FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
Under Terms Of Act Secretary Of Aari-

Much misunderstanding seems to
prevail as to the means by which fed
eral aid in road building under the
federal aid road act of 1916 may be
obtained, says q recent publication Of
the United States department of agri-
culture.
''Many county officials and private
citizens" says the publication, Sub
init to the department of agriculture
inquiries or applications looking to the
obtaining of federal aid for local high
way. TO these inquiries and applica-
tons the answer is invariably made
that under the terms of the federal
act itself the secretary of agriculture
may deal only with the state highway
department of roads. Responsibility
for repair of roads upon which fed
eral aid is TO be expended rests with
the state highway department"

BOURBON OUT IN FRONT

Chairman S. e. Bedford Has Made

Come Forward In Pleasing
and GpmmerdsbIe Way.

! Paris, Ky.-A X .egrass county
Bourbon, holds the record so far in
Kentucky, size, population and quota
considered, in the sale OF Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps.
Chairman S. e. Bedford has reported
20 State Headquarters at Louisville
hat his organization has disposed OF
100000 worth OF Stamps. It's quota
is 1920, and the Bourbon OrganiZa-
ton is planning 20 have all of this
amount either sold outright or pledged
before the Third Liberty Loan cam
paign is finished in his section of Ken
lucky.
The Paris Kentuckian-CitiZen, which
is actively cooperating with Mr.. Bed
ford and his organization in this great
war activity, has the following article
with reference to the campaign in
, Bourbon:
Fifty nine Bourbon county people
have been enrolled in the one thou
sand dollar War Savings Stamp Club
as a result of their subscribing for the
maximum of stamps permitted by the
United States Government.
"Other persons have literally sub
scribed for War Savings Stamps in
amounts from five to five hundred dol
lars each and as result Chairman S.
e. Bedford has disposed of more than
one hundred thousand dollars worth
of War Savings Stamps through his
working committees distributed in
Bourbon county. Bourbon county's
allotment of War Savings Stamps is
s349,240, and our people must hurry
themselves bit and subscribe quickly
for the stamps remaining unsold.
I'm the War Savings campaign Bour-
bon people, rich and otherwise, have
come forward with their subscriptions
to this gilt edge Investment in a most
pleasing and commendable way, for
all of which County Chairman Bedford
and the members of the precinct COM
mittees are highly appreciative. How
ever, the unsold War Savings Stamps
must be- sold before the next issue OF
Liberty Loan Bonds, which will be Of
fered to the public in April.
Get busy you patriotic and liberty
loving people of Bourbon. Call on
some member of the committee and

Stamps, the best and most desirable
investment obtainable today. Do your
duty now-don't wait until members of
the County Committee, all busy bust
