More Precious Than GoId-Just Now.

There are many good ponds in Garrard
county, perhaps not as many as there
should be, or will be after this long
drought, but the most noticeable,
perhaps because it is closest to town, is
the one on the Richmond pike belonging
to DIR. VIM. Burnett. This pond is on
the old Conn place and converges into
the public highway, and just atpresent
Is proving a God send to the people in
that neighborhood for many miles
around, who drive their stock there for
water, and scarcely an hour passes but
that some one is not seen hauling water
from this pond. The pond covers
several acres and is about ten feetdeep
in the middle. In the wet season it
often runs over the pike, and many
there are who will complain of this, but
the damage done to the pike is small,
very small in comparison with the good
this noble body of water is doing at

Eternal Vigilance"

Health like Liberty is only to be
bought at the price of eternal vigilance
and now that the heated season is upon
US in full force, just because we are
enjoying season of unprecedented
health, let US not for one moment relax
our vigilance as to our sanitary sur

our undoing. Look carefully, just as

tendency to promote the health of your
family and that of the community.

The Drought And The Crop Outlook.

The drought has wrought no end of
damage in Garrard county. the damage
to the corn crop alone will amount to
thousands of dollars, tobacco is serious
ly injured and both quantity and quail
ity are seriously curtailed, while the
meadows We're almost a complete fail
ure, and hay bids fair to go as high
this fall as in the fall of 1911. The
hot scorching winds of last week, while
source of relief to sweltering human
ity, yet worked untold damage to the
crops, far more damaging than the
broillng rays of the sun, the corn blad
es under its influence seemed to curl up
and literally parch, while tobacco fired
at the ground and continuing up the
stalk, in many cases injured beyond re-
lief from good rains should they come.
Nor is the. injury to the crops the
only damage wrought by the lack of
rain, with no rainfall worth speaking
of since April; streams and ponds have
failed that were never known to fail
before, and many farmers are hauling
stock water for miles, and the turnpik-
es are lined with live stock travelling
to and from the nearest water holes.
In many instances because of the lack
of grass, and water and the poor pros
pect for relief in the near future, farm
ers are selling off their stock, and not
withstanding the heat ard drought, the
shippers are kept busy gathering to-
gether and shipping this stock to the
city markets,
However, we are glad to say, that
while the condition is bad enough where
ever it exists, it is not county wide, and
some Of our neighboring counties have
had seasonable weather, while others
are worse off than are we. In upper
Garrard We have had some rain and
there is fair promise of good crops, and
in spots in other parts of the county
good showers have fallen from time to
time.
We have been wonderfully blessed in
the last few years in the abundance of
crops We have been enabled to raise,
and we should not complain too loudly
at one failure.

in their efforts to secure stock water.
How much better it would have been to
have prepared for war in time of
peace" and made these preparations
against such contingency. Droughts
in this section are coming to be very
usual affairs, in fact we have one more
or less severe every summer, and the
sooner the farmers make preparations
to guard against them, the sooner may
they expect to have good supply of
summer stock water. There are many
days of idleness that could be utilized
in boring wells. damming streams,
building pools and making such pre-
parations as conditions will admit for
saving from the winter rains and SHOWS
enough good water to prevent scarcity
during the dry season. 1t is only a
matter of a short time when this will
become necessary, why not begin now.

From the American Press Associa-

telling all about Mr.. John M. Camden's s
Barbecue, which he is going to give to

ington Herald is also sending out
marked copies of that good paper con-
tanning a double column editorial on
the barbecue in which it incidentally
expresses the hope that Mr. Camden
will be candidate for United States
Senator. Now if Mr.. Camden wishes
to run for the Senate he has a perfect
right to do so. but he will not find
many Kentucky farmers Easaus who
are willing to sell out for a cup of
burgoo. However, we do not believe
Mr.. Camden is seeking to buy the
Senatorship, the Governorship, nor
any other Office, though some of his
friends would lead people to believe so.
Whether he has an ak to grind or not,
he is doing a great big thing for the
farmer and farming interests, and
needs rather the praise and commenda-
ton of the people than the spreading
of the report that he is working fol
his own selfish ends.

Last Call To Water Consumers.

/ have been giving careful attention
of late to our water supply, and find
that there is very perceptible decrease
of the volume of water in the lake:
still with judicious use, | believe there
is ample for the use of the city, pro-
vided we have rain within a reasonable
length of time. This of course we are
unable to tell and it therefore behOoves
us to be as economical as possible with
what water we have. | have also OBJ
served very carefully the manner in
which the water is being used and /
know just exactly how each consumer
whose name is upon my books treats
the water. Some use water as if there
was an unlimited supply at their COM
mand, they sprinkle at all hours and an
unnecessary amount of it, they leave
the sprinkling to children who have no
idea as to how much water is being
used, and all with the idea that it is
unknown to the authorities. Upon the
other hand many of our citizens are
very judicious in the use of the water,
and adhere strictly to the laws govern
ing its use, but in order to protect the
town in case of emergency or fire, un-
der the recently enacted ordinance, /
will be compelled to ask the Mayor to
cut off the water supply unless there
is marked decrease shown in the
amount of water used daily. l dislike
very much to be compelled to take this
step, but l will be compelled to do it
unless there is marked improvement
in the manner in which the water pri-
vileges are treated at once. l shall
not call the attention of the people to
this matter again, as l have already
done so several times, and the next
step will be to cut off the water, which
step hope will not become necessary.

ted on his good fortune.
In casting about for men who might

though comparatively Young in years,

a lawyer of ability, with enough ex-
perience in politics to give him a good
insight in to the art of diplomacy, and
above all splendid, christian gentle
man, is fully capable of looking after
the rights of Uncle Sam in the best
possible manner.
Boyle county is justly proud of Mr..
Price, and we'll she should be, for Gar
rard never gave her a nicer gentleman
or more upright and highly respected
citizen, and Garrard did give him to
Boyle, he was born and raised and his

traditions for many generations. Gar
rard county has long watched his ca

prominent in the diplomatic corps ur-
til he shall come to be recognized as
one of the most prominent of our for

HERALD EDITOR
Pays High Tribute To Young Wheeler
Haggard, Who Lost His Life AT
Lexington.
Lexington.

In the following lines, Editor Desha
Breckenridge. of the Lexington Herald
pays high tribute to Wheeler Hag-
gard:
Yesterday, Wheeler Haggard, as
assistant in the meteorological labora-
tory of the pure food department at
the Experiment Station, went to
slaughter house out in the factory dis
trict of West Lexington, to obtain a
supply of OK bile. On returning. he
was struck by an incoming train and
killed. The railroad track was the
nearest route from the street car line
to the slaughter house. To red-bloOd-
ed boy railroad tracks are not danger
Gus. In this case the noise of a long
freight train overhead must have kept
him from hearing the train from be-
hind.
OK bile is one of the means of de-
tecting disease germs. 1t must be
fresh. To get it. is one of the unpleas-
ant duties of an assistant in the pure
food laboratory. All during the sum
mer while others may take vaetions,
the pure food work is heaviest. 1t is
the season when the closest watch
must be kept over the milk and farmers
from all sections send water to know
about typhoid. All connected with the
laboratory are happy and wrapped up
in their work. Every fall. when the
work is over and vital statistics chart
ed, they can see their inspections and
examinations translated into fewer
deaths and, however small the pay.
however much misunderstood MANY
times by the very public for whom they
work, however disagreeable the task
of continually asking the dairymen and
food dealers to clean up and remove
causes of contamination, there is an
exhiIarating pleasure when the hard. hot
summers work is over and they see a
substantial victory over disease health.
Young Hlggard was only an under
graduate in the University, a bottle
washer and laboratory helper in the
pure food laboratory. He was as yet
only a high private in the rear ranks
of the American army of public health.
He was killed in the line of duty, the
disagreeable duty of carrying OK bile
from an out of the way slaughter house
to be used in detecting disease germs
in the every day food and drinks so
that unsanitaIy conditions might be
corrected and others might live. If
it were ever a solace to mother tina
her soldier doy died in line of duty,
then may it be solace to a widowed
mother in Winchester that her bright,
clean boy was struck, not while joy
riding or spending loafing summer.
but while performing his part of a
service that is making Kentucky

The drought is not purely a local

In Kansas, one of the principal corn
growing states, the corn is an entire

enough sustenance to be useful for
silage. However, the people of that
state of many troubles, are taking the

are full to overfowing, and any way
