3Ol,23O persons. His own Stats
tics show he has cut 41,622 heads
of hair. He averages $50 shaves
and 20 hair cuts a week.
"Andy's" father opened the first
shop in Shullsburg in 1866, and
managed it until 1887, when his son
took charge. Three sons of Andrew
have likewise been BARRIERS in the
same shop. but are now engaged in

TO remove her illiteracy if the slogan
NO Illiteracy in Kentucky in
192O"-is realized. If other coun-
ties worked like Clay and Leslie and
Cumberland, for instance, there
would be no illteracy in the State
in 1918. In these three counties L.
967 persons learned to read and
write in 1916. In number of
counties as many as one hundred
were taught and in some fifty men
and women learned to read and
write. During this winter, many
citizens are teaching. Some editors
are teaching and some doctors are
teaching, some bankers, some law
yers and judges, some women and
even children are teaching one to
read and write. A woman in Yer
sailles has taught seven in her home.
A little girl in Winchester has
taught four colored illiterates. The
president of the Illiteracy Commits
sion, Mrs. Stewart, while directing
the Statewide campaign with its
heavy duties, has taught one, her.

FIVE CENTS A MILE.

Within a short time the price of a
