OLD GLORY AND IT'S SIGNIFI
CANOE

At the outbreak of the Revolutions
airy War, the Colonies, stauch in the
belief that furtherance oR their i'm
dependence on the principles of the
Mother Country would incapasitate
their love of truth, resolved them
selves into Unity which found ex-
preston in the issue of blood-shed,
and in the adoption of the present
standard of rightf typifed by our
flag-the Red, the White and the Blue.
After the discouragements of &c Geo.
Washington seeing the necessity of
intoxicating in the minds of the colon
lists stronger sense of duty, jour
neyed to Philadelphia, submitted his
ideas to Mrs. Betsey Ross who quickly
and deity put them into execution
With this emblem of Truth which
newly inspired his countrymen with a
courage which knew no defeat the
war was more speedily brought to a
close.
Other countries realizing and eager
to grasp the good evolving from its
qualities, have adopted in spirit,
though in lesser degree, the princi-
pies for which it stands
Today in a foreign land "The Stars
and Stripes" in bold defiance of wrong
will be largely instrumental in again
instilling into the minds of the peo-
pies of the world love of courage
typifed in the Red; of strength and a
strict adherence to honor in the White
and a Ecener sense OF justice in the
Blue.

BUSINESS men
AID Big drive
FOR WORKERS
Commerce BODIES to Help in Peace
Withdrawal of Mechanics For
War Manufacturing.

Through its clearance section and
the Public Service Reserve. the en-
ployment service is tackling the pro-
blem of supplying more machinists
and toolmakers to war industries.
A special drive for skilled mechan-
les is now being made by the reserve
through its organization in-each state.
This includes the withdrawal of ma
chinists from nOn-essential enter
prises in manner which will equal
ize and minimize. any necessary hard
ship to such industries and commmi-
ties in which non essential manufac-
turing is conducted on large scale.
The assistance of commercial or
Grafton of non-essential manufactur-
ers' themselves are being enlisted to
this end. BY localizing far as pos
sible this induction process the maxi
mum of speed and fairness can be
achieved, and at the same time the
aid of the business, employing, and
labor interests of each community
may be utilized in the most effective
manner. Groups of prominent bust
ness men already are considering this
problem in Rochester, Hartford, De-
troit. and other cities.
A number of large Hiapufacturing
concerns with war orders are taking
time by the forelock and training
skilled mechanics. Plumbers, gasfit-
tiers, and similar trades frequently
may be speedily trained as machine
surplus in many of these trades the
training of such men would not only
increase the supply of mechanics, but
give employment to many building
| trades workers and help to adjust
the serious unemployment conditions
now existing in that division of skill
ed workers.
One large manufacturing establish
ment has written the clearance sec
tion as follows:
I'VE have long ago determined that
the market does not offer skilled me-
chanics for employment who are not
already engaged on government work
and we therefore are training men
in the operations weNhave to perform
in building the apparatus we have on
order for the Shipping Board and the
Navy Department
1--WE would be glad to have intelli'
gent and physically fit men. even
though mskilled, apply to use for en-
ployment. We can take care of a
reasonable number of such men
through our training department and
advance them rapidly through oul
instruction to a reasonable productive
Heapacity and an advance in rates tc
them"

SOAP FROM FAT SCRAPS

Economy is developed to its fullest
extent by the armies in France and
Flanders. In connection with the
commissariat is a department for the
elimination of waste and each soldier
except in the very front trenches,
where it would be impossible, is COM
PEELED to scrape his plate for the pur-
pose, This refuse is gathered up and
collected at certain points behind the
lines, where it is sorted and put to
various uses, not the least important
of which is the soap used by the
Army and Navy
The art of soap making, which a
hundred. years ago was known to al
most every household, has never quite
died out and should profitably be re-
vived at the present time where there
are no facilities for gathering waste
fats that may be turned into soap
on a commercial basis. Directions for
soap making are given with the vari-
Gus brands of I've upon the market.

TIME FOR WORTHLESS DOG
TO GO

Fifteen years ago, where l live,
nearly every farm had its flock of
sheep. Today there are only four
farms where shee are raised. There
is plenty of land producing nothing
where goodsized flock of sheep
could be thriving. The reason is most
ly dogs.
We have in the country today many
thousands of worthless dogs that are
doing nothing but eating and destroy
ing things. The cause of so many
worthless dogs is that there are so
many men keeping dogs who are not
able to keep them and who don't
need them. | have seen tenant farm
ers with six to ten children who kept
four or five dogs. They hardly ever
do them till May or June. They had
to make crop and work for what
they ate and wait from then till some
thing was raised. They kent and fed,
or tried to feed, these dogs instead of
feeding a hog or some chickens.
These four farmers whom l spoke
of who keep sheep have taken the
situation into their own hands. They
warned the neighbors that every stray
| dog found on. their premises would be
killed. They had to kill a few to let
the people know that they meant what
they said. Some of the neighbors told
them if they caught their dogs on
their farm by themselves they would
! kill them. Those who didn't want
their dogs killed kept them tied, and
the result is that there is hardly ever
raid. Then it is done by some dog
that lives two or three miles away.
What we need is a tav of ten dol
| lars on each dog. This would cause
all of the worthless dogs to be kill
cd and done away with. like a good
dog as well as any man, but | hate a
dog as much as any man could who
is all the time gone from home killing
sheep, sucking eggs, breaking into
smokehouses, or something else. 1t is
getting time for people to wake up
and swat the worthless dog. If man
needs a dog and is able to keep one,
let him get one that is worth-some-
a.. thing. If he doesn't earn ten dollars
and his board in year, you had bet
ter do away with him at once.

Not Entirely Raised.

Mrs. Martha F. Falconer, head of
the Slaton Farm of Pennsylvania and
representative of the War Depart
ment, spent the early part of the
week in Louisville and Frankfort,
comforting with Governor Stanley and
members of the Commission on the
Kentucky trainin farm for delin-
quent girls as to possible sites for the
farm. 1t is though Mrs. Falconer's
recommendation that the Federal
Government will duplicate the 100000
raised by the State for the farm.
eve have visited several locations"
said Mrs. Falconer yesterday, "but
we have not made decision as yet.
1t is our object to find a place on
which there are buildings that we
can use. as soon as sleeping porches
| have been added and other necessary
improvements have been made. Be
| cause of the immediate need of the
building, we are eager TO find a place
| lnat can ne USeu promptly.
Mrs. Falconer stated that girls old
err than eighteen will not be sent to
the farm. Other legislation is needed
! to secure suitable place of deten-
ton for women older than eighteen.
at is not wise to hold in the same
institution women and girls, Just as it
is not wise to confine boys and men
| in the same place. | would never
recommend that the Governments
money be put into an institution in
which both women and girls were to
be trained"
Attention was called by Mrs. Fal-
coner TO the fact that the full 100000
necessary for the farm has not been
pledged.
Kentucky women and men have
done a fine piece of work in raising
the money that has been raised, but
the entire sum has not been pledged.
Louisville has given 100000, or will
do so, but the State has so far only
pledged $4,000 think that the ma
iGrity of people are under the inn
preston that the full 100000 has been
accounted for. This is not the case
The Government will duplicate what
ever money is given. but will not add
more. believe that 100000 will be
needed to provide the right kind OF
farm for delinquent girls in this

Dog Kills Chickens

A big hound with a chain on his

terey chicken house and minor los
ses of Others. 1t was on Tuesday
night, while the elements were in
angry mood, and at the home of
Mrs. M. K. Fleisher, where the
most serious raid occurred. Nothing
was known of the dogs visit until
Wednesday morning when the
mangled remains of IA fat hens
were found in and around the
chicken-house. The dog was easily
tracked, and had made his en-
trance through a small opening in
the coop. At c M Lunsford's the
dog was heard and put to fight be-
fore he had done much damage,
one hen being q victim. Just
across the street DR.. Fox lost Que
hen and chick,
The whole affair savors of a mad
freak, and just why the dog pro-
ceeded to mangle and not eat is a
mystery
The intruder was identified by
DR. Fox as a hound, and the chain
about his neck would indicate that
he bad bro>s1 away from home
moorings ana WAS having a night
of it.
1t goes without saying that, II
he can be identified as 10 owner
ship, he will face a firing squad at
or before sun-up.

KRAMER sad but loving remem-
brance of our dear sister, Minnie Bry-
ant Kramer who departed this life one
year ago, July 10, 1917
Just one year ago you left us
How we miss your loving face;
But you left us to remember
None on earth can fill your place
We did not know the pain you bore,
And did not see you die;
We only know you went away,
And never said goodbye.
Like lovely flower you faded
You were young to droop and die,
But the Saviour calls His loved ones
To their bright home there on high.
The flowers we place upon your grave
viii wither and decay,
But the love for you who sleeps be-
meath
Shall never fade away.
In the graveyard softly sleeping,
Where the flowers gently wave:
And the birds above are singing
Lies dear Minnie in her grave.
We grieve for you when all is still,
May God with you abide:
Our hearts are filed with vain regrets,
AS on the day yor died.
But again we hope to meet you,
When the days of life have fed,
And in heaven with JOY to greet you
Where no farewell tears are shed.
