Fred D. Pierce is Home
on a Furlough.

Fred d. Pierce, Petty officer and wite-
less operator from Battleship u. S. s..
Kentucky which is some where in>the
Atlantic is spending few days with his
parents Mr.. and Mrs. R B. Pierce at
Rose Hill.
Mr.. Pierce graduated from the Cover
ment Radio Class at Harvard University
on Oct. az, and was detailed to his pres
ent location for wireless operation and
also as instructor for wireless school
which is held aboard the Kentucky. Mr..
Pierce is very sorry that he cannot tell
any more regarding the life at sea and
the wonderful part the Navy is playing
in the worlds war as he would like fully
for his friends and comrades to know of
the interesting side of navy life and of
the great protection it is now rendering
the American and allied people
The sailor boy also puts the Red Cross
work in this war as being great stimuli
ant for the boys at sea and says it is one
of the many ways the boys use to judge
the real patriotism of those who stay at
home to keep the old ship shore in
running order and he says the opening
of Xmas boxes from the Red Cross
would have been great sight if the
good people could have seen the boys
opening them and exchanging their
appreciation of same.
Mr.. Pierce says Cloverport sure looks
good to him excitement is alright for
the boys and they like it pretty we'll,
but the old melody "There is no place
like home" is always ringing in their
ears

Norman Going to Front.

Roy Norman. now First Lieutenant
of Artillery, youngest son of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. R. Moorman, and brother of
JudgeDHenry DeHaven Norman, for
MANY years a resident of Califor mia, is
spending q short time with his parents
and friends In Kentucky before sailing
for France. Young Norman grad
uated in law at Central University but
later chose a business career on the
coast. He was successful. but disposed
of his interests and volunteered though
not in the draft age. He leaves friends
and admirers wherever he has been,
and the advancement he has made in
dictates what may be expected of him in
the army. He is remembered here as a
progressive and ambitious youth with
intensity of purpose and great integrity.
He made good at nome and away and
his kind are even more useful In war
than In peace. 1t Is hoped that he may
as safely return as he cheerfully goes.

AMERICAN AVIATION
HAS A FLEET OF
$4,000 A|RPLANES
And a Corps Of 10000 Aviators
Entraining. Liberty Motor is
One Of the Greatest Achieve
ments Of the War, So Far.

American aviation units, 1t Is an
nounced at the War Department, have
now moved up in numbers to stations
Immediately behind the front In France.
This is the vanguard Of the new army
for which Congress last Summer voted
an appropriation of s84O, 10000
A feet OF $4,000 airplanes is being
built for the Army, and corps Of 10, 900
aviators is being trained. These are
the men and the machines that will
answer to the call received from Gen.
eral Pershing last week for the sarli-
est possible shipment of men and planes
for employment against the Germans
In the West.
The task before fine Airplane Pro-
duction Board at the outset of the war
was, in reality, the organization Of a
new industry, entire. That is the task
that has been accomplished in the past
five months. When the Board began
its work only two companies manufae-
turing airplanes we're in operation in
the United States, and the machines
turned out we're serviceabls only for
practice flights.
The first work of the Board was to
set men to the task of designing a new
engine. The result OF one weeks work
by twenty experts was the Liberty
motor, which Secretary Baker has pro-
nounced the greatest achievement of
the war. so far.
The Liberty Motor is a model Of
Standardization. 1t Is built with four
cylinders, or with eight or twelve, and
the same parts are interchangeable for
all three. of the different sizes. The
greatest automobile factories in the
world have provided with machinery
for turning out these motors.
The training Of American aviators
now is going forward on the flying
fields of England and France. and on a
dozen or more new flying fields in
America, where veteran fiers from
the Western front are serving as in
struc. ors

SURPLUS OF WHEAT
ALREADY SENT ABROAD
Protests Against WheatIess and
MeatIess Days Denounced by
Food Administration.

The following was issued by the
United States food administration:
Statements appearing in the Chicago
press emanating from interested par
ties, protesting against whcatless and
meatless days as unnecessary sacri-
fees by the American public, are either
malicious or emanate from personal in
terest.
The results from meatless days have,
for the first time, given us sufficient
reserves of meat to allow us to only
partially comply with the quantities
requested by the allies for shipments.
This should be q matter of satisfac-
ton to the entire American people,
that their devotion in this matter now
enables us to at least partially fulfill
our duties to the allies In this respect.
As to wheat, we have already ex-
ported the whole Of the surplus of the
1917 harvest, over and above the nor
NAL demands of our own population.
II is necessary, therefore, for the food
administration to restrict the export
of wheat, so as to retain in the United
States sufficient supplies to carry our
own people until the next harvest.
Therefore all exports Of wheat from
now forward are limited entirely to
volume of saving made by the Ameri-
can people in their consumption Of
wheat and wheat products. We are
continuing wheat shipments as far as
our situation allows but even with all
the conservation made we are still I'M
able to load over 100000 tons Of food
stuffs urgently required by the allies.
Statements of the character referred
to given out for personal interest are
in little accord with the spirit being
shown by millions of homes in the
United States in an endeavor to aid
the food administration in its task.

FIRE BELLS
MISTAKEN FOR
new YEARS BELLS
Heroic Work Of Volunteer Fire.
men Save Mr.. Weddings
Home-AIarm Sounded at
1::30-Same House Caught
Fire Six Years Ago.

Not fully realizing the time of morn
ing and thinking the church bells were
ringing the new year in and the old
year out-a good many of the iLhabi.
tants OF Cloverport were not as quick to
rise on Tuesday morning at the first
tap of fire alarm, as they would have
been at ony ether tine.
About 1870 o'clock, Tuseday New
Years morning, Mr.. and Mrs Ernest
Wedding and their little son, Ernest G..
Wedding, were awakened by the heavy
smoke which was in their sleeping room
and upon rising they discovered their
entire cottage was filed with smoke.
Mr.. Wedding Immediately sounded
alarr, In the neishborhood and when
people we're fully aware that there was
a fire, they rushed to the scene and
soon found the fire was In the baseme ut
where the furnace was. But on &C
count of the dense smoke, the only way
to fight the fire was by tearing up the
A)ors In the dining room and kitchen
and by doing this and with the use of
the patent FIRE extinguishers. the house
Was saved as we'll as the other houses
on the block, all Of them being franz
structures and close to one another
1t is generally surmised that the
cause of the fire was due to the natural
gas which was left burning in the fur
mace and during the night the pressure
became very powerful. Six years ago
this same cottage, then occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Courtney Babbage, caught
fire in the kitchen and was saved with
very little damage.
On New Years day, while Mr.. Wed
ding was busy having his furniture
moved back into his home and getting
things in order, his drug store was in
charge of Mr.. j. Byrne Sewers, drug
9ist, who Is at home for the holidays.
