SCHOOL BOOKS
TO Be EXCHANGED
Regardless OF Condition.

The following press dispatch sent out
from Frankfort would indicate that all
school books will be exchanged by
dealers for the newly adopted books at
the exchange valuation, regardless of
their condition. provided however they
are of the same garde.
Frankfort, Kv., July 27-Regardless
of conditions, text books belonging to
the children in the public schools of
this State will be traded to the book
companies at the contract price. AS a
result, BarksdaIe Hamlet, State
Superintendent of Public instruction,
said yesterday he would save the par
ents thousands of dollars.
Hamlet has decided that under the
act of 1914 all publishers will be re-
quired to take up and exchange books,
regardless of condition. provided they
are of the same grade. The ruling
was made to correct an impression that
has gone out that such books offered in
exchange would have to be in good con-
! ition.
Hamlett's Interpretation of the law
is that the "good condition" clause ap-
piles only to such books as are held by
dealers on their shelves, which OF
course, must be taken up by the con.
tractors at the original net prices.

WELCOME RETURN TO
AUGUST ELECTION

An old time Garrard county farmer
told Record man that he welcomed
the return of the annual August cleo
ton because of the fact that he would
again be able to raise turnips. Upon
being asked what the August election
had to do with the raising of turnips,
he informed US that it had always been
his custom. and custom handed down
for generations in his family, to plant
turnips on August election day, regard
less of weather conditions. and it was
his belief that unless this was done. no
turnips would be raised, and that since
the passing of the August election
years ago, he had neither planted or
raised turnips until this year. Other
people in the county are welded to the
superstition that you should "plant
your turnips the 25th day of July, wet
OF dry.

MATERIAL ADVANCE IN
AMOUNT OF LICENSE
CHARGED TENT
SHOWS.

Tent Shows" desiring to visit Ian.
caster in the future will not find such
good picking" as has been their want.
The City Council on last Monday order
ed the City Attorney to draw a substi-
tute ordinance for the one now in effect,
the substitute to contain such material
increase on this character of attrac-
lions () as will deter them from max
ing extended or frequent visits to Lam
caster in the future. Many of the
Council were in favor of making the
license prohibitive. but the views of
their colleagues prevailed and the
license was placed at such figure as
will permit only the best of these at
fractions to give exhibitions here in
future.
This class of shows has beer working
overtime in Lancaster here of late, and
the amount of money taken away by
them will amount up into the thous-
ands. Some of them are really good,
ShS OiC Ihot w do AClC ldol Wech lOE lIl-
stance, while to say that some of them
were bad, does not half express it.
However, there are a great many
people in Lancaster who enjoy going to
these better class of attractions oc-
casionally, and who do not have either
time, means or opportunity to get away
from home often to see better attrac-
tons, and besides all of US relish a
little recreation occasionally, and for
this reason a prohibitive license to
these amusements would be aninjustice
to many of our citizens, and for this
reason the license while substantially
increased, will be placed at such a
figure-as will permit the entrance of
the better class of tent attractions.

PROMINENT YOUNG
MAN SHOCKED
By Lightning During Mondays Storm.

During the severe rain and electrical
storm on Monday afternoon, Hiatt, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. o. T. Layton was
shocked by lightning and rendered un-
conscious for about an hour. However,
We are glad to state that he is fully
recovered from his experience and
suffered no bad results, with the ex-
ception of red mark on one of his legs
from the knee down tracing the course
of the electric current. The young man
was standing beside his mother in the
door of their home, and her arm rested
upon his shoulder when the bolt came.
No further damage was done in the
home, save the melting of the heads of
the tacks in the carpet in the path of
the bolt, nor did Mrs. Layton suffer
any inconvenience therefrom.

GARRARD co, NAN
A GERMAN "RESERVIST"
LEAVES to HELP PROTECT
"The Fatherland."

Mr.. John Arnold, who has been in
the employ of Mr.. R. thinner at the
Kengarlan hotel for the past six years
as baker, left quietly Sunday for
Cincinnati. Upon reaching that city
he at once reported to the German
vice Consul for service In the German
army in the present war. His services
were gladly accepted and he was as
signed to duty as wagon master, in
which capacity he served during part
of three years former army service,
and with which duties he is well &C.
quainted. Mr.. Arnold after perfecting
his plans, returned to Lancaster Sun
day night, informed his employer of
his intentions, and quietly and unob-
strusively packing his belongings, left
Lancaster for Cincinnati Tuesday morn
ing, leaving the latter place at o clock
Tuesday night for Lachen, Bavaria,
the point to which he has to report
for active service.
Such is the love of the average Ger
man for the ''fatherland'', and it is
not believed that any amount of money
would have tempted Mr.. Arnold to turn
deaf ear to the call of his country
when in need of his services. He has
been in this country nine years, six
years of which he has spent in Lancas.

A CLEAN UP WOULD
Be ADVISABLE.

We respectfully call the attention of
the City Council to the general condi-
ton of the alleys of the City of Lam
caster, and suggest that they take i'm
mediate steps to remedy the existing
conditions. Scarcely an alley in town
but that is blockaded by some old
wagon or other kind of rattletrap
vehicle to the imminent peril of
pedestrians who chance to travel them
at night, and in some instances max
ing it difficult for vehicles to pass
through them even in day time Many
of them are grown up With rank weeds
strewn with garbage and reeking with
vile odors. The STRAY pen" under
meath the water tower is a vast wilder
ness of weeds, equal to the BLACK
forest" of Germany and we very much
fear some dark crime will be committed
in Businesses unless it is cleaned up.
Seriously, such q condition of affairs
is menace to the health of the COM
munity. and the city authorities should
take steps to have these back streets
and alleys placed in a sanitary condi-
ton without delay

CAMDEN and BECKHAM
CARRY COUNTY
Wilson And Bullitt Lead
On Republican Ticket

Beckham carried Garrard county by
a handsome majority, with Stanley
second and McCreary bringing up the
rear. Stanley, taking all things into
consideration, made a splendid race in
Garrard county; he was comparatively
unknown here, his only introduction to
the people being the occasion upon
which he spoke here, and that speech
evidently gained him considerable favor
in the eyes of the people of the county
as is evidenced by the number of ballots
cast for him. Upon the other hand.
Gov Beckham, and McCreary are well
known here and have many warm
friends among the Garrard county
democracy, who left no stone unturned
in their behalf.
