Are Doing Some Good Road Work.
Louis ]. Padberg and j. R. Jack
son are doing some good work on a
piece of road extending from the Pad
berg place to Willow creek, south Of
Lexington. These men have been do
ing this work voluntarily, just as they
had time from their other farm du-
ties. They are using the Padberg
caterpillar and dragging two road
scrapers Mr.. Jackson is a master
hand when 1t comes to directing a
road scraper, and seems to thorough
ly understand the proper way of
grading up road. People who have
gone over this work pronounce it ex-
cellent. The road Immediately packs
and becomes firm is properly graded
to the center so that it drains and the
water is carried off. They have fixed
up about two and half miles of the
road and will put some five miles in
shape II they find time to do the
work. The caterpillar is proving
the proper power for moving the
scrapers and the road should be in
good shape the entire season by look
ing after the filling of holes when
they appear.

Mrs. ]. l.. Yeager Receives Letter
From Son Ralph Who Is Now
In the United States Navy.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mrs. J. L. Yeager from her
son Ralph who is now in the Navy.
Ralph enlisted several months ago,
shortly after the declaration of war.
December 26, 1917.
Dear Mother:
Well, Christmas has passed and we
sure had great time. For dinner
that day we had turkey, mashed
spuds, dressing, asparagus, pie, cake,
bread and coffee.
In the afternoon the ships crew re-
ceived Red Cross package. In my
package l received a box of candy, a
knife, stationery and pencil, bar of
soap and trumpet kazoo, which is a
kind Of whistle. There was also a
pack Of post cards. Believe me, all
the boys were tickled to get their
packages.
For entertainment all kinds Of
singing, music and dancing, but the
best of all, mother, was this: There
was collection taken up among the
boys and we raised a little over fif-
teen hundred dollars. This money
was used to buy the poor children
clothes and presents. Then we had
about two hundred of them come on
the ship and we gave them big tur-
key dinner, and had all kinds of
amusement for them. We had the
ship decorated in fine shape.
would like to tell you more about
the people and the country around
here but we can't write anything like
that while on this side.
We haven't received any mail for
sometime but are expecting some
most any day.
I haven't received a letter from
you for almost two months. Maybe
you haven't written. l wish you
would send me big box Of home
made candy. If you do send anything
send it by parcel post and I'll be sure
to get it. Goodbye till you hear from
me again.

BESSIE BARRISCALE

Bessie Barriscale plays twin sisters
in a new Triangle play, "The Snarl,
produced under the supervision OF
Thomas H. Ince, which will be shown
at the Star theater Tuesday and Wed
nesday.
For continuous suspense and per-
lection of the mystifying dual role
this play stands out as a screen gem.
Miss Barriscale has never created
finer character studies than the twin
sisters, one of noble, inspirational
charm and the other frivolous crea-
ture without soul.
The story, which is by Leona Hut
ton and Lambert Hillyer, concerns
Helen Dean, who on the eve Of her
operate debut is crippled. Her sis
ter. Marion, a vain, selfish girl, is sub
stituted to act the part, while Helen

scenes. Intoxicated with praise and
the admiration of men, Marion ig-
nores all dictates Of conscience and
morality and pursues course that
involves the destinies of her sister, a
young millionaire and his secretary.
Charles Gum is leading man for
the star, and Howard Hickman, Ag-
gle Herring, Thomas Guise and j.
Barney Sherry form the supporting
company. The production was d.
rected by Raymond B. West, with art
supervision by Robert Brunton.

LET'S HAVE A MEMORIAL II
BOURBON COUNTY BOYS.


1t has been suggested that since
the big billboard in the court house
yard has seemingly served it's pur-
pose in advertising the War Savings
Stamps Campaign and the Honor
Roll, it now be converted into a
memorial in honor of the boys from
Paris and Bourbon county who are in
the army and navy service.
The suggestion is one worthy of
serious consideration. The billboard
has fulfilled the purpose for which
it was originally erected. It is not
an ornament by any means. Now
let's have the names of all the Bour-
bon county boys placed on another
Honor Roll" where it can be seen
every day. In other places all over
the country this is being done. Why
not in Paris?

Bisbee daily review., 1918-03-10

CTS as well as housewives to give pub li..i,y to tested recipes. The large c.acker manufacturers of the country have already devised means Of using substitutes and are making Liberty and Victory crackers and cakes.
 Many people do not realize that the grUcer is helpless in so far as chang ing rules is concerned, and believe that be is profiting by the rule requir- nS the sale of substitutes. Grocers ar, restricted to a fixed profit on some items, and their selling prices on all gr0t cries are based on actual cost re- gardless of market conditions. In oth. CT words, if the flour mills were per E,itteG to raise their price on flour, the retailer and wholesaler would be onI eed to sell his stock on the basis of lis current rTices and could not take advantage of the advanced cost.
 Monthly Report
 The retail grocer is obliged to make monthly reports of stock on hand, stock received during the month. and to list his selling prices. These re- poTts must show the average percent age of profit, also the highest profit made A copy of the dealers report is Nai,ed to Washington and a copy to the State Food Administration. These re ports show at a glance whether or not the dealer is making an excessive IrofIt It must be remembered that in making thess reports the dealer is orlised to swear to their correctness. From this it can be seen that the con sLner's interests are very well safe guarded by the Food Administration.
 In some staes it has been found ad- advisable to publish tables of retail selling prices of staple goods. County Food Administrator Rae now has this matter under consideration with a view to possibly adopting this method in inc Warren District. If it is con sicsred advisable. such lists will be published regularly and the consumer "lii have an opportunity of checking grJcers' prices.
 It must be borne in mind by the con sWner that while the various regula- ticns surround millers, manufacturers. and retailers, farmers and associations of farmers are not re- stricted. They may hold their grain and ether products. if they deem it ad- v.Sable, in the hope of securing higher prices.

conserve wheat, it can readily be seen that the less flour the dealers buy and the less the consumers buy the greater quantity is at the disposal of the government, either for the army or for exportation- to our allies.
 Saved In This District.
 Tn the Warren district alone a fair estimate of the normal amount Of wheat flour consumed per month is ten carloads. equivalent to six hun dred thousand pouns. Within Chs thirty-day period immediately after the wheat conservation rule went into effect, not more than two carloads of flour were shipped into this district. This rule therefore had the effect Of releasing nearly half a million pounds of flour that would normally have been shipped into the Warren dis trict. Granted that there was aH equal saving al Phoenix, Tucson. Globe and Douglas. these cities, with Bisbee, would show an approximate saving within the same period of more than two million pounds of flour or Q trainload of thirty-five carloads. A similar saving must have been made throughout the United States.
 This saving during the first thirty day period was of course unusual and due to the lack of substitutes. Granted that substitutes can be purchased equally with wheat flour in the fu- ture and that the sales of wheat flou- will be cut in two the saving in tha Warren district would be approxim ately three hundred thousand pounds per month. equal to five carloads. h the five cities as listed above the normal saving per month should he approximately twenty-five carloads.
 Give Up White Bread
 To secure the best results, the con suIIer must give up white bread ab- su.utely. If afTeT buying twenty-four pounds of wheat flour with substitutes the housewife uses the flour for white bread, she will accumulate a surplus of the substitutes. Therefore the logi- cal thing to do is to devise some meth. Oa Of using these substitutes with the wheat flour in the making Of bread. there will be certain amount of experimenting which will rcSdlt inca waste of material. The Food Administration will give publici- ty 70 good recipes for bread-making 5 ith substitutes. IL is the duty of bak-
