TERMS OF PEACE ARE
ACCEPTED BY TURKS
The Ottoman Empire Accedes to
Proposals of the Euro
pean Powers.

Constantinople, April 2.-The
Turkish Government to-day declar,
ed that it unreservedly accepted
the final terms of peace propos-
ed by the European Powers. The
Foreign Office to-day handed the
Ottoman acceptance to the Dean OF
the Diplomatic Corps here and. ex-
pressed the thanks of the nation to
the. Powers for their mediation.
Bulgaria, Friday last, notified
the Powers that she would accept
the proposed terms of peace but
persisted in her demand for a war
indemnity.
The fall of Adrianople is consid-
cred likely to have sumo influence
on future negotiations. The terms
of mediation proposed by the Pow
ers are as follows:
THE frontier of the Ottoman En-
pire in Europe shall start at Enos
and, following the course of the
Martha river and then that of the
Ergene, shall end at Midia. All
territories situated to the west of
the line shall be ceded to Turkey
by the allied States, with the excep-
tion of Albania, the delimitation of
which shall be fixed by the Powers,
1.-The question of the Aegean Is
lands shall be settled by the Pow
ers.
Turkey shall abandon all claim
to Crete.
THE Powers cannot favorably
entertain the demand for indemni-
ty, but they will permit the allies
to participate in the discussions of
the, International Commission in
Paris for an equitable settlement
of their participation of the Otto
man debt and in the financial
charges of the districts to be hand
ed over to them. Turkey is to be
asked to take part in the labors of
this commission.
THE great Powers declare at the
same time that as soon as these
bases are accepted. hostilities shall
cease"

SAAWNEET0WN SWEPT

Only a Few Brick Buildings Are
Left In the Depopulated
Town OF 5000.

Shawneetown, H., April 3.-(By
boat to Dekoven, Ky.)-All that is
left tonight of Shawneetown is the
few substantial brick and stone
buildings behind the main levee.
and they are considered unsafe.
There are less than 100 persons left
in the former town of 5000. They
are in the second and third stories
of the Main-street buildings, tbe
structures on the highest std eet
in the town. A strong wind, ri4ing
at 10 o'clock this morning, COM
pleted the destruction begun by the
opening of the south ,levee yester-
day.
The water within the levees was
up to the fifty-seven-foot level of
the Ohio river. The forty-five mile
an hour tempest dashed the broad
waters of the Ohio into a rolling.
tossing sea. The breakers dashed
over the already submerged levees.
Between the churning waters and
the southwest gale frame buildi 1s
fell to pieces and the more xlb-
stantial structures were shaken.
A break in the north levee also
added to the danger of the town,
and, the main force of the Ohio
striking the north levee, the rift in
the embankment rapidly spread and
soon a swift current was dashing
through the residence section, car
rying all before it. By night the
Ohio stood between forty-five and
fifty feet, accurate reading being
impossible because of the huge
swells rolling in.
The entire north and east levees
are submerged. The levee hoteAs,
heretofore considered ,impregnal&ie
of flood attack. were deserted by
the several hundred men who had
preferred them to refuge with their
families in the highest buildings in
the town. Inc state Guards were
transferred from their camps to the
refugee camps on the hills when the
levees began to crumble before the
wind and water.

THRILLING ESCAPES OF
FR0F. HOE|NG FROM FLOOD
In Eastern Kentucky-He Went
Through Some Harrow.
ing Experiences.

Frankfort, KY, April 4.-Prof. ].
B. Hoeing, director Of the Geologi-
cal Survey. has returned from the
vicinity Of Whitesburg, Letcher
county. after covering 200 miles
either on foot or in boat, arriving
at Ashland with the first authentic
news out of the Big Sandy Valley.
He said when he passed through
Jenkins and McRoberts provisions
were growing scarce in those towns.
Efforts were made to carry provis-
ions there in wagons, but the roads
were washed out and in many
places impossible, and the RAILROADS
have ceased operating. He doubts
whether provisions can be taken
into the towns any way except on
the backs of men. The fall is so
great, however, in that section that
as soon as the Ohio permits, the wa
ter will run out of the mountains.
Prof. Hoeing was with a survey
camp short distance from Whites
burg. He started away as soon as
the perils of the situation became
apparent. He left Whitesburg
Thursday and did not reach Ash
land until Sunday. He had at
tempted to telegraph to his family
at Lexington, but after he reached
home he received by mail the mon
ey he had paid for sending the mes
sage. The wires were useless.
He found that it was impossible
to make his way over the noun
tains horseback and set out afoot.
He caught ride on a handcar for
seven miles in a binding snow
storm, climbed mountains. the
roads of which were obliterated by
landslides and washing, and slid
down the opposite slopes, risking
his life every hour. At Louisa he
was rowed across the river and
made his way to Kenova, w. Va,
where trainloads of passengers had
been abandoned. All the way up
the river he saw freight and passen-
ger trains standing on the tracks
in the water, abandoned with their
engines. He tried TO secure the
only motor boat in Kenova to go to
Catlettsburg, but the chief of po-
lice said ii was the only means they,
had of rescuing people from the
flood, and just at that moment the
boatman announced TO the chief
that they were out of gasoline and
there was no more in town.
Another wayfarer suggested to
Prof. Hoeing that if they could get
to Catlettsburg they would find
good hotel. They secured a skiff
and were rowed across. but when
they approached the hotel, lodging
the branches of trees that almost
brushed them out of the boat, they
saw boatmen taking guests out of
second story window. Their own
boatman then rowed them to the
nearest hill. whence they made
their way by a circuitous route into
Ashland. With the water supply
cut off and the gas gone, guests at
the hotel in Ashland We're living
and candles were burned
for lights.

Their COUNTY CORN CLUBS
How To Select the Land and
Seed, Preparation of
Seed Bed, Etc.
PLANTING AND CULTIvATING

The Agricultural Department OF
the Western Kentucky State Nor
nal School. Bowling Green, Ky,
has issued the following directions
Tor corn cultivation in Kentucky:
Selection of Land.
/. See that land is well drained
and as fertile as can be secured on
the farm.
2. If possible to obtain. an acre
not cultivated in corn last year is
most desirable.
3. If there is a fall plowed field
OF clover or other sod, COW peas or
pasture land Oh the farm, select an
acre from that.
FertilHing.
I. Use an abundance Of we'll
Iottsd stable manure, if obtainable
Apply after land is plowed and
work into soil thoroughly (25 tons
IS not too much If well worked in).
Part of the manure may be applied
before blowing if thought best.
= If commercial fertilizer is
Used one analyzing as nearly as
Iypsszole. nitrogen. per cent, phos-
pas9rie acid, 10 per cent, and pot
=EsA. 2 per cent, is recommended.
iFEH--gizr 2 10 lbs. TO 500 MS per acre
zzlnzId be drilled into the ground
vrRh = wheat drill about two weeks
Iss5Ee planting do not put fer
fTUzzr an the hill).
Preparation of Seed Bed.
g. BREAKING-(a) Fall break
TIsz IS best. (b) For spring break
iuE turn soil not less than inches
Ind deeper il not more than an
i5ssh of clay subsoil is turned up.
Better pillow ~ to 16 inches deep if
the subsoil permits.
2. PULVERIZING - before
planting thoroughly fine the soil as
deep as possible, using disk or cut
ing harrow until manure is thor
sSughly mixed with soil. The land
should be like a garden or ash pile.
Seed.
Get your seed corn from the best
crop that has grown in your section
az country. The variety does not
matter so that it is known to have
high yielding qualities. Of you
have trouble in getting satisfactory
seed, inform your County Superin-
tendent and it will be attended to-. /
Planting.
I. Either in hills 3 feet s inches
eAeh way, or drills Is inches, in .
rows 3 feet inches apart.
2 Plant 3 inches deep.
3. II corn needs thinning or re-.
planting see to it as early as posi-
bIe. CRY for uniformity.
4. Plant as soon as suits your
conditions after April 18th.
Cultivation.
I. Any time from planting to
YOUR days afterward, harrow the
ssIOund smooth with a light harrow.
SDo not harrow or roll after it is
mp If you can avoid i),
2. Cultivate every week or ten
days with fine tooth cultivator, or
,One-horse harrow, from time corn
is large enough until it tassels.
3. Keep corn free from weeds.
They take up the moisture that the
soil needs.
=. II bull-tongues are used they
should be small ones.
Very Important.
Never work in soil when il is too
wet. and never cultivate over two
inches deep. ct will do more harm
than good.
Study carefully all publications
sent you. and keep a careful record
of time (horses and mem, material
and money used on the acre. These
will figure in your grade at the end
of the work. A
Respectfully submitted,

Did you ever read a story in
which humor of the finest and

utterly impossible persons who
never lived and never could have
lived and whom you might meet
any day of your life?
They're here, right here in this
story. They have the most i'm
