Slavic Sentiments Cause Many to Flee
 To Roumania.
 London, Nov. 23.-Bulgarian de- serters arrived in such numbers in Rumania after Bulgaria's entry in the war that the Rumanian govern ment was considerably embarra ssed as to what to do with them, says the Bucharest correspondent of the Near East. At Calafat no less than 500 Bulgarians in full equipment crossed the river, and large and small parties arrived at other points in Rumania. Their excuse for deserting was that they did not wish to fight Russia.
 Bulgarian reservists in Rumania left the country at the call for mo- obligation with apparent reluctance, while the Greeks responded enthus- iastically to their own call. Process sons accompanied the Greek reserv- ists to the train, with patriotic songs and cheers for each others country.

A Good Idea.

A certain mill owner was getting
very eXasperated with his men over
the condition Of the cloth which they
produced. Out of about every ten
lengths sent through to the warehouse
five or six of them had holes In. In
the hope Of stopping this the pro-
prietor informed the men that for all
the holes they made he would stop
shilling in their wages. The next
week a length came in with two holes
in it close together. The proprietor,
therefore, sent for the man who had
done it and said: /
"Now, Jones, I told you that for
every hole that you made in the cloth
you would be fined one shilling, and
here is piece with two holes in."
Jones picked up the cloth and looked
at it, then suddenly tore the two holes
into one.
THAT saves a shilling, them" he
said.

NO. she answered, and though her

then limping into his place, he drove

sIe OATS CROP

Speaking of oats the other day. some
one remarked that the crop this year
was in excess Of any year he had knowl
edge OF, and this reminded of the va
riety Of oats raised by our friend, John
F. Cooper, of Mason, which is the larg-
est and most prolific oats ever seen
hereabout. 1t is doubtless new va
riety, as the sample brought us shows
both the straw and head three or four
times larger than the ordinary oats
grown in this section. Everyone that
has seen this sample says it is far
ahead Of anything in the oats line they
have ever seen.-Mt Olivet Tribune.

STORY OF THE
'.:.. MOONLIGHT SCHOOL

In forceful and impressive manner,
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chairman
of the Kentucky Illiteracy Commission,
charmed an Elizabethtown audience
Wednesday evening at the Masonic
Temple with an address on Moonlight
Schools" With splendid presence and
perfect diction, Mrs. Stewart related,
in narrative style, the history of the
moonlight school movement in Ken
tucky-its inspiration, its achievements
and its plans and purposes.
Mrs. Stewart was presented by ii.
A. Sommers as the most distinguished
woman in Kentucky" and responding
to the introduction, graciously acknow-
lodged the cooperation of the County
School Superintendent, Mr.. j. A. Payne
and of the WOman's Club, of Elizabeth
| town, in this movement which has as
its ultimate end the eradication of illit-
eracy from the state.
THE moonlight school movement
said Mrs. Stewart, had it's inception
| in America. The Playground movement
started in Germany; vocational educa-
ton in France and the Montoressi
| movement in education in Italy, but the
| land of the brave and the home of the
free saw the birth of the moonlight
school / am also proud" she continued
that the first moonlight school was
not opened in the East, where culture
and precision are in their essence, nor
in the North, where progress goes at a
galloping pace; nor yet in the West
where efficiency is first to be consider
ed-but in this fair southland of ours;
yes, even in Kentucky. | am, too, glad,
she declared, that It was not in the
fertile valleys of the Bluegrass state
where first the movement was launch
ed but in the mountains, in Rowan
county, because then the people of thu
richer sections will have no excuse fo
not attending
Mrs. Stewart next pictured the help
less condition of the illiterates in Row
an county. and related three incident
which inspired her TO inaugurate tn
moonlight schools. One, she said, wa
: an illiterate old woman for whom sh
had carried on a correspondence wit
the womans daughter, reading the lat
ter's letters and answering them. "Thi
, went on for several years, said tn
speaker, until one day the old lad
came into my office, her face aglow a

seems like there was great wall twiA
; me and my Nellie, so just learned ho'
I to read and write To my great sur
/ prise and delight" said Mrs, Stewar
' "she showed me letter which she ha
A written her daughter"
These, with two other similar inc
: dents, Mrs. Stewart said. furnished II
