BOYS TO TAKE PART IN WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN

The boys of Kentucky are to be
given prominence in the great Ma
tional United War Work Campaign
to be conducted the week of Novem-
Der 18th, to raise s175,500,000 for
welfare work in the American Army
and Navy the coming year.
Their quota is now being consid-
cred and will be announced shortly.
Suffice it to say that the figure will
be one marking a goal to which the
boys of the State may well devote
their best energies.
When the big Brothers" of the
army at the front see the great work
being done for them by the Little
Brothers" of the army at home, they
will realize that the boys of Ken
lucky at home and abroad are all on
the firing lines.
The Boys Campaign will be mark
ed by an enthusiasm seldom wit
messed in the State. Detailed plans
were considered at conference held
in connection with the State Cam
paign at the Seelbach Hotel in Lou
isville, Friday, attended by represen-
tatives from all parts of the State.

Money is the cheapest thing in
America to-day.
1t takes more money right now
than in the last twenty years to
buy most of the things that make for
comfort and convenience in life.
Your cost of living has more than
doubled in the last four years. Prices
of nearly any article you may name
have increased anywhere from so to
200 per cent. In many instances
they have jumped 500 per cent.
Your dollar to-day is worth CORES
pondingly less than it was at the be-
ginning of the world war.
This is an all-important considera-
ton in the purchase of a Liberty
Bond.
For your bond, bought to-day with
a dollar worth less than fifty cents,
will be redeemable in dollars worth
approximately their face value.
Present conditions will not con-
tinue forever. Values will eventually
right themselves.
And the bond holder will be the
winner.
1t is good business to buy a staple
article when it is cheap and sell it
when the price goes up. Most for
tunes have been made in that way.
And, in effect, that is what you
are doing when you buy 800 bond
with dollars worth less than fifty
cents each.
1t has been a long time since the
average farmer could buy govern
ment bond for the price of an acre
of wheat, or the average workman
with his earnings for ten days work.
But it's possible now.
And the wise fellow will do it.

McCOMBS OIL COMPANY TO RE-
FINE ON LARGE SCALE

The success which has marked the
progress of the McCombs Oil Com
pany in the producing branch of the
oil business has warranted the man
agement in entering the refining field
of the oil industry on large scale.
There were many reasons that infiu
enced the board of directors in arriv-
ing at decision to enter this partic-
ular branch of business, among them
being the conceded large profits of
the refining business, the stabilize
ton of the company's earnings and
the lack of competition from other
firms in the Kentucky field.
In order properly to carry on the
refining business the company pur-
chased from the Consolidated Oil
Refining Company their plant No. 2,
at East st. Louis, ILL.,, which is stu
ated in the heart of the rich manu-
featuring district of East st. Louis,
about one-half mile from the Mississ-
ippt River. With the plant proper
was acquired two acres of ground
located between the factory and the
National Chemical Company and the
Indiahoma Refining Company.
The management plans to put the
refinery in immediate operation. AS
the plant stands it is ready for the
crude oil, even to having a supply of
coal on hand for the boilers. To make
available the crude oil that the COM
pany is producing from its properties
in Wolfe County it is only needed to
lay a three-inch pipe line a distance
of three miles to the main line of
the Louisville and Nashville Rail-
road at Torrent, Ky. 1t will not be
necessary to install any pumps as the
oil will flow by gravity from the
Adams and Spencer leases to a tor
age tank that will be located at the
loading track on the railroad siding.
Work of laying this line will be-
gin Immediately and will in all prob
ability be completed in thirty days.
No delay will be occasioned by lack
of facilities for transportation of the
oil to the refinery as the thirty new
tank cars that have been purchased
are already constructed and about
ready for delivery. The present plan
for operation of the plant will be be-
gun Immediately and pushed as rap
idly as possible to completion.

EDITORIAL MUSINGS.
Public and Private Bookkeeping.

Just what the Government will do
with the telephone companies now
that they have acquired public con-
troll, has not developed. The Satur-
day Evening Post comments that the
recent act of Congress which put
them under government operation
was a snap judgment taken under
the exigencies of war" The Post is
in doubt as to whether the public ad-
ministration can achieve the good
faith" which requires the Govern
ment to manage them without preju-
dice to the plan Of private owner
ship and operation-to which they
should be restored the moment the
war ends" Such result will have
to pay due respect to systems of ac-
counting. We now find that the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company is running a business in
which they extend credit to millions
of citizens, and the results are high
ly satisfactory. Whether the Post
Office Department that does strictly
cash business and never is able to
give more than a general guess as
to the cost of operation, profit or
loss, i'm any region of the country,
will be able to make material changes
in telephone operation throughout
the nation, and at the same time tell
definitely, as has been done under
private ownership, just what the bal
ance sheet shows in. every unit of
operation, remains to be seen.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
SION prescribes explicit methods of
accounting for the railroads and
other Institutions coming under its
direction. Whether the Government
will be able to keep books that will
show every detail of operation in as
clear a manner as has been done un-
der private control, while it is
s'scrambling' and unscrambling
railroads and wire lines" is bound to
become an interesting feature OF
forthcoming developments.

similar means to stimulate circula-
ton, that no holiday, industrial, or

Giving New Employe a Welcome.

When you go into a country or a
strange place you are grateful to the
man who extends to you the hand of
fellowship, to the one who makes you
feel at home.

we are increasing our force are we
afforded an opportunity of showing
new employees that we are interested
in them and that we are anxious for
them to be satisfied. A little effort on
your part can make the newcomers
feel at home and will show them the
feeling of cooperation you have
helped to build up. You can do more
in FIVE, minutes to establish the right
spirit while their impressions are
forming than you can in many days
after they have formed their opin-
ions of you and your company.
In case the newcomers are for
eigners, there is even greater obliga-
ton 70 treat them as guests, and
make them feel welcome.
II Is the privilege of every Ameri-
can at this time to make the stran-
gers from other lands feel that we
appreciate their help in winning this
war.
Treat them with the same cour-
tesy and kindness that you would de-
sire IL you were stranger in for
eign country.
Your personal contact with for
eign workers can help to unite all
race liz America to win this war.

CHEVROLET OWNERS ARE URGED ID TRY
 USING O|ST|LLATE

In view of the contemplated tax of two cents a gallon, as well as it's nor mally higher price. owners of Chevro- let cars are being urged by dealers throughout the west to at least give distillate trial, says Bert O. Brown, local dealer. In every instance where the cheaper fuel has been substituted good results have been obtained, and those making the experiments have been more than pleased at the saving in actual cash, while at the same time getting the same power and cXperienc- ing but little difficulty in motor start ing.
 Most of the Chevrolet owners who have given distillate a trial have done so without making any changes in their cars. No special manifolds or differ ent jets have been employed. How ever. it may be that with the advent of colder weather priming will in some cases be necessary, but so far this has not been the case.
 Del De NauX. head of the firm which distributes the Chevrolet line in Fresno county, was the first of the big dealers on the Pacific coast to make his an all distillate organization. At the start of the summer De NauX Initiated the practice of having all his demonstra- tors and service cars filled with cheap CT fuel, and in no instance has he had the slightest carburetor or starting trouble.
 Following De Vauxs lead. A. H. Hooker, the Turlock Chevrolet dealer has formed the distillate habit. with equally pleasing results. Hooker in stalled a smaller jet in his carburetor at the cost of half an hours labor and on his first trip ran 210 miles on an even seven gallons of the fuel, an aver age of just 30 miles to the gallon. Close behind him for good mileage average on distillate was F. Mitchell of Winton, California, who travelled 2S7 miles on ten gallons of the liquid with out making single change in his car.
 Reports from the northwest also in dicate that distillate can successfully be used without resorting to any changes in the stock Chevrolet. Walter Hampden, in his report of round trip from Seattle to Spokane, declares he averaged better than 26 miles to the gallon on the run. and that in ordinary

Good appearance is one of the things which an owner insists upon and which surprisingly. is easy to obtain For the standard make there are any number of special bodies to be had at small cost. A painting job helps a lot. Up- holstering and top can be repaired at small cost and the few little things about the dash the rusty instruments, scratched coWl, etc, can easily be put in first class shape.
 In the present circumstances We must all remember that there is going to be a greater or less shortage of cars dur ing the rest of the war. Yet the car is part of the efficiency of America and no inconsidera ble a factor at that. Therefore. it is up to every one of us to keep our old boats moving and help

because so many troubles are evident that only careful going over each and every part with perhaps lot of repairing and replacing will again fit them for service. In these war times, it is worth going to lot of trouble to keep such an efficient transportation medium in service. End play in the crankshaft and camshaft may be due to the bearing wear and not to the shafts; noisy valves may be done to wear in small part of the valve gear. Some of the valves may need replace ment, but not all of them.
