Be Careful With The Water.

The Mayor has issued rigid instruct
ions in regard to the waste of the city
water. and any person violating the
law in this regard stands in danger of
being forced to put in meter and hav-
ing the water cut off until the meter is
installed.
There has been a very great drain on
the water supply this year, both be-
cause of the great increase in the num-
Der of people taking water and because
of the amount of water used in the con-
struction of sidewalks, and as many
have failed to heed the mild admonitlon
heretofore given in regard to the use
of the water it has become necessary
to take strenuous steps to conserve
the supply. Better use your sprinkling
hose sparingly and during the prescrib-
ed hours, from to 7 a. m. and the
same hours in the evening.

Grand Jury Goes After Alleged Operator
Ut Blind Tigers In Lower Part OF
County.

The Record has repeatedly called
upon the good people of the county to
lend their efforts in assisting in the
breaking up of blind tigers which were
SAID to be operated in remote parts of
the county. and it seems that the call
mas not been unheeded. The present
grand jury returned good number of
indictments against ODE Garnett and
his son George Garrett. Davistown
negroes. charging them with selling
booze illegally in that section of the
county. Immediately upon the finding
of the indictment the representatives
of the commonwealth announced that
they were ready and anxious to 90 into
trial of the cases. but the defendants
filed affidavits, the contents of which
the commonwealth would have been
compelled to admit as true in order to
have trial at this term of court: this
they were not inclined to do, a con-
tinuance was forced. The defendants
up to the hour going to press had not
been able to give bond, and will in all
probability be compelled to remain in
Jail until next court, when every effort
will be made to convict them and rid
our good citizens of the lower end of
this county of it's evil which has so long
menaced them.

New Milking Device.

Mr.. Thomas jackson, the Shakertown
road dairyman, has adopted a device
for milking his many cows, which is a
success in every way. 1t is the Tharp-
less Vacuum Mixer. and with the de-
vice thirty cows can be MIXED in one
hour. A splendid feature is that the
milk is held in the vacuum until depos-
tied in the receptacles in the milk
house, and it is absolutely impossible
for it to come in contact with the at
mosphere about the barn. Mr.. Jackson
has one of the most modern barns in
Kentucky, yet, to be more certain that
the milk be kept away from the atmos-
phere, he adopted the new machine.
He says he has given thorough trial,
and the cows have improved in health.
There is not the slightest injury to the
cow, but, as was stated above, the
animals improve and give more milk

Garard County OratOry Wins Both Prizes
In The Contest Held In New School
Building.

Garrard county was ever noted for
its orators and the rising generation
are proving that they are amply able
to sustain the long established reputa-
ton. In the oratorical contest held at
the new school building on last Friday.
evening which consisted of two con-
tests, one for the boys and one for the
girls, both prizes were won by Gar
rard county children. Little Miss Mil
dred Beazley the handsome and talent
ed daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. James A.
Beazley of Lancaster, recited the
Swan Song" in such manner as left
no doubt in the minds of anyone as to
who should receive the prize, and her
rendition of this popular selection
would have won over a field of much
older and more talented speakers. Her
success were In a great measure due to
the efforts of Mrs. Ethel Beazley, wife
of DIR. w. S. Beazley, who is here on
visit to her brother Mr.. James A.
Beazley, and who gave Mildred the
splendid training which enabled her to
secure the prize which she so much
coveted and of which she is so Justly
proud. There were four other con-
testants for the girls prize, which was
handsome gold watch, besides the
winner.
In the boys contest there were four
contestant, and while each of the BOYS
acquitted themselves in very creditable
manner and gave every indication of
being able to take ample care of them
selves in any contest they may here
afterenter. However, Owen Hendren's
plea for Cuban Liberty" was conced-
ed by every one present to justly entitle
him to the gold watch offered in the
boys contest. Owen is not unknown to
the lovers of oratory in this locality,
and he gives promise of becoming a
credit to himself, his county and all
who are interested in his achievements.
Hon. C. C. Bagby of Danville, who
is an orator of no mean ability and a
splendid judge of oratory, acted as
judge upon this accession and there was
not dissenting voice in the entire au-
dience from the manner in which he
awarded the prizes.
There is nothing in the way of men,
tai training that is mole beneficial to
the young mind than oratory, and
these friendly contest create friendly
rivalry which tends to bring out the
best young orators in the locality in
competition for the prizes offered. and
we are glad to see the custom is being
revived of holding at least one contest
every year.

Another Crop New To Ganard County
Being Successfully Cultivated Near
Lancaster.
Lancaster.

Mr.. Walton E. Moss, another one of
Garrard county's most progressive
farmers, has crop which is a curiosity
even greater than the splendid field of
alfalfa being raised by Mr.. Thomas C.
Rankin, mention of which was made in
the Record several issues since. Mr..
Moss has in about twenty five acres of
"Soy beans, and the growing crop is
a beautiful sight to behold, one well
worth riding out to see. The beans
resemble cow peas very closely; Mr..
Moss has sowed them in drills and
cultivates them as he would corn,
although they may be sown broadcast,
in the former instance it requires about
one half bushel to the acre, but to
broadcast them it requires twice that
amount to the acre When broadcasted
they may be cut, when a little green
preferably, and they make splendid
forage, the hay proving much more
nutritious than any other class of
roughness. However, Mr.. Moss will
cut his crop before they are too ripe,
will thresh the beans and the straw will
still make splendid forage so he informs
us. If Mr.. Moss makes one half the
success of this crop that he does with
strawberries, they will indeed prove
remunerative to him.
Garrard county farmers are beginning
to branch out into new fields, and are
fast finding that the soil of the county
is adapted to almost any crop which
they choose to attempt to raise, and
the diversity of crops will eventually
prove of great value to the county, as
the newly tried crops, alfalfa, soy
beans and the various kinds of peas
being used for forage are Of great
advantage to the soil as fertilizer, and
we predict that in the near future a
great number of our farmers will turn
to them, both because they are
and because of the fact
that they will enable them to rest their
land from the strenuous crops of tobacco
and other trying products which they
have been producing in late years
greatly to the detriment of the soil.

President Wilson when he ordered a
rigid investigation as to lobbying in
Washington doubtless never dreamed
that the investigation would be called
upon to be so far reaching as has de-
veloped will be necessary. One Martin
Mulhall, an agent of the National

the startling announcement that q
number of the most prominent men in
the country, men prominent at Wash

fuenced". Mulhall went into detail,
giving names, dates and the purpose
for which the various persons were
reached, and included among the
number Ex-President Taft, Ex-Vice
President Sherman, Senator Lodge and
many more of national prominence.
Congressman Sherley of Louisville is
included in the list, and is already
clamoring for rigid investigation in
so far as the changes against him are
concerned. The House investigating
committee already appointed and at
work will doubtless prove inadequate
to the task in its present magnitude.
and new committee will doubtless be
appointed and Pres't. Wilson has an
nounced that thorough and far reach
ing investigation will be made of the
charges made by Mulhall, taking in
every detail. Mulhall is said to have
received the sum of $4,000. for his
