NEW WINDOW GLASS.

An English inventor has perfected
new windowglass to keep out cold
in winter and heat in summer. The
new glass is based on the well-known
principle that any gas is poor con-
ductor of heat or cold. The ideal win
dow glass to resist heat or cold would
be a double pane with a vacuum be-
tween, as in thermos bottle. But
the vacuum makes the glass so easily
breakable that this is not practical.
So the inventor has designed double
pane with space between the halves,
smoothly welded at all the edges. The
space within is pumped full of Car
bon dixOide or some similar inert
gas. If the pressure of the gas within
is equal to the air pressure without
the pane is no more breakable than
an ordinary one, and it resists the
passages of the heat or cold much
longer.

YES LIFT A CORN OFF WITHOUT
PAIN.
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to
Dry Corn or Callcus So It Lifts
Off With Fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of Freezone applied direct
ly on tender, aching corn or callous,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or callouses harden so it can
be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
A small bottle of Freezone cost
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callous. This should be tried,
as it is inexpensive and is said not
to irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any Free
zone tell him to get small bottle for
you from his wholesale drug house.
1t is fine stuff and acts like a charm
every time. (adv)

The Printers Devil"


The term printers devil as applied
to the boy who does the choring
around a printing Office has a pecul-
lar romantic history. In early days
printing was styled the "black art"
and printers were supposed to be in
league with Satan. But it was in the
time of Aldus Minutius in Venice
that the matter took serious turn.
This was the famous printer who first
published the Greek and Roman
classics. He took into his employ a
negro boy who was homeless on the
streets of Venice. The people suppos-
ed the boy was an imp from Satan
and that he assisted in printing.
Mobs collected about the Office and
were about to wreck it, when the boy
was brought forward and exhibited,
showed that he was flesh and blood,
but he was still called the printer 5
devil and every bog in his position
ever since has been SO called.

ASSESSORS CONFER ON NEW TAX
LAW.

The County Assessors from Wood
ford, Bourbon, Jessamine, Anderson.
Spencer, Henry, Oldham, Owen and
Shelby met in Shelbyville, Friday to
exchange ideas on the best methods
of taking the assessment under the
new law, which they say will largely
increase the work without providing
for any additional compensation. The
Hon. George l.. Pickett, who was a
member of the Tax Commission that
framed the bill, met with the asses
sors and explained the purposes the
commission had in view when the act
was drafted, and gave them his ideas
as to its operation. The assessors
were unanimous in the opinion that
it would be necessary to largely in
crease their working force, and Incl
dentally discussed means whereby
they could be reimbursed for the ex-
ira time and labor required. No
definite action, however. was taken.

Mrs. Mary Hibler, the venerable
mother of Messrs. Harvey and Bishop
Hibler, of Paris, sends to THE NEWS
a clipping from an Alva, OKLA, paper,
which was sent to her by Miss Jennie
Kirby, who will be remembered as a
resident of Paris several years ago.
The clipping has column of sta
tistics showing the wonderful growth
of this Western city, which
from a small tent city of a few hun
dred souls, has risen to city of s.
900, and is in the center of large
manufacturing and farming commu-
nifty. Alva has twelve churches; four
public schools; $4,000 High School
building in course Of construction; a
State Normal school with a corps of
thirty instructors and an enrolment
of 500; seven grain elevators; five
banks with deposits amounting to
over $2,0C0,O0O; IL miles of fine
paved streets; three city parks; two
daily and three weekly papers; four
hotels; four oil and gas companies;
Gig DlS plduCO, IWO
competing lines of railroads; modern
water works and sewer system; up-to-
date motor equipped fire department;
three-story City Hall; and other
things too numerous to mention, but
all indicative of live, progressive,
hustling city. Many Kentuckians
have investments there and quite a
number are residents of the city.
One of the greatest assets the town
boasts of is live wire organization,
a commercial and farm bureau COM
posed of business men who work day
and night for the advancement of the
city's interest. No petty jealousies or
party politics are permitted for one
instant to stand in the way of any
measure that is for the good of the
whole community. Which, by the
way, would be splendid example to
be followed by some Kentucky cities,
especially Paris.

The sale of ram from Walnut
Hall farm at the Salt Lake City sheep
sales the past week for 81, 500 calls
attention to the possibilities of the
sheep breeding industry in Central
Kentucky. There is big market for
good breeding stock and the Blue
Grass region of Kentucky has already
established reputation as a source
of such stock. The breeders here
have, therefore, tremendous advan-
tage at the start, and there is not the
slightest reason why the number of
blooded sheep herds should not be
increased.
The sheep industry in the United
States prior to the war suffered
period of decline Notwithstanding
the high tariff on wool, the number of
sheep decreased for many years.
Wool prices are now higher than for
years. The demands of the war have
consumed all surplus stocks and the
world will have a wool shortage for
many years to come. Under such con-
ditions wool is sure to bring a high
price for long time. Here in Cen
trail Kentucky with large local pop
ulation and two large cities near by,
within easy reach of larger cities such
as Chicago, Cleveland and even Phil
adelphia and New York, there is a
good profit in lambs for slaughter.
1t appears, therefore, that the farmer
who invests part of his surplus this
year in establishing herd of sheep
or increasing herd already estab-
lished will make no mistake.

pany is Just the sort of girl for us
and for any worthy man to marry.
But you, We pining, moping, mortgag-
ed, music-murdering, novel-devouring
daughters of fashion, and idleness,
you are no more fit for matrimony
than pullet is to look after fam
lily of fourteen chickens.
The truth is, dear girls, you want
more liberty and less fashionable re-
straints, more kitchen and less parlor
more leg exercise and less sofa, more
pudding and less piano, more frank
ness and less modesty, more break
fast and less hustle. Loose yourselves
little, enjoy more liberty and less
restraint by fashion, breathe the pure
atmosphere of freedom, and become
something as lovely and beautiful as
the God of nature designed.

Why Some Towns Grow.

The reason why some towns grow
is because there are men of push and
energy in them who are not afraid to
spend their time and money to boom
the town. They erect good build
ings, organize stock companies and es-
tablish factories, secure railroads,
work for public improvements and
use every means in their power to in
duce people to locate in their city.
Wherever they go they tell of the
advantages CT their city, they write
about them in every letter, they send
circulars and newspapers to all whom
they think they can get to visit the
city, and when anyone visits them
treats him so kindly that he falls in
love with them and their city at
once. 1t is enterprise and everyone
pulling together that makes a pro-
gressive town and don't let the fact
escape your memory.
To hear every person saying some
thing pleasant about its people and
its interests is the surest, quickest
and easiest way to make town at
tractive to a stranger. One OF the
best ways in which to make a town
attractive with that sort of attrac-
ton that will draw other people to it
is for every man and every woman
to have a pleasant word for the peo-
pie and the town generally.
Talk up your town if you would
have it do we'll Talk up your town
if you would have others come to
you. Talk up your town if you would
feel an interest in it, and have its
people feel an interest in you. There
is no better way to do it. And many
a time one little word of unpleasant
reference to something that does not
exactly suit you and not particularly
concern you as to that matter, will
turn a good mans influence away
from your town and may even drive
him away At your own fireside,
talk up your town. Among your
your neighbors talk up your town.
When you come in contact with
strangers, talk up the most potent
agency ever set in motion for helping
your town.
