THE BOY.
Give Him The Best Advantages
That Can Be Afforded.

hO PtOiiNhl VI w nav w uO
with the hoy" is one that nearly
every father of a boy must face.
Sooner or later the boy must 90
out into the world to make his
own way. What is ne to do9 Is
he to be a lawyer, doctor. mer-
chant, mechanics
How many parents, asks a
writer, have studied their boys to
see if they could find special apti-
tude for certain line of work to
meet only with encouragement.
IF my boy would indicate his
preference for some line of work,
| could do something for him.
But why try to make lawyer out
of him, when he doesn't know
himself whether he wants to be a
lawyer or a railroad brakeman, y
the father may say in explaining
his embarrassment. Yet youth
full preference is of little value.
Rare, indeed, must be the man
that can not look to his boyhood
days and find that at various times
he had ambition to be a circus
rider, a railroad engineer, a cham
pion prize fighter, a criminal law
yer, a pirate, an Indian fighter
and Jessie James.
The unreliability of the prefer
ence of youth as a guide to the
future is shown by G. w. Bardeen
in an article in The School Bulle-
tin, based on his own experience
as school teacher. He says:
Eleven years ago, in a Massa-
chusetts town where | was Super
intendent of Schools, sent a ques-
tionnaire to 466 children between
~ and 16 years. One of the ques-
tons was, What vocation do you
expect to follow2" The purpose
of the QUESTIONABLE was to get
material for talk to the young
people of that community. Less
than year ago | found that ques-
tionnaire among my 'deadwood.
| rescued it and succeeded in get
ting authentic information re-
speeding the vocations of 400 of
the original 1866. OF the 400 five
were following the vocations they
had selected eleven years ago. l
presume that throughout this
country not over one per cent. of
children in the elementary grades
will follow the vocations they
might choose today"
However, there really is no occa-
sion for the father of the boy to
take too much at heart his boys
future. Give the boy the best adj
vantages that can be afforded
not necessarily expensive advan-
tages-in the way of elevating en-
vironment of books and associates.
Water reaches it's level and in the
end the most of us reach about the
level for which we are fitted.
Genius can not be suppressed.

THOUSANDS
Hear Vigorous Appeal For BurIey
Pool.

over 5000 planters, their fami-
lies and citizens were the guests of
the Winchester Commercial Club
at barbecue. In point of attend
ance, and the message which elo-
quent speakers brought the occa-
sion was notable.
BY proclamation of the Mayor
all business was suspended. Dur
ing the early forenoon Saxton's
band rendered a concert program
on the public square; streets were
lined with vehicles, and sidewalks
were moving columns. As noon
approached, the scene of animation
was transferred to the fair
grounds, where the crowd swirled
and eddied, and finally transform
ed the amhitheatre into moving
field of eager faces.
Following welcome and an adj
dress by Hon. Claude NJ. Thomas,
the assemblage, swelled by con-
tinuous stream from streets,
swept out over the field and bank
ed tables built in a hollow square.
A Young herd of cattle, flock of
sheep, burgooed and barbecued,
together with enough loaves to
pave block, punctuated the elo-
quence and enthusiasm that was
the real feast of the occasion.
Then the band played some STIR
ring things, and Justice Edward
9. ORear, Rev. j. NJ. Rash, Hon.
w. p. Kimball, Miss Lloyd, Con-
gresham j. A. Hughes, of West
Virginia, and President Clarence
LeBus made addresses. -
KIMBALL'S MAsTERFUL APPEAL.
When Mr.. Kimball had conclu-
ded a masterful appeal, Director
SaXton led a martial chorus that
seemed to speak the pride of fell
lowtownsmen; when Miss Lloyd
had finished, amid cheers, the
band struck up America" and
the cheering was redoubled.
There had been rounds of cheers
and hats were lifted when Miss
Lloyd had been escorted to the
stand, and another demonstration
when Mr.. LeBus appeared. He
was acclaimed as might be, hero,
and things that the speakers said
OF his integrity and leadership
could reasonably make any mans
heart as glad as he declared it to
be when he expressed his gratitude.
Mr.. LeBus gave a glimpse at
the situation when he said that if
Clark county gave the support she
did last year, the pool was on.
On behalf of the Winchester
Commercial Club, Judge j. NJ.
Benton extended a cordial well
come. He said that the occasion
was promoted and paid for by the
club as an evidence of it's interest
in an institution that had done so
much for the advancement of the
tobacco grower. He introduced
Hon. Claude NJ. Thomas, OF Paris,
as the next Senator from Bourbon
county.
Mr.. Thomas spoke of the mo-
mentous question of what the farm
ers of Kentucky were going to do
with their 1909 crop of tobacco;
question which he said was of
vastly greater Importance than the
issue in any Presidential election.
JUDGE O'REAR SOUNDS WARNING.
Judge Edward G. O'Rear, of
the Kentucky Court of Appeals,
was introduced by Mr.. N. B.
COckrell, who last year was an op-
ponent of the pool and this year
is one of its most enthusiastic sup
pOrters. The jurist was greeted
heartily by the great concourse
that had partaken of burgoo and
barbecued meats around table
big enough for fair track.
In beginning he discussed the

FINE and JAIL
Sentence Imposed On Attorneys
BY Judge Stout.

-
who practice at the Frankfort bar,
Luther G.. Willis and John Todd,
of Shelbyville, and L. F. johnson,
former Representative of Franklin
county, narrowly escaped spending
a night in the Franklin county Jail.
They were fined $50 and sentenced
to Jail for thirty hours for con-
tempt of court by Judge r. L.
Stout, but in the afternoon, after
other attorneys had inter vened in
their behalf, they withdrew the
Objectionable features of an affida-
Wit which had aroused the ire of
the court and were relieved of the
Jail sentences.
Judge Stout's wrath was aroused
by the fling of motion that he
vacate the bench in the trial of the
case of Mrs. Newton Hazelett
against Riley Harrod and others.
The motion to swear Judge Stout
off the bench was accompanied by
affidavits of the defendants that
they believed Judge Stout could
not give them a fair and impartial
trial because he had been heard to
say things indicating that he ia
vored the tobacco organization. 1t
was charged that he had said he
could not afford to decide anything
against the tobacco societies or
their members.
The case arose out of the killing
of Hazelett by Harrod during the
night rider raiding in Shelby county
a year ago. Harrod was pardoned
before trial, but the widow of the
dead man sued him for damages
for the killing of her husband. The
case was tried at Shelbyville, re-
.sulting in hung jury.
Although he declared the affida
Wits false, Judge Stout will vacate
the bench.
After reading the responses
Judge Stout said: Il want to say
that this affidavit does not contain
one iota of truth and not fact to
hang allegations upon, but because
of one allegation in it l am going
to vacate the bench in this case.
AS to the allegation as to my hav-
ing stated that / could not afford
) to decide anything against the
Burley Society of Franklin county
and that l had expressed an opin-
ion hostile to the interests of the
defendants when the case was tried
in Shelby county, will say / never
saw any one of the defendants or
atlantis in this case"
BECKHAM TOLD TO SIT DOWN.
Gov. Beckham arose and said:
May it please your honor, l don't
want to interrupt the court, but"
You sit down, Gov. Beckham,
while l am delivering my opinion
on this response" and Gov. Beck
ham sat down.
Continuing, Judge Stout said:
II am not going to hold these ig-
.nOrant men who signed the affida-
Wit responsible. They did not pre-
pare the affidavit, but their attor-
neys did, and l will now enter
fine of $50 and thirty hours in Jail
against Luther G. Willis, John
Todd and l.. f. Johnson for con-
tempt Of court in filing this affida-
VT, and unless the fine is paid
promptly it will have to be worked
out at hard labor in the Jail.

 After the tying Sunday afternoon Jones "the bull dogger," gave a suc- cessful exhibition in which he caught by the horns and threw a running steer; and Will Hileman and Nick Farrel gave strenuous ex. hibitions of riding bucking broncos.
 Following the ball game Monday afternoon there was a steer tying contest between Arizona and New Mexico, Page, Sorrels, McLane and Farrel representing Arizona and Farmer, Jones and the two Halls representing New Mexico, the test besng to catch and tie four steers. The Arizonans won by 164 sec- onds. After which w. A. McKein es- sayed to ride a bucker, but not having ridden in several years he was thrown after the animal got its second wind. Will Hileman then caught him and finished the job. Nick Farrel also rode "bronco." Jones the American Bull Dogger" wound up the show by throwing an. other steer.
 The audiences were satisfied we'll with the exhibition, and all felt that they had been given their moneys worth. Messrs. Wrenn < Lawson are to be congratulated up- on the success they scored.
 It is announced that there will be another great event at the same place on the sixteenth of Septem. Der.

Miss Margaret Belle has esta blished a new manicure and hair dressing parlor in the premises on Morley avenue be- tween the office of Cumming X Mcintyre and the barber shop of George Januel, nearly opposite the store of the Sonora News Company, into which she moved from the o. K. barber shop early in the week. The new place is fitted and fur nished nicely, and is so arranged that convenience and privacy are assured.

But for the timely assistance of two men who came to the ford at the critical moment Mir. Gross might hav9 lost his entire outfit, if not his own life.

The Fourth of July.

In compliance with the law the Noga- les Fire Department paraded the prin- cipal streets Monday morning, in ob- servance of the One Hundred and Forty third anniversary of American Indepen- dence; and for a time it looked as if that would be all that Nogales would do in the way of celebration. But, as the great day approached several patriotic citizens, headed by Messrs. J. B. Bristol and Harold Creighton inaugurated a movement for programme of sports that was framed and carried out sue cessfully, supplementing the parade with very attractive features, and resulting in a celebration that was interesting in the extreme, enjoyed by all spectators, of whom there were many, and entered into by the participants with zest that was inspiriting and enthusing. The committee solicited contributions from the various business houses of the city, which responded with donations of numerous articles that were offered as prizes in the different events.
 The festivities were inaugurated Mon- day morning by the Fire Department parade, under marshalship of Mir. Bracey Curtis, Chief of the Department. Papago Engine Company and Nogales Hose Company were in line, each with a full complement of men, all looking well in their neat costumes, and pre- senting very gallant appearance.
 After the parade was dismissed the sports were called, taking place in the park and on Morley avenue.
 The first event was a Tug-of-War, be- tween two teams designated respectively Cooley's teams and Kelly's team, the prize being barrel of bottled beer con tributed by Escalada Brothers. The event was close and exciting, both teams doing their level best, cheered and en- couraged by their respective adherents in the crowd of spectators. Victory and the beer went to Cooley's team.
 The second event was a one-hundred. yard foot race, the prizes in their order being pair of shoes contributed by the Boston store; shirt contributed by Dave Loeb, of La Popular; pair of sus- penders from Ramon Vasquez of the Red House. Harry Tomlin Jr. won the first prize, Juan Robles the second, and Gus Ashford the third.
