Probably never before have artificial
flowers had such vogue as at present,
and a small corsage bouquet is one of
the best means of giving color to a
dark street suit.
There are punches of tiny flowers in
brilliant red that are very good. There
are bouquets consisting of rosebud. a
few forget-me-nots and a sprig or two

The placing Of the flower is rather
important. 1t can be pinned to the
left shoulder with good effect and looks
wen at the closing of the ruff or close
collar Of velvet and fur.

PERILS OF AMERICA
. TOLD TO SCIENTISTS

Professor Edwin G. Conklin Of
! Princeton university before the
biological section Of the Ameri-
: can Association For the Advance
ment of Science, which recently
met in New York city, told his
! fellow scientists:
! The danger that we shall lose
:. our souls is not half SO great as
: that we shall lose our reason.
: There are too many men in
+ public life who do not realize the
: difference between law Of ma
ture and a law Of one of the
: states.
+ Achievements of nations are
due more to grandmothers than
{ to governments.
!. Our destinies are in the hands,
not of rulers, but Of investiga-
: tors.
Evolution has made the whole
: living world kin.
! America is the greatest and
!. most dangerous experiment the
world has ever known.
America has the best people in
! the world and the worst people
: in the world.
!. The path of progress is the path
Of specialization and organiza-
:. ton.
It is terrible to realize that
3 most people are irrational.

BASIL RICHARDSON
A Candidate for State Senator in
GLASGOW District.
One of the States Foremost Law
yers and Most Exemplary
Citizens.

A commission as Mayor in the
United States Army. which was re
Gently issued to senator r. Ballard
Trigg, OF the Glasgow district, made
necessary his resignation as state
officer, and tie friends of Hen. Basil
Richardson, of Glasgow, have induced
aim to enter the race to succeed TO
The vacancy, an election to fill which
having been called for Jan. by Gov.
Stanley,
Ordinarily The Favorite would have
no interest in race for the election
of state senator outside of this dis
trict save that of good citizens in
terest in seeking all offices filed by in
telligent, capable men, and with no
wish to intrude advice upon the vo-
tiers of both parties in the three
splendid counties involved-Barren
Metcalfe and Adair-we shall straight
way hope that Basil Richardson will
have no opposition from either party,
and we could write a parrot dumb
giving reasons for this view.
Mr. Richardson is a Democrat, but
he is also a patriot; Mr.. Richardson is
a PARTISAN, but his zeal runs to the
straight, square, open deal for rich
and poor He has money, in fact is in
splendid condition financially, as was
his excellent father before him, but
the same thing would be true had he
been born as poor as Lazarus. Thrift,
energy and as fine quality of COM
mon sense as any man ever inherited
stamped Basil Richardson a success
from the hour of his birth. Oppor-
tunity to prosecute a course Of study
in one of the leading colleges of Ten
nessee, where he was graduated from
the literary department and later to
complete study OF law ia one of the
leading law schools of the country, was
only an incident, as he would have &C
emphasized as much had he been with
out penny at the beginning.
Mr.. Richardson would make a~sena-
tor of the kind not met with every
day. He possesses actual ability and
would fight regiment for any cause
measure or man he conceived worthy
of his efforts. When such men refuse
to hold office theyought to be drafted.
When they consent to hold office it is
a hopeful sign
If sent to the senate, aud it would
be a reflection upon the intelligence
of splendid district to question that
he will be, Basil Richardson will rem
der the state high-class service, both in
committee work and upon the floor of
the senate.

Captain January.

This story is highclass in every par
ticular. 1t was written by Laura E.
Richards and dramatized by Mrs. An
ME E. Woodall, teacher of music and
Expression, Lindsey Wilson School,
and the play was given in the chapel
of that institution lasC Tuesday even
ing, to crowded audience.
AS an elocutionist Mrs. Woodall has
but few superiors, and she readily
discerns the talent in her pupils, and
they are rapidly advanced.
There were perhaps as many as
thirty characters in this play, and
while each and every one deserve spe-
cial notice, so we'll did they act their
parts, for lack Of space we can only
give general notice, but separate
compliments were perfuse at the close
of the play. 1T was the Judgment of
all in attendance that it was the best
entertainment, given by local talent,
ever pulled off in Columbia. The per.
formers all knew their parts, and so
well were they drilled, not a mistake
was made. Mrs Woodall is to be
congratulated, and all who took part
should rest assured that their efforts
we're unanimously praised.
The story is very pathetic and ten
der hearts could not help swelling
with emotion as the old light house
keeper and Star Bright told their sto-
rieS.
The play is worth repeating, and
we trust that it will again be billed
for some evening in the future.
At intervals the college brass band,
lead by Mr.. Walter Sullivan, dis
coursed delightful music.

The Income Tax.

In a communication received by
this paper, Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, T. Scott Mayes, announces that
Federal income-tax officer will be
sent into this county and will be at
Casey Greek, January 18th and 18th,
Farmers Bank;
Columbia, January 18th 10 28th, in
elusive, Court House:
- GradyVille, January 18th and SOth,
Gradyville State Bank; ready and
willing to help persons subject to the
income tax make out their returns
without any cost to them for their
services.
How many incOme-tax payer will
there-be in this county? If you can
guess how many married persons liv-
ing with wife or husband will have
net income of $1,000 or over this year,
then you know The Collector of In
ternal Revenue estimates that there
will be 250 taxpayers in this county.
Returns of income for the year
1917 must be made on forms provided
for the purpose before March l, 1918
Because d good many people don't
understand the law and WON'T know
how to make out their returns the
Government is sending in this expert
to do it for them. But the duty is on
the taxpayer to make himself known
to the Government. If he dosen't
make return as required before March
1 he may have to pay a penalty rang
ing from $50 to 81 600, pay a fine or 60
to Jail, So if you don't want to take
on going to jail you better
call on the lncome.tax man. If you
are not sure about being subject to
the tax, better ask him and make
sure. Whether you see the income
tax man or not you must make return
if subject to tax.

DAILY PAPERS WILL HAVE FULL ACCOUNT.

One of the most horrible and dis
tressing railroads accidents that ever
occurred in Kentucky happened az
Shepherdsyille, Bullitt county, last
Thursday evening about 6 o'clock.
More than fifty men, women and chill
dren were suddenly anG without the
slightest warning killed
The BardstOwn Accommodation
train was run into by the No. Z South
bound fast train which was running
at about fifty miles an hour, and more
than an hour and half late.
The writer, in company with Mr.
@ S. Harris, was on the train running
from Louisville to Greensburg, and
was about fifteen or twenty minutes
behind No. :. On arriving at the
sceue Of the disaster the BardstoWn
train was found to be demolished and
the many dead and wounded were
scattered along the track, the grue.
some of the sight, more horrided by
the groans of wounded.
The depot was Immediately turned
in mOrgue, and the writer assisted
in placing forty-four dead bodies into
the building. Many others were re-
ported dead and dying.
Among those killed were members
Of the Phillips family, Bardstown,
who were closely telated to Mrs. Ray
ConOver, of this place. There were
many prominent people of Bardstown
and Springfield, known to the writer,
who we're suddenly dashed to destruc-
GiOn.
The full details of this horrible af-
fair will be in the daily papers.

Died at Camp Cody Menning.

News has just been received here,
stating that Estelle Blair, who was a
son Of Mr.. 10 c. Blair, died day or
two since at Camp Cody Menning,
New Mexico. The sender of the mes
sage wanted to knew where to ship
the body. The father of the young
man removed to Iowa with his family
less than one year ago, and it was
from that State the young man enlist
ed. Mr.. Blair will return with his
family from Iowa to Adair county,
and they are now supposed to be on
the way. This sad intelligence will
be heart rending to the mother and
father. When the deceased son left
Iowa for the army camp they were at
the depot to bid him good bye. They
wrote letter to the News asking the
prayers Of the Christian people for the
safe return Of their son. May God
comfort them in their great sorrow, is
the wish of their Adair county friends.

Il is Christmas Time.

This is time when religious people
and those who have the milk of human
kindness in their hearts, should turn
their attention to those who are not
fortunately situated. The poor we
have with US always, those who are
not able to make gifts, many perhaps
who are not in condition to satisfy
the lOngings Of their own children,
and these children, if their hearts
are made glad, will have to be visited
by good SamaritanS. Would it not
be Christian act to start an investl-
eating committee, whose duty it
would be to learn if there were any
real poor children in the suburbs of
Columbia, and if any are found see
that the various Churches and Sunday
schools relieve their necessities? A
religion that fails to make a man feel
like giving to the unfortunate, is not
worth packing around. Besides,
those who are everlasting selfish al e
known to the community, and a pray
er from such 80 called religionistS, is
not worth the time it takes to say it.
Go out and do something for your fell
low creatures, and when your work
upon earth is finished, and you reach
the golden gate, it will be opened by
st. Peter, who will say ''that when
you were in the low land of sorrow
you were continuously helping your
unfortunate neighbors, and now that
you have reached the pearly gate, 1
will permit you to enter and take q
seat in the celestial city, there to re-
main with the redeemed forever and
forever"
You have often seen bright faces Of
children, but the happiest ones the
writer ever saw was at show win
dow. Two little girls we're looking
in the window, filed with choice
Christmas toys. They had no money
and no one to whom they could go for
it. They wanted toy. A few dimes
supplied them, and for the gift they
looked up, their faces ablaze with
happiness and said: "Oh, sir. 1
thank you, thank you The donor
felt as happy as he had made the
children and when he retired for the
night he slept undisturbed, knowing
that he had done a Christian act
Long prayers without action never
get higher than the mans head who
are saying them.

correct. We have letter from Sem

encloses one he received from his
nephew, written in France and dated
Nov. 26, 1917. At the time this letter
