The sympathies of other German
troops in that part of Russia are
with the mutineers, it would appear
from wireless advices received by
the state department from Russia.
Demonstrations in favor of the
striking division were held at sew
eral points, and but for the drastic
measures taken by the German mill
tary authorities, disorders doubtless
would have become general among
the kaiser's fighting men in Russia.

CAMPAIGN IS
HUGE SUCCESS
Montgomery County Quota Fixed at
$4,000 But is Greatly Over
subscribed.

Most everyone is prone to criti-
else and say we don't do things
here like they do elsewhere and if
you happen to be elsewhere" you
will hear people there say the same
thing, as human nature is alike the
world over but we are poud of the
fact that in the. Red Cross Drive
which has just closed we did not
hear a single complaint or criticism
of any kind but we found everybody
willing and anxious to help to make
Montgomery county Ego over the
top" in the campaign.
Our quota had been fixed at
$4,000 and when we noticed that
the adjoining county of Bath had
been fixed at only $4,000 and the
rich county of Clark at only $4,000
did we complain or grumble? No,
the men in charge simply buckled
down to work and said we will not
not stop or even falter until we
have done even more than they have
asked of us and when the figures
were totaled up by Secretary Hill
this morning at ten O'clock he re-
ported that Montgomery county had
contributed $13,613.47. We are
proud of the county and the gener-
ons donation made to the Red Cross
and we are sure that our people
stand ready to join heartily in any
movement that will aid our boys in
France fighting the battle for right,
justice and freedom. Chairman r..
j. Bigstaff and Secretary Hill and
those assisting them deserve the
thanks of everyone.
There are yet some pledges to be
collected but counting what is vet
out and what has been paid total
of $14,306.97 has been raised
The colored people have contrib
uted $571.50 in cash and Secretary
Hill says he is confident that fully
81 900 will be subscribed. This is a
very liberal contribution and those
that contributed deserve the com
mendation of all good people.

More contestants are wanted in
The Advocates bH voting cam,
paign and the opportunity for new
candidates to enter and win are
exceptionally good. In many sec
tons Of the surrounding territory,
there are no active representatives
whatever and persons with a little
ambition and energy can enter now
and soon be among the leaders. We
invite nominations from all sections
of the surrounding territory and
those persons who wish to share in
the distribution of these valuable
prizes should send for the supplies
and instructions and get busy at
once.
Although The Advocate has APP
propriated large sum for prem
iums and will present without one
cent of cost more valuable awards
and more Of them than were ever
before offered in any gift enterprise
in this section, thus far very few
persons have signifed their inten-
fion of sharing in the big gift dis
tribution by sending for the sup
plies and really getting busy. The
Advocate is a good loser and will
give away every prize just exactly
as announced, regardless of the
success of the campaign, but it
( seems that from good practical
business sense more hustlers would
want to take advantage of this phe-
nomenal offer.
In most enterprises in q business
line, it is necessary to make a con-
siderable investment to earn sever
al hundred dollars in a few weeks
time-yet in this big campaign a
person can earn that sum without
the expenditure or investment OF
one cent. 1t is not necessary to de-
vote all of ones time to the winning
either-it is campaign of spare
moments among friends and ac-
quaintances that can be reached
personally or. by letter and tele-
phone. It's fine, interesting, fasci-
mating fun after you get into it and
will pay you more than anything in
this vicinity you can do in the next
few weeks. All the prizes are val
liable ones and when it is consider
ed that every active candidate Is

TALKER HELD
E. S. Fishback, Charged With Max
inc Seditious Utterances Held
To Answer Charge.

United States Commissioner w.
Hoffman Wood, after hearing the
evidence against f. S. Fishback, Of
East Orange, n. j., but who is n
travelling salesman for a wholesale
jewelry firm of Cleveland, o., held
the man Over to answer the charges
in Federal Court at Catlettsburg. 1t
seems that Fishback while on the G..
& o. train in the presence of Il num-
Der of witnesses made the remark
that the President was a "Mutt
Head" that the "United States
started things but it took Germany
to finish them," that "our soldiers
were not being treated right" that
"Germans were the only people who
had sense enough to make good
dyes" that "the United States gov
eminent is all wrong" that "the
Red Cross campaign was being
conducted like hippodrome or
vaudeville performance" in other
words his remarks are alleged to
have constituted German propagan-
da pure and simple and were so
held to be by Commissioner Wood.
The evidence against Fishback
was given by a Mr. Robards, of
Louisville; VIM, Grant, a travelling
man and also a prominent oil man
of Lexington. Fishback took the
stand in his own behalf and practi-
cally denied saying any of the
things he was charged with and
showed a receipt for Liberty Bonds
and said he had made a contribu-
ton to the Red Cross. lie was rep
resented by Attorney John A. Judy
and the government by Attorney ii.
r. Prewitt. Bond was fixed at
$4,000, which was furnished by Mr..
L. f. Griggs, of this city. Fishback
was to appear in the L. S. Court at
Catlettsburg yesterday. We tele-
gaphed District Attorney Thomas
Slatte4y' this morning asking what
had been done in the case but up to
tie time Of our going to press had
received no reply to our inquiry.
1t is time that such talking be
stopped. Every man that is not
with us heart and soul in our war
for right is against us, and should
be interned and if his talk is too
strong he should be made to face a
firing squad. There is no middle
ground, you are either for Uncle
Sam or against him, and VI you are
against him then. you are not fit to
live in this great land OF ours, All
loyal Americans should watch care
fully for pro-German propaganda
and whenever anyone is heard
spreading it he should be reported
and prosecuted to the full extent of
the law. We are in this war to win
and we will win in spite of the pac-
fists and German propagandists,
because our cause is inst.

Fish Stories OutOfDate
But Here's n Hen Story

which puts them in almost the prize
winning class. Mr.. McMurray uses the
longer day lighting system by turning
on the electric lights in his hen houses
about $50 in the evening and leaving
them ON until about 8 o'clock. When
the lights are turned on the chicks are
fed. which keeps them up several
hours longer than otherwise. How
ever, he does not give this system the
entire credit for the laying record OF
his hens, but thinks the feeding and
care given has done its share toward
producing high grade layers.
\ The cost of keeping the flock, includ-
ing the electricity used in lighting the
houses, feeding, straw for scratching,
etc, he says, averages So month.
The eggs produced last month at mar
ket prices are valued at $9.1O. aside
from the satisfaction gained from the
experience and the Joy OF having
'home grown" eggs. s,'s
The real prize winning hen with q
blue ribbon has record OF laying 326
eggs In year and a chicken laying
200 eggs year is regarded as really
good production, so Mr. McMurray Is
Justly proud Of his little flock and its
egg laying record.
