Eel, KY, May II, 1915.
Editor Courier:
Notwithstanding the fact that
the races for State Offices are
taking a great deal of the atten-
ton of the voters, there are a
great many of us who realize that
the office of Commonwealth
Attorney is of greater immediate
Importance to us that the State
Offices.
We hear it stated and not de-
MED that there are men in the
county who have been fined by
juries for the illegal sale of whis-
key, aud who. Notwithstanding
the fact that there are judgments
against them that are unsatisfed,
are free to walk the streets and
roads and still violate the law;
that these same men and others
are almost openly selling whiskey
yet, and that no effort is being
made to enforce the judgments
or to put in Jail the men already
convicted.
AS citizens we believe, that the
law means what it says, and we
are for a man for Common
wealth's Attorney who will en-
force the law; who will, when a
man is convicted, insist that he
either pay the judgment or be
imprisoned to satisfy it; we also
want a man who will not allow
the habitual liquor vendor to
compromise his liquor cases at
rate to make the fines he pays
a cheap license to sell.
The present Commonwealth
Attorney has not satisfied the
citizens who favor the laws en-
forcement, and we are for George
W. Castle, a man who will insist
that when the grand jury makes
an indictment that the case be
tried by jury and whatever ver-
dict that they render shall be put
iato absolute effect.
The only hope we have of this
is the election of Mr.. Castle.
A Citizen.

is sometimes necessary to relieve
the tension Of the udder by gentle
stripping a portion Of the milk.
This frequently deprives the foal
of the colostrum first milk
which is essential in eliminating
the dry feces (foetal bile secre-
tion) contained in the intestine.
The foal as a result may suffer
from colicky pains and strain
violently to pass the impacted
feces. This condition can be con-
trolled largely by feeding laXa-
tives to the dam, but when the
condition does appear the foal
must be relieved by enemas Of
warm soap and water or oil.
This should be repeated until the
bowels move freely.

Hazel Green Shut Out.

In a one-sided, heavy-hitting
contest, devoid of features ex-
cept by the home boys, the
Hazel Green town and academy
ball team was handed a fearful
drubbing Tuesday afternoon on
the local lot, to the tune of 10 to
O.
1t was evident after the first
inning that our boys had easy
sailing, and of course the rivalry
that exists between the two clubs
caused them to go after the visi-
tors rough shod.
The Wolfe county boys demean-
ed themselves like gentlemen
while here. There was no wrang-
ling whatever-in fact there was
no cause for any.
The local boys played errorless
ball and gathered in a total of
twenty hits, including five
doubles, one triple and one home
run.
MaXey pitched a great game,
allowing the visitors but four
scattered hits, and striking out
fourteen men. The features of
the game were the pitching of
Maxey, the hitting of the entire
team and a clean cut home run by
Cisco.
D. S. Henry umpired the game
to the entire satisfaction Of all.
Following is the line up and

charged with the offense of shoot
ing one of the English pheasants

Squire Watkins Dunn resorted
to the much used plea of that
famous county-self defence
and was, of course acquitted.
The fellows who hide in the fence
corner and patiently wait for
their foe successfully use that
plea. and Dunn just naturally en-
tered the plea that would most
likely aquit him in that county.

Care Of The Foat.

Mares foaling during the winter
months or early spring should
have protection from cold, dis
agreeable, rainy weather. While
in the house they should be fed a
wholesome feed of a laxative
nature until grass is available.
Rye is an excellent grazing for
early foaling mares. Blue grass
pasture is the most valuable feed
for nursing mares, but it is not
obtainable for the early foaling
dams. Bran mashes, boiled oats
and oil meal are valuable feeds
for confined dams as they keep
the bowels Of the dam in a
healthy and laxative condition,
all of which probably influences
the development of the foal. A
nursing dam receiving an over
abundance of rich food may pro-
duce diarrhea in the foal.
Too much attention can not be
given to clean roomy quarters for
the mare at foaling time. The
stable should be cleaned daily, and
before the colt is dropped, bed
ding which has been disinfected
by some chemical and allowed to
dry, or straw which has been
thoroughly exposed to the action
Of the suns rays should be used.
Septic arthritis Cjoint ill) is one
of the most common and fatal
disease of the foal, due primarily
to lack of hygienic measures at
the time of foaling. This infec-
tion is caused by a cro-organism
which gains entrance into the
system through Che navel. The
navel cord should be washed with
a 2 per cent. carbolic acid solution
and ligated as close to the
abdomen as possible. Infection
often occurs in the navel when
the vessels are not Immediately
obliterated after birth. Anti
septic treatment of the navel
should be continued until it is
completely healed.
Navel i'll in the colt is a sequel
to infectious abortion in many
studs, and the fact cannot be over
looked that colts might be infec-
ted at the time of birth. 1t has
been observed that septic arthritic
in colts is sometimes associated
with infectious abortion in mares.
Excluding this specific disease
abortion = the production of a
healthy foal requires little atten-
ton other than proper feeding of
the mare, clean quarters and pro-
lection from the weather.
Owners should examine each foal
carefully on its arrival and en-
ploy the precautionary measures
indicated to reduce infection and
thereby insure strong, healthy
colts.
During foetal life the secretion
from the liver (bile) is passed in
to the intestines where it is allow
ed to accumulate until birth.
This bile often becomes dry and
hard and results in constipation.
The first milk from the dam con-
tains a substance (colostrum)
which acts as purge for the foal.

secreting milk prior to foaling it

Now are the days when the
woods are full of certificated in
dividuals hunting for schools and
soliciting employment from the
trustees of the county; in fact all
the counties of the State. The
usual tactics, methods and infu-
ences are being employed to
clinch promises and make certain
their employment, and we have
small reason to hope that the
trustees will adopt standards any
different from those they have
used in the past. In all the years
since we have had the Division
method of employing teachers
who ever heard Of a convention,
or division, of trustees taking any
steps or requiring any means to
be used to determine the relative
qualifications and merits of the
applicants for theiiFscho0is Who
has ever seen an advertisement
requesting information concern
ing teachers of exceptional abili-
ty and experience, either insert
ed in the county paper or posted
notices? Who has ever seen or
heard of trustees advertising for,
hunting for or inquiring for a
teacher of superior talents or of
exceptional teaching ability?
How many teachers of wide ex-
perience and noted reputation
for success as instructors can re-
member being sought out by a
a trustee or educational division
and requested to attend the trus-
tees meeting for the purpose Of
taking charge of a school? Who
has ever heard OF such a thing as
rivalry between, or among, the
subdivisions striving to see
which could have the best corps
of teachers?
| All of these questions can be
answered with one little word
NOBODY!
Four million dollars are set
apart each year by the great
Commonwealth of Kentucky for
the purpose of educating the
growing generation which must
shortly take charge of the States
affairs commercial, professional
and otherwise. The trustees of
our common schools are selected
by the men and women of the
State and sworn to administer
this sacred fund, to employit to
the very best purpose, for the
proper education and equipment
of the rising generation.
Let every trustee ask himself
these questions: Have promis-
ed these little children's money
this year to some of my kin folk?
Have l made a dicker with some
body to keep my school for some
personal advantage or personal
preference? Are there any bet
ter teachers than the person to
whom l have promised the school?
Are there teachers | could get
that are better qualified, have
more experience, or who have
had better success? If so, have |
made any effort to secure one of
them? Have advertised in the
papers or posted notices or visit
ed any noted teachers or done
anything else to try to secure the
very best qualified teacher can
for my district?
