an economic burden this epidemic has
assumed
From a public health standpoint,
however, there has evolved one dis

public sentiment toward the work of
disease prevention Public spirited

forces and in a way that was never
attempted before, and from this
united endeavor will be developed a
new conscience and such a force for
common good that the further pro-
gress of health work will be enhanced
ten fold.
Already the health forces of the
County, stirred as never before. by
such moral support have taken on
new courage, and in the light of the
research work being done and the
plans for intensive use Of every
know agency for prevention the
outlook for the future is agreeably

with those of the health department,
he ignored the latter. And so it
came to pass that when John Harris,
volunteer inspector, ventured into
the gathering place of Hutcherson's
flock, here he found many little chill
dren present. Harris stopped the
meeting.
These children will have to leave
he told the preacher. "The health
commissioner has ruled that children
under 16 years of age can not attend
public meetings"
Get out yourself" Hutcherson
told him.
Harris got out. But he found a
policeman and the two returned.
Preacher Hutcherson chased them
both away. Later they went back,
stopped the meeting and Hutcherson
the Roller was rolled to the police
station
In City Court Judge Sanders asked,
"Why did you let those children at
tend your meeting?"
"The Lord says, Suffer the little
children to come unto me- so l let
them come in" Hutcherson said.
"Yes," said the Judge. True
enough. But when the Lord said

S. w. Hager, chairman of the Kentuc-
ky Workman's Compensation Com
mission and publisher of the Owens
boro Inquirer. died at o'clock to-
night at his home in this city. Judge

eral months, but it was announced
tonight that his condition had taken

CHRISTMAS TOBACCO
MONEY Is PLENTIFUL

Owensboro, KY, Dec. 23-Christ-
mas money is flowing among tobacco
growers of the Green River district.
From sales made in Owensboro they
have been paid total of $1,O77,566.-
40.
There have been 6.919.425 pounds
OF Pryor sold at an everage of $14.97
a hundred.
The Burley sales totaled 1879
pounds, at an average of $19.05.
The Pryor average is $1.55 under
the average realized by growers on
more than 100000 pounds at this
time last year
The past week saw the greatest
rush of tobacco to Owensboro in the
history of the business. More than
100000 pounds of Pryor tobacco
were sold at an average of s14S3.
II is admitted on every hand that
the prices would have been higher
had there not been such a rush and
congestion of the weed. 1t was with
difficulty that buyers handled their
purchases.
1t is believed that the market will
be stronger after the first of the year
when the sales will be resumed
again.
Big buyers have been cautious in
bidding, and competition has not been
spirited.

HEINz'S GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsbureher
=. Are Declared to Be Almost
" Priceless.

During many years II. J. Heinz OF
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
OF the finest collections of ivory carv-
ings In America. There are probably
a dozen notable collections Of this
sort In the country, and among them
the Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says o writer IN
Scribncr's.
AS a rich and fascinating field for a
discriminating collector ivory carv-
ings are perhaps without Ger. Egc-

been costly, too rare, as q rule, to BIC

of Incompatible treasures. That so
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies in the
very nature of the carvings.

URGES NEW LAW.
Necessary In Order To Save Army
Baker Says

Washington, Dec. 26.-Immediate
legislation authorizing resumption of
voluntary enlistment in the army and
the repeal of provisions of the selec-
tive service act, limiting enlistments
to the period of the war, was urged
today by Secretary Baker in letter
to Chairman Dent, of the House Mill
tary Committee.
Without the legislation, Secretary
Baker said, the army, after the proc
lamation of peace would not have suf-
ficient forces to perform essential mil
itary duties, including the policing
of the Mexican border.
Must BE Discharged.
This legislation is urgently neces-
sary," he wrote, because as soon af-
ter the proclamation of peace as the
existing emergency will permit those
who have enlisted or been drafted to
serve during the emergency, must all,
in accordance with the law, be dis
charged. Demobilization of these
men is now being rapidly made, and
it is expected soon to release them
at a rate of over 10000 a day or 200,-
900 a week.
1.-The only men VINO will remain in
the service are those men who en-
listed in the regular army on or prior
to April /, 1917, or those whose en-
listments have not yet expired This
small number has been cut down by
casualties and other vicissitudes un-
til the entire military force of the
United States that can be retained in
the service will be absolutely made
quate and insufficient to perform
ing the Mexican border, garrisoning
our insular possessions, manning the
seacoast defenses of the United
States, occupying permanent posts
and garrisons, guarding and protect
ing the large amount of recently ac-
quired government property and
maintaining and operating the camps
and cantonments in this country to
which troops returned from overseas
may be sent for prompt demobiliza-
tion.
