New Orleans. April 21.--Incenset
because his stepmother had left him
at home near Opelousas, La, In
charge OF his young stepbrothers and
sisters for the day, Tom Godfrey. a
l2-year-old negro boy, fed the young
est of his charges to the hogs, and
later with an ak inflicted what will
probably prove fatal wounds on the
heads of the other two children.
The stepmother reported the triple
crime TO the parish authorities. and
Tom was placed in jail at Opelousas.
She says she found the baby In the
pen with the hogs when she returned
home late yesterday. Its hands and
feet had been eaten on, but II was
still alive.
She straightway whipped Tom. and
when she went for doctor to attend
the baby, Tom seized an ak and at
tackled his 6-year-old stepbrother, in
ficting several deep wounds. His
young stepsister interfered. and he
crushed her skull with the ak. The
girl Is dying. and the other two chill

TIE DRAINAGE QUESTION.

County Judge Lightfoot could do
nothing at the conclusion OF his ad-
ministration to earn for him the re-
gard of the people Of Paducah, bet
ter than to carry out the proposed
plan for draining the northwestern
section of the city, nor would he
be doing anything more than just or
more in accordance with the best
interests OF McCracken county. The
city pays most of the county taxes.
and moreover. the citizens OF the
rural sections are just as much con-
cerned with welfare of Padueah. as
Paducah is in the welfare OF the
rural districts. Everything that aids
the development OF Paducah ad-
vances the price of land in her ter
ritory.
No matter is OF greater concern TO
the aeizens OF Paducah than that of
drainage. The level streets OF
great advantage in some respects
give rise to difficult and expensive
probleHe OF engineering. and the
question Of health. accessibility,
property values, compactness and at

He wrote me that the league of which
Paducah was a member was totterlng,
and I wired him to come TO Toledo
How much do you want to play
for us?' | asked him.
"'Wen, said Grover, 4 was getting
500 a month in Paducah: l think a
team Ike Toledo ought TO be able to
pay me s125.'
81 took his arm, led him TO the
baseball Office and picked up blank
contract stipulating Growers salary
at 1925 a month.
Is this ali right?' 1 asked him
handing 1t over.
Land choked up little as he read
the figures.
DO you mean that, Gene?' he
asked. l assured him that II he did
the same class of work for Toledo
that he had done for Paducah that
1926 a month was small pay.
Grover got into the game the next
day and made good from the start.
II asked him today to do me per
sonal favor.

Twenty Years From Today Bald

One of the most prominent drug
gists of America made a statement
a few weeks ago which has caused a
great deal of discussion among soien-
fists in the medical press.
He said: ''If the new hair grower.

liz has during the past year. II will
be used by nearly every man, woman
and child in America within eight
years"
"And when Partisan Sage Is used
almost universally, dandruff will dis

There Is only one way to cure
dandruff and that Is to kill the
germs. There is only one hair prepa-
ration that will kill the germs, and
that Is Partisan Gage.

record OF thousands OF cures will

CAN CRADLE A NATION.
Argentina, Fertile in Soil and Vast
In Territory New Empire.

Argentina has 100000 square
miles of agricultural lands, of which
almost one-fifth is in a state OF cul-
tivation. 1t is insisted by travellers
who have explored that country and
calculated its possibilities that the
agricultural and grazing lands OF
Argentina are unsurpassed for live
stock breeding on the globe. The
climate is similar to ours. and a
mighty nation will be created there
whenever capital is supplied 20 ex-
ploit IL and labor imported TO de-
velop il. In addition, there are vast
stores of mineral wealth in the
mountains awaiting the miner. the
blast furnace and the steel mill.
IL is estimated that the United
Kingdom OF Great Britain and Ire
land imports foods 90 the value OF
s1.O0O.OOO.OOO per annum. Much OF
the beef and mutton comes from Ar
gentina. where il is claimed such
provisions can be produced cheaper
than in any other country. That
was true OF the United States when
our population was under 50.00e.-
600; but it is no longer so. Perhaps
in no other country OF considerable
Importance are animal foods dearer
TO the householder than in the
United States.
IL is said that a great stream OF
Italian immigration is pouring into
Argentina, and it is hoped to sup
plement II with Germans. a race that
is now almost as land-hungry as
their cousins. the Anglo-Saxons OF
Europe and America: but the Ger
man government has other views. Il
hopes TO create great and prosper
Gus colonies. and to that end il is
encouraging the German emigrant to
go to German possessions in Africa.
