MUCH MONEY Is SAVED
LIVE STOCK DEALERS
Small Appropriation Saves Millions
For Kentucky Farmers,
Cohen Says.

Frankfort, KY, January 27--One
million dollars was saved the live
stock growers Of Kentucky in. 1913 by
the $2S,19O appropriation made by the
last Legislature to furnish munitions
to fight communicable disease In live
stock.
Matt Cohen, Commissioner Of Agri-
culture, is authority for this statement
but he says 1t will do more-it will
mean cheaper meat
There are now IL field represent
tatives, six Of whom are employed by
the Live Stock Sanitary Board and
six by the Bureau of Animal Industry.
These representatives since last
March have given the double treat
ment to 54,414 hogs, tested 119 herds
Of pure bred cattle, consisting Of 81
034 head, for tuberculosis, and treat
ed "a herds of sheep for foot rot. They
inoculated 800 head Of cattle against
black leg and treated and cured 600
cases of scabies in sheep.
Commissioner Cohen says the state
never made a better investment than
1t did when 1t appropriated funds to
aid in the control and eradication of
communicable diseases in live stock.

Big SCRAPS IN war
Maysville Man In Letter to His Broth
er Tells Of the Big Engagements
In Which He Took Part Dur.
Ing the Big Scrap In
Europe.

James Brown, popular Maysville
man, who was the first Maysvillian
to cross the sea and the first Mays
william to take part in the big world
war writes the following letter to his
brother, Cleon Brown, in which he
tells Of the battles in which he took
part:
Somewhere in Germany.
Cleon G. Brown
Dear Brother:
At last find time to write you as !
have been intending to do for some
time but as you will learn from the
letter wrote mother and father and
c. W. the past couple Of days we have
been pretty busy over here in Europe
the past few months winding up this
little affair to the satisfaction of all
l hope.
My outfit was among those picked
for the army Of occupation and we are
now occupying the little village Of
Rappach about Is kilometers from the
city of Coblanz which we staid one
night on our march here.
Cleon, your big brother has been
through some wonderful and awful
dangerous experiences the past IS
months but I am going to save that
until I come home to tell you all.
Now as the war is practically over
suppose lots Of soldiers will be COM
ing home with their hair raising stor-
les and when yet back the war will
be thing of the past but what my
outfit and I took part in will be down
in black and white on my discharge
and not boasting I don't think there
will be many around the old burg who
will have as much to his credit I'm
going to give you a few dates and bat
ties and operations I was in.
We sailed from the U. s. June IA,
1917, on the transport Antilles which
was later sunk. We sighted only one
submarine crossing, landed in France
June 9th at st. Main. From there
we went by rail direct to our training
area, little village in the state Of
Meuse by the name of Treveray, IS
kilometers from the front at that time
where we went through some hard
training and on October 81, 1917, we
were the first American troops ever in
the trenches when we occupied sec
tor on the Nancy front of the Lor-
raine. This was very quiet front then
and we were up there simply for ex-
perience after which we went back to
our training area where we staid I'M
til March 7, 1918, when we left for
continuous service at the front and
outside of weeks rest now and then
we were continually at the front or
going from one front to another.

wish you all merry Christmas

The clipping referred to above fol-
lows:
From a captured officer Of the Ger
man army comes a remarkable tribute
to the fighting prowess Of the First
Division of the American troops,
whose work will go down in history
as among the most remarkable of the
present war.
He declared the Germans did not
believe the American could produce,
within five years, division such as
they had found the First Division to
be- The German, when taken, had
seen four years of severe fighting.
This is what he had to say yesterday:
81 received orders to hold the
ground at all COSTS. The American
barrage advanced toward my position
and the work Of your artillery was
marvellous. The barrage was 80 dense
that 1t was impossible for US to move
out Of our dugouts.
Following the barrage closely were
the troops of the First Division. l
saw them forge ahead and knew that
all was lost All night remained In
my dugout, hoping vainly that some
thing would happen that would per-
NIT my army. This morning your
troops found me and here I am, after
four years Of fighting, prisoner.
yesterday I knew that the First
Division was opposite US, and knew
we would have to put up the hardest
fight Of the war. The First Division
is wonderful and the German army
knows It.
I'VE did not believe that within FIVE
years the Americans could develop a
division such as this First Division.
The work Of its infantry and artillery
is worthy Of the best armies Of the
world"
