Rather curiously, some of the new
outing coats are fashioned upon the
style of the misses low belt dresses.
With their new rippled flare and sash
they possess lines becoming both to
short and to tall women. Rah-rah cloth
is a popular fabric for sporting coats,
and it combines prettily with other
materials.
SeiViceabIe Spring Frocks.
Just at present we all face the prob
lem Of selecting street clothes for
spring that shall be both pretty and
practical The number of fabrics
shown complexities the problem.
OF all the materials, however, three
seem to be particularly fitted for all
around wear-serge, silk plaid and tai
feta.
Serge frocks are shown trimmed
with sashes of Roman silk Others
have entire overskirts and at least
half Of the blouses constructed of this
material. However, the Roman silk
has been somewhat used already, and
promises to become rather ordinary
A distinctive gown of blue serge, cut
in pretty, long lines and adorned with
black silk braid, although quieter, ex-
presses more individuality.
Roman SILK and Chiffon.
The Roman silk can be carried out
effectively by using it for an entire
gown, with a tunic of chiffon, edged
with a band of the silk The chiffon
should be of the predominating color
in the silk

soft Japanese bow. There is a little

The bottom of the kimono, three-quar-
ter sleeve is daintily adorned with a

from under which protrudes q little
white organdie cuff. edged with lace.
At this time Of the year people who
dance are likely to be thinking about
new frocks. The old ones may be
| somewhat shabby, and then one tires
of wearing the same frock too often.
With the coming of spring many at
tractive ideas appear for evening
gowns.
One, for instance, is a dress of al
most any colored satin, draped over
with net. Several flounces arranged
in bouffant effect and edged with an
inch wide silver tinselled ribbon may
adorn the skirt. A similar ribbon. only
| five inches in width, is draped loosely
around the belt, crossed in the back.
and draped over the founces on the
| hips, finishing in an artistically knot
ted loop rather low over one side.
Wreaths made of small June rosebuds
and forget-me-nots, when placed over
! rose, blue or white chiffon, or over
black velvet. adorn an evening gown
most attractively.
Such a garniture of chiffon and flow
ers can be easily arranged over 4
gown already worn. Chiffon does not
always require an expert to drape it.
Almost any woman with an artistic
sense can use it to help herself out of
a difficulty.

Hits the Nail on the Head

The Estill Tribune a modern
good roads booster, in speaking
of the benefits of good roads and
other things, sensibly concludes
by saying:
"This town and county will
never progress very much farther
until the public roads are in-
proved, and very greatly improv-
ed.
Talk about car shops, railroad
yards, factories, and the like,
they are all good in way, but
nothing will insure the real, per
manent prosperity of this county
until we have good roads. "-Es-
till Tribune.

To cut productIon OF Liquor.

Many Of the big distlllerles of
the. state have announced that
they will run only half time tins
year. They say there is an over
production Of liquor now IN the
warehouses, and that the high
prices of corn appears to them
an inopportune time to load up
any further.
Could it be possible that this
decision of theirs is in any way
responsible for the decline of
corn? One thing is sure, if the
corr is not used up in making
whiskey, it must he sold for
feeding purposes. In this way
it looks very Reasonable that the
chill in the wbiskey business is
at least partially responsible for
the decline in corn.
Limiting the output of the big
distillerles ofthe countries looks
peculiar too atthis juncture. 1t
being the new era epoch, when
counties and states are so fast
going dry. Sill the vets tell us
the consumption of whiskey in
creases as the.temperance wave
spreads. In the face of all the
circumstances, we are inclined
to believe that, to small degree

hibit," the gifted advocates of

Gives Timely Warning.

Our correspondent at Stanton
has a rigorous and scathing arti
Gle this week on the dance. This
is one subject that the editor is
not well verse1 upon, as we new
err gave the subject any special
study, and never attended a
dance in our life, therefore we
have never seen a set danced.
Our scribe has it pictured in very
bad light. We have heard other
ministers speak of it in similar
manner. We know of a number
of nice people, respectable peo-
pie, who do attend well-regulat-
ed balls and feel that they do
themselves no harm. We know,
however, from all of what we
have heard of some dances it
must be as Bro. Derthick pic

the indulgence of the dance.
Like the Stanton minister, the
editor believes the dance is bet
ter left off, even though we may
now have a number of harmless
dances during the season, we see
and know that the tendencies
are not pure, and later some Sc
rious evils may result. Some adj

GOOD Place After An.

We sometimes think Clay City
is very poor newspaper town,
but when we observe some of
our most worthy exchanges we
change our mind. We know of
four or five local papers publish
ed in good towns that carry no
local merchants advertising at
all while others have but one or
two. In every instance, howev-
er, the banks of these towns pat
ronize the home papers advertis-
ing columns. The Times is far
better off than this. We do have
all the time no less than five
merchants in the county repre-
sented in our advertising col,
umns, besides our bank and 9TH
er business. Come Ia think a.
bout it, guess Clay City is Il pref.
~ good newspaper town after
all. At least as compared with
some other towns the same size
or larger.

Railroad Indicted.

We see where the L. d n. rail-
road has been indicted at Win
chester in two cases for obstruct-
ing the public highways In Clark
county, one of them in Winches-
ter. We are glad to see this
road made to observe the law
somewhere sometimes or pay the
penalty for not so doing. This
road seems to have free right in
Powell. Not many months ago
this road blocked "A street crossing
in this city for an hour and half
or more, and there was inter-
cepted a well-known lady who
was sick and was bringing a sick
child to the doctor for treatment.
The sun was shining hot and the
child was nearly overcome with
heat. There was no prosecution
for this offiense. And strange,
further to say, the road had not
even the sign of RAILROAD cross
ing" as the law provides at this
place. At Bowen last fall, We
have been informed, a train or
some cars at least, remained a
cross the road ten hours or more,
and nothing has been said or
done about that. Another vio-
lation of law on the wholesale
scale was In the complete oblit-
GRAFTON last fall of signs ''Rail-

Seeing the Error Of His Way.

Last fall when the amendment
to change to Constitution so as to
classify property for taxation
was before the voters, the Times
warned them against the amend
ment. We believed then the
change was to give an even
greater opportunity for corpora
ton tax dodgers to get in their
cheat and swlndles., A bill was
prepared to be passed by the
Legislature, thinking that the a.
mendment which passed was
good, but which has since been
declared illegal by the Court of
Appeals on account of the length
of time the amendments were ad-
vertised.
Secretary of Agriculture New
man, who was last fall for the
amendment, now sees like the
Times saw then and still sees. To
the Legislative Committee on
Revenue and Taxation last week
Mr.. Newman said that in his o.
pinion, and that of many farm
ers of the State, based upon what
they had read IN the newspapers,
the bill looking to a change of
Kentucky's tax system, as at
present drawn, will afford no re-
lief to the farmers as class. He
claims the farmers are paying an
excessive share of taxes under
the present system. He declared
that no provision whatever, so
far as he could learn, had been
made whereby owners of intangi-
BILE property would be made to
bearstheif josh proportion Of the
Tax borden. He SAID that until
some system had been devised
whereby hidden wealth would be
brought to light and taxed at a
fair cash value: the owners Of
tangible property, like the farm
ers Of Kentucky, would continue
10 ''be the goats".
Mr.. Newman said the farmers
knew that all the jewelry in JEFF.
ferson county had been valued at
1854, 600 for taxation purposes in
the returns of the Assessor, but
that any afternoon one could wis.,
it the Seelbach rathskeller and
see diamonds to that value dis.
played upon persons seated n
bout tables.

EXECUTION SQUAD
 IN SECRET SERVICE
Sergeant Rosenburg Willing to Kill
 Elm, But Not Fatally

Equipping an army is big job. get ting the army is bigger one, but the most difficult task of all is getting men capable of leading the fighters on to victory. Director Maitland Davies has just experienced the latter diff culty in getting army officers for Secret Service" the Elks' annual show which opens tomorrow evening at the Elks theater for run of three nights.
 Secret Service requires the assist ance of a number of soldiers, and to secure men of bravery and strategy Director Davies has had to study the qualifications of a large number. Out of many available, he has chosen A Rosenberg for the important post O sergeant.
 Rosenberg will have command of tho guard, which frequently enters on tht scene and takes some one out to bt shot al sunrise for disloyalty to tn, Confectionery. He has six trusty mel with rifles, who obey his every com mand. and do it with the trained dis cipline of the veteran.
 This is no first-class business fol me. for I am not much of fighter, said Sergeant Rosenberg last nigh while waiting for his turn at the re hearsal. q don't think much of thi' fighting business. but as long as it i.
