AFTER ALI. THE TRUE LIFE Is
THE JOY OF LIFE.

Customers caught with lies, trade
won by trickery, business built up
by Dragging, can't last. The law of
equilibrium forbids it.

we can thank you for your patron

WINTER STILL HOLDS GRIP ON
KENTUCKY.

King Winter relaxed his death
hold on this section for one day
Sunday being in a rather melting
mood. A rise in the temperature
brought general thaw Saturday,
followed by rain Sunday, which
caused the heavy blanket of snow t.
disappear rapidly.
But hopes of moderate weather
were dashed to earth Sunday night
when a high cold wind sprang up,
with sudden drop in the tempera-
ture which soon enveloped the
streets and pavements in an icy COW
ering which rendered a foot hold
uncertain, and walking extremely
difficult.
The icy blast was followed by
colder weather and snow yesterday
being return to conditions that
have existed for over six weeks.
No relief is promised by the weather
bureau.
The scarcity of coal Saturday and
Sunday was a cause of much suffer
ing among the poorer people. The
coal dealers could not supply their
wants and could not promise any
relief to certainty. Two cars of
coal received by Spears & Son, were
taken by eager customers in a short
while after they had been placed in
position. Other dealers had no coal
in their yards and no prospect of re-
ceiving any yesterday
Reports from all sections of the
country except in the extreme
South tell of snow storms with
snow drifted in Chicago to a depth
of eight feet. The whole country
seems to be in the grip of the most
rigorous winter known for years.

LIBERTY BOND COUPONS PAYA.
BILE AT ANY BANK.

The interest coupons of Libelty
Loan Bonds are payable at any Fed
eral reserve bank or Subtreasury
and at the Treasury Department in
Washington, and any national bank
which is general depository of
Government funds is required to
cash these coupon without charge.
1t is believed by the Treasury De-
partment that no bank or trust COM
pany which is a depository of the
proceeds of Liberty Bonds or Treas
ury certificates of Indebtedness will
make a charge for collecting the
coupons, paying cash to the holder.
The service rendered by the banking
institutions in cashing these inter-
est coupons is substantial one, but
it is hoped that these repositories
will perform the service without
charge as a patriotic duty.

Y. N. C. A. CHARACTERISTICS
HOUSES.

Raymond B. Fosdick, Chairman o
the Federal Commission on Training
Camp Activities, wrote to the Wal
Work Council of the Young Wo
mems Christian Association the
other day:
''The Hostess House idea, which
your organization introduced, has
become an essential factor in the life
of our training camp, and your
positive work with young girls in
the neighborhood of these training
camps has contributed materially to
the creditable conditions which now
exist. l do not hesitate to say that
the work of the War Department, in
its attempt to rationalize the envi
ronment of our camps, would suffer
greatly if it were not for the splen-
did efforts of the Y w. C. A. The
spirit of your organization has been
so generous and unselfish from the
start that it has been genuine
pleasure to cooperate with you in
carrying out our mutual program
And General Bell said not long ago:
1.-THE Hostess House gives the men
what no man-made institution can
ever give-the woman's touch to
army life"
The helplessness of visitors to
these military encampments, where
many thousands of men are gather
ed, has often been told. The Hos
tess House is the bureau of infor-
nation that puts them in touch
with their loved ones, and a meet
ing place for them under pleasant
surroundings. And the men are well
coined there, as well as their moth
ers and sisters and friends; there
are books and magazines to read
and cafeterias where a comfortable
meal can be had, with warmth and
brightness and companionship
thrown in-all under the supervis-
ion of mature workers with an AM
pie experience in social service.
There are in the United States
nearly 100 camps of all kinds; al
ready, in 80 of them, Hostess
Houses are either completed or in
the course of construction. Doubt
less, they will soon be in every
place where soldiers are gathered
in considerable numbers for train
ing.
The Young Women's Christian
Association is a Government
Agency for War Work, like the Y.
M. C. A. and the Red Cross. Mr..
Henry P. Davidson, Chairman OF
the American Red Cross, said re-
Gently. that he considered the work
of the Y. w. c. A. as important as
that of the Red Cross. In giving to
its War Work Fund one has the
assurance that the money will be a
great patriotic offering to our
country in it's hour of deepest need.

that short interest in cash oats among

have been in position to know what was
going on have asserted that the offerings
of May oats by shorts have presumably
fallen into hands of seaboard exporters and
that the market was in the same condition
as was wheat last spring. Only difference
is that stocks of OATS IN interior. are liberal

the late advance.
