GREAT DAMAGE .
Done Cioverport's Beautiful Park
BY Ice Gorge-The Zoo Prac-
ticaIIy Destroyed.

The Henry Edward breckenridge
Gregory Riverside Park has suffered
great loss during the recent cold spell.
High water and tremendous ice gorge
is now lying at the west entrance. The
gigantic hor weeds that formed such a
beautiful shade for the summer loungers
are now Il It on the ground, and really
it looks as it tornado had dtsperadoe d
all over the park.
The Zoo has suffered most on accou Mt
of the cold and too many eatless days
for the animals, there being nothing
left Of the great collection but polar
bear and an educated jay bird.
Jo-Jo, the wild man from the jungles
of Slick Creek, and Zsza, the beautiful
snake charmer from EastIand, crossed
to the Indiana side on the ice, eioped to
Cannelton and we're married and will,
no doubt, populate the earth with holy
terror.
Two beautiful gondolas, a male and
female, imported from Venice at great
cost, were crushed IN the lagoon and
persisted. They roasted on the water
instead of a horse weed
The happy family consisting of snakes,
monkeys, rare birds of all kinds, and a
vicious jack rabbit, all persisted from
exposure.
1t has been Mr. Gregory's ambition
to have park beautiful for Cloverport
and this misfortune has a great depres-
sing effect upon him, as he looks over
the havoc wrought by the great hidden
hand

Varieties of Pearls.

Among the varieties of so-called
pearls there are at times small dark
gray or blacllish pearls. which are
more or less flattened and lack the
jet black luster and perfect shape of
the sO-called black pearls. These are
true pearls, probably secured from pin
ma shell, and possess some small value.
They may be easily distinguished from
the false pearls by their color and
shape. Very small round pearls of "a
golden luster are secured from a small
ayicula that has a beautiful golden
luster on the inside. The avicula shell
is usually less than six centlmeters In
diameter. and have never seen pearl
produced by this shell that was larger
than No. 9 shot. The big, perfectly
round yellow pearls offered for sale
are usually frauds.

HELP TO SAVE FOOD
President Calls Upon All Loyal
americans to Unite
in Campaign
Suggestions Of Food Administration
viii Enable the United States to
Meet Great Responsibility II Promp.
Action Is Taken, Declares President.

Washington, Jan. 26-Following is
text of President Wilson's food-saving
proclamation:
Many causes have contributed to
create the necessity for a more inten-
sive effort on the part of our people
to save food in order that we may sup
ply our associates in the war with the
sustenance vitality necessary to them
in these days Of privation and stress.
The reduced productivity of Europe
because of the large diversion of man.
power to the war, the partial failure
of harvests and the elimination of the
most distant markets for foodstuffs
through the destruction Of shipping,
places the burden of their subsistence
very largely on our shoulders.
The food administration has formu-
lated suggestions which, II followed,
will enable us to meet this great re-
sponsibility.
In order that we may reduce our con-
sumption of wheat and wheat products
by thirty per cent-a reduction imper-
atively necessary to provide the sup
ply for overseas-wholesale jobbers
and retailers should purchase and re-
sell to their customers only seventy
per cent of the amounts used in 1917.
All manufacturers of alimentary pastes,
biscuits, crackers, pastry and break
fast cereals should reduce their pur-
chases and consumption of wheat and
wheat -four to seventy per cent of
their 1917 requirements, and all bakers
of bread and rolls to eighty per cent
of their current requirements. Con.
sumers should reduce their purchases
of wheat products for home prepare
ton to at least seventy per cent of
those of last year, or, when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
breads from the bakers.
The Breckenridge news. (Cloverport, Ky.) 1876-1955, 1918-02-13
Urges Cooperation.

|, therefore, in the national inter.
est, take the liberty of calling upon
every loyal American to take fully to
heart the suggestions which are being
circulated by the food administration
and of begging that they be followed
am confident that the great body OF
our women, who have labored so 10y
ally in cooperation with the food adj
ministration will strengthen their eff
forts and will take it as a part of their
burden in this period of national serv.
i've to see that the above suggestions
are observed throughout the land.

Substitute Potatoes.

To provide sufficient cereal food,
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
potatoes, vegetables, corn, barley, oats
and rice products, and the mixed &C.
real bread and other products of tse
bakers which contains an admixture
of other cereals.
In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays and
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week, and one
meal each days should be observed as
a wheatless meal
In both homes and public eating
places, in order to reduce the consump.
ton CT beef, pork and sweet products,
Tuesday should be observed as meat.
less day in each week, one meatless
meal should be observed in each day;
while, in addition, Saturday in each
week should further be observed as
day upon which to eliminate pork.
a continued economy in the use of
sugar will be necessary until later in
the year.
Ii is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all sorts
of foOdstuffs should be rigidly elimi.
mated.
The maintenance of the health and
strength of our own people is vitality
necessary at this time, and there
should be no dangerous restriction OF
the food supply; but the elimination
OF every sort of waste and the substi.
tuition of other commodities of which
we have more abundant supplies for
those which We need to save, will IN
no way impair the strength OF our
people.

vidual soldier has plenty OF chances
of coming out of the war unscathed,
or the least not badly injured.
Based on the mortality statistics Of
the allied armies, a soldiers chances
are as follows:
Twenty-Five chances of coming
home to one chance of being killed.
Forty-nine chances of recovering
from wounds to one chance of dying
from them.
One chance in 500 of losing limb.
VIII live five years longer because
of physical training, is freer from
disease in the Army than in civil
life, and has better medical care at
the front than at home.
In other wars from 10 to Is men
died from disease to 1 from bullets;
in this war 1 man dies from disease
to every 10 from bullets.
For those of our fighting men who
do not escape scatheless, the Govern
ment under the soldier and sailor in
surance law gives protection to the
wounded and their dependents and to
the families and dependents of those
who make the supreme sacrifice for
their country.

ing to the May report of the Bureau
of Statistics and Labor. The same
report goes on to say:
In this one-year period the only de-
cline in price is that of potatoes
This article decreased 81 per cent
'ornmeal shows the greatest increase
or rs per cent. Sugar shows the
least increase, or 4 per cent.
The increases in the prices of the

A NEW WORLD.

On every hand we hear the hopeful
sentiment expressed, ut will be a new
world after the war"
And so 1t will; indeed it is new
world already. If year ago any
one had predicted half that has come
to pass we should have stoned him
as an evil prophet and declared his
predictions impossible.
But here we are raising wheat un-
der price fixed by the Food Admin
istration. The Government operation
Of railroads has come suddenly, even
naturally dream realized over
night with neither opposition nor
disaster. Both our food and our fuel
are so thoroughly controlled that
he amount of sugar and -four we may
eat, the temperature at which we may
keep our homes, and the proportion
of the staples of life we are individu-
ally allowed to purchase or to pos
sess are determined for us by elected
autocrats perhaps some hundreds of
miles away-and all in the name of
democracy.
What we may not eat or wear and
what we may not consume in manu-
facture are decided now on the score
of public welfare, not upon private
choice or the ability to pay. We shall
urtail our buying of expensive autos;
for example, for the very good reason
that they will not now be made in
unlimited numbers. The antitrust
laws are knocked into cooked hat.
and certain combinations Of trade
that have been hitherto declared IL
legal are now demanded by the high
est necessity.
What is most remarkable is the fact
that most of our regulations are eX-
tra-legal, inspired for reasons OF pub
lie welfare, accepted and observed by
common consent, and enforced by
public opinion.
The old law of every man for
himself and the devil take the hind
most" seems to have been tumbled
into the discard, and men work and
die now, not for themselves but for
democracy-the right of the fellow to
live has life. To this end the rich
and the poor, the exhalted and the
humble labor together. performing
all things needful. No longer is any
necessary thing labeled mental" and
every man is, for the time at least,
his brothers keeper" Who would
have imagined a year ago that so
much could have been so quickly &C
omplished in a single twelve months!
SO far have we gone along the high
way of progress and toward new
world-so much for having been scar
ed stiff and for once in our lives
brought face to face with fundamen-
tai realities.
