that the temperature was 100 Satur-

Friday was warm enough and the
parade marched through smoking

yesterday-it was mo wonder that
people cranked up the car and hunted
the hills, for the official thermometer
hunted up little nick at the 9S point
and hung on there.
The rain last night cooled things

all the way from Pennsylvania yester-
day to take walloping from the Con-
sumer's Fuel Company team to the

Star City made a good start and nosed

just simply went up the spout Snyder

the first inning pitched air tight ball.
His support was fine, being featured
particularly by the work Of MCGEE in

Of the niftiest games OF the at home

Says Blue Stands
For Things That
Are Worth While
What Is your favorite color?

What is your favorite color?
Which of the cardinal colors of
the rainbow do you most prefer?
What tint, SHADE or hue catches
your fancy to an extent that you
prefer It above all others?
Brooks Fleming, Jr., likes blue
best. When approached on the
subject he insisted that blue was
his fayorite color; that there was
something about blue that was
even more attractive to him than
the brillisnce of the red or the
gaudiness OF the yellow.
Blue is the color of the sky,
the background of the armament,
the marvel OF the ocean deep, the
greatest attraction of the violet,
the beauty OF the sapphire, the
richness OF woman's eyes," de-
clared Mr.. Fleming. "The term

HOW TO PREVENT INFLUENZA
AND PNEUMONIA
To the People of Kentucky;

To the People of Kentucky:
During the months Of January,
February and March half Of the
deaths in Kentucky we're caused by
influenza and pneumonia. Fourteen
thousand Kentuckians. Fourteen
these diseases during 1918. Definite
experience in Kentucky indicates
that deaths from these causes are
preventable, and this appeal is writ
| ten for the purpose Of preventing
local epidemics which promise to be
as fatal in many instances as last
year. This statement is not issued
to alarm the people but merley to
call their attention to serious
state of facts and the remedy for
them.
Those who are properly inoculat-
ed rarely develop pneumonia, and
there have been but three deaths re-
ported from this disease in the half
million already inoculated. Mater
ial for incubation is furnished free
by the State Board of Health. Go
to your doctor 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 threats.
1t is frequently difficult even for
doctor to tell bad cold from mild
influenza. Pneumonia, in nearly
every case, is following neglected
mild influenza. If you take cold, 60
home for safety Of the community,
to a well ventilated room by your
self for the safety of your family
and to your bed for your own safe
ty. Send for your doctor, but if
you are unable to get him, take a
dose Of castor oil, drink water
freely, and eat soups, eggs and 9TH
er soft food, sailed to taste. Avoid
whiskey. It neither prevents nor
cures influenza. Stay in bed until
the cold is well, and if you stay by
yourself the chances are you will
not develop pneumonia. If you do
these things and have been inocu-
lated, you are practically certain not
to develop pneumonia. Cover your

TO KEEP SOLDIERS BUSY

When seventy three soldiers came
home to Butler County, KY, the city
of Morgantown, Of course, cele-
brated. After the shouting was ov-
er, the county agent got the boys to-
gether to talks things over quietly.
In writing about this meeting, the
agent said:
81 called the soldier boys together
and talked to them of an organiza-
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-04-22

The story has been careful,
spread by enemies Of the Libert,
Loan that the terms of the Fifth o,
Victory Loan will be very differen
and much harder to meet than those
Of the other loans. Secretary Glass
has made the following official an
nouncement as to the terms:
Ten per cent must be paid with
the application;
Ten per cent must be paid on
July Is;
Twenty per cent must be paid
August IL;
Twenty per cent on Sept. o;
And the last payment, 20 per cent.
must be made on Nov. IL.
Does that sound very drastic and
unreasonable And with the last
payment made of course all the AZ
crued interest is due, just as it has
been with other loans. Payment
can be completed at any time on the
installment dates with the payment
Of accrued interest to the date on
which the payment is made. There
is very little difference in the char
acter of the issues. Technically
the Fifth bonds are not bonds but
notes, but they are both long tern
promises of the United States of
America to pay certain sum OF
money with interest at a certain
time. In brief, the bonds may run
periad Of 10 years or more, while
the notes will run five years.
As to affording the money for the
bond payments, well that is an in
dividual matter and each American
will have to fight that out with his
own conscience. For it becomes a
matter of conscience, this question
as to whether a man shall or shall
not support his government when
that government calls upon him. The
terms are made such that no man
can conscientiously point to them
and say that they debar him from
putting his money back Of his Gov
eminent.
The last payment comes away
long over the shoulder Of the year,
in far-off November. The first real
ly important payment of 20 per

KENTUCKY STUDENTS PAY

This suggestion is contained in a
report of the New York state re-

Abraham l. Elkus, former United

The postoffice department has
aided the movement for rural mo-

experiments, but by placing motor

department has certain plans for u.s.

In March, 1918, the postofice de-
partment made it's first experiment
with motor express. At o'clock
one morning they loaded a motor
truck at Lancaster, Pa, with $4,000
chicks, and started it off for New

vided into districts, each district has
been mapped out in motor truck
routes, and dozens of lines are run
ming and making money for them
selves besides serving the farmers,
the little villages and the central
cities.
In recommending immediate action
by the state of New York to eneour-
age the establishing of rural motor
truck lines, the commission says:
The local motor truck lines will
take one milk can or a dozen; one
bushel of apples, one crate of ber

pound of nails or a piano. And they
For example, Maryland farmer
had been feeding his cream to the
pigs because he did not have enough
to ship by the railroad and couldn't
afford to haul it to town himself. A
truck line was started that passed
near his farm, and he Immediately
sent his cream to market at a good
price. He was the gamer, and so
were the people in town, who wanted
that cream. The pigs were fattened
on less expensive diet. Twenty
two of these lines are now operating
in Maryland; fifteen out of Baltimore
alone. Thirty trucks cover a total of
1874 miles a day on these routes.
Some of them run in and out of
Washington; and 1t is said that but
for these trucks, there would have
been an absolute milk famine in that
city. The Baltimore trucks carry a
hundred tons of food into town every
day, and hundreds Of patrons along

conditions
