HARLAN MEN PLEDGE
.$25O,0OO TO LOAN
Means Equivalent to $50 Bond for
Every Man, Woman and Boy
at the Plant.

Harlan workmen have pledged them
selves 10 raise $3.50, 900 for the Liberty
Loan This decision was arrived at nt IA
meeting of the workmen held in the plant
restaurant yesterday afternoon. This IL
equivalent to IA $50 bond for every man,
woman and child employed at the big
ward. There are $500 on the rolls now,
but dcductlng an average amount OF
absentees each day, would leave about
5000 daily reporting When It is con-
sdered that not all of these employees
make high wages, the goal fixed by the
men is the more remarkable.
Committees and subcommittee were
appointed and today every department of
the yard will be combed for subscriptions
big thermometer will be erected to show
the progress Of the campaign and the
workers have fixed two weeks rs the limit
for the time when the money must all be
raised
The talk Of the men while discussing
the loan campaign was not at all en-
couraging to tho Kaiser II that person
could know what these workmen were
planning il would have very depressing
effect upon him. They were told by a
worker that if the Allies won the war
the bonds might possibly at some
financial high points 90 above par, but
that if the war was lost It wouldn't matter
whether they had bond OF not.
Don't worry, wcll win, spoke out
another worker.
General Manager Weaver has offered
four large subscriptions to the men as an
encouragement for them 10 attain the sum
fixed by them They went at the job hard
today. and within fortnight II will not
he very comfortable place for anyone
in the plant who cannot show a third
Liberty Loan button.
BY this action the Harlan shIpbulldcrs
are the first Of the industrial establish
mcnts in this section to report themselves
pledged 100 per cent strong for the
Liberty Loan.

which time its treasury stock will be
raised to $500 per share from it's
present price of $3.50. There has
been good demand for this stock dur
ing the past week. The aggressive
ness of the management of this COM

prices with reasonable assurance Of
profitable advance in the market

by the Local Oil & Gas Company,
operating on the Moss st. John in
Lee county, this stock is not as strong
as previously, but in our judgment,
it's intrinsic value is perhaps better
than it was, and we believe that the
present price of $1.40 asked makes
it a good buy.

NEWS OF BISHOP BATTERTON,S
DEATH REACHES PARIS,

1t has fallen to the lot of Mr..
Bishop S. Batterton, one of the most
popular young men of Bourbon coun-
ty, to be the first from this county, to
make the supreme sacrifice for his
country as a result of wounds re-
ceived in the service on the battle
fields of France.
A telegram to his father, Mr.. AL
fred Batterton, of near Shawhan,
yesterday morning from Washington,
conveying the sad information that
his SON had died on July 20 from
wounds received in action. The tel
gram from George Barrett, Major
General Commanant, stated that the
body would be entered abroad until
after the war. The Commandant
said in his telegram: please accept
my heartfelt sympathy for your great
loss. Your son nobly gave his life in
the service of his country"
Bishop Batterton was the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Batterton, of near
Shawhan. He enlisted in the Marine
Corps in May, 1917, and was one of
the first American boys to be sent
overseas. He was a marksman of rare
ability and was the holder of a sharp
shooters medal which he won in a
competitive match while at the Paris
Island navy yard, in South Carolina.
Besides his parents he is survived
by three brothers, County Judge
George Batterton, of this city, Fred
Batterton, now serving his country
in the Philippines service, and Roy
Batterton, who is engaged in farming
near Paris, and by one sister, Mrs.
R. r. Mcmillan, of Paris. Plans are
being formed for a public memorial
service in honor of the young man
who gave his all in the fight for lib
erty and democracy.
