artists matinees given by musicians
from other towns in the state, in eX-
change fox artists from the Music Study
club, who will give recitals in these
towns, thus establishing a reciprocity
movement which will prove of great
value to the musical growth of the
state. At one of these matinees the

The average Fiscal Court is not

Il is not probable that the condi-
lions in other counties that voted
down bonds we're identical with those
in Henderson, but there is reason to
suspect that had the people been con-
WINGED that every dollar voted for
roads would have gone into roads not
single bond issue would have been
defeated.
The General Assembly, at its re-
cent session, was asked to provide a
sufficient number of State engineers
to bring about effective supervision
of road construction in every county
operating under State aid. Through
the activity of Senator Brock and
others VINO argued that such q pro-
vision would create a political ma
chine, the State and a large number
of counties are already committed,
without adequate State supervision,
to the expenditure of six and half
million dollars. Counties in which
there are not sufficient county engi-
neers and where the Fiscal Court re-
fuses to consent to the commission
plan will do well to go slow.
Once assured of adequate super
vision. honest expenditure and intel

rich OIL STRIKE
IN ALLEN COUNTY
KENTUCKY OPERATIONS CON-
TINUE IN POWELL AND
NEIGHBORING SECTIONS.

Some of most important develop
ments in Kentucky's petroleum fields
have occurred in Allen county, near
the Tennessee border. A recent strike
of IT'S barrels capacity defines a
new extension, several miles apart
from the main operations. The
strike, in addition to being one of the
best yet made in Southern Kentcky
districts, indicates the most import
ant extension yet made in the district
Barbourville owners of more than l.
600 acres near the new strike are
rushing drills into the field and will
drill a number of tests. Many other
operators are making a rush and will
redouble efforts in defining their
territory. A number of other good
strikes, in addition to the feature
completion, are reported from Allen.
There is talk of extension of a pipe
line from near Scottsville to Nash
vile, Tenn, the bulk of the county's
production finding a market in the
Tennessee city, to which it is shipped
in tank cars.
Kentucky operations continue CEN
tered in Estill and bordering coun-
ties of Eastern Kentucky, where some
shallow sand districts have brought
in over a hundred new operators. SO
great has been the movement of the
drill in Estill county, according to
operators returning from there. that
the highways are in deplorable condi-
ton. This greatly handicaps new
work, but no expense is being spared
in rushing work. Half a dozen new
strikes figure in the weeks showing,
all of good capacity. Runs have
greatly increased, the average week.
ly yield now being around 1000 bar
rels. Completion of a pipe line to
Campton, Wolfe county, will greatly
facilitate the movement of oil, af-
fording a pipe line through to the
West Virginia refineries.
The neighboring county of Powell
just now is experiencing an oil boom,
with many lease-takers in the field.
Some wells have been drilled, but
prices asked for for leases are out of
proportion to petroleum thus far de-
veloped, it is stated, big bonuses be-
ing commanded by territory in ad-
vance of the proven areas. This is
not keeping operators out, howevr,
and Powell county promises to rival
Estill in new work before the sum-
mer season is far advanced.
A little new work in Madison coun-
ty is making slow progress, with no
strikes yet reported. Much of this
county is under lease by operators
who believe a shallow sand pool will
be opened up.

Sudden, But Not Unexpected.

Six road bond issues were defeat
ed in as many counties last week.
Henderson county led the way with
vote of almost ten to one against
the proposed issuance of 100000 of
bonds. In the other counties the
vote was much closer, the adverse
majority falling short of a hundred
in one of them.
In view of the practically unbrok-
en- record that had gone before,
something like $6,5OO,O0O having
been raised by majorities in many in
stances representing a total of two
thirds and more of the vote cast, this
reversal of form is, to say the least,
student cannot be said that 1t is
wholly unexpected; it is almost safe
to go further and say that it is the
best thing that could have happened.
In Henderson county, "paradoxical
as 1t may SEEM" the bond issue was
defeated by the good roads advo-
Gates. The Fiscal Court had been
asked to consent to the naming of a
commission to have charge of the ex-
penditure of the money to be voted
for roads and to have the right to
employ competent engineer to have
charge of the work of construction.
The Fiscal Court refused. The Good
Roads Association then attempted
to have the election called off, Fail
ing in this, II wisely and rightly di-
rected its efforts to the defeat of the
Hbond issue.
The county that votes 100000 for
roads with the certainty that the
money will be honestly and intelli-
gently expended for roads is taking
a long step forward The county
ty that votes road bonds for what
ever amount, small or large, and
turns matters over to the unrestrict-
ed discretion of the Fiscal Court IS

BRYAN DEMOCRATS

NEBRASKA FOLLOWERS OF COM
MONER WILL LINE UP WITH
THE REPUBLICANS.

Lincoln, Neb., May 13.-William
Jennings Bryan has been repudiated
by the Democratic party in Nebraska,
which he has dominated for twenty
five years with scarcely break. In
defeating him for delegate at large
TO the national convention the domin-
ant faction in the party has, IL the
opinion of many politicians, thrown
away an election in order to chastise
and humiliate a troublesome individ-
Rual.
To keep company with his more
famous brother, Mayor Charles w.
Bryan was decisively turned down in
his effort to obtain the Democratic
nomination for governor.
Men who have studied the cause of
the w. j. Bryan backset says 1t is
threefold-his break with President
Wilson on the question of national
preparedness, his determination 20
dictate patronage and party principles
i'm his home state, and his determine
ton that the Democrats of Nebraska
should indorse the prohibition amed-
ment.
Liquor Edict Loses Votes.
The announcement he made two
months ago that no aspirant for OH
ce could expect his support who did
not come out squarely against the
liquor interests also had its effect.
The extent to which Charles w.
Bryan made himself the sole media
tor between w. ]. Bryan and the
party leaders added to organize
dissatisfaction with the commoner.
The opportunity came at the primary
election to deal both the organs
wallop, and. throwing discretion to
the winds, the dominant faction OF
Nebraska Democracy has dealt the
blow.

ti-Bryan men admit II was the Bryan
scalp, not party success, they most
intensely desired, and now that their
desire has been achieved they VIII

Lightning Rods Protect Straw stacl

lightning hOuS HrOtect otrhW otachs
For several years an Iowa farmer
has protected his straw stacks with
lightning rods in the same manner
that he protects his farm buildings.
The uprights on a stack are support
ed on a footboard which runs the
full length of the stack, along the
ridge. The rods are grounded
through gas pipes, the lower ends
of which are buried deep in the
earth. This apparatus is used from
year to year. When a stack is to be
removed the cable and rods are roll
ed up and put aside until new stack
has been built. The device can be
quickly and easily installed. Though
12.trees on this farm and three barns
on neighboring farms have been
struck by lightning in recent years,
the barns and stacks on this farm
have so far enjoyed complete
immunity form damage by lightning.

PAID DEARLY FOR VANITY
How Diplomats Precious Stones

Lean Prlvy Purse.

The princeling of the comic opera
country had sent to his minister in a
far rich country the decoration OF the
National Order of the Golden Goat. 1t
was a cheap trinket. plentifully
adorned with imitation jewels. But
the minister, being a vain man and
prosperous, had the false stones re-
placed by real ones, and wore his
order thereafter with proper pride.
Then after some years the princeling
came a-visiting to the far country.
Naturally the minister came to pay
his respects. Almost at once the
eyes OF the princeling fell upon the
order with the real stones, and he sat
as one fascinated, prolonging the In
terview with idle questions and pay
ing no attention to the answers. He
was resolving problem-for the

Miners to Have Warm Meals.

A large coal mining company has
arranged to provide warm, substantial
meals to the men working from 200
to 400 feet underground. An electric
range has been installed in one Of the
lowest chambers Of the mine. In this
are prepared hot lunches which are
served in an underground restaurant
at prices barely covering the cost Of
the food. It has been found that this
not only adds to the comfort Of the
men who had hitherto been compelled
to eat cold food. but It also adds to
their productive capacity. A marked
increase in the amount of coal taken
out was noted the first month after the
electric range was Installed.
