Building Herd Of Holsteins.

Charlie Welch received a pair of
nice Holstein calves Friday. One
male calf and one heifer. They are
pedigreed stock, and cost 500.
One of them is but two weeks old
while the other is but few months
old. Mr.. Welch has two yearling
Holsteins. He is building up herd
of these fine dairy cattle. He, like
everyone else in the county that
has been shipping cream, has found
that it pays better than any other
kind of farming. The skim milk
makes pigs grow to fill the purse
ON one side while the cream attends
to the other side.

Decrease in School Census.

The city school census recently
taken shows 206 pupils of school
age between 6 and Is years. This
is slight falling off from the last
taking, but it is caused by the age
limit being taken from 20 to Is.
A further reduction is caused by the
closing of the Orphans Home which
two years ago had 81 children of
school age. The reduction in the
number of scholars does not signify
that there will be any decrease in
the total amount of money received
from the state school fund, as what
ever reduction made in number Of
pupils will be made up in the per
capita increase made possible by
this reduction over the whole state.

Above the Average.

Kentucky farmers now have a
prospect for 1881 900 bushels of
wheat this year, compared to
5000, 900 bushels last year, unless
bad weather or crop pests should
seriously interfere, according to re-
port of u. S. Department of Agri-
culture. Wheat now looks fine
throughout the state, and farmers
report a condition of 1910 on the
bases Of 1000 representing what
they would have expected under
reasonably favorable conditions
The condition May /, 1917 was
69@o.
There are 933, 900 acres Of wheat
in Kentucky this spring, after al
lowing go off for abandonment.
Last year 10000 acres remained
for harvest in this state after 1870
Of the crop had to be abandoned.

Work on the Clark county line
road will begin Monday. AS many
teams have been engaged as can be
used at the beginning. More will
be added as room can be made for
them. The whole construction
work will be in the hands Of Powell
county people. 1t is the aim of the
builders to let this road, when COM
pleted, stand out as a mark of cred
it to home talent, as it is their aim
to employ altogether home people.
They can do the work, and why not
let them? Ii this is done, when
the road is completed, we will not
only have the road, but the money
it cost to build it, and the state
will pay three-fourths of the cost.
Could we want a better thing.

The fact that the editor is unable
to get proficient help on the Times,
and that we are unusually busy and
will be for the next three months,
must be taken into consideration
when there are any irregularities in
the appearance of the Times during
these weeks. We are going to do
our best to produce the best paper
possible and to build the best road
possible, and to do both at a price
the people of Powell can afford to
pay, and to see that you will not
have to wait as long for your paper
again as you have had to wait for
the road. Please bear with us and
be patient in this time of general
need, the publishers short coming,
and the crisis of the nation. We
will appreciate it and are sure you
will when fall comes and the Times
appears as the best paper in eastern
Kentucky, taking the facilities, at
our command, into consideration.

Curtailing New Machinery.

Nearly 1000 types and sizes Of
farm implements which have been
gradually developed by manufac-
turers during peacetime competi-
ton have been recommended for
elimination during the war by COM
mittees of the National Implement
and Vehicle Association. The OBJ
ject, according to a statement by
the Council of National Defense,
is to conserve materials, labor, cap
ital, and manufacturing facilities.

Extortion and profiteering In
wheat. flour substitutes is charged
by Fred NJ. Sackett, Federal Food
Administrator for Kentucky, in a
letter addressed to the County Food
Administrators. The sending OF
the letter marked the beginning of
a drive by the Keulucky Food Ad-
minstration to bring the price OF
corn meal, corn flour and barley
flour within reason. The substance
of Mr.. Sackett's letter is that pm
Ger mast be reduced, and that deal
ers who fail to do SO must be re-
ported forthwith to him for summa
ry action.
Wheat flour has been selling at
6 2-3 cents pound retail while
corn flour aud meal sell higher,
and Mr.. Sackett says they can be
sold for from 10 to 20per cent. less
than wheat flour.

C.-J. Finds Remedy.

Everyone knows what time all
publishers are having to get papers
to subscribers in other states and
foreign lands. This is probably
caused by the curtailment of mail
clerks at the same time Of an IN
crease of mail matter. At any rate
there is universal complaint
among subscribers about not being
able to get papers promptly, or not
at all.
The old reliable Courier-Journal,
to right these conditions so far as it
concerns that paper, has gone TO
sending the overseas edition of its
paper by first class mail. Costs
more, but then it is as safely han
died as letters and does not fail TO
get there.

For the benefit of some persons
who seem woefully distressed about
the road contracts recently award
ed in this county, the Times will
say that these persons can get a
like contract for the same price.
There are now eight more miles APP
proved for construction, and the
court is anxious to receive bids on
it. The contractors who bld in the
three miles offered to sublet the
work and further offered to give
500 to any one who would relieve
them. No one has yet offered to
do it.
Tools, cement, explosives and
every article of construction, costs
from two to four times as much as
one year ago. Labor and teams
are higher, yet the price for the
road is Just the same, and the coun-
ty will get back from the state
three-fourths the cost of construc-
ton.
Some are saying the bonds were
voted with a certain understanding
and etc. The bonds have not been
sold. The work contracted for will
be paid out of the tax money, and
the bond money will be spent later,
as we understand the aim of the
court, to build pike on the grades
now being made, and to be made
two ways from Stanton.
The schem of the Fiscal Court,
which seems clear to our minds, is
to build roads in the county to the
best benefit of the people, to do so
as cheaply as possible, and when
the bond money is spent to spend
it in conformity with the promise
made the tax payer when the bonds
were voted.

Red Cross Second Campaign
For War Relief Fund.

During the week beginning May ~
and ending May p the people of this
country will again be asked for contrib
utions for the support Of the work Of
the Ameri IAN Red Cross. This is the
week for the second campaign for War
Relief Funds. One year ago the Red
Cross organization asked the people of
America for one hundred million dol-
lars. They gave il, more than gave il,
and gave it willingly. But that one
hundred million could not always last.
With necessary gigantic outlays for re-
lief work theirfunds are exhausted and
they are compelled to come to us again
or drop their work.
One hundred millions every year
during war times for the Red Gross
may seem large sum. But is {? The
outlay of our Government this year for
war purposes is approximately ten bill
ions. AT this rate we arc asked TO con-
uibute for relief work and reconstruc-
tion through the Red Gross one dollar
for every one hundred dollar the Gov
ernment spends directly to prosecute
! the war
Powell county must do her part, and
she will do it. We have been asked to
contribute $1,000 as our share. To raise
our quota may require some sacrifi .e
but sacrifice is the spirit of America
just now. Powell county lifted $4,000
worth of Liberty Bonds during the last
campaign. The most unselfsh thing
that we can do is to give at least one
twentieth OF that amount to the Red
Cross for their relief work in this pres
ent war. 1t must be remembered too
that in the one hundred million dollar
campaign last year the local chapter
was not organized and Powell county
gave nothing. We ought to do double
duty this year. 80.
We are organizing the countysthat
workers may be in every .sectpns-lnd
evday home may be visited, Bo,not say
II cant" Suppose the boys in the
trenches said that. They are Offering
life. We are only asked to give our
money.
Put yourself in place of the boys at
the front. Put yourself in place of the
homeless in Belgium and in France.
Put yourself in place Of the starving
Americans, all which relief work the
Red Cross is doing and a great deal
more, and then 'do unto others as We
would that they should do to you"
This is not campaign for members
for the Red Cross. 1t is "A campaign for
funds. Everyone must contribute as
he is able. A few must give large sums,
great many must give medium
amounts and all must give something
to make the campaign success. Be
ready to give the canvasser a welcome
and the Red Cross boost when you
are called upon next week.
Very respectfully,
]. Kelly Giffen,
Powell County Mgr. Second
War Fund Campaign.
