KEEP THE TOWN CLEAN

A clean town attracts attention
whenever and wherever it is seen.
A dirty one catches the public eye
iu even less time.
When the streets and alleys and
yards and vacant lots in a town
are sanitary it bespeaks a like con-
dition on the part of the residents
with regard to their personal
habits.
The Lord loves a clean man or
woman, and the devil worships a
dirty one Which do you prefer?
If each person in this town
would use Just a little more energy
and thoughtfulness we could make
this one of the cleanest spots in
the country and our reputation
would grow apace.
Not only would we benefit thus
ly, but the health of the community
would be vastly improved and the
physical capacity of the people
would be greatly increased.
A clean man works with pleasure
and with a definite object in view.
Generally he gets there.
The dirty one labors from neces-
sity only, has no ambition, and is
the black eye that kills the town
in the eyes of other people.
Keep the town clean.

IN LINE, MEN; DON'T CROWD
Invitation UnconsclousIy Given by lit
tie Music Teacher Liable to Cause
the Choir to Hurry.

A music teacher, recently arrived
from the United States, was making
herself generally useful. while learn
ing the language in mission school
at Conception, Chile. Among her
other duties, for which a knowledge
of Spanish was not required, was
playing the organ for the Spanish
choir. Her stock of words was ex-
tremely limited, but she had already
learned that one can frequently
change an English into Spanish
word by the additional of a final "a"
or CO." That the rule was not
altogether safe, she learned to
the hysterical amusement of the
choir. The music teacher had
been helping the tenors through
with their part in the anthem.
The word "tenor" is the same
in both languages. Then she want
ed to have the BASES try their part in
similar way. Although she was
not quite sure about the word for
Glass;" she took chance on it and
added the final co." Now it happens
that the word in Spanish which is
pronounced like "basso," sounding a
as in base, means kisses.
What she therefore said was !:
"Now the kisses, please, one at a
time."-World Outlook.

HIS GLASS EYE IN PAIN.

A very peculiar accident happened
to 0. r. McColley Of Wolsey, S. D.
While talking with one of his Gus
toners, James L. Boyd, he sudden.
ly threw his hands to one of his eyes
which he lost several years ago and
which is replaced by glass one.
He exclaimed in great pain that
someone had hit him in the eye, when
Doctor Cogswell was summoned and
the patient was removed to his of
flee. After the pain was relieved,
the eye was removed and it was dis
covered the back of the glass eyeball
had broken and the vacuum from the
hollow inside had drawn the optic
nerve through the broken part, which
caused intense pain.
The inside part of the eye is badly
infamed and it will necessitate the
replacing of new glass eye as soon
as it has healed sufficiently.

WILSON NAMES JUDGE CLARKE

John Hessin Clarke, federal dis
trict Judge at Cleveland, O., was
nominated by President Wilson FRI
day as an associate justice Of the
Supreme Court to FIJI the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of
Charles Evans Hughes, to accept
the Republican nomination for thc
presidency. Prompt confirmation OF
the appointment by the Senate is
expected. Two years ago the Sen
ate confirmed the nomination Of
Mr.. Clarke as district Judge, after
an investigation had disposed of
suggestions that his service as
counsel for a railroad might have
impaired his usefulness as a jurist.
The President finally made his Sc
lection after discussing the ques-
ton with the cabinet. Up to the
last moment the name of Judge
Victor j. Bowling, of the New
York Supreme Court, was serious
ly considered. Judge Clarke for
years was identified with progress
sive movements in Ohio, being as
sociated with the late Mayor Tom
Johnson, Mayor Newton D. Baker,
now Secretary of War, and other
leaders of the party in his state.

KENTUCKY CROP REPORT

Commissioner of Agriculture CO.
hen Tuesday issued the June crop
report which showss that all Of the
crops, with the exception of fruit,
are in splendid conditions, and the
outlook favorable for a bumper year
for the farmers.
The report follows:
"The last of June found every
body busy on the farm. The late
corn is scarcely laid by, the early
corn needs cultivation, threshing
has begun in many localities, wheat,
barley, rye and hay harvest is o..
hand and the length of no day is
sufficient for the Kentucky farmer
at this time.
Excessive rainfall over large
area of the state during June has
prevented the proper cultivation or
the crops, and in consequence the
growth of same is retarded BY
weeds and grass. Pastures are in
good condition. This months re-
ports show great contrasts as to
weather and crop conditions from
different sections Of the state.
"Threshing is in full sway and
while only part of the wheat has
been threshed, it is estimated that
very small yield will be the re-
suit. This yield is estimated at 10
bushels per acre. Oats have done
much better and show yield of 20
bushels per acre; rye is given at IL
bushels and barley at IL bushels
per acre as a state average.
"Corn is reported as looking well
and with seasonable weather this
crop bids fair to be a good one.
Condition of same is given at 81
per cent.
"Tobacco as whole is doing well
though some complaint is made of
blight on the plants. The condition
of Burley is given at 81 per cent,
while Dark tobacco shows at 80
per cent.
"A large increase in acreage OF
hemp is reported this year and the
condition of this crop is given at
81 per cent.
"Garden conditions are good and
the estimate on same is given at
"a per cent.
"Soy beans show an acreage of
81 per cent. and condition of 81
per cent. while COW peas show an
acreage of Sc per cent. and condi-
ton of 81 per cent.
"The condition of live stock is
good. While hog cholera is report
ed as being prevalent in some local
tiles, no heavy losses have been
sustained due to the fact that anti
hog cholera serum is being more
generally used and more attention
is being paid to the feeding of hogs
and the sanitary conditions sur
rounding them. The average condi-
tions of livestock is follows:
