TAKE 1T BACK DAY"
A Kentucky Notion Worthy Of Wide
Imitation

In town down in western Ken
lucky not long ago the citizens cele.
brated take it back day" In conse
quenee. it is stated. many articles
that had been borrowed were taken
home and some of the residents en-
tered so fully into the spirit Of the
occasion as to take back" unkind
words that they had spoken OF. their
neighbors.
Take il back day is not bad in
stitution. The habit Of borrowing is
rather well developed in most small
towns. Unfortunately the taking
back habit is not so much in eyt
dence Those who are quick TO Dor;
row are oftimes slow TO rem n.
There are some who are punctilious
about taking back but the great
majority are disposed to be forgetful
or Negligent
Take il back day ought 10 be
worth something as a neighborhood
harmonizer and as a medium for pro
noting The get-together spirit which
is so important 10 the progress and
the general welfare Of city town or
community.-Louisville Courier Jour

up a peace. On the contrary. he dis

distracted country in another revolu-
ton. but. if possible. provoke friend
