The
Day

our advertisement appeared
in the city papers a little
boy walked into our office
and said:
"Say Mister give me some
of those coupon books; | have
made up my mind that l
ought to have the prettiest
pony in Christian county and
| am going to win your pony
and then take the prize with
him at the Pennyroyal Fair"
You could see victory and
battle in this boys eyes. And
by the way, he is selling cou-
pom books like shot cakes"
Says he don't intend to quit
until the fight is over. This
is the spirit that wins and it
wouldn't be a surprise to see
this little boy grab the lines,
crack his whip and drive that
beautiful pony outfit home---
all his own---on Aug. 18th.

In the southwestern part Of the coun-

the downpour in some places over

serious damage. The corn crop bids
fair to be a record-breaker.

TWO FALSE ALARMS.
Firenaen Called Out Thursday Night Someone's Fooiinhfess or Malice.

From Chief c. B. Arnold down through the membership of the fire department there was special interest Friday in learning who is responsible for having pulled in two alarms nn Thursday night for fires that did not exist. The false ones were ticked off from Boxes 36 and A, the first alarm coming in at about 16.30 from Box AZ, the next at Il o'clock.
 It was taken for granted by most persons that the alarms were pulled In by some person who had a cross eyed idea of amusement. It wasn't funny at all for the members of the department to get out for a run in the cold and dampness and find they were on a wild goose chase. Doubling the dose by pulling in second alarm didn't help the matter any, either.
 Eli Nichols is quoted as having said that he saw two men run through Bridge street after the alarm from Box 42 was pulled in.
 There is a heavy penalty for ringing In false alarms. and if some of the firemen happen to be judge when a culprit was proved guilty of such a performance he probably would get the

NEW PREMIER OF GREECE
 HAVING "A HARD TIME
Cabinet Councils Five Nights Week,
 Lasting Until 3 a. m.

Athens, Greece, Dec. r22.-Prof. Spyridon P. Lambros, the new premier of Greece, has had a hard time of it since he become heal of King Cen stantine,s cabinet. A professor Of dis tinction, one of Europe's best known savants, Dr. Lambros has been used all his life to early hours and regular habits. Since he has been plunged into the political whirlpool of the Bal kans, five nights a week have seen him in cabinet councils until o'clock in the morning or later.
 pr. Lambros is an Epirote, though he himself happened to be born in Corfu, in 1851. His father, however, was native of Epirus-tile district in dispute between Italy and Greece and his grandfather was hanged bs' Ali Pacha in 1921 when engaged in one of the many Epirotic revolts against the Turkish rule.
 Like most Greeks af the period i'm mediately following the rule of King Otho, Spyriden LabFes studied 5n Germany, passing his doctorate at Leipzig in 1873 For several years he pursued special historical studies at Oxford, Cambridge, the British Mu- scum and the University of Paris, HIS we'll as in Italy and Germany. In 1882, on his return to Athens, he was charged by Premier Trikoupis with the reorganization of the system of SuIlC<Dl1OIl -<5ittl W<Ao AII<tfIy -dp- pointed Professor of History in the National University at Athens in 1887. He was never the tutor to King Cor stantine, as has been stated, and bonly came into contact with the present Greek sovereign in 1856 when the late King George made him secretary gen. eral of the Olympic Games commit tee.
 Premier Lambros' only previous po- Htical experience was in 1912-1913, when he was sent to Italy upon a speS cia1 mission connected with the 1tal-
