A new FIRM

Articles of incorporation have been
filed for the Cloverport Rapid Transfer
Co Wash Board and his mule, Charger,
forming a partnership under the firm
name of Board & Charger and incor-
porated to run during the life Of Charger.
All cash business will be in the hands
of Wash and all bad accounts will be
charged Otto Charger The company
is capitalized at $40 and can be sued as
well as sue, but if there should ever be a
judgment against the company it shall
be rendered against Charger and should
Judgment be rendered in favor of the
company Wash will collect.
The other day Wash was coming
charging down the street and yelled at
Charger to stop to take on passenger
and Wash had to yell so loud he con
cluded he would look in his ears to see
what was the matter. He peeped in one
of them and out flew an English spar
row, then Wash took a squint in the
other and found a nest of young mice.
After being relieved of his ear trouble
Charger blew his horn and away they
went charging down the street.
Wash says he is dieting Charger on
horse weeds to keep down fatty soon
glomerashum" Of the heart, and that he
is so fastidious he has to drop grain of
corn id the trough in order to get him
started on the weeds.
Wash is going to build silo in order
to house the crop of tobacco he is going
to raise and incidently some horse weeds
so that Charger will have his winter
rations. He says that barring accidents,
and Charger don't charge too much and
break his wagon, he is going to increase
the capital stock to $50 next spring and
go into the general contracting business.
He says he would like to be city scav-
enger but Charger is so delicate about
the stomach and his sense of smell so
acute, he has given up the idea.

THE HISTORIC OLD
GAIT HOUSE.

A despatch from Louisville, KY,
says that "the historic old Gait
House" has passed forever as hotel
and will end its days as a warehouse.
The Gault House was Dickens
hotel" one of the hotels to which the
novelist referred in American
Notes" OF it he wrote, 1--WE we're
as handsomely lodged as though we
were in Paris" Dickens was gener-
Gus in his praise of the American
hotels at which he stopped on his
first visit to this country. Some of
these were Barnum's of Baltimore,
the fremont of Boston, the Carlton
House of New York and the planters
of St. Louis. These have all dis
appeared, although the name of the
last is still preserved. The only
Dickens hotels of which the build
ings remain are, perhaps, the Gault
House and the West Point HOTEL
Ed. in New York Sun.

lucky show a decided interest in the
Farmers Community Meetings which
are to be held this summer Twenty
counties have already perfected their
organisations and are waiting to have
their dates definitely fixed. These
dates have to be most carefully ad-
justed so that nothing may conflict
to keep the meetings from being a
pronounced success.
The first group of three meetings
will be held in Bell, Knox and Clay
Counties. Other group meetings will
be held along the L. & N. toward
Louisville. Later the tents and speak
ers will move to reach one or two
groups between Louisville and Gin
cinnati; then into the eastern end of
the State. By early August the west
ern half of the State will be reached.
Any information concerning these
meetings can be had by addressing a
letter to the State Development

AMERICA TO SEND
GRAIN TO EUROPE
1900, 900 Bushels to Be Sent
Altogether. Consumption in
u. S. Has Increased.

Paris, June IA preliminary sur
vey of the import necessities OF Eu-
rope except Russia shows that the
area will need 700,0o0,000 bushels OF
wheat and rye at a minimum or $780,
100000 bushels as possible maxi
mum. Herbert c. Hoover, head of
the allied relief organization, said in
statement issued to-day. The ex-
port surplus of wheat and rye from
the larger exporting countries indi-
cate that the needs of Europe can be
met. Mr.. Hoover estimates the ex-
ports of the United States will be
47O, 100000 bushels.
Through our organization and in
cooperation with the various Govern
ments," the statement says, I'VE have
completed preliminary survey of
the food prospects of Europe and the
import necessities for the harvest year
beginning August 1, and the worlds
supplies available to meet these needs.
Crop Near Normal.
1--WE estimate the total prospective
European yield of wheat and rye out
side Russia, as of May 1, after deduct
ing seed, at 1850, 200, 900 bushels. This
indicates a crop of about n per cent
of pre-war normal. The pre-war con-
sumption, outside of seed was about
2 500, O0O,O00 bushels indicating a net
import of about 950,OO0,0O0 bushels,
If consumption were normal next
year. The somewhat diminished pop
ulation and the diminished buying
power initiate against full normal
consumption, but the least possible
consumption with the maintenance
of publo health we estimate at 1885,
100000 bushels, or an import on a
minimum basis of about 100000, 900
bushels.
THE consumption will necessarily
be to great degree a factor of the
financial recuperation and ability to
pay for imports and is also influence
ed by the tendency to eat more bread
and less of the more expensive meat
and fats. Restriction of consump-
ton will require continuation of the
rigid control of distribution. People
Everywhere are sick of rations and
every State will make a supreme eff
fort to get from under this blight
Some countries, therefore, will get
away from the minimum so that an
import demand of s5O,OOO,OOO bushels
| is possible.
Big Surplus Likely.
| "The present stocks and crop con-
ditions in the larger exporting coun-
tries would indicate that there should
be in the coming harvest year an ex-
port surplus of wheat and rye of from
$40, 100000 bushels to 9OO,OOO,OOO bu-
shells, but of this other countries than
Europe require about 1OO,OOO,OOo bu-
shells, leaving the supply of from
no, 100000 bushels to 97o,000,OOO a
valuable for Europe.
1.-THE consumption in the United
States has increased to an extraor-
binary degree in the year. From the
1918 crop of wheat and rye we will
export about 270,OO0,OOO bushels and
as the 1919 crop promises at least
zoo, OOO,o 900 bushels larger than 1918,
it seems that we can export at the
present rate of consumption about
47O, 0OO,OO bushels. The minimum
export surplus from Canada, Argen-
tina, Australia and minor countries
may be estimated at 100000, 900 BUSH
els while Russia and India may be
considered out of the export list next
year."

Seek Legal Restrictions
To-day's conference was called at the
suggestion of former Governor Martin
H. Glynn and Dr.. ohm H. Fin-ey,. re-
Gently appointed by Governor Smith to
investigate the high cost of living: 1t
was attended by district attorneys from
all over the state, state and Federal
officials and men who had been engaged
in other food Investigations and prose
Gutons. It's purpose was to devise leg
station and plan for bringing down
prices and stopping food proiiteerlng
and boarding.
Mr. Glynn in behalf of himself and
DR.. Finley presented report in which
was recommended clearing house
composed of the State superintendent
of Banks, the State Commissioner Of
Health and the State Commissioner OF
Farms and Markets to secure coopera-
ton for the enforcement of laws that
tend to bring down the high cost OF
living.
"When the statutes for these de-
partmcnts were written they had in
view only the work of each individual
department" the report said. They
are now in need of co0rdnating and CO.
operating enforcement, and, il in this
work the need Of the Federal reserve
board can be secured we believe a
potential agency for reducing the cost
of living will be created" Arthur
Williams, Federal food administrator
for New York City, said there would
be no doubt about getting aid from
the Federal reserve board.
New Law Suggested
District Attorney Jerome B. Cooper,
of jefferson County, submitted pro-
posed law, providing for the licensing
by the County Clerk of every person
in the business of buying and selling
goods. The fee would be 81 and they
would be required to secure a bond
approved by the County Judge, Of not
less than 500 or more than s. .00C. 10
person thus licensed would be allowed
to exact a profit of more than % per
cent, a larger profit being deemed pre-
sumptive evidence of profiteering and a
violation of the law. Violation is made
q misdemeanor and, in addition to
other penalties, the license to do bust
ness is forfeited

Says Shoe Prices
Are at the Peak

CHOE prices have about reached
~ their peak, according to r. c.
Page, an English shoe man, who
has been in this country for some
time on special mission for
British commercial enterprise. He
is sailing for England to-day, after
having made business connections
with large number of American
shoe manufacturers. He bases his
argument that shoe prices will go
no higher than at present on the
contention that the words supply
of leather at original sourccs is
now 20 per cent in excess of 1914.
'"As soon as this leather moves from
Russia, India, Australia and the
other leather producing countries
into the hands Of the tanners Of the
world, we will see price decline
all along the line. The biggest loser
in the price drop will be the re-
taller, who is now buying shoes for
spring at higher prices than ever
before"
Before coming to this country Mr..
Page made a thorough investigation
of the leather situation in Europe.

Fully panoplied for war, the victors
of Cantigny, Scissors. St. Mihiel, the
Argonne and Sedan, with "Pershing's S

from six army divisions as an escort,
marched in the footsteps Of the armies
of Meade and Sherman.

Civil War passed in review before Pres

But in place of the battered field
pieces of small caihre that featured
the parade of the Union armies there
were to-day huge caterpillar tractors
drawing batteries of S-inch howitZers,
while the 1Ourragere OF france ana
decorations for valor on the breasts of
hundreds of the marchers proclaimed
that the army of to-day had returned
victorious from q war on foreign soil.
Airplancs, balloons, tanks and ma

since Generals Meade and Sherman led
their long columns past the White
House.
