This is a period of unusual infia-

WOMEN POLICE IN MUNITIONS
SHOPS

A distinctive wartime development
in English industry has been the es-
tablishment of women police forces in
| factories where women are employed
They have multifarious duties, and
| perform them very effectively, accord
ing to reliable information to the De.
partment of Labor.
The women police began their ca
reer in the summer of 1916, when il
became evident that further measures
were NEEDED for the supervision of wo-
men in munitions work than had been
adopted up to that time.
The women police examine pass
ports, check the workers as they enter
the factories, search for such contra
band articles as matches, cigarettes,
and alcohol, patrol the factory neigh
borhood, and assist the police court
magistrates.
The patrol is a highly important
feature of their service, for many of
these plants are located in lonely
spots, and practically all of them are
going full blast night and day. Even
within the factory Enclosures, the po-
licewomen are needed, for these are
in some instances miles long, and
women making explosives must often
work in isolated huts at long dis
tances from other structures.
So valuable has the work of the
polcewomen proved that their reten-
ton in industry after the war, so long
as conditions necessitate the employ
ment of women under present cond-
tons or conditions approximately
similar, is fully expected.

"LEST WE FORGET"


Wednesday. 25th of September, at
Beechwood Park, marks a day very
dear to the heart of the old soldier,
1.-The reunion of the 10th and 10th
Kentucky Regiments"
Sometime ago, a reference was
made in the Ledger Let we forget, -
with a few remarks regarding our
dear old soldier boys.
Looking back, the writer thought of
the last reunion attended. The spirit
of these soldier boys is wonderful
Who but themselves kept singing
the patriotic songs even through all
our times of peace?
A visitor from large city, friend
OF the writer, remarked, 81 do not un.
derstand that Maysville is not enter.
tanning these boys" and then related
Just how they had conveyances, etc
in their city.
Then, told of how through all the
years the courtesies extended by the
owners of Beechwood Park to the
boys in blue.
Still dear friends we might show
cur appreciation of the boys in blue
so mfuch more than we do. Could
you imagine the boys in khaki being
treated with such Indifference in the
future. No! No doubt great respect
is felt by all for the old soldiers, but
it is the expression of it that the writ
er appeals to you. Just your presence
and the hearty handshake means SO
much to them.
An appeal was made last year for
all the boys in khaki that were here
TO be present There was Just one
though there were many here at that
time.
Could not the Community Chorus
delight them with a few songs?
Looking back again l must first
tell you it's not the old soldier finds
anything lacking. They are so hap
ply to be with brother soldiers. They
just come in those big gates off the
buses of various counties "holdin
hands" with their wives but oh some
so feeble. You can judge by talk and
manners that many have waited sc
patiently for this one day in their
lives to meet again.
OF those that were there, could you
ever forget the tall preacher soldier
from Fleming county with the big
voice that wouldn't be still and with
his staff that reminded one of the pa
triarhs of old?
Last, but not least is the splendid
support of Mrs. d. Hook who was the
proud mother of the one khaki clad
soldier there.
The ranks are thinning,
If the new soldier is feted, why not
the old?
To those with the ability to do
thigs, why not pledge the motto:
1--WE have not forgotten"

SPANISH OLIVE OIL TO RELIEVE
PRESENT FAMINE

Madrid-With the publication of
the Spanish royal decree just issued
authorizing the export of 100000 900
kilos of olive oil, of which half will go
to North and South America, there is
promised reliefe from the famine In
that product. The olive oil shortage
has grown worse and worse since the
great war started.
The agreement on the part of Spain
to export this quantity of oil is part of
the arrangement for a credit in Spain
of 100000 which Washington has
been working on for the last six
months and which will probably be
liquidated with cotton bills.
1t is expected that the importation
of the Spanish oil will bring prices to
a more reasoable level than has OBJ
tanned in many months, and If impor-
tations on this scale can be kept up
prices should remain somewhere near
normal for the remainder of the year

In whose cup?

Yours or the soldiers?
Are you going to save sugar or
are you going to waste it?
Are you going to use the smallest
amount of sugar possible, or are you
going to continue to use sugar as
you did in the days before the war?
Saving sugar here means sugar
over there, and ships to carry it,
from here to there.
You probably have heard that
there is no shortage of sugar, and
that the raw sugar output is as big,
as, if not bigger than ever, and some
one has told you that there is no
need of saving sugar. This is the
most sidious sort of German propa-
banda because it is partly true and
partly false.
The shortage in sugar in this coun-
try is not due to any shortage in SUI
gar crop, but to a shortage of ships.

| Seventy-five per cent. of the sugar
used In this country has to be car
ried here in ships. These same ships
are needed to transport our troops,
our munitions, and the food for the
Allies and our soldiers and sailors,
to France Part of these sugar car
rying ships have been transferred to
more important carrier service. This
has resulted in a largely lessened i'm
port tonnage of sugar and this means
shortage of sugar here.
Our soldiers and sailors and the
Allies must be supplied with sugar.
That supply must come out of our
limited supply here.
No law has been asked to COM
pei the individual to apportion his
supply of sugar in sensible, logical
and unselfish manner.
The Food Administration merely,
ASKS you to save.
What are you going to do about
it?
