Species Of caeti Form Hedges Prae
ticaIly Impenetrable.

The hedges which we ordinarily see
boroering country estates are planted
for their ornamental and identifying
effect, and not as substitute for fenc.
Ing material, but in the extreme south
western part Of the United States
there are many hedges which serve
primarily this latter purpose. Various
species Of cacti. such as the prickly
pear, are used by ranchmen to inclose
cattle ranges in those arid regions
and these hedges are practically i'm
penetrable. Wild animals are thus
effectually prevented from attacking
the herds and fiocks, and supply OF
fodder may always be obtained by
burning off the spines from the tender
young shoots of the cactus.
Remains of hedges 10 feet in height
are to be seen near the locations OF
the old missions in southern Califor
mia, where they once served as forti-
fcations to protect the little settle
ments. Instead of fences the Mexicans
use what is known as the organ cac
tus. When stakes of this plant are set
in the earth they readily take root
and soon present a formidable barrier
OF thorns.-Harper's Weekly.

FOR STATEWIDE PROHIBITION,

During the past week a Chau-

velop conviction favorable to
Statewide prohibition. Similar
assemblies were held at Winches-
ter and Morehead in connection
with our town. L. l.. Pickett, of
Wilmore, KY, recent candidate
for.Governor, was in charge. The
meetings were to be held in a
tent, but as the tent shipped from
Shelbyville was delayed until Fri
day, the Methodist Church was
used most of the time. This Sc
riously interferred with the plans.
Mr.. Pickett, Mr.. Regain, of
Chicago, and Rev. Hall, of Los
Angeles, were the principal speak
ers. The music was furnished by
"a quartette of young men and the
celebrated Loose family.
Mr.. Regain is talented cartoon

relation of prohibition to the tax
problem, showing how the reve-
nue. cut by prohibition can be

Rev. Hall is an enthusiastic,

who has been on the lecture plat
for II years.
From various influences the at
tendance was smaller than expect

closed Sunday night, but Mr..
Regain stopped here on Monday
night going east from Winchester.
