KENTUCKY COLONEL IN GER
MANY TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR

Colonel George T. Smith, Of the
Thirty-Second Division in the Army
of Occupation, now in Bassenheim.
Germany, was declared Saturday to
be a candidate for Governor Of Ken
lucky on the Democratic ticket by
his wife. Smith left for overseas early
in October with his regiment. He
was formerly Colonel of the Second
Regiment in the Kentucky National
Guard. Mrs. Smith said in making
known that her husband would run,
that the step is taken at request OF
the soldiers from this State under his
command.
According to Mrs Smith, Colonel
Smith has asked for his discharge
with view of returning to this
country in the spring, so that he can
fix I'D his fences for the Democratic
primary.
Colonel Smith saw service in the
Spanish-American war. He moved to
Lexington from Beattyville, where he
was postmaster, and responding to
the call OF the country, surrendered
his position to take up arms against
the Germans.
Colonel Smith was chairman Of
Lee County Democratic Committee;
made the race for the Legislature in
four counties that were Republican,
and was defeated by the narrow mar
gin Of f1fty-nine votes. He graduated
from the Louisville and Annapolis
Colleges He is dentist by profess
sion.

LOCAL AUTO DEALER TALKS
ABOUT THE BUICK

An interview with Mr.. c. S. Ball,
local Buick distributor, makes GER
tain that the purchaser of a Buick
car between now and the end of the
1919 season is not running any
chance that the price will be subject
to further change during that period.
Il have just received letter from
the Home Office" said Mr.. C. S..
Ball, containing the revised price
schedule effective January /, 1919,
covering the various Buick models
during the remainder of the season.
Four models have been reduced in
price and the other two remain un-
touched.
There has been considerable
speculation as to what the Buick Mo-
tor Company was going to do about
the prices of their cars, as the close
of the war left things in such an
uncertain condition regarding the
price and quantities of raw materials
available that a good many people
felt it would be impossible for the
really big manufacturers to find their
bearings for some time to come.
This prompt action on the
part of the company shSws that they
have been able to clear the situation
up sooner than anybody expected,
and 1 for one am delighted with the
announcement so early in the season.
Their war orders which have been
demanding the major part of their
energies have been completed and the
announcement of the present prices is
evidence that the Buick Motor Com
pany now has a measure of the sit
uation and sufficient material is in
sight that will permit laying out a
definite building schedule which again
proves the buyer of a Buck automo-
bile is at all times protected against
unwarranted price changes.
Orders for Buick cars are piling
up on us very fast and / feel reason
ably sure that we shall be able to
take care of the greater part of them
within a reasonable time. We shall
make every effort to see that no ia
voritism is shown our waiting list
which plan has worked out so ad-
mirably in the past.
Buick enthusiasts appreciate the
Importance of this announcement,
because all uncertainty has now
been removed, both as to the posi-
bility of getting Buick cars this year
and the possibility of the prices be-
ing lowered"

BOYS CHARGED WITH THEFT OF
VALUABLES.

In Police Court yesterday morn
ing the cases against Louis Tyree and
William C. Whaley, both very young
white boys, charged with stealing a
fur cloak, valued at 81 900 from Mrs.
Sallie Bashford, of Paris, was con-
tinued on account of the absence of
Chief of Police Link and Police
Judge Martin, who were called to
Georgetown.
Lexington police called Chief Link
Friday morning and asked him If
anyone in Paris or Bourbon county
had lost seal skin cloak; that a
negro from Paris, who gave his
name as Clarence Washington, had
been trying to dispose of one. Mrs.
Bashford, who is nearly 80 years old,
told the police she had very fine
coat, but seldom wore it. Her loss
was discovered and the identity of
the lost garment established. Mrs.
Bashford also exhibited to the officer
several checks she had given to Will
liam Clay Whaley and Louis Tyree,
amounting to $2S, which she gave
the boys for recovering certain
jewelry stolen from her house.
Chief Link arrested both young
men, who are less than II years old.
They acknowledge they took the
cloak and hid it behind the Paris
Grand Opera House building. where
Washington, the negro boy, claims to
have found it, The boys, who have
been in trouble before, but who were
given another chance, would steal the
jewelry from Mrs. Bashford's home,
1t is alleged, hide it and then repre-
sent to Mrs. Bashford they could re-
cover it on payment of SIS or $3.50,
which in each instance she gave them
Getting the check cashed, the boys
would return the jewelry, wait
few weeks, steal it again and get
another check.

MILLERS ASK RETURN
WHEAT BOUGHT

Appeals to the federal grain cor
poration, branch of the Food Ad-
ministration, that unless wheat pur-
chased by it for expectation to Eu-
rope, and now at shipping points, is
returned, flour mills face a serious
situation and are unable to know
where they can get wheat, have been
Joined in by Central Kentucky
millers.
The return of the wheat from
shipping points, would mean the loss
of the freight costs of shipping the
wheat to the shipping points, and
for it's return at the presen time, but
this, according to local dealers, is
the only way out" of the present
difficulty.
The purchase last year of the
wheat by the grain corporations, and
the recent changes which have re-
suited in what millers say is a crit
ical state of affairs, was described at
the meeting Friday of the Central
Kentucky Millers' Association, but
no action was taken by the organ
ization as a whole. Individual mill
ing companies have, however, it was
learned, sent appeals to Julius
Barnes, head of the grain corpora
ton acting under the authority vest
ed in Herbert G. Hoover as food ad
ministrator, asking him to act in the
matter
According to the millers, at the
time the 1918 wheat crop was sold,
both farmers and millers understood
that the price set by the admins
tration of S2.26 bushel {Chicago,)
would stand. This, they say, caused
farmers to sell all wheat on hand,
caused individual grain dealers, pri-
vate elevators and others to cut out
purchases, believing there would be
no chance for a raise in price. COnse-
quently, it was declared by millers.
what wheat the millers did not buy,
went to the grain corporation. The
flour mills, they say, can only store
enough grain for approximately six
months, as a general thing, and now
the summer purchases Of wheat are
virtually exhausted.
Increase in price is certain, some
millers declare, and say that Sc
rious situation is faced unless the
grain corporation returns some of
the wheat which it has sent to
shipping points.

q. s. NAVY BAND TO TOUR DIS
TRICT AGAIN.

The warmth of the welcome ex-
tended to the United States Navy
Reserve Band from the Cleveland
Training Ship on its recent tour of
the Fourth Federal Reserve district
in the interest of the Fourth Liberty
Loan has inspired the members of
the band to a decision to make an
other tour of the district.
They plan a series of popular con-
certs in the principal cities and hope
to have enough left, after defraying
the expenses of the trip out of the
nominal admissions, to divide among
the members Of the band, most of
whom wish to finish their courses in
schools and colleges which their en-
listment interrupted. The tour has
has the sanction of the naval Off
Gals.
Ensign c.. ]. Mercy is now out
ahead of the band making necessary
arrangements for auditoriums and
ticket sales, etc.
A tentative schedule has been ar
sign McRoy's advance arrangements
became known. The only stop SO far
arranged for Kentucky is at Lexing-
ton, where the band will appear on
Monday, January 20.
A note from the Liberty Loan head
quarters at Cleveland, says:
IF your city is not on the list
named and would be interested in
having a concert, Lieut.. j. H. Clark,
Guardian Building, Cleveland, would
be glad to have you communicate
with HIM"
Hey, Rudolph, get busy!

TO KEEP WELL.

Here are some simple rules, clipped
from an exchange, promulgated prin-
cipally as safeguards against the flu,
but equally valuable as preventive
of all forms of I'll health:
"Sleep with the windows open.
Drink a glass of water for every
waking hour.
Eat less of concentrated foods and
more fruits and vegetables, and keep
Just a little on the hungry side OF the
appetite.
Keep clean inside and out.
Relief for constipation is IN the
drug store, but it's prevention is In
orchard and garden.
Walk at least a part of the way to
and from work, and keep IN the open
on Sundays.
Practice deep breathing.
Do not become frightened at first
symptoms of flu Cor any illness). The
fear of disease weakens resistance.
Do not get angry or entertain re-
sentiment toward any one. Anger and
hate create poisonous toxins and lead
to a lowering of the general health"
To these might be added one more
fatigue. Make up for every
overstrain by an extra amount OF rest
at the first opportunity: Fatigue Il
in itself a poisonous condition
The laws of health are simple. 1t
is simple. 1t is the complicated hives
of people which make them a prey
to sickness.

quitting school entirely. If the home
influence is neutral towards or hos
tile to school, the pupil drifts out, be-
comes a Stacker and unless the truant
law gathers him in, quits entirely. Ii
he is taken back by force, his mental
attitude is repellant rather than re-
ceptive and his education becomes an
enforced water cure. Unless the child
mind reaches out for instruction, It's
development is mechanical. 1t ne
draws back, it is worse than mechan-
ical. In those school systems where
provisions are made to bridge the
gaps made by irregular attendance.
some beneficial results are being ac-
Fcomplished. But they are destructive
of ambition, because they compel that
which should be done with willing
ness and from desire.
The press has been guilty of con-
tributing to the spirit of child hos
tility to school, Cartoonist and para
grapher alike have depicted the aver
sion of the child to school. Instead OF
leaving the impression on the child
mind that the opening day or the
term is an event to which he should
look forward with delight, the policy
has been to leave the impression that
he is surrendering all the delights of
childhood, all the pleasures Of youth
and all the joys OF freedom. These
newspaper sentiments mold the child
mind into hostility to school instead
of into desire for school. When the
bows and girls are led to believe what
is true, that the opening day of school
| is one to which they should look for
ward with impatient pleasure, when
they are taught that in after years
the memories of the schoolrooms and
their associations are the sweetest OF
life: when they understand that the
mental effects which result bring their
own happiness Of success, they will
| look forward to the opportunities with
delight instead Of repugnance.

Wilson Asks
Labor to Wait
PRESIDENT TELLS UNION MEN
HE is GIVING PROBLEM
CAREFUL STUDY.

Seattle, Sept. 14-President Wilson
discussed labor problems for more
than an hour today with representa-
tives of the Washington State Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor. The President told
the labor men he was giving the en-
tire situation on the Pacific coast ms
careful attention and expressed hope
in the results of the conference called
to meet in Washington, d. c., October
6. He suggested that organized labor
bury its differences with capital and
do its utmost to prevent strikes uIl-
til after the conference.
Included in the delegation were l..
w. Buck, acting president OF the
state federation; G. r. Cottrell, secre-
tary of the Triple Alliance which is
composed of railway men, labor and
farmers, and James A. Duncan, secre-
tarv of the Central Labor council OF
Seattle. who, according to officials OF
the United States district attorneys
Office. was one of the leaders in the
general strike in Seattle last Febru-
ary.
Suggest Drive on Profteers.
The delegation asked the appoint
ment with the President that it might
present the cases of political prison
ers," notably those of Hulet NJ. Wells,
Sam Sadler and Morris and Joe Pass,
who are serving two year terms for
seditious conspiracy. Mr.. Buck, IN
pleading the cases of these men,
charged that the government, while
prosecuting such cases, failed to pros
ecute profteers.
The President listened attentively
to the arguments, told the labor men
it was all right for them to have
grievances and asked what remedy
they had to suggest.
The members of the delegation told
him they thought labor unrest would
make it difficult to prevent a nation
wide strike October in sympathy Tor
Thomas J. Mooney. On leaving they
thanked him for his courtesy and con-
sideration.
President Wilson would not make
statement concerning the conference,
Secretary Tumulty said, and the dele
cation. out of courtesy for the Presl-
dent. declined to talk for the time be-
ing. although Mr.. Buck said that II
the President did not issue state
ment the delegation would make one
later.
Opposition to GOmpers Shown
The labor leaders seemingly are not
satisfied with the plans for the Wash
ington conference They fear the la
bor side of the conference IS to be
dominated by Samuel Gompers, and
they assert he does not represent the
sentiment of this section of the coun-
try. 80
the President they desired direct rep
resentation at the gathering. The
President said the selection OF the Ia
bor delegates was largely in the hands
of Mr.. Gompers, but he would see
what could be done toward widening
the character of the labor represen-
tation after the conference.
Police reported today that while
the President was speaking last night
q group stood outside the arena,
pounded on the doors and cried, I'VE
want Justice"
