The above figures represent the GER
tilted returns of deaths made officially
to the Vital Statistics Bureau of the
State Board of Health. AS will be seer
in the total deaths there were 1885 be-
tween the ages 20 and 60, the produc-
tive period of life. When it is realized
that these deaths represent the heads
of homes the best and most useful of
the community citizenry, all trades
and professions, or in the words of a
prominent insurance official, "The
most dependable risks" then do we
understand what an economic burden
this epidemic has assumed
From public health standpoint,
however, there has evolved one dis
tinct material gain-An evolution in
public sentiment toward the work of
disease prevention: Public spirited
citizens, public officials in large
measure, social and religious organi-
cations, all gave the most valuable as
sistance to Health and Red Cross
forces and in a way that was never
attempted before, and from this
united endeavor will be developed
new conscience and such a force for
common good that the further pro-
gress of health work will be enhanced
ten fold.
Already the health forces of the
Country, stirred as never before by
such moral support have taken on
new courage, and in light of the re-
search work being done and the plans
for intensive use of every known
agency for prevention the outlook for
the future is agreeably bright.

Some time ago quantity of finished

OF the plant stole the material while
at work there or whether some one en-
tered the building when operations
had ceased is not known but the ma
terial has been reported as missing
to the police and they are on the
search of it and expect to make some
arrests today or tomorrow which may
lead to the guilty party or parties COM

officers are of the opinion that the
stolen material has been sold or 9TH
erwise disposed of for the time being
but it is expected to show up in the
near future.
Quite a bit of this petty thievery has
been going on in and around Maysville
for some little time and the police be-
lieve they are on the right track to
bring the guilty parties into court for
an investigation.

CITY'S TREASURY
TOBE SWELLED THIS
week BY LICENSES
All Firms Doing Business In MaysviIle
Under License Must Secure Their
1919 License Before New
Years Day-MayOr Rus
sells Busy Week.

This will be Mayor Thomas M. Rus
sells busy week for all city license ex-
pire on the last day in December and
Under the law all businesses required
to have city license must secure them
before the first day of the year or they
are unable to operate and liable to
heavy fine if they do operate.
All of these licenses must be issued
by the mayor and therefore Mayor
Thomas M. Russell will have quite a
busy time from now until the nrst of
the year for the rush has already
started. Today the mayor was kept
quite busy in his office and. many Ii
censes have been issued.
In all of the newspapers for the past
several days the official notice of IL
c. nse charges have been published and
igornance of the law will excuse no
one. In the past it has been the GUS
tom of some of those business men who
are compelled to have small licenses
to let them go by but Chief Ort and the
members of the police force will see
that after the first of January every
one required to have license has one.
Maysvilles city expenses this year
are going to be heavy and to make the
tax rate as reasonable as possible it
will be necessary to collect all of the
license money possible.

UNCLE SAM TO TRAIN EMPLOYMENT
MANAGERS FOR LARGE INDUSTRIES
By EDWARD d. JONES,
Professor of Commerce University

The government has found it neces-
sary to enter the field of education on
a large scale. War emergency courses
in employment. management, conduct
ed by the employment management
division of the war industries board,
under the auspices of five govern
mental departments, have been ar
ranged for in nine universities to date.
The outline of the courses of study
was made by Captain Boyd Fisher,
who has general supervision of the
work.
These courses in employment man
agement are designed to train men or
women, who already have basic ex-
perience of at least three years in in
dustrial life and factory methods, and
who have come in actual contact with
shop problems. Employers of labor,
particularly those having war con-
tracts, are urged to suggest men or
women from their own organizations
as candidates for these courses. With
the increasing tightening of the labor
situation, it is absolutely essential that
large plants have an efficient central
employment department. If the gov
ernment is to take upon itself the task
of furnishing labor when called upon
it is necessary that that labor be en-
ployed in the proper manner. In other
words, each man should be hired to
do the thing he is best fitted to do. In
these days every man must count and
there must be no square pegs in round
holes. 1t has been thoroly proved that
an experienced employment manager,
in charge of all hiring and firing,
comes very near to solving the labor
problem. Therefore it is up to the
employer to place his house in order
and make the best use of the men
with which he is supplied.
The introduction of the employment
manager into industry, and the stand
ardization of the services of an en-
ployment department is acknowledged
to be one of the greatest movements
now taking place in the manufactur-
ing industry of this country.
Courses have been arranged for at
Harvard, in cooperation with the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
Boston University, in Boston; Colum-

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS.

The effort to separate Liberty bond
holders not familiar with stock and
bond values from their Liberty bonds
has taken new turn. The manipula-
tors instead of offering to buy the
bonds at inadequate prices offer in ex-
change for them the stocks and bonds
of various wildcat corporations, whose
face value is large but whose actual
value is little or nothing. The safest
investment in the woi Id is Liberty
bond. For a patriotic American, Lib
erty bonds are the best investment
in the world. 1t is not only a wise
thing to hold them, it is a patriotic
thing to do. The soldier that takes
a trench and then voluntarily gives it
up is not to be compared with one
who takes a trench and holds it
against the enemy. An American who
buys Liberty bond and then sells it
is not so good an American as one
who buys bond and holds it. This
does not apply, however, to one who

The courses of instruction in the
various schools run from six weeks
to two months, and the classes are
conducted by the foremost authori-

with the problems of employment

management covers the organization

charges for the course, except the
outlay for living expenses of students

at once, but with as much speed as
may be necessary to meet the national
emergency they will release male
workers.
1--WE may as well face the facts.
Much work essential to our program is
being seriously retarded by lack of
unskilled labor. In this situation it is
obviously wrong to have able-bodied
men continuing to sell candy, cigars
and like articles, to be doing work in
shops and stores which might with
reasonable effort on the part of the
employers be intruSted to women, and
to be dancing attendants in clubs, bar
ber shops, soft drink establishments,
bowling alleys, dancing academies and
elsewhere.
Our war industries are suffering
severely for lack of skilled mechanics.
1t, therefore, becomes a burden upon
the conscience of every person who
employs a chauffeur to determine
whether such employment is neces-
sary or merely for the qualification of
personal pleasure.
Moreover, every owner of an auto
mobile should realize that every time
he spends SIS for automobile accessor-
determining whether working energies
winning the war or to his own per-
sonal uses.
1.-The time has come when, from the
standpoint of conservation of labor,
we must all of US limit our expenses
to those things which are essential

sincerely hope you will give it such
