BANKERS OFFER PRIZES
FOR CORN GROWING CLUBS.
Georgetown Men viii Dispense With
Calendar Advertising to Carry
Out Plan.

Calendar advertising will be dlspens.
ed with by the bankers Of Georgetown
this year, says the Louisville Herald,
and the money usually spent along that
line will be given by the bankers In
prizes to the Boys Corn Growing club
Of Scott county. Commissioner of Agri.
riculture Newman recently received a
communication from the bankers OF
Georgetown stating that such action
had been decided upon at a meeting Of
the bankers. AS a result of this action
about $500 from that source will be
given In prizes.
This seems 10 be a sane and sensible
thing to do. Calendar advertising
brings inadequate returns for the mon
ey Invested The banks of this state
are spending $4,000 or $4,000 annual
ly for calendars. and except In rare
cases this is dead" expense. 1t was
all right years ago when banks first
began to use this medium OF advertis-
ing. but now practically every bust
ness house In every town passes out
calendars 10 its customers. The mer.
chant. the miller, the butcher, the
blacksmith and others make a bid for
trade In this way. AS a result the
banks customers have more calendars
than they know what to do with and
for that reason none of them are prop
erly appreciated. We venture the as
sertion that the lead Of the George
town bankers viii be followed by the
bankers all over the state

SENSE OF HUMoR.

1T is sure sign that as a nation
we are endowed with a sense Of
humor," remarked a congressman or
the Capitol plaza few days ago
when any one Of us will give up five
minutes OF busy day to stand right
here on this tornado-swept stretch
and laugh heartily at some poor tour
list who has to run half mile after
his hat which invariably blows of
as he goes around the Capitol cor
ner."

The awakened and more Intelligent
interest in all that pertains to educa-
ton In the commonwealth suggests an
inquiry in some quarters. Why not,
they ask. so contrive as that a con-
tinuity of reform be made the more
certain by permitting a second term
to the superintendent Of public instruc-
tion7 Allowing for the time necessary
for him to shake down in his office and
become at home with the routine, how,
in the brief space left, may he hope to
shape and perfect plans that shall
have time to blossom and bear fruitl
Is it not essential that If those plans
meet public approval and support they
be given every widest opportunity to
prove their worth by results?
The suggestion is worth consIdera-
ton. There is much to be said for II
and something, no doubt, on the other
side, But, at first glance, we are free
to state that it ''listens" well.

should be a progressive. energetic

Our Disqualification is an in
vestment; ignorance is a tax"

IF'rom the Russell Democrat.1
Herein lies the Importance of educa-
ton. We should educate rather than
instruct, because it is far more impor-
tant to cultivs e the mind than to store
the memory, and instruction is only a
part of education. Studies are means
and not an end.
Children are by nature eager for In
formation. They are always putting
questions, and this ought to be encour-
aged. Their instincts may be trusted
to a great extent, and In that case they
will do much to educate themselves.

Yet with all this vast patronage the
owners OF the moving picture theatres are
not getting rich over night; their ex-
renses are also very high. The theatres
in Birmingham that get the neavy pa
tronage are all located in the business
district where rents are very high. All
of the high class moving picture thea
tres in Birmingham are centrally located,
and a location in this district comes very

Around one block which might really
be called the moving picture block, there
are seven high class houses located amons

These are four in hummer and are all
