Great Question Solved.

The French academy has solved a
great question It's Savants having
traced the anripathy for the mother
inlaw TO tho red man. In the six.
teCnth century tho Spaniards brought
back with them. besides gold and
legends. the story Of the hatred OF the
mother.in-law among the aborignes
The noble red man would not walk
in the footsteps OF his squaw's mother
til the sea had washed them away. so
profound was his detestation of his re-
lation by marriage
This hatred, the academicians
think. was relic of the feeling en-
gendercd in he days when man stole
his bride by force. Naturally his dis
position toward his mother-inlaw was
not that Of an admirer,
We are living down the mother.in
law boge. Unlike the red man. a
good many Of us could walk in her
footsteps with great benefit to our
selves

100 In the Shade

One hundred in the shade days
are here. Are you ready to enjoy
them, or will you Swelter and
Suffer? When you get home
from a hard days grind at the
store, office or factory, you don't
feel like working a palm leaf fan
to keep cool, neither do you want
to Swelter. Then how many
nights have you gone to bed but
NOT to sleep, SO hot you couldn't
sleep. An electric fan at about
1c per hour going at slow speed
will keep you cool before you go
to sleep and then make sleep
possible. If comfort and sound
sleep are worth anything to you,
they surely are worth the price of
the small amount of electric cur
rent that am electric fan will use.
Of course, an electric fan won't
work in house that isn't wired,
SO call on us or anybody who
does wiring and get ready to
REALLY ENJOY the hot days
and nights that are here. Inves-
tigate our prices on fans. The
manufacturers stock is getting
low, so get busy.

BAD BUSINESS JUDGMENT

Sometime ago we mentioned
that the City Court was an ex-
penSive department and that
there was really no necessity
therefor. Of course legislation
must be had to remedy that part
of the matter looking to the
adjustment of certain useless
offices. But the salaries of the
offices can be regulated by the
council without further legiSla-
ton. 1t has jurisdiction to do so.
AS the salary of an officer can
not be changed after his election,
therefore, the council should
look after this matter before the
primary election and certainly
before the November election. 1t
is bad business management to
pay out much more than is being
taken in, to support a department
that could be dispensedwith and
the public would not suffer. In
private matters, men do not keep
something that's a dead expense
Why should city do so?

The marriage of Miss Wilyah Boen
Elliott to Mr.. John Field Barron was
solemnized Thursday afternoon at three
o'clock at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Elliott, on South
Limestone street. Beautiful decorations
of daisies and pink roses, palm and ferns
and festoons of southern smilax were used
in the parlor and living room. An altar of
green plants was arranged in the parlor
and was lighted by many candles. The
wedding service was read by the Rev. J. B.
Boon, of Texas, an uncle of Miss Elliot
Mr.. and Mrs. Barron left for Danyille on
the afternoon train and will at once go to
housekeeping where their attractive home
has been furnished. The wedding was the
happy elimination of a romance of 1910,
when the young people were, students at
State University. Miss Elliot is a daugh.
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Elliot and was
one'of the most popular teachers of the
primary department of Maxwell Street
School and is one of Lexington's hand
soonest girls. Mr.. Barron is son of Mr.
and Mrs. w. T. Barron, of Owensboro, KY,
a former student of State University, and

Reforming the currency, re-

the Republican officeholders, is a
task that will command all the
strength of President Wilson this
