AMERICAN LADY KILLED
BY FRIGHT IN MEXICO

Kansas City, Feb. 22.-C. s.
Bishop. secretary of the local Y. M
c. A., has received a detailed ac-
count of the death of his mother,
Mrs. w. I. Bishop, of Keene, N. H.,
and the experiences OF his two sis
tiers during the early fighting be-
tween the forces of Felix Diaz and
President Madero in Mexico City.
Mrs. Bishop was visiting her
daughter. Mrs. John Ashley, in the
Mexican capital. Mrs. w. F. Hol-
brok, another daughter, had been
summoned from New Hampshire
because of the illness of Mrs. Bish-
op.
When the fighting began, the reb-
els seized the Ashley home as a
strategic point.
Despite the protests of the fami-
ly. machine gun was erected on
the roof of the house. Mrs. Bishop
died of fright and the excitement OF
the first ire from this gun. q
The Ashley residence was under
fire all the first day of the fighting.
and it was badly damaged.
The next day the two daughters
with the body of their mother start
ed for the United States. Near
Montery their train was attacked
and captured by rebels. In this
fight rife ball passed through the
skirt worn by Mrs. Ashley, and an
other splintered the seat between
the sisters. The train was cut in
two. and for time the sisters were
unable to locate the body of their
mother. but the sections of the train
were reunited at Laredo. Tex, and
the journey was resumed.

STATE BANKS TO AID IN

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 22.-All the

to accept contributions TO the LES

send the money. with the names
and addresses OF the donors, to the
department. Many inquiries are
being. received, and IL is apparent
that the plan to sell his prize corn
at 81 an ear will be quickly carried
out.
BY selling the ears this way, not
only will money be raised for the
erection of a shaft to his memory
at Bowling Green, but the Lester
Bryant corn, by planting and pro-
will become distinctive.
Thousands of bushels of it will be
raised in Kentucky this year. 1t is
possible later that a scholarship in

will be established in honor of the
Kentucky boy who broke the ma
tional record for corn yield at a
minimum cost.

VITAL STATISTICS
SHOW KENTUCKY
To Be Getting Along All
Right Now.
BIRTH RATE IS INCREASING
And Local Registrars Are
Doing a Good Work In
Their Reports.


Bowling Green, KY, Feb. 20
That 1t is the intention Of the Cen
sus Bureau at Washington to ask
the States of the Union to emulate
the public health work done by the
local registrars of vital statistics OF
Kentucky is evidenced by the fol-
lowing letter:
Department OF Commerce and
Labor. Division of Vital Statisti IS.
Bureau of the Census. Washington.
Feb. is. 1913.-Dr. w. l.. Heizer.
State Registrar of Vital Statistics,
Bowling Green, Ky.-Dear Doctor.
Through newspaper reports. the
bulletins of the State Boards OF
Health and personal conferences,
have learned of the kind of health
work the local registrars of Ken
lucky are doing. 1t is shown that
they not only endeavor to secure
complete records Of births and
deaths, but, acting under the au-
thOrity of Kentucky's vital Stats
tics law, they report epidemics Of
typhoid fever, diphtheria, measles,
infantile paralysis and other COM
municable diseases and aid actively
in distributing literature. and. in
other ways, limiting the spread of
these scourges.
"By so ding the registrars of
Kentucky have succeeded in put
ting into actual practice the pur-
pose OF such law; that is. to pre-
serve and conserve the health and
lives of the people.
1T is my purpose to call the at
tentiong of the local registrars of
the other twenty-one of the United
States under this registration law,
to the work done by the registrars
of Kentucky, that the greatest good
may be secured from its operation.
Very truly yours,

IMPETUS GIVEN TO CAUSE

over to make the return trip by day and to

possible at night.
There is no doubt very great impetus
has again been given to the cause Of
good roads. and the chances are stronger
than ever that Mississippi is going to put
several hundred convicts to constructing
highways in the not far distant future.
There has been demand that convicts
be put to work on the roads for several
years. but the legislature has SO far turned
deaf ear to the proposition. The nun'-
Der of convicts has increased heavily the
past few years, and as they became
crowded on the farms the Legislature or
dered the purchase OF additional lands so
that all comers might be accommodated
