NOTICE TO CONSUMERS.

To Our Electrical Consumers
On account of the high cost Of
everything at this time, we are forced
to ask our patrons who use electric
current to share with us a part of the
great war burden.
o On April 1st we will reduce dis
counts from 1c per X. w. H. to Zee
per X. w. H. and readjust the rate
schedule for electric lighting as to
the quantity used, but we will not
1aise the unit price per Kilowatt in
any case. These advances will be so
slight that we feel assured that our
patrons will cheerfully aid us in It'd
ing over the period of high costs in
cident to the war and until normal
conditions are again restored.
Elsewhere in to-day's paper will
be found a copy of the new rate
schedules which will be applied on
April bills.
Assuring you of our regret that
this has become necessary to prevent
losses that would impair service and
threaten the existence of the Com
pany, we remain as ever-"always
ready to serve" =
Yours truly,

FARMERS MEETING DISCUSSES
SEED CORN SITUATION.

A large gathering of farmers and
others interested in agricultural
work held at the court house, Satur-
day afternoon, was addressed by Mr..
Lewis r. Robbins, County Agricul-
tural Demonstration for Fayette and
Bourbon counties. The meeting had
been called at the suggestion of Mr..
Robbins, who discussed with the
farmers the serious question of seed
corn.
Mr.. Robbins, who came here under
direction of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station of the Kentucky Uni
versity, told his hearers of the real
danger that threatened the 1913
corn crop because of a lack of seed
that would grow. He stated that
just in the proportion the seed would
not terminate, just in that proper
ton would the yield be cut down.
Mr.. Robbins brought the cheerful
tidings to the farmers that corn hal
been found in Western Kentucky that
would grow and urged them to send
in their orders at once for whatever
was wanted as the supply was limit
ed. The price of the seed corn had
been announced as $525 per bushel f..
o. b. Hopkinsville. Mr.. Robbins fur
Their stated that an embargo had been
placed on Northern and Western
seed corn, and that it was not to BE-
had. Southern seed corn, according
to Mr.. Robbins, was not desirable,
owing to the latitude
The following committees of farm
ers were appointed to confer with the
farmers in their respective vicinities
in regard to the situation, and to
make arrangements for securing a
supply of the seed corn at once:
Centerville-V. w. Ferguson and
]. Miller Ward; North Middletown-
Logan Bryan and Walter S. Meng;
Riddles Mills-James Fisher and
Thos. w. Current; Millersburg- Jos.
ID. Booth and Joe Penn Redmon;
Clintonville-A.S S. Thompson and A..
L. Stephenson; Hutchison-Robt. Me-
teer and Chas. White; Flat Rock
Samuel Clay and Ray Burris; Paris
Jos. M. Hall and Frank M. Clay.
At meeting of these committees,
held in the court house yesterday
morning at ten o'clock, pledges were
taken from formers agreeing to take
total of 1921 bushels of seed corn,
which will be purchased later on. A
meeting of the farmers will be held
in the county court room in the court
house, just after the patriotic speak
ing at the Opera House next Thurs
day afternoon, at which action will
be taken in regard to purchase of a
carload of seed corn from Western
Kentucky, which will be furnished.
as stated above, at the sale price of
S5.25 per bushel, f. o. b. Hopkins
VILE This corn is guaranteed to Bs
80 per cent. termination test, and
the purchasers will be given several
varieties to pick from-Reed's yell
low Dent, Tennessee Red Cob or
Boone County White.
1t has been estimated that there is
at present only about one thousand
bushels of seed corn in this county,
and that, at the lowest estimate, nine
thousand bushels are required to
plant the normal crop each year in
the county, so the Importance of Sc
curing a sufficient quantity of good
seed corn is very apparent. Every
farmer in the county is urged to at
tend the meeting to be held at the
court house Thursday.

Dollars that iight
By SENATOR HENRY CABOT LODGE

The war will be won by men
and ships, by guns and airplaneS.
Toraise armies and supply them,
to build the navy and support
it, and to furnish ships and trans
port, we must have money in
large amounts. The expendi-
lures of the Government for the
ensuing year are estimated at
$24, 600, 900, 900, a sum which
battles the imagination to con-
ceiVe. That vast amount must
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1918-10-18

come one-third from taxes and
two-thirds from loans. The sue
cess of the Fourth Loan, like
those that preceded it is, there
fore, absolutely necessary. We
must work with the highest
speed, as if the war was to end
in six months. We must pre-
pare in every direction, as if it
was to last for years. Speed
and preparation are both ex-
penSive.
