For some time past it has Ticcn
known to many of my Republican
friends throughout the State, that I

Senator.
I now desire to make public an
nouncement of that fact.
I keenly appreciate the responsibi

I will give to the duties of this office
the best there is in me and will repre
sent the people of Kentucky and of
the United States to the best of my
ability.
I desire, also, to take advantage of
this opportunity to express my sin
cere thanks to the many Republicans
throughout the State who have, with
out solicitation on my part, so kindly
and generously offered me their sup
port. Richard P. Ernst,

DEFLATION BEGINS
NEXT IS LOWER PRICES.
From Sun and N. Y. Herald.
In the abnormal economic situa
tion of back breaking taxes, egregious
inflation and prcdosterous costs the
meaning of Comptroller Williams's
report that the country's bank depos
its have recently fallen by a billion of
dollars is clear and significant. Bank
deposits in the main move up and
down with industrial and mercantile
loans. Prodigious bank deposits, in
other words, represent prodigious
borrowings by the industries and busi
nessess going to the banks to get the
money to do their work.
A fall in such loans, whether op
tional with the borrowe'rs because
they don't need them any more or
compelled by the banks because they
must restrict credits, indicates a
slackening of activity in business and
industry which previously required
those funds.
o At this particular moment a reduc
I tion of deposits due to a reduction of
credits is soeciallv significant for this
to Dccome aeaaiocKeu.
With the shelves of merchants bare
everywhere in the country, with the
warehouses ot producers yawning
their emptiness of supplies, with coal
and iron mines, oil wells and lumber
camps, steel plants and textile mills
behind in their output, lower loans
and deposits spell no disaster if, by

they foreshadow, production again De

TRIBUTE TO THE ARMY MULE
He was not exalted
In his native laud,
He was never vaulted
To a high command.
Famed throughout our borders,
Humblest of his schooJ,
It is time that orders ,
Cite the army mule.
Noise was not a stranger
To his simple way,
Yet in time of danger
Men could hush his bray.
Stubborn but forget it,
He knew when to cease,
For he never let it
Keep us out of peace.

This is a delicate task, better done by

make them grow in longer and thicker,

The eyebrows, too, will benefit by

A MESSAGE TO YOU
FROM ARMENIA.
Tula C. Daniel.
People will ask "Did we not have
a campaign last year for this same
cause? To be sure we did and thanks
are extended to all who contributed.
"What was the object of the previous
campaign?" To save as many as pos
sible from death by starvation. That
is just why there is another campaign
now; because so many arc still alive,
due to vour magnificent charity, and
we cannot lot them starve now, after
having saved them last year and for
three years previous.
Kentucky and Tennessee have, the
orphanage at Aleppo for their share
in this. Near East Relief Crusade of
Compassion. Thousands and thous
ands of orphans, their fathers slain in
battle, their mothers carried off to
Turkish harems, are left to our tender
mercies.
Mr. Vickcry, the National Secretary
writing one of our citizens says "the
war is not over in the Near East
relief. Conditions arc much the same
as they were before the Armistice
except where they are worse many lit
tle children have but a single garment
to protect them form the bitter cold
of tnc plateaus in the mountain coun
try. Thousands of refugees perished
last winter. We would hesitate to even
try and relieve such frightful condi
tions but for the continued support
of large-hearted people like yourself".
This is written to one who has not
only given once but twice or thrice.
The Lord bless him and his house
hold! Miss Higgins says, "Humanity
lias no limit. It reaches to the end of
the Wjrld and even to the world be
yond."
She says: "To adopt an orphan is
sometimes considered quite a job for
an individual but to adopt 250,000 is
the job of a nation, and a great one,
and that is the very job which the
United States is going to undcrtake.
if the drive for Near East Relief ends
as successfully as it started.
"The scheme is unique; it stirs the
imagination for one nation to adopt
and support the entire child life of
another nation which is six thousand
miles away. It marks a new era in
the history of philanthropy."
Irvington citizens sent us a check
for $81.80 and Mr. C. H. Claycomb
sent us an offering of $2.50 ' This
brings the total for Breckinridge
so far up to $1,045.35.
And still there's more to follow.
What about your town?
Perhaps some are reading this who
do not know that $G0.00 per year will
support, educate, house, clothe, feed
one pitiful waif in the Near East.
That is only $5.00 per month, you
know. Some could give $25 00 per.
year, some $20.00, some $15.00, $10 00
or $5.00. Our county treasurer for
Mr. B. F. Beard, Asst. Cashier, Hard
insburg Bank. Call on him, or mail
this Near East Relief Crusade ia'
him your check, or to me as chairman
of the work in Breckinridge.
I asked Mr. Shallcross, the National
Committee representative when here,
as to a report of a very exagerated
salary paid to our state director. He
declared it untrue. "No worker receiv
es such a salary Not even men with
families to support.'' I mean no Near
East Relief worker. Take much that
you hear. "Cum grano."
WHITE COLLAR MEN.
The white collar men
Who push at a pen
And 'click the typewriter keys
Have come to the fore
With a one hundred score
In perilous times like these.
They're a trifle raw,
Some might pick a flaw
In the way they shovel coal,
Or throw a switch,
Or give brakes to a twitch;
But somehow they reach the goal.
So wheels turn, a few,
And some cars get through,
And we don't stand still or quit;
And the milk and the mail
Some way don't fail
It's the work of men of grit.
All the honors, then,
To the white collar men I
They renew our faith in the breed,
As of who averred,

You can bank that it is my deed I"

COMRADES.
Faithful zealous little buddy,
You were always close to me,
Clpse in every hour of danger
As we fought across the sea.
You were always my companion
In the watches of the night,
In the cold mud in the trenches,
In the perils of the fight.
When in No-Man's Land I ventured,
And I prayed to Heaven to guide,
When Ihe star shells burst above us,
You were always, at my side.
When I lay chilled and unsheltered,
In the cold and soaking rain,
You were with me, always busy,
Making me forget my pain.
For you never left me lonely,
Always was your presence near;
And I never will forget you,
