The Hook Worm.

To the Editor of the Adair County:
News: Prof. Dudley, who is teaching
the Mt. Zion school in the district near
Crocus, has set ap example that all
the other teachers in the county would
do well to follow When would call
on his school to talk sanitation to the
children he would always seem deeply
interested in all the subjects talked
about. The State Board of Health
has sent out Bulletins on the subject
of the diseases which are becoming in
Kentucky, so common, and Prof. Dud-
ley has been studying these bulletins
and especially the one on the hook
worm disease, until he has undertaken
to rid his school of these pests. He
called the patrons and parents of the
school together, and laid the case be-
fore them, telling Them about the
He got them interested in the matter,
and at once proposed to second any eff
fort that he might make to help the
sanitary condition of the children.
The Prof. gathered 20 or 30 specimens
rom that many suspected children and
sent them to the state bacteriologist,
and had them analysed, and six of
them were found to be effected with
hookworm, and several others were
found to be effected with other kinds
of worms, one tape worm. Now
these children can all be restored to
health, and instead of being dull child
rem as they have been accused of be-
ing, they will be as bright as any in
school, Now this is a noble work Of
Prof, Dudley, and one that ought to
be followed by other teachers in the
county, and all the counties round
about. l hope it will be done.
Respectfully Yonrs, I'LL. Taylor.
Health Officer.

What Advertising Cost.

For the benefit of those who some
time complain that advertising cost
too much, we give for the benefit of
our patrons the follwing figures.
a single page in a single issue of
the Century magazine taken for adj
vertising purposes costs $500, in
Harper's 400: in other prominent
magazines from $3.50 down to 800. A
yearly advertisement of one column in
the Chicago Tribune costs S26, 1000: in
the New York Tribune 500, 900 for the
lowest rates and SS5, 900 for the highest
rates: in the New York Herald the
cost for the lowest rates is S3S, 2O3 and
$3.50, 900 for thshighest priced column.
Yet one can see that these papers are
always full of advertising matter, even
at these enormous prices. Won't this
make the man feel funny who pays
SO year for advertising and struts
about town posing as liberal adver-
tiSer.

Gov. ". s. Taylor Married

People by the score looked over the
register at the Hancock Hotel last
Sunday. The most CONSPICUOUS names
were those of W. S. Taylor and wife,

than the Republican candidate for
Governor of Kentucky eleven years
ago, and who was declared elected, but
who was ousted in a contest instituted
by VIM. Gobel.
Gov, Taylor reached Columbia last
Friday night and Saturday morning
he left for Russell county, and on Sun
day he was married to Mrs. Nora N.Y.
ers, whose maiden name was Lawless,
returning to Columbia in the after
noon.
This marriage is the fourth venture
for Mrs. Taylor. She was first mar

several years thereafter they were re.
married and again separated. Later
she went to Greenwood, Ind, where
she met and married a man named
Myers, whoa few years later, was shot
and killed by his brother-in-law. II
was in Greenwood where it is supposed
that Gov. Taylor first met Mrs. Myers.
The couple left here Monday in an
automobile, and it is the understand

While here several gentlemen. who

IN Memorium.

There is something peculiarly sad in
the death of a child. How many
thousands have been moved to tears
when reading Dickens pathetic ac-
count of the death of little Nell.
For the information of friends and
as some little solace to the bereaved
parents, l want to write briefly of a
child whose young life went out when
scarce begun.
Louise Falkenburg Phelps, oldest
daughter of Loren o. and Ellie Phelps,
was born March IL, 1904, and died
October %, 1912, at the age of eight
years, seven months and eleven days.
The child had been sick for some
days with tonsilitis, but when her IA
ther was at home from his school on
Sunday, her condition was not so
alarming as to prevent his return to
school,
On Tuesday she was mulch worse.
Pneumonia had developed, and her
father hurried home in response to a
telephone message, reaching her bed.
side only in time to hear her say:
"Father, don't cry, [ will soon be
WE'LL" A few minutes later she Wits
pered, Mother, / can't. talk to you
any more" and her young life went
out.
Louise was a bright, sweet child,
and general favorite. At,the home
that afternoon and at the funeral SER
vice next day strong men, unused to
tears, wept for the loss of their little
friend. The services were conducted
by Brother Tarter, OF the Methodist
church.
In school Louise was well along in
theaourth grade. She waS-an excep-
tional good reader. Watching her IA
ther in his studies of English Liter
allure, she was able to name many of
the leading authors and the time in
which they lived and wrote.
Such loss seems irreparable. 1t
may have been best, but it is hard for
anysort of philosophy or any kind of
faith to reconcile those whose whose
home seems so different now. Some
time, perhaps, Well understand.

Eloped to Tennessee.

A telephone message Sunday night
from Mr.. w. r. Lyon, Campbellsville,
to Mr.. r. F. PAUL, this place, stated
that it was generally believed at the
former town where Miss Ruth PAUL,
daughter of Mrs. Lena Paun, this city,
was visiting, that the young lady and
Mr.. Sam Burdette, young trader of
Marion county, who frequently visits
Columbia, had eloped to Tennessee, as
they had left Campbellsville in bug
gy together and the information Mr.
Lyon received after their departure,
warranted him in the opinion that the
couple had left for the purpose of get
ting married.
Doubtless, that by the time this pa
per reaches our readers they will have
been to gretna green and returned and
received forgiveness.
The bride is quite young-in her
sixteenth year, and was in school at
this place. She is the oldest daughter
of Mrs, Lena PAUL, and was quite
popular with all her Columbia aSSo-
ciates. Her marriage was great sur
prise, but her numerous friends trust
that the event will bring to her much
happiness, and that her early marriage
will prove blessing to all concerned.

long and useful career last Wednes.

Memphis, April 1S.-The break in the

ferers in Arkansas, Louisiana and

Angola, on the east bank of the Mis-
sissippi river broke today. Two thous-
and acres of planted cane will be
wiped out.
The plight of thousands Of home
less persons in the flood district IS
pitiable. Hundreds are marooned in
isolated places. Many have been with
out food for days and scores are suf-
fering from want of clothing. Officials
of the national government have COM
b1ned forces with the state officials to
carry relief. The need of motor boats
and skiffs for rescue work is extreme.
The water is rising rapidly at Tallu-

place. Railroads are all out of COM

San Francisco, April 1s.-Eight
members of the crew of the submarine
Carp drank champagne on the bot
tom of the ocean yesterday and then
won a toss with death.
A cable caught in a haWse pipe and
imprisoned them for one hour and a
half at depth of 200 feet, farther

hope of freeing the boat except by US
ing the compressed air to force out the
water in the submerging tanks to give
the boat sufficient buoyancy to tear it
loose. Then if the cables still held the
men would suffocate.
The compressed air was shot into the
tanks. The big steel tube rocked and
grOaned for an instant and then was
still again. Lieutenant S. B. Smith, in
command, ordered the men to run
back and forth in the hope of starting
vibra tions that would release the boat.
Suddenly the men were thrown on
their backs and the pressure gauge
fell The crew of a barge over head
the air and then the submarine righted
itself on the surface. The men were
bruised but not seriously injured.
The submarine was drawn under the
water by a cable attached to a lotion
weight at the bottom of the bay, in a
special government test to determine
the pressure resisting power of the
boat at great depth. The cable was
cut but it was then that the imprison-
ed men realized the other cable had
