Dor, especially. We can't win the war
without it. The husky, able-bodied
man who is not engaged in useful
occupation and not anxious to be so
engaged at such time, is a Stacker
of the most contemplate type,
See that men who are doing an
honest, and in peace time, perfectly
unobjectionable work, but work that
is utterly inconsequential from a war
standpoint, and work that can readily
be done by women, see that all such
men go to work on farms if the farm
ers need them. 1t is inexcusable for
a strong man in your town to be doing
work of war worthlessness while
farmer a few miles away has crops
going to waste for lack of help.
And the town man and the farmer
alike must appreciate the superla-
tive Importance of this to him, per
sonally. If we don't win the war it
means to you and to your loved ones
hardships and suffering and perhaps
some very terrible experiences And
we can't win unless evry PRISON in
the Republic is actually on the
job helping to bring about victory
Until you get that conception, our
talk of victory is mere bluff and
buster. There is a farm-labor problem
in this county. What are you going to
do about it?

Within the past week a number OF
our most prominent farmers and
stock men have purchased and
brought into this County a number
of registered Angus cattle. These
cattle will form a nucleus for herds
which these gentlemen will establish,
and will be Of great benefit to the
cattle industry of Central Kentucky.
The Monmoth Review. Monmoth ILL.,,

whom we are justly proud, made a
most excellent patriotic address,

have suffered, he said. the United
States as yet has scarcely been
touched; our financial resources are
unlimited almost and will be used, il
necessary to the last dollar, to win
the war in which we are now en-
gagged.
What he said about the pro-Ger-
man in this country, was a plenty,
nor did he mince any words. His
address was by far the best we have
heard here since the war began. Rev.
II. s. Hudson gave a summary Of the
fine web done by the ladies of the
Garrard county chapter and told Of
the large and heavy orders yet to be
filed by Sept. LIST.

Altogether il was an evening to be
remembered and to be proud of, and

sale the greatest and most remark
able that has yet been held.
