GARRARD BOY HONORED.

Grover c. Wilson, of Paint Lick. XIV,
was recently elected President of the
Patterson Literary Society. one of the
leading Literary Societies of the
University. This is a much coveted
honor and happy is he who can measure
up to the standards thereof.
This election is rounded out by long
continuous series of honors which might
well be envied by any man. The
writer does not propose to extend him
SELF on the good things that might be
said concerning each and every import
ant event connected with MIR. Wilson'S
stay at State bus will withdraw in
favor of his extraordinary record
which speaks FOR itself as follows.
The Lanier Medal 1911, for oratory;
The Crum Medal 1913. for Declaiming;
Barker Short Story Prize 1914. Bennett
Prize 1914; Freshman Debating Team;
Sophmore Debating Team; Varsity De-
batting Team against Vanderbilt; 'As-
sistant Librarian for two years.
He made the regular four years High

at the same time making his way. One
year he made forty-five dollars per
month and carried his regular work.
He is now candidate for the Rhodes
Scholarship whereby he has a good
showing for the folty-fve hundred dol
lars scholarship at oxford. England.
Is Senior Glass Orator. Has been in
school for six years and has not missed
class. which the writer considers one
of Mr.. Wilson, greatest achievements.
This one thing is characteristic of the
man. He is very prompt, conscientious
ard energetic.
A long article might be well written
concerning any one of the above named
accomplishment but at present it will
suffice to say that not only Garrsrd
county but even Kentucky might be
proud of such promising son.

who hopes that the appended epistle
will give additional impetus to the Roy

dictatorship at this place;
Mr.. Francis Bacon.
Commissioner Boy Scouts.

Dear Mr.. Bacon:
In replying TO your request Of recent
date, relative 10 my personal obscrya.
tion Of the Boy Scout organization o. a
factor for good and for a refining in.
huence upon "the boy Of today" YOU
will permit me TO acknowledge the re-
ceipt Of your communication.
For the past three or four years We
have had associated with the Patrick
Henry school several Boy Scout troops.
During that time. almost daily. have
been in contact. both directly and in
directly with these boys. and can say
| have never known one Of them who
was intimately associated with and
active in the movement that did not rep
resent an improved type Of coming
manhood. We sc that these bows are
not only taught the attraction, the
beauty. and love Of nature and out-do
life. but We find they are better students
in the school. more respectful 20 their
teachers. more considerate Of their
classmates. more thoughtful Of hu-
manity, and more obedicnt TO their pa
rents
Many instances have come under my
observation during the past few years
that have proved 10 me that boy con
nected with the scout organization has
laid rs corner stones Of his character
some Of the most promising virtues OF
manhood. II Is my sinccrest wish that
the interest Of every parent could be-
so awakened ss TO cooperate in the
movement and the momhcrship Of the
organization could be- increased 50 NJ 10

EQUAL TO THE LANCASTER
BUTTER SEPARATOR.

IL saw hoop snake drink gallon

cave last week." said one OF our farm
er friends, whose confidence we shall
hold sacred on account of the splendid
reputation for truth and veracity he
now enjoys. THE snake then crawled
out of the cave. stuck his tail in his
mouth and rolled down the hill. He
lost control of himself and could not
put on the brake. so he skidded against
a small sapling and had a blowout.
When ! got down the hill there on the

BAD COLDS CONTAGIOUS.

Modern medical science recognizes
the common cold as so contagious that
the cages of the valuable anthropoid
apes in the London 200" are fitted
nowadays with glass fronts to protect
them, not from ''cold" meaning low
temperature. but from the ''cold'
germs brought into the buildings bv
visitors who come to observe the
animals.
Everyone nowadays knows, or may
find out very easily. that ''cold" is a
communicable germ disease and that
the best breeding place for the germs
the best place for their transference
lis in a close atmosphere such as that
of a closed and lll-ventilated public
vehicle in which all sorts Of conditions
of human beings are gathered.
Our common ancestor. the anthropoid
ape. is rarer than the rest of us, es-
pecially in great cities and in ATTITUDES
IN which he does not flourish out of
doors and upon his own" as London
ers say, Measures for his protection
are praiseworthy. They also are sug-
gestive.
If an anthropoid ape must be pro-
tected from infection BY persons who
come to the front of his cage where
they stand well back from the bars and
look at him, will not the time come
when there will be greater interest in
protecting ourselves from one another
in public conveyances? The wheezy
fellow who pumps down in the seat
against you in the street car. at any
time after September and before May,
thinks he has an inalienable right to
prevent you from ventilating your
allotment of space, but that you have
no right to object to his spraying you
with the infection of "cold" and send
ing you home incubating cold which
will put you in the dumps. and in posi-
tive danger for three weeks, and in all
probability attack all of the other per-
sons in the house.
In London. where the apes are look
ed after, human beings also have
chance. Public conveyances provide
inside seats and a stuffy atmosphere
from those who like to be protected
from draughts. and outside seats for
those who like to be protected from
draughts. But in America all of us
are herded together in cars which breed
cold germs and other germs as a Jer-
sey marsh breeds mosquitoes. Courier
Journal.
1t would be well for many to read
this. Many who have bad colds are
thoughtless, and there are others who
are ignorant. The person who ex.
pectorates in or on a register, who
coughs and sneezes without holding
handkerchief over his nose and mouth |
and who expectorates on the street is
not only both but he is scattering germs
that may mean death to some one.
