We are now engaged, that is
the people of the United States,
in raising money to be invested
in Liberty Bonds. Remember
that you are not giving the Gov
eminent one cent, but you are
lending your money for which
you will draw interest at the
rate of Al per cent. In the Rev.
dictionary war for the freedom
of America, the French fought
on American soil under the COM
mand of an American. To-day
in the war for the freedom of
France and for the preservation
of liberty to America, and indeed
to all the world, Americans fight
on French soil under the supreme
command of a Frenchman. The
honors are great, No true
American who knows the history
of his country, but his bosom,
thrills at the thought OF the
American army in France,
The invincible Americans,
in my judgment, will turn
the tide of war; they will bring
to France and her allies a victory
for liberty such as France assist
ed US to win, and pay a deb
long owing and honorably &C
knowledged. Think of LaFay
cite and remember what Gen
Pershing said when he reached
France and knelt at the Chief
tain's grave-''LaFayette W,
are here"

Judge Rollin Hurt returned
to Frankfort to resume his duties
on the Appellate bench this week.
Before leaving home, in an in
terview with reporter for the
News, the Judge emphatically
declined to say whether he would
not accept the nomination for
Governor, in the event that he
should be commissioned to lead
the fight for democracy in Ken
lucky, against the Somerset
Declaimer." Everybody in
Adair county regardless of pol
itics in these times are for the
Judge, if he will accept.
