ments. They will be for short per-
iods, largely for seeding and har-
vesting time. They will not be
granted to enlistedinen of or above
the grade Of first sergeant, nor in
an organization that has been Or
dered to move or is in transit from
points of mobilization or training to

With last weeks issue the Times
Cancelled large contract for cigar
cttc advertising at a fancy price for
the space. We did this because we
believe the use OF cigarettes is de-
stroying our young manhood, and
this advertising might cause some
one to take up the habit. We would
not have accepted this advertising
contract direct under no circum-
stances, but we were caught into it
by signing a contract January l
with one of the leading advertising
associations OF the country. They
prepared the contract calling for
$500 worth of legitimate advertis-
ing at our own rate, the cash paya-
bile each month. This looked so
good to us that we signed up, all
the while knowing as our readers
do, that there is but little local adj
vertising by merchants here, and
that TO exist, it was necessary to
branch out. The cigarette adver-
Using and that of Swift & Co. are
two of the first to be sent us on
the contract. We do not approve
of either of them.
We have made up our mind that
we will not be bound by contract
that hurts our conscience so to car
ry it-out, and have therefore dis
continued the cigarette advertising.
Intending to be forever.
Cigarette smoking is accredited
with killing one of our acquaintan-
ces in adjoining county within the
last twelve months. Smoking them
is supposed to have killed a young
man in Breathitt early in the year
and has rendered thousands unfit
for any thing, so medical science
tell us. So dangerous are they
taat we have a law in Kentucky
prohibiting their sale to boys under
eighteen years old. We will not
advertise any article that is such {
drawback to the proper develop
ment of our boys, though it means
loss to us in business and cash.
Another advertisement that doe
not meet with our approval is tina
Of the packers trying to explain
why they are justified in charging
so much for meat because the Gov
eminent is beginning to pinch then
by an investigation. They are us
ing nearly every paper in the LAM
to clear up their guilty hides. w
do not believe this right, so W
wall accept no more Of their gold t
hoodwink the people. We ma,
live poorer in pocketbook for max
ing these sacrifices of business I
maintain a principle, but we ar
sure we will have much easie
conscience.
For we truly believe advertsin
pays, and when it yields pay :
harmful operators, and we carry il
we are an accessory We quit, b
asking our readers TO pardon us 70
imposing ON them by running thes
advertisements.

SAVAGE METHOD OF WARFARE
Germany Broke International Agree. ment When She Began the Use
 of Poison Gas.

Poisonous gases are produced by some explosives which have been com monly used in warfare They are the products of the explosion The 'direct use of poison gases however, was specifically inhibited by The Hague convention. They were used deliber- ately for the first time on April 22 1915, on part of the Ypres salient. A poison gas cloud (chlorine) was there launched by the Germans against the French and British, where they joined the Turc0s and Canadians receiving the brunt
 Frustrated in the quick accomplish ment of their aims. the Germans again threw all honor aside. as they had done in Belgium and used poison gases. In this way they proposed tO end the war quickly.
