The Germania Fire Insurance

THE Germania Fire Insurance
Co., one Of the oldest fire insur-
ance companies in America, will
hereafter be known as t''e Nat
ional Liberty Insurance %. The
change was u d to cor ct the
impression that the company was
of German origin or German af-
fliations. The loyal American,
whether it be an individ ual, COM
pany or what not. does not want
any thing that looks. tastes,
sounds, feels or smells German.

RAZORBACK IS STACKER

"The old Arkansas 'razOrback'
is typical of the grade pig. 1t
developed a large head and long
legs, while the frame of the body,
the place where the true money
value meat should have been
placed by fattening processes was,
a mere bony skeleton.
Yet that almost worthless beast
will eat as much corn as the finest
Berkshire, Poland China or Du,
roc Jersey. It's fatal defect is
that it gives very little in return.

H. w. GOssard of Chicago says

H. w. GOssard of Chicago says:
Farmers will never realize the
fullest measure of efficiency u =
til they have started raising pure
bred stock.
The grade or scrub hog, like
the mongrel dog and the poorly
bred horse. have not single val
id reason for existence.
Gossard is president of the
Gossard Corset Company, but
has extensive hog ranches and
devotes as much time To his
hogs as to his business. He is
the owner of the famous $50 Goo
Berkshire boar "Epochal." type
Of the thoroughbred hog.
"A grade hog or a grade COW
will eat as much as a pure-bred
specimen" says Gossard. 1.-The
Texas steer. quite literally a
rack of bones and a hank OF
hair, consumes just as much
provender as a thoroughbred
Hereford. The disproportion in
the consequent weight and tinau,
cial returns OF the two varieties
of steers was so great that the
longhorn has gone the way OF
the buffalo.
81 eagerly await the day when
the same doom will visit the
grade hog.
PURE BRED RETURNS BIGGER
"The prime purpose of the
hog raising industry is to put
meat upon the nations dinner
table. The finer the quality o.
that meat and lower it's cost per
pound production the greatel
our economic benefit.
Against the raising of pure
bred hogs there can be voiced
but one single argument and
that by no means good ore. II
is true that the initial cost Of get
ting a thoroughbred herd under
way is greater than that of as
Semiling a grade herd. But
from the very beginning it pays
bigger returns. For instance,
there's my thoroughbred Berk
shire boar EpOchal.
That boar would cost the man
who wanted to purchase him a
whole lot Of. money. Within the
last two weeks l have sold three
young pigs sired by him foI
$4,000 apiece, and fourteen more
for 81, 900 apiece, making a grand
total of $4,000.

The War In Lexington

that make to US here in Lexing-
ton"
A question like this was asked
the other day by rather sensi
bic man.
Let US see what difference it
might make to US.
If Germany should defeat the
Allies, her first big achievement
would be to take possession of
British fleet of warshlps. BY
and by she would cross the At
lantic ocean and lombard New
York, Boston. Philadelphia and
other American seaboard cities
The capital of the Nation would
hurridly be removed from Wash
ingtOn to Denver or San Fran
cisco and Washington would IN
doubtedly fall into the hands of
the enemy, who by that time
would have a half million or more
/ of the pick of her veteran troops
OF this side of the Atlantic, with
others following fast.
Some eminent German, former
Ambassador BernstOrff probably,
would be made provisional Presi-
dent of the United States and
plans would be made for govern
ing the entire country.
A German officer, finally,
would be made Governor of Ken
lucky and he would make men of
his own choice mayors of Louis
vile, Lexington, and other cities
of any size.
With Lexington under German
military rule, the first demand
would be for a cash contribution
equal to the total sum on deposit
in all the Lexington banks, may
be more-say, some six or eight
million dollars.
The citizens of Lexington
would be gwen until sundow2
of the next day to produce the
money and if it Was lot forthcom
ing, Judge Kerr or Mayor Rog
ers, Doctor Coils or a half dozen
leading men of the community,
would he lined up on Cheapside
and shot.
The city would be patrolled by
German officers. The women of
the city would be insulted and
if their fathers. brothers, or hus
bands interfered, they would
be shot where they stood. ANY,
thing like organized resistance
would lead to wholesale kill
ing of men, women and children
Do you think it is exaggerated
or Overdrawn The Commander
in Chief of the German army in
Belgium posted proclamation
declaring
1.-The villages where acts of
hostility shall be committed by
the inhabitants against our troops
will be burned.
For all destruction of roads.
railways, bridges, etc, the vii
lagos in the neighborhood of the
destruction will be held respor-
sible.
The punishments announced
above will be carried out severe
ly and without mercy. The whole
community will be held respon-
sible. Hostages will be taken in
large numbers. The heaviest
war taxes will be levied"
If the foregoing doesn't satisfy
ones curiosity, something a lit
tie more definite might be cited.
Minister Whitlock, making a
report to the government at
Washington under date of Sep
TENDER II, 1917, goes on to say:
Summary executions took
place(at Diant) without the least
semblance of judgment. The
names and mum Der of the victims
are not known, but they must be
numerous
Among the persons who were
shot are: Mr.. Defoin, mayor of
Dinant; Sasserath, first alderman;
Nimmer, aged 70; consul for
the Argentine bile, Victor
Poncelet. who was executed in
the presence of his wife and
seven children; Wasseige and
his two sons; Messrs. Gustave
and Leon Nicaise, two very old
men; Jules Monin and others
were shot in the cellars of their
