HUNS LOSE FOREIGN
ELECTRICAL CONTRACTS

BERLIN, Germany, Nov. ls-Germany
Is losing foreign electrical contracts
every week because the work of 1000
employees in peace-time can hardly be
done by 1000 now, declares Commercial
Councillor Mammoth OF the General
Electric company in q pessimistic inter-
view il the Lokal AnSelger, He sees
Germany as a patient recovering from
fever-that of the revolution-whose
convalescence Is by nc means certain
yet, and whose temperature may sud
denly change so that he will die.
A relapse Is inevitable unless the
German workman soon gets to think
ing again, says the councillor.
Enforcement OF the five-hour work
ing day, he adds, has cost German
| companies the loss Of business In Swe-
den. Denmark, Holland and FINLAND.
Lack OF will to work n 'absurdly
short working days prevent the Ger
man manufacturer from making deliv-
cries on time.

tered over the low-lying country be-
tween Tpres and Dixmude, scene Of
many a battle. are thousands Of Ger

and Belgian soldiers. as well as civil
ians who have been called into the
gigantic task OF clearing 10 the battle

recovering brass cases and burying the
dead. There is a military efficiency
about their work and the progress they
are making is most gratifying Tor an

One may still see the ruins OF many
British and Belgian tanks, caught IN

broken wrecks. Now they lie rusted

In the mud, others hang preeariously on
the edge Of dilapidated trenches, while
stlll Others stand high in the fields
where they were abandoned by such
Of their crews as survived. Many OF
them are torn and riddled as though
their heavily aTmored sides were little
more than paper.
Perhaps the most Impressive feature
Of this dead and b%lacRened landscape
Is the trees. Gaunt and stark

stand out against the skyline, so many

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT TO
MEMORY OF JOHN T. HINTON,

At meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Bank & Trust Co., held in the Offices
of the Banh, on Wednesday, Febra-
airy IL, the following resolutions of
respect and appreciation of the late
Mr.. J. T. Hinton, were adopted and
made part of the records of the
bank:
Again the official ranks of this
bank has been stricken by the hand
of death and our Vice President and
beloved friend, John T. Hinton, has
been called to his reward.
John T. Hinton was one Of the or
ganizers of the Bourbon Bank and
it's Vice President from the time of
it's organization until it's consolida-
ton with the Agricultural Bank, of
which bank he was also a director for
many years. Since the consolidation
he has been Vice President and was
one of the prime movers in bring
ing about the merger.
John T. Hinton'S connection with
the bank and other financial insti-
tutions of Paris extends over a long
period of time. His hand has helped
to guide through times of panic and
financial stress; he has stood as a
tower of strength, never wavering,
never hesitating to perform faith
fully every obligation devolving
upon him.
Mr.. Hinton was a business man of
extraordinary ability, an advisor in
financial affairs with no superior and
yet man who was always ready to
lend a helping hand and extend
credit where credit was due and
those who know something Of his
private affairs know that he fire.
quently gave credit as an individual
that he could not extend as bank
er. Bourbon county has lost its fore
most citizen; the city has lost its
greatest up-builder in every line for
half a century and the Bourbon-Ag-
ricultural Bank and Trust Com
pany it's stalwart supporter.
We shall greatly miss him and
cherish his memory always. To his
bereaved family we extend our deep
est sympathy for deep and lasting as
may be our sense of grief and of loss
sustained, it is nothing compared to
theirs, for in the loss Of husband,
father and grandfather you have
Sustained a loss that can never be re-
paired in this world.
