Stop Thief!

1t used to be true that people in this country did
not have to lock their doors
We are afraid this is true no longer. There seems
to be an increase of stealing
And stealing is a mighty thing 1t is not
only loss, but inconvenience to find your things
gone 1t casts suspicion upon innocent people 1t leads
to all other meaness and crime.
The fundamental way to stop stealing is through
plain instruction from parents and teachers. Children
have TO be taught tell the truth and respect the
rights OF Others

One Way To Cure Nerves.

The manner in which Lever treats OF

Berea's Closing Year-and Next Year

In the year just closed Berea College has enrolled
some fifty students less than last year This has been
because of the lack of accommodations. Many hundred
have been turned away But the number in continuous
attendance term by term and week by week. has been
about fifty greater than last year. And the number of
students who from great distances is remarkable.
We think other school brings many students from
outside the state into Kentucky

Pllage in the Balkans

Although war is officially ended
among the Balkan States, there is
no peace. The changes Of bound
aries which resulted from the
treaty Of London and the creation
Of Albania as an Independent state,
are sand o. be responsible for the
new era of struggle and butchery.
Armed bands infcst the country
and burn and pillagc without mercy.
They claim TO be acting under re-
llgious inspiration and Christian,
Turk. Mohammedan Greek, Bulgar-
lans and Roumanians are all en-
gagged in wholesale devastation.
Prince William, Of WED. the new
ruler Of Albania, finds his royal
honor rather uncertain and his rule
Is seriously threatened by vigorous
rehellions, Many political and re-
llgious factions are involved in the
Balkan disputes and the compli-
Gated interests Of so many parties
make all hope Of a peaceful settle
ment very remote.

Joseph Henry Taylor, pioneer
hunter, trapper, author and edi-
tor was born of Quaker parents
in Chester county, Pa, in l843.
He was a soldier in the Unien
army of the Civil War. At its
close he went to Colorado and
New Mexico; spent the years of
1867 in Iowa and Nebraska
and lived the rest of his Life in
Dakota. He edited the first demo
cratic paper, in Dakota territory
which was published at Yankton.
1t is about this time. that the
romance of his life began, and
ended by the girl marrying the
other fellow. This so changed Mr..
Taylor's aims and purposes in
life that he came up the Missouri
river far from civilization to be
a hermit. He trapped and hunted

tribes of Indians, becoming ac-
quainted with the soldiers and
civilians stationed atstlle forts,
the crews, and officers of the
steamboats, ON the river and the
men at the wood yards that fur
nished fuel for the boats. The
time, the place, and the asso-
ciaticn of the different characters
in the drama of civilization fur
nished ham with material for his
books. His living forty years in
this part of our country was the
link between the uncivilized, the

Races Here about June 9th

The Southern Maryland Fair Asso-
citation have sold their property near
this town to some Baltimore men head
ed by James O'Hara, who will put the
track in condition to hold Today race
meet beginning on or about June 9th.
From reliable sources we have learned
that the promoters intend building a
mile track and holding 80 days racing
here each year.
The Government has a lease on a
portion of the property, but this will
not be disturbed except the tobacco
barn, which will have to be removed to
make room for the west end of the mile
track.
The price paid for the property was
$4,000, one half of which was paid in
cash. 1t contains 1856 acres and can be
converted into one of the finest tracks
in the country, as there is plenty of
room for track, stables, grandstand,
paddock and necessary buildings.
The management will be Maryland
men.
