LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN NOT
YET OVER.

That part of Kentucky included
within the st. Louis Federal Reserve
District now leads the list of States
and parts Of States included in the
district in, point of percentage of
quota Oversubscribed with an over
subscription of twenty-three per
cent.
kentucky's subscriptions have been
estimated at 19,676,00O, on a quota
OF $15,943,000. Subscriptions for
the st. Louis District as a whole are
little over $102,000,000, or sew
enty-eight per cent. of the quota,
which places the district at the heal
of the list of districts in point Of
percentage of quota oversubscrip-
lions.
A number of the counties seem ,c
think that when their quota is
reached they should discontinue the
campaign, but this is dead wrong, as
the activities incident to the cam
paign should not cease until mid
night May 4 1t is hoped by that time
to roll UP the geratest subscription
to the Third Liberty Loan that the
world has ever known.
Just because you have reached
your minimum quota there is no rea
son why you should not make your
| county stando uto the map as a
locality where competition is ram
pant. The best answer we can give
| to the Huns is the size of our sub
scriptions in this loan. So keep
working at it just as hard as you
can. Take Bourbon county for you!
example. There was never a let-ul
from the time the teams went t.
work soliciting until the last dollar
was turned in, and even then some
of them kept at it. Many of ths
solicitors worked at night, long after
they had disposed of their own busi
ness cares. Many of them forsoof
their regular amusements and devot
ed their entire time to the campaign
for the Liberty Loan. As a result
Bourbon county stands to-day in thu
eyes of the Liberty Loan promoter
as one of the most patriotic counties
in the State.

COUNTY FOOD ADMINISTRATOR
SOUNDS A WARNING.

The need of Wheat On The
Other Side" and the necessity of
ecOnomizing in the use of that ar
ticle in America is growing greater
day by day. Already the amount
we agreed to send across is so many
thousand bushels short that the AL
lied Armies have been compelled to
again cut down their bread ration
1t is absolutely essential that We
provide that nourishing food so nee
essary to the health, strength and
spirit of those boys who are stand
ing between us and Germany. IS
that can only be accomplished by
the most rigid economy in our homes,
this Government is asking us to still
further reduce the consumption of
wheat -four. Our Government has
made few demands, most of it's de-
sires have been made in the form Of
requests. However, so many have
either ignored or obeyed in such a
half-hearted manner, that, of a ne
cessity, these requests must soon
grow into demands. This is no time
for half-hearted action. Either we
are helping this Government with
our hands and our prayers, or con-
sciOusly or unconsciously, we are
aiding the Kaiser.
Our business has been very little
jnterferred with. No idle requests
have been made, nothing has bee1
| done or asked that was not abso-
lutely essential. The army, thu
navy, the business world and thu
home life must all work togather as
one body in order that this great
menace to the world may be over
come.
Wheat is the one great food OIL
| soldiers and our Allies need now
and every housekeeper, in order tt
help the great cause, is urged to Gu
down the consumption in every pos
sible way. No family is allowei
more than six pounds per month fol
each member of the household. NJ
one is allowed more than a thirty
days supply at one time. Thus ;
family of four would be entitled I,
only twenty-four pounds of whea
flour each thirty days. Any one
who by any means, collects more thar
a thirty-days' supply, will be deem
ed guilty of boarding. Hoarding !
one thing the Federal Food Admin
istration will not tolerate.
i Please remember that the ST
pounds per month. for each person i
the maximum, it would be far NOR
patriotic. more unselfish and NOR
honorable if only four pounds o
even less would be used.
The people of Bourbon count,
have never refused a patriotic ap
peal. Every call for money has beer
almost doubled, and, trust, thi
call for the conservation of whea
may meet with the same cheerful
response.

Food Administrator for Bourbon
County.

Boston, Dec. 30 - Reconstruction problems will occupy much of the time of the legislature which will as- semble Jan. 1. Members already have announced their intention to bring to. the attention of their fellow legislators bills on a wide variety of subjects having to do with after the war conditions. In addition six conn
 mittees created by previous Iegisla- lures, which have been Investigating as many matters will make their recOmme endations. The problems which they have sought to solve in clude the development of the water power resources of the state; the reg ulatton of the fishing industry; re- . vision of corporation taxes; reor- ganization of the educational system, and the development of the sheep in dustry.
 Metropolitan Boston will be par ticularly interested in the expected attack on street railway conditions. The last legislature placed control of the Boston Elevated System in the hands of six trustees and, since this action, car fares in Boston and the i Metropolitan district have been ad- 1 vanced from five to eight cents Re- gently, too, the Bay State Street Rail- 1 way Company, operating over nearly l 1000 miles through thickxy settled l sections north and south of Boston, 1 and which is in the hands of a re- 1 ceiver, was authorized to collect in- 1 dividual cash fares of ten cents while | selling five tickets for 35 cents. These 1 increases have aroused opposition not only on the part of many patrons but from others who are interested in re- l lieving the congested residential dis 1 tricts of Boston by influencing fam i flies to move to the suburbs. Those who approve the present arrange nent for adding to the revenues o1
 other way can they be put upon 3

 to be decided.

IreIand's Flax Crop

The flax crop is engaging the at tention of agriculturists in the north of Ireland. Flax pulling is giving em- ployment to every hand that cSa be en- gagged, and factory workers, clerks and business men are joining in this indis- pensable work. The cadet corps of the Royal Academical institute of Bel fast is also engaged in pulling fax. Before the war the price paid for flax ranged from $1.50 to S2.50 per stone. The highest price ever paid for flax was S3 per stone in 1864, during the Civil war. This year the flax supply committee has arranged to take over the whole crop at prices ranging from S7.5O to $10 per stone, according to quality. The flax will be divided into six grades.

promising, though confused by the
 many uncertainties referred to. Mon
 etary restraints will have to be care
 fully considered, since there is an un-
 usual degree of imitation in, both financial and commercial affairs. ConR- modities are upon a. hazardously high level, owing to worldwide scarcity
 and high costs of production, and
 some recessions must be expected.
 Should the declines come gradually,
 the result will be stimulating to bus mess by aiding a partial return to more normal conditions. In the agri- cultural regions there is much pros perity resulting from prevailing high prices; and in manufacturing districts the same is true, owing to high
 wages. In consequence there should be wide distribution of all the or
 dinary necessities. What is most needed is a strict conservatism in all l important business ventures, also a
 wide economy among the public at large.ss If these simple safeguards are
 carefully followed for the coming year, the effect will be to strengthen Hconfidence and pave the way for a
 safe and certain recovery.

MEAT PRODUCERS
Did FULL DUTY
Increase in American Hogs Will
Help to Meet World Fat
Shortage.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.
Government Justified in Stimulation
OF Pork Production-Sevenfo
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.
FARMERS SAVE SITUATION.

Through increased production and
conservation we will be able this year
to export seven times our pre-war
average exports of pork products.
With the heavy demands added in car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department of Agriculture and the
Food Administration are justified to-
day in our every action of stimulation
of hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be in
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
in this country supplies which will en-
able us to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency of the world. In
beef there must be a shortage in Eu.
rope, due largely to limited refrigera-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available however, will be filed by
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to ami
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the U. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle of 10,23S,000 head
and 12,441,0 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was a decrease
in sheep of $4,000 head. The indica-
tons are that. this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than s per cent. and not
more than Is per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
the average weight.
Following the request of the U. S.
Food Administration for an increase
in hog production for marketing in the
fall of 1918 and the spring of 1910 the
increase may yield not less than 1,600,-
100000 pounds more of pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
final food products would have been
impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30
1917, amounted to 903, 900 pounds
while for the corresponding months OF
1918 the dressed hog products totaled
1,277, $4,000, an increase of over 374,.
100000 pounds for the quarter.
During the same period for 1917 the
records of inspected slaughter OF
dressed beef showed 1,263, 100000
pounds as against Las 100000 pounds
for the three month period ending
| September /, this year.
