KIMBALL's CANDIDACY COMES AS
SURPRISE TO JAMES FRIENDS

The friends of Senator James were
greatly surprised when they learned
that Pres Kimball, of the Seventh
District, had filed his declaration to
be a candidate against Senator James
for the nomination of United States
Senator They interpreted the action
of Mr. Kimball to mean, in part, that
in the event the physical condition
of Kentucky's senior Senator would
place him out of the running, a thing
that is most unlikely, he would have
clear sailing to obtain the Democratic
nomination.
Reports received from Baltimore,
were that the Kentuckian is much
improved The acute attack of nep-
heritis and rheumatism from which
the distinguished patient has been
suffering has disappeared. AS soon
as Senator James regains his strength
he will leave the hospital.

Make your own love true,
Greet the boy in khaki when he comes
Marching home to you.
Throw your arms around him, let him
Kiss your sweet lips,
And he will joyfully tell you all
About his wonderful trips.
I would like to be with you often
These beautiful, happy days,
But now it makes me blue to think
You are so far away.
Some day in the future this great war
will end,
And the soldier boy who loved you
Will come to you again.
1t is the duty of every girl who is
Left behind
To always remember the boy she
Who is on the firing line.
He did not want to leave you, for
He's going to risk his life,
But he is a true American UNFOLDING

Those lips Of yours so sweet
That / was going to leave you
And again we may never meet.
Don't give up, my darling, If you
Love me you will wait,
If we don't meet again on this earth
Well meet at the Golden Gate.
Some girls are not so patient
And will not wait so long.
They will go and love a Stacker
When their soldier boy is gone.
When he goes to fight his battle
For his country and for you,
His heart is always resting
On the one he thinks is true.
When he returns in years to come
And finds that you was false
His whole life will be ruined
And his happiness will be lost.

FOOD ADMINISTRATION ISSuEs
SWEEPING SUGAR ORDER

Interested parties in this city have
Deen advised Of the action of Mr..
William Simms, of Lexington, Dis
trlct Food Administrator, in issuing
the following order, which was trans
mltted to Mr.. Lawrence Mitchell.
bourbon County Food Administrator,
in which they are advised of the ne
cesslty OF taking out licenses for
handling sugar. The order is as fol-
lows:
TAKE NOTICE!
All users of sugar in any form of
manufactures, hotels, restaurants,
dining cars, public institutions and
public eating places generally, bak-
erS and cracker makers and others
selling for consumption:
TAKE NOTICE.!
Every person in the above list
must, before the first of July next
make statement and make a return
upon a form which will be provided
him, giving the information requested
by the Food Administration. Fail
ure to do so will deprive such per-
SON of the right to produce or to use
sugar"
The failure of the Louisiana sugar
crop, the reduction in the amounted
sugar importations, due to the short
age of shipping and the destruction
of sugar stores in France and Italy
have decreased the available supply
to such an extent that only the most
careful use will prevent famine be-
fore the new crop becomes available.
To obtain justice in the distribu-
ton of sugar and to make the re-
strictive plans as effective as posi-
BILE no manufacturers or wholesalers
will be allowed after July 1 to sell
any sugar except to buyers who pre-
sent certificates from the sugar di-
vision of the United States Food Ad-
ministration at Louisville, indicating
quantity they may buy. Heavy fines
for the violation of the regulation is
provided and the dealers license may
be revoked and his stock confscated
if the Food Administrator discovers
that he is not living up to the spirit
of the regulation.

lucky Association of Public Utilities,
in special meeting assembled at Lou
isville, KY, on this, % day of April,
1918, as follows:
ID That it is the sense of this
meeting that Federal regulations of
freight rates, cost of fuel and prices
of certain materials, required by pub
lie utilities, coupled with the fact
that the speeding up of the war pro-
gram is dependent upon the ability
of our several utilities TO render
proper service, makes our public util-
ity problems national rather than
local in character.
(2) That the increase in freight
rates. labor, fuel and supplies. DUR
ing the last three years. and particu-
larly during the past year, has be-
come so burdensome that it is appar-
ent that an emergency exists. requir-
ing public utility commissions and
other rate-making bodies, to make q
general order, permitting utilities to
attach riders to bills rendered on
present schedules to cover unavoida-
BILE increase in operating expenses
| during the present crisis without re-
quiring an appraisal of public utility
properties, which would entail great
expense upon both the public and the
utilities, and merely serve to delay
the relief so much needed at this
time.
(3) That equitable rates should be-
fixed at this time, based upon the
present market, prescribing some au-
tomato scheme that will lower the
rates when lower markets are OBJ
! tanned.
(4) That the chairman of this
meeting be. and he is hereby, author
lied to appoint committee for the
purpose of compiling information
touching the operation Of the public
utilities of the State of Kentucky.
with authority to act in conjunction
with similar committees represent
| ing public utilities in other States,
in order to properly present the needs
of the public utilities of the Nation
to the representatives Of our Federal
! Government, as we'll as to local au-
thorities. That 1t is the sense Of
this meeting that said committee
should deal with all problems now
confronting operators Of public util-
| tiles as war problems to be handled
as part of the Nations war pro-
| gram
go That said Committee to be APP
pointed by authority of these resolu-
| lions should give prompt support to
National Committees in their efforts
to secure the following: (a) Rates
sufficient to absorb the increased
cost of production service; (b) Re-
lief during the period of the war Of
all non-essential and unproductive
requirements, such as paving, under
ground wires, duplication and unnec-
essary extension of service; (c) Some
practical method or plan for financ-
ing public utilities as a part of the
Nations war program; I'D Some
practical plan or scheme for putting
into effect equitable rates based upon
the present market, prescribing some

WHERE MILK AND
CREAM IS IMPURE
City Health Bureau Plans
Drastic Steps Where the
Product Is Bad

Milk and ice cream dealers whose
products did not meet the city
standards last month will be prose-
cuted, City Health Officer DIR. j. M.
]. Raupick said to-day.
A few days ago the monthly re-
port of the city bacteriologist was
published showing that many of the
samples of milk and ice cream when
tested showed the presence of a
large amount of dirt and of disease
germs.
DR.. Raunick said to-day that while
there is no immediate danger of a
disease epidemic, declared that
drastic measures will be taken if the
milk and ice cream supply does not
come up to the standards this month
Or. Raunick declared that if some
of the dealers can furnish a pure
supply there is no reason why any
of the milk or ice cream should be
contaminated.
Numerous complaints have been
received of persons becoming i'll soon
after having eaten ice cream. In vir-
tually every one of the instances the
illness was caused where the city
health bureaus report showed the
ice cream was not up to standard.
