HOW TO IDENTIFY PLANTS
THAT POISON MEAT ANIMALS

The United States department Of
agriculture is directing attention to
the great saving of meat that can be
effected through prevention of stock
poisoning by poisonous plants on the
western cattle range.
Bulletin 575, issued by the depart
ment, tells how to identify many Of
the plants that have caused thousands
of animals to sicken and die, and also
gives methods of treatment for ami
mails poisoned thru eating the plants.
The bulletin also contains pictures OF
poisonous plants and aims to give help
of such a nature that scientific knowl-
edge will not be necessary in making
use of the information contained.
Estimates made in many localities
indicate the average loss of range ami
mails must be as great as three to
five per cent, while in some range

THE DISCREDITED PUBLICITY
AGENT

George Creel says that the C. P. l.
practically paid its own way. Perhaps
Hearst can explain how this was pos
sible. 1t is a we'll known fact that
Hearst men practically dominated
every division of the committee.
When asked if Wilson would win,
George is reported as saying: "Will
Wilson win? Of course he will win.
They might as we'll try to stop tidal
wave as to stem the worlds demand
for permanent peace and reduced ar
maments." AS far as the worlds de-
mand for permanent peace and re-
duced ornaments we can almost agree
with Creel, but what has that got to do
with Wilson? He has admitted him
self that the league will not stop war.
Creel's statements are all alike. He
has messed his job from start to fin
ish and was only tolerated by the
newspaper men because no one, much
less the scribes of the country, wanted
to start trouble when all efforts were
being bent to win the war. The war
is practically over now, and so is
Creel. He is already making state
ments about the Irish question which,
if he were able to exert any influence,
might prove embarrassing to Mr. Will

BOYS SWAT DOGS, BUY SHEEP

BOYS SWAT DOGS, BUY SHEEP
For every dog kept loss of $3.50
must be pocketed every year. For
every sheep kept, a profit of S27.6G
may be pocketed every year.
At least that is the way the propo-
sition was itemized on the blackboard
of mountain school house by farm
demonstration agent in Kentucky.
and the figures were convincing
There was not a sheep in the district
at the time the figures were placed on
the blackboard Somebody said there
used to be one sheep--a wether--"down
the mountain aways," but the dogs ate
him.
A few weeks from the time the
agent placed the figures on the board
Is boys each had contrived to buy a
sheep. Eleven dogs had been killed.
Several other families, pesered by
their small sons, but still unwilling to
kill their dogs, were trying to give
the brutes away.
Similar movements were started at
other schools. Now, in that district,
there are 622 boys who are members
of the sheep club. Among them they
own nearly 1865 sheep. By the tax
returns, the dog population appears
to have increased also, but the agent
says this is not true. Formerly there
was no sentiment for enforcement of
the dog law, he says, but now there
is very strong sentiment that way,
and, while there has been a consider
able decrease in the number of dogs,
there is an apparent increase, because
people who formerly evaded the dog
tax now have to pay it.

amount to s1,OOO,OOO annually, while
sheep growers in Wyoming have
placed their annual loss at LAG per
cent. These losses, too, to a large ex-
tent are of mature animals ready or
nearly ready for market, and for the
rearing of which large sums have been
spent.
The departments extended investi-
cations of poisonous plants of the
range is still in progress, but the def
net results obtained so far have been
sufficient to show that the heavy
losses are due to a comparatively
small number of plants. If the stock
men and herders can recognize these
plants and will act upon the informa-
ton contained in the new bulletin and
others which have been published on
the subject, it is believed that most of
the heavy losses can be avoided.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESS WILL
RIGHT THIS

How about this: Discharged SOL
diers receive a bonus of $50 and girls
retained in government service receive
a bonus of $240 with a big increase in
salaries. Does the government owe
these girls more than it does the men
who faced death in France? AS one
soldier says: washington keeps its
girls and the soldier keeps his uniform
because he cannot buy suit" Such
a condition should be remedied at the
next session of congress. Bills have
already been prepared to give the men
a years pay and other advantages.
If the government can afford S240
bonus for its girl war workers it can
afford substantial bonus for the men
who won the war. Think it over.

REASONS ARE GIVEN FOR
ATTACK ON THE LEAGUE
Cause Endless Trouble and Abrogate
American Rights, are Sena-
tors Views
By Smell Smith

Washington, March 25-Reasons for
the opposition in the senate to the COW
enant of such league of nations as
advocated by President Wilson may,
as the result of the debate which be-
gan before adjournment, and has since
continued on the stump turnout the
country, be summed up as follows:
Because it yields American sover-
eighty to an executive council in
which it would be outvoted by nations
whose interests might be Numerically
different.
Because it is a clever plan, adj
mitted by the president at the White
House dinner to have been conceived
by England for maintaining the
status quo established at Versailles.
Because it is incompatible with the
competitive struggle of history and
nature which necessitates change and
development rather than fixity of
condition.
Because it upholds kings and en-
perors and does not grant self deter
mination and liberty to Ireland, India,
Korea or any other dependency.
Because it makes the United States,
already overburdened with taxation,
the almoner of the world and gives it
tasks in Europe and Africa which
would lead to conflict with the aims
of other powers.
Because it makes complete our en-
tanglement in foreign politics without
giving the world more liberty or COM
pensating US for loss of full nation
atty and individuality.
Because it invalidates the Monroe
doctrine, which presupposes our nom
interference in Europe just as we in
sist that Europe shall not interfere in
this hemisphere.
Because it prevents the armed pro-
lection of our rights and interests in
turbulent Mexico in the event of Sc
rious menace to our citizens there.
Because it would wear down the
economic barriers erected by America
to protect its standards of labor and
of living.
Because, as admitted by the presi-
dent at the dinner to the foreign af-
fairs committee, it does not actually
prevent future wars.
Because it is in effect continue
ton in perpetuity of the present al
lance of the nations which fought
against the Central Powers and binds
us in the future to act together to
control the world, something contrary
to the warning of Washington and re-
pugnant to the spirit of our institu-
tons and the traditions of century.
Because it restraints the United
States in providing an army and a
navy sufficient for its future protec-
ton.

THIS WILL BE GOING SOME

The announcement is made by Hen
ny Ford that he will employ 100000
men in manufacturing his new $500
automobile. A careful estimate of
the number of automobiles at $500
each the labor of 100000 men could
produce taking into account the mar
keting, material and overhead cost, is
three million a year, which indicates
either that the new fliver will have to
sell pretty rapidly in a market al

tudes On its rapid vaporization alone
must often depend the lives of the men

not be good for general use. 1t would
lack power on the ground, its loss in
storage by evaporation would be great,

Government took very considerable
part of the low boiling point or highly
volatile constituents of the crude oil,
and, as a result, the gasoline left avail
able for regular use lacked those quail
ties which assure easy starting of the
automobile engine.
The Governments demand for avn
alton gasoline reached its maximum in
the late fall of 1918, and then for peri
cd Of about six weeks the deficiency of
Red Crown gasoline in low boiling
point constituents or easy starting
qualities was most apparent
Now that the war is won and the
great demand for aviation gasoline has
ceased, we are again able to offer the
same grade of Red Crown gasoline as
formerly, with the same full and con-
tinuous chain of boiling points-from
the low to the high-whichis necessary
for easy starting, quick and smooth
acceleration, high power and long
mileage.

Highly volatile gasoline for fighting
aeroplanes was one of the war needs.
The output of this special gasoline by

as were able to make this special gaso-
line
The Standard Gil Company, being
the largest of these, had the greatest
quota to fill. We were glad to do our
part. We supplied more than our quo
ia of aviation gasoline.
Aeroplane engines, operating nigh IN
the air under conditions of extreme
cold and rarehed atmosphere, require
different gasoline from engines operat-
ing on the ground. In fact, the needs
are so special that the gasoline manu-
featured for aeroplane use Gotten used

use in automobile or other internal
combustion engines operated on land

MAKES BIG PROFIT
ON PLANTATION
John Cabell Chenault Sells Part
Of Mississippi Farm At
Handsome Advance

Judge J. C. Chenault received
a message Tuesday that his son,
John Cabell Chenault, has just
closed a contract for the sale Of
about half of his large plantation
near West Point, Miss, at price
almost equal to what he paid for
the whole place less than a year
ago. The buyer was another
Kentuckian, G. C. Rife, of
HustonYille, Lincoln county. Mr..
Chenault sold him 346 acres, of
the 747 which he purchased last
December. He got $4,000 for
the 346 acres, whereas he only
paid $4,000 for the whole tract
of 747 acres, so that the popular
young Madison county boy
cleaned up nice profit on his
Mississippi deal in short time,
In addition to that he has made
a splendid crop on the big planta-
tion the past season, all of which
will be good news to his many
friends at home here.

ERNEST CONCLETON
BUYS nice FARM

Ernest w. Congleton, Of Madi-

tractive Fayette county farm
Monday when he purchased the
Delong place which was sold at
Master Commissioners sale. He
secured 342 acres at $lo2 an acre,
which is considered quite bar
gain the way most Fayette coun-
ty land has been selling. Mr..
Congleton gets possession of the
farm the first of next March at
which time he will remove there
to make his home. The farm is
located 10 miles out of Lexington
on the Tate's Creek pike. I'M
provements on the land consist OF
a two-story brick residence of 8
rooms, a large stock barn and two
tenant houses.
