LONG LOST GRIP RECOVERED

A few days ago Mr.. John W. Boul-
den, of Maysville, received grip"
with contents intact, lost at the
Confederate reunion at Birming-
ham, Ala, in May, 1916. 1t was
sent by lady who wrote that 1t
was found in her husbands garage
with other baggage left by Boy
Scouts after the Washington reun.
ion Mr.. Boulder had never been
able to get any response from off,
cial quarters where he checked the
grip" and was given a wrong du-
plicate.
Now there may be a chance for
Jim Allen, of the Cynthiana Demo-
crat, to find his gold-headed UNI
brella left standing in the Cynthi-
ana National Bank many, oh, so
many years ago. Even Col. Grad
docks watch lost in the Paris fair
grounds in 1916 may yet turn up.

WINCHESTER BLOCK THREAT
ENED BY BIG FIRE.

Fire which broke out in the sta
bic in the rear of the Rawlins Rack
ct store, in Winchester, Tuesday
night at 1890 o'clock, entailed q
damage estimated by the owners as
between $1,000 and $4,000 and for
a time threatened a greater por-
tion of the North Main street busi-
ness section with destruction. SUI
perior efforts of the fremen who
surrounded the blaze and kept it
confined to the building where it
originated prevented a larger dam
age, as for time it looked as
though several adjacent buildings
would be destroyed. The loss is
only partly covered by insurance.

DENIES THE STORY.

Mr.. Clarence Lebus affects to find
considerable amusement in the story
that has been going the rounds Of
the press in regard to recent
transaction which is said to have
happened in the meat line on his
farm pear Riddles Mills. The Gym
thiana Democrat says:
"A press dispatch which was
printed in the daily papers Ct Tues
day, telling of the depredations of
thieves who stole and slaughtered
fifteen fine hogs on Mr.. Clarence
Lebus' farm, and left the heads and
hides, caused considerable amuse-
ment at Mr.. Lebus' office in this
city. Mr.. Lebus says that if he has
lost any hogs he doesn't know it."

persons partially deaf can hear over
the telephone. The receiver has q
trumpet-shaped design, with a flut-

also claimed for it that it does away

The youngest screen actor in the

Royal Northwest Mounted Police.
A four-day-old baby was used in the
opening of the story. Rather it
was four days old when it began the
picture and five days old when it's
career as an actor was temporarily
halted. The mother of the infant
was still in the hospital and the
baby was brought to the Triangle's
Culver City studio by a trained
nurse. Not very many children
can boast of having earned ten
dollars at the tender age of five
days.

PRIZE LIST OF $1,000
FOR STATE FAIR
COUNTY EXHIBITS

Through the efforts Of Commissioner
Of Agriculture Mat S. Cohen the agri-
cultural products of Kentucky will &C.
cupy a very conspicuous and distinc-
tive position at the fifteenth annual
Kentucky State Fair, to be held In
louisville the week of Sept. 10. This
year the prize list for county exhibits
has been placed at the remarkable fg-
ure OF $1,000 and In consequence the
attention of the entire agricultural In
terests of the state will be centered on
this particular feature of the big an
nual celebration. The prize list was
announced the first part Of the year
as reaching the sum Of S700. This sum
was increased recently through the eff
forts of Mr.. Wood Grady OF the Louis
vile Chemical works and OF the ag-
ricultural committee of the board
of trade. He induced the board of
trade members to vote an additional
sum Of 500 and his firm TO add anoth-
er 800 TO this amount, thus securing
for the county exhibitors of the state
the unprecedented sum total OF $1,000.
As the list now stands the county WIN
ming first prize will receive $500 IN
cash, the county winning second prize
viii receive $3.50 and the winner Of
third prizs Will receive $3.50. This lifts

TINE Kentucky State Fair belongs
i to the people, is Of the people
and for the people, but credit for
this great achievement, which during
a period Of fourteen years has meant
much to the commonwealth at large
and which now bears vital relation to
the welfare Of the state, belongs In
fullest measure to two officials, the
commissioner of agriculture and the
State Fair secretary.
Upon the shoulders Of these two men
falls the burden of responsibility for
the gigantic undertaking Of summing
up in one festal week the agricultural
and live stock industries, accomplish
ments and achievements of the entire
state for the year, and both must be
possessor OF abilities beyond the ordi-
nary measure of man.
Commissions Cohen's Fine Record.
Commissioner Of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen steps into the arena of State
Fair accomplishment this year with the
poise and assurance of a prior years
unequaled and universally applauded
success In the handling of his colossal
task and with the pre-eminent satisfac-
ton Of knowing that he has succeeded
in adding to the fifteenth annual Ken
lucky State Fair, to be held In Louis
Vile the week Of Sept. 10, the most re-
markable features ever associated with
a State Fair Spectacular among his
lfoh rnnnf 10 fhn caarIrtner Of ha
$4,000 stake for FIVE gated saddle
horses and the unprecedented increase
to $1,000 In premiums for county ex-
hibits. Both these brilliant feats are
In direct line with the appeal of the
Washington government for a stimula-
ton and increased activity in stock
raising and food production and fol-
lowed his several consultations at
Washington with national bodies I'm
regard to keying up the state to its
highest point of output both in food as
well as stock. From these meetings
resulted the governments decision to
get behind the State Fair with exhib-
its which will double its already NAM
moth list of attractions.
OF keenest interest to the public In
general will doubtless be the govern
mental showing on manikins of the
arms, uniforms and paraphernalia of
all the nations now engaged In the
great European war, together with
war planes and weapons of destruc-
ton. Government officers say that the
country has been combed for cavalry
and artillery horses, and Commission
err COhen's great plan and splendid
achievement in securing for the State
Fair the $4,000 stake, as announced,
comes at a psychological time and is
expected to have a saving stimulus on
