YOU COUNT IN ONE WAY ONLY.
Never, so much as now, has the in
dividual counted for so little.
Individual rights, individual priv-j
lieges, individual responsibilities
have given way to the greater con
sideration, the welfare of the people
as a whole.
For nations, not peoples or races,
have taken in hand the destinies of
the world. The individual has been
pre-emptorily put aside.
Whether liberty shall live or perish
from the earth is for determination
in the aggregate. It is not for any
one iman to say.
The Kaiser soon is to realize this.
But there is one way in which you
can. count.
One way in which you may still
make yourself felt throughout this
storm-tossed world.
You can make your little individ
ual contribution to the cause of free
dom, of world democracy, of perma
nent peace.
You can buy a Liberty Bond.
You may otherwise be subordinat
ed, effaced, shunted into compara
tive oblivion and, made to feel that
you no longer- count.
But here you can take your little
place in the sun.
It's a chance of a lifetime; the
chance of yours.

DOMESTIC SERVICE FOR THE
PHYSICALLY DISQUALIFIED.
About 15 per cent, of the men sent'
to Louisville by local boards to be
inducted into limited service for
duty as clerks to the boards were re
tained by the army service, Maj.
Henry Rhodes said, on his return
from Louisville, where he took com
mand of his new force.
Domestic service men grade pttys
ically between general and limited
service, and do not come within the
purview of local boards.
The fact, that so many men classi
bed by local boards for military ser
vice were taken over by the army
caused considerable comment, as it
was thought they were found physi
cally fit for overseas duty and held.
The Marchmont Oil Co., composed,
chiefly of Paris capitalists, received
news Saturday that a big producing
well had been "brought in" on their
holdings in the oil district. The offi
cials were greatly elated when the
news came, as it justified former pre
dictions of a paying lease in the oil
field.
The Station Camp Oil Co., in which
many Paris and Bourbon county peo
ple are interested, "brought in" well
No. 6, on their Frank Callahan lease,
on Ross Creek, in Estill county, Fri
day. The well was pronounced good
for seventy-five barrel production
daily, and was being pumped at the
time the message was sent here. The
same copipany has started drilling in
a new well on the Frances Bingham
lease, in the same county.
A telegram was received here Sat
urday by a local stockholder in the
McCombs Producing and Refining
Company, telling of Well No. 10 be
ing "brought in" on the Adams lease
in Wolfe county. The new producer
is rated at one hundred barrels per
day capacity.
WASTING PRINT PAPER
(Chicago Tribune.)
While newspapers and magazines
are asked to cut down their con
sumption of paper, the Government
printing presses are busily turning
out tons of literature" much of which,
it is safe to say, never serves a high
er purpose than to clutter up the
waste basket. An attempt is being
made, we believe, to check this flood
of printed matter, but thus far noth
ing has been done about the Con
gressional Record. The subject has
come up in the House, and that old
abuse, "the extension of remarks,"
is naturally the center of attack. It
is hardly necessary to explain that
a member of Congress, by obtaining
"leave," can have anything from
the poetical effusions of a small town
bard to a campaign speech printed
in the Record. And then he can re
print it and frank it all over the
United States. To abolish the "ex
tension of remarks" would, of
course, be a sad blow to those Rep
resentatives and Senators who, for
one reason or another, can't make
speeches, but who find this a conven
ient device for giving their constit
uents the impression that they are
causing the halls of Congress to re
sound with their oratory. Perhaps a
better scheme would be to put a
heavy war tax on this use of the
Record.
BOOTLEGGERS ARRESTED
Jacob Brown and Robert Wood,
both colored, claiming Whitley coun
ty as their home, were fined $25 and
costs each, and sentenced to thirty
days at hard labor by Judge Batter
ton, on a charge of "bootlegging."
The men were placed under arrest by
Chief of Police Link, who found them
with about ten gallons of whisky in
their possession. The liquor was con
fiscated by the court and held for
possible presentation to the medical
supply department of the Massie Me
morial Hospital.

j RECORD YEAR FOR CANNING IN
DICATED.
Reports from manufacturers of
canning supplies who have conform
ed to recommendation of the United
States Department of, Agriculture in
making of equipment indicate that
the interest in home canning is in
creasing rapidly. There is a wide
spread demand for more equipment
that will save labor and time in can
ning. It is estimated that there has
been during the year a 50 per cent,
increase in the number of firms man
ufacturing hojme canning supplies,
an average increase of 25 per cent, in
the quantity of equipment sold, and
an increase of 300 per cent in the
demand for rubbers of standard
quality. Some of the department's
canning instructions have been pub
lished by outside parties in 10 differ
ent languages and more than 100
business concerns have reprinted the
directions for free distribution to
their employees and customers.
