Carl Parsons, the young man who

What is perhaps the largest deal In,
Mason county land was pulled of
here yesterday when Messrs. Thomas
L. Evan and Sherman Arm, local real
estate dealers, sold the W. W. Ball
farm of 205 acres, located about four
miles from Maysville on the Fleming
pike, to Mr.. Joseph Perraut, Of Bour-

and best improved farms in Mason

CHICKEN
Now Stricken From Menu-Sale Of
Hens and Pullets Forbidden by
Order Of Food Admins.
stratiOn.

Chicken for dinner today?
No indeed: Not today, nor any
other day from now until the first
day of April, unless you are lucky
enough to have a fowl or two run
ming around In your own backward,
or to purchase one killed before yes
terday morning
For between February II and March
30, no live or freshly killed hens or
pullets are to be sold, shipped or
purchased.
The drastic order comes as a re-
suit of the countrywide scarcity of
eggs, which recently sent the price
of that commodity in Lexington up
to the unheard of point of rs cents a
dozen.
The rule, which was promulgated
by the Poultry-and Egg Division Of
the Food Administration at Washing
ton, absolutely prohibits the pur-
chase, sale or shipping of any live
or freshly killed hens or pullets, be-
tween February II and March 80, but
provides, however, that this order
shall not prevent the purchase, ship
ment or sale between February II
and February 20 of hens or pullets
which were either killed or shipped
prior to February II to markets for
sale as food, and provided, further
that nothing in this rule shall prevent
the purchase or shipment or sale of
live hens or pullets for egg produc-
tion."

TWELVE POUND PACKAGES
OF FLOUR NOW PERMITTED

Grocers who have been greatly In
conyenienced by the ruling which
prohibited the packing Of -four in less
than 24-pound sacks, were given re-
lief in an order issued by the United
States food administration authoriz-
ing the packing of -four in one-six-
teenth barrel, or 12A pounds pack
ages.
Since the new "fifty-ffty" regula-
tions went into force, requiring con-
sumers to purchase with all -four the
same amount of some -four substi-
tute, the poorer families have been
compelled to buy in small quantities,
necessitating the extra trouble Of
breaking" the 24-pound sacks and
repacking in smaller portions on the
part of the grocers.

Count Won Hertiing, the Imperial
German Chancellor, it is reported un-
officially, will answer President Will
sons address to Congress in the Ger
man Reichstag next Tuesday. Pres
ident Wilson saw a difference between
the Chancellor's recent statement and
that of Count Czernin, the Austro-
Hungarian Foreign Minister, and de-
clared that Count Won Hertling had
not withdrawn from his position that
peace should be made on Germany's
terms.
Facts are known in London, the

the possibility of separate peace

GERMAN MIDDLE GLASSES
 ARE REAL WAR SUFFERERS

AMSTERDAM. July 17.-The situ- ation in the German labor market as described in the official Rcichearbcits. hlatt- the Labor Gazette pictures the relative prosperity of tn" working classes in contrast to the grinding penury Of the people who draw fixed salaries and others of the middl" classes. IL is estimated that tn" in comes of the workingmen have risen proportionately far beyond the in creased cost Of living, because of the war. considering the fact that the workers wives and children have been able to add substantially to the family incomes owing to the abnor- mal conditions and wages.
 The Gazette's figures, compiled by the imperial statiscal bureau up to September, 1917. show that the work CTS wages had risen from 92 to 175 percent. since 1914 It is calculated that other workers, not immediately connected with war industries, such as woodworkcrs. stonemasons and plast- erers. are earning an average of a thousand marks more annually than they did before the war.
 With the increased wage the work CTS are enjoying many extra facilities for the securing of food which are not available to the middle classes who are the real sufferers in Ger many today.

It was the cult, the veneration that these sol diors who have come from the other end of the world to pay the debt con tracted in the time of RoChambeau and Layfayette, show for everything connected with Joan of Are. Nothing is more touching than to see their pilgrimages use the religious term designedly-to Domremy, to the house where the maid was born"

the uniforms to arrive in the morning
so that practice may be started to-
