A strike of the coal miners over the great

traders were inclined to sell corn on it
yesterday and expressed surprise at the

a few to regard the market as in posi-

the last that a break might come today.

STATE MAY BE RATIoNED.
Return To War Coal Basis Forecast
at State House.


Kansas may Immediately return to
wartime fuel rations, according TO
gossip today in the state house. While
action in directing fuel restrictions
will come thru the government, sew
eral state officials forecast early ac-
ton. 1t is believed that Emerson
Carey of Hutchinson, state fuel admin
istrator. will be returned to his former
work before the end of the week.
With the return of former fuel ad-
ministration organizations, every COM
munity would be placed under a fuel
consumption regulation. County and
city boards would be reorganized and
lghtless nights, as well as heatless
non-essentials are anticipated.
State house visitors today predicted
early closing of pool halls and nom
essential Industries. Should the coal
strike continue the authority of the
fuel administration might be extended
to orders againstathe movie shows, as
welH as churches and lodges. It is be-
lieved that Carey will take early ac-
ton in directing a statewide fuel sur
vey with a view of rationing domestic
consumers and regulating deliveries
~ retailers.

People Believe In Black

Gov. Black is the recipient of a
great deal of advice just now and
we also venture to give him little.
Follow the dictates of conscience
and of justice and do not get ratified
by the deluge of advisors In con-
versation with Republican of the
governors home town Of Barbour
vile, he said that everybody who
knows him recognizes his great men
tai .poise, his excellent ability, his
splendid personal restraint and his
lack of propensity to go off half
cooked. He added that Republican
and Democrat alike had the utmost
confidence in him and that he is the
only man in the state that can hold
Ed Morrow hustle in the noun
tains. In regard to the l.. & N. let.
ter he declared that he did not be-
lieve that Gov Black wrote it but
that it being sent from his office
with his name to it he has too much
respect to make such an excuse. No
Democrat, however much he may
admire the governor, could have
been higher in his praise and it
made us proud to feel that Kentucky
is now and will be governed by one
who is every inch a man.-Stanford

Did A Big Job

Some of the great accomplishments
of American business during the war
are just beginning to creep to the sur
face now that the ban of censorship
has been removed. Every industry
devoted great part of it's time and
energy to the manufacture of supplies
needed not only by the United States
but by the Allies, and few persons
not actively engaged in the work
realized its extent. The preparation
and handling of meat food products
was, of course, one of the great neces-
sary industries. The manner in
which the packers met the emergen-
cies which arose during the war is
well illustrated in the case of Swift
& Company who in one week filled
government order for 100000
pounds of meat and fat. This neces-
STATED the dressing of $4,000 cattle
and 100000 hogs, and required 1000
freight cars to transport.

Tb. Plays Havoc With Cattle

Statistics compiled by the IN
tied States Bureau of Animal In
dustry show that enough cattle
and hogs were codemned in the
United States in 1918 to fill $500
cars, according to DIR. S. F. Mus
selman, State veterinarian, who is
making war on tuberculosis
among the cattle of this state.
These animals, he said, have con-
sumed enough feed to fill $4,000
cars. Besides, they were a
menace to the communities. Five
per cent of the children in Ken
lucky who are suffering from
tuberculosis became tubercular
through drinking milk given by
tubercular cows, said DR.. Mussel-
man. OF course, he said, the
percentage is greater in children
than in adults because they are
more susceptible to the disease.
The largest percentage of in
fected cows is found in dairy
herds, according to DR.. Mussel-
man, and most of the infected
animals in the pure-bred herds
are found to have been, shipped
into Kentucky from other states.
Many herds bred and raised in
Kentucky, when tested, show no
reactors.
