NO TIME TO "swAP HORSES"
(From Danville Messenger)

tFr0m DanVllle Messenger
The President says that "the world
is on fire." Now is no time to fire
the chief of the fire department or
any of his trusted lieutenants. Now
is no time for raw recruits, for swap
ping horses in mid-stream, but for
letting well enough alone. Now is
no time for politics of any kind at
Washington. Now is the time most
of all in the history of this govern
ment for sober, experienced heads at
the national capital. The Messen-
ger has already called the attention
of the Democrats of this Congress
sional district to the continuing rule,
or ruin policy of some of those WHO
have been fer months trying to 81
out opposition to Congressman
vey Helm, and now wants TO INC
warn them that these gan, III 'ne
face of the fact that fhere mas new
er before been .s~general a dehaho
for renominaefon, are attempting to
center on particular candidate.
whose>Tery entry would bring up
vote1osing issue, and whose even
talked-of entry has so delighted the
Republicans of the district that they
have already begun a fight for the
Renublican nomination in district
which Helm has been carrying by
from two to three thousand major
itv. It means that a few men care
little enough about Democratic sue
cess in November, and enough about
their little personal grievances, to
get Helm opposition at any cost, and
not with any real hope of defeating
him for the nomination. AS those
nicked for the sacrifice one by one
decline to be led to the slaughter,
they are now trying to persuade one
to enter by spreading the absurd re-
mort that Mr.. Helm may not make
the race. We do not believe that
Shelby county, or Shelby county
man. can be made a party to such
scheme, suicidal from party stand'
point and peculiarly unbecoming
from several other angles. We don't
believe that any large number OF
Democrats in such county can be
worked for such scheme against
man whose other constituents nave
good humoredly accused him OF sig
nally partial efforts on behalf o.
that county We do not believe tina
a young man, after getting votes TO-
himself in a smaller race by proml
SEES not to enter this one, will b.
made party to plan that can no
possibly avail him anything, blu
which may lose the district to tn
Republicans, thereby increasing tn
danger of losing Kentucky and tn
presidency in November.

SHERIFF SELLS A LOT OF LAND

Sheriff J. G. Weatherford held his
annual public sale. Monday. He Of
fered in front of the court house all
of the property in the county upon
which the state and county tax has
not been paid. Most of the tracts
which had to be advertised were
bought in by the Estate and Coun-
ty," as their owners did not appear
to protect them, and this operates to
cloud the title of the owners to the.
property sold unless settlement is
made for the taxes.

Chorus girls have ever been afiiict-

in the smart musical comedy, mo
body Home" which John p. SlOcum
will present at The Playhouse on Feb
ruary and 3, are no exception to the
rule. All of the young women feel
they are exceptiona, to the usual

speak. And what is more to the point
the New York and Boston critics
agree that Nobody Home" chorus
girls know how to speak their lines.
The young women of the company
now wear their stockings rolled down
to their ankles, which is quite start
ling. Not satisfied with this the girls
wear ankle bouquets of flowers, an
other of the new fads. Each girl has
her own distinctive perfume, and her
own individual formula of the disull-
ed blossoms. Some of the scents come
from far away Arabia, and other7
come from the gums of Persia. The
Nobody Home" chorus girls are most
insistent that as soon IS women real

tions, this fad will be in general use
and that it will mean much happi
