CAPTIVE VANKS PRINTED
OWN BARRED WIRELESS

Even the discomforts and actual
hardships of a German prison camp
failed to dishearten the American
soldier and proof of this is that al
though handicapped by the fact
that he had no printing press the
irrepressible Yank prisoner sue
ceeded in getting out one rollicking
newspaper, the Rastatt "BarbCd
Wireless The armistice was de-
clared soon after the advent of The
first edition of the laboriously
pencil-printed sheet and with the
liberated Americans making their
way toward home the paper made
no second appearance. One SOL
der preserved the original copy.
however, and several of its fhter-
esting pages are reproduced in the
June number Of The New Red Cross
Magazine, in which also Frank
Ward O'Mallcy tells of the brief BIZ
joyous career of the greatest news
paper in captivity"
One has nokdoubt that in time
the 'Barbed Wireless would have
waxed more ambitious, perhaps ev-
en- to the extent of adding a color
ed supplement printed in beet
marmalade," writes Mr.. O'Malley.
But one November day, when
things were particularly dull within
the enclosure, a most marvellous
message arrived in camp few
minutes after the clock had struck
one in the afternoon. The arlnis-
tice had been signed. And of
equal Importance, a paragraph of
the document insisted that all AL
leid prisoners were to be liberated
forthwith! There were cheers-a
few; but chiefly the great Joy that
surged through the hearts of the
Gagged young eagles of Rastatt took
the form of bearings, wild cavort-
ings, meaningless yelps of song, a
scramble to PACK up ones pitifully
Scant belongings with a hurly-burly
OF haste that indicated that every
American mothers son in camp
fully expected TO board the 1880
ferry for New York or never see
home again."

save Frances It has got to be
done from the bottom, down where
people live in love and labor. And
It is the women who will play the
chief part there. Their task in
the peace which has come is not
unlike that of the poilu in the war
that is past. They come to this
work with the most terrible handi-
caps"
The handicaps, Miss Tarbell finds
are not merely the fact that France
has been striped of the flower of its
manhood while thousands of others
have come back from the war mutt
lated for life, but also include the
problems of employment. Many of
the women who went into munition
plants will not return to their old
work, some because they have been
rendered unfit, some because they
have succumbed to the innumera-
BILE lures of Paris, some because
there is not work for them. There
is the principal rub But, concludes
the writer, it is the handicaps
which force them to their big task.

Secretary of Labor Wilson, address,
ing the convention of the American
Federation of Labor today, coun-
seled organized labor not to parti-
cipate in the proposed national
strike for the liberation of Thomas
Mooney, convicted of completely in

He said the Government was in
vestigating the evidence in the case
in connection with the movement
for a new trial for Mooney and that
workingmen could not properly con-
stitute themselves a jury to try
him.
Secretary Wilson also referred to
the "Bolshevists of the Uneed
States" who. he said were allied
with the |. w. w. and for whom
the workingmen of America had no
sympathy whatever when they I'M

INSANE FROM FLU EFFECTS

A pathetic case of the effects Of
the flu was brought before Us Mon
day when Miss Katie Muffe,t. daugh
ter ofgDud Muffett, of neac shreve.
was tried and adjudged insane in
the County Court here. Miss Muf-
feIt suffered serio1s attack >of
the dreaded influenza last winter
and had not fully recovered and
last Thursday night she became
violently insaue and rsved from
that on until Monday when she was
taken to Hopkinsville. Her men
tai arrangement was made n,ora
pathetic by reason of the fact That
she is only twenty-five years Of age.
While on trial she seemed possess
ed with the idea that she had re!
ceived miraculous power to speak in
tongeus and this seemed to be her
whole thought. She was taken to
Hopkinsville Monday evening where
she was committed to the western
State Hospital for treatment.

Bis OIL AND MINERAL
/ ! COMPANY INCORPORATED
Hold Leases in Ohio County and
Z VIII Operate Here; Capital
lied at 100000

Z The Salt Lick Oil and Mineral
company is the name of a corpora
ton, articles for which were fled
in the county clerks office late Sat-
urday afternoon. The proposed or
ganization will hold leases covering
about 1000 acres in Ohio county,
for the purpose of drilling for oil.
AS in the case of most organizations
of this kind, much interest is mani
fest in the community covered by
the holdings of the company. For
ten years or more, the probability
of the discovery of oil has been
discussed in the neighborhood leas-
ed, and a few of the older citizens
report that oil has been found on
some of the farms held. At the
present time, remnants of oil salt
wells may be seen, some of which
were abandosed long ago because
production was interferred with by
the appearance of OLA commodi-
ty which formerly was not highly
valued.
The Salt Lick Oil and Mineral
ccDnnany is being organized Oy Ros-
ooe }iolbrook, James Kelley and
Wilbur X. Miller, each of whom
own 80 shares of the par value Of
500, and it is their intention to be$
gin drilling as soon as contracts
can be arranged with competent
operators. The capital stock of
the corporation is Gxed-at $780,
1000. The Indebtedness is not to
exceed $4,000.
The Ohio county field bids fair
to rival some of the better known
oil fields of Kentucky, paying wells
already having been sunk there.
The company is to be conducted
by the usual board Of directors and
officers, to be elected by the stock.

G. or. CHIEFS ALARMED
As SPLIT LOOMS Up
Publicity Methods ia 1920 Race
Cause Friction Among
Leaders f

Washington, June 17.-Unless
sUme action is taken in the near flu
ture to eliminate the friction and
the working at cross purposes which
now exists in the management Of
Republican publicity, 1t was admit
ted here to-day by leaders of the
various factions of that party that
tie situation might result in das-
aster for Republicans in 1920. TIE
center of the Republican publicity
dispute is Johnson Bourne, former
United States Senator from Oregon
and now hte president of the Re-
publican Publicity Association.
The cause of the trouble is that
while the Republican National ,in-
mittee, through its OWE publicity
agents, studiously is avoiding any
thing that would put the Republic
cans in the position of accepting
the League of Nations controversy
as a party issue, Mr.. Bourne is issu-
ing every day 500 worth of publi-
city to 1900 Republican newspa-
pers throughout the country, chal-
longing the Democrats in the lame
of the Republican party to fight it
out on that line in the campaign of
1920.

"WHISTLING JACK" BACK
FROM THE WAR.

"Whistling Jack" Collins, the
mocking bird of Hayti, has return
ed from overseas. Jack hal been
sadly missed since he entered the
service Of Uncle Sam. Last Sum-
mer he was the prince royal of the
colored MINISTRIES who furnished
lip music and his shrill mimicry Of
the birds of the air and beasts of
of the field resounded at twilight
over the Hayti hills with pleas
ing cadence that always made one
take notice. But Jack was called
and went to war and We wager the
camps were made vocal with the
sound of his minstrelsy. But now
the war clouds have blown over and
Jack has come back to Darkeytown
and we hope to hear those notes of
melody on our streets once more.
Welcome home, Jack.

SALVATION ARMY CAMPAIGN

!, Work for the Home Service Fund
of the Salvation Army will start
promptly, in fact has already be-
gun, an organization for the drive,
with some of the best men ,and
women of the county in charge hav-
ing been perfected. News from
the State Headquarters at Lexing-
ton, where Colonel l. Sobel is in
change of the State Campaign, is
to the effect that the outlook for
Kentucky going over the top is ex-
cellent and that this worthy or
anization will be given the needed
funds to look after the wants of
returned and returning soldiers as
we'll as they looked after the fight
ing men at the front in Europe.
Sunday, June %, will be Saliva
ton Army Sunday in all the
churches of Kentucky, the minis
ters having been asked to preach at
that time on the work of the Army
at home and what II did for the
soldiers abroad The next day,
June 23, the drive for the Home
Service Fund actually starts and lit
will be completed Monday, June -.
With the problems of establishing
boozeless saloons where there is
any demand for them, finding work
for unemployed soldiers and others
who may want work after the sa-
loon has passed out, there will be
plenty of use for the fund to be
raised in this drive and Commander
Booth and her CO.
workers at the head of the Array
are sufficient assurance that it will
be properly expended.
The organization in this county
is composed of the following well
known men:

tinues, according to German news
papers. The beginning of this
withdrawal was made several weeks
ago, when there was a hitch in
peace negotiations. The withdraw
al of troops from various sectors
opposite the allies bridgeheads is
also reported.
Several days ago the removal of
material from the Frankfort area
began. The most Of this material
is going in the direction of Cassel,
but there are no indications that 1t
is being unloaded there, that city
being on a line over which the Am
orleans would advance should the
allies be ordered to move further
into Germany. Beyond the Coblenz
bridgehead much war material has
been withdrawn for a distance of
more than sixty miles. In the
Ruhr district the military retire
ment is virtually complete.
According to German newspapers
industrial plants, banks and civil
ians east of the allies bridgeheads
are making preparations for ev-
entualities in case allied forces
move eastward. 1t is reported that
schools have postponed examina-
tions which were scheduled for
this week.

Il. Il. a. MEETING

The big event of the X. r. A.
this year is the joint session on
Thursday evening June Goth of the
Kentucky Educational Association
and the Kentucky Press Associa-
ton. 1t will be the first time that
the teachers and editors have met
together. These two organizations
represent greater power than any
others in the State, and their COM
ing together on June 26th means
that they are in earnest about the
reconstruction problems which face
us and will pufA together to accom-
plish the tasks they see ahead.
Governor Henry j. Allen, of Kan
sas, is the chief speaker on the X.
E. A. program this year. He was
once Known as the great Western
great orator of the United States.
His work in France during the war
and his nomination and election to
the Office of Governor in his alb
{nce make him a peculiarly dis
Hnguished figure. Governor Allen
is on the Education Committee of
the National Security League and is
having large share in the new
educational program. He has tour
ed this country in the interest of
the Red Cross, suffrage and various
other causes, and whatever his sub
ject or wherever he speaks, there is
usually an overflow meeting.
Kentucky's Governor, one of
Kentuckys editors and Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart will compose the
Kentucky talent on the program
that evening.
There are eleven thousand teach
ers and about five hundred editors
in the State. The First Christian
Church, Louisville, in which shis
final great program is to be given,
may not seat them all but arrange
ments will be made TO take care of
the OVERFLOW and TO have duplicate
programs ii necessary.
R. E. Williams, Secretary of the
X. E. A. and j, c. Alcock, Secre-
tary of the X. A. expect this to be
a record cracking meeting.
