For the Protection of pixies

A movement has been launch.
ed at Lexington to get all wag-
ons to use wide tires for the pro-
lection of the pixies in the coun-
ty. The proposition is to get the
various city Councils of neigh
boring cities TO pass an ordinance
requiring all wagons entering
these cities to have wide tires.
With this as a city law all wag-
ons of the county will be COM
PEELED to use wide tires as at
scme time in the life of the way
on, and most generally very Of
ten, the wagon will have to go to
town for something and will have
to have then the wide tires. This
state of affairs would soon com
pei al! wagons in the country to
have broad tires.

that officers and men of militia
organizations which participated
in defense of the Union during
the Civil War for ninety days or
more, and their widows and or
phans shall come within the pro-
,visions of the recently enacted

Three ParOIed from Powell.

Grover West and John West,
brothers, who were sent to the
penitentiary from this county
several years ago, have been re-
leased on parole. The charge "a
uainst them was the killing of
George Spencer who was said to
have been operating an illicit
still at that time and it was over
this that the quarrel came up.
Charles Frazier, also, from this
county was released having serv-
ed two and one half years of a
five year term for manslaughter.

Splendid Showing.

The financial condition of
Clark county was published in
the Winchester Democrat Tues
day. The report shows CLARK
county to be in the best financial
condition of, possibly, any cOun-
ty IN the State, there being on
April Bird $1O6, O46.65 to the cred
it of the county in bank. The
truth of it is, Clark county has
the best Judge in the State, with
the single exception of Powell
county, and this largely accounts
for the splendie condition OF our
sister county.

One Cause for High Cost of Living.

The increased price of corn
and the consequent increased
cost of beef, poultry and eggs is
due to the increased use of corn
In the manufacture of distilled
and fermented liquors, as well as
in the manufacture of breakfast
foods. according to members of
the Produce Exchange of New
York. Sixty per cent. of the
3, 700, 900, 600 bushels of corn pro-
duced in this country last year
is being used by the brewing and
distilling establishments, they
point out.
"More corn is being used today
in the manufacture of distilled
and fermented liquors than the
entire national corn crop of TWEEN
ty years ago. said member of
a Produce Exchange firm. sit
is no wonder, considering the
new uses which have been dis
covered for corn in the last %
years, that the price of cash
corn a bushel has risen from so
cents to IS cents in that period.
When we complain about the
increased cost of beef, poultry and
other corn-fed products, we forget
that there are $4,000, 600 people
drinking liquors distilled or fer
mented from corn every day.

Est,Ii Springs Will Not Open.

The famous old Estill Springs
at Irvine will not open for guests
this year. This famous summer
resort has been open to the pub
lie from the time when the men,
DRY of old citizens runneth not
to the contrary, and now to be
closed when the prospects in 9TH
er ways for the town of Irvine
seems so bright, hardly looks
like the proper thing to do.

The other day We saw a trav.
cling man %ho had just arrived
from Irvine And being a native
of the deaASold free county of
Estill and an admirer of that
good old toHn of Irvine, we in.
quired hOwkthe capital of our
native heath was getting along.
The travelerfin disgust looked up
at us and said:
''Irvine? IHRine's going to get
new rsilroad,
Irvine's going to get the car
shops too,
Irvine's hard town in which to
board
For they Won't now hardly
speak TO you.
"Irvine will soon be as big as
Cincinnati, oyer there they say,
but TO drummer not from the
Queen city, Il doesn't look that
way"
We can account for the I'M
pleasant mode of the salesman
but in one way, he must have
failed to sell;any goods to the
Irvine merchants and come
round by Besttyville.
Moral-Drummers are great
advertisers fot towns and now
that there isan era of boom
days for the spry old town of Es-
till, the Twins merchants should
buy goods from all the drummers
that "pitch 2eir tents" in their
limits if for Nc other purpose
than the ADVERTISING value it
brings to their town of today,
but city of tomorrow.

Our roads are driel up now.
hut my, the grade. The mud in
drying up has been pulled out of
the holes and thus they remain,
like so many basins in the road.
The buggy in passing over them
must be driven slowly over such
places or the occupants are like
~ to have to walk in. 1t may be
a busy season, though it is not so
pressing now as it was before
crops were planted. 1t should
be remembered that one days
work now will be of benefit the
whole season through, thus one
days work now is worth two
days work later. Scientific road
men claim that all work on dirt
roads should he done by July
1st, as stirring the earth later
makes the roads great deal
softer and more spOngy than
when worked before July first.
If you have a spare day put it in
we'll on the road where it needs
it worst and ask your Overseer to
give YOU credit for it.

Americans Able to Control America.

When Taft had just been in
augurated president he wrote the
following to Roosevelt: 81 can
never forget the power / now ex.
ercise which was voluntarily
transferred from you to me and
that l am under obligations to
yon to see that your judgment in
selecting me as your successor
and bringing about the succession
shall be indicated" So it APP
pears that Roosevelt was really a
king maker and that the people
are not considered as having had
anything to do with it. 1t is time
that both the king and the king
maker are given to understand
that Americans are able to con-
troll Americans without the aid of
either of them.-Exchange.

ual who unites himself with a Chris

to associate himself with the forces
that stand for the moral uplift OF
every man, woman and child I'm the

No man has a right to disregard the
moral law. II is the duty OF every
man who enjoys the freedom, protec-
ton and advantages Of our govern

even II lac does not he violates our

"a Wait of the SEA- seaside, fisher
folk story, with frst-elass heart interest.
The waif of the sea is little lad, who
certainly wins the affections of the spec.
ltators. In the early scenes he is cast
up by the sea, near the fishing village, II
very little but sunny lad, and is adopted
by fatherly old salt. When the lad
lis about seven, his father is drowned and
he is left to his own resources. He be-
gins to search for his own mother, of
whom he has been told. He slows away
on his fathers ship. The rough but
hearty sailors of this vesesl are nne, and
the little incident on deck while the boy
lis saying the Lords prayer is excel
lently conceived and made. There is a
homely, wholesome, old-fashioned atmos-
phere of truth and humanity about the
picture that will make it popular.
