OHIO COUNTY FARMERS
VISIT EASTERN KENTUCKY

After having the privilege of
visiting and inspecting tue great blue
grass, sweet clover, orchard grass,
and truck growing counties of our
State, in company with our
County Agent, Mr.. w. w. Browder,
Mr.. Albert Cox, Mr.. Nat Lindley, Mr..
Worth Bell and Mr.. l.. E. Everly,
County Agents and farmers of the
educational trip. and that all return
ed to their respective counties full of
enthusiasm greater determinations,
more knowledge and above all with
larger heart and better feeling be-
tween men of town and county.
Woodford county with her beauti-
full blue grass fields, wealthy estates,
fine herds of cattle and hogs, and
splendid pixies, threw open her gates,
welcomed and entertained her visi-
tors in such a manner as to present
to us a great lesson in hospitality.
When we awoke in the early morn
ing to find ourselves within the bord-
ers of Pendelton county the greatest
educational county of the entire trip
Ito Ohio county delegates) with her
once washed and barren steep hill
side, now reclaimed by the use of the
wonderful plant "sweet clover" now
dressed in it's beautiful yellow and
white blossoms, waving its welcome
to the visitors, proving its value to
Pendleton county, with its great
dairy business, asking and insisting
upon its visitors for the privilege
of assistance, and cooperation that. it
may prove it's value to other counties,
but in this county with its store of
education to us, in improving and
preserving the soils, and road build
ing, we found no less spirit of hos
pitality but even greater. for here the
women greeted us from every point,
and personally served beautiful
lunch, amidst the blossoms of sweet
clover. The concluding opinion of
our crowd was that Psndleton county
not only had sweet clover, but also
sweet women.
At last but not least, we toured to
Nelson county and the city of Louis
vile, where we met with the most
delightful reception, passed through
the great vegetable and truck farms
where our apetites were sharpened
and hunger increased, as the crowd
manifested several hours later, at
luncheon, at the offices of the Bour-
bon stock Yards, we then passed
through the rich farming section Of
the county, the fine white fields the
orchard grass with its great growth
was of much educational interest to
the betterment of our lands aud
pastures. After our tour of JefIer
son county and luncheon by Stock
Yards Co., we were entertained at
the great Fontain Ferry Park,
with a splendid banquet speaking
and theater party, thus showing that
hospitality abounds not only in one
or two counties, but in many counties
of our great commonwealth.
After summing up the lessons of
this great tour of North Eastern
Kentucky we find that our grand old
county of Ohio abounds in great
undeveloped wealth and resources
and that we need more and better
education. More cooperation and
better feeling between the farmer
and business man; between the rural
and town citizens. The foundation
of all these things lays within two
things, our hearts and good roads, for
which l pray.

YOUNG MECHANICS, DRAW FIVE WEEKS
 PAY FOR NO WORK

How two mere mechanics be- came ostensib1y supervising su- perintendentsS in a large local fac tory that takes great pride in it's system and closely guards it's emL ployes is becoming the talk of the mechanical world here.
 As reported two mechanics ap- piled for work. They were as- signed to a certain department. For five weeks they are said to have sauntered arm in arm through the factory as superintendents.
 Their system was a simple one, aided by their appearance and reg iularity in punching time cards in the proper department. While their foreman was weekly puzzled by an ability to check them from their cards, and the payroll de- partment instituted search for them in every department, their tenure was five weeks. As a re- suit they and the foremen direct ly responsible are said to have(been discharged.

EMPIRE

Mae Murray the beautiful I4asky Star who recently created such a sue cess in theN Nphotodramatic version Of the famous novel. '-To Have and to Hold" will be seen at the Empire this evening and tom orrow in the Jesse L. Lasky production of David Beiasco's famous play, Sweet Kitty 7 Bellairs, taken from the popular novel, The Bath Comedy by Agnes and, Egerton Castle.
 Since her appearance in '"To Have and to Hold" Miss Murray has been hailed as one of the foremost pho stodramatic stars of the country Her appealing ~epersonality, grace, youth fand beauty which made her so popu- lar on the stage, have been transfer sred in their entirety to the screen
 The scenes in Sweet Kitty Bellairs'' were laid at the famous English wat Eering place, Bath, during the latter part of the 18th century, when pow Rdered wigs, court1y- manners, hashing 2 twit and an alert sword were neees- sary- To present this thrilling com tedy drama, the Lasky Company sent technical experts to England to delve among the antique shops and ar Fchives of this mem oralble spot, and fbrfng with them to America, many tof the settings land detailed sketches of the famous buildings of that per s1od.
  i of the play takes place in an exact replica of the ball room at the fla nous Bath Casino, located on the Crescent, not far from the Pump Room" in which the social elite of that period gathered every morning ito drink the healing waters The curative properties of the water are more or less indefinite.
 The story has to do with the adven- ture of Mistress Kitty, the toast of the town, who becomes involved in a social scandal. and the clever way in which she adjusts matters.
 Miss Murray is supported by a cast of unusual excellence, including such prominent artists as James Neil, Jos eph King, Tom Forman, Belle Ben nett, Lu Ci1Ie Young Lucille La Yer ney, Horace B. Carpenter.
 The play was directed by James Young of the Lasky staff of directors. who also prepared the version of the story for the screen.

DOGS A LUXURY IN
 SPANDAU BECAUSE
 HUMANS NEED FOOD

Berlin, May 26.-The city of Span dau, near here, does not believe in en- couraging pet dogs at a, time when h Qman beings can easily use all the available food. The old dog taxes. therefore of 20 marks a year per dog have been radically changed. From the first of April dog owners have to pay an annual taxof 60 marks for one animal. If they own more than one each additional dog costs them 100 marks a year. In other words, it has become a luxury in Spandau to keep pets!

LYRIC

The special feature of next Sun day nights program at The Lyric will be Francis x. Bushman, in tHThe Wall Between.'s The great Francis x. Bushman and his delightful and Charming co-star, Beverly Bayne, will next be seen at this theatre in a thrilling romance of army life from the pen of Ralph D. Paine. It is not too much to say that MT. Bushman, despite his numberless successes on the screen, in his rnasterly delineation of the sturdy and resolute character of Sergeant Kendall, the enlisted man, who dares and suffers much for the sake of principle, well as for the girl of his hearts desire, has achieved one of the most notable artistic tri- umphs of his career. Miss Bayne, as always, is supreme in her portrayal of the gentle, lovab1e maiden, who isI the inspiration well the admir- ation of all those around her, admir- CTS of both stars will find in s'TheI Wall Between,' a1l-that appealed to them in Man And His Soup and oth- CT Metro pictures in which MT. Bush
 man and Miss Bayne have had the stellar patts, and yerey, very much more.
 The story of s"The Wall Between, g which was produced by Quality Pic ton of JohIi w Noble for the Metro program, deals with the enlistment of John Kendall, son of a once wea althy banker, in the United States army, and of the barrier which he finds there between himself and those, who in civil life, would have been glad o have been. counted as his equal. How, having won quick promotion and a furlough, he meets and falls in love with a beautiful girl, while garbed in civilian dress, only to be humiliated by officer of his regiment for dar- ing, while an enlisted man, to pose as a gentleman.
 How, in the dangerous days that follow, his rival, Lieut.. Burkett, the officer, who sought to shame him and later to disgrace him in the service of his country, shows himself to be not only a snob and an. upstart, but a coward as well. and how in the end the despised sergeant proves himself the better man, both as a soldier and as a lover forms a story of unusual and absorbing interest.

CHAPTER XVII.
Chicken, or steak7

On the outbreak of bygone rude
ness between the United States and
Spain, one free and entirely uncurbed
metropolitan paper, unable to ade-
uuateIy express its violent emotions
on the subject, utilized its whole front
page with the one word "War!" print
ed in red ink.
Now, however, the free and entirely
uncurbed, having risen most gloriously
in the past to every emergency, no
matter how great, positively toun-
dered in the very wealth of it's oppor-
tunities.
Saturday night. however, saw no
late extras The STORY" was too big
to touch without something more tan
gible than the word of even SO sub
stantial a man as Gerald Fosland; and
long before any Of the twelve eager
young gentlemen had reached the Of
fee, the scout brigade, hundreds
strong, were shifting over every trail
and yelping over every scent.
Until three o'clock in the morning
every newspaper office in New York
was a scene of violent gloom. The
worlds biggest sensation was in those
offices, and they couldn't touch it with
a pair of tongs! The deterrent was
that the interests involved were SO
large that one might as well sit on
key of gunpowder and light it, as to,
make the slightest error. The gentle
men mentioned as the organizers OF
the international Transportation COM
pany collectively owned about all the
money and all the power and all the
law in the gloriously Independent
United States of America; and if they
got together on any one subject, such
as the squashing of a newspaper, for
instance, something calm and impress
sive was likely to happen. On the
other hand, if the interesting story
the free and entirely uncurbed had in
it's possession were true, the squash
ing would be reversed, and the free
ness and entirely uncurbedness would
be still more firmly seated than ever,
which is the palladium Of our national
liberties; and heaven be good to us.

With the Essayists.

OF all the displays of art the essay
is the most indefnable, the most sub
tie, because it has no scheme. no pro
gram.
1t does not set out to narrate or to
prove; it has no dramatic purpose, no
imaginative theme; its essence Is
sympathetic self-revelation, just as in
talk a man may speak frankly CT his
own experiences and feelings, and yet
avoid any suspicion of egotism, If his
condolences are designed to illustrate
the thoughts of others rather than to
provide a contrast and self-glorifica-
ton.
The essayist gives rather than
claims: he compares rather than pa
rades. He is led by his interest in
others to be interested in himself, and
it is as man rather than as an indi-
vidual that he takes the stage.
He must be surprised at the discov-
cries he makes about himself, rather
than complacent; he must condone his
own discrepancies rather than exult
in them.

ESCORT COULDN'T SEE JOKE
Incident at Coney island That Prob
ably Taught Confetti ThroWer a
Lesson He Needed.


A large well-dressed man and q
handsome woman were in the Mard1
Gras crowd at Coney island. New
York They had been waiting some
time for the parade and the woman
began to yawn. Now yawning is a
very unladylike performance in pub
lie, and rather a dangerous one in a
Coney island crowd, for while the
woman had her mouth wide open and
was getting all the worth there is to
be had out of a good healthy yawn
young man bent on mischief threw
handful of confetti right plump into the
orif1ce. The woman coughed and splut-
tered, and the hoodlum shrieked with
delight. Those about him thought it
was grand joke, too-all but the
woman's escort. He reached out one
powerful arm and grabbed the skylark-
ing youth by the shoulder. Then he
brought his fist down on the young
mans straw hat, crushing it and driv-
ing his head through the crown and
partly over his ears. Next he turned
the young man around and kicked him
with all the force and swiftness that
outraged dignity and fierce anger to-
gether with great strength afforded.
II that youth RECEIVERS from that kick
and throws confetti again he will be
careful in picking his target. And,
maybe, the handsome woman II she
yawns again in hurry will not do SO
in such mob as turns out to see q
Coney island celebration.
