BULLETS FROM BREAD AS
IMPORTANT AS BULLETS
FROM LEAD.

1t is not possible. for every
man to fight for his country.
Some must fight and others
must work to support them
The farmers of Kentucky have
duty to perform that is just
as necessary as fighting and
that is to raise food for those
who fight for BULLETS FROM
BREAD ARE AS IMPORTANT
AS BULLETS FROM LEAD.
Every man in Germany Is
striving his utmost to win the
war and the German farmer is
doing his part by raising as
much food as possible The
only way for the Kentucky farm-
er to do his part in winning the
war Is by raising more food than
the German farmer, and as
wheat is :be most importa mt
food the real test of strength be.
tween the American farmer and
the German farmer will come
this fall when the wheat is sown.
1t Is imperative. therefore, that
Kentucky farmers SOW the larg.
est wheat acreage on record and
produce the maximum yield per
acre.
Every field that might be sowr
in wheat but that stands idle
will stand there as a blot upon
the patriotism of the man who

TIE FEDERAL EXPLOSIVE
LAW.

The Federal Explosive Act
prohibits the manufacture, sale,
purchase and possession of all
explosives and their ingredients,
in the time of war without a
license. In other words the
dealer must have a license, and
the purchaser must have license
The dealer must keep an item
lied record showing the name
and address of purchaser, his
license mum Der, kind and quality
of explosives purchased, and
purpose for which it is to be
used. This also compels practi-
cally every drug store in the
United States to have a license
permitting them 10 have in pos
session and sell explosives in
gradients. and the buyer must
have a license when purchasing
these ingredients in quantities of
an ounce or more, and the dealer
must keep the same record as
the party who sells dynamite.
These ingredients are: Bichro.
mates, CELEBRATES, Chromates,
Nitrates, Nitric Acid, Perchlor-
rates, Perborates. Permanganates
Peroxides and PHOSPHORUS, in
their various forms.
This law will be rigidly en-.
forced in the future; it having
been in effect since. November IS,
1917 and every dealer has had
time to familiarize himself with
the law and all it's details, and
no excuse will be accepted in the
future. Violation of this Act
carries a penalty of SIS COO fine or
Imprisonment in a Federal pris-
on, or both. A careful and sys-
tematic check is being made by
Federal Authorities, of every
dealer in the State who handles
explosives or ingredients, regard
less of location or size. An in
spector or some deputy may drop
in any day, and dealers should
not ALLOW themselves to be
caught unprepared.
There is United States Ex-
ploslves Licensing Officer in
every County, and such dealers
as have not already procured
their License should take lmmedi-
ate steps to do so.
This is considered one of the
most important war measures
enacted by our Congress, and
dealers can not be too careful
in making sales of explosives or
their ingredients.

OLLIE NJ. JAMES.

The vote which Senator James.
though virtually without Opposl
ton. polled in Saturdays prim-
airy is a striking demonstration of
the esteem in which he is held
by The Democrats of Kentucky
Ollie M. James, like Joseph G.
Cannon, and like many other
public men of the present time
and a greater percentage of
American public men in earlier
periods, sprang from unpreten
tiOus stock i'm a provincial COM
munity. he came first TO the
capital of his State and later to
the capital of his country with
the enthusiasm for democratic
ideals and the freedom from
cynicism which so often distin
guishes the rural American and
contradistinguishes him from
the metropolitan whose sur
roundings have been less typic-
ally American; less racy of the
soil and less remindful of the
heroic circumstances of the
making of America To Frank
fort the long-legged boy from
the Gibraltar district brought
the perfect integrity which
makes idealism possible When
years afterward, and in due
course. he arrived in Washing
ton, an m. c." his character
remained unsullied and his aims
in public life is unassailable.
In his earlier career the spright-
ly writers for the press found in
Mr.. James physical proportions
a theme for much humorous
writing in the narrative forms
and not a little frolicsome dis
cussion in editorial columns, but
as years passed it became recog
nized generally and admitted
freely that the large Kentuckian
was one of the considerable fac
tors in Congress as well as one of
the conspicuous figures physical
ly. His capa biIity and sincerity,
for some time thoroughly estab-
lished, have reflected credit upon
his Stale and his services have
been valued highly by the most
eminent members of his politi-
cal party. President Wilson has
In various ways and upon sun
dry occasions made plain his ap-
probation of Senator james
worth and his present illness
has been the cause of no little
solicitude in the White House.
Ours is a period of many and
heavy tasks for public servants;
a period in which the work of
every capable and honest man is
needed in public life and in priv
ate life. 1t is to be hoped that
Senator James soon will have
entirely recovered his vigorous
health. -Courier-Journal.

No flower has entered Japanese history, litera-

richly than our sakura or Japanese cherry. 1t
was only natural, therefore, that foreign visitors
to this country began to call 1t the land of cherry
blossoms and that we have chosen sakura as our
national flower by common consent. Our army has
adopted the blossom as its insignia as an express
sion of the national ideal of always being ready
to die for a cause, after the manner of sakura,
which falls in the height of natural glory and
human admiration without the slightest desire to
linger In the sordid world.-From Herald of Asia.

In the light of experience the tail
ored suit of wool cloth has proven that
there is nothing to equal it fer giving
general satisfaction. Some other fab
RIGS make suits as durable and as
good looking but they do not seem to
fit in everywhere and against any sort
of background as wool does. How
ever, there may come a time when
there will be no wool to spare, after
the needs of the army are supplied,
and we will be obliged to wear some
thing else. Manufacturers are already
experimenting with other fbers and
have turned out a few new fabrics that
look practical.
The most noteworthy of these mate
rails is tricotine or tricolet, woven of a
heavy, silky fiber that is strong and sup
pie. 1t has the brilliance of silk and the
strength of wool and is especially
handsome in black and in dark tones
of brown and blue. 1t is used for
gowns and suits. For the first, hand
some fringes are wonderfully effective
es a trimming, while braiding seems
the best finish for suits,
The suit at the right in the picture
is a conservation tailleur" of trico-
tine with collar and tunic waistcoat
OF crepe. 1t earns its patriotic title
because 1t is not wool and compels en-
tlluslastic praise because it Is hand
some and cleverly designed. The col
lar and waistcoat are braided and
might be embroidered, for both these
decorations find themselves against
just the right background in tricotine.

Scarfs.

Already there are indications that
scarfs will be an accredited part Of
next winters suits-that is, wide
scarfs that are wrapped around the
neck as a part Of the suit. We had
some of these scarfs last winter,
sometimes coming from only one part
Of the coat collar and wrapping well
around the throat. Sometimes, too,
they were the ends of u skating cap
that were wrapped, scarfike, around
the throat. In the new suits they are
sometimes separate, but of the same
material, and sold as a part of the
frock. Sometimes they are fastened
to the coat, under the collar.
