bare announcement of the death and
burial of Rev. George Ames. His
marked services in this community

las. few years Of his life and that of
his wife were spent with the family

HOLLAND LAW FAILS

The first sep in testing the Hol-
land Law, enacted last winter by
tho Legislature for the purpose CT
preventing the establishment of Lin
coin Institute in Shelby County, end
ed Saturday when Judge Miller, OF
the Circuit Court in Louisville hand
cd down an opinion declaring the
law unconstitutional.
Suit was brought by the Institute
to compel the Columbia Trust Co,
to turn over TO II certain funds col
lected by the Trust Company for the
use of the school. The Trust Com
pany refused to do this on the ground
that under the law the school could
not be founded. The Institute attack
ed the Cons ituionality of the law.
Judge Miller, in declaring the law
unconstitutional, takes occasion to
write very clear and forceful opin-
ion on the issues involved. He de-
clares that the law would delegate
to a power outside the legislature
certain powers which the Kentucky
Constitution expressly forbids the
Legislature to delegate. This alone he
says, would be enough 10 invalida,e

other weaknesses OF the law. II it

BALL GAME SATURDAY

Bad luck has followed the plans for
home athletics this spring, bur there
is still hope. At least one copy OF
the "greal American game" will be
seen here, and this is the week. The
game will be on Saturday afternoon,
at 800 p. m. between a team repre-
senting the Western Kensucky Safe
Normal, and a team of our own Nor
mai boys. It will be a great game,
as each side has some fine players
and pitchers. The Bowling Green team

egate this power, he says it would
only be as a police measure, and only
in case the action taken is reasonable
and just. He declares that in the case
at issue it is neither. Instead of be-
ing a police regulation, he says, It
is class legislation of the most rabid
character. In other words, Judge Mil
Ter believes the law contrary to pub
lie policy, TO the Constitution of Ken
lucky and to the Constitution OF the
United States. He adds that there
are other things that would invali-
date the law, but that II would be

May 10, 1910.
Dear friends in Berea:
We have shifted our camp since ]
wrote YOU last and we send you
greeting from our new home.
Il Is only an hours ride from Brigh-
ton TO London. bur we took three
days for the Journey. At Hastings,
we stopped 10 see the ba1lefield
where William the Conqueror won
the victory which made him king of
England and his followers the found
ers OF English Aristooracy. We listen
et. to the old guides Story of the
battle-how the Saxons came from
this direction. the Normans from that,
and how at night lweny thousand
men were lying dead in che wide field
below US. and how the remaining sol
diers waded over their shoetops in
blood
We ate our lunch amidst the ruins
Of the Abbey William built as an ex-
preston OF gratitude 60 God who had
given him the victory.
Then we went on the same after
noon 10 Canterbury, the landing place
OF another conqueror in whom we
were more in eres ed than in William.
This landing was made long before
Williams when the people Of this
country wero barbarous heather
dreaded by the civilized world. The
king OF one of the tribes had married
a girl from France named Der ,ha,
who was a Christian. King Ethelbert
allowed Bertha TO bring a Christian
priest with her. and he gave her the
use of a little church house that the
Roman soldiers had left hundred
years beore. She went to the little
church for worship and no doubt
prayed earnestly for the conversion
of her husband.
One day King Euhelbert heard that
a band OF strange men had landed
near his town, who wished to talk
with him about their religion. He

Christ AS they walked slowly to-
ward the king, they chanted pray

and the interview began.
The Language was range but an In
terpreter had come with the mission

and then gave his answer: Your

assent to them, and leave the GUS

Did you ever have a yellow jacket
sting you right in the middle of the
back where you could not ge. a, 1t?
Can't you imagine how 1t would just
feel, anyway? Well, that is the way
the Congressman are feeling about
the way Congress is hanging on.
There is not a Republican in Con-
gress who can put his hand on his
heart and say that he is not worried
about his reelection. The Stand-pat-
ters are after the seas of the Insur-
gents, and the Insurgents are hard on
the trail OF the Stand-pa .ers. If Ghere
ere a few districts where the Insur-
gents fight has not got to going good
yet-like the Eleventh Kentucky for
instance, whence comes our old friend
Don Edwards-then there is opposi-
ton of a personal nature. You all
know about Mr.. Edwards, and there
are others in the same box. So, tho
q lot of the old men will doub. less
win out and come back, they are be-
ing badly stung by conditions at
home, Just now.
Every man is Itching to get home.
If he were only ON the ground he
could begin on those broken fences,
and at least find out where he stands.
But he can't. Congress is a long way
from being thru yet, and altho each
Congressman wants to call it off and
go home, yet the whole lot are keep
ing each other here, for the good of
The parry. They can't reach the
sting
Also, Mr.. Taft is acting more like
leader than he used to. He has
/ learned the fact tina Aldrich has los.
| control, and sc he has begun on new
tactics. He has determined thai
the party shall redeem its pledges,
and he is going TO hold Congress here
till that is done, if it takes all sum-
mer. If there is any one hing that
a lot of Congressman do not want
to do, IL is 10 keep those pledges,
but things look now as if they had
go, 1t to do.
The railroad bill is one bitter dose.
AS we said last week the and-pat
Senators were against the amend
ments thas the Insurgents pui in o
the bill. but they, will not really dare
vote against the bill on final pass
age. And Taft will not let them 60
home till that bill has been vo ed
on. 1t will so thru, all right, tho
the Conference Committee will take
all the ginger out If II can. The
Stand-patters have given up their
last hope of blocking that bill. There
are three paragraphs which he Demo,
cra,s objected TO as on invasion Of
state rights, and the Stand-patters
tried to make deal with the Demo-
Gratis to defeat either the whole bill,
or the most important parts of it.
With unexpected good sense the
Democrats refused the bait, and the
Sand-patters were nearly blown ou-
of the water by their own plot.
There are a number of other bills
which Taft is going TO force to a
vote IL he can and the Sand-patters
are greatly worried by these. Things
have come to such a pass that a
majority of the Senate can decide
what II wants 10 do, and this is hor-

l. COW TO
PUT u FLAME

Dallas. S. D.-A cow has been
known to start a first by kicking ov-
,er a lantern, but this is the story of
a COW that came to the rescue when
flames broke out and gave milk that
quenched the blaze.
The fact that the COW was fresh"
and the quick wit of 16-year-old Fred
Bentz. Of Fairfax, S. D., proved a
combination too strong for the in
cipient blaze, and the day was saved.
So was the wagon and a lot of VAL
liable articles it contained.
Bentz was driving a wagon well
loaded with goods. A mattress
caught fire. and things looked ser,
ious. Then Bentz stopped the team,
got out and told the bessie COW,
which was tied to the rear end OF,
the wagon to "histe." Bessie listed.
and Fred began milking. When he
had q paiful Of milk he tossed 1t on
the fire and the flames died down.
There was no farmhouse in sight and
no water available. 90 the milking
schSme was the only possible one to
meet the emergency.

TON is THROUGH.

"wednesday afternoon the first an
enuafsc0nventi0n of the Buttermak-
ers' and Creamerymens' Association
came to an end, after what is con-
sidered9 by many of the members as
one of the best eve held by the as
ISOLATION, and they were loud in the
praise Of the manner in which they
had been treated by the Mitchell
people.
The afternoon session was an ex-
ceptionally good one, from the splen-
did class of speakers that were on
the platform and who gave fine
speeches on subjects that p~ertained
to the betterment of the dairy in
iterests.
One Of the first to be given was
that of Prof. @. Larson. of Brook
!ings who talked on Winter Dairy
ing" He wanted to impress the
dairymen that they were losing
mighty good money in not keeping
up their dairy business throughout
the winter season, which, he declar-
ed, was the most profitable of the
year. In the winter time the
Screameries run with about 20 per
cent of the business. of the summer
season.
Last year said Prof. Larson,
nsthe creameries produced about 49,
Quo, 900 pounds of butter, about
st~hree-fourths of which was during
the summer season and the other
fourth in the winter time. The high
est prices prevail during the winter.
and III the volume of business could
be reversed, seasonably, we could
have at least 100000 worth of
business added to what we now have,
and that without increasing the num-
Der of cows or the product. Labor is
cheaper during the winter season.
Ne have about $4,000 dairy farm
ers In the state, and the approximate
ratio in which help is employed is
one In winter to three in the sum-
mer. At the end of the summer sea-
son the help is usually turned OF,
which means 10000 men are turned
from q field OF producers to one of
inOn-producers and creates a consum-
Ing class without much of an income

CATION DISCLOSES A GOOD
SITUATION.

Thirteen years ago the CONNER

'ganized In this city, and at the an
.nual meeting just held a very fine
condition of business is disclosed
Through the report Of Secretary Wall
rath, who has been the managingI
head OF the institution for a number
of years, anu through his c%onserva-
tive judgment the company has at
tanned q solid and lasting place in
the insurance world Of the state.
The following board of directors
was elected at the annual meeting:

dent, s. H. Scallin, vice president, RI

During the past year the business
OF the company. has increased to al
very satisfactory extent. In the year,
closing the company has eliminated
taking risks on farm property. and
lt6 business 1S now confined solely tO1
business property and city residenc-,
es. 100000 being the figures at
which the secretary placed the sum
during the past year. The company
has on its books 1t the close Of the
year $1.012 900 Of insurance.
The year OF 1910 has been the
heaviest in the way Of losses the
company has experience since it
was organized, but. the secretary
states that every dollar of loss has
been paid up and there is no loss in
course Of adjustment. All losses
were adjusted without the least
trouble. The losses for the year
amounted to. $1,000.
The Commercial Mutual is one Of
the good business institutions Of this
city and It does its share toward adj
vertising the city and bringing credit
to 1t. Under the present manage
ment the company has grown con-
sistently and in such a way as to
place it on a firm and substantial
basis, and which brings the conf
dence Of the people to know that
the policies will be paid on a just and
honest basis.
