REWARD THE TRUSTEES

Senator Johnson y. Camden
writes the Kentucky Illiteracy Com
mission from Washington that he
will give $50 to the Trustee who. in
the judgment Of the Kentucky Hit
eracy Commission. aids in making
the best moonlight school in the
State. This prize will be awarded
on reports of campaigning done by
the trustee to secure attendance at
school. on the trustees own attend
ance. and other activities which the
trustee may perform toward making
the school q great success. There is
yet time for any trustee in the State
to compete for this prize. The sec
ond session of moonlight schools be-
gins October 9Th. and thousands of
such schools will open then, while
many others will continue their ses-
sions already begun. Senator Cam
den sent his check to the Commits
sion and the prize will be in the
hands of the trustee by Thanksgiv-
ing. Senator Camden also writes
his hearty endorsement of this
movement which he is watching
from Washington with interest.

A PRACTICABLE PLAN
TO GET RID OF GOPHERS

A farmer tells us that he has
practically rid his farm of gophers
by the use of gasoline. He carries
bottle and bunch of cotton bat
ting with him while working in the
field and when he sees a gopher run
into a hole, he pours some gasoline
upon a wad of cotton and places it.
at the mouth of the hole and covers
the opening with dirt. The gas
fumes are heavier than air and go
to the bottom of the hole. In an
attempt to get air. the gopher comes
to the top of the hole and the gas
does the rest. Rembve cotton in
about half an hour and Mr.. Gopher
will be dead. The plan will apply
to many other burrowing animals.

A WORTHWHILE MINER
CURSES NIGHT RIDERS
Tried For Breach Of The Peace
And Acquitted-BefOre
Grand Jury.

The jacksonville Hustler says:
Chas. Nolon, a miner employed by
the Nortonville Coal Co., was tried
in Judge Mills court by jury on
Thursday on the charge of a breach
of the peace and was acquitted.
1t appears that about two weeks
ago a party OF night riders visited
Nolon and gave him severe whip
ping. He thought he knew some of
them and decided to lay a trap. He
said nothing about being whipped.
but Went around the next day as If
nothing had happened. but armed.
He claims that several asked him
about the whipping and TO all such
he pressed them to know how they
knew about it, as he had told no
one.
Ii appears that he cursed them
one he found out for sure was in
the party.
\. X. Seats was one of the men
who asked him about the whipping
and Nolon gave him a good cursing
and threatened to get" him. Seats
asked for warrant for Nolon,
charging him with breach of the
peace and asking that he be put un-
der peace bond.
After hearing the evidence the
jury acquitted Nolon. Nolon is
married man. owns his home and
has saved some money. He appear
ed before the grand Jury and gave
what information he had as to the
night rider party and it would not
be surprising IL several indictments
are returned as Il result.

WAR MUST END S00N-.-
IT'S A MONEY MATTER
When Cash Runs Out, Fight
ing Must StOp-Immense
Sums Required.

Wars costs money. Human life is
not soldiers, but money. Therefore,
the length of the European struggle
will be determined by the cash and
credit resources of the contestants.
Following are some of the rea--
sons why peace should reign within
a year possibly within six months:
The Franco-Prussian War cost
France $2.77 per man per day. The
Boer War cost England CT or $4S6
per man per day. The Balkan War
figured $2.43 per man per day.
For the purpose of this discus
sion, We may as well disregard the
Boer War, owing to the long dis
lance from England to South Africa,
and the expense incidental thereto.
The most recent estimate, viz: tt4
of the Balkan War ($2.43). is the
best for our purpose because condi-
tons We're more nearly parallel to
those prevailing in the current I'M
pleasantness,' except that in the
Balkan War there were no fleets 81
Zeppelins and aeroplanes: no squad
rons of automobile trucks; no auto
mobile batteries; no fourteen-inch
siege guns or other expensive para
phernalia now being used. A very
conservative estimate of the per man
cost of the present war would there
fore be $3.50 per day. Just as this
article is going to press the state
ment is published that the cost of
Great Britain for AZ days of war il
officially reported at $166, $685. 900,
OF $3.S7O.OOO per day.
Including the full strength of the
six nations now at war and with the
possibility of Italy and Turkey be-
ing drawn into the struggle, there
VIII probably be, in round figures,
.".oOO,OOO men under arms. max
ing the net cost to all the nations
1000. 900 per day.
Now let us get into the realm of
billions for a few moments: Fifty
million dollars day is $1,000
100000 per month. $4,000, OOO,O
In six months. $4,000. ZOO, 900 a
year. This means that If the war
continues for IL months the com
oined debt of these nations will
nearly double. for it now stands at
$4,000, 900. 900.
In order to furnish perspective
We VIII mention the fact that there
are only $1,000. 600, 600 of gold

TOTHE OWNER OF BIG GUSHER
Many Ingenious Schemes Have
Been Tried To Put Out
Burning Well.
HARD PROBLEM OF OIL FIELD

Burning fiercely and lighting up
the countryside for 80 miles in ev-
cry direction. the Portrero del Llano
gusher. 1876 miles southeast of Tam
pico. Mexico, the greatest oil well In
the world, may become a total loss.
IL is feared that ii will share the
fate of the famous Dos Bocas gush-
er. which was one of the greatest
ever discovered. having a flow OF
more than 100000 barrels every "a
hours. The Dos Bocas was drilled
five years ago. and II was owned by
Lord Cowdray. 1t produced. under
restraint. not less than 100000
barrels day for long time, and
then caught fire from the Goals I'M
der the boiler of the drilling outfit.
Ii burned for three months. notwith-
standing the desperate efforts made
to extinguish the fire, and then fus-
ed its walls and is now lake of
salt water. boiling, always boiling.
and covering more than 80 acres off
the shore of Lake Tamiahua.
The Portrero gusher was brought
in" about three years ago. and the
oil shot up with such great force
that for long time 1t was thought
that it could not be controlled. II
flowed more than 10000 barrels a
day. and all efforts failed for sever
al months to cap" and control the
flow. BY the time this was done the
whole countryside for miles around
was drenched with oil. The small
canyons were filled with it and ev-
cry depression was a lake of oil.
Eventually an engineer constructed
a massive steel cap with a safety
valve which. after repeated failures,
was put in place. This cap allowed
"A flow of $1,000 barrels a day, and
the Portrero produced this amount
or as much more as was required,
for three years. Ii was never posi-
BILE to stop the flow entirely, as can
be done with the ordinary small
gusher. because the pressure from
below was so tremendous.
On August | > the Portrero sud
denly burst into flame. Several rea-
sons are given for the fire, but the
one accepted by the Eagle Petro-
leum Company and Lord Cowdray,
owners of the we'll. is that it was
done by unknown persons for the
purpose of Gripping the British oil
interests in Mexico so that they
could not supply the crude oil for
the home trade, which included
many of the vessels of the navy.
This act of vandalism, however, is
not accepted as the reason by most
of the producers in the Portrero
field. II is thought that it was an
accident, an inexplicable accident,
as most oil well fires are.
On September the great steel
cap was melted and the flames shoot
into the air now for several hundred
feet. The black smoke hangs over

liantly. II is impossible to get close
