Dear Doctor
According to section % of the law,
l am to make an annual certifcation to
county treasurers, and the persons des-
ignatei in the law will receive their
compensation from that source. This
can not be done, of course, till the
years work is completed. So many
registrars are late in sending in reports
that 1t delays US in working the certifi-
Gates each month. The years report is
now on our books and our entire office
force is at work preparing accounts.
When l tell you we keep open ac-
counts with more than twelve hundred
registrars and twice that number of
doctors and midwiyes, l am sure you
will realize what stupendous task it
will be to certify to all these. l trust,
therefore, you will bear patiently with
US while this work is being done. l
shall thank you to see that this infor-
nation reaches the registrars and doc
tors of your county, and appreciate
your writing me.
w. L. Henzer,
State Registrar.

Last Thursday Rev. Wash Order,

converted under his ministry. He left
many relatives in Russell and Adair
counties. His funeral was largely at

The ground hog a1age is a thing Of
the past. The story is that his hog
ship comes out on the I'd of February
and if he sees his shadow, he goes back
in his den for six weeks. The sun was
out several different times on the I'd,
and of course the ground hog came out,
and doubtless made a shadow Last
week Elmo Willis caught him in his
trap, and he is now gone forever. and
the adage will now cease to be related.

The Bail Games.

There have been two basketball
/ games at Lindsey recently with very
different results, one with Monticello
Saturday night Feb. 18th. and one with
Campbelsville last SIT. night Feb 9th.
In the first Lindsey was defeated by
q score of % to 10, in the second she
won by a score of 81 TO +. These figures
tell the story either of wonderful i'm
provement in one short week in Lind
sey's team or of a vast difference in
the enemy AS matter of fact both
these conditions exist. We believe
without doubt that Lindsey's team
could now take some of the audacity
out of Monticello, if they had chance.
The game Saturday week was one of
the incest and cleanest ever played in
Lindsey's gymnasium from the stand
point of good feeling and good order.
The enemy were treated with the high
est courtesy. as was due them, and were
cordially cheered both at the beginning
and the end. The referee and
umpire both gave them full square
deal "Monticello's balr' is now
slang expression and byword on the
hill Monticello has an excellent team
and they deserve to be highly compli-
mented for their unusually swift play
ing and good team work. OfLindsey's
team Lawrence Sullivan was the star
forward of the evening, making all the
scores that were made, two firld goals
and six foul goals, Elias Dunbar also
did some fine playing as center, Hud-
dleston, Hodges, and Diddle as guards.
The line up was as follows:
E. Dunbar, Center
l.. Sullivan Right forward
Hudson & Huddleston Left forwards
Will DiddIe Right Guard
Weldon & Hodges Left Guards
The game last Saturday night was al
so characterized by the best of order
and good feeling. The Campbellsville
team was not quite as good as the
Monticello team, but with Prof Romie
Judd and Prof. Will Young on it, as
center and forward respectively, it
was not to be altogether despised.
The Professors received quite a good
deal of pleasant banter from their home
chums and friends. Lindsey's team
showed wonderful development over
the preceding Saturday night From
Monticello they had learned the value
of good team work, and had been prac-
ticing to that end during the week.
Ben Rowe was the star forward in this
game, throwing 10 field goals. Law
renee was close second, making II
field goals and foul goals. The line
up was as follows:

A YEAR TO
GET TO DAKOTA

Hamilton Independent: Mrs Philip
Stout and four small children arrived
from Russia to join the husband and
father whom they had not seen in four
years, and the family is now nicely
domiciled in the Allen house which
Mr.. Stout has rented. There is quite
a story connected with Mrs. Stout's
long journey, She was on the road for
a year and a day, and the troubles and
hardships she endured during these
long months must have been most dis
~couraging. A year ago she gave an
agent in Russia for a steamship line
$3.50 for her passage yer. The agent,
however, merely procured tickets for
Rotterdam, Germany, and pocketed the
difference. Here Mrs. Stout and her
children were forced to remain for ten
months for lack of funds. The gentle
man for whom Mr.. Stout works got
into communication with the United
States consul at Rotterdam, Germany,
and the German government finally
procured the arrest of the agents wife
as an accessory and being in possess
sion Of the $3.50. The woman denied
it, but after three days spent behind
prison bars in close confinement own
ed up" and returned the money. The
United States consul prevailed upon
the company represented by the agent,
that, under the circumstances, it would
be advisable to issue free t~ransporta-
ton for Mrs. Stout and the children to
Halifax, from which point they reach
ed Hamilton via Winnipeg.
