"A thoroughly interesting paper,
: speaking of the enjoyment Of trips
in and around the mountain coun-
/ try, of fishing and hunting and OF
scenes associated with the life of
E Wordsworth, with glimpses of
, Wales and distant Ireland, and too,
of that famous city founded by the
Normans about which SO many. his
torians have spoken-Chester.
}, On the whole, this paper was in
structive, dramatically perfe c t..
, and should prove of profit to us; for
the keynote here is the same that is
found within our Chautauqua studies.

none the less well worth having
heard read before the circle.
Disease" by Mr.. Ell. F.
This paper was of an analytic or
der, along lines with which tn e
writer appears to have made him
self thoroughly familiar. 1t can but
have left among us considerable
food for thought. A number of au-
thorities were cited, giving added
strength to the thoughts expressed
by Mr.. +.
1t was well constructed, interest
ing and to the point. No discussion
followed. My criticism is one of
praise for the writer's care in the
preparation of his paper.
Sin Versus Crime" by Mr..
Van d.
Like the usual papers by the Doc
tor, this one was forceful, clear and
absorbing. No criticism as to its
grammatical construction is under
taken, for there were no errors in
that respect.
The thoughts presented by the
author of this paper were in them
selves powerful, progressive and
radical, from the point of view of
many; but to which I,fully agree.
Comment by a member was an
tagonistic to the thoughts or ideas
Of the Doctor; but were not suffi-
cient to offset the sound reasoning
in the thoughts advanced by him.
| am convinced that time will
prove, in part at least, the truth of
this writer's contention.-F. J. L.

A HAVEN FOR SPORT
Is the Plan Mayor Has Under
Consideration Now.

"A new amusement enterprise may be
started soon for the benefit of the
citizens of Richmond. Mayor thinner
man has under consideration a tract
of land, containing several acres, on
which he proposes to place a racing
track for horses. another for motorcy-
cles and automobiles, baseball dia-
mond. and to erect bleachers and
grandstands for the accommodation of
thousands of people. The mayors plan
is to buy the ground, and by sale OF
season tickets secure enough money to
make all the necessary improve
ments.
The mayors son, William thinner
man would be, in the course of time,
the owner. The site for the park
would be SO located as to prevent its
ever being plated and sold for lots.
The mayor believes the citizens in
general would approve of and appre-
ciate a place Of this nature, and he
may take immediate steps TO close the
deal for the property he has in view.

LOCALS CAPTURED
OPENING CONTEST
All Kentuckians Outplayed
in Field and at Bat-Big
Crowd Attended.

The local baseball season was ap-
propria1ely opened yesterday after
noon in the presence of some 1,500
fans by the local K. l. o. team defeat
ing tos4. it's sister Tor brother, as you
please league team, the All Kentuck-
ians, fresh from the famous Mill Creek
Bottoms, where Cincinnati grows it's
large crop of ball tossers.
There was some eclat to the season
blow-off. The mayor made speech,
plainly audible to the occupants of the
first four rows in the grandstand and
the players lined up on each side of
him, SO he could not escape if attack
ed by stage fright; the band played a
rag time harmony; Manager Braxton
sand some assistants saddusted the
pitchers box, the jumps barked play
b-a-w-l," Mr.. Johnson, the local twir-
Tier, wound up and hurled the Spald-
ing over the pan-and the game and
season of 1912 was on.
The game was a good one. Nothing
sensational and at periods, tiresome,
but both teams showed class at the
bat andsin the field. The diamond was
in poor condition as a result of the
morning rain and as a result there
was little baserunning. Richmond ap-
pears to have one of the best indepen-
dent clubs playing under local colors
in years. All the boys showed ginger
and ability to hit. BOIL. who went be-
hind the bat for the Quakers in the
fourth after Turner had his finger
split by wicked shoot, welded his
bat like Wagner and put the Qua
ikers in the running. Martin at second
for the locals, also played impressive
ly at the bat and in the field, while
johnson pitched a good game, being
effective in pinches and keeping his
hits scattered.
The visitors scored in the first and
in the second each team put one over
the pan. In the third Richmond added
another, tying the score. The tie re-
manned unbroken in the fourth by
each team accommodating one tally. In
the sixth Richmond took the leading,
hits by BOIL and Johnson and Smith
and sacrifice by Felhaus netting two
runs. The All Kentuckians made a
rally in the ninth, but fell short, by
one run, of tying up the game. Score:

Natures gifts are widely and va

are put into a stout bag, which is
hung in one Of the boiling springs and
left there while the party wanders
about sightseeing. When taken out
the clothes are so clean and white
that no rinsing is necessary.
On one occasion a party hung their
bag of clothes in the basin of the gey-

Askinq Too Much,

Uncle Josh worked for Lawyer Dali
rymple. and he had worked for Law
yer Dalrymple's father and grand
father. Very old, very kind hearted,
very amiable, Uncle Josh had one in
durable fault-keptomania. He stole
everything he could lay his hands on.
Lawyer Dalrymple's stock of pa
tience ran out at last. and when Uncle
Josh stole an automobile horn his
master decided to have him arrested
Two or three weeks in Jail. Lawyer
Dalrymple thought, was the only cure
for the old mans failing.
But Uncle Josh, when he heard of
the fate in store for him. pleaded hard.
He pleaded his old age. his long years
of patient service, his industry, his
fidelity, and, since these pleadings had
truth in them, Lawyer Dalrymple's
heart was touched. and he relented.
''Al right. Uncle JOSH" he said,
well forgive and forget But two
things l insist ON. First. you must
bring back the automobile horn: Sec
ond, you must sign a paper never to
steal again as long as you live"
Uncle Josh hesitated. Then he said
reproachfully:

months of the current year the total
issues have been over $1,026,o00, 900,
compared with 1886, 000, 900 in 1911 and
| s723 100000 in 1910. OF course a por-
ton of these issues was intended for
refunding purposes. Nevertheless. it is
evident that the amount of new capital
issues has recently been exceedingly
heavy. That they have been SO radi-
ly absorbed in spite of so many I'M
favorable conditions is excellent evil
dence of sound financial conditions.
Thus far there have been no indica-
tons of oversupplying the market, and
the distribution of these issues has I'M
doubtedly had much to do with the
support accorded the market by strong
banking interests. The investment of
such large amounts of new capital
means decided stimulant to many in
dustries, particularly those of con-
structive character Building materials
and especially steel, will be required in
great quantities, and labor in such in
dustries is sure to find ample en-
ployment. Already the steel industry
is feeling the stimulus just referred
to, and the output of finished steel pro-
ducts during the first four months Of
the year is estimated at $S,000,000,000
tons, more than one-half of which
went to single corporation. The rail-
roads are, of course, the principal buy
ers, but it is noted that many large or
ders are received for commercial build
ing purposes.
1t is likely that more or less timid-
ity will prevail in business circles un-
til the result of the June conventions
are settled or foreseen. After that
event there will also be certain
amount of unsettlement until the cleo
tions in November. Political condl-
tions, however, have been partly dis
counted, though they will continue to
be STOCK market factors for some time
to come. The most unfavorable ele-
ments in the situation are the lateness
of the crops, a continued increase in
the cost of living and continued labor
troubles. Our crops are unquestionably
from one to two weeks late, but it is
too early to form any positive opinion
upon the outcome, because few days
of more seasonable conditions might
quickly compensate for existing draw
backs. The rise in the prices of meat
and grain is, however. an unwelcome
development 1t will not soothe social
and political discomfort AS has been
repeatedly stated in these advices, the
one ssntial thing to continued pros
perity in the United States is good
harvest. Our agricultural output is to-
tally inadequate to meet the demands
of rapid growth in population. This
has vastly more to do with the increas-
ed cost of living than any augmenta-
ton in the gold supply. Our farmers
should get busy and increase their out
put. AS an occupation, farming never
offered such attractions in the form
of good profits and increased comforts
as it offers today. Telephones, rural
delivery, automobiles, ETC., have made
the farmers life much happier one
than was the case twenty-five years
ago.
