SACKETT WARNS AGAINST IG
NORING OF FOOD RULE.

Fred M. Sackett, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator for Kentucky, has called
attention to a ruling of the admins
tration which was made some time
ago, but which does not seem to be
fully understood, and the failure t.
observe which may lead some into
difficulties with the Washington OF;
flee. This ruling requires all delays
in flour not to sell to anyone who is
subject to license, but who has not
yet taken out a license.
ALI millers, all wholesalers OF
flour, all retailers during a business
in foodstuffs at the rate of $4,000
a year, and particularly all manufac.
turers of alimentary paste, are sub
ject to license. Unless the order OF
such persons shows the license num-
Der on the order they should be re-
fused.
Some wholesalers and flour deal
ers have even been resorting to the
plan of bidding to millers for -four al
price in excess of proper rulings a.
determined by the milling divisions
regulations, thereby putting in jeop-
ardy their own licenses, as an Offer
to pay for flour a price in excess oil
milling regulations comes under pro
hibition as an unfair practice.

FARMERS MUST NOT FEED:
WET CORN TO YOUNG STOCK

The question of feeding wet corn
to young stock has caused farmers OF
Kentucky to investigate the possiole
results and, although there has been
very little trouble in Central Ken
lucky along this particular line, the
feeding of young pigs, beer anu
dairy cattle in this locality is oelng
carefully guarded and wherever wet
corn is given it is given In smali
portions. For instance the young
dairy cattle may have three or TOUR
ears, the young beef cattle about two
ears and the pig about one-half ear
to start with and the portions are IN
creased gradually up to the regular
feed. of course roughage is fed with
the corn. With young calves it Will
not do to feed wet corn and farmers
do not attempt to give 1T. Ii we.
corn is decayed the farmer would
under no circumstances give it to any
stock and the case of frosted corr
wherever it is fed the greatest risk

VOLUME xxxvII
PARIS ENTITLED TO STATE AID
FOR MAIN STREET.

At a meeting of the City Council
some time ago Councilman j. j.
Veatch brought up the subject of OBJ
tanning State aid for Main street
from the road fund of the State
Roads Department, and gave it as his
opinion the aid could be secured, if
the proper effort should be made.
Mayor E. b. January addressed two
communications to Attorney-Generai
Chas. H. Morris, setting forth the
needs of the fund for the street, and
asking for an official opinion as to
the matter. He explained to the At
torney-General the deal by which
the street was transferred to the city
from the county, and that there was
every reason in the world why Paris
should have the benefits of the fund.
Yesterday Mayor January received
the following reply from Mr.. Morris,
from which it seems there is good
prospect of the city getting the
needed aid for placing Main street
in a good condition. Mr.. Morris
letter follows:
Frankfort, KY, Feb. 81.
Mayor E. B. January, Paris, KY.
Dear Sir
Il have read your letter of the
22d inst, and am of the opinion that
under the facts stated your city
would be entitled to State aid, par
ticularly if Main street be a con-
Meeting link in an inter-county road.
This seems to be in conformity with
Subsection z, of Section 4356X Ken,
lucky Statutes, and the rulings there
on by the State Good Roads Depart
ment.
yours Truly,
CHARLES H. NORRIS,
"Attorney-General."

KENTUCKY D. A. r. REALIZE
DREAM OF YEARS.

At last Kentucky Daughters of the
American Revolution are to see the
realization of their dream of years,
room in magnificent Memorial Con-
tlnental Hall, at Washington, D. 9.
In this building which is a temple
erected to the memory of ancestors
who achieved American independ-
ence, most of the States have ele-
gantly furnished rooms which are
used for the State meetings, etc.
Kentucky, after much difficulty
secured one of the most desirable In
the building, and through the efforts
of her Daughters" it will be fur
nished and ready for occupancy by
the time of the Continental Congress
in April. The carpet is laid and sew
eral rare furnishings have already
been placed in it.
If necessary Uncle Sam may use
this room during the war, as he may
the others of the building. The
dedication of this room will be an
event no doubt that will create a
greater desire on the part of the
Daughters to be present at the COM
ing Congress.

WELFARE OF FEDERAL EN-.
PL0YES IN WASHINGTON.

The Federal Government is not
only giving close attention to the
matter of the proper housing of its
new appointees in Washington, but
the general welfare of the employees
is now considered in greater measure
than ever before. Many of the
young people who have come to.
Washington for war work are hum
dreds, even thousands, of miles from
nome for the first time in their lives
They are strangers in a strange land,
and it is not to be wondered at that
they become homesick and magnify
the troubles that they are bound to
meet during the period of adjustment
to new conditions. The department
heads realize that a good clerk must
be a cOntended one, and many Offices
have appointed welfare workers
whose business it is to take an un-
ObStrusive interest in the affairs os
the employees and to try to help
them with their difficulties. Expert
ments along this line have had such
good results that the number of off,
ces which employ welfare workers Is
increasing.
Since the war began about $4,000
employees have been added to the
civil service in Washington. The
United States Civil Service Commits
sion, whose duty it is to recruit this
branch of the service, estimates
that this calendar year will add an
other 10000. Steuographers are be-
ing appointed in great numbers.
There is also need for clerks, both
men and women, who are trained 10
certain special or technical lines,
ship craftsmen, mechanical drafts
men, and workmen in trades connect
ed with ship-building. The represen-
tatives of the civil service commits
sion at the postoffices in all cities
are prepared to furnish definite In
formation and application blanks.

BOURBON FARMING CONDITIONS

Farming conditions in Bourbon, as
we'll as other counties in this Sec
ton, have greatly improved with the
advent of clearer and somewhat
warmer weather. Many farmers
have started their spring blowing
turning sod land, and clearing up
the winters accumulation of rubbish.
They have also been very busy In
the past few days rushing their to-
bacco to the local market so as not
to interfere with the coming OK
spring work on the farm.
Although moving day is general
ly the first of March, the roads yes
terday were lined with the movers
caravans, and for several days there
will be a shifting of farm tenants tn
other places to prepare the ground
for another crop of the soothing
weed. In fact, the work has been
going on in a number of places where
tobacco beds have been burned ia
preparation for the season crop.
There is every indication of a
larger acreage of tobacco in this
county this season. 1t was thought
last season that the acreage would be
reduced and that some of the ground
would be planted in hemp, that sta
pIe having brought such good prices
the past season. The growers say
that raising tobacco at SIS to $50
per hundred pounds will be far more
profitable to them than raising hemp.
There has been nothing to indicate
that any serious damage has been
done to the wheat crop, and many
farmers who have made close ex-
animation of their fields say they are
in first-claSs shape, and that the
Young shoots have survived the ter
rible winter in fine shape. The
snowy covering which has been over
all has tended to protect the wheat
and other hardy crops and the result
will be good crop average this fall
Of the cereal that makes the "staE
of life" The grass in pasture LANDS
is coming up fine and promises tn
make a good showing with the ad'
vent of warm weather.
Poultry, which is now sky high In
price. and still flying, has come our
of the winter seige in good shape
and the hens now laying are making
the prices of eggs take tumble
From seventy cents few weeks ag1
the fruit has dropped in the price
scale until thirty-five cents per dozen
is the order of the day with the re-
tailerS.
Altogether, the coming spring is
casting its lights as well as shadows
before, and the outlook is a yer!
bright one for the farmer, whose
fields of activity have been limited
for several months.

HAVE YOU INCOME OF $1,000?

Those of our citizens who are
wealthy, enough to have an income
sufficient to bring them under the
provisions of the Federal Income Tax
law, will be interested in knowing
that the time for filing reports with
the Collector of Internal Revenue
has been extended.
Those who have not yet made out
their reports will have until April
to get them up and send them in. 4
great many persons are under the
impression that report must be
made out whether their income is as
much as $1,000, if single, or $4,000,
is married, which is a mistake. If
your income is not large enough u
bring you under the provisions of the
law you need pay no attention to it,
