MAKE HOMES FOR THE BIRDS
During Winter Boys Can Prepare to
Attract Little Feathered Friends
by Making Nests.

A boy once originated the idea of
varying the usual birds nesting
craze into a systematic study Of the
breeding of our common birds. In one
spring he found within the limits Of a
single village 107 robins nests. Zone
hundred were in suitable situations on
private places, Al were in woods,
swamps and orchards, eight were
placed under bridges 1.-TWO being under
the iron Orders of the railroad
bridge), four were in quarries, 16 were
In barns, sheds, under piazzas, ETC.,
and one was on the ground at the foot
of q bush.
In addition to searching out the
birds in their natural haunts. there Is
a great fascination in trying to at
tract them to our homes, says Boy
Scouts Of America During the win
ter evenings boy scouts can busy
themselves making nesting boxes.
Even an old cigar box or tomato can

ter will satisfy house wren. Other
boxes which are suitable for blue
birds, chickadees, tree swallows and
starlings will, If set up in March.
often have tenants the first season. In
many cases 1t is feasible to have
hinged doors or sides on the nesting
boxes, SO that they may occasionally
be opened and the progress of events
observed. 1t is needless to add, how
ever. that great caution must ho evor.

to Emperor Nicholas a solicitation
that he forbid forever the sale of
spirituous liquors in Russia. His
Majesty replied in telegram in the

Act Declared Valid.

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 20.-The
workmen's compensation act, passed
be the 1914 General Assembly, was
held to be constitutional by Judge
Stout in the Franklin Circuit Court
Monday in the suit brought by the
Compensation Board against the
State Journal Company to compel
it to make the preliminary report to
the board under the act. A large
number of employees have refused
to comply with the act, insisting that
it is unconstitutional. The officers of
the State Journal Company had no
objection to the act, but for the pur-
pose of testing it declined to comply,
and in answer to the suit of the
board for an injunction took the
ground that it is unconstitutional.
The case was argued before Judge
Stout for the better part of two days,
Robert Caldwell, of the Attorney
Generals Office, representing the
board. Judge Stout granted a man
datory injunction to the board. and

Barbourville, Ky, Oct. 20.-Judge
Burton Vance. Progressive nominee
for the United States Senate. long
term. made vigorous attack upon
the record of August e. Wilson.
his Republican opponent, in his
speech here tonight. He was heard
by a large audience.
Judge Vance charged Gov. Wilson
with being the candidate of the liq-
uor interests and the American To-
bacco Company. In support Of these
contentious. he read the published
report of his opponents statement
of campaign contributions. Some of
the principal contributors to the cam
paign fund of the standpat nominee.
he pointed out. are men affiliated
with the liquor business or the Am
erican Tobacco Company.
The speaker accused Wilson of
being bolter. He charged that Will
son bolted George d. Todd; his par
tvs candidate for Mayor of Louis
vile. and later refused to support
DR.. Godfrey Hunters candidacy for
the Senate and that of Judge O'Rear
for Governor. This part of the ad-
dress brought much applause.
Judge Vance also repeated his
challenge to Wilson to produce the
correspondence in which he begged
for the Endorsement of Theodore
Roosevelt and was refused. He COM
mented upon the fact that Wilson.
thus far. has refused to reply to this
challenge.
The arraignment of the Republican
nominee concluded with an account
of his participation in last years
election in Louisville. He accused
Wilson Of being party to wholesale
frauds by which the electorate of the
city was robbed.

ord of his Republican opponent.

about the Progressive program and
the reform which the party hopes to

The lads companions represented
themselves to be Indians and young
Eversole to be a prisoner. He was
tied to the stake in the old state
house yard, leaves were piled around
him and set on fire. The youngsters
danced a war dance while the flames
crept close to young Eversole, and
before he could be rescued he was
badly burned.
His injuries caused blindness, and
later he lost his mind. Death today

The COrrectOr Corrected.

The Hartford Herald thinks this
paper was wrong when it stated that
Mr.. Dudley C. Jones, the Pro-
gressive nominee for Congress. had
withdrawn in favor of w. Sherman
Ball, the Republican candidate. We
were right. Although he withdrew
too late to get his name off the bal
lot, as it had already been certified
to the various county clerks. Here
is what the Louisville Herald, Pro-
gressive organ, says about it Tues
day. this week:
1.-THE action of Dudley C. Jones,
Progressive nominee for Congress in
the Fourth District, in Withdrawing
from the race in favor of Sherman
Ball, his Republican opponent, is en-
phatically repudiated by members of
the Progressive State Campaign
Committee here, who unite in declar-
ing that the Moose senatorial nom
inees will not suffer on account Of
Jones' detection.
The withdrawal of Jones, who has
given out a statement asking Pro-
gressives to vote the Republican
ticket, has aroused keen resentment
among Louisville Progressives. They
express great indignation that Jones
should have obtained the confidence
of the State organization. accepted
the nomination, unopposed, taken a
solemn oath to carry the party ban
ner, and then violated the trust re-
posed in him by the Progressives of
the district"

Terrapins Eat Tomatoes.

Mr.. Elmer Z. Tinsley. who lives
in the Alexander School neighbor-
hood tells a strange story of the de-
struction of his late tomatoes. He
says he had a lot of vines near little
Nocreek, which after the drouth
broke began to bear a great crop of
the delicious fruit. However. all at
once his tomatoes began to disappear
and he found many partly eaten and
spoiled. These were mostly near
the ground and underneath the vines.
Mr.. Tinsley played detective and
caught the robbers red handed"
An army of terrapins had invested
his tomato patch. He threw fifteen
out at one time. Not desiring to kill
them he tumbled them as far away
as possible hoping the tomatoes
would ripen before the slow moving
animals could get back but the next
day they were on the job again.

Hon. ID. n. Smith Speaks.

Hon. ID. n. Smith spoke at the
court house Monday afternoon after
Mr.. Bullitt closed. His crowd was
even smaller than the one to which
the latter spoke. II was remarked
that notwithstanding 1t was the first
day of Circuit Court and that two
prominent speakers were billed, it
was the smallest Circuit Court crowd
Hartford has had in many years.
Mr.. Smith made the poorest speech
we have ever heard him make. He
has during most of his public career
been speaking when the Republicans
were in power and he seemed to for
get that relations were changed. He
went back to the days OF Jefferson
and Hamilton and flayed the Pro-
tective Tariff and Capitalization of
power. Notwithstanding we are living
under a Democratic Tariff law and
that the present administration
has done more to centralize govern
mental powers than any since the
days of Hamilton. We expected to
hear him tell OF the benefits of the
present tariff law and how it had
brought down prices but in this we
were disappointed. Instead he talk
ed of the great benefits of the rural
free delivery system and parcel post
which the Democrats had given the
country, although the former was in
augurated under President RoOse-
welt and the parcel post by Post
master General Hitchcock under
President Taft. He also took full
credit for the law placing the cleo
ton of United States Senators up to
the people and the income tax meas
ure. To have been fair he should have
acknowledged that bath measures
were made possible by constitution
al amendments submitted by Repub-
lican Congresses.
MIR. Smith was introduced by
Judge w. H. Barnes.
