PATRONIZE THE PATRIOTIC
MEN RETURNING FROM WAR
Says Z. W. Hines, of the State Council
of National Defense, Talking of
Reconstruction.

THE campaign for employment for
every soldier in Kentucky when he
returns from the battlefield of France
is right and proper" says e. w. Hines
of the Council of Defense, but in the
return to normal conditions, the citi-
zens of this state should also bear in
mind the great personal business sac
rifices which have been made by men,
bers of the various war boards over
the state. have reference more par
ticularly to the work of the lawyers
and doctors, many of whom have
served the government at a personal
loss. The clientele of these men has
drifted away that the public be urged
to return to them now that their ser
vices to the government IN the admin
istration of the selective service are
about over.
"If you were patronizing physi-
clan or were the client of a lawyer
who rendered patriotic service to his
Government" continued Mr.. Hines"
make it point to go back to him.
Surely, he deserves your considera-
ton, now that we are getting back to
normal condition. To use a military
term, "As you were," when it comes
to these men who have been serving
the Government at personal loss"

EASY MONEY FOR
IMPERSONATOR OF
U. S. MARSHAL
Man Arrested at Catlettsburg For Inn
persOnating An Officer Seems TO
BE Wanted Everywhere.

The Ashland Independent says: In
uiries are coming in fast from various
parts of the country about w. w. Byrd
the man who was arrested Sunday
night in Russell after he had attempt
ed to get w. NJ. Jones a merchant to
put up a cash bond for his appearance
in court on a charge of being a coun-
terfeiter, a charge which Byrd who
claimed to be a United States marshal
made.
In addition to several from West
Virginia and Ohio inquiries received
Monday by the local officers, Sheriff
DeBoard received a telegram this
morning from Toledo, Ohio, and one
from Charleston, w. Va, asking that
the man under arrest be held until an
officer could arrive and investigate the
mans record.
According to the word which the
authorities get Byrd, or whatever his
name is, has been having easy sailing
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1918-12-19

in his efforts to secure money without
work His pet scheme seems to have
been pick out what he believed to be
good victim, inform him that he was
under suspicion of being a counter
feiter, show the badge of United
States marshal, demand that he be al
lowed to inspect the safe or money
drawer of the victim, find therein
money in an envelope, seal the en-
velope give the owner receipt for it
and then put the envelope in his peck
ct presumably for evidence. While 60
ing through the victims possessions
the alleged marshal would get an idea
of how much ready cash the merchant
had and he would then demand of his
victim that he put up a cash bond for
his appearance before the court. The
bond put up the rest is easy imagined.
In some cases thu man under arrest"
would be permitted if he so de sires
to pay the marshal" sum of money
and the charges against him be drop
ped.
1t is said that Byrd even went so
for once when his authority was cues
toned, to take man before the Unit
ed States Commissioner and file
charges against him in person. He
managed to escape detection at the
time by his shere audacity.

The solution of this difficult and
intricate problem is based upon stud
les at Northfeld, Halstad and Coka-
to in Minnesota. All of the factors
of cost are included and it is found
that the Mortified the average an
nual cost per quart is So cents, with
prices of feed based on the market
of January 1, 1918. To this price,
however, must be added about eight
tenths of cent additional for the
production of market milk to cover
costs not included when the product
is sold to creameries in the form of
butterfat.
Those who talk Of milk at the old
price Of cents a quart, therefore,
should remember that it costs about
6 cents at the farm to produce milk
for he market, and that here is a
large additional expense entailed in
transportation and bottling, and n
distributing to the consumer.
