The American Red Cross has just
built and opened a day nursery at
Havre to care for 80 babies whose
mothers are among the 1900 Belgian
Refugee Women employed in local
industries. The building contains
necessary beds, bathing facilities,
diet kitchens and laundry and is in
charge of experienced nurses.
Mothers of very young babies are
permitted by their employers to visit
the Creche at regular intervals to
nurse their children.
The nursery is used also as a CEN
ter to demonstrate the proper care
and feeding of babies.

Kentucky's crop prospects at pres.
eat may be summarized as being q
wheat crop Of approximately H.
10000 bu. compared to 100000
bu, last year; corn 106,774,OO0 bu.
compared to 122, $50, 900 bu. in 1917;
oats 100000 bu. compared to
/ 100000 bu. last year; rye 100000
bushels compared TO $4,000 last
year; barley $4,000 hu, compared
to 100000 bu, last year; Irish pota-
toes 100000 bu. compared TO
6,T2O,OOO bu, last year; and SCI ILL.,
GOO lbs. Of tobacco compared to
4s6,6OO.0 900 lbs, grown last year,
Corn has been badly damaged by
the dtouth in some sections, but the
late corn may be able very largely to
overcome the damage il the rest of
the season be favorable.
Although the tobacco crop is APP
parenty seriously cut, in this state,
by the drouth it should be remember
ed that tobacco can grow out Wen
derfully from drouth damage in
very short time late in the season,
and former reports of great drouth
damage to the tobacco crop have Of
ten proved deceptive because of
quick growth late in the season.
However, the crop in Kentucky has
apparently been seriously damaged.
Lac potatoes will probably yield
better than the early crop. The
buckwheat crop, near Somerset, is
reported in good condition, with an
increased acreage.
Condition reports on minor crops
follow, the first percentage being for
Kentucky and the second for the
entire United States: all hay 1882,
timothy S7-S1, alfalfa 1888, millet
1914, pastures S0-75, field peas So

THE WAR ANGELUS

At recent meeting of the Wom-
ans Committee of the Council Of
National Defense, it was suggested
that Mt. Sterling follow the example
of many other towns and ring the
War Angelus every day at noon. As
this bell peals out on the stroke Of
twelve it is a signal for every one
to pause moment and offer pray
er for the success of our cause in
the war and for the safety of our
boys wherever they may be. The
County Judge has given his hearty
consent for the use Of the Court
House bell for this patriotic pur-
pose, and it will be rung at noon as
long as the war lasts. Sunday the
War Angelus was heard for the
first time in Mt. Sterling and every
man, woman and child should pray
for speedy and glorious victory.

RED CROSS CANTEEN
WORKERS ATTACKED

The following account Of an at
tack on Red Cross workers has just
been received from the American
Red Cross Headquarters, Paris:
an spite of continuous lombard
ment by German aviators, the Amer
lean Red Cross Canteen Workers
stayed in the town of -
nursing and feeding wounded SOL
diers. The allies had been pushed
back by a surprise attack into the
town and there were no adequate ac-
commodations to take care of all the
wounded. The hospital was quickly
filled. The wounded quickly over
flowed into the streets. Wounded and
dying men lay about unable to move
away no matter how near the avia-
tors bombs were dropping or how
low the aviators flew to use their
machine guns.
At -- the Boche aviators
attacked with their machine guns,
Red Cross and other men while they
were rescuing the victims from a
house that had been destroyed by an
aerial torpedo. SO that when they
went to succor the wounded, the can
teen workers had no illusions about
the tender attentions Of the Germans.
They went into the melee without
flinching. More than one man lying
in the street hungry and bleeding,
died before he could be attended to.
Several died while the canteen work
ers were in the act of supporting and
helping them"
w. S. s.
We notice that those persons who
are fond of saying that God has
done all for the best have excellent
reasons for believing that He has
done the best for them.
Thou who holdest the years in
thy hand, drive far from me the cow
ard fear of self.
Give me enough wisdom for the
day and enough strength for the
morrow.
Teach my love to remember and
my anger to forget.
Save me from the cowardice that
turns the other cheek, but let me not
strike without good cause.
Help me to understand that no
harm can come to me if rightly /
possess my soul.
Take, oh take not away my illus
ions.

To be ready to feed refugees in
Paris, the American Red Cross work
ers packed individual meals in boxes
ready to hand over to the hungry
homeless the monent they arrived.
The first Of these were used to feed
some $50 people who arrived in
Paris on canal boats at midnight.

The best thing tor steady use is Just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which

than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
