TO THE WOMEN Of
. BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY
Give Butter and Eggs and
Small Change to Community
Fund.

Men rever progress very Tar unless
the women are with them Breckin-
ridge County fell behind IN the Second
Liberty Loan. Was it because we
women failed to do our partp " so now
is the time to redeem ourselves and
here is a plan by which everyone can
help-the Third Liberty Loan, even il
you haven't $50 boGd-if you live on
farm you can give dozen eggs, or
pound OF butter. II you have big
flock Of chickens or two cows. perhaps
you can give a dozen eggs or four
pounds Of butter, or as many as you
choose. But we can give one pound or
one dozen or Csc, very little thing,
and yet IL every woman will help it
will add between $1,000 and $4,000 to the
Liberty Loan.
But you say "what il live out next
to Hardin county or Grayson or Davis,
l can't 60 to Hardinsburg with few
eggs =" Certainly not. You can ask
your merchant to give you cash for
your Liberty Loan with a few eggs,
take it to the nearest Postoffce and
tell the Postmaster what it's for. The
Postm aster keeps account Of the num-
Der of women and the amount of money
until May 4th, then he forwards 1t to
Mrs. M. B. Kincheloe, Hardiusburg.
But is it just for farm women? No
indeed. 1t is for every woman in
Breckenridge county. Every school
teacher, music teacher, dressmaker,
clerk. bookkeeper, housekeeper or
whatever else you may do. Even the
woman who's husband has presented
her one or two $500 bonds can weedle
him out OF another dollar and be in a
Community Bond.
Each district is given a certificate
of participation for the exact amount
it comes in and when the bond comes
due each district receives its exact
amount with AZ per cent interest and
spends it's money on whatever it needs
most.
Now get busy, lend your paper-tell
everyone you see until every corner
of the county is familiar with the plan.
And as mother tucks her children in
bed with last loving touch, so we,
when the others are thru, go one step
farther with a Community Bond and
with a last loving touch for the Third
Liberty Loan, send Breckenridge

Oh, see the camel!

On, see the camel!
The camel has a hat. Is it a real
hat? No, children, it is only a pic
ture of what was once a hat before
a very thoughtless giraffe borrowed
it. And did the giraffe wear the
bonnet? Alas, no. On the contrary
it swallowed it. Let us see how
such a terrible happening came to
pass.
The camel's name is Mrs. Sarah
Egypt. She is one of a shaggy band
of thirty of her kind coming here
with Ringing Brothers Circus,
Tuesday, June IL.
AS a rule camels don't wear bon
nets, not even when the team of six
teen of them appear in the big street
parade harnessed like horses and
drawing a golden tableau wagon. So
there is a story to be told. The lady
of the circus who plays the role of
the queen in the great spectacle,
I'm Days of DID," has a little
daughter who is very fond of camels.
A short time ago this little girl was
given a new hat, and, naturally. she
wanted to show it to her friend,

The Kaiser Reprnand Prince Henry Allowing the British Fleet
Escape Ke the War

An event unique in the political
history of these United States, oc-
Cured at Washington recently,
when President Wilson, his cabinet,
members of the diplomatic corps,
army and navy men and others in
official life, viewed a motion picture
made from material furnished by an
eX-ambassador to a foreign power.
The possibilities of MY Four
Years in Germany for a screen play
could not long be overlooked, nor
were they, and the motion picture
seen by the President and his party
was the result of that observation.
1t was declared by the foreign dip
lomats to be a perfect reproduction
of scenes of great import that were
staged in Berlin and in the war zone
after and even before the Germans
had declared war and which have
been described by Ambassador
Gerard in his famous book MY Four
Years in Germany"
Record upon the films of the ex-
periences of James w. Gerard, am
bassador of the United States at
Berlin, through the first years of
the war, as he has himself put them
on the printed page. They show
him defending the integrity and
honor of the American people, max
ing defiant speeches; they picture
with and without him the Emperor;
the Crown Prince; the Chancellor;
Bethmann, the Secretary for Foreign
Affairs Jagow; Admiral Tirpitz;
high officers of the general staff;
and other familiar figures of min
istries and Reichstag. Scenes of the
streets, of lighting, of prisons are

Mrs. Egypt and the Hat That Is No More

BOSS" William Chambers, who has
charge of all the thousand animals
of the Ringing Zoo.
"Oh, wouldn't it be fun to put it
on Egypt" said she.
To please her, Chambers made the
camel bow it's head while he tied
the long ribbon bow about it's neck
and then made the animal pose for
a picture
Here enters the Muse of Tragedy.
The little girl had skipped away
to summon her mother TO see the
funny sight, and at the same mo-
ment BOSS" Chambers was called
aside to attend to the wants of Cap
tain Congo" the big chimpanzee who
rules the monkey family.
He was gone but a moment, but
that moment was too long by far.
For when he returned it was to find
that one of the giraffes had unslung
its thirteen-foot neck, yanked the
millinery from Mrs. Egypt's head,
and devoured it. And so there is
one very sad little girl enroute with
the circus, whose mother says she
will surely have to wear her old
bonnet all summer long.
