BUY FIFTH LIBERTY BONDS
AND BE SAFE.

About the saddest thing in che
world is to undergo self-denial for
years, to save money and then to see
the rainy day fund" wiped out by
the failure Of some wild cat" scheme.
This happens every day. Widows
and Woodworking men are credulous.
They listen to the oily promises of
get rich quick" promoters and hand
over their savings to slick statesmen
with blue sky" securities promising
impossible profits.
And when the bolt falls out of the
clear sky the pitiful savings Of years
disappear in an instant. "The
Bonanza PATROL Co. has gone up. We
are ruined!" Then there Is nothing
to do but begin life all overland at
time when earning capacity has be-
gun to ebb and the way is thornier
than ever before.
Whatever the temptation may have
been in the past to do this thing,
there is no excuse for It now. Hun.
dreds Of thousands Of experienced
publicity and investment men have
been at work for nearly two years,
under the authority Of the American
Government. educating millions Of
people In the fine art of safe invest
ing. It is undoubtedly the fact that
more people are saving money today
than ever before in all the history Of
the world. And more Of the people
are interested in the proper handling
Of their savings accumuiations. Lit.
orally millions have been taught to
buy Government bonds, and they have
learned to buy Thrift and War Saw
ings Stamps as the best possible way
to prevent the waste OF fugitive
quarters and dimes.
The Government will offer another
chance to get In on the ground
floor" during the spring when the
Fifth Liberty Loan is offered. The
money will be spent to pay the cost
Of maintaining and restoring to their
homes the valiant soldiers who have
won for America the worlds great.
est victory. The bills must be paid
and the American people must pay
them.
From the thrift and savings" view.
point the Fifth Liberty Loan will be
as good as, or even better than. the
previous Liberty Loans. II is likely
to have shorter maturity and that
will enable the holder to obtain a
generous income while he holds them
and get his principal back, with a
handsome appreciation during the
coming period of intense activity and
prosperity.
II anything goes up In value" Lib
erty bonds surely will. The way to
get the benefit Of such advances in
value is to buy the coming Fifth Lib
erty bonds.
To buy them when they are offered
everybody should begin saving up
now.
Set aside all the money you can
spare out of your wages and have 4,
in your savings bank for the initial
payment on Fifth Liberty Bonds.

LOCAL OIL COMPANY PURCHASES
MILE FREEMAN FARM

The Cooperative Land and Devel-
opment Company, of Paris, has pur-
chaos the Mile Freeman farm in
fee, including a one-sixteenth royalty
in the oil, according to s. V. Brents,

for some time, was closed by c. L.
Bell, president of the company and
also president of the Bourbon Oil Il
Development Company. The consid-
Grafton was not made public, but Is
said to have been between $4,000
and SAC, 1000.
The Mile Freeman farm embraces
400 acres lying on the watershed be-
tween Ross Creek and Station Camp

Although there ID TO be no further

burrows made by the engines OF war,
the aftermath of suffering in France
this winter would be a greater desc

UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY COL
=, LEGE OF AGRICULTURE.

The lifting of the Influenza regu-
lations in Lexington, which action
was taken On December 18th, is hav-
ing an effect upon the entire State
by reason of the fact that the series
of short courses in agriculture, which
the University of Kentucky had in.
tended to offer, could not be at
tended by civilians, so long as the
regulations existed.
Many people from all part of
Kentucky have inquired repeatedly
about being admitted and quite a
number actually came to Lexington
only to find that the University was
closed, to all persons except the stu
dents in military training already al
the University.
The influenza was not so severe
in Lexington as it was in many
places, but extra precautions were
taken on account of the many schools
and colleges there, and the fact thai
the University was an army camp
The stringency Of the regulations
may have had much to do with the
comparative lightness of the scourge
in Lexington.
Persons all over Kentucky will bt
interested to know that the two
weeks courses, in agriculture, were
resumed December 30th. They arr
free to everyone. "A new series o.
courses opens every other Monday.
