HIRSCH SAYS HE'S
FOR THE SALOONS
Would Veto License Increase if
Council Passed il, He
Asserts.

The Hirsch ticket was filed yester-
day morning with the City Clerk by
Homer S. Deane, who circulated the
petition for the signatures. The indie
pendent ticket of Policeman George
Talley, who is making the race for
chief of police, was filed early in the
week.
The rumor that Judge Hirsch, who
is making the race for the mayoralty,
was opposed to saloons, was denied
last night by Judge Hirsch. In COM
menting on this question Mr.. Hirsch
said he believed that the license now
paid by the saloonkeepers was fair
one and as heavy an assessment as any
man could bear in order to be sue
cessful in business.
He said that inasmuch as the State
license for saloons had been raised, he
believed it unfair to increase the city
tax. 'Tf I am elected mayor, shall
veto every measure passed by the
City Council for the purpose of rails
ing the saloon license in the city. If
the council passes the bill over my
veto, then / cannot be held responsible
for this increase"
Judge Hirsch was County Judge sew
eral years ago, and was at that time
regarded an opponent of the saloons.
This led many to the belief that the
mayoralty candidate would oppose the
saloons, if he were elected chief execu-
tive Of the city.
It was said last night that the Hirsch
candidates had decided to raise the
saloon license to $500 or probably
$4,000 per year. Several candidates on
the Hirsch ticket, when questioned
about this rumor, said that the saloon
license had never been brought up
for discussion in the meetings held by
the candidates who are making the
race for the city Offices on the Hirsch
ticket.

SPUDS ADMIT YOU
TO MOVIE SHOWS
Kentucky Girl, Visiting in Cape,
Tells of Using Potatoes
for Tickets.

Kentucky moving picture shows are
accepting potatoes as admission tick
cts, according to Miss C. D. Carrigan
of Owensboro, who has been the guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. j. Henry Caruthers
Miss Carrigan, who is a cousin OF
Mrs. Caruthers, says that one night
each week the picture shows of Owens
boro admit their patrons to the show
without cash.
Potatoes of medium size are accept
ed as an adults admission ticket.
Small spuds will admit children.
1t is not known how much a potato
must weigh to be considered large
enough to admit a full-grown man, but
Miss Carrigan said the picture show
magnates insist on the spuds being
sound with perfectly good eyes.
Potato night at the movies has not
reached the Cape, but a large onion
is said to be valuable enough to cover
a moderate fine for disturbing the
peace. But onions have been reduced
one postage stamp a pound, it was
learned yesterday, which might drop
them in the soup again.
But speaking of potatoes, three
large ones that had been placed on
exhibit in The Republican Office few
days ago, were stolen after the build
ing had been locked for the night
One of them was valued at Is cents
and the other two at 10 cents each.
They had been loaned to the news
paper office by local wholesale house.
In times of peace editors are said to
eat spuds regularly, but during pc
riods of war, potatoes seldom find
their way to the editorial sanctum, ex-
cept possibly at the Christmas season.
The editors Of The Republican were
visibly affected when they discovered
the three jumbo potatoes missing
when they reached the office the fol-
lowing morning.

yesterday ny Judge John A. Snider to
April , a.ters he had completed the

dp some matters that have not been
considered.
Yesterday mornings session was de-
vote to the hearing il the case of
w. J. SegIaves against Tarry Collett.
who is being sued for nis alleged
failure to pay Segraves his share of
profits in d timber deal. The case was
not decided, as the Judge announced
that he wanted additional evidence be-
fore he would render his decision.
Several probate cases will be settled
between now and the day on which the
court will reconvene for the February
term. A number of trials that were
docleted for this term were either
continued or sent to other courts on a
change of venue.
Segraves contends that he formed
a partnership with Collett in the tim
Der business. The latter, according
to Segraves' testimony, sold some tim
Der, but failed to give his share of the
profits of this sale. Collett, however,
testified that he had not completed
the sale and had not received any
payment for the timber.

BICYCLE Thief IS
GIVEN SIX MONTHS
Curtis Adams Fousd Guilty of
Stealing Wheels BY the
Wholesale.

More than ten persons were called
in from the street as they passed the
police station yesterday morning to
identify Curtis Adams, a colored
youth, who was on trial for stealing
a bicycle belonging to Theodore Roth,
the grocer on North Spanish street.
The negro denied that he was Curtis
Adams, and for that reason a number
of passers-by were called upon to es-
tablish the youths identity. Fire Chief
Kraft acted as court usher, calling
in everyone he saw passing the police
station.
Voting Adams was found guilty of
the Charge preferred against him and
sentenced to six months in the county
Jail by Justice of the Peace Orren VIII
son.
Young Adams escaped arrest several
weeks ago by denying his identity
when Sheriff Hutson called at the
home of his parents near the tobacco
factory after he had been told that the
negro boy had stolen several bicycles.
The wheels were confscated by the
police, and the boy escaped by telling,
Sheriff Hutson that his name was Will
liam Adams and that Curtis was in
st. Louis.
The youth recently returned from
the Reform School in Boonville; where
he served sentence of two years on
a charge of burglary and larceny. He
was charged at that time with break
ing Into the house near the Court
house, owned by Hon. Louis Houck,
and stealing osne brass fixtures which
had been taken there from the old
post-office building.
When taken before Judge Wilson
yesterday morning the negro boy in
sisted that he was William Adams and
that Curtis was not in the city. Every
one called in, however, identified him
as Curtis, and he finally admitted that
this was mis- name. He denied, how
ever, that he had stolen the bicycles.

PRACTICE OF SKlMMING MILK
Skim and Milk and churn Cream, Says Clemson.

Experience has shown that in gen eral practice the churning of whole milk results in butter of a poorer fat in the buttermilk than if cream is churned, says Clemson Agricultural college of South Carolina. It is there fore best to skim the milk and churn the cream. The best way to skim the milk is by means of separator. A farmer who has only two or three cows, but no separator, may put the milk into deep, narrow cans Shotgun cans) and set them in cold water, and when the cream rises it can be re- moved with a shallow spoon. Where this system is used it usually takes about F to IS hours for all the cream to rise. Care should be taken to keep the milk cold, in order to make the cream rise rapidly. The old method of setting the milk in shallow pans should not be used, as the cream does not rise so completely as when set in deep cans in cold water; furthermore, the quality of the cream is not so good and there are more vessels to wash and care for.

SUMMER DISEASE OF CATTLE
"Pinkeye" Is Especially Troublesome During Hot Weather-Sometimes
 Results in Blindness.

"Pinkeye'' of cattle is a common disease, especially during summer months. and sometimes results in total blindness. It is undoubtedly infec- tious, and is believed to spread from one animak to another through the medium of flies The disease runs its course in ten days or two weeks, af. fecting one or both eyes.
 A profuse flowing of tears is the first evidence of the attack. The ani. for it is very sensitive to light. Grad ually film seems to form over the eye and the ball becomes clouded.
 Care at this time is very necessary and may save the animal from blind ness. Confinement in comfortable stall with all light excluded is the best. Laxative food will put the ami. nal in good condition to ward of complications. If flies are allowed to irritate the sore eyes they will prob ably spread the infection to other ani. malS,
 Bathing the eyes in strong solu. ton of boric acid is a treatment eas. fly applied and generally effective. A better method is to place a few drops of the following mixture in the eyes with a dropper: One-half grain of zinc sulphate, ten grams of boric acid and one ounce of distilled water.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most re- markable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the fem on juice through fine cloth so no lem on pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckleS, Sallowness and tan, and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Make up quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It should nat urally help to whiten. soften, freshen, and bring out the hidden roses and beauty of any skin. It is wonderful for rough. red hands.
 Your druggist will sell three ounces of orchard white at little cost, and any grocer will supply the lemons. Adv.

Plumbers.

Whenever you invite the plumbers in to spend the week and fix the kitch- en faucet you should plan ahead. Have everything in readiness.
 Plumbers are often little hurt to see that there have been no prepara- tions. Plumbers take these things very keenly.
 If a pipe is leaking and you are go- ing to have the plumbers come, move everything out of the kitchen so they will have room for their tools With good weather and no mishaps they may get all of their tools around the first day.
 Getting all the tools around is a good days work for two plumbers and q boy. On the second day they exam inc the leak and make notes then get busy planning the weeks work on it. If the leak is a plain hole then the thing is simple and they finish 1t up in smart shape within the week.
 It is best to send the children to the country when the plumbers come. Put lid over the goldfish bowl. If you haven't spare room or a stable you might arrange to have them board with the ighbors.-Illinols State Register

Took Him Literally.

A clergyman in a remote part of the Scottish Highlands was speaking at length to his congregation of the many things round us that are shroud- ed in mystery and of whc'l we know little, As he warmed to this theme, he became eloquent, and frequently re- peated the oft-QuOted saying of Goethe: More light! Oh, for light '"
 His surprise may be imagined, says the Scottish American. when, after one of these utterances, the old beadle. who had been dOzing since the com mencement of the sermon. woke with start, then got up, tiptoed softly into the vestry, seized two additional can dies and, ascending the pulpit stairs, placed them beside the two already there, and in a loud whisper, heard all over the church, exclaimed:
 "Ge maun do wi these, for there's nae mair n'-1 ouths Companion.
