Will Fifth Loan Be
Easier To Put OOeI

Will the Fifth Liberty Loan,
which is to be f1oated in April, be
harder to raise than its predeces-
sors?
Students OF finance hold varying
views on this question, but the OPP
timists cite the rather convincing
argument that France made her
greatest record at bond buying in
after-the-war financing. Germany
at the end of the Franco-Prussian
war levied an indemnity of $1,000
100000 on France May 10, 1871.
The French people were allowed
until March 2, 1874, to pay it. But
by the summer of 1873 the last cent
had been paid Germany, the billion
and interest having been raised by
the French in two smashing bond
selling drives.
And France was a vanquished
nation then.
The United States, having had
only year of war and none of that
on its own soil, energies victor
from this war with Germany, cite
those who believe the Fifth Loan
should be easily subscribed, and
certainly cannot do less than
France.

BARNYARD MANURE Is VERY VAL

The value of barnyard manure and
the best means of taking care of 1t and
applying it are given too little atten-
ton by Kentucky farmers and the
waste that results, on the average
farm, would appall the owner If he
knew how great the waste is.
DR.. Charles E. Thorne, Director of
the Ohio Experiment Station, has been
invited to come to Kentucky to tell
our people the results of his twenty
five years of experimental work with
manures and other fertilizers. DR..
Thorne probably knows more about
farm manures, their value and prop
er uses, than any other man in the
United States. His lectures will be
one of the features of the Farmers
Week exercises at the University Of
Kentucky January 2Sth to 91st.

BATTLE OF Marine
Mnysyille Officer Explains Some OF
His Experiences In Letter to
Mother.

Mrs. Alice Best, of East Second
sareet, is just in receipt of the fol-
lowing interesting letter from her son,
Lieutenant Doniphan Best, now in
France:
Sunday, Nov. 20, 1918.
Dear Mother:
The uncertainty of army life has
been well exemplified for only last
Sunday I wrote you that my orders
had been again cancelled and thai
expected to remain in Gievres the rest
of the war. Then on Monday, much
TO my surprise, as well as to my SUI
periors there, received an order from
general headquarters at T0uls to pro-
coed at once to Claye-Sanilly. No one
knew what was here, what I was com
ing to do, and even in Paris l had con
siderable difficulty finding out where
the place was. This I learned later
was due largely to the French custom
of having a town of one name and a
railway station of another, several
kilometers apart, but the same places
as far as travellers are concerned.
/ left Gieves at noon Tuesday, took
narrow gauge line to junction call
ed Salbris, and after waiting there two
hours caught local on the main line
which took me as far as the junction
at Orleans There I caught the Paris
express, which was very crowded, and
had to stand in the vcstibule all the
way to Paris, where l arrived about Q
o'clock. This train was the first high
class French train that | had ridden
on, and it compared very favorablv
with American trains, except for seat
ing capacity-the cars are all divided
into compartments for eight people
each, with doors into a passagewav
which runs down one side. usually il
seems that about four persons with
their baggage get into each compGrt-
ment and the rest of the passengers
stand or sit on baggage in the PASSAGE
That is, those who are not running
back and forth with that mania for
constant movement which strikes ne rs
another characteristic of the French
1t is especially noticeable in the large
waiting rooms of stations, where there
are no seats to speak of-evcrNOnc
lust walks around and the result Is =

flled largely with officers. and """c
ante SPARKLING appearance, as the
French were mostly in dress uniform.
eashes of red and blue, gold braid and
1ecorations-all Of them wear deco@a-
tons of some sort, and most OF them
have wound stripes.
AS it was raining hard and very
dark I went to hotel near the station
! with a captain with whom I was tray
cling. Early in the morning we went
hack to the station to look for our
baggage which just sort of drifts along
and due to the fact that it didn't show
up till the next afternoon / had two
days in Paris during which l saw quite
bit of the city, though it rained con-
tinuously. I went to the Hotel Rich
mond near the opera, it being a Y. NJ.

very good accommodations there, in

Chicago Grain.

Chicago. July 1S-While there were
price declines of az 63h c in the corn
market today. sentiment was still bear
ish at the close. There are several con-
dltions surrounding the corn market
that are certainly against the price OF
that grain.
There are 10000. 900 bushels in the
United States visible supply. This is
large as a ten-year average In August
is around 100000 bushels Chicago
holds close to 100000 bushels of corn
and primary receipts from day to day
continue much In excess of year
ago.
In order TO prevent further price re-
cessions in this grain there must be
additional buying power. not only Cor
the futures. but for the cash article
as well. 5.~t
AT the bottom prices reached today
the oats market showed decline OF
about &c.
The losses for the day were u Gle
for the more deferred months up to
IL d1%c for the nearby futures.
While the volume OF business in hog
products was slow the under current
was one Of strength. Hogs at the yards
were 1on15c higher, but this was
practically balanced by the break in
