Streams Are Drying Up.

Glasgow, Ky.-The drouth in Barren
ard the adjoining counties is alarming
and unless it rains within the next
few days people will suffer. Streams
are drying up, crops are dying in the
field, pastures have already dried up.
The water in South Fork creek, which
supplies the town, is so low that the
water company has had to cut the
water off except for a few minutes
morning and nights. The streets can
not be sprinkled and the dust is sew
eral inches thick. Wells are giving
out and in many sections stock is be-
ing driven quite distance to water
twice day. 1t is almost impossible
to get vegetables of any kind to eat
and the people are just now realizing
the seriousness of the situation and
unless relief comes soon the results
will be hard to tell. Old citizens claim
that this is the worst drouth Southern
Kentucky has known in fifty years.
The outlook is distressing and growing
worse every day.

Golden Dream Cake,

Separate the yolks and white of
four eggs, beat the whites with an
egg-beater until you can turn the
bowl wrong side up and the egg white
will hold it's position solidly. Then
with the egg-beater beat the yolks for
five minutes when they will be thick
and creamy. Then beating all the
time with beaten, gradually pour in
one cup granulated sugar. Beat until
sugar and eggs form a cream, light
and foamy. Then add one-half tea
spoonful of lemon or vanilla. Last
of all add one cup of pastry -four, ,sift-
ed three times, with saltspoon Of salt
in it. Fold in the -four very carefully
with spoon. Turn into buttered
and well-floured tin and bake a pretty
golden brown. In cutting for the
table crease each piece deeply and
then break. To cut sponge cake spoils
the grain and makes it seem heavy.
There is no rising in this cake except
the eggs. But you will find 1t all

Dams For Emergency.

Paris, Ky.-'rhis city is face to face
with the worst water famine it has
experienced in many years and unless
relief comes within a short time it is
feared almost the entire water supply
will be exhausted. No rain of any
consequence has fallen in the last six
weeks. Stoner creek, which affords
the city its water supply, is almost
dry and it is with great difficulty that
enough water can be obtained from
the stream to furnish fire protection
and for the general use. The. Paris
Water company has issued an appeal
to the consumers to be very sparing
with the water until ford five miles
above the city can be trenched to adj
NIT supply to the lower stream. 1t
is the plan of the company to begin
at once the construction of dam at
this point to retain supply of water
to be used in case of an emergency.
and the Paris Milling company and
Louisville & Nashville railroad have
under consideration the construction
of large concrete dam to take the
place of the one now across the stream
at point east of Third street

Carlisle, Ky.--Carlisle and Nicholas
counties are threatened with a water
famine, the situation being more seri-
olIs probably than ever known in
years. The Carlisle Milling company
has begun shipping water by rail from
Licking river to run their plants, and
other large concerns will have to be-
gin at once. Wells, springs and pools
never before known to be dry are
exhausted, and people in many in
stances, are carrying and hauling
water for miles, and in some cases
are said to be- buying water. Many
farmers are without any water for
their stock, which they are selling off
by the hundreds. Crops in this sec
ton are about ruined.

well to attach pencils to the cards

arrived. A half hour is sufficient time
to allow for the guessing.

FOR WINDOW DRAPERY
TIME TO GIVE THOUGHT TO CUR.
TAINs is NOW.
Material Desired May Be Bought
Cheaper at This Season Than
Later-Susgesti2n as to the
Best Color Schemes.

Now that autumn is approaching 1t
is time to think Of new curtains.
They may be purchased now at small
cost
For living or dining room nothing
could be prettier than the green and
yellow scheme. If the walls are
green. brown or gray. have soft yell
low next the window and green to
cover the woodwork.
Soft yellow silk muslin hemstitched
is beautiful. but the same delicate
shade OF ,cheesecloth will give exactly
the same effect Cheesecloth may
sound rather poor, but when hanging
at window with the light back Of it
nothing could he prettier, and certain
ly nothing less expensive. Make the
curtains perfectly straight with a
wide hem. Put them on brass rod
and they will hang softly. giving q
peculiar light that is unusually sug-
gestive of mellow sunlight.
Over the window frame heavier
material is necessary. For all living
rooms cretonne or English chintz in
yellow and brown tones is pretty but
cotton poplin is no more expensive
and much more elegant and artistic.
Poplin can be purchased in all shades
of green, brown or red, and is good
substitute for velours in winter, IS
it looks quite as warm. and, unlike
velours, it need not be made by an
expert to look well.
Outside Grapes should be cut
straight. the same as those next the
window, using width for each side.
Hem across the bottom and attach the
other end to a rod, or tack to either
side of the window frame, as they will
not be drawn, but left to hang plain at
the sides. Across the top of the win
dow a valance is good. Cut the pop
lin in half lengthwise, making cas-
| ing, with heading, and have it twice
as wide as the window. Run the rod
through the casing.
| For bedroom white cheesecloth is
advantageous. Cheesecloth washes
| like linen, always looks fresh, appar-
emily never wears out and in colors
never seems to fade. Pink in a deli
cate shade is also pretty for bed
room, as the light has way of shin
ing through it which is very alluring,
almost like a sunset glow.
Inside curtains of cretonne may be
made OF width of the material less
the width that is taken OF for the
pleating. Make box pleats about two
inches wide and the same distance
apart, stitch and put around the sides
and bottom of curtains. also on the
valance. Hang them the same as the
other curtains.
The best quality Of cheesecloth in
all colors can be bought for ten cents
yard, and silk muslin and cotton
poplin at % cents

be moved a couple of inches or SO

effect of keeping the pile of the carpet
