GROW OWN FOOD And FED
WISE POLICY IN The SOUTH
Secretary Replies to Letter Telling Of
Leaning Toward COttOn-Tells Of
Preparations by Department
and Agricultural Colleges
For Presenting Sug.
gestiOns for Farm
ing Work.

The following letter from the Sec
rotary of Agriculture has been sent to
John NJ Parker, of New Orleans, Fed
eral food administrator for Louisiana:
81 have your letter of December Is,
in which you call attention to the fact
that there is feeling among the
farmers that it would be to their ad
vantage to plant the maximum cotton
crop during the coming year.
"The agricultural colleges, in CO.
operation with the Department, thru
the joint extension forces, have been
organizing for several weeks past for
the purpose of bringing before the
farmers in the several States, early in
the new year, definite suggestions for
the operations of 1919. In the cotton
States these Joint forces will hold
neighborhood meetings, beginning in
the early part of January and continu-
ing for such time as may be neces-
sary to cover the territory. At these
meetings the farmers will be furnish
ed with the latest information that the
Department and the colleges have
been able to gather concerning the
prospects for the next year. Generally
speaking, the extension forces are
agreed that the wise policy for South
ern farmers to pursue in 1919 is to
make sure the production of their own
home supplies of both TODD and feed.
Attention will be called to the fact
that an average yield of cotton on the
acreage of 1918 will produce two to
three million bales more than was
produced in 1918.
"On account of the unsettled condi-
tons in Europe, it is impossible to
make any definite forecast of the eco
mic situation, but certainly it is safe
policy to pursue for the farmers of the
South to raise their own home sup
plies of both food and feed"

WHAT5S THE REASON?
Many .Maysyille People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores OF people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of theiF suffer
ing. Day after day they are racked
with backache and headache; suffer
from enrvousness, dizziness, weak
ness, languor and depression. Per-
haps the kidneys have fallen behind
in their work of filtering the blood and
that may be the root of the trouble
Look to your kidneys, assist them in
their work--give them the help they
need. You can use no more highly
recommended remedy than Doans
Kidney Pills-endorsed by people all
over the country and by your neigh
bors in Maysville.
Mrs. w. A. Schatzmann, 605
East Second Street, says: From
the benefit have received from Doan'.
Kidney Pills, which l buy at Chans
lor's Drug Store, | have every reason
to recommend them. Whenever m.
kidneys have been irregular in actor
or have suffered from weakness ant
lameness in the small OF my back,
have used Doan's Kidney Pills. The,
have always proven sufficient to quick
ly cure and attack"
Mrs. Schatzmann is only one o,
many Maysville people who havt
gratefully endorsed Doan's Kidne.

. OUT OF TOUCH

A witness before a Congressional
committee said recently that a large
proportion of the college professors
are pacifists and racials. And also
free traders. Never having engaged
in production and having no direct in
terest in the success of production,
they have no sympathy with the pro-
Queer. They are perfectly competent
to teach languages, mathematics, etc.
but they are not in practical touch
with the affairs of the world and in
most instances are incapable of I'M
derstanding the viewpoint of the man
upon whom industrial development
and business success depends.

March for Blors which is in central
France and left Blors on Easter Sun
day morning at 5 q. m. for the front,
our companies were all split up from
one another; part of the boys went
with the French repairing truck and
later on Aviation, first the 18th Co. on
the trip up we got gas masks and steel
hats and after travelling four days we
landed at Quory small town Of about
100 habitants. 1t was not very in
viting place and we were billeted in
the barns; mostly we made our beds
in. hay that was in the lofts. This
place is right on the front of the Toul
sector and under the guns of Mont.
Sec. and hill 30S. which was taken in
the st. Mihiel drive at nights when the
batteries of Ft. Quoy which was
straight up the hill from us would
openit. Those old buildings would
partly tremble at nights. We would
90 out on the front Of the hill and
watch the star shells over No Mans
Land and the different signal rockets
which were very pretty and we sure
saw lots of flashes. We always wore
our steel hats and had our gas masks
at alert position at all times. Well !
suppose that you will he very much
surprised at the work our unit had to
do but it was important any way. We
went to work with the 21st Engi-
neers building narrow gauge rail-
road which is about "a inches between
rails and the front is simply net
work of this track which can be
quickly laid Our job was to grade
the road bed which was hard work.
Of course I had charge of the COM
pany and the training i got while in
the 3O8 Eng sure come in handy
From there we went to Socy about the
90 of April where we set to work
building a large railroad and Quarter
Master warehouse. About the 10th Of
May took ten men with me and went
to Merritt 1t Tour to repair and shoot
trouble on the gasoline locomotives
which were feeding the front and sup
plying the ammunition to the bat

ELEPHANT JUMPS
Fence, BUT BEGS
TO GET BACK IN
Open Aid Helps Monkey, But Peanuts
Give Bruin the "Flu"

Philadelphia, Pa.-Miss Petrie is a
new arrival at the zoo, with her twin
brother Memo, both from the elephant
hunting grounds in Sumatra. Two
baby hippos have also been born in
he gardens during the year, each of
whom weighs in the neighborhood OF
$50 pounds. The two elephants are
heavier, Miss Petre weighing about
$50 pounds. while Memo tips the
scales at $50, but, then, the elephants
are three years old and the hippos
are only few months
Miss Petrie and bear cub figured
in the most exciting event the zoo has
known during the year, when both es-
capped from their cages and went for a
walk about the gardens last week.
The lady elephant broke away by
the simple process of climbing the
low ratings surrounding the elephant
house and falling heavily on the out
er side of the fence. She wandered
down the pathways, but, according to
George Harrison, keeper Voluntarily
returned on finding that Memo, ner
little brother, was not coming too.
Hartman says Miss Petrie walked
back to the stockade and beloved to
be allowed to come back.
The bear cub, however, was less de-
sirous of incarceration. He slipped
past a keepeh at feeding time and fed
into the open, biting keeper in the
arm as he was forced back again into
the cage. No visitors we're about at
the time.
Peanuts carried in the pockets of a
visitor are held responsible for the
deathof bear from influenza. 1t is
believed that the peanuts had been
carried in pocket to handkerchief
saturated with influenza germs and
we're fed to the animal- No other cases
of influenza we're noted among the
denizens of the ZOO.
Open air cures for tubercular mon
keys were essayed when Freddie, a
macaque, was removed to an out of
door cage and kept there for eighteen
months. All traces Of the tubercular
conditions are now gone.
Kaiserii, the big elephant whom
the Geological garden authorities
refused to rename, finally acquired
the official name of Lizzie. after siren
uous protests were LACED against the
German name. The name Lizzie has
finally been officially adopted and has
been painted in huge golden letters in
front Of the pen. Lizzie is now said
to be much happier.

hot times when we had to 60 out over
the line and fix one that was down
while the Boche would send over
few hot ones now and then. Well we
completed our work there the latter
part OF June and went back to Soicy
where | had charge of truck train
that was hauling sand and gravel to a
French fort and on July | was sent
to Abainville where ! took charge of
the air compressers and gas engines
that were on the outside and later the
company moved out there. Abainville
is the headquarters for light railway
equipment. We were putting togeth-
err about $50 narrow gauge cars per
week. There were d steel buildings
put for repair work but were never
used to any great extent on account
of all the equipment being new-there
were a machine shop, foundry, plan
ming mill and about anything else that
was needed to win this war. My last
job was installing three stationery
gas valve air compression which each
had 142 meet per mile capacity and
after they were in operation | was
sent down here. This is one of the
biggest producing centers for the avi-
alton section. am in the machine
shop which is very large one. saw
quite bit of action at the front and
was very lucky because have never
gotten strach and have always been
in the best of health. Now Dad this is
only rough history of what | have
been doing over here but | have lots
more to tell when | get back, but |
think / have told you enough that you
can realize what that little boy of
yours has done in this war even if
has never carried a rifle, but in clos
ing | will state the American effic-
iency in my estimation is what won
this war and the gigantic scale which
everything is done aver here would be
almost past ones imasination; and
for the closing Dad | don't think that
it will be but very short time un-
til am back in the good old U. S. A.
to my loved ones. Now as the war is
over want to get back in civilian life

enough travelling. sincerely wish
from the bottom of my heart that You

BURLES0N BUREAUCRACY

The general manager OF a tele-
graph company who opposed govern
ment control was deposeG and now
he says that all the employees are
under duress because of fear of sim
liar treatment from the Political Mas
ter General. No doubt about it. If
the men care anything for their jobs,
they will sneeze whenever Mr.. Bur-
Lesson takes snuff. That is one of the
results of bureaucracy. Nobody dares
think until he finds out what the Die
tator wants him to think.
