WOULD PERMIT FARMERS
TO BUTCHER AND SELL
THEIR MEAT AT RETAIL

Several farmers who had beef cat
tie they could not sell to advantage,
undertook to butcher some OF them
and peddle the meat in Ardmore.
Under the health laws, this could
not be permitted and DR.. X. S. VIII
yard, city health officer stopped the
sale of the meat. He believes, how
ever, that considering the extremely
high prices charged for meat in the
city markets that this meat should
be allowed to be sold and he has
taken the matter up with Dr.. John
W. Duke, presiden of the state board
OF health. Doctor Willard said the
cattle would be inspected by 4 state
inspector and after the meat was
prepared for market he would have
he peddlers bring it all to him that
he might inspect the meat and the
condition in which it was being
handled before the men were allowed
to sell it. and he believed that such
safeguards could be thrown around
it, now that the weather is becom-
ing cooler, as to safely allow it to
be sold.

JUDGE MULLINS ISSUES
PROCLAMATION.

Recognizing that the supreme
need of our country at his time
is that its citizens should have
the highest type of Christian
character, We ought TO put forth
our best efforts in moral and rellg-
iOus training.
Whereas: The Sunday School
is one of the most powerful fac
tors in chara cter building and so
large a number of our people are
missing the influence and train
ing of this great institution, We
heartily commend and endorse
the action of the Kentucky sun
day School Association in APP
pointing May S, 1918, as go to-
Sunday-School Day.
Therefore: We the officers of
RockcaS'le County, call upon all
of our citizens to cooperate heart
lily in this movement. and re-
quest each person in the county
to attend Sunday School on May
.5th.
Whereas: The Kentucky Sun
day School Association, and or :
ganlzation representing all of the
Sunday Schools of our state,
has appointed May 5th, 1918.
as a Go, to- Sunday-School Day,
hoping to have one million PEG
pie in Sunday School that day.
Whereas: We all desire to
produce a greater and better
Kentucky and believe that one of
the most helpful ways of secur
ing better citizens is by gather
ing ourselves together in the
Sunday School to study the word
of God.
Therefore: 1, Judge of Rock
castle County Court call upon all
of our citizens to cooperate in the
Go to Sunday School Day cam
paign and urge all the inhabi-
