IT'S PRETTY SOFT FOR YOU!

You are a merchant, a manufac-
turer, a broker, a lawyer willing,
but fat; patriotic, but forty. You
can't stand the gaff, so there is a SOL
dier in France doing your fighting
for you. No matter what sacrifice
of ease, time and money you are
making, beside the lot of your SOL
der in France. it's pretty soft for
you, isn't it?
You are young, you are strong, but
because you are good farmer your
country orders you to serve at home,
raising food for the soldiers. You
are sweating in the fields from sun
up to shutdown, short of labor, fer
tilizer and materials, but beside the
lot of your soldier in France, it's
pretty soft for you, isn't it?
You are working in the office, the
shop or the factory, some because
your country requires it, some be-
cause age or condition demands it..
You are doing hard work, good
work, patriotic work, but after all,
beside the lot of your soldier in
France, it's pretty soft for you, isn't
it?
You have a soldier in France who
is facing death for you. What can
you do for him? There is very lit
tie that you can do for him in COM
parison to what he is doing for you.
But
You can give him yourself-your
loyalty in thought, word and deed.
You can give him your money-to
the last dollar if he needs it to carry
on your fight. But
Your country does not ask you to
give, but to invest, your savings in
the best and safest bond on earth
the War Savings Stamps. !
It's pretty soft for you, isn't it?
Buy your War Savings Stamps to-
day that your soldier in France may
know that the man for whom he's
going through He'll has fighting
stuff in him, even if he has to stay at
home.

Get In This Class.

The June campaign for War Saw
ings is expected to put before Uncle
Sam his best" citizens; that is, all
who subscribe Immediately for the
baby bonds. A strict account is to
be kept of all who subscribe, and a
still stricter account of all who do
not. Every man, woman and child
is to go on record, and reports will
be sent to Washington Immediately
following the campaign. 1t is in this
way that Uncle Sam can round up
the slackers-those who don't "go
across" and those who don't come
across" Every American citizen
must do one or the other-seme of
them have done both.
Uncle Sam is having no trouble in
massing his fighting army for across
the seas; it's the stay-at-home army
which doesn't realize its own i'm
portance that he is rounding up.
Don't wait till he "gets" you; volun-
teer your dollar for War Savings
Stamps, and do it before June %.

WILHELM WAS CROOKED BE

German proof of the saying that
all is not gold that glitters was
forthcoming in New York with the
disclosure that the magnificent"
cup which Emperor Wilhelm award
ed to the American winner of his
ocean yacht race in 1905 was not
gold and was not worth $4,000, as
was announced at the time. It was
made of pewter with a thin veneer
of gold and was worth scarcely $40.
The deception recoiled against the
emperor during the recent Red Cross
drive, it was revealed, as it was auc-
toned and reauctioned until it adj

THRESHERMEN AND MILLERS
HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING

Bourbon County farmers, thresh.
ers and millers held a meeting al
the Court House Tuesday afternoon
at which time prices for threshine
wheat, rye and barley and the price
OF labor necessary for such work
was decided upon.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Lawrence d. Mitchell, of North
Mfddletown, Bourbon County Food
Administrator, and was largely at
tended by Bourbon County farmers.
The owners of threshing machines
and the farmers came to an agree
ment on prices to control the thresh-
ing of grain as follows:
Wheat, rs cents per bushel.
Rye, 80 cents per bushel.
Barley, 20 cents per bushel.
No price was placed on the thresh-
ing of oats.
The question of labor and the
prices to govern same in the field dur
ing the threshing season was discuss
ed and the scale of prices adopted
was as follows:
Sackers, SO per day.
Straw men, SO per day.
Field men, $2.25 per day.
Two-horse wagon and driver, $3.50
per day.
The question of sacks was taken up
with the grain dealers and millers
and it developed that there was
about half enough sacks in the
county to care for the 100000
bushels of wheat to be threshed, and
that the elevator cana citv In Pour
bon County was around 100000
bushels.
To meet this wheat sack scarcity,
1t was decided that every farmer
should appoint himself Committee
of one to see that he hauled no sacks
from the grain dealers or mills until
he was ready to thresh his wheat,
and that as soon as his wheat had
been threshed that he would haul it
to the elevator or granary so that
his fellow wheat raiser could have
sacks to care for his wheat.
Threshermen at the meeting agreed
to take all grain fields as they came,
and not to skip from one neighbor-
hood to the other. In other words,
all fields of wheat will be threshed
out as they come, regardless of
whether they contain twenty acres
or five hundred acres.
Mr.. Joshua Bohanon, of Louis
vile, Inspector Grain Threshing Di-
vision of the u. S. Food Administra-
ton Grain Corporation, was present
and gave the farmers valuable infor-
nation regarding the condutc of their
organization.

gNow, Listen To This!

1.-The idea of the average newspa-
per man." says Arthur Brisbane in a
recent address bristling with pointed
truths, els that he has done his whole
duty if he convinces somebody that
all the other newspapers are bad,
quite overlooking the fact that the
intelligent man may say: In that
case yours is about the same"
You may note it as fact that the
best newspaper is invariably found
among those newspapers which at
tend to the business of making news
papers without wasting their time
running down other newspapers. But
even the best newspapers share to
some degree the i'll repute given to
newspapers in general by those who
can see only evil in their competitors.

sSetting a Start in Manufacturing

aScttlng q start In MANUFACTURING
One of the big problems bothering
n great many American young men,
recently graduated from colleges and
schools, is as to how they can get a
start In some line of manufacturing.
This is perhaps the opportunity that
hooks most attractive to the bulk of
Our business beginners.
Some thoughts on this question
were presented the past week to the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, by a committee on industrial
education. The committee urged
That rich mems boys and poor mems
boys should be trained at the same
school in basic processes of manufac-
Ture.
A great many ambitious young men
take jobs at Office work. They may
spend years i'm debating letters, re-
ceiving and shipping orders, keep
ting books, and passing on credits.
And after they have spent the first
Aush OF their young manhood they
may have but superficial knowledge
of the process of making the goods.
They might be able to run a bus
sdzness, if these processes continue the
same year after year. But fashions
al manufacture change fast. The
ONCE trained man is incapable of
adapting himself to these changes
and his subordinates take advantage
OF his ignorance
