school CENSUS

The annual census of the white
children of school age in the city
of Mt. Sterling, recently completed
by G. Z. Coons, shows healthy
increase over that of last year. In
1915 the total was COL, while for
1916 the total is 644-an increase
of about Z per cent. 1t has been
only a short time since some peo-
pie were predicting that Mt. Ster-
ling would lose hundreds of citi-
zens if the licensed liquor traffic
was abolished. 1t would appear
that not very many families have
emigrated from the confines of the
city, while on the other hand, since
the above mentioned increase is
the largest for any similar period
for many years, it seems that new
families have actually come into
our midst. Further, the last Grand
Jury, in its final report paid a high
compliment to Mt. Sterling and
Montgomery county in that so lit
tie violation of law was found

The City Council met in regular
session last Tuesday night and a
large crowd Of citizens attracted by
the report that paved streets would
be ordered at this session were
present to protest or offer counter
propositions. A committee Of citi-
gems was selected by the Council
to investigate the condition of the
principal maeadam streets and re-
port at the special meeting to-
night, when, it is understood,
the Council will take definite
action in regard TO street improve
ment. There is considerable oppo-
sition to the paved streets as was
demonstrated at the meeting Tues
day night but it is certain that
something must be done and that
course seems the only one for the
Council to take in view of prece-
dent. Property owners from diff
ferent sections Of the city offered
various counter propositions in an
effort TO avert an ordinance for
paved streets, but with the posi-
BILE exception of one or two they
were unsatisfactory. Very little
business OF importance was tran
sacted at the meeting. No action
of any sort in regard to sidewalk
was even limited at.

Mainleafs Racing Career

Mainleaf (2) 1928, champion two-year-old colt of
1910 half mile track. Mainleaf finished fourth to
Necia at Detroit in 2:14H 2:13H and 2:141, at that
time the fastest three consecutive heats that had
been rotted by a two-year-old. Maineaf finished
ond in each heat to Justice Brook in the Kentucky Flu
turity in 21 and :O91 which then the worlds
record for two-year-old stations. Mainleaf finished
second to Silent Brigade in the Lexington States in
2:IOA and 2:10A, which the first time two-year
old trotted two winning heats better than 2:11,
which another worlds record.
In his three ear-old form he troted sensational
race at Detroit which by Miss Stokes in 08R,
2:O8A and 2 1884, Mainleaf winning the second heat,
but the judges credited it to Miss Stokes This be-
ing the fastest threeyear-od trotted in the
month of August. The next start at Indianapolis
in the Western Horseman Stake, where he defeated Miss
Stokes and others in brilliant contest
witnessed a track, time 2:11H, 2 09R and
2:O9H. He money winner at Detroit in the
Matron Stake he heat winner in the Horse Review
Stake at Columbus and in the Kentucky Futury he
double heat winner and all things considered roted
the greatest colt troted in the world The
time 2:O8H, 2 O8a 2 1854, 2:O7R 2 11H 2:10A,
which the worlds fastest six heat for three
year-olds at that time. He also third money in
has been contender in every and every heat he
trotted, and believe if vote taken the
gamest rotting colt that raced, Manleaf would be
winner.
Manleaf will make the of 1916 at the Fair
Grounds, Mt Sterling KY, at the very low fee of $500

Postmen In Faroff DAYS,

Postmen have a very respectable an
dqufty. They were known, the Sun
day at Home points out, in the faroff
days of King Hezekiah's reign, some
700 years before Christ. In the thir-
tieth chapter Of the second book Of
Chronicles we read that 1.-The posts
went with the letters throughout all
Israel and Judah" and, further, that
''the posts passed from city to city
through the country Of Ephraim and
Manasseh.' The postman Of old was a
swift runner, who received the letter
from the sender's hand and carried 1t
direct to the person to whom it was
addressed

How to Test Linen and Cotton if You
Can't Tell the Difference.


If you are not sure that your mer-
chant is reliable when buying table
linen take home sample and wash it
hard and then see, when it is ironed
dry, how much of it's fine gloss and
smooth, sanny finish remain. Very of
ten this is only a dressing and comes
out in the wash.
To test for cotton in your linen take
thread running in each direction, pull
them apart and when they break no.
tice the ends. If the fibers curl up
and are fuzzy it is cotton thread; if
they are lustrous and lie straight and
parallel you have linen. AS in the case
of cotton and wool mixtures, it holds
true of linen and cotton that mixture
made of good grade of both is prefer
able to an all linen at the same price
The latter would have to be of an in
ferior grade, probably overbleache6
and thereby rotted and sure to weal
poorly.

SAINT VALENTINE

Saint Valentine was good saint
who lived in Rome many. many years
ago. He was a martyr who suffered
death because he would not give up his
religion and worship the Gods that the
Romans worshiped. We know verv
little about him but this story is told
as the reason why we celebrate his
day by sending letters and messages
of love to friends. Saint Valentines
whole life was given mp to making peo-
Pile happier. He used to go around to
houses wherever there were sick or
sorrowing. He made the people very
happy. He fed the poor, cheered the
sad, conforted the sick. This man
loved the children who focked after
him wherever he went. At length
make his visits. He thought that he
was of no use because he could not
visit his poor friends. Then he thought,
II can send letters. They may do a
little good.' So when he heard of any
one who was sick he wrote them
letters. After while the people be-
gan to look forward to these letters,
as one awake and suffering longs for
the daylight. When the people re-
ceived these letters the children would
cry, Here is letter from the good
Saint After Saint Valentine died
| the people said, LET US honor our
dear Saint and send letters on this day
to the people we love" And they did so.
These letters were called Valentine
} letters, and now Valentines.

Put little common baking soda in

the sweeper, dip it up and down in
this; let it dry in the sun and it will
be like new. Hair bristles or any
brush can be treated in the same way
