Only One Arrest

Since the saloons Of Bowling Green
were closed April 30, there has been
but one arrest, and that was of a
man being held awaiting officers
from Florida. The police report
that not single man was seen on
the streets Of the city in an intoxi-
Gated condition Saturday night. II
is said that the liquor men express
a desire 10 see the laws strictly en-
forced and especially the extreme
penalty for "bootlegging." IF you
make me quit, then make every 9TH
er fellow quit"
Fire Insurance
All plans TO settle the dispute be-
tween the State Of Kentucky and the
foreign fire insurance companies
have failed. State University is soon
TO place $350,OO0 of insurance and it
is a question whether any of the
three companies now operating in
the state will take il. II these COM
panies, the Henry Clay OF Lexington,
the Great Southern of Louisville and
the Standard of Hartford, refuse TO
insure the university, il will be nee
essary TO transact the business
through Eastern brokers and this
involves an extra expense of four
per cent.
Seven Counties to Enter Local OPP
ton Campaign
The Ministerial Association met at
Lexington Monday morning and the
statement was made that the coun-
ties Of Franklin, Fayette. Bourbon,
Clark, Montgomery, Anderson and
Shelby are planning a simultaneous
campaign to secure prohibition. The
recent county unit law makes pros
poets for success brighter than ever.
The ministers of the association
are making plans to hold union
meetings and make the work Of the
church as effective as possible in
securing the election.
State Will Get Mine Rescue Station
Representative Caleb Powers has
been largely instrumental in secur-
ing the establishment OF mine res
cue station in Kentucky. He intro
duced a bill TO establish stations at
pineville and Harlan at a cost Of
s26.500 each, and the Department of
the Interior has recommended that
one Of these stations be built, but so
far does not attempt to fix its loca-
ton.
Prisoners to Get Back Pay
Judge Stout, in the Franklin Cir
cult Court, ruled that prisoners in
The Kentucky penitentiary shall re-
ceive back pay for their services,
under the prison labor contract law
from June IS, 1910, when the law al
lowing them compensation went into
effect, until August 4, 1912, when
they were just given pay.
The amount involved is 100000,
estimating on the present basis OF
pay, which aggregates about $4,000
per year.
Sunday School Day a Success
The work OF the Kentucky Sunday
school Association and the procla-
nation of the Governor brought
thousands Of people out TO Sunday
school in all parts Of the state. In
some places the attendance was re-
ported TO he forty per cent greater
than the enrolment. 10000 people
Of Louisville were in Sunday school.
The figures are not yet complete,
but il is expected that the numbers
will not fulfill the associations ex-
pectatiOns Of having half the pop
ulatiOn Of the state in Sunday school.
But much good was done and
foundations were laid for greater
work in the future.
Rev. Joplin, State Superintendent
of Sunday School Association spent
the day in Berea, making six address
SEES, the last Of which was before the
students of the college in United
Chapel at night.
