GOV. BLACK
At RICHMOND
Formally Enters Race For Guberna-
torial Nomination-"If Nominated,
Kentucky Voters Will Elect"

Richmond, KY, May 19.-In a
speech which was marked with care
full avoidance of criticism, while at
the same time withholding any word
of praise for the present administra-
ton, Lieut.. Gov. Jas, D. Black open
ed his campaign for the Democratic
nomination for governor here Satur-
day. Mr.. Black delivered his address
in the Richmond Opera House, where
even all standing room was taken. he
was introduced by Judge Murray
Smith.
"If | am elected Governor my LIES
ambition will have been fulfilled, and
/ promise never to be a candidate for
political preferment again." said Mr..
Black.
He asserted that in the event of his
election he would undertake to have
the state tax laws amended SO that
the tax burdens would be more equit-
ably distributed.
But am not here to speculate on
the supposed virtue of some new ex-
pertinent in the laws of taxation or in
the management of the states affairs
which seem to fail to suggest, with
any degree of assurance any remedy
for the errors the past may have led
us into" he said.
Mr.. Black took mild whack at
Judge John ]. Carroll, who, it is said,
has been taking some of the thunder
out of the Black candidacy by the
widespread publication of advertise
ments intending to show that the lieu
tenant governor did not receive in the
election of 1915 as many S2tes as
did the head of the ticket.
The principal pledges of Mr.. Black
were for greater favors for the school
system of the state, full application
of good road measures, enforcement
of proposed prohibition amendment,
equal suffrage rights for women, pro-
lection of the interests of the labor
ng man, management of the penal
and charitable institutions without in
reference from politics, close in
vestigation of applications and appli-
cants for pardon, elimination or cur
tailment of dispensable expenditures.
"If you Democrats will nominate
me the Kentucky voters will elect
me-" asserted Mr.. Black. He closed
his address with a tribute to the late
Senator and Governor James B. Nc
Creary, who is buried here.

The Treasury expects this year to
realize from the sale of War Savings
Stamps, sufficient sum to materially
assist in financing the war budget
nv these sales before the end of the
wear. The Government hopes, thru
the 1919 campaign, to establish thrift
as a permanent habit of the Ameri-
can people, for the lasting prosper

+ion Regular saving is the sound
test of thrift and the sure founda-
tion for investment. The backbone
of the campaign is the War Savings
Society.

Among special war taxes which the
President in his message to Congress
suggested should be eliminated are
those on soda water and so-called
luxuries, such as expensive articles
of clothing and personal equipment;
on proprietary, medicinal and toilet
preparations, and on such manufac
turers' products as automobile trucks
and accessories, pianos and sporting
goods, chewing gum, candy, cameras
and cameara supplies, firearms, cleo
trio fans, thermos bottles and motor
boats. Taxes on most of these arti-
cles went into effect May and the
collection Of them, involving mum
cradle cases, has caused much COM
plant from retailers and purchasers.

THE MAGIC THRIFT LAMP
It Is Sold by Our Government To. day and the Countersign
 Is w. s. S."

Thrift Is the modern counterpart of Aladdins Wonderful Lamp. When Aladdin wanted gold, or Q palace, or the ancient equivalent of a limousine, he rubbed the lamp, and his wish came true.
 Children today, living in times a bit more practical, are learning the value of the Magic Thrift Lamp" as an ed ucator recently termed 1t. Compound interest is the Lamps working basis This is not a fairy story, so we do not hesitate to give away the secret of the Magic Thrift Lamp. In most savings banks interest is paid on deposits at the rate of per cent, payable every six months.
 The Government, through War Say ings Stamps, pays compound interest. The w. s. s. of today, costing S413, thus becomes S5 in five years, with no effort on your part except holding on to the stamp. In this manner interest the Magic Thrift Lamp-nakes tho dollar work for you, while you pay no attention to it at all. On January 1, 1924, when you receive the $5, you have more money and the pleasure of having helped the Government Then you can put the money in a savings bank, and 1t will continue to grow in value. In twelve and a half years from 1924 it will be double the original value, $4.13, and in thirty-fve years from today it will have quadrupled, for that is the principle of Interest Thrift, which works on a mathematical basis Aladdin never heard of. The more you invest today the greater will be your quadrupled total in 1854.
 Do you want to be wealthy? Then utilize the Magic Thrift Lamp today. It's a valuable habit
