BOYS STEAL
CUTOFF
Brass Piston Taken From
Standpipe and Sold to
Junk Dealer.

Vernon Jones, Henry and Edward
Davis were given five months each in
county court yesterday afternoon for
stealing the brass emergency cutoff,
which controls the full water force of
the city, and selling it to a junk deal
er.
The brass piston, which is valued
at s., and fits into the valve Of the
standpipe, was found to have been
stolen. This left no way for the wa
ter to be cut off when pumping was
being done. Had a large fire broken
out there would have been no chance
for stopping it, as the water could not
have been controlled.
The three boys said they were from
Nashville. They denied fatty having
stolen the apparatus, or selling il to
the dealer.

Horticulturist Elliott Advises
New Kind Of Farming
For County.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
North Christian Suited For
Orchards; Hopkinsville
Shipping Point.

"Grow Fruit" was the advice CIV
en- Christian county farmers, especial
ly those of North Christian, by N. r.
Elliott, horticulture expert sent here
by the extension department of the
Agricultural Experiment Station of
the state.
After visiting the farms of the
northern part of the county, Mr.. FL
lott was enthusiastic in urging the
growing of fruit in this section. He
said that with Hopkinsville as ship
ping place on freight line with Chi
cago and st. Louis, there should be
no difficulty in selling small fruits and
truck vegetables. The demand for
these, he said, is always greater than
the supply and this should make the
raising of small fruits and vegetables
a great source of income to the
county.
The land in North Christian, he
said, would make excellent orchard
land and he strongly urged the farm
ers and Agriculturist A. NJ. Casey, to
inaugurate fruit growing movement
for the county.
In his report to the Experiment
Station, Mr.. Elliott said that the land
here was excellent for fruits and veg
etables but lacked development along
that line. Prof. Elliott said before
leaving that during the latter part Si
the summer he would return to this
county and cooperate with County
Agriculturist.Casey in organizing fruit
growing clubs. He will also give adj
vice in regard to the planting and
care of the fruit.
Mr.. Elliott says that the only way a
success can be made of fruit growing
is for the growers to cooperate and
make their purchases and sales to-
gether through the county agent.
This makes the fruits uniform and
greatly aids in marketing. 1t also en-
ables the farmers to get much better
prices by cooperative buying and
selling.
Thefarmers of the northern section
o, the county seem delighted with the
prospect of making fruit growing the
big feature of their work and are en-
tering enthusiastically into the move
ment.

COncensus Of Opinion is That
1916 Will Differ From
1916.
THE SUMMERLESS YEAR
Even 'Uncle Dick" Holland
Seeks the Shady Side
of the Street.

History tells us that in 1916 there
was no summer and even in July
there was ice and snow. This sum-
mer is not to be repetition of that
of 100 years ago.
The concensus of opinion is that we
are already having some weather that
may be fairly classed as summer heat.
Sunday the mercury was well above
80 and yesterday it tried to work a
little harder than it did on Sunday.
Close observers report that Uncle
Dick" Holland, who is sort of ba-
rometer, so to speak, did not sit in the
sun at any time yesterday afternoon.
When the weather approaches sum-
mer heat he forsakes his own side of
the street and moves his chair to the
west side, in the shade of a big bill
board and spends his afternoons fan
ming himself with palm leaf fan.
Col. Holland moved over yesterday,
(which is a sure sign that summer is
coming.
Several we'll known citizens allowed
themselves to be interviewed on the
change in the weather.
Lee Ellis, who never sheds tear:
when it gets hot, started an additions
ice wagon.
| Col. Green Champlin coined new
Russian word to convey his idea ant
said, '1tashotashell."
Shelby Peace said it looked to hir
like a conspiracy between the wealth
er clerk and the ice man.
Alex Overshiner said he did no
like to have to drink up all the profit
of his soda fount in order to keeI
cool.
| Col Clarence Blakemore, who il
not only an artist but poet, quoted
this one:
whats the use in kicking,
'Taint gwine to help bit,
Case the weather what you got
/ Is all you gwine to git"

The Christian county colored teach
ers institute whic h has just completed
its annual session at the Second street
school building, passed a strong
resolution endorsing the administra-
ton of Prof. L. E. Foster, Democratic
county superintendent Of schools, and
called upon both the Democratic and
Republican parties not to put out any
Opposition against him for reelection
next year, basing this on the grounds
that he could then give all his time
and energies to the welfare OF the
schools rather than to prosecuting a
campaign for reelection.
The meeting held was full of inter
est and was considered the most
beneficial ever had by the above
teachers of the county. The resolu-
ton about Prof. Foster follows.
Whereas, We, the colored teach
ers of Christian county, realizing that
all true reforms must come from the
people and knowing that the public
school is that institution upon which
most of the great responsibility rests,
feel it to be our duty to foster and
encourage such measures and support
such officers as will make the school
potent factor whereby this end may
be obtained.
We believe that the Office of Coun-
ty Superintendent, representing as it
does the educational interest of the
boys and girls, of all the people ir-
respective of race, color or party al
filiation, should be taken out OF
| politics that the superintendent might
be left free to devote his entire time
and energies to the work Of said
Office.
Since our present County Superin-
tendent, Prof. l.. E. Foster, has been
i untiring in his efforts to turn the at
tention of the ,people to the schools in
a manner which has caused all Sec
/ tons OF the county to lookwith deepe
interest and greater concern upon
this all absorbing question, and
whereas to continue this Office in
politics would necessarily take the
superintendent away from the duties
of his Office to meet the various issues
incident 20 a campaign of that kind,
resulting as it would in loss to the
children and 10 the county thus
seriously regarding the progress OF
that school spirit of which he has been
the instrument Of creating, therefore.
Be it resolved that we most earnest
ly request the Democratic and Re-
publican parties that they place no
candidate in the field in opposition to
him.

Detachment Thrown Forward
to Third German line at
Foureaux Woods Retires.
ONLY TRAWLERS SUNK
Rumors That Russian Army
Is Ready to Be Sent to
the French Lines.

London, July l7.-The Anglo
French advance has brought the allied
troops, where they make junction,
to a point about mile in front Of
Combles, which prior to July I, when
the offensive began, was the Germans
headquarters in this sector.
Quiet prevailed on the British front
Sunday. The detachment, which had
been thrust forward to the third Ger
man line Of Foureaux woods to pro-
tect the infantry operations now has
been withdrawn TO the main positions.
The casualty lists as announced to-
tai 227 officers dead and 457 wounded
or missing; 597 men dead and 1882
wounded. The British are keenly
watching for the next move on the
French front, where comparativequie
still prevails.
The Germans are strongly placed
on the Somme above Peronne under
the protection of the river and its
marshy banks. The crossing of the
river by the French viii involve seri-
Gus fighting with probably heavy
losses.
The British and French are fun OF
confidence in each other and the re-
suit of the Joint offensive seems daily
to be more assured, as there is no
evidence of any new units of reserves
coming from the interior of Germany.
Further significant news has been
received to the effect that the Portu-
lguese government has equipped an
army with everything necessary to
enable it to fight side by side with the
Anglo-French armies and this army is
ready TO answer the call whenever
required.
In the Champagne region there is
again great activity by the French
troops, who are being aided in their
maneuvers by the Russians who re-.
