BACK THE SCOUTS UP

The Boy Scouts of America are
the governments dispatch bearers,
and they have helped in every Lib
erty and many other drives. They
have for their leader President Will
son, and many other statesmen
whom we know are capable leaders.
The Boy Scouts of America, Troop
No. 1, of Stanford, are doing good
work in this present Liberty Loan
drive and they are expecting the cit
liens of Stanford and Lincoln coun-
ty to back them up, Every boy who
sells ten tor more bonds gets a med
al awarded by the government for
service, hnd the troop in the state
selling the most gets a Presidents
Flag, which Stanford would like to
have. N9Fkin order for the Scouts
to win, sBonas from them. If
you have not been asked to buy a
bond you probably will be, and when
they do, encourage them and they
will appreciate the courtesy shown
them. One of our well-known citi-
zens said that the Boy Scout organ
ization was the best thing that was
ever started in Stanford. Now in
order that the Scouts can live up to
this statement, the citizens should
back them up, and don't forget to
buy bond when they come to you.
Do your bit and buy bond which
helps to get the kaiser's goat. =

CANADIANS GREAT SPEECHES

Lincoln county owes debt of
gratitude to Attorney J. Richard
Bush, of Lexington, for bringing TO
Stanford Sunday afternoon two dis
tingushed Canadian officers who
have both seen and felt service in
the British army. They have felt
the service, for during their good
work on the front one of them had
an arm so badly crippled that it will
be of no further service to him,
while the other had the better por-
ton of his right leg cut off by a
shell. The gentlemen are Capt. Cam
eron and Lieut.. MACPHERSON. They
came to tell of their experience in
the trenches and by it move some
Of those who have not done so TO
buy Liberty Loan Bonds. BY 2:30
o'clock the courthouse was crowded
with people, many coming from the
adjoining towns. Mr.. p NJ. McRob-
erts introduced Mr. Bush to the au-
! dience and the latter made talk Of
some ID or 20 minutes that stirred
his hearers as they had not been this
campaign. He struck straight from
| the shoulder and those who have
failed to buy bonds, and had no ex-
cuse for their failure, must have
cringed as he dealt his sledge ham
mer blows. Mr.. Bush then intro
duced Capt. Cameron, who explained
in detail as to raids and the other
work of the boys "over there" The
captain is an interesting talker and
was given perfect attention. He
was followed by Lieut.. MACPHERSON,
who was educated for lawyer and
who had enjoyed some practice he
fore he was called to the colors. He
told in a most interesting and en-
PERTAINING way all about his expert
| ence covering more than year in
France. To give his hearers an idea
of the brutality of the Germans. he
told of one of his superior officers
running across a wounded Hun and
caring for him by binding up his
wound. As the officer left he show
ed his appreciation by throwing a
bomb at him. Fortunately another
Canadian saw him do his dirty work
and was able to get the officer out
of the way before the explosion.
When he, Lieut.. MACPHERSON, was
wounded, another officer came TO his
rescue and was leaning over him
trying to staunch his flowing
wounds. A Hun saw him and fired,
the officer falling dead on the
wounded lieutenant. Lieut.. Mac
Pherson told of a number of such
incidents. He plead with the people
to stand behind the bows who have
offered their all for their country
by buving Liberty Loan Bonds. add
ing, eff you knew how the bows will
rejoice when they are told that more
than has been asked has been given.
YOU wouldn't hesitate, but you would
buy bonds until you would have 70
sacrifice something, and you would
not want to stop there" . 1t was the
concensus of opinion that three
splendid speeches had been delivered
that they will have a telling effect
on the people of this good county
that there is no longer any doubt
about the quota being disposed of
and that we will all have right to be
proud of what Lincoln county peo-
pie have done before the week ends.

BIG CROWD; BUSINESS QUIET

A good crowd attended Lancaster
court Monday but business was not
brisk in any line. There were only
a few cattle on the market and these
were seemingly not in demand. A
bunch of 400-pound heifers were
taken down at $37. A few of bet
ter class sold at about 10 1-2c per
pound. The horse and mule markets
were also slow. Good mules sold at
$3.50 to 1925 but work mules were
not in demand. Several horses sold
at 800 to $3.50.
Garrard county people are proud,
and justly so, of having "gone over
the top" selling Liberty Loan Bonds.
They have not stopped their effort,
however, but on the contrary a num-
Der of ladies were ut work on .he
streets Monday and they disposed of
number of the valuable holdings.
1t is the aim of the Garrard commit
tee to sell at least 100000 worth,
and some members of the committee
say they will not be satisfied with
less than S225,000 worth.
The seed corn problem is being
given much thought by Garrard
farmers. A carload of seed corn
has been ordered and will be divided
among many tillers of the soil. Gar
rard is a good corn county and il
would be calamity if the farmers
there should get hold of corn tina;
failed to terminate. Many of them
say they propose to use every pre-
caution. One painstaking farmer
told the !. ]. representative that he
proposed testing the seed corn he
bought, which isn't bad idea.
There was less politics being talk.
ed Monday than in years. Democrat:
seem to be satisfied with their rep
resentatives in the Senate as we'll n,
in Congress and have no desire tC
make change. A well posted pol
itician told the writer that he was
confident that Hon. Harvey Helm
would have no opposition and that
he really hoped he would not. "Har
