Hon. Z en- Johnson.

The most prominent candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for Governor of Kentucky now
being mentioned is Hon. Ben
Johnson, of Nelson county. Mr..
Johnson is now serving his third
or fourth term in Congress and
is recognized as one of the leading
Democrats in the House. He is
a man of high character, and has
had wonderful successful ca
reer in public life. He has served
his people faithfully in many po-
sitions-as Speaker of the Ken
lucky House of Representatives,
as State Senator, as Collector of
Internal Revenue, of the Louis
vile district, as Secretay of the
Campaign Committee and as
mentioned above, as Congress-
man. AS an organizer and a
campaign manager he is not eX-
celled by any one. He is being
attacked as a whisky man, but
the fact remains that he never
tasted Intoxicating liquor in his
life, and there is not enough
money in the world to get him
to take drink. He is one of
the largest landowners in Mel
son county, one of the most sue
cessful farmers in the State, and
surly these things ought to be
considered by those Democrats
looking for winner. We want
it distinctly understood that we
are not advocating Mr.. Johnson's
claims to the nomination, but we
do think the people are entitled
to know the truth about this able
man and faithful Democrat Car
Isle Mercury.

Money in Poultry.

Did you ever stop to consider
the vast amount of money repre-
sented by fancy poultry through
out the United States? For in
stance take the Chicago show
with 1920 birds, the Missouri
State show with 5,281 birds, and
the Oklahoma State show With
5000 birds, all held at about the
same time. Place an estimate
on their value, which it is the
safe to say would be at least
$4,000 per head, or the vast sum
of $233, $4,000. Then think of
the number of birds which these
breeders have in their yards at
home and the value that they
represent. and then think of the
thousands and thousand of breed
ers that did not exhibit at either
of these three shows and the
value of the birds owned by
them. Do this and then let any
one tell you there is no money in
fancy poultry. Well, we will be
surprised al you if you do.

Clean Your Premises.
To the people of Adair County:

To the people Of Adair County:
The time has come now, when we
ought to look after the conditions of
our premises. and see that everything
is in good sanitary condition. Look in
to the condition of the cellars, the
privies and everything that is in an un-
clean condition 1t is a great deal cas-
Ter to prevent disease, than it is to cure
it when it comes. want especially the
doctors to notify me of any contagious
or epidemic disease that they may find
in the bounds of their practice. While
l am at all times ready to obey any
calls that | may receive from the doc
tor, | cannot know, unless l am no.
titled. | am not a mind reader, and
never have prOfessed to be. And it is
the duty of not only the doctors, but
the duty Of the head of families to give
me information along these lines.
have been trying to fumigate every
house where a consumptive has died,
but frequently notice in the County
paper is the first intimation that have
of the death of a cosumptive. The
physicians ought to be more particular
about these important things. l want
information about all these diseases,
whether the cases have died or recov-
cred.
Consumption, typhoid fever, dlpthe-
ria, scarlet fever, whooping cough, mea-
sles, and cholera infantum. did a great
deal of work along these lines last year,
but l want to do more this year, if the
epidemics require it. Let every body
be ready to fight the pestiferous fly
when it makes its appearance. All tbe
houses ought to be screened, and es-
pecially where any body in sick. A
hint to the wise ought to be sufficient.

The Point Of View.

William had just returned
from college, resplendent in peg
top trousers, silk hosiery, a fan
cy waistcoat, and a necktic that
spoke for itself. He entered the
library where his father was
reading. The old gentleman
locked up and surveyed his son.
The longer he looked, the more
Disguised he became.
'Son," he finally blurted out,
you look like a d fool"
Later, the old major who lived
next door came in and greeted
the boy heatily. William" he
said, with undisguised admira-
ton, you look exactly like your
father did twenty years ago
when he came back from school!'
YES" replied William, with
a smile, so father was just
telling me. "-Everybody's.

Mayor Clarence E. Woods, of
Richmond, is urging the editors
and many prominent people in
Kentucky to use there inufence
to secure the passage of a non
partisan uniform account law,
and providing for state inspect
ors. The law would apply to
all state, city and county officers,
and would be the means of saw
ing thousands of dollars of the
public funds. The people need
to know more of the doings of
their public servants and this
law should pass without a dis
senting voice. The state should
provide for inspectors and also
have accounts of all public officials
published that the people might
know what becomes of their

Good Old Days.

How would you like to return
to the Good Old Days before the
bill collector was turned loose
upon an unprotected public.
Before people knew that they
had concealed within their anato-
mics that dreadful and worthless
piece of machinery known as the
vermiform appendix?
When every doctor had his
saddle bags" with him, and no
matter what the trouble was he
gave you calomel and quinine,
and it always cured you?
Before we were notified on
every hand that countless thou
sands of death-dealing microbes
lurked in everything from loves
first honeyed kiss to skillet of
fried onions?
Before it became stylish to
sleep away the long winter nights
on a hard, thin mattress between
two cold sheets?
When eggs were so cheap that
your wife didn't hoard them up
and rush them off to market,
without leaving even enough for
an occasional eggnog?
When boys wore red-topped
brasstoed boots, and girls dress
ed in plain dresses and wore their
hair plated down their backs
without a suggestion of spit
eurls, rats and psyche knots?

For the Home Seamstress.

Buttons and button holes are
the best fastenings for childrens
clothes, and all tub garments, as
hooks and eyes, besides pulling
off sooner, will flatten in the
ironing, and may make rust
stains on the material. Button
holes must be cut straight with
the thread of the cloth, and but
tonhole twist or coarse thread
must be used. Working with
double thread is not to be COM
mended.
For the children's play dresses
or rompers, the closing at the
back should be made placket
fashion, as this is not likely to
tear out. Sew a straight strip
of material about an inch and a
quarter wide, and the length of
the opening, to the wrong side of
the dress at the line of closing.
turn over on itself, turn in the
edge and stitch. Fold this strip
back and make buttonhole
through the strip and the materi-
al of the dress at the neck, plac-
ing another at about yoke depth
as well.
Where lace edging is applied
to berthas or ruffies, it should be
put on by hand, whipping it on
to folded edge that is hemmed;
in some cases the edge is rolled,
an inch or two at time, and the
lace then whipped on. When the
lace is to be slightly gathered,
the thread which is to be found
at the top of lace may be used as
a gathering string and pulled as
desired. The lace is held to the
right side of the material, the
edge of the material rolled on the
wrong side, and then both of
them whipped together with fine
thread and stitches.
Feather-stitched seam cover
ing is particularly useful for
children's clothes, as it can be
bought in various grades and
may be used on all cotton mater
ials.
If a skirt is straight, several
tucks should be allowed, one or
two inches wide, near the lower
edge. These tucks are econo-
mical, as well as pretty, as they
may be let down to lengthen the
skirt.
