SURGICAL DRESSING WORK NOW
PUT ON QUOTA BASIS.

All work in the surgical dressings
department of the Red Cross in the
Lake Division is being put ON a quota
basis.
This means that allotments in the
future must be bit smaller than
formerly, owing to the fact that there
has been an unbalanced production in
the past.
Until things even up-until certain
articles are provided of which at
present there is slight shortage, the
surgical dressings production must
necessarily be curtailed and the en-
ergy diverted to making the other
needed articles assigned in the
quotas.
It is hoped that all surgical dress
ing rooms will soon be asked to re-
sumo work at top speed.
At present there are enough fin
ished dressings being shipped to
meet the need abroad until other i'm
portant articles can be gotten out

additional supply of cards, but with
the exception of being called upon

"GASOLINELESS SUNDAY" ORDER
DOESN'T APPLY TO
CHURCHGOERS

A wrong impression has been Gre
ated In the minds of many people in
the county by publication of the
United States Fuel Administrations
call to the people to cease the use of
automobile driving for pleasure on
Sundays. Some thought it prohibited
use of the machines for church going.
but such is not the case
According to County Fuel Admin
lstrator James H. Thompson, persons
having no other way to attend church
may use automobiles in coming to
and returning from church services.
In fact, church-going in America is
considered necessity, as this is a
Christian nation, and our success in
the world-war, which is now in
progress depends upon the loyalty Of
the people to their churches as much
as to the force of arms.
The past two Sundays very little
automobile driving for pleasure has
taken place in Bourbon county, but
the people have driven to and from
church in their automobiles, and
they may continue to do so. The per-
son, however, who runs his or her
automobile on Sunday for pleasure,
while they may not be arrested, will
be considered slackers. The call Of
the Government is being complied
with almost to the letter all over the
country east of the Mississippi river.
The ruling of the Fuel Administra-
ton that applies to church-going is
as follows: Restrictions do not apply
to motor vehicles on errands of neces-
sity in rural communities, where
transportation by steam or electricity
is not available"

VOLUME xxxvIl
THE LIBERTY CHORUS

The Liberty Chrous, under the di-
rection of Mr.. A. L. Boatright, gave
a series Of open-air "sings" in Paris.
Saturday night. The members of the
Chorus, supplemented by a number
of other vocalists, were taken in big
furniture motor trucks from one
place to another. The first of the
concerts took place in front of the
court house, where program of pa
triotic songs was rendered by the
Chorus in the presence of a large
crowd. Mrs. Wade Whitley presided
at the piano.
Stops were made at the corner of
Main and Sixth, near the Kress Co. s
store, where the program was re-
peated, and the cheers and plaudits
of the crowd that almost equaled the
other. From there the singers pro-
ceeded to the corner of Main and
Eighth, where a big crowd awaited
them. The program was repeated
there and drew forth loud applause
from the assembled crowd. The
singers then proceeded to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Hattie Hill, where the
program was rendered, and the vocal
lists returned to their homes. Alto
gether it was Large night"
The program, which was made up
for the most part of patriotic airs,
interpreted with other songs of an
equally pleasing character, was rem
dered by the full strength of the
membership, in an excellent manner,
fully attesting the faithful drilling
and instruction they had received.
The new piano was put into commits
sion on this occasion for the first
time, and added much to the enjoy
ment of the evening.
The Government has made a special
request for entertainments of this
character, and urges that everyone
who can sing should take part in the
singing. The appearance of the
Chorus in this city is always an as
surance of a pleasant two or three
hours concert, and they should be
encouraged in every way to continue
the good work, which is as patriotic
as any.
The crowd followed the singers
from one place to another and it
seemed as if they could not get
enough of the melodies which the
Chorus rendered. Considering the
counter on the same
night, the singing attracted its share
of attention and attendance.

The suit has been filed by Weldon

with them. Direct compensation Of
SO. 900 is asked for the railroad right

constructing and maintaining cattle
guards, $4,000 for injury in separat-
