(, SEEING THE GOOD 'UNS.

Messrs w. B. Burton, DIR. R. L.
Pontius and Squire J.P. Bourne are
the subject of the following sketch in
the Lexington Herald, occasioned by a
recent visit to lexington
Several prominent horsemen from
Central Kentucky were in Lexington
this week and paid visit to the local
track. They were Edgar T. Doty. of
Richmond, and w. b. Burton. DR..
Pontius and Mr.. Bourne of Lancaster.
Mr.. Doty is a saddle horse man, but
blossOmed out as a race driver last
season, behind Lord Rion 2 II 1-2 and
other trotters over the half mile tracks.
He Is preparing stable of show horses
! this season for the Kentucky circuit.
Mr.. Doty was very much pleased with
the two-Year-old saddle colt. Kentucky's
Ideal, in the stable Of Mat Cohen. The
colt is son of the greatest of all
saddle horses, Bourbon King, and his
dam is by the good sire Kentucky
Squirrel and though he has been in
Cohen's hands but short time, looks
like the making of high class horse
He is the property of w. o. Parks; a
well known young horseman-j journalist
of Richmond. Mr.. Doty formerly had
in his charge the much talked of show
mare, Regina Peavine, that Matlack &
Shropshire recently bought from Scud-
der, Walker & Wray, as the best mare
they could find to succeed their last
seasons crack, Hazel Dawn. Mr.
Burton is well known in Lexington,
having judged at the 1918 Blue Grass
Fair and he has also owned a number
of prominent show roadsters horses,
including Pharaoh, Riolada and DR.
Pontius, the last named of which WIS.
sold by Robert Mcreland to C. K. G
Billings. At present he has a promis
ing three-year-old PAGER in the stabl
, of William Harrison that is bein,
pointed for the futurities. He ha
been mile in 2:21 1-2 this season an,
) a quarter on 30 Is seconds"
Squire Bourne is also rapid
developing into full fedged horsema
and one or two good 'uns" are usual
to be found iE his barn.

TEACHERS
INSTITUTE
TO Be HELD in LANCASTER
CHAUTAUQUA WEEK.

At the earnest solicitation of County
Superintendent, Jennie Higgins, the
Department of Education has consented
that the Teachers Institute for Garrard
county might be held IN Lancaster DUR
ing the week of June 22nd, Chautau-
qua week.
This request was made by Miss Hig-
gins in order that sthe teachers might
have the benefit Of the Chautauqua,
and at the same time attend the insti-
tute, thus enabling them to combine it
into week both of pleasure and profit.
This action upon the part of our
thoughtful superintendent is very COM
mendable, and the teachers will certain
ly appreciate it. The Chautauqua meet
ing while entertaining, is also instruc-
tive, and tie teachers will derive much
benefit from attending. They should
secure season tickets, and will doubt
less be enabled to attend every enter
tainment without interfering with their
duties at the Institute. Those who
will be compelled to stay in town over
night had best make arrangements
for rooms in advance, as there will
doubtless be many visitors here, and
room and board will be at a premium.
The law requires the attendance of
every teacher at the Institute uuder
penalty or forfeiture of their certificate,
and even if this We're not the case, no
teacher should or can afford to miss
the literary and musical treat which
the week will afford.

Lives In St. Lawrence River.

On last Friday near Father Point,
about $50 miles from Quebec in the st.
Lawrence river. the Canadian Pacific
liner, Empress of Ireland was rammed
by Collier which attempted to cross
her bows, and sank in ninety feet of
water. So sudden was the accident,
that notwithstanding the fact that they
were near land, it was impossible. to
pass the word to the crew and
passengers in time to save them
selves before the vessel sank.
OF the 1867 people known to have been
on board the vessel, only 433 were saw
ed, and the death list numbers 934.
The IS. s.. sign was quickly given by
the wireless and readily responded, to
by nearby craft, but so sudden and
swift'was thesinrish of waters that
very little could be done toward their
assistance when aid arrived, on the
scene, the liner having sunk before
their arrival, and only~wreckage pand a

FLY DAMAGING wheat

Reports are coming in from the
lower part of the county that the wheat
crop in that locality is being con-
siderably damaged by the Hessian fly.
The crop of Mr.. Yates Hudson seems
to be the most seriously damaged so
far. 1t is sincerely hoped that our
otherwise splendid prospects for a
wheat crop will not suffer severely
from this late evil.

Motor Cars Sell
as Necessities
ny JOHN N. wILLYs.

THE sale of automobiles contin.
ues to-day in spite of the war
and the conditions it has created
In America, because cars are
bought on the same basis as any
other necessary article. The bust
ness man demands a car to-day be-
cause he believes it to be a ne
cessity. The recognition of its use
fulness has created a staple de-
mand which is continually stimu-
lating manufacturers to provide an
increasingly greater value.
Doctors, merchants and men In
all walks of business life are in
vesting their money In automobiles
for the benefits that will accrue In
the ownership of n car. The car
that will give the best return or
his investment is the ono that
makes a direct appeal to the bust
ness man. IL he did not get his
moneys worth in an automobile he
would put his dollars into some
thing else.
Using present conditions ms
criterion fully expect that moro
automobiles will be sold during the
next twelve months than ever be-
fore In the history of the industry.
