WINTER FLOWING

Thousands of acres of sod land
will be turned this month in Ken
lucky if the weather permits. This
is always good practice, so that
the freezing and thawing will dis
INTRICATE the burrows. There are
two words we would like to suggest :
Pillow DEEP. Instead Of the reg
ulation five to six inches, which is
customary in this state, go seven
or eight inches. Hitch on one more
horse or mule for each inch below
six inches. Try field plowed eight
inches deep and see how much bet
ter the crop will stand next sum
mer's drought.
Some farmers are afraid to turn
up too much subsoil; in fact, many
fear to turn up any at all, hence
the same five-inch surface ground
is worked over and over, year
after year, depicting it of its phos-
phorous and potash. We need some
subsoil mixed in; it has elements
not used before, and if the sub
soil is loosened by real deep plow-
ing, we have porous reservoir to
hold the moisture for next summers
hot and dry weather And this
reservoir cannot be made too deep,

Why do so many women PHI

Why do so many women pine
around and sigh for better figure
and more beauty and perfect healthf
All of these things are possible to
the woman who will reach out and
grasp them. The one thing neces-
sary is exercise-the right kind of
exercise. And among the many
forms of exercise there is none
more productive of beneficial and
lasting results than fencing. The
woman who takes light foil In
her hand and makes a practice of
fencing for ten or fifteen minutes
every day will soon find that she is
rapidly ''limbering up," that the
bloom of health is coming to her
cheeks, and that her figure is as
Stunning the normal and desired
proportions. Try it daily for six
months and then note the result.
The doctor will not send you many
bills after that.

DIR. VANCE DIES

DIR. APP Morgan Vance, surgeon Of
international reputation, died at his
home in Louisville, Thursday after
noon from heart trouble. The vital
organ has been weakened for eight
weeks and the end was not unex-
pected. Members of the family
were at his bedside when the final
summons came.
His health had been declining
for a period OF two years. In
March, 1912, he was stricken by
hemorrhages of the nose. His ply
sicians had great difficulty in stop
ping the hemorrhages which left
the patient in a weakened condition
Kidney complications developed.
DR.. Vance gradually regained
strength, although he never fully
recovered. Eight weeks ago he be-
came bedridden and DIR. Ben Carlos
Frazier and Rowan Morrison, his
physicians, resorted to everything
known to medical science to save
his life, but he lost ground steadily
He himself realized his case was
hopeless.
/ In the passing Of DIR. Vance the
medical profession loses one Of its
foremost members. Among surgeons
his ability was recognized in every
quarter of the globe. He was one
Of the greatest surgeons of his day
and was well known to many Mt
Sterling people.

fling Off the corners with a Joyful
anxiety to be up and doing your part in
the march OF events?
Everything in the world. from plants
and flowers to birds and bees on up to
the scale Of humanity. has work to do
to put its particular section Of the uni

your share?
The work OF a human being may be
the simple task OF digging ditch or the
lofty and elaborate calculation that leads
to the discovery OF new star, What
ever your work is, rest assured Il has Its
part IN the scheme OF things. Perhaps
all your life long you will dig your ditch
! splendidly and well, aud yet rise TO no
bigger thing.
! Even " a material reward does not
come TO you. is there not a glowing sat
isfaotion in throwing off your covers and
rising with warm enthusiasm 70 your
ditch digging?" The actual conscious
ness that you have a part in the work
OF the world and that YOU are doing well
Is reward beyond any crown OF laurel.
No externals can ever matter as much
as the internal Joy of being at peace with
your own soul and knowing that you are
doing your actual best
In any machine the most trifling bear
ing may have as important place of
value as great as the huge whirllng belt
or powerful dynamo In the march OF
humanity to some goal we do not yet

place as the monsrchs OF the earth.
The work OF human being is splendid
and fine or poor and ignobie according
to whether It is done well or Ill., The

The folk who find work that is in &C

Alimony as Form of Graft

corded the means not only to 80 on liv- |
ing. but to find some enjoyment ana
compensation In life.
IF he has not this opportunity, IL the |
burden placed upon him is too grievous |
to be borne. all the incentive to labor is
gone When alimony is excessive It is
likely to defeat its own object. Il is 1
better for the divorced wife to be granted |
moderate alimony which will be paid |
than excessive alimony which probably !
will be avoided.
ANY adult person who receives benefits
from another without wishing and trying
10 return a full equivalent. Is grating,
whether such person be wife. child. hus-
band, friend or stranger. Grating is
taking without giving an honest equiva-
lent. The women and grown children of
our well-to-do middle class furnish rather
conspicuous examples Of this evil. It Is
not limited to certain class of office
holders"
And. again, he says;
while the divorced husband still re-
tains his right to find some enjoyment in
life. the woman who divorced him must
not expect TO go on enjoying all the
benefits that go with a happy and sue
cessful married life. She no longer per-
forms any reciprocal duty. There is no
obligation resting upon her as an equiva-
/ lent for maintenance. therefore she Is
not entitled to be luxurious charge upon
the income of the man to whom she
makes no return OF any kind"
The wife who has been left an invalid
through her hsuband's cruelty. or vices,
should be paid alimony until such time
as she is able to support herself; and
she should pray and work for that hour
of emancipation from a degrading de-
pendence.
For 1t is an undeniable degradation for
any woman 10 be supported by a man she
does not love, and whose companionship
she cannot endure.
There is so much talk these days OF
woman's expansion ana development and
growth. and such continual demand Is
made for an enlargement OF her sphere
Of ACTION. that the world is justified in a
critical survey OF her conduct.
All about us may be seen women who
are living on the money OF divorced hus-
bands. while they exploit themselves in
the society OF other men. The woman
who Is compelled TO accept the money
OF divorced husband In order 10 keep
from starvation. ought to feel her post
ton one which demands the utmost dig
nifty and clrcumspection.
She should be ashamed to appear In
public with any man unless he a an
avowed sutton for her willing hand; and
then that hand should refuse 10 close
over another mans money
But We even find women fighting for
the continuance OF alimOny OF one hus-
band. while planning marriage with an
other
surely such things lower woman's
status. and render her despicabIe Ia the
eyes Of the right thinking
Let our suffragists take thus matter nm

to feel confidence in his honor. How
any woman can permit a man of whom
she entertains such an opinion TO pay
her money is question for the emanci-
pated" to answer.
When such husband has left a child
to be supported it is reasonable and right
that he should DO his part toward the
maintenance OF that child; but the ma
jority OF women receiving alimony today
seem TO be chidless women. and Judge
Guy makes many pertinent comments re-
garding these women, as follows
In fixing permanent alinnony it should
be borne in mind that the husband. al

TO many persons II seems strange why
he moon always shows the same face to
he earth. The explanation is rather conf
licated. The moon owes the plight into
nch 1t has fallen. that of being COM
eaed to keep always the same face to-
ward the earth to a force known as
tidal friction" which Is a kind Of brake
anrl'ed 70, al bodies rotating on am axis
II tie presence OF another body that pulls
upon them by gravitation. The earth it,
self. feels this brake OF tidal friction,
which is screwed on, as II in vengeful
spirit, by the moon. and the time will
come when our proud planet will, in its
lurn, be compelled TO keep always one
face toward its now submissive, but then
Triumphant, satellite.
When that remote epoch arrives the
lay and the month win be of equal
ength, and the earth and the moon, star
ng into one anothers immovabIe faces,
will stiffly tread the solemn round about
heir common center OF gravity, as If
hey were pair of masks nailed to the
opposite ends of revolving rod.
That the tidal wave raised by the
noon in the earth's oceans should act
as a brake upon our rotating globe will
lows rolling in upon the shore when the
tide is rising. and reflect that their force
must, upon the whole, be directed in
opposition TO the earth's motion OF rota-
lion, for the general direction in which
the tide wave travels is from east TO
west, while the earth rotates from west
10 east The final result must be the
lenKthening Of the day. but the force Of
the tidal friction is so small relatively
10 the force OF the earth's rotation that
many millions Of years Will elapse be-
fore its effects become practically EVIL
dent.
But, you may say, If tidal friction is
30 slight how can It already have curbed
the rotation OF the moon? The answer
Is that il was not slight in It's action
upon the moon I'm the early stages OF It's
history. In the first place the tiaal force
OF the earth upon the moon Is about
eighty times as great as the tidal force
OF the moon upon the earth. This re
suits from the fact that the earth il
eighty times as heavy as the moon. In
the next place there Is little doubt thai
ages ago the moon was a mass OF molter
rock. revolving round the earth much
closer than II Is today. In fact. there Il

sequence was that, probably before it
had solldified. the moon lost nearly all
its rotationai motion around its axis, and
began to. keep one side always toward the
earth 1t may be that the globe of the
moon, when it's rotation was thus ar
rested, became permanently drawn out
into an egg-shapcd figure, having its
longer axis pointed toward the earth.
