And soon a joyful yell:
Shoot closer and Wen land the lot,

We've baffied the attack,
Two planes are falling and in flame,
Five more are starting back,

Gee whiz. But he is fast,

And half a hundred butterflies

Haydn's OK Minust.

Hadyn one day received visit from
q butcher who said that himself and his
daughters were admirers of Haydn's
music, and as the young woman was
soon to be married he made bold to
ask that the composer write minuet
for her wedding. Kind Papa Haydn"
consented, and In few days the man
Of meat obtained his music. Not long
afterward Haydn was surprised to
hear this same minuet played under
his window. Onflooking out he saw a
band Of musicians forming a ring
around q large OK tastefully decorated
with howers. Soon the butcher came
up and presented the OK to Haydn, say
ing that for such excellent music he
thought he ought to make the COM
poser a present Of the best OK In his
possession. Ever after this little COM
position was called the "Ox" minuet.-

OUTPUT REACHES MILLIONS
Production of Hazard Coal Fields For
1916 Also Doubles Previous Years
Newcomers Enter Field.

Hazard, Ky.-Records which are
available at the close of each year,
show that the Hazard coal field pro-
duced a total of 9S9,417 tons of coal in
1916. This was almost double the 1915
output, which was approximately $780,
900 tons. A number of new companies
opened operations in this field the last
year, but most of these were begun the
latter part of the year.
A conservative estimate, should
normal conditions prevail, of the Haz-
ard output in 1917, would be million
and half tons. The largest individ-
ual output during the year was by the
Kentucky Jewel Coal Company. That
concern produced 10000 tons. This
company was the first to lease in the
Hazard field and the first to begin Op-
Grafton here. The Blue Grass Coal
Corporation came second in produc-
ton and the Himyar Coal Corporation
was third.

ROADS FOR ESTlLl ASSURED

Many Were Dissatisfied.

Irvine, Ky.-Estill county, the
"fifty-million-dollar oil field" of East
ern Kentucky, is assured of many new
roads which will be of a much better
construction than those built in the
past, as a result of taxable valuations
fixed recently by the local Board of
Tax Supervisors. Great interest has
been manifested in the equalization
boards report, as improved arteries of
travel through the oil checkerboard
surrounding Irvine are sadly needed,
say twentieth century argonauts, who
have been lured to this section by the
golden fleece" of crude oil that is
bubbling daily from the foothills
about here.
Realty and natural resources of the
county now have a taxable value of
$5,098.000, the tax supervisors have
decided, which figure represents an
increase of almost $3,50O,00O over the
assessed valuation of the preceding
year. Oil productions, royalty valua-
lions and improved and unimproved
properties are included in the returns,
which cover the fiscal year ending
September 1, 1916.
