Stock Not Collectable
Says Referee Worthington OF IN

The many Lincoln county stock
holders in the defunct Rural Credits
Association, are much interested by
a decision handed down by William
WorthingtOn, referee in bankruptcy
and special master of the United
States District Court in which he adj
judged the association insolvent. The
ruling, if upheld, will throw the assoc
citation into bankruptcy under the
Federal law and take it out of the
hands of the receiver, R. J. Colbert.
Four arguments were submitted in
the case The fourth was that the
company did not comply with the
Kentucky Statutes, Section 543, re-
curing that at least so per cent. of
the capital stock be subscribed before
a company many undertake to do bus
mess. This was sustained by Mr.
Worthington, who further held that
the time they were taken, but that
they beeamefvoid because the associa-
a receiver before the so per cent. was
subscribed, and that the association,
therefore was insOlvent.
Mr.. WOrthington's decision is to
the effect that the unpaid stock, sub
scriptions are noncollectable, holding
that the corporation never legally
completed incorporation. The other
three arguments, one that the COM
pany was conceived in fraud, another
that it was impossible from the be-
ginning to carry on its undertakings,
and its subscription contracts void,
were not made part of the insolven-
cy decision, which upholds ouly the
one argument cited.

FIRED VOLLEY
AT BURGLAR
LATE Morgan and o. L. Minks Made
Ii Hot For Midnight Marauder
At Milledgeville Sunday

LATE Morgan and his son-in-law,
o. L. Minks, who runs the auto bus
between Stanford and Danville, came
near getting" a burglar who broke
into Mr.. Morgan's store just west of
Milledgeville, in the west end of this
county, Sunday night. They emptied
two revolvers at him at close range,
but so dark was the night that the
midnight visitors escaped the bullets
and made off in the darkness. He
carried with him a sack of -four, lot
of meat and other groceries, but did
not get into the cash drawer of Mr..
Morgan's store.
The intruder was first heard by
Miss Irene Morgan as he gently shook
the front door of the store, which is
located right next to the residence.
Miss Morgan then heard him go to
the rear and force open a window.
Her mother heard him too and they
informed Mr.. Morgan and awakened
Mr.. Minks, who with his wife were
spending the night with her parents.
The two gentlemen got out their re-
volvers and Started out to intercept
the burglar as he came out the win
dow He had evidently become alarm
ed for he was leaving as they got out
the door. 1t was so dark they could
not see him but they called on him
to halt and when he did not give
any evidence of doing so, they open
ed up their artillery at him, but the
visibility was so bad, they probably
did not incapacitate him from max
ing strategic retreat, though both
are of the opinion he must have car
ried some lead away with him. They
think there must have been a couple
of men mixed up in the deal to have
gotten away with the amount of loot
which Mr.. Morgan missed from his
store next morning.

Acids In Stomach
Sour the Food and
Cause Indigestion
"Pape's Diapepsin" Fixes Sour,
Classy, Upset Stomachs
In Five Minutes

You don't know what upset your
stomach-which portion of the food
did the damage-do you?
Well, don't bother. If your stom-
ach is in revolt; if sick, gassy and
upset and what you just ate has fer
mented and turned sour; head dizzy
and aches; belch gases and acids and
eructate undigested food; breath
foul, tongue coated-just take a lit
tie Pape's Diapepsin to neutralize
acidity and in five minutes you Won
der what became of the indigestion
and distress.
Millions of men and women today
know that it is needless to have dys-
pepsia. A little Diapepsin occasional
ly keeps the stomach sweetened, and
they eat their favorite foods without
fear.
If your stomach doesn't take care
of your liberal limit without rebel
lion; if your food is damage in
stead of a help, remember the quick
est, surest, most harmless antacid is
Pape's Diapepin which costs only
fifty cents for a large case at drug
stores. It's truly wonderful-it stops
food sourng and sets things straight,
so gently and easily that it is really
astonishing. Your stomach will digest
your meals if you keep acids neutral
lied. ISL

Cincinnati Man Tells How To Shrivel
Up Corns Or Cslluses So They
Lift OFF With Fingers

Ouch !? 10! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town if people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
a few drops of drug, called free
zone when applied to a tender, ach-
ing corn or hardened callus stops
soreness at once, and soon the corn
or callus dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says freezone dries immediate
ly and never inflames or even irri-
tates the surrounding skin. A small
bottle of freezone will cost very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively remove every hard or soft corn
or callus from ones feet. Millions of
American women will welcome this
announcement since the Inaugural
ton of the high heels. If your drug
gist doesn't have freezone tell him to
order small bottle for you. ISL
