S. 0. S. Call For Surdcal Dressings.
The Surgical Dressing Room, will
be open every day this week. Many
workers are needed in order to fill
the large quota assigned. If neces
sary make a sacrifice to answer this
call. The times are critical, a crisis
is imminent. Measure up.
When the American Red Cross
workshop in London received an ur
gent appeal for 200,000 flrstaid
packages, the committee in charge
replied, "We will deliver first-aid
packages as requested at rate of 15,
000 a week, beginning at once." The
order had to be filled without inter
fering with the regular hospital sup
ply output of the shop, and each
package was to contain twelve arti
cles, but the workshop exceeded its
, promise tne nrst weeK, ana a lew
weeks later, the entire order was in
the hands of the army authorities.

Volunteers From Bourbon For
Emergency Nurse Service
The call which was issued, last
week asking for volunteer emer
gency nurses whose services were
needed in caring for the soldiers suf
fering frqm the Spanish influenza
in the contonments, met with a
prompt and ready answer on the part
of Paris and Bourbon county women.
Twenty or more volunteered. As is
often the case, when The call first
came the requirements were not
sufficiently definite and there was a
bit of confusion. Some hospital
training or training acquired by
much practical nursing is now found
to be necessary for placement in a
cantonment. However, should we
have a serious epidemic in our own
city the civilian population would
find this reserve list of capable wo
men to be invaluable.

DE-
A large barn on the Allendale
Farm, near Shelby ville, owned by
Mrs. S. T. Hennlng, of Louisville,
was destroyed by Are Wednesday, to
gether with its contents of hay,
grain and feed, worth $12,000. The
total loss is $15,000, with $5,000 in
surance. Hard work by a bucket
brigade kept the flames from spread
ing to the house and 'dairy barn,
where the fapnous Allendale herd is
quartered.
Keen Your Appointments
Organizations engaged in various
fields of war service, the Red Cross,
War Comjmunity Service and similar
bodies, are complaining of the se
vere handicaps which they suffer
from the failure of peisons to keep
their appointments to perform cer
tain tasks. Many instances are cited
of excellent plans miscarrying
through such failure. When a person
pledges herself or himself to assist in
a task the organizations made defi
nite plans accordingly. Neglect ex
asperates, delays and disappoints.
Keep your appointments!

i :
Mr. Pilmore Shumate, of near

tery B., 21st Field Artillery, Amer
ican Expeditionary Force. The let
ter follows:
"Somewhere In France.
"Dear Folks: I received your let
ters to-day and was certainly glad
10 near trom you ail. 1 nave re
ceived several letters from you since!
I have been over here, and am very
glad to have the chance to thank yoji
for your goodness to me. I would!
have written tD you much sooner
but we have had a very unsatisfac
tory way of getting material and a!
place to write, so I just had to grab
the chance whenever it was offered.
. . . .We have been out on the front
line of battle for some time, but are
now back at a rest camp, but we will;
no doubt be back on the battle line
again very soon. I like to be there,
and I am telling you the truth,
would rather be in action, than lay-?
ing around a camp Well, this1
leaves me well and in fine health- I),
nave traveled over manyparts ofi
France, and while it is a fine coun
try, it is not at all like our good old1
U. S. A. Of course, everything here
is so very different from the way. we
Americans do it. I will have lots to
tell you when I get back Say,
folks, I would certainly like to see
THE BOURBON NEWS once in a
while, so I can get the news items
of what is going on around the old
place. . . .Well, it's time for the mess
call, so as there is very little going
on in the news line that would be
of interest to you. I will close for
this time. Please write to me again
very soon. With love, I am,
"PRIVATE ELMER SHUMATE,
"Battery B., 21st Fld. Art., Amer.
Expdtry Force, Via New York'.''
