A RECORD DAYS WORK.

A young lady of Herald acquaint-
ance, living on Hartford Route 3,
holds the record, we believe, for one
days work. This young woman is
housekeeper for an aged parent and
a sick brother; she has the entire
management of the household, in
Guiding the preparation of the three
daily meals, the busting and
Frightening up, and all the multi
tude of other things that so to fill up
the catalogue of a housekeeper'
daily tasks. Yet to our knowledge,
one day last week, she did all her
house-work, had the three meals
steaming on the table with prompt
punctuality, and after this went to
the field, cut, hung and housed 100
sticks of tobacco, in one day This
young lady is no criterion, but only
an example of what can be accom-
plished when the feminine hand
takes up the work left vacant by
masculine departures. Not only is she
winning the admiration of the male
fraternity in this community but is
helping Uncle Sam in material way
to dehver the knockout blow to the
Hun. The Herald refrains from CIV
ing her name for fear some other
fellow will step in and beat the
W, tiers time.

GETTING Up IN THE MORNING.

Getting up at three O'Clock in the
morning was the toughest feature of
his Job in France, declares Walter c.
Plank, Y. NJ. c. A. man, who has
just returned to his homo in Jerome
vile, o., after ten months service
overseas, From other source Z. is
learned that most OF the time Plank
was in France he was in "Y" huts
and dugouts under almost inccssant
she'll fire. Bu- he feared the Ger
nina Big Berthas less than he did
his own Big Ben.
How ! used to groan when the
call came" says Plank, "hecause I
never was an early bird by choice"
But when | thought Of those young
er men soon TO come in from their
long night of trench duty I jumped
out from under the covers and into
my clothes and by the time they ar
rived at the "Y" hut the coffee and
chocolate We're steaming on the
stove.

the satisfaction rendered the lighting
men by this simple service they'd
dig twice as deeply into their pockets

HARTFORD SCHOOL NOTES.

Two new teachers have recently
been elected by the Board of Trus-
tees. Miss Mary Laura Pendleton
was chosen to take the place of Miss
Elizabeth Moore who formerly had
charge Of the primary department.
MISS Moore resigned to accept the
position as secretary for the Civilian
relief work of Ohio County. She IS
now in indianapolis receiving in
structions in her new work. Miss
Moore has been on the faculty for the
past four years and has made a splen-
did reputation as teacher. We wish
her success in her new work. Mr..
o. ID. Carson has also been elected
TO ill the vacancy made By the resig-
nation OF Prof. j. Il. Hoagland and
will have charge of the sub-high
school department. Prof. Hoagland
was valuable member OF the faculty
last year and he will be greatly
missed. He has moved TO Boone
Vile Ind, to take charge of the
American Cooperative store at that
place. The new teacher come highly
recommended and we expect from
them the same high class service as
rendered by the two just resigned.

PEACE MOVE PROMPTED
BY HOME UNREST
Rulnor From Germany Indicates
Kaiser Fears Internal
Uprising.

London.-The view that the Aus
trian peace note was issued under
urgent pressure of conditions within
the Central Empires is supported by
all information that leaks across the
frontieys. Responsible opinion in
this country has always protested
against any undue hopes being found
ed on the economical stress in Ger
many and Austria, and the British
public has been urged to remember
the extraordinary power of the Ger
man race to adapt themselves to a
much lower scale of living and the
horelessness of an attempt at revolu-
ton by old men, women and children
in these days of machine guns.
But in the last few days rumors
have taken on a new complexion.
They are unconfirmed, but they point
to some sensational happening be-
hind the scenes in Germany. The
-KaisCr's recent speech to the Krupp
woTlmen proves how overwrought
he is, and certain passages in it, CEN
sored as they were, as the German
press has complained, hardly read
like that of a sane man. There may
consequently be some ground for the
story that he is suffering from severe
nervous breakdown. =
Kaiser May Be Actor.
Another rumor has it that the
Kaiser, forseeing the utter ruin Of
his house, is contemplating one Of
those dramatic moves so characteris-
tic Of his temperament. One of his
most renowned predecessors, it is re-
membered. Charles V, in the Six
tecIth century, left the world for q
monastery; and if he really may be
thinking Of some spectacular act Of
renunciation, ii is remarked here, the
Allies would easily provide q suitable
Ts5ee, Of retreat, which the Lutheran
Church might find it difficult to Offer,
Setting aside these reports, how
ever, another view Of the Austrian
note, widely accepted in London. is
that it was issued to prepare the Ger
man people for a retreat. That
would make it out to be inspired by
the military chiefs. They, il is con-
tended, see that they must relinquish
Belgium in order to shorten the line
on account of their destroyed di-
visions, and they wish TO prepare
the German people for this practical
acknowledgement of military failure.
Want To Detach France.
Moreover, with characteristic mis-
understanding of the psychology of
their enemies, the Germans still be-
lieye they could detach France from
her allies by the return of the Oc-
cupied French territory and some
concessions about Alsace-Lorraine:
and for this reason they would like to
see the Entente inveigled into in
formal secret conversations.
The proper reply TO that, many
here believe, would be q brief def
mite joint statement OF the Entente's
war aims. A year or two ago IL
might have been difficult to draft
that; but now the Allies have reach
ed quite close enough agreement
among themselves to make it simple
to draw up such a pronouncymept.

OHIO COUNTY CAPTAIN OF
INDUSTRY PASSES AWAY.

Milton McLead 'Bardwell, General
Manager of the Taylor G. Williams
Mines in this County, after two years
of persistent illness passed away on
the early morning of the 26th, of
last month, at his residence at Tay-
lor Mines.
Mr.. Bardwell was born at Winona,
Miss, forty-four years ago. He re-
ceived his education in his home town
and at oxford University OF that
state. When most a youth he engag-
ed in business at Louisville, where
his capabilities attracted the atten-
ton of the Byrne & Speed Coal Com
pany and others having large coal
interests in this County and he was
soon placed in full charge of one of
the largest soal and coal producing
interest in Western kentucky.
Fifteen years ago he was married
to Miss Mayme Barnard the lovely
daughter of Capt. and Mrs. l. p.
Barnard, originally of this county.
They came to this county and lived
alternately at Williams and Taylor
Mines where they were always in So
cial touch with their many and de-
voted friends at Hartford, Beaver
Dam and at the Mines.
Mr.. Bardwell was natural lead
err of men with warm social side
for his intimate friends. While he
exacted of his men at the mines a
strict performance of the business
phase of their engagements he was
always open minded, frank, fair and
patient in hearing their complaints
which were during his management,
always adjusted to the entire salts
faction of his men and the Coal Com
pany he represented; for. druing the
whole period of his connection with
the mines he never had strike or
other serious trouble with his en-
ployees. He always had the endorse
ment and unqualified confidence of
his employers. His business course,
from the very start, has been on the
upward trend.
While it seems a merciless decree
of Providence to have stricken down
one so capable of good, so helpful to
labor and capital. so cheering and
pleasing to all in the very zenith of
his manhood. Yet, his friends and
family have comfort in this that
his life was both useful and beauti-
full, that he wore gracefully and
coura geously the armor of true citi-
zen-ship. When he laid it down in
his prime he took no chances at
marring his corner with the, ills,
suffering and crepitude of senility.
He did his work well and rests well.
Mr.. Bardwell is survived by his
wife, his father and mother, Mr.. w.
M. Bardwell of Winona, Miss, and
one half sister, Mrs. Knox. The
funeral took place at his fathers
residence in Winona, on the after
noon of the 27th, of last month.

work of the Y. NJ. C. A. To enter
this service you must be American
born and be loyal in every respect

pensation or an allowance up TO
$4,000 per month, according to
their needs, is given your family.
You must also carry $4,000 insur-
ance and the Y, NJ. C. A. pays the

must be a member of some church
and profess christianity. Men of
draft age with apparent physical
defects such as a missing finger,
toe, etc, will be accepted for this
service. Mr.. II. V. McChesney, of

PACK YOUR EGGS NOW
Waste of Eggs UnpatriOtic.

Egg specialists from the Ken
lucky Food and Drug Department
and the United States Department
Of Agriculture are scheduled to be
in Mt. Sterling on June 6 for the
purpose of conducting a practical
egg handling demonstration. This
is free and open to all persons in
the community who wish to learn
the best methods in handling eggs.
The purpose of these demonstra-
tons is to aid the farmers, buyers,
and shippers in Gambling, packing,
and grading of eggs so they may
bring better prices and meet the
requirements of the laws affecting
the sales of eggs.
Estimates show a loss of over
SO, 100000 each year in Kentucky
due to poor handling of eggs. But
more important than the money loss
in food that is now needed for our
people and our allies. Food will
help win the war. Any person al
lowing food to spoil is unpatriotc.
The demonstrators will show how
this waste can be prevented and
our food supply increased.
At this meeting which is one of
series being held throughout Ken
lucky, people attending will learn
how to tell good, stale, heated and
bad eggs by Gambling and how to
make cheap yet satisfactory egg
Gamblers. Each visitor can do ac-
tual Gambling if he desires.
Posters viii be placed, giving the
exact time and place of the meet
ing. The men who are giving these
demonstrations are w. G. Terrell,

and Drug Department and Allen NJ.
