gical Dressings Department for the
soldiers, sailors, refugees and conva-
lescents, no previous mention, has
been made Of the large amount Of
work done for the French babies by
Bourbon County. women.
Mrs. Thos. Henry Clay, Sr., was
the first one in Paris to take up this
work, of love and benevolence, and
she succeeded in interesting a num-
Der of friends in making large
quantity of new clothing for the un-
fortunate little ones of France, and
in contributing shoes, stockings,
blankets, pillows, quilts and other
useful things enough to fill seven
large boxes, and she is now working
on the eighth box 30

ing all kinds Of articles needed for
them ..-.f..si.-.e ,---- -.

neous articles, and another box was
filled with twelve large packages

garments, etc, or total of 420 ar
ticles. 20 @E- 80 ~,'r
The last three boxes were filled
with useful things for children two
and three years Of age. - "a
Pillows. quilts, blankets, shoes and
stockings were included in these
gifts for the children, and in each
large package and layette was a
needle-book for the child's mother,
containing useful sewing articles.
Mrs. Clay and her helpers are still
ems gagged in this labor of love, and
will gratefully accept any donations
of new materials to be made into
garments or quilts; also shoes, stock

Aonther group of women have
been engaged in work of this kind,
and have sent to France three large
boxes of baby clothes, quilts, blank
cts, seven dozen pairs OF shoes, and
numerous other articles.
The last box sent by this group
contained $50 garments, ETC., and
the other boxes were equally well
filled.
In addition to this, these Christian
women solicited $3.50 in 49,
Christmas stockings for the French
children, each stocking being made
to hold fifty cents. There was some
additional money, also.
Thirty warm quilts have beer
completed and sent to France BY
these women, the first one being IL
yards long by II yards wide, ant
/ the last ones 2A yards long by

Who's Who In Railroads.

President Wilson laid barrage for
government ownership of the rail-
roads," and then beat a hasty re-
treat. in his last address to Congress.
In other words he refused to stand
sponsor for the idea credited to his
administration favoring ownership OF
the railroads by the Government. 1t
is known that his own official family
l.. AL cluttered up with socialistic
government ownership ideas, and
since the President refuses leader
ship of the plan to take over the rail-
roads permanently, there is bound to
become a showdown in Congress that
will point out who's-who-in-rail-
roads. the Government of Uncle Sam,
2 or their actual owners. The Presi-
dent made no recommendations upon
the subject except to suggest that the
roads should not be returned to their
owners with the old conditions I'M
modified. He names three courses
that might be taken: One return
to private management, unrestricted
competition, multiform State and
Federal regulation, complete Govern
ment ownership, or an. intermediate
course of modified private control,
under more unified and Affirmative
public regulation. szE .- II
The President recommends that
Congress have a complete and impair
tial study of the.whole railroad prob
lem Instituted at once and prosecuted
as rapidly as possible. Unless Con-
gress acts without delay. it is
thought by some observers here, the
President may take steps Of return
ing the railroads to their owners as
early as next spring. He makes it
plain that he will not delay acting at
all unless there is definite reason for
doing so, and one reason given for
the way he puts the problem up to
Congress is to spur that body on to
action.

'KENTUCKY'S PRIDE" Is REALLY
KENTUCKY'S PRIDE.

''Kentucky's Pride" is a White
Wyandotte hen that has laid 231
eggs since last December IS. She
was among a bunch of pullets sold
at public auction in Trigg county a
year ago last fall. A poultry ex-
pert from the Experiment Station
was at the sale, and noticing what
fine layer this pullet promised to be
he bought her for the Experiment
Station for $500. The expert
noticed that she had all the marks of
a great layer, while many of the
farmers at the sale failed to see any
difference between her and the 9TH
ers sold that day cas- a.s ..
The pullet was brought to the EX-
pertinent Station farm and used in a
housing experiment that is under
way there to determine the best type
ofpoultry house for the Kentucky
farm. She was placed in Slated
side, open, balloon shaped house that
is unfortunately not found on many
farms She was put in that house
along with a lot of other good pros
poets and has shown that the type of
fowl really has more to do with egg
laying than has other points. She
was bred in egg-laying blood lines
and looked like real layer, so 1t
was anticipated that she would lay
despite the house in which she was
kept, and she did. She has laid in
short cycles of a few eggs in a
clutch, but has never missed more
than one or two days at time, and
has not moulted.
"Kentucky's Pride" as she is now
known to a wide circle of poultry
men who have watched her perform
ance during the past year. will BE
exhibited at the poultry meeting at
the University of Kentucky durir
Farmers Week, January % to 81.
The method of feeding poultry for
egg production, the way to tell a
layer from non-layer, the best
types of poultry houses, will all be
explained to visitors to the Univer-
sity at that time.

3D. FIRE
81
W.O. HINTON & SON,Agts
BRISTOL, VA, VISITED BY $780,
r.. 600 FIRE.

Five large business houses. includ-
ing the Dominion National Bank. In
Bristol, Va, were destroyed by fire,
which for a time threatened destruc-
ton of large portion of the business
district. The flames were checked
only after the arrival of fire COM
panies from Kingsport, Tenn, in re-
Spouse to a call from the Mayor of
Bristol. The loss was estimated at
$1,500,000.
The fire started in the five-story
structure on State street occupied by
the Mitchell-Powers Hardware Com
pany. So far as was reported, there
was no loss of life.
The destruction of the plant Of the
Bristol Gas and Electric Company
threw the city into darkness and
then the flremen were further handi-
capped by the exhaustion of the
city's water supply.

A LITTLE FLOWER IN FRANCE

There has Just been issued from the
press a poem by Miss Katherine A.
Harrison. of Lexington, entitled "A
Little Flower in France" which has
received the highest commentator
of those permitted to read it. Among
the criticisms and expressions of ad-
miration for it is one by Col. George
w. Balm.
GA Little Flower of France" is not
the first production from the pen of
the writer, Miss Katherine A. Harri-
son. Her writings. however, have
been mostly confined to prose, a num-
her of which have appeared in the
Lexington and Louisville papers
Miss Harrison is probably better
known as a business woman than as
a writer, having been Deputy Colloc-
tor under Samuel ]. Roberts in the
Internal Revenue Service and prom
inently identified with Elmendorf
Farm during the lifetime of the own
er, Mr.. J. B. Haggin. While at Elm
endorf she had charge of all the adj
vertising for the Elmndorf stock.
She also wrote a sketch entitled
"Elmendorf the Farm Beautiful"
which was published by the Country
Gentleman.
| Miss Harrison is native OF Bour-
bon county, but has spent most OF
her life in Lexington, and 1t was
while a student at the University OF
Kentucky that she gave evidence in
connection with her class work OF
eliterary talent which is SO mark
ed in the little poem.
The proceeds from the sale OF this
poem will be devoted by Miss Har'
rison to some OF the organizations
THAT have done and are still doing
war work.

Wear En-. BOYS. Wear EN-!

Wear En-, Boys, Wear En-!
Some of our returning soldiers and
sailor boys appear to have the false
and altogether regretable idea that
it behooves them to lay aside the
khaki or navy blue and don their
"cits" right away or stand the accu-
sation that they are showing off I"
Well, that's exactly what we want
them to do-show off. They have,
by their seyice, won the privilege Of
showing off and if there be those who
are inclined to make fest of the fact,
it is only because they are envious
because they have not won the priv
ilege of doing likewise. Wear 'em
boys. wear 'em the limit of time al
lowed by the regulations; khaki and
navy blue is honored the world over
and not to be sneezed at at home.
They wear well and look well, and
besides the folks at home want to see
you with your "fghtin' toys" on,
even if a few slackers don't. Wear
'em dad-blamed near out if you want
to and tell anybody that don't like it
to go to thunder.
