The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1918-01-10


The Times got another letter
from over at Cincinnati Tuesday.
1t was a very affectionate epistle.
II came as a secret warning to the
Democrats of the South, and we
guess we should not betray its con-
fidence, but we can't help also
sound the warning to other Demo-
Gratis. 1t was in the inoerest TO the
South.
1t said that the constitution pro-
vided that Representation in Con-
gress should be based on the num-
Der of voters from each State, and
since all the negroes in Southern
states had been DISTINGUISHED, the
South was really entitled to less
than half the Congressman she now
has. But said that the Democrats
Of the North had kept this from
being done. Now here's the secret,
it told us that if the Prohibition
amendment passed by the vote Of
the Southern states, toe Northern
Democrats would cut loose their
support and allow the Representa-
ton in Congress from the South to
be cut down.
This circular, we say came from
Cincinnati, the city that made over
last fall from day to day the nee
essary wet majority to keep Ohio
wet.
The writers of this stuff is the
biggest of fools in the world to
think that the Democrats of the
South will sell out to Northern
whiskey men. We have heads of
our own down here and they have
a little Sense left in them too.
The Clay City times. [volume] (Clay City, Ky.) 1901-current, 1918-01-10

The State Legislature convened
at Frankfort Tuesday. In the
Democratic caucus Monday, Rep
resentative Grove, the Administra-
ton candidate for Speaker, defeat
ed Claude Thomas, an original dry
man, by small majority. Both sides
are for Prohibition. The only is
sue seems to be, shall the original
drys get the credit or shall the
original vets come in at the elev-
enth hour and capture the coveted
honorsl

Financial aid for the families of

Of the Red Cross. "There Is an urgent

The Red Cross institutes consist of
a six weeks course which follows q
syllable prepared by Porter Lee Of the
New York School Of Philanthropy.
Particular emphasis is placed by
Mrs. Ufford upon the value of the
work outlined in the syllabus, not only
to relieve the stress Of war difficulties,
but to meet the needs Of reconstruc-

through scientific effort, Mrs. Ufford

NO WASTE IN OIL

Go back to the days when Penn
sylvania crude was SO barrel or
higher in 1877 and before. and gaso-
line was waste product. There was
NO market for il. Refiners were
glad to get rid Of 1t at almost any
price or even give it away. In some
instances thousands of gallons were
dumped into the streams, as the
storing OF 1t was a menace to the
works, and there was no future out
look for it, AS much Of the lighter
product as possible was left in the
kerosene, and the manufacturers
sought uses for 1t in various ways.
Conditions have reversed themselves,
gasoline is the most desirable pro-
duct of petroleum. Instead of blend
ing it with the lighter grades of
kerosene, the latter is being cut to
make more gasoline. and the gravity
OF the motive power fluid is being
reduced until 1t practically reaches
the gravity OF light kerosene. What
was waste product has become an
important article of commerce and
industry. A barrel Of oil, which in
past years lost a certain proportion
in waste, is now utilized to the last

NOTES
Pasturing Fall sown Grain

The rank growth OF fall sown
grain offers temptation to pasturing
1t too literally. This practice is al
right but care should be exercised
in pasturing 1t when the ground is
too wet. You may get the pasture
alright but at the some time do con-
siderable injury to the growing crop.
The same is likewise true OF pas
turing alfalfa and clover.
Feeding Potatoes
Yes potatoes are good stock feed.
Steamed or boiled potatoes have a
feeding value OF about pounds 20
one pound OF corn. wheat or barley.
and raw ones about 5le pounds
equals one pound OF grain.
A $50 pound hog can readily take
care OF IL to IA pounds of potatoes
daily, and for fattening should have
in addition to pounds Of grain
daily.
Growing pigs or sucking sows
should be fed about the same with
the addition OF pasture, milk or a
little tankage.
Do not cook your grain for feed
ing.
