There have been circulated at vari-
Gus times alleged copies of the oath
taken by persons initiated into the
Knights of Columbus. Most persons
who read the pledge were fair minded
enough to realize that it was fraud

Philadelphia and one man at Water
vile, Mimi, have been convicted of
criminal libel as result of its circu-
lation. 1t has been spread all over
the country for political purposes. In
California it attracted the attention
of prominent Masonic organizations
which appointed committee to in
vestigate the oath actually used in
the Catholic order. The finding was

Organize Clubs in the Schools
Plan Successfully Carried Out in Other Sections
Has Been Initiated in This Valley

During the past week w. E.
Vaplon, state leader of boys and
girls club work, and E. H. Thomas,
valley agriculturist, have organized
10 clubs in this valley and an effort
will be made to secure 25 or 30
clubs in all. When the clubs
come together in the fall to CON-
pare results of their labor during
the summer it should prove to be
most interesting meet, and ap-
propriate prizes should be offered
for the best products of the boys
and girls endeavor. This could
be made the most attractive feature
of our county fairs.
A part of the government appro-
priation for extension" work has
been applied to the work of organ
izing and assisting these rural
clubs, and the valley agriculturist
should be freely called upon for
advice and help.
Where the young folks on the
farms are trained in the idea that
"agriculture' is just another word
for hard work" it is small won.
der that the majority form the in
tention of going to the city to live
at the first opportunity. If the
boys and girls clubs make scien-
tihc farming attractive and fill the
young people with love for the
most healthful and remunerative
employment, then they shall have
performed one of the highest mis-
sions in the formation Of fine man
hood and womanhood.

One Of the best movements ever
undertaken in an agricultural way,
and one which is bound to make
farm life attractive, is the plan of
organizing boys and girls clubs
among the rural schools These
clubs have for their purpose the
raising of the best pigs, the best
potatoes or the best garden by
boys, and the girls enter into com.
petition in sewing, baking or can
ming. Boys and girls between the
ages of 10 and Is may form club
to follow a certain pursuit and
there may be several clubs in each
rural school, such as pig club, !"
potato club" gardening club" :"
etc. Competition for the best sue
cess is first carried out between
members Of the same club, and
then it is proposed to hold valley
and state meets to give prizes to
the ones who have made the best
records among all the clubs
In other parts of the state where
these rural clubs have been organ
lied substantial prizes have been
given. In Logan county school
boy was awarded top buggy for
the best acre of corn grown in that
section, and this also won him a
trip to Washington for being the
best acre in the state. On the
western slope member of rural
club raised over 700 bushels of
onions to the acre, while the aver
age had been about 300 bushels to
the acre.

A BILL has been introduced in the Leg
islature at the instigation of one of Ken
tucky's most admirable women; wo-
man who has done as much or more to
wipe out illiteracy in the State than any
other one person within its confines.
The object of the bill referred TO is TO
create an illiteracy commission TO inves-
tigate the standing Of Kentucky in the
matter of adult illiteracy and TO aid in
eliminating it This measure will carry
no appropriation. but calls for voluntary
service and is one of the most humane
measures that has ever been offered to
the General Assembly. II we can af-
ford Fish and Game commission, a
Library commission and various other
com missions, surely we can afford one
TO interest the teachers and people oil
Kentucky in aiding and enlightening the
adult illiterates of the State. The Gil
max predicts easy sailing for the meas
ure, as its passage will not take from
the treasury one penny, and we cannot
believe a single Representative will cast
his vote against a measure of such vital
importance, especially when 1t does not
incur any expense on the tax payers Of
the State.

1t is almost the universal opinion. The
Farmers Union of this county, an or
ganization numbering nearly if not fully
1000 representative farmers of this coun-
ty, held meeting in this city Monday
of this week and by resolutions entered
protest against both the sale OF the
farm and the cutting down of the appro-
priation. We have this information di-
rect from DIR. Martin, the organizer and
earnest worker for that organization.
We trust, too, that the annual appro
priation will not be cut down. Already
President Crabbe and the Board of Reg
ents have made their plans and laid the
foundation for great institution for the
boys and girls who cannot hope for an
education elsewhere, upon the basis OF
the original annual appropriation, and
the cutting down of this would be a Sc
rious blow No funds have been m ;sappro-
priated; no extravaganza in management
has been shown. Until these things take
place, why enact any revolution which
may cripple the institution? Ninety pei
cent. of the Eastern Normal students
go back TO their homes better educated;
trained TO think and with higher and
nobler ideals of life and good Citizen

DR.. Horton's Lecture Monday
Evening.

In the Epworth League course OF lee
lures being heard from time to time ii
the Methodist church of this city. DIR
B. c. Horton, pastor of that church, de-
livered Monday night one of the mos'
entertaining lectures that has been
heard in this city for many day. His
subject, "Some Pictures Seen in Home
ly Gallery" was catchy and attractive
one and he handled it in mastery way.
It was delight from start to finish.
The speaker showed himself an artist
in protraying real life. His pictures
were so vivid that his audience saw and
heard what the pictures represented.
Some of his pictures were so ridiculous
ly funny that the audience was convuls-
ed with laughter. We can still see and
hear the preacher with Asthma sailing
down the street through rain and dark
ness with his made-up rain coat on.
Another picture was of an invalid hus-
band in Pullman Car with the wrong
man forgetful of the mustard plaster.
DR.. Horton portrayed pictures of the
sublime until his audience felt lifted up
till only the high and holy seemed worth
while.
The speaker impressed upon his hear
ers the great influence that pictures ex-
ert in the home and that they not only
help mould home character, but that
the lesson taught by the picture reveals
in unmistakable terms the character of
the one who possesses or admires. the
picture.
The lecture throughout was greatly
enjoyed by those who heard it. Those
who failed to hear it can never know
how much they missed.

found Inspector Hamilton with the re-
ceiver in his hand debating to Ser
geant Matthews, who was standing

was a police plot.

when an envelope which contained
money and a slip was put under her
door in Salisbury avenue. she started
