overheard conversation between
plain unattractive middle-aged
women and soldier returning 10

acquaintance and when the woman
learned that the young man was re-
turning to camp on Saturday in

to condole with him. What a shame
not to give the poor boy another

soon had the boy so sorry for him
self that the officer was forced to
interfere, and tell the woman what
he thought OF her. The woman was
astonished that her natural SYM
pathy' should be construed as treas

and no doubt is still nursing a griev-
ance.
1t is quite true that we are not a
military nation, that for two genera
tionS we have been unaccustomed to
any but the laXest OF discipline. No
wonder these boys. for the most part
uneducated, are easily tempted, and
that women. naturally foolish and
selfish, should be the unconscious
tools OF Germany II there were
a few more OF them we should not

day. AS it is they not only have af-
fected the morale and bright hopes
OF more or our soldiers than we like
to consider but they have forced the
known as the Military Morale. which
sits constantly on these cases, and,
with the building, staff, and large in

into a cost of many thousand dol
lars 4 month, paid for by the long
suffering public.

more and more women who have
led useless lives are absorbing com

work that comes their way, still is

Kentucky to Furnish
2800 Soldiers Homesteads

Louisville, Ky, Nov. 4.-There is
at least 225,000 acres OF good land
now going to waste in Kentucky or
sufficient to furnish an eighty acre
homestead TO each OF 2S00 returning
soldiers at the end OF the war, ac-
cording to report submitted 10 IL.
p. Griffith, special agent OF the de-
partment OF the interior by the
Louisville Board OF Trade
The land with which the report
deals comprises only large tracts
easily susceptible OF reclamation
There are six tracts described in the
report, the smallest 10000 acres and
the largest 5000 acres.
The report is made in connection
with preliminary plans Of the depart
ment OF the interior to place return
ing soldiers ON the land on such
terms that they can pay for their
farms in small payments extending
over long period.
Negotiations for making the Ken
lucky tracts available for govern
HlNuN pun w llNll NOli NSS Slltih
later have provided funds have gone
far enough in only one case that the
details can be divulged. 1T is in what
is known as the Panther creek sec
ton of Kentucky. Here $4,000 acres
in one tract can be purchased at SIS
an acre and by putting in drain tile
it can be made ready for use.
According to Mr.. Griffith, the ten
tative plans laid by the department
of the interior contemplates placing
returned soldiers on the soil in every
state Of the union and also using
them as government employees after
the armies are diSbanded in making
the land upon which they will go.
ready for occupancy. To make any
OF these plans effective congress will
have to enact the necessary legisIa-
ton.

GETTING READY FOR PEACE.

There is no question that the tiihe
has come for the United states to
begin preparing for peace. We are
now so thoroughly on Il war basis
that the transition will be big, slow
and difficult matter at best. There
are almost countless problems to
be worked out-problems affecting
. the restoration OF our soldiers TO
the economic lie OF the country.
problems OF labor and capital, prob
lens Of public utilities, problems OF
domestic and foreign trade, prob
lens OF manufacturing and mining
and agriculture, OF shipping, OF
housing, OF education, of transpor-
tation. OF developing our national
resources, Of reorganizing our gov
ernmental departments, and so on
indefinitely
1t cannot be truly said that we are
as unready for peace as we were for
war, because in the big organization
We have developed for war pur-
poses, consisting OF the best brains
uf the country we have the ma
chinery at hand for tackling the
peace job. We also have the benefit
OF plans worked out by England and |
France, which have been engaged in
this was for tw oyears. The main
thing is to provide some central au-
thoritv and get down to work.
The plans are proposed at Wash
inglon. The chief difference between
them is that one would place the
responsibility in the hands OF the
executive and the other would leave
it with congress. II is hard TO say
which would work better, and per
haps the question is not worth quar-
reling about. 1t could be done eth
cr way But it will not be done III
time unless it is started quickly.

Council Defense Head
Interested in Preventing
Epidemic of Blackleg

Robert Gillian, chairman oil the
Carter County Council OF Defense
has expressed deep concern regard
ing the outbreak OF blackleg and IS
solicitious lest the disease among
calves reach the stage Of a general
epidemic.
every possible means should be
exercised in preventing the malady
from breaking out in the cattle herds
of the county cautions Mr.. Gillian.
ut is a case OF where an ounce OF
prevention is worth more .han 4
pound OF cure-alghough, it is IN
derstood, the disease may be cured II
the calves are properly vaccinatcd
before they are unable to stand or
their feet.
"The Council OF Defense is inter
ested in the matter from the view
point OF conservation Chairman
Gillian continued. Never has there
been u time in the history OF the
country when every head OF live
stock was OF greater vital import
ance than it is today The country,
the world needs every last head OF
them. On the other hand, there is
simply no excuse for losing calves
by a malady which may easily be
prevented.
Therefore. I would suggest that
all calves in the county be treat
ed with q vaccine which is known
To give positive protection against
the death of calves by blackleg. As
understand it, calves three weeks
old can be be immunized Tor per-
iod Of eighteen months and those
three months old. for life.
The prevention OF the disease"
Mr. Gillian may prove
a money-saver to cattlemen in that
the loss OF calves may in some in
stances run into the hundreds OF
dollars. consider it my duty to
call the attention OF the public to
the situation. 1t is to be hoped that
due precautions will he exercised by /.
all concerned and that they may
avoid the loss OF calves by having
taken the proper preventive meas
urc against the affliction OF their
calves with blackleg."
Carl Russell. county agent. has
received word from a blacgleg ex-
pert that he will arrive in Ardmorc
either tonight or tomorrow and will
be prepared to vaccinate calves with
an aggressive vaccine which is guar
inteed 10 immunize calves from
1lackleg during their lifetime.
