COAL MINERS WILL
ASK HIGHER WAGES

INDIANAPOLIS. March 19.-Wages
to be asked by the coal miners of
America at their next conference with
the operators were to be decided on
today by a subcommittee of the gen
eraI policies committee. The subcom-
mittee was appointed by Frank J.
Hayes and is composed of the district
presidents or their personal represen-
tatives. 1t was expected that the sub
committee would make its report
Thursday.
Three fundamental principles on
which the subcommittee is working
were laid down by Hayes in address,
ing the policies committee, which is
composed Of 200 mine workers repre-
sentatives from all over the country.
They are:
A SiX-hour day.
A five-day week,
A substantial increase in the exist
ing wage scale.
Naturalization of the coal mines,
suggested by Hayes, will not be taken
up at the joint conferences, it was
thought. He is understood to have
advanced this suggestion in view of
agitation for such action by the Brit
ish government.

LOUISIANA TO BECOME
CATTLE TICKLESS, STATE

Louisiana will become a. cattle tick
less State this year, DepSTtment Of
Agriculture experts said today.
This means the quarantine restric-
tions, laid years ago. which prevented
coInplete freedom in shipments from
the State, will be lifted
DR.. r. A. Ramsay, chief Of the Tick
Eradication Bureau, is scheduled to
make the chief address March 20,
when the Texas Cattle Raisers' Asso-
citation meets at Dallas to plan future
eradication measures in their State.

animals yearly and greatly reduces
the value of all that recover from
fever carried by ticks.

HELP! HELP! HELP!
Mr.. Citizen of the City
of Lancaster.

Won't you hear the cry Of innocent
childhood and destroy the breeding
places Of the common house fly, the
other contagious and infectious dis
dissiminator Of typhoid fever and
diseases. Swat the fly and prevent the
production Of this pest. Make it
your business to clean up your prem
Uses and keep them clean and thereby
assist in protecting the health Of the
community in which you live.
Also don't forget the mosquito,
some Of which are malaria carriers.
Don't allow water to stand over three
days in your rain barrels or other
water receptacles. Be careful Of the
tin can. They should first be burned
out to destroy all feeding material
for flies and then mashed together SO
they will not hold water and make
a breeding place for mosquitoes.
II you have pool or pond on your
premises, it should be drained. II
impossible to drain then you should
overflow it with Gil. and not only de-
stroy the young mosquito but prevent
the propagation Of the mosquito. All
mosquitoes are not disease carriers,
but some Of them are, but all Of them
are "a nuisance, and every citizen who
loves God and his neighbor as him
self, should do all in his power to as
sist in the promotion Of the health of
the community.
Don't wait for the Health officer
to come around and tell you that you
should keep your premises in a san
itary condition, in order that your
family be protected from disease
that is the direct result of unsanitary
conditions.
The Health Officer will be glad TO
receive notice of any unsanitary CON
ditions maintained by any citizen and
we ask you to assist the Health Board
in protecting the Health of the pub
lie by making these reports. All
complaints should be filed in writing,
stating the character of the unsani-

POISON
Death Ends Life of John
Gay After Taking
Fatal Drug.

John Gay. son Of Mr.. Sherman
Gay, died at his home on the Buckeye
road last Monday morning, from the
effects Of Chloride of Mercury poison
which he had taken with suicidal in
tent two weeks before.
No cause is attributed why the I'M
fortunate man took the deadly poi
son, only that during the past two
months he had been worrying some
about his life insurance policy which
it seemed he was unable to have ar
ranged satisfactory.
He was married in January to Miss
Susie Bolton, who is only fourteen
years of age.
Everything known to medical
science was done to save the life of
the unfortunate young man. but with
out avail.
He had recently returned from ser
vice in the army and had an honorable
discharge, having made a good sol
der in the fight for humanity and to
have taken his life in this manner,
leaving his young wife seems doubly
sad in this instance.

where's Velvet Tobacco gone?
those same folks inquired, when dis
appointed in their quest for that age
mellowed, friendly tobacco. which
had made them and their pipes side
partners for years.
Where was Velvet? Ask the Red
Cross man or the "Y" man. Ask the
Salvation Army lassie. Ask the
doughboy or the Jackie. Ask the
hurried and harassed Quartermaster
Corps that were responsible for more
beef. more bullets and more tobacco
for the boys under the tin derbies.
Yes. that's why Velvet was not on
some of the dealers shelves. II was
on the ships. in the environments. in
the billets and the trenches. But
Velvet is now wearing the red chev-
ron Of an honorable discharge.
The doughboy who smoked the
"tinned Kentucky sunshine in
France can now enjoy its friendly
company on his own front porch.
Those Of US who willingly gave up
Injuries that the boys over there
might have them. can stuff our old
pipes once more with Velvet and

he's back in the columns Of this paper

FEDERAL TRUCK
Drawn BY Judge Forest
Stapp.

The United States Government
held a public drawing at Frankfort
last Monday at which time about $50
army trucks were given to the various
counties Of the state. Slips Of paper
bearing the names Of the different
trucks that were to be drawn were
placed in hat and representatives
from the various counties were on
hand to participate in the drawing.
County Judge Stapp and Road Sup
ervisor, DR.. J. A. Anon were on hand
to look after Garrard's interest and
succeeded in drawing a Federal Truck
Of three ton capacity.
Some Of the counties were allowed
two or more trucks, owing to the
amount Of state aid that had been
asked by these counties.
Having received more state aid
than Garrard, Boyle county drew two
trucks.
Judge Stapp informs US that the
truck he drew for Garrard county is
probably worth $4,000, owing of
course to its condition.
A dumping body will have to be
purchased and added to the truck
which will mean some expense of
course, he says, as all trucks are not
equipped for road work.

Messrs W. s. and J. W. Miller and
upon its completion was purchased by
the bank, Mr.. James l. Hamilton as
day laborer assisted in the erection
of the bank building, and could at
present finance several institutions Of
equal strength. Mr.. Jasper Cox, who
but recently purchased farm, pay
ing $500. per acre therefor, also
earned his daily stipend as a day
laborer on the building.
That a bit of superstition turks in
the minds of some of this banks Of
ficers is evidenced by the fact that a
horse shoe presented to the bank in
its first days of business still occupies
prominent place on its walls; and it
is said that the present vice president
is never caught without a rabbit foot
in his trousers pocket.
Quoting from the official report to
the Comptroller Of the Currency in
Dec. 1918, the total net profits since
1883 of this institution was $751;
O2O.O4; total dividends paid for same
time 1921, $50, and dividends Of IL
per cent have been paid since 1917
At the close of the year 1915 the
banks surplus having reached an
equal footing with its capital stock,
it became an Honor Roll Bank.
Stock in this institution is eagerly
sought, and very little is to be found
on the market; however, Circumstance
es, such as the winding up of an es-
tate, occasionally forces some on the
market. which finds ready takers at
S240 per share.
This bank not only cheerfully, but
eagerly did even more than "its bit"
during the many occasions when the
various war loans were being placed
on the market. The entire personnel
of the institution bent their every eff
fort giving all assistance in their
power The bank purchased for its
customers and itself S240,300 in
Liberty Bonds and Victory Notes;
$3.50. 900 certificates Of indebtedness
and more than $4,000 in War Saw
ings Stamps.
The present banking force consists
of B. +. Hudson, president, J. j.
Walker. vice president, W. +. Champ.
cashier, W. o. Rigney, asst. cashier,
J. J. Walker, Jr., asst. cashier and
Mrs. Naomi Hamilton. clerk, and We
venture the assertion that a more ef-
ficient. capable or accommodating
banking force cannot be found in the
state Of Kentucky.
