Mt. Sterling, KY.

Conservative citizens everywhere
will deplore the attempt on the part
of some of our misguided statesmen
to reopen the party fights that
have been our custom in years past.
Nothing at this time could be worse
for the country than-a bitter polit
ical fight throughout the land. Ev-
cry interest of the country demands
unity of sentiment and action.
Republican politicians could not
hope for advantage except at the
expense of great harm to their
country, and such action on the
part of Democrats could be moth
ing but suicidal.
Doubtless there have been mis-
takes made and blunders commit
ted-what administration has been
free from them7 But these mis-
takes have not been such as to call
for a political upheaval We are
not ready to admit to our enemy
that our leaders have been un-
equal to the task required of them.
If the malcontents will lay aside
personal ambitions and put their
shoulders to the wheel in an honest
endeavor to achieve the great task
before us, they will find their ambi-
tons much surer of attainment than
by instigating a fight that could
have no other effect than to EN-
barrass the administration.
If Republican leaders viii take
ex- Secretary Roots advice and for
get that they have any political
bias, and if the Administration will
remember that the patriotism Of
is just as deep and
fervid as their own, we win win
through to a glorious victory.
Nothing could give our enemy
more comfort at this time than for
Americans to revive old political
contests and reopen old political
sores.

BACK TO THE FARM"
NOW A NECESSITY

setHa - H.1-9tNN
In the working out Of the farm
problems the coming season the
country is up against some stub
born facts. II is useless to blind
our eyes to the situation--we are
short of farm workers, and that at
time when even more are needed
than at any time heretofore. The
working of the selective draft may
give some relief, but cannot en-
tirely remedy matters. Even with
out the loss of the thousands of
young men recently called, the
farms have been ort-handed for
several years.
In this connection we would call
attention to some facts that should
interest us. II has been noted for
some time that many farmers, after
years Of effective work on their
farms, have left them and moved
to the towns, leaving their lands in
the care of tenants. This has
been bad for the farms in many
ways, particularly in that it de-
prived the, lands of the care of men
Of experience and superior judg-
ment, both so vitality necessary at
this time.
These men are still in the towns,
hundreds of them, thousands of
them. While they may be a sub
stantial factor of the town force,
their presence is at this time most
urgently demanded on the farms.
Every farm in the land is crying out
for the guiding hand and brain Of
its owner-the one person who
should have the deepest interest in
it's success.
In this crisis of the nations life,
every owner of farm who has left
it-wherever possible without too
great sacrifice = should return to
the soil and give to it his best labor
and thought. 1t is not merely the
matter of his daily labors, though
these would count largely in results.
There is the more important fact
of his experience and broader
knowledge of farm problems. His
hand at the helm would be an in
spiration to the entire farm force
and would count powerfully in the
final results.
There could be no finer exhibition
of patriotism than for the ex-
farmers of the country, wherever
and however situated, to return to
the soil at least through the per-
lod of the war, when they could be
of such untold aid to their country.

 The British and French are keep ing up their attacks, which are grad ually bringing the important town o1 St. Quentin into their hands. In Ser bia the Serbs, Italians, Greeks and British are still threatening the. ene- my with disaster by their rapid ad- vance and the confusion into which the Bulgarians and Germans have been thrown by the shock Of the of- fensive.
 The Turks inc Palestine are being sadly harassed by the forces of the British General Allenoy and the tribesmen of the king of the Hedjas are almost surrounded.

 Bulgaria has been invaded by al- lied troops, recording to British of- ficial statement issued at Saloniki. British troops entered Bulgarian ter ritory opposite Kosturino, about six miles south of Strumitza, the enemy base in this region.
 The allied advance into Bulgaria continues and British and Greeks l..e forcing their way over the Belachista mountain range on the Bulgarian bor- der northeast. of Doirun, says Brit ish official statement, issued here.
 North of Lake Doir.n the Greeks are nearing the crest of the moun- tains. Dzuma Ombasi has been reach- ed by the British.
 Bulgarians in Danger.
 The position of the First Bulgarian army on the allied left in Macedonia is dangerous, according V to reports reaching here, but it is not believed that the army is faced with imme- diate disaster. The Italians, who are advancing c'gainst the First army from the south, must pass over much ex- tremely rough country before they can get in contact with it.

Will Be Held Next Week, to Give Loc.
 al Boards Additional Time.

Washington, Sept 24-The nation- fS. lottery, which, in measure, will determine the order of the calling of the 13,000,O00 men between IS and 45 years O. age, which registered Sep tenber 12, probab will not be held before next week. Officials had hoped to fix date late this week, but this plan is said to have been abandoned in order that additional time may be given local boards to correct errors made in assigning serial numbers to the registrants.
 | Since men between 19 and 36 will be calle5i first the drawing will have less effect upon determining the or der of the call than did that of the 1000 900 men who turned 21 before June 5 last The numbers for all the 13,000,000 men will be drawn, but youths of IS and men between 36 and 45 will not be classified until the boards have given classification to all
 
 the first to receive their question naires. In the meantime many of the 19-to-36 classes will have. been induct- ed into service.
 Reports received today by Provost Marshal General Crowder from nearly all states indicated that satisfactory progress is being made by local boards in attaching serial numbers to the registration cards, but in one or two instances miste kes by local boards have made necessary the renumbering Of the cards for all registrants un- der their Jurisdiction. No date for the drawing can be fixed until this work is completed and the serial num- bers posted and while this may be done this week, it is said tha,. General Crowder will allow several days TOT the discovery of any errors before holding the drawing.

TO KEEP THE HUN ON THE RUN

The brilliant and effective manner in which the Americans, our boys, wiped out" the strongly fortified St. Mihiel salient recently and took between 15,- GOO and 10000 prisoners sent thrill of price throughout the country. As this was the first attack of our own troops commanded by our own General Pershing. aided by French, the victory is all the more significant
 The enormous gains made by the allies recently leaves the enemy at this writing very close to the Rhine, the border of Hunland. The outlook is in- deed encouraging and certainly every farmer on the agricultural firing line will thank God and take courage"
 The Fourth Liberty Loan soon is to be offered. This is the largest loan ever asked by our own Or any other government But the American peo- pie are amply able to take it. The cause is worthy of a large loan. We now have the Hun on the run. Let us continue it till the world is secure a. gainst his attacks. The way for those who are not on the firing line to make this possible is to buy bonds. Let us loan the government the money so our and Ranch.
