SALE OF WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Is INCREASING

The sale of War Savings Stamps
in Paris during the campaign up to
the present day shows a gratifying
increase each day. The total has now
reached a little over 100000 and
the drive continues to go on briskly.
Several new names have been added
to the Honor Roll of limit purchas-
ers.
Miss Elizabeth Steele, County
Chairman, and her corps of assistants,
are busy every day at the headquar-
ters in the Bourbon agricultural
Bank & Trust Co. building at Broad
way, but never too busy to receive
contributions or purchase price of a
bunch of War Savings Stamps.
Remember that Saturday, June %,
will be National War Savings Stamps
Day. Pledge yourself on or before
that day to save to the utmost Of
your ability, and to buy War Savings
Stamps that there may be more
money, labor and materials to back
up those who fight and die for you.
In the meantime just pass over a
few dollars to Miss Steele and have
her exchange package of the stamps
for them.

VALUABLE INFORMATION SER
VICE BY AMERICAN
RED CROSS.

Through the efforts of the Red
Cross Civilian Relief Department,
arrangements have been made by
which valuable information regard
ing any question pertaining to the
allotment, allowance, compensation
or insurance can be promptly secur-
ed for the families of the men In
any branch of war service.
Most important is the fact that in
formation concerning the men in hos
pitfalls in France, or who may De
prisoners, can be secured more
promptly and accurately through
Red Cross mediums, than in any
other way.
Families of men in the service from
Bourbon county, outside of Millers-
burg. should communicate with Mr..
John Davis, Chairman of the Civilian
Relief Committee, Bourbon County
Chapter, American Red Cross, to
gain desired information in refer
ence to any questions pertaining to
any phase of the War Risk Insurance
Act, or regarding the welfare of men
in camp in the United States, or in
overseas service, or in regard to any
home problem where aid or counsel is
needed.
Careful consideration will be given
every request.

THURSDAY, JUNE 20, TO MARX
BONE-DRY ERA.

With the new law going into eff
feet June 20 pronouncing funeral ser
vices for shipments of liquor into
dry territory, Lexington, a big dis
tributing center, will feel a consider
able jar. Wholesalers say rush or
ders have come in from many sec
tions in the last few weeks.
"a year and a half will see ex-
haustion of the whisky supply in the
United States" said one dealer.
Chief Deputy William Grayot, of the
Internal Revenue Collectors Office,
declared he believes there will be lit
tie liquor in warehouses by that
time.
Buyers will have to work out their
own plans after the law goes into
effect, according to one dealers YER
sion. He said whisky dealers could
continue to sell, but that purchasers
would have to take chances of get
ting shipments to destination.
Shortage of the supply has caused
the average price, according to esti-
mates, to be placed at $3.50 per
quart. The gallon price has gone
from So to $40, the price varying &C
cording to brand and age.

TRACTORS MAKING BIG HIT
WITH BOURBON FARMERS

The farm tractors recently sent to
thls county under the auspices of the
agricultural Experiment Station at
Lexington are doing splendid work,
and have met with a cordial recep-
tion upon the part of the farmers to
whom they were sent.
One farmer on whose place one of
the tractors was operated said he had
not seen it in operation until last
Monday, when he saw it going
through big field of barley, pulling
an eight-foot reaper. He stated that
ne was delighted. He was on horse
pack and the tractor did it's work so
Well and got over the ground so fast
that he could not begin to keep up
with it.
With the increasing scarcity of
farm labor the most improved farm
machinery is bound to be introduced
sooner or later, and the farm tractor
is leading the way A four-horse
team attached to a mower or a bind
er may give out on hot day, but
the tractor will do more work, do it
better, and never give out. 1t is
bound to become farm necessity.

LIEUTENANT HERSHEY DELIV.
Frs AN INTERESTING
ADDRESS.

In furtherance of the campaign
for the sale of War Savings Stamps in
this city and county, Lieut.. F. ].
HERSHEY, of the English army, a mem
Der of the British Rifle Brigade, de-
livered~ an interesting address to a
crowd that filled the big Circuit
Court room at the court house We'd
pesday afternoon.
Preceding the address the Liberty
Drum and Bugle Corps gave a parade,
advertising the speaking, and the big
tower bell on top of the fire depart
ment headquarters rang out, in the
same cause. This quickly brought
the crowd out in large numbers, and
by the time the speaker arrived the
room was comfortably filled.
Lieutenant HERSHEY was introduced
to the audience by Mr.. Wade H.
Whitley. He launched into his sub
ject at once, going to it with all the
vim an army man would use ia. MAX
ing a charge on the enemy, His ad-
dress was fIlf of startling facts relat-
ing to the horrors practiced in Bel
GUM and other war-stricken coun-
tries of Europe by the Huns. He told
many instances that fully attested
the brutality and utter disregard for
the conventionaIities of civilization
practiced by the Germans, and in a
most impressive manner brought
home to his audience the absolute
necessity of supporting every war
measure that woul6fe1 to defeat
Kaiser Bill and his unspeakabIe ruff
fans. He told many things that
seemed almost unbelievable, but the
speakers earnestness and the fact
that he had spent many years in
actual warfare, gave the stamp of
truthfulness to all his utterances.
As he had been in the service since
1914 and had just arrived in this
country several weeks ago after
having been wounded at the battle
of Ypres, his talk was of unusual in
terest.
Mrs. Clarence Lebus, of Lexington,
made short talk to the audience,
congratulating Bourbon county on
the progress of the War Savings
Stamp campaign, and paying trib-
ute to those who were engaged in
work. The Liberty Chorus Of this
city, under the direction of Mr.. A.
L. Boatright, rendered select pro-
gram Of patriotic music, appropriate
to the occasion. 9(
