Boulden.

Mrs. Margaret Poor Boulder died
suddenly at her home in Nicholasville,
on Tuesday morning of heart failure.
Mrs. Boulder had not been in robust
health, but her ailment was not
thought to be of serious nature and
the news of her death came as a great
shock to her many relatives and friends
in Garrard County. After funera
services at the house conducted by the
minister of the Methodist church, OF
which she was a consistent member
her remains will be laid to rest in the
Nicholasville cemetery On Friday after
noon at o'clock.
Mrs. Boulder was the widow of the
late Charles M. Bou'den, a well known
and popular gentleman, who died in
1897 while making the race for Sheriff
of Garrard County. She was a daugh-
ter of the late John w. Poor. Mrs.
Boulder was we'll known and very
popular in Lancaster, where she re-
ceived part of her education, and her
sudden taking was a cause of deep
sorrow to her many friends here and
in the county. She is survived by one
daughter, Miss Carrie Boulder to
whom the sincere sympathy of every
one is extended in her sudden bereave-
ment.

realize the fact that government IF

The Contest Department has been
receiving a large number of queries
from the friends of contestants as TO
how they could help their favorites
and as to what was necessary for
them to do in sending in their own
subscriptions. All that you need to do
about your own subscription is to send
It in, either by mail or in any other
way, and inform the business office or
the contest department whom you
wish to vote for. To help your favorite
by securing other subscriptions in ad-
dition to your own, it is only necessary
to stop in at this office aid get sub
scription book, with which you will be
fully equipped to go forth and gather
in as many votes as you can muster.
TURN IN SUBSCRIPTIONS.
AS soon as the subscriptions are
turned in we will issue you voting ce :
tifcates, This certificate you may
keep until the last day of the contest
if you desire so that no one else will
know just where you stand even
though you do make your report of
subscriptions secured. You must re-
port subscriptions every few days for
those from whom you secure sub
scriptions expect their papers to be
started to them promptly and this
cannot be done until we hear from
you.
BEGIN A FRESH LINE OF SUCCESS TODAY
Vote ballots issued on subscriptions
are good at any time up to the close of
the contest. and may be polled and
published whenever you choose. The .
seems to be mistaken idea that the
vote ballots need to be polled (put in
the ballot box) as soon as they are is
sued to the contestant. This is not so.
You can use your own discretion in
polling the votes and they will not be
published in the paper until you de-
posit them in the ballot box. How
ever, the vote coupons published in
the paper are good only a short time
ahead, so be sure you cast them be-
fore the dates printed thereon has en-
pired.
DON'T NEGLECT OPPORTUNITIES.
The contest man would like to ask
all contestants whether they are not
overlooking good many opportunities
for securing votes? Are you not neg
lecting many possible sources for sub
scriptions? Don't put this contest in
the background for other matters of
far less Importance to you. Remem-
Der that the reward you are after is
not a trifling one. That you are after
something big. and that it will take
big effort to win.
Don't think that because all other
candidates appear to be in a comatose
condition that some few will net
awaken to the call of opportunity and
make last week squirt to win out.
Prizes such as the Record is offering
should not go begging and their very
value is certain to arouse the interest
of some of the many wide awake ones
who are not doing much at present.
SEND YOUR PHOTO.
The Contest Manager would like to
have the picture of all active candi-
dates who are working for votes and
subscriptions. The picture should be
sent in at once with short biographi-
cal sketch that will be of interest to
your friends. When you mail photos

was delightful TO run across friends
from every part of the United States
In the streets of Havana. My long
residence in Washington has given
me friends in every state sometimes,
which adds so much to the pleasure
and filling out of life.
Winter in Havana is a season of
delight. We have established our
home along the ocean front and truly
it surpasses description. The mingling
of deep blue water with deep blue sky.
the white winding road along the sea
and the magnificence of flower and
foliage make a picture which one
misses and regrets. Havana, | am
sorry to say, like so many other Latin
American cities, is giving up the
patio and villa type of the south of
France and that Of the American
south and southwest is becoming more
prevalent. ! regret the patio sincere
ly, but the younger generation find
more to admire in the story on story
house with all the modern accessories.
There are, however, still some splen-
did old mansions in Havana. where
the patio exists in its pristine glory.
This style is where the rooms of the
home look cut into an inner court
filled with flowers, where a fountain
tinkles and the family delights to
gather for intimate communion. Some
of the old government buildings have
the patio.
Social life in Havana is as adj
mirable as the climate | think the
ningling of the odd ceremonial GUS
toms with the less formal ones of to-
day has bred an cir of easy social in
.tercourse, which is most agreeable
and not at all restrictive. Many OF
the older residents continue the for
NAL method of life which is part Of
Spanish civilization. Many others
have adopted the easy ways of Amer
leans, so that one may see the GUS
toms of two worlds and of two diff
fering eras hourishing side by side.
There are so many balls and theater
parties and dinings without number;
in fact, it is rather unusual during the
social season not to aave guests to
dinner and then go with them later to
ball or the opera or the theater.
There is much visiting and one may
make a visit after supper which
follows the theater, something UNI
heard of here. But then often the day
light hours are sultry and they are
given to home duties and those avoca-
lions which keep one out of the sun,
while the brisk breezes which spring
up with the departing day inspire en-
ergy to visit and enjoy social pleas

Urges Consolidation OF Colleges.
State Comptroller Harrington took
occasion in the meeting to express
strongly his views upon the question
of a consolidation of the States edu-

of such schools as the Agricultural Col
lege, the st. Johns College The West
ern Maryland College and other State
and semi-State institutions which ask
State aid into one big State university.
Such an institution, he declared, could
be generously and properly looked
after by the State, and would be of
vastly more use to Maryland and more
credit than the number of small and
inadequately aided institutions that
now exist.
Director Patterson, who has been
chosen president, has made a fine

ers throughout the State. He was not

Asked and Answered.

A languid swell was visiting a
charming young society lady, and as
they sat on either side of the fire his
heart was full Of burning desire to
say something not only compliment
ary but brilliantly flattering.
So, after revolving the matter in
his mind, he said: "Ah, Miss Lille,
why are those fire-tongs so like me?"
He meant her to guess. or him to
tell her: Because they glowed in her
service" or were PROSTATE at her
feet" or something of that kind.
Miss Lille, looking solemnly de-
mure, eaid she didn't know, unless 1t
was because they had two thin legn
and brass head. He was cropping
blindly for the front door before she
had recovered from the shock of her
own folly.
