BOURBON COUNTY MAN WINS
FISHING CONTEST

The fishing contest inaugurated
for year 1919 by Bourne & Bond,
sporting goods dealers of Louisville,
came to close Saturday. Elisha D.
("Shy'') Brown, of Hutchinson, this
county, was successful in winning
the gold watch fob offered as a prize
for catching the largest bass during
the year. His fish weighed six
pounds and nine ounces.
Brown had been noted for many
years as an expert fisherman, and
has been winner in other contests
held under the auspices of the avobe-
named firm. His father, the late
Richard NJ. ('Uncle Dick") Brown
was, in his time, one of the most
noted fishermen in the State. He was
for several terms County Clerk OF
Bourbon, and one of the county's
pioneer citizens.

THE MODERN woMiN's CAREER

Every year more women are going
INTO business on their own account.
Almost all girls now plan to enter
industrial business or professional
work. How can they fit themselves
for the higher ranks of business sue,
cess, and rise above the routine Jobs
usually offered women?
Also what shall the married woman
do who feels she cannot maintain the
standard of comfort to which she is
accustomed on her husbands income :?
shall she keep her job in business and
the industries? If so. what becomes
Of the husband and children and fam
lily life?
Many women readers Of the Morn
ing journal are asking themselves
these questions. This newspaper in
tends to publish number of short
editorials on social and economic topics
in the Sunday issues, Women wage
earners and wives and mothers and
husbands will all wish to read series
of articles to begin soon that will
throw light on these tremendously
vital questions.

The habit really quits you and its depart-
ure is pleasure equal to its Indulgence
If you want to know how much easier il
is to quit the habit with NIcotol than
without IT, go twenty-four hours without
tobacco and note what an effort it COSTS
You then begin using it as usual and take
Nicotol tablets At the end of a week
discontinue smoking or chewing for a day
and It is probable you will have no desire
to resume, At least your desire will be
greatly diminished and another week or
two should make it not only possible, but a
pleasure to quit
NOTE: DR., Connor formerly Of Johns
Hopkins Hospital, under whose advice Mic
.otol has often been used, said when this
statement was shown to him: Il have
known Ntcoto to conquer the tobacco habit
In less than ten days time and I can there
fore recommend It highly" When the doc
tors statement was shown to one of our
leading druggists he said: "Nicotol is truly
wonderful remedy for the tobacco habit
way ahead Of anything we have ever sold
before. We are authorized by the manu-
facturer to refund the money to every dis
satisfied customer and we would not per-
nit the use Of our name unless the remedy
possessed unusual merit" Nicotol is sold

guarantee by all up-to-date druggists, in

The commander of the 9Th corps
in response to my request, had APP
preached several mining experts in
his province and asked their advice
as to the best method of destroying
the mines in Upper Silesia. The exc

now decided on.

province. / had to make it impossible
for the Russians to use the mines for
n long time Military interests made
it imperative.
Later on in the war the English
destroyed the Rumanian oil fields
even more ruthlessly. Coal is of
equally vital importance of waging
war.
AS it happened. the opinion of a
higher authority was taken, and it
proved possible to modify the scheme
of destruction somewhat.
Poles We're Not Friendly.
The attitude of the Polish inhabi-
tants of our frontier provinces was
not conciiatory. They were very re-
served and aloof. No clear-sighted
man could have expected anything
different.
In view of our inferority in num-
bers it was very important for the
approaching decision that we should
draw on the Prussian eastern fort
resSes and the various attached corps
under our command for all such
available troops and war material as
could be utilized for active operations
IN the field We had made a start
with this system as far back as Au-
gust, 1914, and in course of time we
were able to form as large a number
of divisions in the east out of Land
sturm Landwehr and former fortress
troops as General Won Moltze had at
his disposal for the battle of KONG
gratZ. Later these divisions were
given numbers Just like the active di-
visions, but this did not change their
special character.
OF course, the demands made on
these divisions. especially as regards
fighting and marching, were not the
same as those required of units COM
posed of younger men; but in times
of great stress it was often impossi-
bic to give them special treatment.
These troops did more than could
reasonably be expected of them. They
gave of their best in defense of
hearth and home. wife and child.

War changes everything in a coun-

While some of the war expenditures
