OPERATORS STRIKE
Persuaded To Return Tp Jobs By
Traffic Chief-Ask More
Pay and Eight Hours.

Owensboro, KY, April 1S.-Be-
tween noon and one o'clock this af-
ternoon, fifteen telephone operators
at the exchange of the Cumberland
Telephone & Telegraph Company
went out on strike. They are de-
manding increased wages and an g.
hour instead of a 9-hour day. A
threat by o. D. Riddle, traffic chief,
that he would resign his place unless
the young women returned to the
switchboard brought an end to the
strike temporarily at least.
He promised them he would do
everything possible to secure higher
wages and shorter hours for them.
The manager, C. L. Jacobs, was out
of the city when the strike occurred.
The chief operator was the only one
of the girls who did not strike. The
complaints of the operators will be
given hearing tomorrow.
It is said the strike was brought
about by publication in local pa
per to the effect that the operators
were satisfied with their working
conditions and had no sympathy with
other strikes.

DEPARTMENT
FORBES MFG. CO.'S NEW STORE
ROOM ON MAIN STREET FOR
HOME EXHIBITS.

Hopkinsville has new industry or,
shall we say that the Forbes Manu-
featuring Company has added to its
many branches new department.
The one referred to is the combined
housefurnishings, plumbing and cleo
trical department.
The old housefurnishing depart
ment has been remodeled and the De-
tltion wall between it and the room
formerly used by the Forbes Grocery
Co., and later by the Gull Motor Co.
as display room, has been taken ont
and the whole place thrown into one
big display room.
1t has been divided so as to repre-
sent modern home. In the rear is
a modern kitchen fully equipped with
everything that could be desired in
a modern kitchen. A bath room,
showing every desirable fixture for
that department of the home is an
other feature. The Caloric pipeless
furnace furnishes the heating for this
modern home.
The feature, however, is the light
ing system. This is furnished by the
Western Electric System. This is a
convenient and economical way of
furnishing your own lights. The
power is furnished by a gasoline
driven dynamo, which when started
charges series of storgage batteries
sufficient to run an ordinary home
for one week. When the batteries
are charged the engine automatical-
ly stops.
The display windows have been re-
modelled and are among the most at
sractive in the city. AS a whole the
new department of the Forbes Mfg.
20. forms one of the neatest and
most interesting to be found any
where.

SLAVE DAYS
Once Valuable Papers Found In the
Effects of the Late DR.. J.

for many years after the war.
There is also bunch Of Confeder-
ate State Bonds, five of them of the
denomination of $500 each, maturing
in 1857. One $50 interest coupon
had been clipped from each of them.
The principal and interest, had long
since been charged to profit and loss.
There is also a pass given by Col.
Edmund A. Startling to DR.. Clardv.
permitting him to pass the Federal
lines coming into and leaving Hop
kinsville in 1864, when the Union
forces held the town. A description
Of DR.. Clardy was attached to the
pass, giving his age as thirty-four

paper of real historical interest was
a pass issued Sept. 1, 1864, at An
dersonville, Ga, To- Capt. W. B. Reed
by Capt. H. Wirtz, commandant of
prison, passing him into the hospital
ot the prison until further notice.

Omens on Horses.

There are several omens dealing with
hCrses. A warrior likes his mount to
neigh before going into battle, as this
is sign of victory. To meet a. a.piebald
horse is lucky, and If you meet anoth-
er soon after you may express any wish
and get it granted. 4 horse with a
white star on its forehead is another
lucky sign, but to meet white horse
means bad luck, unless one spits at It.
This averts the Ill luck. Another bad
sign is for horse to neigh opposite
the door Of house. 1t means sickness
to one Of the inmates.

AN OPEN TANK

Once more curiosity had its re.
ward. Monday night at about 8 o..
clock car drove up to the Ideal
Motor Co. The driver called the boy
and stated that he wanted his gasoline
tank filled. After he had gotten as
much gas as he ordered, he lighted
a cigarette, and incidently, held the
match over the tank to see how near
full it was. The tank naturally
caught on fire. The alarm was turn
ed in and the department rushed to
the scene. The fire was extinguished
however, before they got there. The
driver got into his car and hurriedly
got away before his identity was dis
covered. Everybody had nice run
down North Main and the man evil

HOG CHOLERA LOSSES
ON STEADY DECLINE

Since 1918, when the United States
Department Of Agriculture began
work to control hog cholera, the
dreaded disease has become less and
less destructive each year.
A force averaging 165 federal vet
erinarians have been maintained,
working in cooperation with state
authorities in charge Of quarantine
and other regulatory measures neces-
sary for the success Of control work.
During the fiscal year 1918 more than
5,500,0OO hogs were inoculated with
anti-hOg cholera serum, and more
than 2,200 farms, found to be infect
ed with cholera, were cleaned and dis
infected under supervision Of the de-
partment veterinarians.
Altogether, representatives Of the
department visited more than $4,000
farms to investigate reported out
breaks, to apply preventative meas
ures and to clean and disinfect prem
ises. How great a menace hog choi-
era has been to the nations, swine in
dusyry my be judged from the accept
ed estimate that 80 per cent of the
hogs lost from all ailments die from
cholera. In 1913 the death rate Of
swine from disease was placed at 42.1
per thousand. Thus the loss was
slightly above 4 per cent for . the
United States, the lowest on record,
according to the departments fig
