and that of the household of which she
forms a part, or will our curricula de-
mand that she spend all her time in
studying the war between ancient

does not mean cooking and sewing
alone, as so many seem to vaguely i'm

of the manufacturing processes of

clothing, but as she is studying the

TELLS OF SLAUGHTER
AT ALTKlRcH FIGHT

Paris.-Private Jean Martin. who
has been invalided home, told lie
Matin how the French took Altkirch,
in lower Alsace Here is his story:
Approaching Altkirch received my
baptism of fire and lost the comrade
who shared my bed. A bullet struck
the poor little chap full in the face.
He never spoke again.
After a whole days maneuvering
we came near Altkirch, which is COM
manded by a ridge. We advanced,
our regiment being the center OF the
line Our artillery was blazing away.
When we reached the top of the ridge
we saw at our feet slope covered
with cultivated fields. At the foot OF
the declivity were the station and
town.
What a descent that was in Skin
mishing order among the potatoes
and mangel-wurzels. What music &C
companied us of bullets whistling
whistling from all sides.
Grand Dieu, what whistling there
was!
The Germans held excellent posi-
tons. In the outskirts beyond the
town some of their mitrailleuses
(quickfire guns) came into action
but things were going well for US. all
the same.
We continued to advance under q
hail of bullets. Then the charge
sounded and the whole brigade
dashed forward with bayonets fixed
The enemy abandoned their posi-
lions and retired.
That evening we slept in Altkirch
my company being in the cemetery.
In the second battle next day the
One Hundred and Ninth and One Hun
dred and Tenth Grenadiers, who, II
was said, were commanded by one OF
the imperial princes. tried to drive us
out. For long time the action was
undecided. Suddenly the grenadierf
gave way.
We were in the edge Of the wood
only 200 yards from the enemy. With
volley we dropped the complete line
of them. but new line appeared i'm
mediately.
1t was slaughter. Suddenly the
bugle call sounded their retreat.

ter you hear fair going people say look
we'll to your laurels county fairs" or
the Capital Fair will out rival all OF

this? Why should we take the lead in
matters of this kind? The answer
comes from the hills and the valley,
from every fertile field and from ev-
cry Bluegrass pasture, from every
man, woman and child who loves ma
ture and the things given tos US
through the workings of the laws of
nature that we should improve every
opportunity and make old mother

Scientific Road Work.

Scientific Road Work.
That counties of the state of Ken
lucky are taking advantage of the
good roads department of the state
and being benefited by the assistance
offered by that department is evident
from letter received by, R. G. Ter
rell, commissioner of roads, from John
E. PLANT, road supervisor of Caldwell
county. The letter reads as follows:
I've have graded most all of our
roads with our oil tractor. We pur-
chased a 3,5O0-lb grader which cost
$500. We put it on the roads to work,
pulling it with our tractor, and l new
er saw better work on the roads. The
grader, including all expenses, is run
at cost of 81 per day. 1t will do as
much work in a given time as three
six-horse teams. We have six graders
in our county. In 1912 the roads here,
under tho old system, cost $16,500.
Last year / put them in splendid con-
dition for $7,400, thus saving the coun-
ty $9,1O0 in one year. This year will
get the roads all graded and in good
shape, well crowned and drained for
$1,000.

THE DEAD

The dead they sleep so deep,
The dead they lie so still,
| wonder that another man
Nav look on them-and kill.
The dead they lie so pale,
The dead they stare so deep,
wonder that an emperor
May look on them, and sleep.
Their hands are emptiness;
No dream is in their hearts.
Their eyes are like deserted rooms
From which the guest departs. q >
The living are so fair!
So smiling and so strong
But dead men lie like broken lutes
Whose dying Stays a song.
Oh, will there come a time
Beneath some shining king,
When We shall arm for living's sake.
And turn from numbering?
The dead they lie so wan,
So empty of all breath
wonder that a living world
Can make a means of Death.

FIELD Of HENRY MYERS
HAS BEEN BR0ADENED
IWell-known Ad Writer Now In Full

In presenting today a Greater New

are characteristic of the Myers me-
thods, the compelling kind with which
the women shoppers of Phoenix have
become Thoroughly familiar.
Twelve. years is a long time, espe-
cially when it is spent at one post.
The fact that Henry Myers has been
employed as ad writer for the big
establishment for a dozen years does
not mean that in that time he has
not advanced. From simply follow
ing out the instructions of the own
ers of the store in placing advertis
ing in the local papers and in get
ting out circulars and posters, he has
advanced until today he is in com
plete charge of the preparation of
the advertising copy and the plac
ing of it.
1t can be said of Henry Myers that
his ads always ring true. He adopt
ed the motto for the store, Where
Quality Counts" and he made his
ads true to the motto. over the en-
trance to his handsome quarters in
the new home of the New York
Store hangs his own greeting, Wei
come in the Name of Truth
Confidence in Henry Myers ads
has lead many a woman to become
a regular patron of the New York
Store, for the wording of the adver-
not fail in catching the eye and
rousing interest. And when a pros
pective patron visited the New York
Store, drawn there by the advertise
ment of some particular sale or some
particular article, they invariably
found the truth had been stated in
the ad The success of the New
York store has been in no small
measure attained through truthful
advertising, of which Myers has de
monstrated himself to be an expon-
ent.
