The Arrangement Committee in Jack

union of the United Confederate Vet
Grams is to be held in May, have been
asked by the local camp of the G. A. K
that it might be allowed to contribute
to the fund being raised for the purpose
of entertaining the visitors and paying
the expense of the reunion. The re-
quest was readily and cheerfully gran
ted. This touching tribute goes more
than anything else possibly could to
show that all wounds are healed, all
feeling has been erased and that feel
ing of comradeship and brotherly love
exists in the fast thinning ranks of the
blue ana the GRAY" and that the re-
mainder of the short march to be made
by them will be made linked arm in
arm and in spirit of friendship with
the STARS and Stripes floating" above
them.

"POSSUM HUNTERS"
In MUhLENBURG AND OHIO COUNTIES
Recall "Ku Klux Khan" OF Recon-
struction Days.

A band of regulators dubbed "Pos-
sum Hunters" have been terrorizing
the citizens of Muhlenburg and Ohio
counties. In these counties several
hundred miners are on a strike, and
this band was organized presumably
for the purpose of bringing the coal
companies to terms, as several attempts
have been made to intimidate officers
of the Central Coal and Iron Co. How
ever, as usually becomes the case with
this class of organization. members
stray from the original purpose and
seek to have the organization avenge
Individual and personal wrongs, and as
a result, good citizens are in fear that
some member of the gang who have a
fsncied griveanc against them may
seek to do them harm through the med
ium of the dreaded organization to
which they belong. Both men and
women have been subjected to outrages
at the hand of the "possum hunters, "
called from their homes, whipped and
warned to leave the county, and feel
ing of terror pervades the two counties.
Blood hounds have been used in an eff
fort to run down the band, but as yet
all efforts in this direction have failed.

BOOSTERS
TO Be BANISHED FROM POULTRY
Yard For A Part Of The Year.

What Thanksgiving Day is to the
Turkey, May 18th will be to the Rooster,
if the plans of the Department of Ag-
riculture and the Kentucky Poultry
Dealers latest move proves successful.
The following bulletin issued by the
Department of Agriculture full explains
the proposed Punishment of the Lord
of the barnyard:-
I'm the interest of the infertile egg
the poultry specialists of the Depart
ment of Agriculture have started a
campaign for the elimination of the
rooster among poultry fiocks during the
seasons between MAY l and December
l. In this connection Saturday, May
16, has been set aside as Rooster day
in Kentucky and Tennessee, when
every poultry dealer in these States
has agreed to pay the same prices for
ROSTERS as for hens and pullets.
''There is an enormous loss in eggs
as the result of the fertile egg, espec-
tally during the summer and fall months
and it is for this reason the Department
of Agriculture recommends that the
rooster be kept away from the hens
during these seasons. 1t is estimated
that one third of the tremendous an
nual loss of eggs is due to the fertile
egg.
ITO the Kentucky boy or girl whose
hens lay the best dozen eggs the de-
partment is going to offer trip to the
San Francisco Fair"
The observation of rooster day"
along the lines above setouti is proposed
as an ANIMAL affair, and the teachers of
the country are expected to keep track
of it and announce it annually in ample
time for it's observance until such time
as it may become fixed in the minds of
the people. The bulletin for the pres
ent spplys only to Kentucky and Ten
nessee, but it is hoped that other states
will follow the example set by them,
until eventually rooster day" will
receive the same recognition as Christ.

This seems essentially designed for

tine Powered net or all-over shadow lace,
made over plain white net foundation
and has all its outside edges outlined
with plated net ruff1inS. There are trim
mings of small pink rosebuds. and a panel
train of azure blue charmeuse.
1t is this panel train which really gives
the gown its charm. The top of 1t Is
cut in point and then gathered under
a row of roses about six inches below
the point where it is caught in at the
waist 1t will be necessary to tack up the
heading thus formed against the waist
with a few stitches. From the waist line
the slightly gathered panel continues to
the knees. where it is again gathered and
roses, which at this point encircle the
gown in a line started from the front
fastening and dropped to the back. Then
the remainder of the panel forms a little
train. and it will be best to have this
portion lined with itself. For that matter
the entire panel may be lined to give
ii body.
The gown has a round neck and wide
kimono sleeve extensions. Each is finish
ed with narrow rutfling topped by smaller
roses. The fronts are crossed and fasten
below the bust. 1t is from this point
of fastening that the encircling line of
roses (Which holds UP the back pouch
ing) is started. so that the line slants
quite sharply down toward the back.
Then there is the lower part of the
neglise added below the rose trimming.
1t is in the shape of founce about a
foot deep and edged with net ruffllnS. 1t
describes the same slanting line 10 the
back. where it is cut deeper and run off
into a long point under the train.
