SOFT DRINKS UNDER BAN

An order was issued by the State
Board of Health Friday requiring all
soft drink stands and saloons to
close their doors at 6 80 o'clock each
evening until the influenza ban had
been lifted.
While the situation throughout the
State is improved it has been found
that the epidemic as a whole is very
serious.
BARRIERS are now by order of the
State Board required to wear "flu"

LABOR NEEDED TO SAVE
CAMP KNOX FOR STATE
Emergency Causes Summary Notice
From Authorities at
Washington

State wide calls have gone out to
save Camp Henry Knox at Stithton
for Kentucky. The authorities al
Washington have served notice on
Kentucky that if they cannot pro-
duce the necessary laborers to COM
plete the work at Stithton before
cold weather sets in the permanent
artillery camp, representing an in
vestment of probably $2O,OOO,OOO,
will be withdrawn from the state en-
tirely.
Immediately upon the receipt OF
these advices the state officials got
busy and are sending out calls to all
individuals and business organiza-
tons, pointing out the emergency
and frankly declaring that if Ken
lucky carpenters and laborers do
not volunteer for the work, forci-
BILE draft must be made effective at
once on non essential industries.
Ultimatum Issued!
Work at Camp Knox has dragged
for lack of men and winter time is
approaching with thousands of the
soldiers still in tents at Camp Taylor
and West Point. The ultimatum is
that barracks to hold not less than
10000 men and stables for $4,000
animals must be completed by Dec.
l. 1t is the belief of the Kentucky
authorities that even more is posi-
BILE and that enough workmen can be
secured to erect buildings that will
accommodate possibly $4,000 men with
stable accommodation for 10000 ami
mails. This is the present patriotic
determination.
Pratt Dale, Federal Director of
the United States Employment Ser
vice Immediately issued public no
tice, sent broadcast throughout Ken
lucky, telling just what the state
was up against. He called meeting
of various interests, including John
Griffiths & Son Company, builders
of the camp for the government,
Major W. H. Radcliffe, constructing
quartermaster in charge, and organ
lied an intensive campaign that is
destined to reach into every city and
hamlet in Kentucky.

sALEsMANsHlP VALUE
IN PRINTING

Printing with craftsmanship value
is produced through cooperation and
mutual understanding. The person
atty of the firm must find express
sion in the firms stationery and pub
licity literature, or this personality
might as well not be. The modern
buyer eventually spends his money
where he has confidence in the seller,
and the only means of establishing
confidence is through the printed
page. How important it is then that
the merchant and the printer coope-
rate to the end that desire may be
created, confidence established and
sales effected through the silent
salesman.
Merchants and manufacturers
should find such a printer, and hav-
ing found him, stick to him. With a
fair measure of cooperation he can
accomplish wonders. 1t pays well to
get hold of a printer who grasps the
object of the customer and puts per-
sonality into type form.-George f.
Nav, in The American Printer

Authority For Draft.

that calls for immediate action. I'm
der the authority given us from
Washington if the men in sufficient
numbers do not volunteer their SER
vices we must draft them from the
non essential industries. 1t is up to
the employers of laborers through
out Kentucky Immediately to dis
place men in their employment with
women and recommend their EN-
ployes to enter the service of Camp
Knox"
Major w. II. Radcliffe, construct
ing quartermaster at Camp Knox,
has also appealed to the people of
Kentucky to volunteer for service.
every nail you drive" says Major
Radcliffe in a ringing message to
workmen, "every brick you lay,
every bit of real work done, will add
to the growing load around the
Kaiser's neck. The war won't wait"
1 Women Appealed To.
Women are asked to take a lead
ing part in the campaign for volun-
teers to prepare the quarters for
soldiers. "If it is not your own son
who must be housed at Camp Knox
this winter" the call reads, 'it is the
boy of some other mother-all OF
them training to protect our liberty
in the great fight for freedom. Pro-
vided the men do not volunteer for
this well paid and necessary patri-
otto work, it is the duty Of every
loyal Kentucky woman to report
them to the nearest United States
Employment Service just as they
would a Hun spy or an army slack
err"
It is to the women of the state to
show the men that it is their duty
to volunteer for work at Camp Knox
and to take their places during their
absence.

in the construction Of Camp Knox
