POULTRY MANURE VALUABLE

Poultry manure is more valuable
than the manure of any other COM
mon farm animal, it's analysis shows,
and is particularly well adapted to
gardening. Poultry raisers should Ell
thcr use it on their own gardens or
sell it, thus increasing the profits of
their focks.

Courage Under the Enemy's Fire

1t is irresistihie. Death seems Inevitable.
The danger is unknown, and is magnified
thousandfold. by the imagination. One
makes no attempt to analyzeit. The
bursting, of the shells and their aerid
smoke, together with the. shrapnel, are
the main causes Of the first feeling Of
terror. And yet neither the flashes Of
melinite, nor the, noise Of the explosions,
nor the. smoke are the real danger; but
they accompany the DANGER and at first
one is atsscked by all three at oEec. Soon
however, one learns e. discriminate. The
smoke is harmless and the whistling Of
the SHELLS indicates in What direction they
are coming. One no longer crOuehes down
unnecessarily, and only tsccks shelter
when 1t is imperative to do 80.
Danger no longer masteTs, bot Is mas
tered This Is tie great difference.
~The actual organisation Of the artii-
Iery also stimulates a grnrer's courage.
The links existing between. the scvrr men
among themselves, and between each Of
them and the gun, render any faiathearted-
ness more obvious, and the shame Il bears
in its wake more crushing. One or tFo

DEFEAT OF GERMANY

LudendOrH Admitted a Year Ago That
He Had Lost the War.

London, December 19-General Luz
dendorff was told more than a year
ago that in order to win the war he
must capture Paris, London and New

done.
This was revealed today in an in
terview with DR.. w. Ratheman, head
of the German General Electrical Co.,
employing 10000 men, obtained by the
Berlin correspondent of the Express.
Germany is ruined for the next
generation, politically, industrially
and economically" Ratheman was
quoted as saying. "The people do net
know what they can trust.

said he wanted a peace understand

Regarding the present conditions in
Germany, Ratheman said: "If the al

LETTERS WANTED

BOYS AND farmers
Sta,e Office of Boys Working Reserve
VI. nts to Hear From Boys ana
Their Employees.

The Chamber of Commerce is in re-
ceipt of the following communication
from the State office of the Boys
Working Reserve, which is now part
of the United State Department of La
Dor.
1--WE hone to make 1919 great veal
in Kentucky for the Reserve. Geo. b
Stephens, who was the the Executive
Secretary in charge of Publicity for
the United War Work Campaign, has
been appointed Executive Federal
State Director and will devote his
whole time to the work.
We need letters from farmers who
had boys enrolled by the Reserve this
past year, and letters from boys
who were placed on farms by the Re-
serve.
At the meeting CT the State Advisor
committee of the Reserve recently, Il
was voted to have these letters printed
and sent all over the state. If one
farmer knows that another farmer has
had success with Reserve boy, he
will want one too. If boy knows
that another boy has had good expert
ence on farm in the summer, he will
be attracted that way.
This is one of the best means we
have of getting the farmer and the
boy together.
Secretary of Labor Wilson, says
1.-THE Department OF Labor has reason
TO congratulate itself upon thu
achievement OF the U. 3. Boys Work
ing Reserve that, from small expert
mental beginnings has already attain
ed an Importance claiming nationa
