Big CAMPAIGN TO
Open NOVEMBER #
Drive For $17O,5O0,OOO By
Combined Welfare
Agencies.

A campaign by the united Y. NJ.
c. A, Y. w. G. A, National Catholic
War Council, Jewish Welfare Board,
American Library Association, War
Camp Community Service and The
Salvation Army, which has for its
aim the raising of a fund of $17O,-
100000 to be used solely for the
comfort, entertainment and in every
way possible safeguarding the NOR
ale of our soldier boys now and here
after to join the colors. This work
Is absolutely necessary, as much so
as the raising of money for guns, mu-
nitions, clothing and food for the
army.
The Government has no way to
provide all of the things so essential
in soldiers life, to ease and light
en- the daily grind, in order that he
be a good individual fighting ma
chine, which he must be, to beat
back the hordes of fighting Huns.
This combination of all of the Army
Welfare Workers, Sects and Relig-
ions, is the happiest and wisest move
made by our people here at home
since the great war was thrust upon
us. No one need fear that every dol
lar will be rightly accounted for, the
greatest and best men and women
of the nation are behind and at the
head of this movement. Ask your
boy who is in the service, what he
thinks of the organization that fur
nishes him the letter head and en-
velOpe upon which you see the red
triangle, across which are the let
tiers "Y. M. G.. A." the blue triangle
with the letters "Y. w. c. A." or
the blue shield and white cross with
tx. c." thereon, or maybe some of
the other devices or insignia, and up
on getting his answer, we are more
than certain that you will donate
whatever sum you are called upon
for in this great drive.
Kentucky's quota in this drive is
$1,77O,SOO, we are in the 3rd dis
trict' composed of Daviess, Mclean,
Ohio, Hancock, Breckenridge and
Muhlenburg counties, the districts
quota is SCI, $40, and Ohio county's
quota is $4,495.50.
We hope to be able to tell you
in our next issue what the quota of
each voting precinct amounts to, and
we also wish to urge it upon every
individual within our borders to hold
yourself in strict readiness to both
work and give, to the end that our
plain, patriotic ana christian duty
may be fully and freely perform

LATEST PEACE NEWS.

The latest development in the in
ternational peace parley is the Pres
ident's note, made public yesterday,
which seems to open the way for real
peace negotiations. He announces
that he will undertake to arrange
with the Allies definite program for
formally considering the whole ques-
ton. The President agrees to nego-
tiate with the German government,
provided the voice of the German
people is heard, but plainly postu-
lates that if we must deal with the
German autocracY the Allies will de-
mand unconditional surrender. AT
last the way seems about to be open
ed for a definite discussion of terms
of peace.

MOTHER-IN-IAW TROUBLE.

Since the remotest ages of record
ed time the mother-in-law question
has baffled philosophers and disturb
ed families. II is a question ever
ancient and ever new. May be the
son-in-law is sometimes to blame
but there is such fixed and inerad-
icatable prejudice against mother
in-law that IL is difficult for them to
get justice before the court. in
which the mother-in-law equation en-
tiers. is that of Bonnie Long and
Mrs. Sarah Jane Stewart, of Manda.
II seems that mother-in-law Sarah
Jane lives with son-in-law Bonnie,
and the expected happened diff
ference of honest opinion. and Sarah
Jane prays the court to put legal re-
straint on Bennie's unrestricted free
dom to use language forbidden by the
ordinary rules of politeness, to ones
wife's mother. We have not formed
nor expressed such an opinion as
would legally bar us from sitting on
the jury in Bennie's trial. but we will
venture an opinion, that because of
the traditional prejudice against
mothers-in-law, that a jury will look
on his transgressions with an eye of
allowance.

WORKING DOUBLESHIFT.

Mr.. Fred Tinsley. of the Nocreek
country, is right up close to the head
of the class when it comes to conserv-
ing food supply to win the war. In
pounds of frying chickens, number
of laying hens and dozens of eggs,
Mr.. Tinsley's saving amounts in the
aggregate to a sum worth while.
Some time in the spring he set a steel
trap on a post in his field, where
chicken hawks were accustomed to
sit while surveying the neighborhood
and caught large hawk the first day
the trap was set. Removing the hawk
late in the afternoon, he set the trap
ready for the next day, and early the
next morning found that owls used
by night the post hawks used by day,
and beside an uncounted number of
hawks Mr.. Tinsley has during the
summer caught "a owls. The trap
went along uncomplainingly work
ing a night and day shift, catching
hawks by day and owls by night,
with the result mentioned Mr.. Tins
ley says, that counting the number of
chickens, birds and rabbits, he has
saved in the country's meat supply,
and making due allowance for the
number of eggs saved through the
pullets rescued from the hawks and
owls, entities him to fair measure
of credit for practicing food conserva-
ton.

IN GRIP
OF THE DEADLY FLU

While the whole country is in the
vice-like grip of the epidemic of in
fiuenza, perhaps no other small town
in the entire country has suffered
town of Rockport, in the southern
part of the county. The first death
from epidemic occurred there Oc-
tober 8, since which time 20 other
deaths have occurred in the two
Rockport voting precincts, and more
than one hundred and fifty other
cases now exist. The situation is made
worse on account of a scarcity of doc
tors and nurses. Volunteer nurses,
despite the natural caution about
coming in contact with persons af-
fiicted with the disease, have respond
ed nobly, but still the number is not
adequate. There were six burials of
Rockport victims Tuesday, and the
crisis. does not yet appear to be pass
ed. The dead are:
Clayburn Wilson. Georgia Tiche-
nor, Bert Simpson, Mrs. Minnie Heck,
Maurine Harrel, Annie f. Her, j. A.
Howard, Sr., Ova Smith, William

AN ABJECT APOLOGY.

We hereby take back, disyow and
abjectly apologize for all the hints
innuendos, intimations and mean in
situations. we made in this sheet last
week of, about and in regard to,Fluke
Tinsley and his hunting pals, down at
the mouth of Grassy. The motive,
reason and cause of this apology
arises out of and because Of sump-
tuous feast which we were invited to,
and did share and partake of, at
twelve o'clock noon, standard admin
istration time, Saturday, in the home
of the said Tinsley. OF course we are
indebted to Mrs. Tinsley for the ex-
cellent cooking, but Fluke brought
in the squirrels.

through the mails.
This is the first letter either one
of us has written for a long time. We
have been very busy. This war is no
joke. You will remember what Sher-
man said about war. Sherman was
right. We are writing this letter on
German paper with a German pel It
will probably be mailed In an Ameri-
can envelope. Pos and consider our
selves lucky, and believe our luck will
continue. Say, We captured a Ger
man paymaster, and he had 10000
marks on him. We are sending you
some German money, so don't get in
a squabble about it. Equal between
you, and show it to our friends. We
are very proud to be fighting for a
couple of fathers like you. We are al
so sending some photographs of Ger
mans we took off of them. Plenty of
Germans got right down on their
knees and prayed for us not to kill
them. We could write more but you
know you have read about it in the
papers, so we will close.

PEOPLE AND PEOPLE.

There are people and people in the
world, and newspaper learns good
many of the ins and outs of them.
We received two letters in the same
mail a few days ago that illustrates
some differences in people. We had
sent to each a statement of his sub
scription account, and these are the
replies:

appeared on the margin of the state
