CLOSE WORK AT LOCAL BOARD

Messrs John f. Reading and
Henry Dickerson and Miss May
Rome, who were sent to Hartford
to straighten out the records of
the Local Exemption Board, have
now completed their work and left
for their respective homes Monday.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Reading
who was clerk of the District Board
at jacksonville, came to Hartford
and found the records in quite
"balled up" condition, owing to the
mixing of order and serial num-
bers. Finding that it would re-
quire considerable time to straight
en- out the records. Mr.. Reading re-
quested Mr.. Dickerson, clerk of the
local board at Russellville, to help
him; he in turn sent for Miss Rome
clerk at Morganfield and the trio
have now effectually whipped the
records into shape. All of the
three made many friends during
their stay in Hartford.

AssAILANT OF "TIGER" TO DIE

Paris.-Emile Coffin, the an
archist who recently made an at
tempt upon the life of Premier
Georges Clemenceau, was to-day
sentenced to death by the court
martial which was trying him.
The verdict of the court-martial
was unanimous.
Emile Coffin, the assailant of
Premier Clemenceau, first conceiv-
ed the idea of shooting the Premier
in May, 1918, according to an Off
cial record read at the court-mar-
tial of Coffin, which opened to-day.
In May, 1918, the employees of avia-
ton factories were on strike. Coffin
practiced shooting after that, 1t
was said.
When the court-martial opened
the clerk read the report describing
the attempt on the Premier. The
report showed that Coffin fired
twice without moving and then fir
ed five times while running behind
the automobile to which he was So
close that one witness believed he
had jumped on the rear of the car
1t was shown that Coffin aimed al
the seat in which Premier Clemen-
ceau was sitting and fired so ac.
curately that two bullets almost
touched it.
Rarely has crime" says the
report, "been accomplished with
more sustained generalization
more mature design and more i'm.
placable tenacity, with a certainty
of method which it seemed would
infallibiy lead to a fatal result"
Coffin is described in the report
as primitive, vain and conceitet
and believing himself omniscient
He was able to earn thirty-sever
francs day easily, yet, finding SO
ciety badly organized, was desirou:
of destroying everything. The decu
ment gives expert medical opinion
unreservedly holding Coffin re
sponsible for his actions.

TO THE PEOPLE
OF OHIO COUNTY
State Board of Health Says to
Be InnOcuIated for
the Influenza.

The State Board Of Health, the
United States Public Health Ser
vice and the Red Cross are united
in this appeal to every citizen of
kentucky to help in lessening the
spread of Influenza and the develop
ment of pneumonia.
Nearly four hundred thousand
Kentuckians suffered from these
diseases last year, and fourteen
thousand died from them. Deaths
and sickness can be greatly lessen
ed this year if each individual will
do his part in avoiding them.
Have yourself and family and ev-
cry one dependent upon you in
oculated at once. Nearly five hun
dred thousand have been inoculat-
ed in Kentucky. Very few of
these have developed influenza, and
less than dozen have died from
pneumonia. Material for inocula-
ton is furnished free by the state
Board of Health. Go to your doc
tor and be inoculated. If YOU are
not able to pay for the service, go
to your Health Officer and have it
done without cost. Avoid visiting
the sick, especially if they have
colds or sore throats. -,
1t is frequently difficult even for
FA +nn
mild influenza. Pneumonia, in
nearly every case, is following neg
lected mild influenza. If you take
cold, go home for the safety of the
community, to a well ventilated
room by yourself, for the safety OF
your family, and to your bed for
your own safety. Send for your
doctor, but if you are unable to get
him, take a dose of Castor oil,
drink water freely, and eat soups,
Ieg2s, and other soft food, sailed -
taste. Avoid whiskey. 1t Meth
er prevents nor cures influenza. q
Stay in bed until the cold is we'll,
and ii you stay by yourself the
chances are you will not develop
pneumonia. If you do these things
and have been inoculated, you are
practically certain not to develop
pneumonia.
Cover your nose and mouth with
your handkerchief when sue'2ils
or coughing, and persuade others
to do so. Don't go where crowds
are, and if you find yourself where
someone is sneezing and coughing,
leave Immediately.
Local epidemics of influenza are
now occurring and are likely to oc-
cur from time to time for the next
two or three years, but they can be
acoided by any community family
or individual il they will do these
things.
BE inoculated today!

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
TO BE CALLED UPON
TO ASSIST RAILROADS

Washington, March 1.-THE ex-
tent of the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN to be used to assist in the
financial operation of the rail-
roads pending an appropriation by
congress, was discussed today be-
tween Secretary Glass, Director
General Hines, Governor Harding,
of the Reserve Board and War
finance corporation officials. 1t
was not determined whether rail-
road notes, secured by railroad ad-
ministration of warrants, which
may be issued to the roads, might
be eligible to rediscount with FEEDER
al Reserve banks. This procedure
would open the vast credit and re-
sources of the federal reserve sys-
TEN to the railroad companies.

BIG RISE SEEMS IMMINENT.

After three days of almost con-
tinuous rain, with an incessant
downpour all day Sunday, there Is
the prospect of one of the biggest
rises in the history of this section.
The river is on a rampage and it's
angry waters seem spreading,
though perhaps il has reached its
crest. The lowlands are inundat-
ed and the farmers fear that they
will be set back many weeks in
their farm work. Rough river and
all its tributaries being swollen
end all pouring their waters into
the Green will likely precipitate a
great food of backwater, and the
lands below Hartford will doubt
less be covered for several days at
least. 1t is hoped that there will
be no rise such as occurred in 49,
10, but indications are that when
the food of water reach the Ohio
and the Mississippi, the channels
will not carry the volume and per-
haps result in a bursting of the le-
wees as was the case before. At
any rate the high tide of he flood
will likely be past at Hartford in
a few days.

PIE SUPPER
Is GREAT SUCCESS.

One of the most delightful ev-
ents of the season, both from a So
cial standpoint and as an entertain
ment, was the pie supper given by
last Thursday night. A large
crowd was present and all seemed
to enjoy the evening. After a
short but pointed address by Judge
r. r. Wedding, program, both
unique and entertaining was rem
dered. 1t consisted chiefly of
drills and songs by the lady Macca-
bees, with some excellent songs
and musical renderings. Rev. A.
d. ,Litchfield and his daughter,
Miss Ruth, sang beautiful. duet
and also a solo was sung by Bro
Litchfeld, and being in the negro
dialect it brought down the house
After the program was completed
the pies were offered for sale, Rev
Litchfield acting as auctioneer
There was considerable spirited
bidding, some of the pies bringing
, record prices. 1t was nearing the
midnight hour when the last of the
crowd left the hall, with a great
deal Of gratitude to the ladies'. or

also quite financial success, the
ladies realizing something like S7G

HEAVY PENALTY PROVIDED
FOR BUYING DISCHARGE
PAPERS FROM SOLDIERS,

Grafters who are buying the dis
charge papers of soldiers and sail
ors ARE flirting with federal peniten-
tiary doors. Commenting on this
practice the Paducah Sun says:
Reports have come to The Sun
through the officer in charge of
naval recruiting here, that certain
unscrupulous persons have been
approaching discharged soldiers
and sailors with offers Of money for
their discharge papers, giving $50
for the discharge and sending it
In for collection of the $50 bonus.
This is a nefarious practice and
will bring severe penalties upon ap-
prehension of the guilty ones. No
soldier or sailor should, under any
circumstances, surrender his hon.
orable discharge. II is the only
document on which he can depend
for the collection OF bonus, future
pensions, or in any way prove his
identity satisfactorily, to the gov
eminent, in case he has need to do
SO. Men who would purchase the
discharges are exhibiting the lowest

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

Our attention has been called to
an error that appeared in The Her.
aid a few weeks back in reporting
the finding of some whiskey in the
possession of Mr.. Herbert Chinn.
The article states that there were
twenty-four quarts found, which is
not the case. There were twenty
four pints found, so we are inform
ed. = We snow nothing about the
circumstances of the "raid" in
which this whiskey was found as
we were in Alabama at the time. but
we are glad attention was called to
this error as such things should be
presented in their PROPER light.

Paris.-The Paris police have
taken hand in the proposed aerial
duel between Leon Vaudecrane and
Robert Schroeder, former army
aviators. The police give two rea-
sons why the duel should not be
held, namely, that duelling is for
hidden and that people below

1t is suggested, however, that
the aviators might hold their duel

FARMING EXHIBIT IS
SHIPPED TO FRANCE
Y.M.C.A, Will Instruct ThOus-
ands OF American
Boys There.

New York, March 15.-A $780,
900 farming exhibit is being ship
ped this week to France by the War
Work Council of the Young Mems
Christian Association to be used
for the instruction of thousands of
soldier in the American Expedi-
tionary Force, who want to return
to the farms when their regiments
are demobilized. The exhibit was
assembled by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture at the re-
quest of the War Department.
1t includes samples of soil from
every county of the United States,
dairy utensils, egg, testers, cereal
and corn samples insecticides and
fungicides, and other material suf-
ficient to fill five cars.
With this material will go to
France four government experts to
supervise the setting up OF the ex-
hibit and to prepare for the work
of instruction in France. These
experts will remain with the Ex-
peditionary Force four months to
teach men assigned from the army
so that the work of instruction can
continue as long as the American
troops are held overseas. A A.
Ormsby, of the Department of Agri-
culture, is in charge of the exhibit.
1t is announced that the shipment
of this material is the result OF a
widespread demand among the
fighting men overseas for instruc-
ton in agriculture. DR.. Kenyon L..
Butterfeld, president of the Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College and
members of the Y. NJ. c. A. Army
Education commission, has estimat
ed that one-fourth of the men in
the American Experitionary Force
came from the farms of America
and that similar proportion of
them want to return to the farms
when their military service is end
ed.
On it's arrival in France, the ex-
hibit will be divided into four parts
loaded on trucks and moved from
camp to camp for demonstration.
The government will pay the
salaries of its experts and the Y.
M. C. A. will pay their expenses
1t is expected that the military
authorities will assign several hun
dred instructors from the army to
use this exhibit in agricultural
education. 1t is announced that
the Y. NJ. C. A. sent to France in
January more than 100000 worth
of text books part of which bear
upon courses of agriculture and
that these sources are open to all
fighting men Of the United States
as long as they remain overseas.
Shipment of samples of soil is
intended to enable the soldier to
discover how best to utilize the
farm lands of his home town
whether he may come from Main
or Oregon. The Bureau of Plant
Industry has contributed exhibits
showing how to fight insect pests
and fungous disease of plant life,
and the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, has contributed model farm
buildings, dairy and poultry barns,
and silos. By the use of these
and other exhibits, the soldiers
will be taught scientific farm man
agement.

last week by Master Joseph Car

are very plentiful this season, we

tendent Of our schools the past two
years but is now instructor of vocation
al agriculture at Rolla, Mo.
1--WE are getting along splendidly
with our school work. devote all my
time to vocational agriculture. i have
two classes, one in the forenoon and
one in the afternoon. Both classes nre
doing the same work. We devote one
full day each week to shop work. So
far we have put q concrete foundation
in our new shop building, run a con
crete walk from the shop to the high
school building, put in work bench
with vises, a case for our tools and are
now making couple of bookcases for
the high school. The boys enjoy the
work very much. Besides the shop
work we recite four times each week
and do general laboratory work four
times each week. During the summer
| shall supervise the farm work of these
boys. Apparently this work has made
Il great hit" in this community. /.
think it will prove highly successful.
The more learn about the work the
more L see there is in it.
Jasper should have course of this
kind by all means. The state and fed
eraI government pays every cent of my
salary. The local board meets all other
expenses OF the course. After the first
year the cost is not going to be much
to keep the course going. 1t is pretty
high, about 5000, the first year, but it
will pay. i have no time for other
school duties, besides the government
is pretty strict and will hardly let me
or any teacher of vocational subjects
do anything else where they have both
q morning and an afternoon class.
Our school work in general is moving
along very nicely"
