YOU COUNT IN ONE WAY ONLY.

Never, so much as now, has the in
dividual counted for so little.
Individual rights, individual priv
ileges, individual responsibilities
have given way to the greater con-
sideration, the welfare of the people
as whole.
For nations, not peoples or races.
have taken in hand the destinies of
the world. The individual has been
pre-emptorily put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. 1t is not for any
one man to say.
The Kaiser soon is to realize this.
But there is one way in which you
can count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
storm-tossed world.
You can make your little individ-
ual contribution to the cause of free
dom, of world democracy, of perma-
nent peace
You can buy Liberty Bond
You may otherwise be subordinat-
ed, effaced, shunted into compare
tive Oblivion and made to feel that
you no longer count.
But here you can take your little
place in the sun.
It's a chance of a lifetime; the
chance of yours.

RECORD YEAR FOR CANNING IN
Dictated.

Reports from manufacturers of
canning supplies who have conform
ed to recommendation of the United
States Department of Agriculture in
making of equipment indicate that
the interest in home canning is in
creasing rapidly. There is a wide
spread demand for more equipment
that will save labor and time in can
ming. 1t is estimated that there has
been during the year a SO per cent.
increase in the number of firms man
ufacturing home canning supplies,
an average increase of Is per cent. in
the quantity of equipment sold, and
an increase of 800 per cent. in the
demand for rubbers of standard
quality. Some of the departments
canning instructions have been pub
lished by outside parties in 10 differ
ent languages and more than 100
business concerns have reprinted the
directions for free distribution to
their employees and customers.

ENCOURAGING News.

A cablegram has been received
from Harvey ID. Gibson, Red Cross
Commissioner to France, advising
that the French War Department has
officially adopted for the use in all
Franch hospitals American Red Cross
standard, surgical dressings.
One of the factors entering into
this decision was the excellent condi-
ton in which Red Cross surgical
dressings arrive in France.
This Information will be a source
of great satisfaction to the loyal
army of American women who have
so painstakingly manufactured mil
lions OF surgical dressings.

The Registration.

The work of tabulating the re-
turns from the registration of women
of Bourbon county is proceeding as
rapidly as possible and may take a
few days more before it is complete.
The work is in charge of Mrs.
E. F. Clay, Chairman, Miss Mary
Fithian Hutchcraft, Secretary, and
several assistants, at headquarters in
the Bourbon-Agricultur Bank build
ing at Broadway and Main.
The registration developed the fact
that nearly one hundred white wo-
men in the county can be classed as
illiterates, being unable to read or
write. Steps will be taken to remedy
this. Night classes may also be
opened for young women who wish to
take a business course to fit them
selves for business career.
Another feature developed in the
registration is that North Middle
town, Shawhan, Kiserton and the
Palmer School districts registered a
full one hundred per cent. of their
female population.
All registrars who have not yet
handed in their cards are requested to
do so at once, in order that the work
of tabulation may be completed this
week. The work of registering the
colored women of the city and county
was begun yesterday by committees
under the direction of Prof. F. M.
Wood, Chairman, and Parthenia
Hickman, Secretary. At a meeting
held in the court house Saturday af-
ternoon thes committees were given
their cards and assignments to diff
ferent parts of the city. The work of
registration was we'll under way yes
terday and will be carried forward
as rapidly as can be done.

DOMESTIC SERVICE FOR THE
PHYSICALLY DISQUALIFIED.

About Is per cent. of the men sent
to Louisville by local boards to be
indicted into limited service for
duty as clerks to the boards were re-
tanned by the army service, Maj.
Henry Rhodes said, on his return
from Louisville, where he took COM
mand of his new force.
Domestic service men grade phys
ically between general and limited
service, and do not come within the
purview of local boards.
The fact that so many men CLASH
bed by local boards for military SER
vice were taken over by the army
caused considerable comment, as it
was thought they were found physi-
cally fit for overseas duty and held.

course, be a sad blow to those Rep
resentatives and Senators who. for
one reason or another, can't make
speeches, but who find this a conven-
lent device for giving their constit-
uents the impression that they are
causing the halls of Congress to re-
sound with their oratoTy. Perhaps
better scheme would be to put
heavy war tax on this use Of the
Record. =
