HOW CHURCHES CAN HELP CON.
SERVE THE COAL SUPPLY

To conserve coal the churches of
Versailles have decided to have un-
ion services all winter In saving
this amount of fuel the churches can
contribute to the comfort of many
poor families, as we'll as to help the
whole city. This seems like most
common-sense, patriotic and Chris
tan act, and to help things along it
would not be a bad idea for the
churches of Maysville to follow the
example of the Versailles churches
this winter. The coal situation here
at the present time is rather critical
and there is no assurance that there
will not be a serious coal shortage
throughout the entire winter.

Heirs at Law Of Mrs Alice Newell
File Suit In the Mason Circuit
Court to Break the VIII Of the
Decedent-- Claim Prsbated
VIII Was Unduly
Influenced.

sssuNssNSNs
In the Mason Circuit Court late
Saturday d. T. Thomas, Hortense KEEL
ley, j. X. Kelley, Sterling and Elmer
Davis filed an appeal from the judg-
ment of the Mason County Court
against W. r. Newell, executor OF the
estate Of Alice Newell, deceased.
The appellants state that Mrs.
Alice Newell died in June, 1917, with
out issue or descendants, leaving sur
viving her husband, w. X. Newell, and
the appellants her only heirs at law.
They state that the decedent was
tie daughter of Alexander RAIDER, who
died many years ago leaving surviving
him two children, one the decedent,
Alice Newell, and the other a daugh-
ter, Sarah, who subsequently mar
ried a Mr.. Davis, who thereafter died,
and said Sarah was afterward married
to ID. T. Thomas. BY her first mar
rage she left surviving her Eugene
Davis, who died, leaving surviving him
three children, Hortense Kelley, Sterl-
Ing Davis and Elmer Davis. By the
second marriage she left surviving d.
7. Thomas. She left surviving her no
other issue or descendants, 80 that the
above appellants were at the death
her only heirs at law.
They claim that there was pro-
bated In the Mason county court
certain paper purporting to have been
executed by her as her last will, by
which she devised to the appellee, W.
R. Newell, all Of her estate and ap-
pointed him as her executor.
They state that at the time of the
alleged execution of the paper the de-
cedent, Alice Newell, was of unsound
mind and lacked mental capacity to
make will and that she was unduly
influenced by her husband to sign the
paper; that the paper is not the true
last will and testament, and for this
reason they appeal from the judgment
or the Mason county court and pray
that the judgment be reversed and set
aside and that 1t be adjudged that
Alice Newell died intestate.
The suit is brought by John P. Nc
Cartney, of Flemingsburg, and Worth
ington, Cochran & Browning of this
city

SPRAYING FOR PEACH
LEAF CURL MUST BE
DONE IN WINTER

During last summer the College of
agriculture at Columbia received a
good many inquiries concerning di-
sease which was affecting the leaves
of the peach trees. Samples Of this
disease, examined by Dr.. j. c. Whit
ten, professor Of horticulture, showed
that the trouble was leaf curl. OBJ,
servations on the part of the men do
ing extension work from the depart
ment of horticulture showed that in a
few sections of the State leaf curl
was sufficiently abundant to do con-
siderable injury to peach trees.
Peach leaf curl first makes its APP
pearance shortly after the poisoning
season of the peach. The disease is
caused by fungus which grows in
the leaves. The affected part of the
leaf has thickened, pulled appear
ance that is more or less curled or
wrinkled. If the weather is cool par
ticularly, a reddish color is likely to
occur along the border of some of
these pulled and thickened areas. IN
jury to the leaves is likely to continue
until some time in June, when the di-
seased portions, for the. most part,
turn black, soft, and badly infected
leaves drop.
1t is not feasible to check this leaf
curl during the summer, once it has
made its appearance on the leaves.
To prevent its temperance the COM
ing spring, the tree should be sprayed
properly during the dormant season
this winter or in early spring Lime
sulphur is the spray most commonly
! used and if properly applied will en-
tirely prevent leaf curl.
In sections where San Jose scale
exists the same spraying which should
be done for the scale will also prevent
leaf curl. This spray consists of one
part commercial lime-sulphur to eight
parts water. For San Jose scale and
for leaf curl combined, it may be APP
piled to the trees in early winter af-
ter they have become thoroughly dor
mant or in early spring just before
the buds of the tree start into growth.
If no San Jose scale is present in the
orchard and leaf curl alone is to be
sprayed for, the lime-sulphur may be
diluted to one part of the lime-sulphur
to Is gallons of water and put on in
early spring shortly before the trees
start growth.

PRAISES NEW SCHOOL SYSTEM

"The best formulation of principles,
the soundest pedagogical basis, the
most logical explanation Of each bit OF
school work." is the opinion of Miss
Helen Montgomery of Chicago, ex,
pressed after visiting the elementary
school at Columbia, conducted by the
School of Education of the University
of Missouri under the direction OF
Prof. j. L. Merriam.
"Where all of tie children are
moulded to the same plane they are
all alike. In this school each chile
chooses his own field, but he is not re
stricted to it," Miss Montgomery said
DR.. Merriam has won recognition il
all parts of the United States for hi:
progressive theories in education.

AMAZING SPEED OF BULLET

London Answers. In the firing line
it has been noticed often that bullets
travelling at high speed produce tive
sounds. A man fired at from about
400 yards hears first vicious crash
That is the bullet passing. A little
later the report of the rifle comes
along.
The speed of sound has, in fact,
been beaten by the speed of the rifle
bullet. Modern military rifle bullets,
when fired, travel at from 1000 to g.
900 feet in one second. Sound can
travel along only at LOO feet sec
ond.
So it happens that when man who
is fired at hears the report of a rifle
he knows he is safe--at least from
that particular shot.
1t is naturally at long ranges that
the two distinct sounds are most no
ticeable. At range of 1000 yards 8
bullet arrives at least second, ano
sometimes more, in advance of the re-
port.
The sound of the flying bullet is
caused by a vacuum at its rear. The
air thrown fiercely back from the NOSE
of the projectile travels round ant
rushes to the rear, as water to th'
stern of fast moving boat.
Thus a crash is produced, or, il
certain cases--a kind of whining
snarl, like no other sound on earth.

The Farmers G. Merchants Bank of
Owensville, Mo-, is "going into the
hog and cattle business with the
farmers and farm boys of the local
ity," so says the Owensville Repub-
lican. The bank proposes to furnish
boys between the ages of eight and
twenty-eight years with a two
months old sow pig, which the boys
agree to take care of and pay for
with the progeny. Farmers are to be
aided in buying blooded stock in or
der to improve their breeds of stock.
This is an exceptional move on the
part of this banking institution, and
we believe the plan will become Sc
successful as to make it permanent,
