REMEMBER THE ANT
Save and havel

Remember the story of the
ant and the grasshopper? The
ant worked and saved. The end
of each day found him with a
little more added to what he
had the day before. The grass
hopper danced and sang and
fiddled his time away. Winter
came; the ant had plenty. The
grasshopper had nothing; he
had not saved. He went to the
ant and asked for help. Said
the ant: While l worked, you
fooled your time away. You
can dance now for all l care"
Are you an ant-person OF a
grasshopper person? Some
time are you going to have to
ask for help and will someone
tell you to dance; or will you
be independent?
II you save now, you'll have
later on. Let the end OF every

Trading Lively In Town
- On a Cold Court Day

Notwithstanding the 'co,,l.. weather
there was q fairly good crowd in town
cour tday. Trading was brisk all Gag
and prices on cattle held up well.
Mule prices were a little off, especial
ly as regards army mules, a number
of which were offered at the East End
Stock Yards, by Hughes and McCarty
of Ohio. The farmers seemed to have
an idea that something was wrong
with the veterans from the army, and
did not take hold of them much.
Those that did sell did not average
much over $500 pair. Trading in
town was much better on mule stuff,
and there were a number Of sales
made at good prices.
There were about 1,500 cattle at
the East End Stock Yards, and they
sold from to 13 cents pound. Most
of the feeders sold around liz cents.
Collins and Lakes sold several of the
best punches that changed hands. T.
E. Baldwin, Sr., bought bunch to
feed at liz cents pound, and his
son, Tom Baldwin, Jr., paid about 13
cents for a bunch. About 100 hogs
at this market sold around IA cents.
The Madison Yards had a good run,
too, something like 1,25o cattle being
sold there; heavier stuff bringing
around liz cents, with cheaper stuff
slow and draggy. A load of hogs
sold at 13 cents. A bunch of Lincoln
county feeders, including Jack Spoon
amore, John Goggin ard others
bought some nice stuff at these
yards.

Government Veterinary To
Speak Next Court Day

DR.. VI. H. Doller, L. S. Government
Veterinarian, will speak at the court
house next Court Day on diseases of
hogs, especially hog cholera. This
is the most deadly of hog diseases,
and has caused tremendous losses
throughout the country in the past.
In order to reduce hog losses, the
government has assigned four veter-
narians to Kentucky to cooperate
with the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board. To date the work accomplished
has been the reduction of losses from
S2,05O,000 TO $4,000. But this is
entirely too much especially in view
of the fact that the need for fats is
greater today than in the history of
the world. DR.. oller will explain the
cause, prevention and treatment and
it is to your personal interest to at
tend.

FAVOR RETURN TO
PRIVATE OWNERSHIP
Majority of Interstate Commerce
Commission Gives Detailed State
ment To Senate Committee.

Washington, Jan. 7-Opposition to
government ownership or operation of
railroads at this time was expressed
today by the Interstate Commerce
Commission in a statement presented
to the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee at its hearing on railway
Legislation by Commissioner Edgar
E. Clark.
Considering and weighing as best
we can, all the arguments for and
against the different plans" said the
statement, 1--WE are led to the convic-
tion that with the adoption of appro-
pirate provisions and safeguards for
regulation under private ownership, it
would not be wise or best at this time
to assume government ownership or
operation of the railways of the coun-
try"
The Commission declares, however,
"a reasonable period of readjustment
or preparation" should be allowed be
fore REIMBURSEMENT of government
control. at seems obvious" says
the statement, "that no plan of pri-
vate ownership should be considered
unless under broadened, extended and
amplified government regulation"
Commissioner Wooley, dissented,
advocating McAdoo's extension of
federal management.
The Commission presented a detail
ed program for proposed legislation
in case the railroads are returned to
private ownership, providing for
strict government regulation of rates,
services, finances, security issues, and
pooling Of facilities and clariicat on
of any doubtful relationship between
federal and state authorities.

League of Nations Plan

Paris, Jan. THE Paris edition of
the London Daily Nail outlines what
it calls the American plan of league
of nations, which, it asserts, Great
Britain has accepted. 1t says each
country would send an Ambassador,
who will be member of the Cabinet
at home, an Ambassador continuously
and act in agreement with the home
government. The Court of the Lea
que Of Nations, however, will be sub
ordinate to and distinct from the Am
bassadors. Arbitration in case of n
dispute will be voluntary if desired,
and compulsory if necessary. In case
of refusal TO arbitrate, the league
would appoint some of its members
to exercise pressure.

NEIGHBORS AND OLD
FRIENDS In CHARGE
of Last Obsequies of Roosevelt To-
morrow-Wilson Wires Message
of Coincidence From Europe

Oyster Bay-With Flags at half
mast, its citizens are in deep
mourning over the death of Col
onel Roosevelt yesterday. Ar
rangements for an unostentious
funeral tomorrow are being per-
fected today by members of the
family High over Sycamore Hill
Army Aeroplanes have maintain
ed a ceaseless vigil, occasionally
sweeping down to drop a wreath
of laurel.
In accordance with the wishes
OF the former President, the OBJ
sequies will be almost of spartan
simplicity. Secretary Baker to-
day, according to a message from
Washington offered a guard of
honor at the funeral but the fam
lily declined, because of the Roos-
evelts' wish that it be conducted
entirely by old friends and neigh
bors.
Among the hundreds of mes
sages of sympathy received was
one from President Wilson dated
at the FrancO-ltalianjFrontier.

SPANISH INFLUENZA,
MORE DEADLY THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives
Than American Loss in Battle.
Danger Not Over. Great Care
Necessary To Prevent Fur.
ther Outbreak.

The appalling ravages of Spanish
Influenza in this country are perhaps
best realized by the statement recent
ly made, that more deaths have re-
suited in little more than month
from this disease than through our
whole eighteen months participation
IN the battles of the European War.
Our greatest danger, now. declare
authorities, is the American tendency
to forget easily and to believe the
peril is over. Competent authorities
claim the coming of cold weather is
very apt to bring a return of this di-
sease and there should be no let-up
throughout the winter months of the
following easily observed precautions,
remembering that influenza is far
easier to-prevent than cure.
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Inf1u-
Ienza germs spread where ignorant or
careless persons sneeze or cough
without using handkerchief. Cover
up each cough or sneeze. Do not spit
on the floor, sidewalks in street cars
or public places. Avoid the use of
common drinking cups and roller tow
els in public places. Breathe some
reliable germicidal and antiseptic air
to destroy the germs that do find
Judgement in your nose and throat.
Remember, no safer precaution
against Influenza could be employed
in this nlaner than to get from the
nearest drug store complete Hyo-
mel Outfit consisting of a bottle Of
the Pure Oil of Hyomei and a little
vest pocket hard rubber inhaling de-
vice, into which a few drops of the
oil are poured. You should carry this
inhaler about with you during the day
and each half hour or so put 1t IN
your mouth and draw deep hreaths Of
its pure, healing germ killing air into
the air passages Of your nose, throat
and lungs.
By destroying germs before thew
actually begin work in your blood,
you may msse yourself practically
immune to Infection
An these wGGestions about Spanish
Influenza are equally tuae y the pre-
vention Of colds, catarrh 81 nose and
throat, bronchitis and even pl1eumcn-
ia. Don't become harmless. Do your
part. Keep the germs away. You
may save yourself ~ 6erious illness.

ate drinkers and can take a glass OF
wine and drink and talk all day, but
