VOW IT IS INK
LESS PRINTING
Process Was Discovered by an
tngliShmdn by Accident.

1t is very possible that before
long newspapers will be printed
without the use of printing ink.
Even the colored supplements are
to be printed without ink. A
German publication, Die Welt der
Teachnik, devoted to scientific
matters and inventions, credits the
discovery of the inkless printing
process to an English inventor.
In the course of some electrical
experiments, it says, he accident
ally pressed a coin, which had
fallen on to the table and was roll
ling off, against a metallic plate
covered with a piece of paper, and
at the same time against an insu-
lated electric line. To his amaze
ment he saw a sepia print of the
coin impressed upon the paper.
This happened about twelve years
ago. Since then the inventor has
followed up this observation, and
has now developed process for
printing without ink. He uses
dry paper, impregnated with GER
tain chemicals, whose nature is not
disclosed.
In the process of printing the
paper travels over a metal plate
and the type is applied on the op-
posite side, a current of electricity
passing through the paper. Ac-
cordiDg to the particular metal
used for the substratum, and ac-
cording to the mode of impregna-
ton of the paper, a great variety
of different colOrs may be pro-
duced, so that multi-color printing
becomes an easy matter. -(New

individuality in Farming.

There is too much imitation in
agricultural practices. Thou
sands of men are unthinking fol-
lowers where there is one stead
fast, answering leader. A farm
er's vocation does not compel this
sort of blind trailing after the
crowd. He is not in an army un-
der a general. He is himself a
general, with the opportunity and
the incentive to plan and work out
his own campaigns. If he is wise
he will take much counsel, observe
closely and rely finally on his own
judgment. Even if that prove
costly, as occasionally it surely
will, it is better for him; he will
know his lesson, ana grow in the
self-developed power to deal with
his own problems.
If action in a given case followed
the careful, deliberate thought of
a community of farmers, then the
individual who dissented and went
a contrary way would be unwise
and almost inevitably unsuccess-
full. But the vast majority of
people do not think; they act, and
think afterwards. Since folk of
this type are easily swayed by
economic and political conditions
which they do not understand, they
invariably rush this way or that in
unreasoning, inarticulate masses,
sacrificing property and losing
their way toward any clear course
of effective action.
Agriculture as a business needs
more men who have the brains,
the will and the courage to act
with unshakable personal indie
pendence, calm and resolute when
tie multitude is stampeding. and
pursuing the course which they
have reached by thought. Such
men do not initiate or copy; they
do not follow in blind faith. They
think and act as free individuals,
basing their acts and attitudes
upon a careful study of the facts,
so far as they can ascertain them.

February Worst Month For This
TrOuble--HOW to Remove
Easily.

There's a reason why nearly ev-

happily there is also a cure for
these ugly blemishes, and no one
need stay freckled.
Simply get one ounce of othine,

night, and in the morning you
will see that even the worst freck-
les have begun to disappear, while
the light ones have vanished en-

moved now they will stay all sum-
mer, and spoil an otherwise beau

PAINTED IN FIRST CENTURY
Remarkable colored Portraits on
Wood Found by Prof. Flinders
PetrIe In Egypt.

With the revived interest in art,
both ancient and modern, it is sur
prising that SO little attention has
been paid to the recent exhibition by
Prof. Flinders Petrie Of some re-
markable color portraits which he
discovered in an Egyptian cemetery
at Fayoum. The cemetery dates
from about the first century and its
occupants were probably Romans.
The portraits which the professor
has discovered are painted on thin
cedar wood and were used as a COW
ering over the face of each mummi-
fed body. Professor Petrie consid-
ers that these are probably the ear
lest paintings know, and says that
many of the portraits are of such
individuality and strength as to
challenge comparison with the tech
mic and imagination of modern art
lists. This is particularly. remark
able from the fact that the basic
material of the paints is beeswax,
which must have been melted to re-
ceive the pigment, and then melted
again Immediately before use. The
colors have been found to consist of
mineral ochre, and haematite, the
blacks and charcoal, and the pinks
and puppies are madden. 1t is in
teresting to note that several modern
artists have attempted to use bees
wax in their pigments, but the re-
suits have been unsatisfactory, owing
to its tendency to either harden too
slowly, which causes the colors to
run, or too quickly, causing the
brush to become clouded.

Attention Educators.

The Kentucky Educational As
ISOLATION is the organized leader
in matters educational in the State,
and its plain duty is to make
supreme effort to improve the
content, the organization and the
administration of the public
schools. If the organized teachers
of the State do not take and main
tain and intelligent aud patriotic
lead in these matters which en-
brace their life work, have they
any cause to complain if others as
sumo their abdicated leadership.
One part of our school system
cannot suffer without all parts
suffer. 1t is the duty of every
man and woman engaged in school
work of every grade and kind TO
put his shoulder to the wheel and
assist in lifting the schools out of
the rut of indifference. Nero fid-
died while Rome burned; let no
school men bicker while the chill
dren of the State suffer. 1t is the
duty of every teacher to attend
the annual meeting of this Associ-
alton and to lend his hand and
heart to the great work it is doing.
The next meeting will be held in
Louisville June 1921.

Every Farmer for Himself.

education is directed to the indi-
vidual farmer. The teachings Of
science are for him to apply or re-
ject. No nationwide organiza-
ton can compel a man to till his
land in any way that he does not
choose. While the size of each
farmers crop is a factor in the
nations production, he is the sole
recipient of the profits from it.
His example may lead neighbors
to increased production, but at no
cost to him.
The large aspect of the NATIONS
total crop production is a matter
which must adjust itself mainly by
the law of supply and demand.
The total proceeds from the past
years crops will be as great as for
the year before. although the total
yield was generally less. The in
creased price prevented general
financial embarrassment because of
the bad season, but the income
from the past years crops was not
equally distributed. Those who
did the most intelligent farming
gathered crops of sufficient size to
make considerably more income
than in the good year when the
shiftless ones also harvested large
crops.
Whether the acreage devoted to
any particular crop is large or
small, the same principle domi-
mates returns. The man who Sc
cures a large yield per acre, and
produces it economically, is the
one who makes the most profit.
If the general crop is so large as
to carry the price very low, he
may not profit greatly, but he will
fare much better than a man whose
smaller crop cost him more per
bushel or ton.
There is no danger that the
widespread interest in better farm
practices will result in overpro-
duction. They will not be gen.
orally adopted suddenly enough
for that. Farmers cannot hope to
stand or fall together on any line
of farm management. Rather
those who most perfectly adapt
their methods to the ever-chang-
ing conditions will prosper, while
those who hang back for some
general stroke of good fortune or
legislative regulation, or farm
ers' trust to make their land or
their work unduly remunerative.
will always be complaining of
their hard luck" and of overpro-
duction in good years and crop
failures when the season is ad-
verse.
Every farmer must work for
himself. That is the only way he
will ever bring his land up to its
greatest productivity. Large
yields per acre at low cost per
bushel or ton, with soil fertility
maintained, are the keynotes OF
agricultural success. Educational
agencies are endeavoring to sup,
ply the information which pro-
gressive farmers crave. This
must be used by each farmer fol
himself. Incidentally the ex,
ample of successful farmer is the
best means of spreading the wei.
