new VAGRANCY LAW
HAS HAD THE EFFECT
No LOaferS Are Now to BE Found ut
the Cross Roads Grocery Stores
Is Report Brought From
the County.

The new state Vagrancy Law is
having its effect in this county accord
ing to County Agent f. f. Boyd, who
after trip over most every section
of the county. reports that in no part
of the county can the usual number of
loafers be found just now.
Heretofore at most cross roads
grocery stores loafers could be found
who had gathered to talk about the
crops they were not raising or to
give expert advise about how to run
the government but now the cross
road stores are empty of their loafcrs
and the farmers throughout most ev-
cry section of the county are report
ing that every one in their commun-
tiles are working hard in the crops
and although the calling of many boys
to the war is felt in the shortage of
farm labor, they are getting along
very nicely because there is no loaf
ing.
The farmers have been asked to re-
port any loafng that they might know
of in their various communities and
they have promised to do so. If ev-
cry one will keep a close watch on
this matter it is expected that there
will be little trouble experienced in
properly handling all of the crops.

MORE FOOD DRYING
PLANTS ARE NEEDED
But Government Agencies Warn
Against Poor Products and Stock
Selling Schemes.

Washington. n c., July 14-The
United States Department of Agricul
ture and the United States Food Ad-
ministration agree that establishment
of more commercial plants for the
drying of fruits and vegetables is
highly desirable in the present emerg-
ency. Warning is given, however,
against poor products and stock-sell-
ing schemes. Many inquiries regard
ing the extension of the drying indus
try, which is in its infancy in this
country, are beng received.
1t is essential from the beginning
to assure products of excellent quail
ity, Government officials point out.
Process that do not give such pro-
ducts will lead to loss of capital and
local encouragement and will retard
the general movement.
The public is advised to beware of
irresponsible and Inscriptions stock
sell scremes. Establishment of dry
ing plants and manufacture of high
grade products require skill and en-
! perience, absence of which may dam
age the industry through flooding the
market with inferior products
Drying when properly done is re-
cognized as an efficient means of con-
serving food. 1t requires no sugar. II
is reported that the German Govern
ment has fostered the drying industry
in that country.

POLICY or
ROAD DEPT.
MADE KNOWN
General Policy OF the Department Of
Public Roads of Kentucky During
the Period of the War.
(By Commissioner Riley

The policy of the Government is to
give preference to the maintenance of
roads which have already been prop
erly built, and the construction of new
roads is not advocated unless they
are of economic or military import
ance.
1t is the intention of this Depart
ment to comply with the wishes of
our Government in eveary respect.
Owing to the shortage of labor, the
high cost of materials and the insult
flcient road fund of the various cOun-
ties of this commonwealth, it is con-
sidered advisable, at this time, to in
dictate in a general way the attitude
that will hereafter he taken by the
office concerning roads.
The Engineers of the Department
have been instructed to carefully in
spect each road which has been built
under state aid and the various cOun-
ty officials will be advised concerning
the necessary work to be done to
bring the roads up to standard.
The above is in accordance with
the Maintenance Law recently passed
by the General Assembly.
1t is to be hoped that the county
officials will appreciate the fact that
the maintenance of roads is an econo-
mical proposition. A few men, at the
proper time. might make the neces-
sary repairs on road, where as, if
the road were allowed to go mtOuch-
ed it will in time require many men
to get the road in a good passable con-
dition. So from a question of man
power, the road should be maintained.
Besides. proper repairs protect the
original investment 1t is waste OF
money to build and not maintain.
Counties are at liberty to do the
work in order to bring the roads up
to the standard so prescribed, or, il
a county so desires, the state will
share in the most of maintenance on
the same basis as other states aid
work. Should county decide il
wants the state to participate in the

Must Finish Task

Referring to the present war NJ.
Jusserand declared:
THE fight is on. AS we shall no
more desist than Washington did
even at his most perilous hour, the
result is certain. The work must be
done so that it may not have to be
done again. In this we are, all of us,
with you whose enthusiasm, Valor,
resourcefulness and ineNhaustihle
generosity brings us each cheer and
comfort"
Senator Harding declared that the
time had come to apply the maXims
contained in Washington's farewell
address concerning the pernicious
effects of internal dissension in a ma
tional emergency.
''In. our mighty development we
have added to the perils of which
Washington warned asserted the
Senator. THE danger has not been
in party association, but in party ap-
peal or surrender to faction.
"Our growth, our NiNerslhcauon,
our nationwide communication, our
profit-bearing selfishness-these have
filled the land with organized fac
tions, not geographical as Washing
ton so much feared, but commercial,
industrial, agricultural and profess
sional. each seeking to promote the
interests of its own, not without
justification at times, but often
in exacting privileges and
favor through the utterance of
political threats. If popular govern
ment is to survive, it must grant eX-
act justice to all men and fear none.
