OWEN GIBSON IN SERVICE

Owen Gibson, of Paris, nephew
of Mr.. Robert 1. Settles, of this
city, and himself a native and for
many years a resident of Mt. Ster-
ling, was among the four young
men sent by the Bourbon Sounty
Draft Board to Indianapolis, Ind,
Monday for special training in me-
chanical lines. Mr.. Gibson has been
a rural mail carrier in the Paris
postoffice for a number of years and
resigned to take up the special work
demanded by the military authori-
ties. He has many friends here at
his old home who will be interested
to learn that he is in the service.

LET'S GET BEHIND THE BOYS

Possibly your boy is cover
there" Anyway your neighbours boy
is there. And certainly there are
many whom you knew more or
less intimately, good fellows, all of
them. Young, vigorous, ambitions /;
right upon the threshold of sue
cessful lives are, counted in this
jumbled world, and every one of
them in love with living. But their
country called them.
They didn't go especially for
you; and yet they went as much
for You as for anyone else upon
American soil. They may have been
moved by feelings for another, but
in protecting that other they are
protecting you as well. Whatever
may come to one of us, in the event
of German victory in this war,
must of necessity be accepted as
the common fate of all.
For, if Germany triumphs, there
will be no favoritism.
Each will pay the penalty of de-
feat. The burden will fall upon all
alike, except perhaps that the man
who boarded most his worldly goods
in the hour of his country's need
will be plucked the cleanest in the
hour of her shame.
And that will be retributive JUS
tice well deserved.
But none of us care to live to
see that day. None of us care 10
endure the bondage the Hun will
inevitably impose if he wins. All of
us have tasted freedom, have thriv-
ed upon liberty, have fattened up
on independence. And few of us
would long survive the conditions
Prussianism would dictate.
Let's not let that boy "over
there" make his sacrifice in vain.
Let's get behind him in massed sup
port. Let's do for him everything
we can; to the last penny, the last
gasp.
Let's buy our bond early. Maybe
later we can buy another.
Let's be able to shake his hand
unblushingly if he comes back.

clasping and unclasping of her
fingers the clamor of over-wrought
nerves. And her garb was just
little more somber.
"I've just got Tommy's insur-
ance money" and her voice chok-
ed pitifully. "You know he died
in France" Tears filed her eyes to

swabbed at them helplessly with a
worn little handkerchief, and
slowly regained control of her feel

A GOOD FRIEND

A South Dakota railroad is noted

over the road at night and was
standing in the center of the car,

Suddenly the train struck a
smooth piece of track and slid
along without a sound. Selling his
lantern, the brakeman ran for the
door.

Telephones in Canada.

A most remarkable increase is evj.
denced in the use of the telephone in
Canada during the past five years, ac-
cording to a report recently laid upon
the table of the house of commons.
The number of telephones in use
throughout the Dominion in 1912 was
370,SS4, while in 1917 the number had
grown to 604, 1876. The number of tele-
phone companies operating in 1912 was
6S3, and five years later there were
1860 companies in operation. A total
Bof SS9,572 miles Of wire was in use
during the year 1912 In 1917 the wire
mileage was 1,70S,202 The capitaliza-
ton of telephone companies also shows
a great increase in the five-year period.
In 1912 it was $42, 27S,S51, while in
June, 1917, it was $40, ,702. The
revenue during the same period had
grown approximately $S,00O,00O. The
number Of persons for each telephone

GIVES POINTERS ON
CULTIVATING CORN

The farmers big job just now, as
most of them already know, is cutti-
waiting corn. Wisconsin farmers, ac-
cording to r. A. Moore, have got culti-
walton down to science, and do a
thorough job of killing the weeds, not
just. covering them up and smothering
them for while.
This is the way Mr.. Moore sums up
the fine art of cultivating after
planting, run the ine-toOthed harrow
over the ground before the corn plant
has appeared above the surface.
Wherever possible all weeds should be
removed before the corn sprouts. At
ter the plant appears above the ground
the small shoveled cultivator can be
used to advantage. The first cultiva-
ton should be as deep as two to four
inches while later CIVILIZATIONS should
be shallOwer.
''The reason for shallow civilizations
is to avoid tearing the roots that
spread across the rows. The roots of
the corn grow as fast the plant does
above the ground. When the corn is
Is inches high the roots meet between
the rows. In a wet season such as this
the roots put out near the surface of
the ground because they do not have
to grow deep to secure moisture.
mo one thing assists the corn crop
more than proper cultivation. In
weedy lands lack of proper cultivation
will reduce the final output more than
One-half. In clay soils frequent cult
vation is necessary because clay soon
bakes and cracks and moisture is read

cultivation program will pay for

Eastern Districts Are Unable to
Handle the Large Volume
of Trade.
OUTLINES new POLICY
War Industries Board and Railroad
Administration Takes Action Owing
to Inability of Roads to Haul Coal
and Manufactured Products.

Washington, June 13.-The govern
ment has. prescribed district in
which it will permit no increase i'll
the volume of war orders not in the
number of plants handling them, The
action is taken to check further in
dustrial congestion in the already
cverburdened East.
This district includes New England,
eastern and southern New York, east
ern Pennsylvania to Williamsport, and
Altoona, New Jersey, Delaware and
eastern Maryland, excluding Balti-
more.
The new policy announced by the
War Industries board and Fuel and
Railroad administrations will tend to
create expansion of industries in the
Middle West and South, although the
process is expected to be so gradual
as not to work any hardship on the
Eastern manufacturing area nor cause
unusual Industrial booms elsewhere.
Railroad Shortage Is Cause.
The reason for the action which al
ready has been put into effect to some
degree, is primarily the inability Of
the railroads to supply sufficient coal
or to haul promptly all the manufac-
tured products turned out by constant
ly growing industries The shortage
of labor in the East and the congested
terminals of Atlantic ports were con-
tributory
The announcement of the policy,
which has been under consideration
since the serious freight traffic tieup
and coal shortage last winter, fol
lows:
"a policy has been adopted and
made effective for preventing further
increase in the volume of war orders
and the number of establishments
handling them in the area known as
the co1gested manufacturing and
transportation district. This compris-
es the New England states; eastern
and southern New York, Pennsylvania
as far west as Williamsport and Al
toona; all Of New Jersey and Della
ware; eastern Maryland, not including
Baltimore
Exceptions to Be Few.
Exceptions to this policy will be
made only if unavoidable through in
ability otherwise to provide for war
needs.
"The congested district comprises
those EASTERN states in which so
large a proportion of war industries
is located as to make it difficult to
supply all with necessary raw mater
ials and fuels. This difficulty obtains
because coal for these industries is
mined in the territory west of the Al
legheny mountains. 1t might be car
red into this congested district by
a limited number of railway lines and
by ships from Hampton Roads and
Baltimore.
"The amount Of coal therefore,
which can be transported into this
congested area during any one season
Is limited and is an entirely separate
problem from the production of coal.
However, much coal is mined in West
ern Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio. Only so much is available for
this congested district as the rail-
roads and ships can transport into it,"
