The number OF entries In the great
est newspaper contest ever conducted
IN this seton Of Kentucky Is simply
amazing. The Suns daily mail has
Increased to startling proportions
and before the FIRST publication OF
contestants Is made. world of work
must be done 10 properly classifying
these candidates and investlgating
their eligibility. For that reason Il
may be several days before the
first list Is printed hut when u Is,
the people OF West Kentucky viii be
most pleasingly surprised TO note the
number aud class OF people who have
interested themselves IN this gigantic
struggle.
This little explanation Is made for
the benefit OF the many anxious in
qnlrcrs who want to know when
will the hrst list be publlshed?"

or more contestants Will leave the

ment wants TO moralize little bit.
Perhaps no more fitting Illustrations
are found than In the plain. simple
fables OF Aes0p. and the following
would seem TO apply with particular
force just al this time, u goes
something like this:
"A certain husbandman. hing al
the point OF death, called his sons
around him. ana gave into their
charge. his fields and vineyards,
telling them that a treasure lay hid
den somewhere in them. within a
foot from the ground. His sons
thought he spoke OF money. which he
had hidden. and after he was buried,
they dug most industrlously all over
the estate. but found nothing. The
soil being so well loosened, however,
the succeeding crops were OF un-
. equaled richness. and the sons then
found out what their father had in
view in telling them to dis for hid
den treasure" IL
Now that Is Just exset.y what The
