DROP NEAR IN II. 4. I.
Great Increase In Holdings To Work
Big Change.
(Courier-J Journal

The high cost of living is appar-
emily threatened with a tremendous
slump. There is every reason To be-
lieve that food prices which for sew
lump. There is every reason for sew
eral years have been mounting to a
apogee and will decline henceforth.
This is believed to be particularly
true of two important food staples
potatoes and beans.
Allen X. Carter, of the Herndon-
Carter Produce q Commission Com
pany, predicted yesterday that po-
tatoes will drop to | cent pound
before the price decline ceases. Mr..
Carter said that beans are also more
plentiful than he had ever known
them, that his firm was receiving an
average of ten letters a day from
farmers offering to sell beans at low
figures.
There has been a tremendous pro-
duction of potatoes" said Mr. Carter.
Especially is this true in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, where there
are millions of potatoes on hand
awaiting the Food Administration s
solution of the problem of what to do
with them"
Large Holdings of Grain.
Mr.. Carriers food forecast is sup
ported by the report of the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates,
given out at the Louisville office yes
terday, which shows an enormous in
crease in the holdings by farmers of
grain.
Corn, for instance. which is now
selling at $2.25 bushel, was held
by farmers of the United States on
March /, 1918, to the extent of 1899
100000 bushels, as compared to only
7S2,3O3,000 bushels on March / last
year. This unparalleled increase in
corn holdings means nearly doubling
the amount held in 1913 over that
of 1917.
Mr.. Carter yesterday received a

According to this trade paper. Wis.
consin and Michigan have $4,000. 900
bushels of potatoes on hand that can
not be disposed of. and Minnesota
has an equally enormous surplus. in
GLIDING 100000 bushels which are
held over from 1916.
Thousands of cars would be nee
essary to transport this great supply
of potatoes. and the problem OF the
Food Administrators is how to pro-
vide the transportation facilities.
In the opinion of Mr.. Carter, the
price of potatoes and beans will de-
cline very rapidly. and their decline
will affect to some extent at least
the price of other foods.

When you have a bilious attact

The food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead of digesting. This
infames the stomach and causes

Government Depots, Notice to this
effect was issued. To-day is the reg
ular payday for the first half of
March. Under the new arrangement

none more than $50.
Lieutenants in charge of depart
ments notified the laborers that they
would be expected to work on Sun
days and holidays, when required
without extra pay. Each man will
be expected to put in eight hours

every man, unless physically unfit, or
too old. who reported for work of

slot MACHINES GET
BLOW BY HIGH court
Giving Away Articles Does
Not Make The Ofense
Lighter.

The court Of appeals, in an opinion
by Chief Justice Settle. has dealt
what is considered death blow to
all kinds of slot machines, punch
boards and other gambling devices
which have been popular about drug
stores, cigar stores and saloons. The
case decided was Welch vs. Common
wealth, appealed from the Fayette
circuit court. The opinion follows:
-Gaming-Device or Imple-
ments-Slot chines.-Whether a
slot machine is a gambling device in
the meaning of Section 1960-1967,
Kentucky Statutes, depends upon
whether its use by the person playing
it would enable him to lose or win
money or other thing of value by a
hazard or chance.
Second-Same.-A slot
machine is so constructed as that the
dropping of a nickel therein will in
variably return to the player a pack
age of chewing gum and the dropping
of a second nickel another package of
chewing gum and, in addition, chip
or chips which may be of greater
value than the nickel deposited and
good for the purchase of anything. of
its value in the establishment of the
owner of the slot machine, such ma
chine is a gambling device. although
the player may learn, before the
dropping of the second or subsequent
nickels in the machine, from an indi-
Gator attached to the machine. how
many chips and their value in addi-
tion to the chewing gum he will re-
ceive for the nickel or nickels depos-
tied. While upon depositing the first
nickel the player might know exact
ly what he was to receive from the
machine in return. yet the indicator
at the end of the play might show
that the next nickel deposited. in
stead of drawing only a package of
chewing sum, might draw in addition
thereto as much as a dollars worth
of chips.
Third-Same-The only difference
between the slot machine here men,
toned and that described in the
opinion in Allen VS.. Commonwealth,
IT'S Kentucky, $50, is that the former
indicates in advance the result Of the
next play. But that does not make it
any less a gambling machine than
the one denounced as such in the AL
len case. for it is possible for a play
er to put a nickel in the Slot and OBJ
tain from the machine package of
gum worth two or three. or even five
cents, and CHECKS good 70. Merchan-
disc of the value OF 81. Consequently,
the player would be little inclined to
stop as long as the indicator would
continue to point at trade checks at
certainty of gain. Therefore, the
player is enticed to continue by the
fact that he is getting five cents
worth of gum for each play with al
ways the chance just ahead that the
lext presentation of the indicator will
give him the opportunity of winning
rom 100 to many times that per cent.
So the lure is the opportunity to win
from ten cents to 100 cents by the
deposit and expenditure of five cents.

FAMOUS HORSES
IN CIVIL war
Commanding Generals On
Both Sides Had Famous
Steeds.

O., who represents the Ninth Ohio
district in Congress, a Union veteran
of the Civil War, recently made a
speech in Congress out of the ordinary,
in which he gave many interesting
facts about the horse in history. What
follows is an excerpt from the speech
as published in the Congressional
Record of January "a:
If | should name six of the most ia
nous hero horses of the Nineteenth
century | would mention Marengo.

Sherman rode on the Atlanta CAM
paign, and Winchester, the game fleet
black stallion that carried Gen. Phil
Sheridan from Winchester to Cedar
Creek, twenty miles, that gray Oct
ober morning in 1864. Winchester
has the unique distinction of con-
tinental commemoration in the dra-
matte war poem, and the further dis
tinction of having his master for
biographer.

daring and inspiring figure l ever saw

Gen. John A. Logan.
Gen. Logan was the incarnation of
vital energy and reckless courage.
/ saw him ride to the front at Atlanta
and rally the staggering battalions,
after the death of Gen Mcpherson, in
that fierce conflict of the 22d of July.
Logan rode that day his famous war
horse, Black Jack, a coal-black horse

saw Gen Sherman under fire at |
Atlanta and at Kennesaw Mountain. |
His favOrite horse was Lexington,
presented to him by admiring friends
when he commanded the Department
of Kentucky. Gen Sherman was
never an impressive figure on horse
back. As he rode through our lines
on the march in the Atlanta cam
paign, sometimes at midday and
sometimes in the midnight march, he
always rode whit bowed head in ia
tigue uniform.

first saw Gen. Grant mounted
near Raleigh. N. c., at the grand re-
view of Sherman's army, after the
final surrended of all the armies of
the Confederacy. Gen. Grant was
never a snowy soldier on horseback,
like Hooker, Mcpherson or Custer.
He was too shortbodied, square
houldered, and chort-necked to make
picturesque figure on horseback.
His most famous horse was Cincin-
natl, presented to him by some of his
admiring Ohio friends at Cincinnati
previous to his taking command of
the Army of the Potomac. Neither
was Grant a theme for the song poet
of the war, like Sheridan and the
yellow-haired Custer, or Gen. Lee.

Gen Custer, mounted, was an in
spiration. He was a devotee of the
horse and was always talking about
his war horses. From the time he
left West Point to join the army in
the Civil War until the close of his
eyentful life in June, 1876, in the
Little Big Horn Valley, his daily
life was largely on horseback. Prob
ably the man never lived whose en-
durance in the saddle was greater
than his. The fayorite war horse
of Gen Custer was a brown horse
called Dandy" He was fifteen and
one-half hands, a compact, muscular
horse, fine head and neck. He
marched in the ranks of Clusters lit
tie army of daring troopers on June
25, 1876, against the confederated
Sioux tribe that terrible day of the
massacre of Custer and his men in the
Valley of the Little Big Horn, and
was shot through the shoulder. He

This horse was the only living being
that survived the Custer massacre.
