For ParaIIax Investigation.

The last annual report of the OBJ
servatory of Yale university describes
the new instrument for parallax in
yestigation now being installed at the
observatory to replace the six-inch
heliometer heretofore used for such
observations. 1t consists Of a photo
praphic telescope of fifteen inches
aperture and fifty feet focal length. to
be mounted parallel to the earth's
axis Of rotation. Light from the celes-
tial bodies will be reflected on the
lens from a thirty-inch silver-on-glass
mirror, carried by an equatorial
mounting. This mirror will also di-
rect the rays of light to another lens
Of ten inches aperture, mounted close
beside the Photographic lens and hav-
ing it as the objective of the guiding
telescope. The star images in the
field will. Of course, revolYe about the
axis of the lens, and means have been
provided for rotating the photograph

Ed Morrow, as he is Familiarity
called by everybody, is q most attrac-
tive speaker, and of the platform is
the best handshaker, and wears the
happiest smile of any man in Ken
lucky, and II the Democrats make
any serious mistake in choosing their
candidate for governor, many a Demo
crat will hear Morrow's eloquent voice
and feel the magnetic persuasion Of
his cordial hand when they go into the
booth on November election day.
After the speaking, a number Of
Democrats, and ardent temperance
men, met Mr.. Morrow, and told him
that they agreed with him on the liq-
quor question, believing that the Coun-
ty Unit law was all that is needed to
Danish the saloon from pny county
where a majority of the people are
opposed to them. The resent wet and
dry election in Shelby county proved
to them that statewide prohibition Is
not necessary, for they voted out sa-
looms, and the county is now as dry as
a powder horn. At the same time
they do not want to destroy the vast
distilling properties in the state that
pay nearly a million dollars in taxes,
for II they do, they well know that
other property, already heavily taxed,
will have to take up that burden in
addition to what they now carry, and
that without accomplishing anything
for real temperance.
With state treasury already over
two million dollars in debt, the tax
payers do not fancy adding another
million on account of statewide pro-
hibition, for they know they will have
the whole thing to pay, in the end,
while the Office seekers who are
riding the prohibition issue can take
It easy. The bankrupt. neigh boring
states of West Virginia and Tonnes
see, each with a. debt 6f twelve mil
lion dollars and statewide prohibition,
are warning danger signals to thought
full people.

NEWMAN WITHDRAWS FROM
GOVERNORS RACE.

Frankfort, KY, June 25, 1915.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence.)- 1.-The with
drawal of Commissioner of Agriculture
J. w. Newman from the race for Gov
ernor was somewhat of surprise to
many, although il was conceded that
Harry McChesney. backed as he is by
the Anti-Saloon League and General
Percy Haley, had much the larger fol-
lowing among the extra drys," as Mr..
Newman expresses it. Evidently Mr..
Newman realized that he could not
make much Roadway as a state-wlder
against the candidate selected by DR..
Palmer, the Anti-Saloon League super
intendent, and o. KID by Senator
Beckham and General Haley.
Although Mr. Newman was the first
candidate to announce for Governor
on a statewide prohibition platform,
and had the endorsement of the w. C.
T. u. the pioneer temperance organi-
zatiOn OF the state, the powers that
were to direct the campaign did not
look with favor. on his candidacy. Mr..
McChesney was selected as the stand
ard bearer OF the prohibitionists. His
headquarters are busy, with a large
force Of clerks, and ample funds to
make an aggressive campaign.
In his card of withdrawal Mr. New
man says he has canvassed and
spoken In more than forty counties,
and has concluded that there are only
Two candidates for Governor who are
seriously considered in the race.
Though he did not mention names, 1t
is conceded that he meant Stanley and
McChesney Furthermore, he says the
Democratic party is facing a crisis

Cleanliness and Cash.

"The day has passed." says the bull.
letin Of the Chicago health depart
ment, when a dealer in foodstuffs can
keep a dirty. fiy-infested store and
hope to hold his trade. That this is
true is due to the fact that today ev-
cry housewife knows that flies carry
unspeakable filth on their feet and
that they leave 1t on whatever food
they are permitted to come In contact
with. And because this is true, the
careful, intelligent women are doing
their household marketing in clean

cleanliness counts for both cash and

How to Boost Clay City


Don't be the man who put sit in city
Building good houses builds good
town.
Save little money and save lot of
worry.
Good roads lead not only to town, but
to money.
Be live one and the town will never
be dead one
A nice front porch has prevented
many an old maid.
Why should the town muzzle dogs
and not knockers?
When someone plans to help the
town, plan to help the plan.
The best plans man can have to the
future are house plans.
A good way to make the world better
is to begin with the home town.
A town is like perambuletor it
isn't much good unless it is pushed.
Don't spend all yonr time telling
what you could do if you had, some
time.
Be like ball player. The thing
he isalways working for is home.
Be one of the leaders of the town, If
you can but, anyway, keep up.
Don't be crouch. Everybody in
this town wishes you well, even the
doctor.
Lets not be trying to stop something
all of the time. Let's start something.
A good town will do more to keep
the boys at home than good advice.
A town is like a girl. It's wonderful
what little fixing up will do for her.
Opportunity knocks once at every
mans door; better be at home when
the lady calls.
The world owes every man living.
but the street corner is poor collec-
ton agency.
Don't look for soft snaps the hard
snaps are the ones that have the ginger
in them.
Don't spend so much time talking
war that you haven't time left to talk
business.
If you would like to have somebody
working for you, put little money in
the bank
1t improves the soup to throw
little pepper into it. Same way with
a town
III you spend all that you earn, some
other fellow is banking your money.
Many a young man goes away to
seek his fortune when Fortune is seek
ing for him at home.
You've got to be a citizen in order
to vote; but you've got to do a good
deal more than vote to- be citizen.
There is only one better man than the
man who get behind and pushes, in an
effort to improve the town, and that's
the man who goes ahead and pulls.

The Spur Of Necessity.

Freedom to do exactly as one chooses,

be done and are given into our hands
TO be accomplished

38 BOYS IN COUNTY
CORN GROWING TEST
School Superintendent Shambaugh
Tells of Progress of COMPETE
tion in First Annual Report

Thirty y-eight farm boys have entered
the corn and potato growing contests
which have been inaugurated In Dau-
phin county under the jurisdiction of
Professor F. E. Shambaugh, superin-
tendent of the county schools.
The Telegraph set the pace to boost
this competition among the youthful
farmers of the county by Offering
handsome prizes. The other local pa
pers followed suit. In speaking of the
corn and potato contests Mr.. sham
haugh says in his first annual report,
issued to-day:
Corn and potato growing contests
We're maugurated, thirty-eight boys
being entered. Handsome prizes were
onered by the three Harrisburg pa
pers, the Telegraph. the Star-Inde-
pendent and the Patriot. as an induce
ment to stimulate interest in this i'm
portant work. Many of the teachers
Tailed to take the proper interest in
these contests. with the result that the
number of entrants was smaller than
VIC had hoped it would be.
ITO overcome any possibilities of
having a teaching force, inadequately
prepared to carry out a progressive
program tentative plans have been
made for conducting a training school
Tor rural teachers during the summer.
IN which the major portion of the time
Will be devoted to methods, manage
ment, and organization of rural schools
and rural sociology. The plans also
include model school in charge of
two, expert teachers. The rural schools
have largely suffered through the fact
that their best-trained teachers who
secured their training and experience
at the expense of the rural schools
are working city-ward and to those
places where urban conditions are
usually more pleasant than the isoIa-
tion existing in some rural COM
munities. We believe that a training
school of the character mentioned
above will remedy the deficiencies too
often found in the rural teaching force.
1t is an unfortunate fact that so many
teachers view their work simply as n
commercial proposition.
ITO inspire the teachers of this type
we have borrowed an idea fom that
great temperance force, The Flying
SQUADRON and similar organization
country to preach the gospel of bet
ter schools.
Vocational schools were organized
In Williamstown, Wiconisco and Ly-
kens. Most of the courses elected
were along the line of practical min
ing.
There are 315 teachers in the
county Reports from most of them
show that more than 1900 persons
visited the schools during the past
year. There are III schoolhouses
with a total of 325 rooms. The 16
high schools have made notable prog
ress in the way of improved courses,
equipment and higher standard of
teachers. Millersburg will add a
teacher of commercial branches to it's
high school faculty. The superintend-
ent made a total of $50 visits to the
schools under his Jurisdiction"
