WILL ENFORCE STATE
WEED CUTTING Law
IN FAYETTE COUNTY
Grand Jury Threatens TO Indict Fiscal
Court IL Weeds Along Pixies Are
Not Cut Under State Law.

The Fayette county grand jury Is
going to indict the Fayette fiscal court
AT least, that was the threat made to
County Judge F.. A. Bullock. The
cause of the grand jury's ire is the
abundant growth of weeds along the
country roads. Such a condition, 1t
was pointed out, is direct violation
of section 2, chapter 169 Kentucky
Road Laws, which reads as follows:
"The brush, bushes, weeds, over
hanging limbs of trees and all other
distractions along the highways of
the several counties of this Common
wealth are to be removed there from
between the first day of July and the
twentieth day of August of every
year.
Section 3 provides that every per-
son who violates the provision of this
act by failure to perform the duties
as required shall, on conviction, be
fined in the sum of not less than $40
and not more than $50.
The county road engineer is re-
quired to publish notice to this eff
feet, which he did, but the weeds are
still tall and uncut-at least that is
the grand jury's allegation.
If affairs get any worse, it was
stated the magistrates would have
several farmers in their courts to an
swer for their fragrant violation of
the law, which no one seemed to know
anything about until the grand jury
got busy.
Judge Bullock says the law provides
the weeds must be cut before August
20, which allows some time yet, al
though no steps have been taken.
In Mason county the attention that
should be given this very necessary
work has not been given it but our
farmers have been entirely too busy
in their crops. 1t is expected how
ever, that all weeds and brush will be
removed before August 90

The first International Institute

grew out of the home-sickness and
longing for the home country of for
eign members of the community who
had come to America expecting many
things which they did not find. 1t
was established by group OF Amerl-
cans who wished to see these foreign

happy and contented in their new
homes. Glasses in English were Or
ganized. They were shown how to
enjoy American games and pleasures
and how to enjoy the Old World Gus
toms without entirely isolating them
selves from their American neigh
bors.

.1ST COUPON BONDS

Bonds Bearing -Four and One Fourth
Per Cent Interest Available II
Exchanged Before Nov.
Is and Dec. IS.

Four per cent coupon bonds of the
first and second liberty loans now
outstanding, may be converted into
bonds bearing Az per cent interest
if presented for conversion before

bonds and Dec. Is for the first loan
bonds, the secretary of the treasury
announces. In SO exchanging 4 per
cent coupon bonds holders will be en-
titled to receive the higher interest
rate for the six months following, as
the final interest coupons on the
bonds now outstanding are dated for
Nov. is and Dec. Is, respectively.
In sending out directions for the
conversion of these per cent bonds,
the treasury department says the fol-
lowing:
Holders of per cent coupon bonds
of the second liberty loan and of the
first liberty loan converted who de-
sire to avail themselves of the con-
version privilege should present them
for conversion promptly before Nov.
10, 1919, AMI Dec. Is, 1919, resepct-
lively, and in that event will be
deemed to present their bonds for
conversion only and will receive up
on such conversion bonds bearing in
terest at 415 per cent per annum
from the respective dates OF CONVEX
sion, with coupons attached covering
interest to May / 5 and June Is, 1920,
respectively. The 40 per cent bonds
issued upon such conversion will be
exchangable by their terms on and
after May Is and June Is, 1920, for
AZ per cent bonds with all subse-
quent coupons attached.
This proffered conversion privil-
ege gives holders of these bonds the
benefit of the higher interest rate for
the six months Immediately following
the conversion of bonds and also
makes ii much easier for the banks
and the government. The bonds now
out must be exchanged for new ones
with subsequent coupons attached
and with the privilege of exchange
for a higher rate bond still in effect

RELIEF TO FARMERS IN
DRY PART OF NORTHWEST
Many Cattle Shipped Out to Good
Grazing Ground.

Stockmen and farmers in the SER
iously drought area OF Mon
tana and adjoining States, where
feed crops and pastures have failed
for lack of rainfall, are being given
some relief through well-organized
and cooperative efforts of the United
States Department of Agriculture
and State officials. The department
representatives designated to inves-
tigate conditions state that of the
100000 farms in Montana, 20 per
cent have failed to make crop this
year, and thousands OF stockmen are
taking advantage of the reduced
freight rates offered by railroads In
that territory to ship their cattle to
parts of the United States where feed
and pastures are available. One of
the most recent developments in the
relief work is the establishment Of
the departments emergency Office at
Billings, Mont, with Prof c. N. Ar
nett as the department western field
agent in charge.
1t Is estimated that 100000 to
700, 900 cattle will be shipped out Of
the State. approximately so per
cent of these represent the normal
shipment Stockmen are being ad-
vised to dispose of their steers, old
fat cows, yearlings and 2-year-old
steers and heifers where necessary
keeping at home cows with calves
No figures are available regarding
the aggregate number Of sheep to be
moved out, but it is believed that
sheep will suffer less than cattle.
The drought area includes all OF
the State of Montana, portions of
Idaho, the northern two-thirds of
Wyoming, the northwestern counties
Of South Dakota, and the western
half of North Dakota, Not only has
there been an unusually light pre-
cipitaton in most of this area during
the growing season for three years
but the snowfall in the mountains
last winter was below normal, the
temperatures since the first of April
1919, have been much above normal
and, therefore, what snow there was
in the mountains melted rapidly and
ran off sooner than usual, making a
shortage of water for irrigating pur-
poses and for stock.
Records of precipitation at the
Havre Experiment Station, kept since
1880, show that until 1918 there
have never been two years in sue
cession where there was not sufficient
