INSECTICIDE SITUATION
is AGGRAVATED BY WAR

East Lansing, March 13.-That
farmers are likely to experience diff
ficulty this season in securing an ade-
quate supply of the insecticides neces-
sary for the protection of crops from
insect attacks, is asserted in press
bulletin issued by the Michigan Agri-
cultural college. 1t is being suggested
by M. A. c. accordingly, that where
possible, farmers should get in stocks.
"The source of arsenic for insecti-
cides is white arsenic, and arsenious
OXIDE produced from the roasting of
arsenbaI ores. The imports upon
which we have depended for large
part of these have been cut off," the
bulletin declares. "The price of ar
senic has risen and there is a conse-
quent rise in the prices of most of the
hrsenical insecticides. The advance in
the fall of 1917 was approximately ten
per cent over the prices quoted in the
early summer and these prices seem to
be holding up to the present time.
"There is a shortage of sulphur, as
we'll, owing to the lack of suitable
SOuICCo III Wills COuilIl hShSCt
there has been a corresponding adj
vance in price of material for the MAX
ing Of lime-sulphur solution.
"The tobacco insecticides have re-
manned about the same since 1914, and
there is no anticipation of any change
in the near future.
"Arenate of lead powder can be
stored in any dry room. Arsenate of
lead paste must be stored in warm
room; most cellars are suitable.
Growers should either make their
plans for buying now, or find out the
condition of the market at an early
date from those from whom they are
accustomed to buy. Dealers instead
of waiting until the insects have taken
more than their usual ten per cent Of
the profits, should anticipate the de-
mand and endeavor to secure supply
from the manufacturers"

PRICES FOR BINDER TWINE

Lansing, March 12.-Following ar
investigation of the cost of manufac.
turing binder Irvine the United States
Food Administration announces the
maximum advance over cost of sisel
which may be charger by the manufac-
turer. The scale is based upon the
present price of 10 cents per pound
for sisal fibre. Standard and sisal
binder Irvine containing 500 feet to
the pound should be sold in carload
lots of 10000 pounds or more at a
maximum advance of a cents pei
pound above the cost of sisal. Lots
Of 10000 pounds or more, but less than
10000 pounds, are to be sold at ar
advance of not more than 1-8 cents
per pound above the primary price
All smaller amounts are to carry ar
advance of not more than Ia cents
per pound.
Irvine that contains $50 feet to the
pound should be sold at a maximum
advance of / "a cents per poun(
above the price for standard Irvine
600 feet to the pound, at an increase
of cents; $50 feet to the pound, a.
4 1-2 cents per pound increase. Pure
Manila Irvine containing $50 feet t.
the pound should be sold at an advanc,
of not more than cents per pount
above the price of standard Irvine. AL
of these prices are f. o. b. factory. II
formulating this scale of prices tn
Food Administrator has considere,
the increased weight of binder twin
Z over it's .sisal content. 1t has mad
allowances for the fact that manufac
turers now have on hand sisal whicl
was purchased at lower prices thar
rule today or Irvine that was manufac
tured from the lower priced sisal.

The Noble Work of the Red Cross

What the American Red Cross has
done with the millions of dollars in
trusted to it by the people of the Unit
ed States is shown in statement
Just issued by national headquarters
Appropriations today amount to
79,450,7 27, and cover the period from
the time we entered the war last April
until April 80, 1918.
For foreign relief the sum OF
S44,657,795 has been appropriated and
much of it spent, as follows: France,
$3O,519,259; Belgium, 81 ,999, 521; Rus
STA, $751, $40; Roumania, $2,617 ,29S;
Italy, $3,146,016; Serbia, $S71 ,18O;
Great Britain, $1,703,642; other for
eign countries, $2,536,300; for Amer
lean soldiers who may be taken pris-
oners, $343,627.
AS the government supplies nearly
everything our soldiers and sailors
need, the appropriation for the United
States is only $2,612,532. All salar-
les and administrative expenses are
paid out of membership dues so that
every penny of the war fund goes to
relief.
The great variety of military and
civilian relief by the Red Cross may
be indicated briefly: canteens that af-
ford food, baths and lodging for SOL
diers at the front; rest stations and re-
creation centers for soldiers in transit
and at port Of arrival in France; care
If ornhan and Destitute children. sun
plies for 1000 hospitals; teaching
muitlated soldiers new trades; recon-
struction of homes and villages; SAM
tariums for tubercular and other pa
tients; food, clothing, medicine and
shelter for adult civilians in distress
and many other activities.
Anyone sufficiently interested may
obtain full report, showing in which
country and for what purpose every
dollar was spent, by applying to the
American Red Cross at Washington.

The Vote On Suffrage.

Two or three facts are worthy OF
mention in connection with the SEN
ate's vote on the suffrage amend
ment.
The amendment was defeated by a
combination of southern senators and
few reactionaries from northeastern
states. Of the total vote against,
about Sc per cent was from the south.
Another interesting fact is that the
Republicans seem to have stolen a
march on their Democratic brethren
which will cost the latter dearly in
the future. OF the total number of
Republicans voting, 70 per cent were
for the amendment, while ofthe total
Democrats recorded, only So per cent
cast their votes in the affirmative.
The senators casting their votes
against the amendment represented
roughly about 80 per cent of the total
population, using the census of 1910.
Not counting the vote Of Senator
Jones of New Mexico, who changed
his vote to ''no" for parliamentary
reasons, only two votes were cast
against the amendment from west of
the Mississippi river, ana only four
from the region west Of the Alleghe-
MES and north Of the Ohio river.
1t appears, therefore, that the
amendment was beaten by the south
and the east, but chiefly by Demo
Gratis from the south.

Newspaper Subscriptions,

The government is now trying to
save paper by requiring publishers to
discontinue the mailing Of newspapers
to subscribers who do not pay up. 1t
was amusing a few days ago to see
how people fused when the govern
ment began to deny the usual pound
rates on papers that were not paid for.
Many newspapers kept standing no
tice that the post Office made this ru-
ling. They. also notified subscribers
by mail.
But many subscribers would not
believe it. They thought it was all
scheme of the publishers to get mon
ey in faster. This rule was probably
enforced more strictly in some locali-
ties than others, which led to confus-
ion. There were many publishers
that would carry an unpaid paper "a
long five or ten years, which gave the
public the idea that it is not an i'm
portant thing to keep subscriptions
paid up.
Newspaper publishers dislike to
keep punching up their subscribers.
But other agencies that depend upon
collecting a lot of small bills, like
electric light and telephone and
water companies, find it absolutely
necessary to have these payments
made regularly. IF you don't pay
every 30 days, many Of these com
panies will discontinue their service
and put you to great Inconvenience.
Newspaper publishers will always
be too lenient. 1t would be a good
thing if they would all get together
and carry out uniform policy Of dis
continuance Of unpaid subscriptions.
The newspaper is one of the most
importanG agencies working for civic
progress. 1t carries a heavy load of
effort, and it ought not to be bothered
with the cost and annoyance Of col
lecting a lot Of neglected bills. So if
people could regard the bill that
comes only once q year for the annual
subscriptions, as something having real,
Importance which should be attended
TO as you would a telephone bill, it
would promote the usefulness of the
newspaper ami help it serve the pub
lie better. Messenger, Marshall,

Moehlenpah, Democratic candi-
date for governor, speak at
Rhinelander Tuesday night, were
well rewarded for any effort put
forth to do so. Entirely free
from partisan politics, no hearer
could disagree with any state
ment made, nor doubt that if
elected governor Of Wisconsin,
that his administration will be
one devoted to the best interests
of the people of the state. His ap-
peal for strong and united sup
port of Wisconsin's soldiers and
sailors, and the cause for which
they are offering and giving their.
lives was warmly applauded as
was his vigorous and open stand
on the suffrage and foreign Ian
guage planks in the Democratic
platform. Voters who support
Mr.. Moehlenpah on Nov. 5th will
have no reason to regret their
choice for governor we are more
than ever convinced.

MILLINERY SHOP
CHANGES OWNERSHIP


One of Cloverport's oldest and leading
millinery shops which has been owned
several years by Mrs. James N. Cordrey,
has been sold 20 Mrs Ethel Hills
The business transaction was made
Monday. June 10, and Mrs. Hills will
take charge Of the store the first of July.
She announces that in addition 70 the
millinery, she will have an exclusive
line of ladies ready-to-wear clothing
Mrs. Cordrey has been business wo-
man in Cloverport for over twenty years
and while she was not so actively en-
gagged in her work during the past few
years on account of household duties,
she has had an efficient assistant in her
sister-in-law, Miss Bertha Cordaey, who
will probably take up some other line of
work later on.

CARRIERS LANDING

We notice by the papers that Fire
Chief n. L. Stader of Cloverport has
been making frequent excursions up
the Buckeye state. We will wager a
dollar to a tin Lizzie that these excur-
sions are not on account of the war.
For the last few weeks we notice
Tom Carter's little red machine
known as the little Red Ant has been
hitohed to the kicking post down in
what they call st, Rose Court mighty
often these days. Eat so yep eats so.
We wonder whyP Obi Louise.
Now all the girls that don't want to
marry had better climb tree. Why
June Carter of this place has broke out
in society Has been seen wandering a
round in Eastland a suburb Of Glover
port for the last two Sundays. Well
Ivey. In spite of the churches ban on
round dancing two of St Roses fair
ones have become infatuated with the
Waltz. On Sundays mind you | swan
May and you too Clestie.
One day last week we met Frank
Greenwood and Allen Jennings two
apparently confirmed old bachelors.
Aft.r discussing the weather, crops,
war, etc. Allen bursted out In one of
those side splitting chuckles that he is
not ed for and says, SAY Null what dc
you think about our chances matrimon'
ially?" We told him that our chances
for getting into the army were very
good right now but when it come to
matrimony they were very gloomey
But we advised the boys to cheer ny
that 1920 would be leap year again and
If the Fntzles didn't get us the wal
would be in our favor as there would
be left 9099990 war widows left so why
worry. Good night.

SOLDIERS MARCH
THROUGH STREETS
OF CLOvERPORT
Exciting Times Last Friday Eve
ming During Short Sojourn Of
Train Load of Men in Khaki.

1t was exciting times last Friday
evening in this port VIXEN about two
hundred soldiers came marching up
through main street cheering and sing
ing, trying to exercise their lungs as
we'll as their bodies.
1t all happened about seven O'Clock.
the soldier train from somewhere pulled
in at the L. II. & ST. l.. shops and in
fifteen minutes after that, it looked
like Pershing's army had suddenly
dropped down in Cloverport but in
reality 1t was only about two hundred
soldiers marching from the shops to the
depot just for the exercise. One sold
Ter was overheard to say he had not
been off the train for five hours.
There were several destinations as to
the exact number of soldiers aboard the
train and no one seems to agree. AT
any rate it is safe to say there we're
six hundred or more at the least.
Nothing def mite of their whereabouts
could be obtained save that they were
of hospital detachment and were on
an east bound train.
