It can be said now, however, that the records will show that more than 1,200 Kentuck- ians have given their lives to the cause, including those who have died at camps from, disease. The Council of Defense has kept a record of Kentucky boys who have been made prisoners.

When the "war emergency meas ure" was ' passed authorizing the President to take over the wire lines of the country, every mother's son in the Senate who advocated the pas sage of the bill declared it as a be lief that the President would not ex ercise the power conferred upon him. It was argued that the legislation was needed to deal with labor prob lems relating to the threatened strike of the telegraphers. Postmas ter General Burleson insisted that the interests of the country de manded the passage of the wire con trol; and it did not take long for him to bring the telegraph and tele phone lines under his control. The war went on, and the armistice was signed, and no one through it all had ever discovered anything with refer ence to the operation of wire lines that constitute a "war emergency." The President finally went before Congress, and announced that the "war is over." It was a little late in the day, but Mr. Burleson seized the cable lines just the same. The Commercial Cable Company protests, and resists its properties snatched from it by the unceremonious pro cesses that have been employed. The company has engaged Charles Evans Hughes as associate counsel to Win. W. Cook, and the Postmaster Gen eral is in for a merry scrap in the courts. "Government ownershib of the tel egraphs and telephones should no longer be delayed," Mr. Burleson says in his annual report, which is fresh from the Government printery. He adds: "Action of Congress in this matter is urgently recomjmended." There can be no objection to Mr. Burleson expressing these views in his report, for as a matter of fact he has constantly reiterated thif same opinion in previous years. But that the processes pursued towards wire properties under the Postoflice Department, were not contemplated when the legislation was before the Senate, is borne out by the fact that no less an authority than Senator Lewis declared it to be understood that the President did -not desire to exercise the authority sought in the resoluion. At the same time one of the leading officials of the wire com pany of the United States in speaking of events at Washington declared that "the question of Government ownership was not discussed." Mr. Burleson himself urged "the passage of the resolution, in order that the President may act, if necessary to safeguard their interests of the coun try during the prosecution of the war." When this was all going on last July, the intimation was resented that radical jmembers of the Demo cratic party with Mr. Burleson as their leader, were eager to have the lines brought under Government con trol and operation during the war as a forerunner to a fixed peace policy. The Commercial Cable Company takes the position that the manner in which they were "annexed" is plainly illegal, and they do not pro pose to submit to the confiscatory methods employed by Mr. Burleson. It is pointed out in their complaint that the action of the Postmaster General disurbs treaties with foreign nations, inasmuch as the company's properties stretch alike to European and Asiatic nations. It looks as though Mr. Burleson in his effort to use the translantic cables as his but tons for the Government ownership wire garment, is doing a poor piece of tailoring. The company evident ly believes that the Postmaster Gen eral has bitten, off a bigger chunk than he is going to be able to get away with. o COUNTY AGENTS' EFFORTS SAVE CATTLE. Through the co-operative efforts of the county agents in the Southern and Southwestern States this year hundreds of thousands of valuable cattle were saved. The great ranges in Wiestern Texas suffered a severe dorught in 1917. In 1918 the drought continued with increasing intensity. Two successive years with a. limited amount of rainfall left the range practically barren and the cat tle roamed" about them in.u starving condition. But in the Southeastern States conditions were different. There was abundance of feed and pasture and few cattle to utilize it. Through co-operation of the Bureau of Animal Industry and the Bureau of Markets of the United States De partment of Agriculture, county agents in Texas began to get in touch with the county agents in the Southeastern States where feed was plentiful and assisted farmers in re gions of heavy crop production to ob tain cattle from the drought-stricken regions of Texas. During the past year about 300,000 head were trans ported, largely through the efforts of the county agents. This service not only saved the Texas cattlemen from financial loss and assisted in develop ing a profitable and much-needed "branch of agriculture in the South eastern States, but helped materially, in conserving the Nation's meat sup ply at a critical time. o CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY Before using this preparation for a cough or cold you may wish to know what it has done for others.
