A BRIGHT LAD
LOSES HIS LIFE
ELLIS EAKER, OF STR. CLYDE
DROWNED YESTERDAY.

When the Paducah and Tennes-
see River Packet company steamer
Clyde arrived here last midnight
from Waterloo. Ala, she was flying
her. flag at half mast. Her crew
brought the sad news of the drown
ing OF Ellis Eaker. IL years old. her
roof watchman, Saturday evening at
Robertson's barn. opposite the Shi-
loh National cemetery. The body
was recovered yesterday and was
buried today in the Shiloh cemetery.
Young Eaker's home was at Dan
Vile, Ky. Three years and eight
months ago Eaker. who was mere
boy. went to Captain A. w. Wright.
when the boat landed at Danville.
and asked to go out with him. Cap
tain Wright told the lad he had
nothing for him to do. but when
the boat was ready to depart Cap
tain Wright decided to take the boy
on. and Ellis was placed in the
kitchen TO help wash dishes. He re-
mained there for six months and
afterwards was transferred to the
engine room as a "geaser." After
remaining there a short time he was
placed on the roof. as watchman.
and held that place when he met
his death Saturday.
Eaker was in swimming. and
going too far into the river he lost
his footing and drowned before as
sistance from the crew could reach
him. The body was recovered two
days later.
Captain Wright. who took a deep
interest in the lad. is grieyed as
much as a father He had practically
educated the boy. having procured
lower grade studies for him to read
on the boat, when not busy. Eaker
had Just finished his arithmetic and
had he had the proper education
Captain Wright believes he would
have made his mark. When the
Clyde lay at Paducah receiving
freight Eaker did not come of the
boat and mingle with others, but
remained aboard and read to keep
up his studies. lie obtained good
books from the Carnegie public
library here and all of his spare
time was occupied in reading.
The mother of young Eaker has
not been located by Captain Wright,
although he has been trying to find
her several days.

A McCracken county 'truckgrower
made 5000 on an acre OF strawber-
rles-and IL wasp't a good year for
Strawberries either, says the Courier
Jounal.
To be sure he didn't put out the
strawberry plants and leave them to
grow as they listed while he was
whiting pine sticks and chewing
"long green" at the corner grocery.
In fact he didn't spend a good deal
Of time at the corner grocery and he
didn't take many afternoons of to
go fishing. He doesn't believe that II
Is absolutely necessary for him to be
at the grocery az many as five days
out of every seven to discuss the po-
litical situation. He realizes that the
government at Washington still
lives. and that the state administra-
tion at Frankfort is fairly busy. lie
pays his share of taxes to help run
the political machinery and he votes
when the election comes around
and that let's him out. The rest OF
the time he keeps pretty close o the
strawberry patch.
There are always plenty of men at
the corner grocery or the cross roads
store. and any or all of them can
tell how the government ought TO be
run. but some of them wouldn't
know a strawberry IL they met 1t in

VISITOR To CITY

Princeton Man Was Found Dyini
After q Carouse.

Louisville. June 2S.-The body oi
J. w. Daller, n tobacco man oi
Princeton. Ky. who came to Louis
vile last week to attend to business
was taken back to his home Sunday
afternoon.
A carouse of few days with
companions whom he picked up in
saloons near the tobacco breaks,
and an ignominious death at the
city hospital. where he was taken
Saturday evening. were the result
of Daller's brief stay in the city.
Now the police and the coroner are
trying to determine whether his
death was due to natural causes or
whether il was fastened by rough
treatment and assault.
Daller was found unconscious in
the room of Dora Hicks. at 1910

phone message had been sent the
police to the effect that a man was
dying there. Daller was found In

Beveridge ON Monopoly.

Senator Beveridge. discussing q
certain monopoly, said with a smile:
This company reminds me of the
old man in the train who said to
his neighbor:
" Would you mind lending me
your specs, sir?'
Why, certainly the neighbor
and he took of his spec
tacles and surrendered them with a
gesture.
And now said the old man,
since you can no longer see to read
your newspaper, I'm sure you'll be
willing to let me run my eyes over
the sporting pages, Minneapolis

KEEPING CLOSE TO THE PATH


TO what they are doing this year.
Its the fellow who sticks 10 the
strawberry patch and who DOESN'T
feel that he Is needed TO carry on
conversation at the grocery who can
supply the concrete evidences of cur
rent activity-item, 5000 cleaned up
on an acre of strawberries.
Almost anybody who knows any
thing about truck farming can raise
an acre of strawberries OF an acre or
a few acres of something else. It's
mainly a question of letting the po-
litieal situation alone and watching
the patch. II is not necessary to go
from Kentucky to California to
gather in large profits from growing
of fruit or vegetables. We cannot
raise oranges in Kentucky, II is true.
but we can raise lot of other things
that are always in demand II the
quality is good-and II Is a short
sighted farmer or horticulturist who
fails 10 strive for quality rather than
quantity.
What Kentucky needs Is more farm
ers of the practical sort and fewer
Theoretical agriculturalists and po-
litical economists of the corner gro
Gerry variety. There is money in
farming. but 1t isn't lying around
loose in the fence corners or the
hedge rows. II is in the soil and Il
takes digging to get Il. Those who
are finding II are men like the Nc
Cracken county truckgrower. They
are sticking close to the patch.

BY STEARNS CAR
New Mark for 1000 Miles at
Brighton Beach.
MATHESON RACER IS SECOND

Brighton Beach. n. Y. Aug. 2O.r-Jack
Rutherfourd's $3.50 horsepower four-cyl-
inder stearns. driven by Cyrus Patchke
and Alfred J. Poole, won the twenty-f6ur
hour race that ended at the Brighton
Beach motordom tonight with a score Of
1.2aS miles. This was ffty-seven miles
more than the old twenty-four hour COM
petition record, made on october Is and
Is last year by a LoZier car. driven by
Ralph w. Milford and Cyrus Patchke.
Both the races were run by the Motor
Racing Association. The winning car was
fitted With continental tires and demount-
able rims.
The Matheson Automobile Company s
60-horsepower six-sylinder Matheson, driv-
en- by Charles L. Basic and Cornelius p.
Whalen, was second. with LIS miles;
Harry S. Houpts 6O-horsepower four-cyl-
inder Houpt- Rockwell. driven by Stanley
Martin and Harry Hartman. was third,
with s64 miles; the Cole-Stratton Com
pany's SO-horsepower four-cylinder Cole,
driven by William Endicott and Louis
Edmunds. was fourth, with 905 miles.
These were the only cars running when
the race ended, at $50 O'Clock. The
score board showed that J. NJ. Boyle's
Midland. driven by Lee Anderson and
Joseph Taylor, was fifth, with 655 miles;
Charles z. Reiss' Marion driven by Wal
lace H. owen and Marcel II. Basl, was
sixth. with 425 miles. and w c. Aliens
Kingston. driven by Noel Trekes
and Harry CODE, was seventh. with 2S2
miles.
In addition to making a new record
for the first hour and lettering the hour
scores from the eleventh hour on, the
Stearns also made a new record for 1000
miles Mr. Rutherford's car completed
1000 miles in l9O6:4s2-5, which was one
hour two minutes. ana fifty-six and
three-firths seconds better than the
record.
The record-breaking feat Of Patschke
and Poole. with the Stearns. was made
easier by the vast improvement that had
been made in the track surface and the
scarcity Of other cars on the ira * in the
last half Of the race.
