new MACHINERY FOR
LOCAL Light PLANT
THOUSANDS TURNED LOOSE BY
Ky. LIGHT AND POWER co.
FOR BETTER SERVICE.

A deal was closed Monday night
with the Ridgeway Engine Company
OF Pennsylvania and the Allis-Chand-
lers Electrical Company by Mr.. e.
G. Barrass, manager of the Kentucky
Light and Power Company, for a
new engine and generator to be in
stalled in the local light plant some
time in March. When this new ma
chinery is installed the Hartford
plant will be one of the best equip
ped in Western Kentucky and the
! service will be much improved.
The new generator connects with
the engine thus eliminating the big
belt drive and two bearings and this
Improvement will save many shut
downs in the future. The generator
is built in the engine in such a man
ner that 1t takes its power directly
from the shaft of the engine. This
does not affect the current which will
remain the same. The engine is one
of Ridgeways best and is 125 horse
power. the present one being 80
horse power.
The contract signed calls for deliv-
cry In As days and Mr.. Barrass
thinks the new machinery can be in
stalled In week. The lights will
be cut off during installation. The
lights have been somewhat unsteady
of late owing to the wear of the en-
CINE at the plant and the progress
sive management took steps immed-
lately to give the company's custom
ers the best of service.

for consideration were those Of group

originally seven in number, but 1t

T-IIRTY-THREE MISSOURI
NIGHT RIDERS PLEAD GUILTY

New Madrid, Mo-, Jan. 25.-Thir-
ty-three defendants In the night rid
err trials here pleaded guilty today,
thus bringing the trials to a sudden
end. All thirty-three were sentenced
to six months imprisonment and
were paroled on good behavior. Two
men who were on trial today were
allowed to plead guilty and were
paroled with the rest.
The penitentiary sentences of the
eighteen whose cases already had
been disposed of will stand unless the
trial Judge should parole them. The
object of the night riders operations
was to force lower rent and higher
wages.

SUPREME court HOLDS
INCOME TAX VALID
WILL BE USED TO HELP DEFRAY
EXPENSE OF NATIONAL
DEFENSE.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Legislation
to increase governmental revenue to
meet the expenses of national defen-
ses is expected to take definite shape
now that all doubt as to the consti-
nationality of the income tax has
been removed by the Supreme
Courts decision. Congressional
leaders had taken no definite steps
toward a solution OF the revenue
problem pending the courts decis-
ion.
On all sides today, the leaders
expressed the belief that the decis-
ion had paved the way for increas-
ing the tax rate on great private
fortunes to aid in paying for nation
al defense. Bills to tax incomers Of
more than s1,o00.000 as high as
so per cent. now are before con-
gress. The Democrats naturally are
gratified over the decision. In the
opinion of Administration leaders,
the decision has unfettered fruit

easier the revenue problem confront-
ing the Government
Representative Hull. of Tonnes
see, author of the income tax law,
expressed the belief that Congress
will take advantage of the decision
to amend the law materially. He
declares that without any unusual or
unjust changes, it can be made to
yield an additional s100,o00,000 an
nually. The law now brings into the
Treasury sS5,000,000 to 100000
900.

ARTFORD, COUNTY, KY, FRIDAY, JANUARY 2s, 1916

come across men of the madly dar-
ing sort, of whom any story might
be true. Two months ago an officer
was going along his section of one
trench when he found man stand
ing up head and shoulders above the
parapet, with trench of the enemy's
not 300 yards away.
at turned out that he was having
a duel with Turk. do not know
by what quaint system of signalling
they arranged it, but each one was
having one shot at the other, and
then standing up there for the other
to have the next shot at him. So
they blazed at one another while the
men along the section of trenches
looked on through their periscopes
and loopholes, and no doubt the
Turks were looking through theirs
also.
"The officer told the man to stand
down at once and not to be fool.
The duelist stepped down when he
was ordered to do so, but the mo-
ment the officer had passed he jump
ed up again and went on with the
game. His rivals shots had almost
grazed his ear. Both sides were Gag
erly looking on and observing quite
honorably the rules of this extrec--
binary game, when the Australian fell
back into the trench, shot through
the temple. The shot came not from
the Turk opposite, but from a dis
lance to the south. While the Aus
tralian was shooting some other
Turk had shot him.
This Turk who shot him was not
necessarily bad sportsman-cer-
tainly not bad soldier. Probably he
did not know any duel was proceeding
and he was not bound to honor it if
he did,"

Washington, Jan. 20.-Advisabili-

acquire portion of Northern Mexico

today. is being urged by American
citizens along the border, and has
been recently discussed with Presi-
dent Wilson, Senator Ashurst, of
Arizona. who saw the President yes

subject. The Arizona Senator today,
however. would not discuss this fea-
ture of his conference with President.
1t is pointed out by persons inter-
ested in the suggestion that Ameri-
can interests are located in North
ern Mexico and requirement of that
territory would do much to settle
present difficulties and prevent flu
ture disturbances.
Mexican problems were not dis
cussed In the Senate today. Debate
had been expected on Senator Sher-
mans resolution of inquiry as to
whether the United States made any
agreement with Central or South
American countries not to intervene
In Mexico without their consent. The
resolution. however. was referred to
the Foreign Relations Committee
without debate.

SENATE DEFEATS
STATEWIDE BILL
PROHIBITION MEASURE FAILS
TO GO THROUGH BY A
VOTE OF 20 TO IA.
FROST MAKES CHARGES
Says Governor Stanley Left Nothing
Unsaid or Undone to Con.
tribute to Defeat.

Rogers and Zimmerman, Democrats
and Stewart, Republican.
The defeat of the measure fol
lowed long and at times bitter de-
bate, during which Senator Frost
the author Of the measure, and Sen

to the Democratic party.
After the defeat of the bill the

intendent of the Anti-Saloon league

isued a statement in which he at

motives, charging that he had used
the patronage of his Office and that
the governor had entered into a

defeat Of the prohibition amend.
ment.
The Frost statement brought q
prompt and ringing retort from Gov
ernor Stanley, who issued state.
ment declaring the charge as abso.
lutely without foundation. Senator
Frost's statement in part follows:
Estate wide prohibition was de-
feated today, IA to 20. The result
of this vote is not disappointing
save the fact that some men elected
from dry districts that we. expected
support from did not support the
measure.
when l came to Frankfort al
the beginning of this session of the
legislature l very early came to the
conclusion that the fight for sub
hitting a constitutional amendment
would result in defeat, because Of
the influences l found at work In
opposition to such a measure. found
Governor Stanley was leaving moth
ing unsaid or undone that would
contribute to the defeat Of this
measure. In this connection l real
lied what power he had through
public patronage, which was unlim'
tied. am also informed from the
press and current rumor he agreed
to assist the Republicans in passing
a Republican redistricting bill tc
obtain votes from the minority
party against this measure.
1T was also urged by the liquor
people that the Democratic platform
declared against state wide prohibi
ton. This is not true, but 1t may
have influenced some who did moi
closely scrutinize it,"
Senator Frost ended his state
ment by saying that he would intro
duce a bill two years hence on stat,
wide prohibition and see 1t passed.

every woman has gone mad when she
bought her shoes.
But enough of that Some day there
will be more of it, and very soon.
Full skirts that are long are not good
looking, as every one knows. but we are
surely moving toward them. II they
sweep the ground and hide the feet, then
there is hope for beauty. Lilah McCar-
thy, in Granville Barker's plays, gave US
the first hint of this fashion last spring,
and one hears rumors on all sides that
the summer will develop 1t. However, it
is the transition stage that is to be
dreaded.
Ruffies are used all over skirt to give
il fullness, which is much prettier
method than obtaining width by plain
circular cut which says at its different
points and is apt to look as ragged as the
skirt Of gypsy before a month is over
The deep Spanish ruff1e will come in
with the other Spanish fashions The
lifting of the hips by pliable reeds will go
merrily on. The Breton basque will be
advocated in all kinds of fabrics. 1t is
mainly accentuated by full ruffle below
the waist.
Sleeves are full, so much so that they
are crinolined to stand out from the arm.
but they are usually caught in below the
armhole in various ways and are either
gathered at the wrist and finished with a
ruff1e, or held in to long, tight cuff that
is buttoned up the back
Coats and blouses are open in front
and the eighteenth century collars which
are not position in shape will be played
up Capes promise to be SO general that
they may become common before June.
