der II you mean that you went ahead
about your business. Wages went
up and prices went up and you bought
Liberty Bonds the first times and you
helped with the Red Cross and so on
But 1t makes me sick to hear 3
man who never got out of rife shot OF
his own front door says that he did
as much to help win this war as the
man who hoped over in No Mans
Land and wrestled with the barbed
wire, with machine gun bullets and
Bosch bayonets. That is plain bunk
You've got a good ways to go yet.
my friends, before you can say that.
| here and now call a meeting at the
Opera House this night at 1880 and
let's be there and see if we can't
keep this town from acting like an an
mex of Hun land about this Liberty
Bond business"
Before noon every huDran being in
Jacksonville heard about it. Some
were angry, some were ashamed, 9TH
ers were enthused and the town
buZzed like a hornets nest.
A Town Redeemed.
But a flag here and there began
to make it's appearance. Men began
to do sums in mental arithmetic. They
also began to make up their minds to
get to the night meeting. The thing
was more serious than they had
thought Sergeant Colvin spent a
busy afternoon. When Sid Price
heard he was headed for his office he
hurried out, climbed in the blackboard
and struck out for the country to be
gone two days. Colyin made house
toulouse canvass of the village. He
said some stirring things and some
jarring things. But Jeffersonville was
getting wider awake every moment.
Jacksonville didn't like TO look at
its own actions, when it became fully
awake. The phones were busy that
afternoon and early evening. The
town was making up its mind. There
was much scanning OF quotas past and
present There was much furtive hur-
rying to and fro in the early evening
Then came 1880 and the hall was
damned early-every seat flied. The
crowd had hardly settled when Gid
Brown rose and walked heavily up
the aisle, clambered to the little stage
and raised his hand.
"Ycu know what we are here for,
he said we have been mighty
foolish little town. This day we were
reminded that we were still in the
United States. We had been acting
as though we had forgotten it or Sc
coded from it.
Nov, wo can make this thing short
and snappy. Blanks have been dis
tributed. There is no use in any
speeches. Let's put our names down.
raise our part Of this loan and do the
talking afterwards"
Oh, yes, about every man in the
town enrolled himself. Yes, Ben Ochs.
Teuton enough to scent trouble for
himself if he didn't, was one OF the
first subscribers. He had seen to
it that other Teutonophiles had done
the same. The quota was well ov =
subscribed, the next day a few s,rag
glers were rounded Up and Jefferson
vile came back into the United States
of America with whoop.
and they located Sid Price on
country phone line down in the river
bottom country and in the bearing on
some thirty eavescrvpDers on the Inns
told him what his quota would be. Il
was a little bigger than it was in the
Fourth Lean. brt he gave the com
rit,ee no back ak.

Maybe if Sim Whites bull dog
hadn't taken this exact instant to hop
all spraddled out on Jerry Keegan's
mastiff, Ochs would have gone on and
said what was in the Teuton heart Of
him and Jeffersonville would have
promptly resented it and in the act
Of setting Ben Ochs right would prob

dog fight drew EN- all into the half
lighted street and by the time the
two pups had been hammered apart
the gang that poured out of Jackson's
harness shop had just about forgotten
any and everything that had been
said.
1t was mild winter and the folks
OF Jeffersonville were abroad good
deal. The farmers from the surround
ing country were in town regularly all
winter long. But in all the little
groups that IorlLcd on street corners.
in the Post Office, in the stores and
at the railway station, little was said
about the coming Liberty Lean.

OF General Press bureau, war Loar
Organization, Eighth District.
Somehow the very first mention q
Ia Fifth Liberty Loan left the little
town of Jefrersonville cold.
And yet Jeffersonville had been
patriotic enough in the flaming days
when the men of America were set
ting their faces toward the East and
moving by train and truckload to the
Atlantic ports. It's boys had gone
some by enlistment, some by the
slower process of the draft. It's women
had worked their fingers sore in the
Red Cross rooms over the Town Hail.
The war drives had gone through with
whoop. The Liberty Bond quotas,
those of the First, the Second, the
Third and the Fourth had been over
subscribed at the last minute. Yes,
Jacksonville had been average pa
triotic.
Maybe it was war WEAKNESS. May
be it was just indifference, feeling
that as soon as the boys came home
everything would fall back into the
old comfortable ways of the days be-
fore the Kaiserlings went mad back
in 1914, and that a restful, even a
lslumberous peace would again des-
Icend over the old-timey brick and
frame houses and the maple-lined
streets that wandered on out into the
country and lost themselves in pleas
ant country highways through corn
fields, alfalfa meadows, clumps OF
woods and gently rolling hills.
But this time Jeffersonville was
sort of resentful. The boys were
coming back one end two at a time.
Jeffersonville wanted them all back
at once. The oracles under the maple
trees, the loungers by the stove in
the cobbler's shop, the drugstore hang
ers on, the pool room followers, they
were all airing their views.

Sulphur Rock, March 19.- The people of Sulphur Rock and surrounding country were somewhat surprised by the marriage of R. c. Williamson (Uncle Bob) to Mrs. Maggie Duncan which occurred at the home of Justice J. H.

 After the ceremony, con- gratulations were given the happy couple, and the rest Cf of the evening was spent in music in which all took part and had a general good time. At a late hour we took our leave, wishing the newlyweds much joy and happiness throu-

Many persons around New ark have been rather discour- aged of late on account of the drear prospects for the open ing up of spring, while others have played the part of the early bird, etc" and have al- ready planted gardens, truck patches and commenced the spring farming.
 But the advice of The Jour- nal's weather man has always been to Go Slow" and wait fer the correct signs-signs that are sure not to fail and are guaranteed proof against a return of King Winter.
 Many of the older genera ton can tell you the correct time and just when to plant your garden, when to prune your orchard, and do the other thousand and one things con- nected with the coming of spring. But We are told that these aged prophets depend on the moon and other things which, we are nearly certain are very unreliable.
 The Journals weather man has observed of late years that it pays to watch the local signs, and a close observation has shown them to be nearer cor rect and lots more reliable than information contained in Doan's official kidney pill di- rectory, and our weather man has never yet had a crop fail- ure.
 One of the first local signs to appear that brought us tt a sudden realization that it was time to grow another crop of greens was when w. E. Self had his moustach entirely eras- ed at the local tonsorial par Tor, and we observed, that fol- lowing closely upon this first sign Col. Walling has gently but firmly raised the "ear-

 But, dear reader, our weath- CT man then did not make a rush for the seed store nor proceed tG spade up his two- by-four garden, for behold, the fourth and remaining sign, up to that time, had not appeared.

DAY OF I0cusIs GONE,
SAYS HILLENMEYER
Fayette County Nurseyrian Declares
Farmers Need Not Fear
Visitation.

The day of the locust in Central
Kentucky Is past, and farmers need
have no fear of the coming OF the
"seventeen-year locusts" which ento-
mologists say is due in Kentucky and
the nation this year, according to II.
F. Hillenmeyer, Fayette county nur-
seryman. BIT little damage was done
in the last visitation of the insects,
which are properly known as cicadas'
said Mr.. Hillenmeyer in a letter to
The Herald, which is as follows:
an your Monday issue the article
on the coming of the locusts was read
with much interest However, little
apprehension need be felt. The day
of the locusts in Central Kentucky is
gone "for keeps"
"The great visitation of 1885 is WV
idly recalled. The locusts appeared
in Jne, most abundantly in groves ana
woodlands. Emerging from the earth,
they crawled to variable heights up
the stems, chung to the bark and then
wiggled out of their coats, after the
fashion of a snake from its old skin.
1t is recalled that they could not fly
at once, but shortly thereafter.
after becoming winged, this insect
does not eat as does the grasshopper
of Kansas or the locust Of Asia, with
which this cicada is often contound-
ed in the public mind. 1t is vulner-
able to contact poisons only, and dur
ing the brief time from moulting to
attaining the power of flight. On the
wing it can only be assailed as the
rabbit with salt.
"The eggs are deposited In a rather
deep slit on small branch. The in

and professionals making their daily

at that time, it is also busy for 9TH

If the person persists in visiting
