WHEREAS, The material needs of the
Government for the successful prosecution of

the Government is the property Of the people.
This can be reached by taxation or by volunteer
contribution. Both are necessary to assure sue
cess. In addition to the payment of taxes i'm
posed by the nation at this time each citizen
should be willing to practice every character of
self-denial Our smaller savings can best be
invested in War Savings Stamps. The people of
this Commonwealth are asked to invest in these
stamps. Similar allotments have been made to
other States, and the President has called upon
the people of the various States to indicate their
willingness to practice the patriotic self-denial
this year. This State has always responded to
every call, and feel assured in this instance it
will not be found lacking.
THEREFORE, /, A. o. Stanley, Cover
nor of Kentucky, hereby proclaim Friday, June
18th, 1918, as WAR SAVINGS DAY, for the
State of Kentucky, upon which day all persons
shall give their pledges for War Savings Stamps

THE DOCTOR AWAY FROM
HOME WHEN MOST NEEDED

People are often very much
disappointed to find that their
family physician is away from
home when they most need his
services. Diseases like pain in
the stomach and bowels, collie and
diarrhoea require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could
be procured or a physician sum-
moned. The right way is to keep
at hand bottle of Chamberlain's
Collie and DiarahOea Remedy. No
physician can prescribe better
medicine for these diseases. By
having It in the house you escape
much pain and suffering and all
risk. Buy it now; it may save life.

The President of the United States
has called upon the loyal men and
women Of America to pledge them
selves to save for victory. He has
issued an earnest appeal to all Amer
leans to buy War Savings Stamps as
regularly as possible, investing in this
form Of security the money saved
through avoiding needless expendi
lures.
"The 28th of June ends this special
period Of enlistment in the greatest
volunteer army of production and say,
ing here at home. MAY THERE BE
NONE UNENLISTED ON THAT
DAY."
What loyal American will refuse to
respond to this appeal issued by the
executive head of this nation and the
commander-in-chief of our armed
forces?
We have the opportunity to enlist
in this volunteer army of production
and saving" In Germany it is a mat
ter of compulsion. The iron hand of
the German autocracy forces it harshly
upon the German people, depriving
them not merely of Injuries, bot of the
barest necessities of life. We are ask
ed in America to voluntarily postpone
our needless luxuries so that our SOL
diers and sailors may not lack their
necessary equipment. What the Ger
man nation does under rigid compul-
sion, certainly Americans will do in a
mild way voluntarily. 1t is unthink-
able that there is a man, woman or
child in America who will refuse to
sign the pledge to save and to invest
a portion of the savings in War Saw
ings Stamps.
We must respond to the Presidents
solemn appeal-we must sign the
pledges, not because we feel forced to,
but because it is an opportunity for us
to help win the war. The pledges
should be signed cheerfully, willingly,
| gratefully.
/ When the war is over and the period
| wisdom and the soundnesS of the War
| Savings movement become strikingly

the history of the world, and this

PHEASANT EGGS
BOUGHT BY STATE
Exclusive Propagation Work
Will Be Undertaken by
Hatching Process

Eleven thousand pheasant eggs
have been contracted for by the
State Game Commission and will be
distributed as fast as received to the
State Game preserves and through
game wardens to persons interested
in propagating pheasants so that
they can have them Matched. The
bulk of these eggs will come from
Bucks county where there are extern
sive holdings of pheasants and it is
believed that with care and cooper
alton of sportsmen valuable work
in propagating the bird can be
done. Such experiments have been
tried in years gone by but it is be-
lieved that better results will be OBJ
tanned as a result of experience.
The reports coming to the Game
Commission offices from wardens
and nature lovers ten OF large fiocks
of wild turkeys which seem to have
survived the severe winter better
than expected and to have appeared
in regions where they have not been
observed for years. Some of the
flocks are believed to be part of the
progeny of wild and tame turkeys
which were liberated in the last few
years. The discovery of so many
turkeys was a gratifying surprise as
IT had been feared that the birds had
been hard hit by the weather. The
reports on quail and deer and beaI
are all favorable.
Contracts are being placed BY
game officials for pheasants for de.
livery next year. The birds are be.
ing looked up and it is believed that
some valuable additions to the
states game may be obtained. There
are hopes of securing some quail. but
owing to the demand for them in
this part of the country and the un
settled conditions in Mexico. coupled
with federal regulations. it is by nc
means certain that any shipments
of large size can be bought. Penn

To Teach War Cookery
ATTRACTIVE RECEIPTS
Mrs Kate Brow Vaughn

Conservation

There has been more written and
thought about food in the last three
years than in the whole of the fifty
preceding this period. Women have
been more or less interested in the
question of food. how to prepare it
and how to serve it, but in our gem
Grafton 1t has not gone much further
than that. To-day, however. the
vital question is, what does IL cost?"
The women of Pennsylvania have
always been good cooks, but the de-
termining factor in the food has
largely been whether or not the hus-
band and children found it pleasant
to taste. and If it filed that gas
tronomic function, or If the guests
were complimentary and she earned
the reputation for herself of being
an excellent hostess, she did not
quarrel with the prices. So we doubt
If there is much to teach about the
good things" but within the last
three years, we have awakened to
the fact that TO have too many good
things of the old type is lacking
in patriotism; that it might even be
dishonest to go on having these
good things If the preparation of
these dishes required material need
ed for our soldiers and allies. The
past few months since we became
personally interested in the world
! war, we have awakened to the fact
that our future peace and safety de-
pends upon normal food supply,
not only for our brave soldier boys.
but for our allies as well. The
methods employed by the women of
the United States will be a big de-
termining factor in this great crisis.

of Europe have been for the most
part barren for some time, that in
