At last the Americans are in the
thick of the fighting. In the great
battles on the northern from. they
are helping stem the tide of the on
rushing Huns. How many lives Il
will cost, we know not; how the
issues Of the great impending drive
will terminate, IL is vain to prophecy
But this we do know and we know II
.well-the gallant sons of the Great
Republic will not falter, nor fail to
do their duty. And out of it all,
when the war-clouds have blown
over; out of the confusion and the
chaos, the struggle and the strife,
will be born a nobler manhood, a
purer womanhood and a golden age
of love and fraternalism will be
ushered in.

DEEDS MUST BE STAMP.
ED FOR FULL VALUE.

Greensboro, KY, May 16.-We
would call your special attention to
the fact that all deeds made on or
since December 1, 1917, should be
stamped for their full value, and
not their consideration. Grantor
should stamp the deeds, and where
notes are executed in payment, gran
tee should stamp the notes. Tho
law is very plain, and is as follows:
THAT whoever makes, signs or ac-
cepts or causes to be made, signed
or accepted any instrument, docu-
ment or paper of any kind or de-
scription whatsoever, without the
full amount of tax thereon being
fully paid is guilty of a misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof, in Fed
eral Court, shall pay fine ofS100
for each offense."
This office has no desire to pro-
secute persons who have violated
the Statutes through a misunder-
standing of the law. | will be in

A law has been recently enacted
by Legislation making 1t a penalty
for any able-bodied man between the
ages of 16 to 60 to not engage in
some productive or useful labor SO

peace-time as WELL and we trust
that il will continue in effect after
he war. In few days 113 boys
will leave Ohio County for the train

still farmers and others are unable
to secure sufficient help. There is

GRAY MATTER AND CLOTHES
How a Smart Girl Copied Hat she
Saw in Shop Window, Making
Most Clever Reproduction.

Read about these two clever things
that one girl did whose allowance for
clothes was nothing what it should
have been, which only goes to prove
that pocketbooks don't always make
smart clothes and that gray matter
has lot to do with it. She saw a hat
she liked in a smart shop window. Ii
was a tricOrn, with the most adorable
trimming cockades on each of the three
sides. But she couldn't afford it. How
ever, she went straightway and bought
a plain silk tricOrn and then proceed
ed to copy those fetching little cock
AIDES. She painted a wooden button
mold with some gilt paint, then covered
it with some dainty figured chiffon.
The result was that of an enameled
ornament. She then used some long
yellow and black beads. which she had
on hand, and arranged them around the
button as spokes in a wheel, backing
the whole thing with plating Of the
folded chiffon.
This same girl did wonders to @
plain blue chiffon blouse designed tC
be worn with dark blue suit, but moi
quite dressy enough as 1t stood wheI
bought.

bottom with a deep fi0unce of silver

Silver embroidery should trim the

No Established WheatleSs
Days, but Pound and Halt
Should Be the Very Limit

The United States food administra-
ton has made wheatless days and
wheatless meals optional in private
homes. But that does not mean the
lid has been taken of. 1t only means
that the question of which day or meal
shall be wheatless is left TO the indi-
vidual household.
In other words. the food administra-
ton has made the reduction OF wheat
consumption a test of good citizen
ship. Each citizen in the land is
asked. as a good American, 10 cut his
individual wheat consumption to
pound and half week. That means
TO cut the ordinary, peace-time con-
sumption in two. 1t doesn't matter on
what day or what meals that is done,
lust so it is done. In that regard the
food administration says:
'Tn making optional the observance
of wheatless days in private homes
the food administration lifted no re-
strictions upon the consumption or
wheat products. 1t is merely asking
the American people TO reduce their
per capita consumption to not more
than ~ pounds per week,
"This is an absolute military neces-
sity. The method of saving is being
left entirely TO the individual. If ii
can be done without foregoing the use
of wheat at any specified meal or on
any day, the food administrations ur'
| cont rloo for further conservation will
be carried out to the letter"

Gowns Suitable for All Occasions
and All Ages.
May Be Relieved by Use of CoIored
Lining and Touches of Jet
and Metallic Lace.

With the spring season almost upon
US, nearly every woman will have need
of a smart new evening gown. Some
thing simple and dignified is looked for
i'm these days of economy, says a
fashion authority, and women gladly
pass up the frivolous frocks Of more
prosperous days. Black is tremendous
~ popular for evening wear, but it is
usually frightened by quantities OF
fine jet or metallic lace.
One Of the loveliest black evening
gowns is made of black tulle over soft
satin. If you have a black satin or
charmeuse afternoon frock, the waist
of which is worn, you can use that to
great advantage. If the skirt is rather
narrow, use it as the foundation.
First make a plain drop skirt OF
black net over the satin, reaching down
TO the hem. A narrow band of JET
sewed to the net will give it weight
and make it hang we'll. A tunic with
four points, also bordered with jet
goes over the net skirt and falls 6
little longer than usual.
This tunic can be deliberately EN-
broidered in jet beads, or you can buy
black net that is already embroidered
However, it is not difficult to do one
self, and if white tissue paper is held
under the net, it will not be so hare
on the eyes. Later, carefully rip tn
paper away.
The bodice of the gown should b
extremely simple. Make a plain dar
| fitted foundation of black satin an
drape the net over it in soft folds
Shoulder straps of jet hold the bodice
while two loops of jet slip over tn
arm. Or you can make a bodice Q
net with long sleeves fiaring at tn
wrist. A jet band is the only trim
ming on the sleeve.

PLAN AHEAD FOR
BETTER POULTRY

One must plan ahead in order TO be
successful in any line of endeavor.
Poultry keeping is no exception, writes
an authority. If you do not have the
breeding birds you need for the seas
on of 1918, now is good time TO get
them. There is q countrywide scare
ity of good birds for breeding purposes,
and one must expect to pay somewhat
higher prices than in past years. 1t
will not pay to get inferior birds in or
der to save little of the purchase
price.
If you are just starting, or If you
want new blood, you can buy either
more likely to buy stock because they
C not usually handle eggs SO care
| fully as women and also because uSu-
ally they have more money TO spend.
| To buy stock is the safer plan, of
course, and on the whole is better, but
| 1t costs more money. For both stock
and eggs prices are high and will con
| tinue so. One cannot expect TO buy
eggs for Matching in 1913 in quantities
at So per hundred. Such low prices
are now absurd for eggs from stock OF
any decent quality at all.
Most poultry breeders, except those
who have q large number of birds o.
superior quality, are compelled to re
plenish their flock with new blood al
most every year. Our flocks eithe
go up or go down. Just because price
are higher than normal we must b.
careful TO get good quality in wha
we buy. This is q time when POO
stuff will not pay. There never wa
a time when it was so true that 9TH
best is none too good" 1t does nc
pay to keep inferior fowls now.

Why They Are Called Tumblers.

About 1900 years ago the Saxons in
England used drinking vessels that
were made of horns of cattle or oxen.
They were shaped like cones. As their
bottoms were pointed they would not
stand erect. When man had his drink
ing horn filled he disposed of its con-
tents at single draught and did not
lay ii down until he had drained 1t.
These horns were tumblers in the sense
that they would not stand upright. Al
though our modern glasses do not have
this Objectionable quality. the name
that originated in early Saxon times
still persists.
