telligence officer, ito remember that
the soldiers are here to be thorough
ly trained in the science and art of
war. They like to have their rela-
tives and friends to come to see them
and this will be encouraged, but such
visitors must not try to keep the
men away from their duties
Automobiles Admitted.
This means that If any one wishes
to drive through the camp on sight
seeing tour or even to see the soldiers
and talk with them, he may do so
without going to the Inconvenience
gence officer before starting for camp.
Large numbers of persons who had
no passes and who came from distant
states. not knowing the regulations.
were turned away in the past with
out seeing their friends.
1t is important that visitors conduct
themselves as far as possible when
here in. the same manner as they
would in the best regulated homes.
The authorities are merely trying out
the new plan. and if the military
training is impeded by the change
the practice will be stopped and the
old rule of allowing visitors only on
Saturday and Sunday will be en-
forced

ELEVENTH HOUR WEDDING.

A right up to the waters edge we'd
ding took place at the court house
here late Tuesday afternoon. Archie
Maddox, of Rockport, and Miss Rosa
Ellen WOODBURY., of Echols, had for
a long time been sweethearts. Uncle
Sam needed Archies services in
France and ordered him to answer
ready for service here Tuesday. He
brought the young lady along, and
the holy bonds of wedlock were weld
ed. Wednesday morning Young Mad
dox started upon the journey, the
end of which may be death, but he
went with the consoling memory that
the dearest woman on earth to him
was his by the laws of God and man.
May the ocean waves be calm and
the German bullets fly astray, and
He who doeth all things well return
in safety the devoted groom to the
open arms of the waiting bride when
the deluge of death is over. The
young couple went to the home of
the bride where they spent the night.

will use a much smaller number of
deputies than has been used by his
predecessors. He will appoint only
three, or possibly four, deputies, and
will select only experienced men, who
have demonstrated their fitness for
the work. The smaller number of
deputies is made possible by the long
time in which the tax commissioner
is given to do the work. The assess
ment will begin this year July /, in
stead of Sept, as formerly. The
county tax commissioners will hold a
state meeting in Frankfort June 25,
and continue three days. Commits
sioner Ward will attend the meeting.
The county will pay one half the ex-
penses and the state the remaining
half, of the commissioners trip to
the state meening.

THE NEW TAX RATE.

We have learned there Is much con-
fusion in the minds of the people in
regard to the new tax rate and class
ificatioI. Many changes were made
by the new law, but as a whole
II will not increase the total tax of
agricultural counties. The old rate
was so cents on the hundred dollars
for county, so cents for state, Is
cents for school and cents for road
purposes. Under the new law the
rate is so cents for county, 40 for
state, Is cents for school purposes.
The road tax Is eliminated But
there has been a Encouragement of
classification for taxing purposes.
The new law provides that all prop
erty subject to taxation for state pur-
poses shall be subject to taxation by
county or other taxing divisions ex-
cept: Farm implements and farm ma
chinery actually owned by persons
engaged in farming; manufacturing
machinery and products in course of
manufacture of persons, firms or cor
porations actually engaged in manu-
featuring, money in hand, notes,
bonds. accounts and credits, whether
secured or unsecured, is subject to
taxation for State purposes only. and
at q rate of ten cents on the hundred
dollars.
Live stock is taxed by the state at
10 cents on the hundred dollars, but
may be taxed for local purposes at the
regular rate for taxation of other
property.
On all other classes of property the
rate is, county SO cents, state 40 cents
and schools Is. making the total tax
rate on these classes of, property
S1.05.

WAR HITS HERALD.

The world war has played havoc
with the editorial service of the
Hartford Herald. Mr.. Coombs, the
editor, was requisitioned by Uncle
Sam to serve as chief clerk of the
local exemption board. Mr.. Lyman
Barrett, bright young man, of Bar
retts Ferry, next took chrage of the
editorial desk at the Herald Office.
After a few weeks Of very promising
service Mr.. Barrett was caught in
the draft drag net. and sent to Camp
Taylor. For a week or two the
Herald ran editorless except for the
odd moments Mr.. Coombs could
snatch from his duties on the exemp-
tion board. Finally Rev. Walter
Creep, of Horse Branch, another new
editor, was installed in the Herald
office. But about the time Editor
Creep had learned the difference be-
tween local and an ad he decided
to anticipate draft service by volun-
teering for the marine service. Who's
next?

FOOD SALE REGULATION.

The Food Administrator rules is
sued recently to govern the sale OF
food products seem not to be clearly
understood in some communities. In
lorder to advise our readers what their
rights were and to avoid their being
annoyed by exacting local admins
traitors, who do not clearly under
stand their duties, we wrote State
Food Administrator Sackett, and
called up County Food Administrator
James, of Cromwell. With the adj
vice of these officials we are able
to offer our readers a concise state
ment of these regulations.
Restriction of sale is placed on on
ly -four and sugar. The rule for the
sale of -four is six pounds per month
for each person. This allowance ap-
plies to each member of the family,
to regular boarders and to work
hands. The rule for the sale of -four
to persons living in town is "a
pounds, and to persons living in
rural communities As pounds. There
is no order requiring the miller or
merchant to sell flour in less than
twenty-four pound sacks, though
there should be only two members in
the family. The rule is a common
sense one, with the intention to limit
the use of -four to six pounds to the
person per month. Those having
more than thirty days supply of -four
on hand are required to return it to
the mill or store. This does not
mean the return of few pounds, but
of sack or more.
The regulations governing the sale
of sugar make an allowance of three
quarters of pound per week for the
individual, or six pounds a month.
The merchant may sell to the GUS
toner in town only five pounds at
one time and ten pounds to the coun-
try customer. Provided, however,
that during the preserving season a
person may buy twenty-five pounds
at one time, upon signing certifi-
cate of the purpose for which it is
to be used. These statements are
based upon information from the
state and county administrators, and
the people may insist upon service &C

the land so sold to be bid in by the
sheriff in the name of the county
and state, and the result was the
taxes were never paid. Mr.. Gray is
making a list of land sold in this
manner for the past seven or eight
years, and after advertising the sale
will resell it, and under the new
tax law can make the purchaser a
deed to the property. There will be
several hundred tracts of Ohio coun-
ty' land sold by the revenue agent,
at an early date. Those whose land
has heretofore been sold for taxes,
and who have not subsequently paid
the tax. should come in at once and
settle with the revenue agent while
he is here, or later with the sheriff.

ON MANY CHARGES.

Eldred Lee, fourteen years old
boy, son of Monroe Lee, of New Rem
der, was arrested Friday on a multi
tude of charges, among them that
of being a dangerous person, untitled
to run at large, stealing, carrying
away the property of another and etc.
When interviewed in Jail the boy
displayed a want of responsibility
that was remarkable. According to
his story his mother died when he
was small, and not getting along
agreeably with his step mother he
left home when he was twelve years
. old and has since padded his own
canoe without a very definite notion
of whittier he was drifting. He
frankly acknowledged that he had
not been very strongly addicated to
the work habit, and had not had a
regular roosting place. The boy
seems to be intelligent. and needs
only intelligent direction to make
him a good citizen. 1t is fortunate
that we have a law to take charge of
such neglected characters, and give
them an opportunity to develop into
useful men. The boy will probably
be tried in the Juvenile court and
sent to the Boys Reform school at
Greendale.

WRIT DAY IN COURT.

Tuesday was writ day in Judge
Cooks court. Two warrants were
issued for Jim Taylor, of Beaver
Dam, charging him with selling
liquor in prohibition territory. Only
few days ago Taylor was fined 500
and ten days in Jail on charge OF
having liquor in his possession for the
purpose of sale.
A warrant was issued for Doss
Jackson, Ed Jackson and Lee Bull
lock, charging each of them with
breach of the peace. Doss Jack
son, it is reported, is at Camp Tay-
lor, and will hardly be reached with
process. Just now is the worst time
a fellow could pick for violating the
law. There are mighty few acquit-
tails in the criminal courts.

IN HEAP o. TROUBLE.

Enos Lawrence, a Hartford col
ored man, is having a heap of trou-
BILE, and it all comes about through
his love for gun toting He is above
draft age, but should volunteer for
army service where he could get gun
love gratified.
Marshall Stevens, of Beaver Dam,
attempted to arrest Enos in that town
some time ago, but he jerked the
pistol from the marshall's hand, and
according to evidence offered in
court, whipped out his own gun and
ran away with both guns. He was
given $50 and ten days in Jail for
that offense. On another occasion,
recently, Enos was caught with gun
on his person while in Owensboro,
and was indicted for the offense.
While in Jail, serving the sentence
given him by the Ohio county court,
Sheriff Bratcher took him over to
Greensboro, where he was given an
other $50 fine and a ten day Jail
sentence. Sheriff Brstcher brought
the negro back to Hartford Monday
night to finish serving his sentence
here, after which he will be deliver
ed up to the Jailer of Daviess county.
The Daviess circuit court also dis
franchised Enos for period of two
years.

Win Memorable Battle For
Mercy Fund For
Soldiers. &

The Red Cross drive to raise 81
600 in Ohio county ended Monday
night in blaze of glory. The mercy
call from suffering Europe met with
a double measure of generosity, and
more than $4,000 dollars was raised
I by the good citizens of the county. It
is splendid story of duty done to go
to the national headquarters of the
American Red Cross, and the just
pride of Ohio county people is pleas

there are honors enough to go
around. The mining towns did
nobly; raising above one half of the
entire sum. The mining territory

tributed between $4,000 and $1,000.
The miners either contributed days
wage and the operators a days out

and the operators gave like amount
for each man in their employe. Es-
pecial mention is due the small pre-
cinct of Coolsprings,w which gave 1904.
so. Lonard Randle, who is connect
ed with the kindly Coal Company
