Comes now another proof that the status of
Hawaii--a territory and an integral part of the
United States-is little known nor long remem,
bered on the mainland.
The National Geographic Society, consisting
Of ponderpus name entirely surrounded by
stupendous masses of gray matter, refers to Ha-
waii in a recent report as possession" The
Society's Bureau of Geographic Information be-
gins the report by saying, "The total number of
Islands under the possession of the United States
at the present time is sOOO," and proceeds to
lump the Hawaiian group with the other 1900
odd in the general class of possessions"

Wars cost in human lives and the integrity of
the race is well illustrated by the figures from
that part of Macedonia which has been allotted
to Bulgaria. The male population has been re-
dueed from 175,0O0sto 1880, and most of the
remaining males are old men and boys. Eth
nologists long ago discovered that the impress
of war is left for generations after peace has
come in the wake of battle The healthy adult
males are often nearly all killed and the fathers
of the race for a generation at least are youths,
old men and sickly adults. The result is always
a physical and mental .retrogression in the off
spring. And yet any movement toward an inter-
national agreement to limit armament and
standing armies is sneered at by the obstinate
apostles of militarsm

BOOK DEPOSITORY

The question of whether a general
depository for all text books to be
used in the common schools shall be
established or whether the books shall
be shipped direct from the publishers
to the local dealers for distribution
has not been determined. 1t is said
that esveral OF the publishing houses
which have secured contracts are op-
posed to the establishment of de-
pository, for the maintenance of which
they should have to pay Jointly.
II one is established, It will be either
in Louisville or Lexington. 1t Is said
a spirited fight is on for the position OF
manager OF the depository. T. w.
Vinson, secretary OF the Kentucky Ed
ucational Association, and former
County Clerk ]. A. Boone, of Winches-
ter. are mentioned for the place.
]. d. Williams & Co. were awarded
the contract for furnishing Potter's
Speller for use in the common schools,
and the Pennsylvania Book Co. got the
contract for the writing books, by the
State Text Book Commission. This
concludes the common school subject.

.sEvENTEEN.YEAR LocusTs
DUE AGAIN THIS YEAR.

The sF-year locust, last seen in 1897,
is due to reappear this year, according
to late bulletin sent out by the State
Agricultural Experiment Station at
Lexington, warning farmers and fruit
growers. The 17-year locust is harm
full because in the warm state it lives
by sucking sap out of the roots Of
trees and shrubbery and when the
eggs are laid, trees and plants on
which they are deposited die. The To-
Gust is the longest lived insect known
to scientists. Seventeen years ago the
eggs from which this years crop of
locust will be Matched We're laid on
trees and shrubbery. The eggs, after
three weeks, develop into worms,
which dropped from the trees and
burrowed into the ground where they
have lived since 1897 preying on the
roots of trees. During this month the
forms are expected to re-appear and
will develop into locust.

attempt TO KILL
AN ashland MAN
Three Persons Arrested for Alleged
Conspiracy in This Case.

Late on Wednesday night, June IT.,
Alfred Dingman, of Ashland, was
found on a porch in Russell, weak and
fainting from loss of blood, having
been shot in two places. After he had
revived Dingman told his story. He
said that Nose Crock, j. Jackson and
Norman Bay and he had boarded a
freight train for a ride to Russell and
that they intended to return to Ash
land on an east bound train. Just as
the train was passing the brick plant
a short distance below Ashland, Nor
man Bay drew gun and shot Ding
man without cause. Following the
shooting the other two and Bay jump
ed off the train and ran. Two Of the
shots took effect on Dingman and he
clung to the train in desperation until
he became so weak that he could not
hold out any longer. Then he let him
self fall from the train and made his
way to the home Of Mr.. Carter.
He was taken to the Kings Daugh-
ters' hospital inpAshland and there he
is now resting easily though both of
the bullets have not yet been located.
The wounds are not regarded as SER
from the loss Of blood to the man.
One of the shots took effect in the left
knee and the other one in the right
arm and the chest.
