CLOSING OF BUENA

Tuesday an all days meeting was held
at the school, a most delightful dinner
was served by the patrons and friends
of the school. The speakers of the day
were DR.. E. c. McDougle of Richmond
Prof. John E. Calfee and DIR. Z. c.
McAllister of Berea.
Monday night play was given by
the grades and Tuesday night play by

these plays were splendidly given, re-
flecting great credit upon those who
took part and upon the teachers who
trained them. The entire faculty was
reelected for next.year which means
success for the school in the future.

GET RID OF RATS.

There are few farmers who have not
had experience with rats about their
place and who have not experienced
loss of grain and young poultry from
them. Rats do a great deal OF damage
but the greatness is not, as a rule fully
realized because they work unseen,
stealing their feed at night little at q
time. On large farm where many
chickens are kept few chicks taken
each night are sometimes not missed.
This is true in the corn bin. also. but
when the loss due to rats is added up it
is found in most cases. to be many dol
lars. The number of rats tina, may
live on an ordinary farm is astounding.
writes one man. He says that on one
1000 acre tract where the rats were
Systematically destroyed by traps.
poisons and ferrets, 1900 were count
ed and that did not include the 5000
that were killed short time before by
the threshes at threshing time.
When We think of the great number
of rats hidden under our barn and that
each one of than is living on the grain
that we have harvested we should not
hesitate to make an active campaign
to.rid the premises of them.
The indirect loss due to rats is often.
and sometimes a great deal more. i'm
portant than the direct loss, for they
are known to carry certain disease. In
our fight against hog cholera it would
be well to see if there are any rats
about. If there are the hog houses,
corn CRIB and in fact all the out build
ings about the place should be made
as near rat-proof as possible. Where
cement foundations can be put in this
should be done not only because they
are rat-proof; but because it makes a
splendid lasting building material.
Even though the buildings may be rat
proof the use of some good poison to
kill rats is advisable.

You NAV rest assured that every city
in Kentucky has. too, heard of Tanlac.
Il can only account for the great
demand for this preparation by the
fact that it is good medicine. That
is proven by the numerous statements
from those who have tested the medi-
cine in cases of catarrhal affections. or
stomach, liver and kidney complaints,
and are now convinced Of its excellent
merits. The public has not been slow
to appreciate the Tanlac merit.
Practically SIS. 900 worth of Tanlac
has been sold and distributed through

ROAD BUILDING.

In an editorial discussing the Dixi,
Highway the Louisville Post very
sensibly says;
1T is not the through traffic Of
pleasure-seekers that is important;
it is important that by -oad build
ing we break down the isolation Of
farm life, and that we reduce the
cost Of marketing farm products.
remembering that today the initial
cost of transportation for wheat.
tobacco fruit and vegetables. to the
nearest open market is the most i'm
portsnt part of il all. "
This is the milk in the cocoanut.
Good roads are primarily needed FOR
the people who have TO use them for
business purposes They save time.
money and trouble. They increase the
value of land. bring the farmer in closer
contact with the market. the church
and the school. They are an industrial
necessity. they are built by taxstion
upon the people who get the most good
out of them. There would be no high
way like the proposed Dixie road sim
ply for the through travel Of automo.
bile people. but they are not built for
that purpose. They are arteries OF
trade and commerce like the railroads,
and while the automobile has the use
of them, they are not primarily built
for tina; purpose. We are heartily in
favor of the Dixie Highway and we
want it to come through our county.
for the reason that it will mean a
splendid road. increase the value Of
the land adjacent. and help to build up
Garrard county in many ways.

Plans are being rapidly eonsummat-

be held in Danville April SOth. 1t will
be remembered that such an event was
staged in that city some five or SIX
wears ago. A rainy day and other un-
favorable conditions detracted very
much from the former effort. although
all participants and spectators were
pleased. Invitations have been sent
TO all high schools IN the state. Due
TO the fact that track work is so poorly
rewarded small percentage Of the
high schools in Que state have track
team. The object therefore is to
arouse a greater interest in this branch
Of athletics which is SO fundamental.
