TOBACCO COMING STRONGER TO
THE PARIS MARKETS

With the thawing out of the
roads in this county. which are
practically free of snow and ice,
farmers are making a rush to get
their tobacco to the Paris market
AS a result, wagons heavily loaded.
may be seen almost any day. pass
ing through Paris en- route to the
local houses on South Main street.
If the weather continues favorable
as at present it is reasonable to ex-
pect that there will be an unusually
large amount of tobacco brought in.
The greater part Of the Bourbon
county crop has been stripped out,
but the farmers have been unable
to get it to the market on account
of the difficulties experienced in
hauling it over the roads, which,
for several weeks, have been as
good as closed on account Of the
snow and ice blockade.
The market at the recent sales
has had an upward tendency, with
prices very encouraging, and with
very few reflections. According to
reports received from the farmers.
tobacco growers and handlers, the
Bourbon county tobacco market is
far ahead Of what it has been and
bids fair to be one Of the best In
the State, as 1t is certainly now
about the best in Central Kentucky.
The Paris market Is holding its owa
with all the larger markets, the
averages being as large as they are
on the other markets and in many
cases being much higher.
The local markets opened. again
Wednesday after "heatless Monday"
and Tuesday holiday. The market,
all things considered, was the
strongest since the opening day.
The prices were so good that there
was not a rejected basket. The
sales were blocked on account of the
heavy receipts and were continued
over to yesterday.
The Independent led off with the
sales blocked from Tuesday, and in
many instances high averages were
received. Turney & Taylor sold
crop of 1910 pounds of tobacco at
this house for an average Of $41.12.
The Independent sold total of
197,830 pounds for an average of
$29.73. The following are some Of
the crop averages:
C. r. Wheat & Current, 1900
pounds, average $36.11.

BIG BOND ISSUE
TO PUT STATE ON CASH BASIS
AND PROVIDE MANY GREATLY
NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS.

A bill was Introduced in the House
last Friday night by the ways and
means committee to submit to the
electors of the State at the next
general election the proposal of a
four million dollar bond issue to
place the State government on a
cash basis, to create a fund for an
office building and buildings at
State institutions and a fund of one
million dollars for bridges over
streams in various parts of the State
and over the Savannah river. The
measure was prepared by a SUBJ
committee of the ways and means
committee, of which E M Seabrook.
Of Charleston, was chairman.
AS much as 81, 500. 900 would be
necessary to wipe out the indebted
ness of the State and a similar sum
would be provided for buildings. to
be expended during the next ten
years. The bonds are to run forty
wears and are to bear a rate of In
terest not exceeding 5 per centum.
The funds would be in the hands OF
a commission consisting of the Gov
ernor, the Attorney General. the
State Treasurer. the Comptroller
General and the chairman of the
State Highway Commission.
The bill is the result of the recon-
mendation contained in the annual
message of Governor Manning to
to the General Assembly.

SOME OTHER CEREAL.
THE PURCHASER MUST BUY EQUAL AMOUNT OF
GRIST, RICE, ETC, SAY FOOD REGULATIONS
--.WHEATLESS AND MEATLESS DAYS.

under license regulations not to buy
more than seventy (70) per cent of
their purchases of flour from millers
as based on their purchases for cor
responding months of the preceding
year and their sale to the retail trade

IS. Millers of flour are to distrib-
ute their output through their Gus

a manner that eacn city, town and
district may receive its usual pro-
portion. The wheat millers have
been required to produce one barrel

flour and represents from two ~
per cent to four (4) per cent higher
extraction than last years HARVEST.
e. To assist further in conserva-
ton. Monday and Wednesday of each
week are to be observed as wheat
less days, and one meal Of each day
as wheatless meal. This applies
both in the home and in the public
eating place and on such days and
such meals no crackers. pastries,
macaroni or ealscontaining wheat
should be used. The only exception
to this is such small amount # flour
as may be needed for thickening
soups or gravies or as a binder in
cornbread or other cereal breads.
81. On wheatless days and at
.wheatless meals, the food admins
tration urges that bread baked in
the home be other than wheat bread.
Victory bread should be used if no
wheat substitutes can be found.
The federal food administrator
in each State will announce the meal
to be observed as a wheatless meal
in his State. If no meal is designated
the United States food administra-
ton prefers that the evening meal
be wheatless.
g. 1t is further desired. in order
that meat and pork products be con-
served, that one meatless day tues
day )in every week, and one meatless
meal in every day be observed. and
in addition, two porkless days (Tues-
day and Saturday)in every week, be
strictly kept. By meatless is meant
without hog. cattle or sheep prod
ucts. On other days use muttod and
lamb in preference to beef or pork.

night issued the following summary
of the rules that have been formu-
lated by that body with the approx.
al of the President in order to effect
the further conservation of food
stuffs. These rules became effective

The effectiveness of these rules
is dependent solely upon the good
will of, and the willingness to sacri-
flee by the American people.
Part of the rules will be enforced
under the Lever food act; other
parts are voluntary and will depend
for their success upon public senti.
ment.,
Il. Az their part in reducing the
consumption of wheat flour. the con-
sumers of the country are called

rolled oats, buckwheat -four, potato
-four, sweet potato -four, soya bean

-four only with an equal weight of
these other cereals.
"2. Consumers will be able to OBJ
tain mixed flour bread from their
bakers. who will be required to mix
fve(5)per cent of other cereals with
their wheat -four. both in bread and
rolls, and will be required gradually
to increase their substitution till be-
ginning February "a. minimum of
twenty (2Oj per cent of such cereals

ton strongly urges on consumers the
buying of this bread, which will be
known az victory bread, and will
contain not less than twenty (2O) per
cent of cereals other than wheat.
Graham or whole wheat bread will
also be given that name.
If you bake bread at home. use
wheat substitutes; if you buy it.buy
only victory bread.

The shutting down of many OF
the industries of the State on every
Monday for the next eight weeks
presents splendid opportunity to
xemployees of these industries espre'
pare and plant their spring gardens.
The critical food situation in the
country makes it absolutely imper-
atiye for every family to have the
largest possible supply of vegetables
for immediate consumption and for
canning, and we hope that every
employee in the State who is made
idle by the fuel administration order
will improve this opportunity for
gardening.

Citizens To Help

problem-each state must help itself
more. This can only be done by the
many classes of city and village men
helping where they have never help

"This is not my war;" so they cannot
say "This is not my harvest" To help
in the harvest is as truly patriotic
and essential for the winning of the
war as making other supplies for the
army.
"No able-bodied man can con-
scientiously refuse to help if called
upon. Several of the state in my
jurisdiction have taken steps under
the State Council of Defense to call
out all male help to save the crop on

private occupations or pleasures to-
