Committee on Arrangements

The Mt. Vernon and Brodhead
fairs have been called off for
1913 on account of the war.
This does not ssay that the fairs
are dead, by any means. If there
was any good reason for calling
off the fairs, we have not heard
of it, as the fairs are supposed
to stimulate agricultural and
stock raising interests, the very
thing the government wants
now, to help win the war, but it
has been done and it is up to
every one to accept it as being
right during these war times.
The directors of both efairs care
fully considered the question and
to show to the people that they
possessed the right kind of a
spirit and as some thought would
possibly be little unpatriotic tC
hold a fair, both organizations
simply called off for this year,
but remember if conditions are
different there will be fair as
usual in both towns in 1919.

ATTENTION FARMERS.

Those farmers who have sheep
should take notice that the U. S.
Government is buying the wool
of this nation and hae a plan
which will enable the farmer to
get every cent that it is worth.
The licened wool buyer is al
lowed i cts per ID for buying
wool for the Government. His
license compels him to keep
proper records and to handle
wool, he must comply with the
law or instructions.
The grower of wool should
ship his wool to the nearest IL
censed wool buyer and instruct
him to pay for the wool in accor.
dance with the Government plan.
The buyers duty is to grade the
wool properly and remit the ship
per Sd Of the value. Later
when the U. S. takes over and
grades the wool, the final settle.
ment will be made. Under this
arrangement good wool will
bring the farmer net about 78 cts
per 10. We should get our wool
together here in Rockcastle
County and ask for a government
inspector to come and take il
over and not ship our wool to
other wool buyers to speculate
upon.

MOTORISTS TAKE NOTICE.


The new automobile law which
became effective yesterday is one
of the best laws passed by the
last legislature. 1t cuts out glar
ing headlights and the abomina
BILE mufler cut out. The synop-
sis of the law is as follows:
State Headlight and Muffler
Cutout Law becomes effective
June 20, 1918.
Don t drive with glaring head
lights in town or country.
Don't drive with muffler cut
out any time or anywhere.
Don't leave your car standing
without required lights, both
front and rear.
Don't use spotlight unless di-
rected upon road in front of car
not more than 80 feet.
Obey the law. Better be safe
than sorry.
We trust that, our officers will
see to to it that this law Is rig
idly enforced. The glaring head
lights make 1t dangerous to try
to pass and the obnoxious cutout
is an unnecessary nuisance.
Don't overlook the the head
and tail lights of your car, the
law makes this of equal impor-
tance and especially so when
left standing on the street. Ford
owners must use their oil lamps
front and rear and other cars
must keep their lamps burning.
Bad connection or worn out bat
terry is no excuse. This law will
be observed and enforced in
every 0place of any consequence
and there is no reason or ex-
cuse why it should not be as
rigidly looked after In the small
er towns.
