Senator Johnston, the governor .ndi-
Gated though he made it very clear
that it is his purpose to order the
election Immediately, probably with

this course might be necessary, I'M

Kentucky's Boys, Corn Clubs.

The Boys Corn club movement is
only two years old in this state, and
yet big things have been accomplished.
The Corn club boys. several thousand

than enthusiasm are the results that
have come from the work.
When the state champions met in
Washington this winter with the ex-
perts who had charge of the work in
the various states. there was naturally
a feeling of intense rivalry. Twelve of
the southern states that had been push
ing the Boys Corn club idea for sew.

had grown over 100 bushels on an acre.
Alabama and Georgia each had over
100 boys with this record to their cred

Didn't Understand the Terms.

Most everybody in Harrisburg
knows BILLY" Casey, the GIN
gerry Big Four switchman. He's
one of those happy, affable fell
Ions who never met a stranger.
It has been said of him that he
was at one time in his life a
politician and a ward heller.
How much truth there may be
in it we are not in aposition to
say, but there's one thing we do
know-Mr. Casey is some elias sy
railroad man. There's a good
story going the rounds now
about our friend Casey, and
some of the boys say it's really
q happening. The story goes
this way:
A Harrisburg girl was gawk-
ing around here one day last
week and was at the depot while
the trainmen were doing some
switching. AS the train was
backing up Casey yelled to
another switchmaA: Jump on
her as she comes by; run her up
beyond the ice plant and cut her
in two, and bring the head end
back to the depot. The girl
jumped up and down and yelled
murder" as loud as she could,
and beat it back uptown.
