London, Wednesday. June 16.-The
fighting is growing harder daily along
the Austro-ltalian frontier, and, in
view of past performances, it is con
sidered reasonable to assume that
Germany will throw great mass of
troops on this front and endeavor to
sweep into Italy and hold ground
there, just as she has done in Poland,
Belgium, and France.

Better Horses.

Several million dollars have
been spent in the United States
for war horses. The greatest de-
mand, OF course, is for strong
horses capable Of work as cavalry
mounts or for artillery. The en-
tire country has been gone over
two or three times by buyers
from different countries, and still
the demand has not been filled.
The draining of the western
States of horses means that in the
future a better breed of horses
will be produced. 1t is this that
sounds the death knell of the
broncho. The government has
beer working for better horses.
AS the demand for horses to re-
place those sold for war purposes
increases, it will be animals of
better breeds that will take their
places. -Russellville Times.

He Missed A Fortune.

In spite of their night-and-day
activity in raiding and destroying
the hundreds of illicit stills that
are manufacturing moonshine in
the mountains, the revenue Off
GERS of Georgia, have found time
to report the discovery of an in
vention, which, had it been pa
tented by its discoverer, might
have brought him an immense
fortune. The art of distillation
is an ancient one. yet little pro-
gress has been made in the pro-
cess since the first worm" or
twisted tube was used to con-
dense the vapors which arise
from the boiling liquid. Frank
Whatley, a Georgian conducted
a still on his place in the Blue
Ridge mountains. Since prohibit
ton went into effect, the demand
for moonshine has leaped to enor-
nous proportions. Whatley saw
that if he could increase the out
put Of his still he would make
more money. So he set to work
and constructed a still, which,
according to the officers, instead
of the usual worm or coil, con-
tanned device with a double sur
face for condensing the vaporized
alcoholic fumes. The device is
enclosed in an air space in which
the vapors float and are con-
densed rapidly as the water pas
ses through the body of the
cylinder. 1t is the most efficient
condensation system we have
ever seen and it is a pity Whatley
did not try to market his device
instead of making moonshine. "

Dastardly Deed.

Twenty four horses that had
stood a rigid inspection and were
being shipped to the allied armies
in Europe, over the Big Four
Railway, were found in Nation,
ILL.,, last week with their ham
strings cut, and the entire car
load had to be killed. Every
horse in the car was mutilated,
evidently by a set of unscuplous
men who worked with razors or
some equally sharp instrument
attached to a pole. The horses
had been especially selected for
cavalry work. Falmouth Out

ANNOUNCES FOR IAILER.

We call attention to the announcement of Perry Hen
ry of Liberty Road for the nomination for jaer subject
to the action Of the democratic primary 1917 in this ISSUE
Perry is too well known to the people of this county
to require any introduction at our hands. He is the
of the late j. A. Henry, who served the people Of this
county two terms in the office to which his as
pres Perry acted deputy under his father for several
years and as consequence familiar with every detail of
the duties of the office. He is young man of industry
and ability and if nominated and elected will so demean
himself officially that those who support him will have no
to regret her action To refer to his political rec
ord would be waste of words. His democracy has new
err been questioned He asks his ow-democrats to
slider his claims from the standpoint of merit alone and
the COURIER bespeaks for him due consideration at their
hands.

REMEMBER OUR HOME CANDIDATE.

Keep it always in mind that Morgan county has a
candidate for State office. Don't let your zeal for
didates for other Offices obscure this fact.
The COURIER has been pursuing quiet investigation
and is gratfed learn that the chances for Senator Chas
D. Arnet to win the nomination for Secretary of State
are very good Eastern Kentucky is almost solid for him
and he will get good vote in the other sections Of the
State What needed now for the democrats of Nor
gan and other mountain counties to impress upon visit
ing candidates and politicians that Aetts candidacy is
our chief and that all other subordinate
to this race. If we do this Charley Arnett will make
big majority in the primary.

that are being made by and for
Lieutenant-Governor Edward j.
MsDermott, Auditor Henry M.
Bosworth, Commissioner of Agri-
culture John w. Newman and
Harry V. McChesney, who are
also seeking the gubernatorial
nomination, the sentiment is
growing all over the State that
Stanley will win.
1T is even so in the First Con-
gressional District, which he lost
last fall, and which brings to
mind the fact that following the
visit of Senator Ollie M. James
to his home at Marion last week
and his brief sojourn in Louis
vile last Saturday night and Sun
day morning the rumor is afoat
that big 'un has let it be known
to some of his political friends
that he does not intend to ex-
press any preference as between
the candidates, and that he has in
timated that were he to come out
for any one that one would be
Stanley.
I'm support of this rumor, Z"
continues Mr.. Cromwell, 1T is
noted that Senator James and
Stanley had a talk at Louisville
Sunday morning; that Collector
Ben Marshall came as far as
Frankfort with Senator James
from Louisville the same morn
ing; that Marshal is outspokenly
for Stanley; that United States
Marshal Robert G. Ford, Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue Charlton

Slattery attended the Stanley
meeting at Covington and dined
with him afterward, and that

rotary to Senator James, both OF
Danville, attended Colonel Ike
Dunn's fish fry in Garrard coun'
ty last week and were with Stan

audience at his meeting at Dan
vile that night.
AT Richmond last Monday ap
proximately 1000 men were OF
the streets, it being County Cour
day, when Stanley arrived 10 fill

minutes before l o'clock rain be
