saw some long, wet, soft looking grass.
Halt" he called to the driver.
The latter did so, suddenly. Mr.
Sullivan reached down, unlaced his
shoes, pulled them and his socks off,
rolled up his pants and stepped out Of
the vehicle into the grass. He waded,
dragged his feet, lifted them up and
put them down softly. He had blades
of grass between his toes, pulled great
handsful and washed his feet with it.
After being in the grass for half an
hour the sky became overcast. The
driver said storm was coming. Mr..
Sullivan told him to never mind; that
he would be paid for getting wet. A

ht Ct Agriculture Embarrass.
~ Growth in PopuIarlty-Look-
ing for Some Way to "Slde-
etep" Without Hurting Any
q ones Feelings. ~

Washington.-Again the department
of agriculture is suffering from an ex
cess of popularity. The last time 1t
ran into an embarrassment of this
sort was when the past spring 1t Is.
sued its now famous bird book"
which was manual OF the common
farm and orchard birds of interest to
farmers. There was such shoal OF
requests for copies that the depart.
ment has never been able to catch UP
with the requests.
This time 1t is in connection with
the weekly news letter" that Secre.
tary Houston. undertook to get out as
sort of compensation to the $4,000
crop correspondents who get no other
reward for their services. The first
issue of this letter has just been put
out. 1t consists of about 1900 words
of typewritlng, giving in popular Ian
guage and paragraph form summaries
OF bulletins and other things of i'm
mediate interest to agriculturists.
The intention was to get out an edi'
tion just large enough to supply the
correspondents. The first number con.
tanned paragraphs about investiga.
tions into seed adulteration, damage
to the market value OF hides by the
cattle tick, action against misbranded
insecticides. ETC., of direct interest to
farmers There was an immediate
flood of applications for the letter
from country papers and besides other
things request that copy be sent
to each OF the $500 postofilces for
posting for the benefit of visitors.
All this was quite complimentary
but the appropriation for white paper
alone to meet such a demand was toe
much OF a drain, and the mechanical
facilities for printing and mailing all
the copies were entirely inadequate
So the department is now looking
around for some way to sidestep grace
fully without hurting any ones feel
ings.

"The matter of theI defense to

have given the last twelve years
of my life and all l could make
in trying to develop the re-
sources of the county. and have
succeeded in getting other citi-
zens of the county and people
who had money to help me do it.
We have demonstrated that the
county is rich in mineral re-
sources even beyond our expec-
tation, and at a time when it
looked like the county was going
to blossom, these people pop up
and claim it. There has already
been spent at and near Camel
City at least 5000, 100000 in the
development of that field, If the
Sewells win, the citizens lose
their royalties, and we lose what
has been invested; and the citi.
zens who have received large
sums for a portion of their royal
ties will have to repay that ano
will lose the royalties reserved
by them. And the finding of OF
and gas in other sections of the
county covered by these deeds
will not bring a cent to the citi
zens where the lands are covered
by these deeds.

Frankfort in which every citizen
of Morgan and a great number
of the people of some of our SIS
ter counties ought to be- deeply
interested. In fact a majority
of the people of Morgan county
are or will be personally and ma
terially interested in the outcome.
We refer to the suit brought
by the heirs of J. w. and M. H.
Sewell against DR.. S. r. Collier
and others to recover the coal,
oil, gas and other minerals un-
derlying certain lands in and
around Camel City where active
operations are now going on.
The old Sewell grants, cover
ing about two-thirds of Morgan
and a good portion of Elliott and
Magoffin counties, were made in
1864. Below we give a list of
the conveyances that you may
know whether or not the title to
your home is involved. If you
derive your title from any of the
names in the list below given
your home is in jeopardy.
These grams to the Sewell did
not convey the fee simple title,
but only the mineral rights,
which in most instances are now
for more valuable than the sur
face.
The actions brought against
DR.. Collier and his associates is
only the BEGINNING Of the trouble,
II the Sewell heirs should be
successful in these actions, suits
would Immediately be brought
against every person in Eastern
Kentucky owning lands covered
by these old claims, and a glance
at the list of conveyances will
readily disclose what that would
mean and what sections and what
people would be involved.
Following is the names of the
persons from j. W. Sewell claim
ed to have purchased, and the
title to the lands of all who hold
under any of these is threatened;
practically all of Morgan, and a
large part of Elliott and Magof-
fin counties:

The leaning chimney Of the Avenue
Of the Presidents withstood the great
storm Of 1918.
WltnSt00n One would like
Erpat Storm to write that It
. stood up under
the stress of the storm, but this chin
ney has never stood up within the
memory of old inhabitants. 1t has
beer a leaning chimney for many
years, but in view of the tenacity
and persistence with which 1t leans
one would hesitate to call 1t de-
crepit chimney.
This old chimney leans as much as
II did when 10th street was only 10th
street and no more, when the Sec
tion over which 1t leans was gener-
ally called Meridian Hill neighbor-
hood, and before rich men began to
build residences in that section. I
Friends Of the crooked chimney
felt that in the late storm the end Of
1t had come. They felt that its bricks
and mortar and its topping tile would
be scattered on the ground. But the
chimney never lost brick.
On the west side of 10th street. at
the intersection Of Columbia road and
Mount Pleasant street, is a row OF
small frame houses. They sit rather
far back from the street, for the line
Of 10th street and It's grade were
slightly changed when IL was made
into a great way. The chimney leans
over the roof OF the northernmost
OF these old houses.
