STATE FAIR STAKES TO TOTAL
$4,000.

The stakes offered at the State
Fair this year will total $4,000.
Commissioner of Agriculture Cohen
says this is the largest amount that
has been offered in prizes since the
organization of the State Fair, the
increase being $4,000.
There will be $4,000 stake to be
divided between the fat cattle win
ners OF all breeds and separate $1O,-
600 stake to be offered by the fat cat
tie raisers in Kentucky.
The $4,000 stake for five gated
saddle horses will be renewed and di-
vided as last year. A $1,000 stake
for mules, the largest ever offered by
any State Fair for this breed of ami
mails, will be offered by the State Fair
this year.
The one-judge system instead of
three Judges will be adopted. Irvine
Railey, of Versailles, will judge the
five-gaited saddle horses in the class
shows and the grand championship
will be judged by Claude Pember-
ton, of Elizabethtown.

contest (pitching horse shoes) will

SALARIES INCREASED.

WASHINGTON, May 13. - All
WASHINGTON, May 10. - ALI
railroad employees whose monthly
pay in December, 1915, was less than
$3.50 a month have been recommend
ed for wage increases by the Rail
road Wage Commission, making the
largest wage increase in the history
of the world.
The recommendations, if adopted
by Director General McAdoo, would
give the workers $100,00O,000 in
back pay to January 1, and would
add $288,013,718 to the pay roll as
of 1917, net increase of 15.021 per
cent.
Wage advances proposed, however,
do not represent net increases over
existing pay, but are based on the
month of December, 1915. In other
words, any increases which may have
been allowed by individual roads since
that time must be deducted. In
some cases deductions will almost, if
not altogether, cover the increases
suggested, according to the report.
The roads themselves during 1916
and 1917 increased wages an amount
equivalent to $350,000,000 if applied
to the present number of their en-
plOyeeS.

again. May His name be praised!
MANY years l suffered the excru-
ciating agony of sick headacne,
heartburn and pains in my back.
Horrible misery beset me, leaving
cramps. in my sides, arms and legs.
But tried to bear my cross, as He
would have me-
81 tried doctor after doctor-with
no relief. 1t was the same old story
oft repeated-different doctors with
different remedies often nauseatlng,
which left me really worse OF than
before. Then, one day, an old par
ishioner friend told me of Acid Iron
Mineral. And am now so grateful
that / want all suffering humanity to
know of this wonderful natural iron.
All can say is: God answered my
prayer"
This is but one of the many thous-
ands of similar letters received dur
ing the past thirty years from doc
tors, clergymen, lawyers, pharmacists
and laymen who have first known
peace and happiness after taking A
I'M. And the best of it is that the
patient takes no risk, financial or
physical, in taking this marvellous or
ganic iron, for it does not discolor
the teeth, as do other irons; and it
aids, instead of detracts, in all forms
of indigestion.
Statistics show that it benefits
over ninety-four per cent. of those
who use it. proprietors can we'll
afford to unqualifiedly guarantee it
to all, and accept the losses of the
minute few it fails to relieve of all
suffering. Therefore, all druggists
have been instructed to refund its
purchase price if, after taking the
first bottle the patient does not feel
vigorous, hearty, and hale-or so
much better that he insists on con-
tinuing it's use.
AIM is the only natural, non-cor-
rosive, assimilable iron known to
medical science. Therefore, reject all
spurious limitations, which profit
seeking druggists try to thrust upon
you, and demand the original Acid
Iron Mineral For sale by Brooks &
Snapp, Druggists. (adv)

WAR STAMPS-ToKENS OF
HONOR.

Large streams from little stream
lets grow, and high thoughts put in
action move the world. One hun
dred millions of people giving of their
surplus of wealth to advance the
cause of liberty is not sufficient
to "give until it hurts" is the slogan
of the hour. How much can you do
without? No one knows until he
tries. If you want something very
badly and have not sufficient means
to get what you want you may mort
gage your future earnings for the
thing you want.
Men are not only giving all they
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-05-14

have they are giving their lives for
the cause of liberty. "All that man
hath he will give for his life" The
founders of the nation pledge their
lives, their fortunes, and their sacred
honor" in its cause.
The war stamp is like the widows
mite. If one stamp is all you can
afford, you have done as much for
honor as the man who has given
millions. But buy it NOW. Then
you may find it in your power to buy
another. They are tokens Of honor
that rival the decorations of any
power or pOtentate-they represent
the most righteous cause for which
mankind has battled.

Through long days of anguish
And nights devoid of ease
Still heard in his soul the music

OF wonderful melodies!"
-Longfellow.
These are the heroes-real heroes!
the people who, racked with bod
lily pain, and suffered untold misery
and agony-still greet one with a
smile, and uncomplainingly complete
their daily tasks. -
Such was the life history of the
Rev. E. E. Sullivan, of Savage, Mass.
who, though he suffered the soul-and-
body torture of ever-present pain
still mounted the pulpit and preached
happiness and content to his unsus-
pecting congregation. ..,.
So accomplishing, his human
flock never suspected that he, spent
those long nights of misery and days
devoid of ease''-and yet heard with
in his soul that music of beautiful
melodies"
Have you one such in your family
perhaps crippled up with the un-
satible agony of rheumatism, the
Notwithstanding misery Of continu-
ed backache, or the soul-defying tor
ture of chronic indigestion?-who
still manages to greet you with words
of happiness and cheer?
If so, the words of DR.. Sullivan
should interest you-in the cause OF
humanity alone; and you should seek
to create for that beloved one such
"surcease of sorrow and misery" as
the last stanza of this famous poem
portrays:
Then the night shall be filled with
music, and
The cares which infest the day
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And silently steal away"
For years / suffered the tortures

nights, prayed my wonder
