A Duty to Perform.

The man who makes money in a
community has a duty to perform to
that community. 1t may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case. If his gifts
are great his responsibility is equally
as great. No man was placed on
earth for the sole purpose of making
money, and the man who has this as
his ideal had better never have been
born. 1t is not an act of charity,
but the performance of simple duty
for. the man who has made money
to pass little of it on for the ben
eft of the community, even though
he never expects to see dollar of
his contribution back.

DON'T BURN THE LEAVES!

Instead of burning the leaves that
are falling just now with such rapid
ity, put them on your garden. They
make an excellent fertilizer, and be-
sides it is a much easier way of dis
posing of them than by smoking out
your neighbors, and filling the air
with a disagreeable acrid, singing
smoke.
In some cities the burning of leaves
is strictly prohibited by city ordi-
nance and strictly enforced. Many
physicians have indicated their belief
that the smoke from the burning
leaves induces diphtheria and other
serious throat troubles. At the very
least. it is an unsanitary and wholly
useless proceeding. The dead leaves
should be restored to replenish the
soil from which they spring.
In this connection THE NEWS re-
prints the following excellent edi-
torial reference from Wednesday,
Frankfort State Journal, which is
timely and to the point:
1--WE are now at the season of the
year when the annual leaf-burnlng
nuisance makes it's appearance. The
burning of leaves on the streets Is
not only az nuisance and a violation
of the law, but it frequently assumes
the proportions of menace. 1t Is PAD
practice from every standpoint and
it should not be permitted. The hres
are a danger to property and the
smoke on occasions is almost unbear :
able. Leaves are good fertilizer but
they are not good fire food. 1t is
neither sensible nor economic to burn
them on the streets. In fact it is a
waste, a hazard and an offense
against the city ordinances. The
State Journal hopes the police Will
take out warrants in cases where
there are violations"

Get Rich Schemes

If We are to judge by the thous-
ands of people who are being daily
swindled sby the numerous get rich
schemes that infest the country, the
American people are becoming per-
sicularly easy. Almost every large
city seems to be a fruitful field for
the swindler's operations, and the
: poor dupes almost tumble over each
other in their effort to get something
for nothing or fabulous returns for
small outlay, which anyone OF aver
age intelligence ought to know was
a swindle without being apprised OF
the fact. Aside from this the press
of the country is continually warn
ing the people of the dangerous
character of those swindling opera
tions and publishing reports OF the
thousands who have learned by dear
experience of the fraudulent nature
oof SO many concerns in which they
have Entrusted their all. We wouie
say it serves them right were it mo-
for the fact that the victims in man!
rases are poor people who can IL
afford to lose their daily earning
in this manner.

In the Fayette Circuit Court at
Lexington, Tuesday, Judge Charles
Kerr handed down decision that
will be of great Importance to the
travelling public in places where road
reconstruction work is going on.
Mr.. VIM. Simms, of Spring Station,
formerly of Paris, was arrested on "a
charge of driving over the Maysville
pike in course of reconstruction.
When the case was brought to trial
Judge Kerr after hearing the evil
dence, entered an order resulting in
the discharge of Mr.. Simms, and set
ting aside of the judgment rendered
against him by Magistrate Parrish.
Judge Kerr held that the public
had the right to travel over the
roads unless the county officials fol-
lowed the method of closing road
prescribed by statute. The law re-
quires duplicate notices, signed by
the road engineer, to be posted at
each end of any portion of a road
proposed to be closed, and in other
conspicuous places, describing the
portion of the road closed and the
necessity therefor, so that the public
shall at all times know what part
of any road is so closed, so that ar
rangements can be made to detour
at convenient places.
No such notices were posted at
cross roads, the testimony showed,
and judgment was entered in favor
of Mr. Simms.

Hobbies.

We have just been thinking about
present day hobbies" and they Gre
ate within us a longing for the re-
turn of the good old days of our
forefathers; days when calloused
hadns warmly clasped each other and
kid gloves were unknown; days when
at eventide the family gathered at
the old place and enjoyed the pleas
ures Of home. How different now.
Take the average family to-day and
the servant girl is usually the only
one home after the evening meal.
The father has gone to lodge, the
mother to her club, James to the
music circle, Kate to the card party,
Robert has gone down town for a
game of billiards, Peter to the read
ing room. Verify, we live in a pro-
gressive age.
