From the Editors Desk

Last week The Patriot printed communication from the merchants committee of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce. The committee resented 4 statement made by Michael Meehan before the Army and Navy club, which appeared in The Patriot Tn a report of the meeting at which the club was organized. The statement was 10 the effect that the merchants committee was advising merchants not to advertise in a proposed book
 of which Mir. Meehan is to be one of the publishers, the book to have for it's title, "Putnam's Part iH the War.
 The committee replied to the state ment because 1t believed that the reader might infer from what Mr. Heehan said that the merchants com mjttee had voluntarily taken it upon itself to take a hand in the matter of the books publication insofar as aa- 4e-tisiag was ccscer1ej. Year after year Putnam merchants have been so- licited to place advertisements in al s6rts of program =Doees, score cards and other advertising ventures in themselves of little value b the mer- chant as advertising mediums Until the matter was brought before the Chamber of Commerce and an agree ment made by the members, through q vote, not to advertise in such medi- ums any more, the merchants spent hundreds of dollars yearly for some thing they felt brought little if any return. The reason was apparent. Us ually some organization was behind the project and a merchant would give an advertisement fearing that If he did not that his competitor might do so and that he, the first merchant, would lose trade from the organiza- tion because his name did not appear in the publication and his competi- tors did In effect, to the minds of the merchants. these advertising schemes gotten up as a money making proposition. were little less than "hold-ups." The merchant felt that when such mediums were submitted to him t was case of "advertise or lose the trade of members of the or ganization in interest" It was for rhis reason that the matter was taken up in the Chamber of Commerce ard vote passed not to DO into such schemes any more Merchants sap that since the rule went into effect they have saved hundreds of dollars.
 The merchants committee feels that it has been put in false light by the statement made by MT Nee han. because the statement did not make 1t plain that the committee was only advocating living up to this rule of the Chamber of Commerce made some years ago. In other words that the committee did not see any reason why an exception should be made m l the case of this proposed book. The committee say that their position had been made clear to the publishers and should have been made clear to the Army and Navy club by Mir. heehan.
 The merchants of Putnam have been generous in their suppart of all war measures They have done their share in helping the boys in khaki at

CANDIDACY ANNOUNCED

Mr.. Stanley o. Wood, editor of the
Mt. Sterling Gazette, and who very
recently returned from a o. S. Army
Camp, has announced his candidacy
for the Republican nomination for
Railroad Commissioner in the Third
District. Mr.. Wood is a son of
the late John c. Wood, for years
prominent in Kentucky politics, a
grandson of the late Major A. T.
Wood, a leader in State politics for
nearly half century and who was
one of the finest gentlemen Kentucky
ever produced; a nephew of Mr.. w
Hoffman Wood, United States Com
missioner of this city. The late
John c. Wood was railroad commits
sioner several years ago and it is
his sons ambition to fill the position
once held by his estmable father.

getic young fellow who fought, the
battles of the Republican party
drought the columns of the Gazette
even before he became a voter and
his party certainly owes his candi-
dacy consideration. So far he is
the only announced candidate and
it is not known whether the present
incumbent, Hon. ri. G. Garrett, of
Winchester will be a candidate or
not.
The district is largely Republican,
so the nomination is equivalent to
election. Mr.. Wood will make an
active campaign and as he is well
known in the district, his friends
claim he will be a sure winner.

Interest in the oil industry OF
Kentucky was clearly evidenced
Saturday, when several hundred
people from all over Central Ken
lucky ATTENDED the opening Of the
daily cali market Of the Kentucky
Oil Exchange, which took place in
the Phoenix hotel lobby at Lexing-
ton at III o'clock.
In the absence Of Judge John M.
Stevenson, of Winchester, who was
scheduled to make the opening adj
dress, but whose automobile broke
down between Winchester and Lex
ington, delaying his arrival, r. E
Loomis, secretary Of the Kentucky
Oil Mems Association, made bnef
speech calling attention to the mag
nitnde Of the oil industry in Ken
lucky and extending hearty well
come to the large crowd on behalf
Of the exchange.
Mr.. Loomis said that the call sys-
tenn of selling oil stocks has been
generally approved in all Of the oil
centers of the country, and has been
very successful wherever tried. He
said that he was present in Louis-
vile when the system was inaugu-
rated there, and that the crowd on
hat occasion was not one-tenth as
large as that present at Lexington.
He said the oil business in Kentucky
is no longer an experiment, but is
now recognized as one of the great
est industries in the State, and. that
holdings that were at first tho>ght
to be chimerical have developed in
to properties worth Millions and
source of great material wealth and
prosperity to kentucky.
Thomas NJ. Owsley, one of the
proprietors of the exchange, .ex-
planned the rules and regulations
governing the market, and acted as
auctioneer. As the call market for
the sale of such stocks was new to
many of those present, it was not
anticipated that the sales would be
heavy at the initial session, as all
were anxious to see how the new
system worked before participating
in the trading.
However, quite a number of stocks
we're offered and some good bids
made, the demand being strongest
or Pyramid, Majestic, Wright,
Trinity, Planet, McCombs, Rex, W.
2. Williams and some of the other
leading companies operating in the
Lee-Estill field. For example, 1000
shares of McCombs were offered at
$3.50, but the bids for this stock
reached only $1.45 and no sales
were made. Offerings of 500 Wrigh.
Oil Company at $3.50 and SO; 1000
Trinity at So and 1000 Security at
40 cents failed to interest the bid
ders at those figures, and lower bids
we're not accepted. !
The only actual sales made were
$50 shares of Pyramid at 500 and
500 shares Of Pan-American at 60
cents.
