on every member of the Council
of Defense to render all the ser.
vice possible in this campaign.
The campaign will be opened in
this County at the Court House
in Mt. Vernon, Saturday, Septem-
Der 2Sth at p III. This meet
ing will be for organizing the
committees, making plans for
the three weeks work. 1t will
also be the first day that our citi.
zens will have a chance to volun-
teer their subscriptions. Every
volunteer subscription that is re-
ceived the first two days of this
campaign entities the subscriber
to button indicating that he vol
unteered, and was not solicited
to buy bonds. A good showing
of volunteers will help materially
in this campaign. and we hope
the people will come forward in
way to make it conclusive at
the end of the second day that
Rockcastle will buy her full
quota, and keep up her good re-
cord of doing her full share If
war work. There is no reason
why we should not buy our quota
of bonds as we are sending our
full quota OF boys, and to back
them up with our money to the
point of sacrificing is the mobiles,
deed that can be done by the
army back of the trenc hes. and

SUCCESS WITH SITTING HENS
Great Care Should Be Taken to Keep
Them Comfortable and Free From
Lice and Mites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture0
In order to secure greatest success
and make the hens comfortable when
they are sitting, great care should be
taken to keep the nests free from
mites. To do this effectively is not
an easy task. If Oil from crude pc
troleum, which is good for controlling
mites, is sprayed freely about the
house at that time it may soil the eggs
and prevent successful Matching. In
tested quarters, therefore, should be
treated thoroughly before hens are set,
so as to start them in nests which are
absolutely clean. Beneath the straw
of the nest a layer of lime and sulphur
will tend to prevent mite breeding, and
the entire nest may be busted occa-
sionally with pyrethum. Broken eggs
and the straw soiled by them should be
removed promptly, as they tend to at
tract mites.
Medicated nest eggs, said to control
poultry lice, are on the market. These
consist largely Of naphthalene While
this material will destroy lice when ap-
piled generally to the fowl, it is inju-
rious to the hens eggs as well as to the
bird. If used in quantity, or If the
medicated eggs are allowed to remain
for some time beneath a hen, she may
die as result. Sodium fluorid pow
der, busted on the fowl or dissolved
in water and used as dip. is the best
remedy for lice.

POTATOES INSTEAD OF
WHEAT.

Use Of potatoes to save wheat
is demanded by the present stu
alton because greater quantities
Of wheat must be conserved for
the use Of the American forces
and the allied armies in Europe,
and also because an unusually
large supply Of potatoes remains
in the hands of the growers.
Great quantities Of these will go
to waste unless they are used
even more freely and in a great
err variety Of ways than is Gus
tomary in American families.
With the basic price Of wheat
fixed as at present, flour is $13.7O
a barrel, or Z cents a pound. If,
then, potatoes can be obtained
at $1.2O a bushel, which is 2
cents pound, it is an economy
as well as war service to use
potatoes as a substitute for flour
in bread making. Even at 3
cents pound the potatoes cost
no more than -four.
Ways to use potatoes in place
of flour for various uses, par
ticularly in bread making, are
shown by carefully worked out
recipes in publications of the
United States department of
agriculture. Some of these
recipes are given here.
