BULLETIN No. &c
Issued to All Federal Food Admins
traitors in Kentucky and Wheat
FlOur NillcrS

On Saturday, July goth, there was
issued from this office Bulletin No. So
This bulletin established a shipping
value of wheat to be paid to the
growers at all points in Kentucky,
and stated that provisions had been
made to see to it that this value was
carried through in the case of all
sales. Bulletin No SO has been sub
mitted to, and has the approval of the
United States Grain Corporation.
Knowing that many crops OF wheat
have been taken to mill by growers,
and dealers have paid for them less
than the value provided in this bull
letin, but with the understanding that
when the price was established the
balance of the payment would be
made, should be glad to hear that
these settlements had taken place at
all mills. The Grain Corporation will
have feldmen Immediately in Ken
lucky to adjust unfair prices in buy
ing, and those purchasers who have
paid for wheat in accordance with the
Grain Corporations shipping value
will not be subject to criticism.

INSTRUCTIONS
ARE GIVEN
GRAIN DEALERS
Bulletins Issued From State Food
Administrators Office Show That
Price For Wheat Formerly
Announced Here Is
Correct.

The attention of grain dealers and
farmers is called to the Following bull
letins issued by Fred NJ. Sackett, Fed
eral Food Administrator for Ken
lucky.
In paragraph of Bulletin No, 3D.
Mr.. Sackett assumes that the lowest
freight rate from this section to New
port News is Ice, whereas the freight
rate from this point to Newport News
is .141O. 1t will therefore be seen that
the statement inserted in last Satur-
days papers by me, giving $2.16 as
the lowest price which should be paid
for No. 2 wheat delivered in Maysville
and $2.12 the lowest price which
should be paid for No. delivered in
Maysville is correct. Those purchas-
ing wheat will do well to observe
strictly the requirements of these bull
letins.

Our Burden Of

This IL old stun. All opponents of
human advance have always used 1t.
When the American school system
was being built. the mossbacks used
to sing this same old song. A school
house would cost a terrible sum OF
money. It could not be paid for ten
or twenty years. 1t was burden

build schoolhouses. and were never

American Military

In the American Civil War. the

Germans have not come from SUPER

Outside Working
Hours

The movement for shorter work
Ing day has become very wide spread.
It Is possible that our entire indus
trial system may be organized on an
eight hour basis before long. But It
1t Is pretty sure that the man who ex-
poets any considerable success will
have to keep his brain working dur
Ing some Of his Off hours.
The ambitious fellow gets contra
diltory advice. One authority tells
him to quit thoughts Of work when
he quits the shop. Otherwise he will
lose sleep. become a prey to worry
and fail to get his best efficiency.
On the other hand. there are very
few business men that do not solve
many Of their problems in the quiet
hours away from the office. The
artisan or clerical worker who quits
all thought of work ON leaving the
shop may live . comfortable and y
happy life. But he ID not likely to
get very far. The fellows who ars
really going ahead are using some
Of their spare time to fit them
selves for larger work.
The number Of people who are
working during off hours for . lars-
or future - more than people real
ise. A host Of them are taking cor
respondsnce courses. atatending eve
ming schools. or classes In Y. N. G.
A. organisations. and Boys and Girls
Clubs. The young people Of Logan
who are using their hours outside
OF work purely for sport and pleas
ure may not realise how many Of
their friends are quietly preparing
for larger futures.
II IL one of the arguments against
the long working day. that It leaves
people 10 physically weary that they
cannot do any quiet homo planning
about their work. or engage in pre-
paratory study for . larger future.
II u foolish for people to fret and
worry. But most earnest people do
q lot Of quiet thinking in their off
