TO WORK ON ROCK Pile
Two Negro Girls Get Stlff Sentences
In Police Court Yesterday-Judge
Whitaker Decides TO Get Rid
OF Nulsances.

Mamie Carr, colored, better known
as "Topsy", and Lucille LEVEL, col
ored, were tried in Police Court yes
terday afternoon on charge Of loiter-
ing and were fined $10.5O, the fine to
be worked out on rock pile on the
city's lot on East Second street.
These two negro girls, and the first
mentioned especially. have been caus-
ing quite bit of comment lately when
they appeared on the streets in scant
attire and made remarks to people in
passing along the streets. Seeing that
assessing fine did no good Police
Judge Whitaker decided that the only
course to take in order to make the
girls behave was to make them in
dulge in hard manual labor.
In passing sentence the Judge warn
ed the girls that the next time they ap-
peared before him they would get dou-
BILE the dose and If they continued to
misbehave they would keep increasing
their sentences and finally send them
to the penitentiary under the habitual
criminal act.
Maysville has no need. for such stock
as these and the sooner we are rid OF
them the better off we will be.

Miss Geisel's canning demonstration
referred to in yesterdays papers will
include three successive demonstra-

GLORY Won BY GIRL FIGHTERS
Russian AmaxOns Make Big Drive and
Capture l02 Prisoners, Two Of
Whom Were Officers.

Petrograd, July 27-Charging fear
lessly over a shell-torn field when
their men comrades had deserted,
Russia's women fighters in their first
battle took 1O2 prisoners-twO of them
officers.
Dispatches from the Dvinsk front
today added to the glory Of the wo-
mems Legion Of Death"
They gave an additional casualty
list of dozen wounded, including
Nine. Bochkariova, commander Of the
battalion.
Are Sent to Hospital
The second in command, Mile. Skry-
blova, was suffering from severe shell
shock. All were sent to Minsk for
temporary treatment and will later be
brought back to Petrograd.
The girls went over the top" in
the charge with fierce impetuosity
cheering as they hurried forward to
meet the enemy, and utterly with
out fear.
Their example shamed unstable
troops nearby, who had started de-
serting, and It was, undoubtedly, the
heroism Of the women soldiers that
turned the tide of battle in favor OF
the Russians.
Prisoners Are Chagrined
The prisoners captured by the girls
expressed the utmost astonishment and
and chagrin when they learned the
sex Of those who had so fiercely at
tackled their position.
A hundred thousand citizens and
soldiers at Poltava assembled with
bands and flags to give frenzied greet
ing to several Of the wounded women
who passed through there from the
front today.
Everywhere along the route Of the
hospital train crowds choked railway
stations to watch the Legion OF
Death" fighters and to applaud their
heroic work at the front.

KINDNESS IS OUR MIDDLE NAME

Editor of The Ledger.
Dear Sir: Yours Is the most oblig-
ing small city have ever been in.
The clerk at the New Central, though
we were not stopping there, telephoned
several places to locate the person
whom my friend and l were hunting.
Some one at your office took the same
amount of trouble and the pleasant
clerk in Williams Drug Store said
mo charge" for the use of the phone
and told us to come back again for
another chat. The only thing that
marred our day was small boy tell
ing us that the policeman arrested
people who bathed in the river with
out clothes but we really didn't be-
lieve that.
Are all your people so obliging? We
believe so.
Yours very truly,

WIRE FENCES AND LIGHTNING
ing Thunder Storms Unless Wires
Are "Grounded."

Wire fences increase the dangers Of
live stock during thunder storms, UNI
less the fences are carefully ground
ed" say specialists mt University farm,
st. Paul. Such fences may be ground
ed by running No. or No. 10 gal
vanized iron wire from each strand Of
the fence into the ground. The wire
should be twisted two or three times
about each strand and should reach to
a depth of four or five feet into the
ground. If the soil is particularly dry
the wire should be sunk much deeper.
1t should always reach down to moist
soil. A crowbar may be used in max
ing the holes. Projecting points above
the fence will help to relieve the cleo
trio tension and prevent the lightning
from striking. Field fences should be
grounded every 20 rods, and fences
about barnyards and feed lots every
ten rods ut least.

EXTEND THE TOMATO SEASON
Gather All Large Specimens Before
Vines Arc Killed by Frost and
.- Put on Bed OF Straw.

The tomato season may be extend
ed several weeks by gathering all the
large tomatoes before the vines are
killed by frost and putting them on a
bed Of dry straw. Put about ten BUSH
els In each heap. cover with straw ut
night and which weather is cold and
wet. The tomatoes viii ripen gradu-
ally and will be nearly as good as
those ripened on the vines. If frost
threatens, pull up the vines with the
tomatoes on the vines and pile In the
field. This is the method followed by
our truckers and market gardeners.
Where only few bushels are wanted,
pick the largest and finest tomatoes
and place them on bed OF straw in
the cold frame, cover with six-lnch
layer of straw. II rain threatens slide
on the sash, as they should not get
wet or they will rot.
Gather the ripe fruit for canning
or preserving and make catsup while
fruit is abundant. The small greta
tomatoes may be sold sor picking.

LIFT YOUR CORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or callus so 1t lifts out
without pain.

Let folks step on your feet hereafter ;
wear shoes size smaller IL you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that a few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn. root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
ut any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freeZone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

PONIES FOR CHILDREN
Business of Raising ShetIands
Has Grown important.
More Patient Than Horse and 10 Bet
ter Tempered--Essentiai That
Little Fellows Be Docile and
Easily Handled.

The Shetland pony is always an OBJ
iect of interest, whether seen draw
ing shining cart in the city park or
bending beneath the cruel weight of
his heavy burden on the mountain
trails of his native country. If he
were less hardy he could not endure
the severe labor he Is made to perform
In his native land, for there he is pure
ly and simply a burden bearer. Grain,
iron, furniture, coal, ore and merchan-
disc of all kinds are transported to
all parts Of the islands on the backs
of the tough little animals. Three hum
dred pounds Is the usual load for each
pony, and long Zines Of these laden
little beasts wind in and out among
the hills Of their native land.
The genuine Shetland pony, pro-
duced from the pure breeds of the
Shetland and Orkney islands, has be-
come so popular and useful that the
business of raising ponies has grown
important. The business Is not so
simple as 1t might appear at first
glance. In the first place, the progeni-
tOrs-sires and dams-are usually Sc
lected in the Shetland islands. Occa-
sionally desirable breeds may be found
in the interior of some of the other
northern islands bordering Scotland,
but the majority are found in the Shet-
land Islands.
The Shetland pony Is unlike the
horse In many respects other than that
of size. He is more patient, and as II
class Is better tempered. Mute under
punishment, patient during severe la
Dor, constant us dog In friendship,
combining marvellous intelligence with
u tractable spirit. the Shetland pony is
Of all animals the best servant, com
pGniOn and friend for children. There
sturdy little ponies that they prefer a
cart and pair TO the best trottlng
horse. They make up in strength and
endurance what they lack in size.
On farms where these ponies are
raised for the market, kindness Is
practiced under all circumstances in
their training. This is very impor.
tant, because most of these animals In
this country at least, are sold for the
pleasure of young boys and girls and
1t Is essential that they be trained to
be docile and gentle. When the little

his arms and carry about, is strong

INJURED CORN FOR THE SIL0
Where Crop Has Been Damaged by
Drought It Should Be Cut and
Stored for Feeding.

When corn is injured by the
drought 1t should be allowed to stand
as long as there Is any hope at all OF
its getting rain to complete it's growth.
IL 1t begins to die 1t should be put
In the silo, as this means what feed
value 1t contains will be saved. If it
cannot be put into the sllo just then
it may be shocked and put In later,
as tests have shown that shock corn
makes good sllage.
OF course 1t Is not as good as that
