 Portland, Me., and is about ready for her first trip. 



T. W. Minton & Son, Barboursville, Ky., manufacturers of ash and

 ing the fact that the concern has filled government orders ahead of schedule. 

 The company recently agreed to pay a bonus of five per cent on all Liberty

The Louisville Point Lumber Compan.v has been so short of men that It 

 has been forced to apply to the United States Employment .Service for 

 twenty men in order to keep operations going along. Almost every local 

 manufacturer is In the same condition as a result of the government 

 demand. 



The JeffersonviUe, Ind., branch of the American Car & Foundry Company, 

 which for several years has been making nothing but passenger coaches, has 

 secured an order for 1,400 wooden cars with metal bottoms, for use in 

 France, these cars to be of the gondola type. It is planned to build them 

 and knock them down for shipment to France. 



Volney H. Br.vant, treasurer of the Mengel Box Company, is one of the 

 directors of the Louisville Automobile Club, who has had charge of supply- 

 ing cars owned by members of the organization to take care of transporta- 

 tion of nurses, and for handling sick from the city hospital and base

The influenza epidemic that has had Kentucky in its grasp for two weeks 

 or more is not quite so bad as it wasy although the civilian death list and 

 military death list, the latter at Camp Taj'lor and Camp Knox, have been 

 heavy. New cases are numerous, but deaths reported are fewer. The^ 

 State Board of Health has matters well In hand. All amusements are closed, 

 and retailers are not permitted to hold bargain sales. Saloons and soda 

 fountains have to close at 6 :30 in the evening. Crowds are not allowed to 

 congregate. Cars are limited to the number of passengers they may carry, 

 and must keep all windows and doors open except when it is raining. 

 Chairs have been removed from all hotel lobbies. Conventions have been 

 called off. Schools and churches are closed. If it wasn't for the lifting of 

 the gasolineless Sunday edict, it is hard to figure out just what would be 

 left for the public to do. However, conditions are and have been serious, 

 and every effort had to be made to help. The fall races at Latonia hav« 

 been indefinitely postponed, and the convention of the Ohio Valley Improye- 

 ment Association, on water ways and Ohio Kiver barge lines, has been 

 called off for the time being. The State Board of Health is not permitting 

 any conventions, and it is understood that the loggers' convention at 

 Lexington for this week has been postponed indefinitely.
