!
 The Chicks were helpless in the in itial battle before the terrific benders of Preacher Perryman, who only al lowed a couple of scratch hits in the full nine innings. Only in one inning, the first, did Stark's men get as far as second base, and this lasted only a
 aoment, as Eddie Hemingway went out trying to pilfer the third station. But twenty eight men, one more than the regulation allowance, faced the preacher person in the full nine in nings, which, it must be admitted, is hurling ball.
 Aside from the pitching of Perryman She feature of the first battle was the fcmon slugging of little Danny Clark who corralled a homer, triple and a double in four trips to the plate. He scored three of the four Baron counters Merritt was opposed to Perryman in the first and while he was hit rather freely did good work.
 The Baron counters came in the sec ond, when Clark hit a homer. Two more were added in the fourth, when Coombs trlpled. Clark duplicated, and Lindsay singled. The final counter came in the sixth, when Clark doubled and went to third on Lindsay's sacrifice, scoring on Caton's sacrifice fly to right.
 GOOD PITCHERS DUEL
 In the second affair it was Cy Barger and Dickie Robertson in as pretty q pitchers duel as has been seen at Rick wood this year. Both twirlers were hit rather freely, but succeeded in keeping the bingles well scattered. Barger was more successful in this than Robby and as 8 consequence was returned the win ner.
 The damage was done by the Chicks in off McDonald's shins at third./ He went to second on Stark's infield out and scored when Ruel stung one through Danny Clarks legs for a safety.
 That ended the scoring, but the Bar ons staged a rally in the seventh that threw scare into the Stark crew. They succeeded in filling the bases, but lacked the necessary punch to kick over the run that would have tied the score With crr lawn Lindsay singled through short and went to second on Caton's drive over second. Robby stung one to Walsh, and the third sacker failed to handle it. The bases were filled with the lead off man a. bat, but Mack couldn't deliver. He rolled an easy one to Stark, forcing the pitcher at the keystone sack, ending the game.
 The game was by far the best that Robertson has yet pitched for the Bar ons and it was a heart breaker to lose. Robby allowed but five hits, none of them going for extra sacks and more than one coming in but a single inning. showed lots of stuff yesterday, and if his work was any indication. is ra pidly rounding into the reliable twirler he proved last vear

U. C. AID FOR DRAM FAMILY
Flat denials of Eugent T. Lies

Office and told that two of their good

the Charities did not discourage the
operation on Dram but encouraged
it. worked for many weeks along
with others in a fruitless attempt to
get Dram out Of the BTidewel that
he might undergo the operation and
Lam confident it was the United

it not for the intercession of Corpor-

''The United Charities is now Civ

A WAR ON cATERPILLARs.

A war on caterpillars that have
been destroying all the foliage of the
trees in the woods of Surrey, Eng

starlings and jackdaws. Battalions
of the birds have attacked the mis-
chief makers, and the trees have
been black with them, while the noise
made by the birds in their search
for the caterpillars can be heard for
half a mile away. Only those cater
pillars which have succeeded in hid
ing themselves in particularly deep
crevices of che trees have escaped the
onslaught.

SHORTAGE IN TOBACCO PREDICTED
Fertilizer Scarcity May Affect Other States
Figures Take Upward Jump at Danville

A tobacco shortage, the like of
which has not existed in generation
will probably face the United States
next year. Now that the present
season is nearing the close it has been
discovered that not more than half a
crop was produced in Kentucky the
past year. This alone would not
have been sufficient TO cause ankle
ty but CONSERVATION was thrown into
the tobacco raising sections of Vir-
ginia and North and South Sarolina
the past month when fertilizer COM
panies announced an increase of over
200 per centum in all kinds of ferti-
lizers due to war conditions and 9th
er influences which have served to
produce a scarcity. Potash, one of
the principal ingredients of first class
fertilizers, has jumped to $500 per
ton. A South Carolina warehouse
man, who has been in Danville this
week, states that in the three states
named not over half crop can be
produced the coming season, and
that tobacco growers will increase
other crops and cut in half their to-
bacco acreage. This situation, com
bined with the short Kentucky crop
this year, is calculated to produce 3
great shortage next year. In the light
of these developments there has been
in the past few days decided ten
>dency to higher prices already. The
indications are that this year will be
the most profitable for the Kentucky
growers in the history of the state,
and it goes without saying that when
the facts become well known a great
ly increased acreage will be planted
Tobacco cannot be grown in North
and South Carolina and Virginia un-
less from 600 to 500 pounds of fer
tilizer is used on each acre of land
The Danville breaks have been the
scenes of much ACTIVITY this week
and many splendid averages have
been realized. The Walnut Street
House, under the splendid manage
ment of Jesse Overstreet and Allen
Heat, has been making some sensa-
House, under the direction of Col
Ike Dunn. These houses do strict
ly commission business and the man
ayers use their best energies to Sc
cure the biggest prices for the grow
ers. Growers are warned to use
great care in selecting their tobacco
seed this year so that good, strong
plants may be produced. Local
warehousemen advise the planting OF
seeds sold by B. F. Kelly. of Lancas-
ter; 3. u. Lake, of Springfield, Of
DIR. HALEY, of Lexington. A change
in tobacco seed is as essential as 9
change in wheat and corn. About
one-half million pounds of tobacco
have been sold on the Danville breaks
this week. Herewith are given few
of the high averages received:
Yandell & Warren, of Boyle coun
ty, sold the following baskets:

sow and nine pigs, that cost him
close to forty dollars. Farming tools

Stanford Lincoln Kentucky, Friday February
ELECTION CALL ANNULLED
Petitions Asking For Vote On Road
Bonds Lacking in Names

The road bond election called by
Judge Bailey Monday for April 18th,
has been called off. The order of the
county court fixing the date for the
election, was set aside when it was
found that the petitions filed here
Monday do not comply with the law.
1t was found that the names of "free-
holders" on the petitions were not
sufficient in number under the law
to call an election. The law requires
that a petition shall be signed by at
least $50 "freeholders," and by that
is meant property owners, to make
legal a call for such an election, and
the petitions filed here Monday did
not contain the names of $50 prop
erty owners. Over 100 names were
on the petitions but many of them
were not property owners, which was
discovered when the officials went
over the petitions preparatory to is
suing the necessary call for an cleo
ton. Those who have been advocat-
ing the calling of another road bond
election say that this oversight can
and will be promptly remedied and
that petitions containing more than
the required $50 property owners
names will be filed with the county
court on March court day.

ACCIDENT ON ICE
PROVES FATAL
Little Jesse Dunn Succumbs to In
jury to His Head Which Baf-
fled Physicians.

Jesse Dunn, the 12-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Owsley Dunn, died
at their home, north of Stanford,
Wednesday after several weeks suf-
fering from the injury which he re-
ceived when he fell on ice while skat-
ing a few weeks ago. The little fell
lows brain was affected in some way,
and at times he suffered excruciating
agony. Everything in the power of
medical science was done for him to
no avail, and death came at last and
put an end to his pain. His par
ents, have the deepest sympathy of
a host of friends in their great be-
reavement. Funeral services were
conducted Friday over the remains
of the little fellow who was a great
favorite with his playmates and all
who knew him. He was in the fourth
grade at school and was doing fine in
his studies. The accident which
caused the lads death was most pc
culiar one. Together with some
playmates he was skating on a pond
near his fathers farm a few weeks
ago, during a cold spell. He fell
and struck the back of his head upon
a ridge of ice. For day or so he
paid little attention to the injury, but
soon the most agonizing pains began
to develop, and physicians came to
the conclusion that some structure
of the brain had been broken by
the jar. They did what they could,
but were unable to relieve him of
suffering in any way except through
the use of opiates.
