CRAZY" NEGRO ESCAPES

Just a short time after the author
tiles of the Eastern State hospital
had mailed a letter last Wednesday
to the prison authorities at Frank
fort to the effect that James Holley,
negro, who was sent to the hospital
from the State Reformatory, was
not insane and asking them to send
for him, the negro made his escape
and up to this time he has not been
located.
Early Wednesday Holley tried to
push past one of the attendants, but
he was caught and returned. Later
in the day, however, the negro was
missed and it is not known how he
made his escape.
Holley, who was sent to the re-
formatory from Mt. Sterling on a
malicious cutting and wounding
charge, was brought here several
months ago because it was thought
he was insane. After keeping him
under care for some time, the hospi-
tai authorities came to the conclus-
ion he was sane and was trying to
"play crazy" In some way or an
other it is thought the negro heard
he was to be sent back to prison,
and he made his getaway.
The escaped negro is described as
being 90 years old, very black, five
feet, eight inches in height. When he
left the hospital he was wearing a
green hat, dark checkered suit and a
hickory shirt.-Lexington Leader.

WHY TOWNS GROW

It is a great problem in commune
ity psychology why some towns grow
and others remain stationary. Most
of US can see marvellous changes IN
this respect. We can look back at
a certain pair of towns, and find in
the language of the Scriptures, that
one was taken and the other left.
At the start the two seemed much
alike in situation, size, and character.
But one town had in it the elements
of growth Soon it became stable
city, known far beyond the confines
Of it's own state.
The other remained as it was,
pleasant and friendly, and not bad
place to live in. But it could not
grow. The ambitions of it's citizens
were disappointed. It's people keep
along in the same rut today that they
plodded through rs years ago.
What makes the difference? Why
does one go ahead, and another stand
still?
Growth is a natural ambition for
any town to entertain. Our people
here in Ruston cherish it. We have
the elemnts for good businss and
agreeable living. But the future is
hidden from us. Have we in our
selves the elements of advance or
were we built on stationary model?
Some conservative people are not
ambitious for growth. They ike
their cozy little circle as it is, and
do not cordially welcome newcomers
in town. But that is not the Amer
lean spirit. Every wide awake town
wants to double in population and
business. Growth if rightly handled
should bring new advantages, new
wealth, more favorable conditions Of
living. Let US give thought then to
the conditions that prevail in grow
ing towns and in stationary towns, SO
that we can form an impression to
which class our future is likely to
belong.-Ruston Leader.

Steel Soldier Fires
400 Shots Quickly

An automatic soldier" is one of
the latest developments in weapons
of war.
A Danish engineer has recently
taken out patent for an apparatus
to which he has given this name. It
consists of steel cylinder normally
with large cylinder, the whole be-
ing sunk into the ground vertically.
By means mechanicanism operated by
wireless the inner cylinder rises to
a height of 18 inches from the ground
and simultaneously an automatic
rife mounted on the inner cylinder
fires 400 shots in any given direc.
ton.
These automatic soldiers" can be
controlled from a position some four
or five miles behind the line of de-
Tense, according to the inventor. They
may be seen by the enemy only when
they rise from the ground.
From trials already made it has
been shown, so it is reported, that a
few hundred of these steel soldiers
can easily defend position against
infantry attacks, however numerous
the opposing force may be. They
blaze away their 400 shots without
fiinching and never retreat. In order
to overcome the "automatics they
must be destroyed one by one.

Beast Of Berlin"
Notable Picture

Inner secrets of the life of William
Hohenzollern are to be revealed in
"The Kaiser, the Beast Of Berlin"
the super-ilm attraction at the Magic
City Theater August 7th and 9Th.
In a screen time of one hour and
half the coarse brutality, the sensu-
business, the egotisnl, the selfshness
of the man who has sacrificed more
blood than has been shed through the
war in all ages will be pitilessly ex-
posed in picture that will bring
home every American just what
American boys are fighting for over
seas.
There is no guess work or fietioniz,
ing about the picture. 1t is founded
on "The Private Lives Of Wilhelm
II and His Consort," written by
Henry w. Fischer, from the private
diary of Ursula Won Eppinghoven for
nine years hOfdame to the kaiserin
It is not war picture, but it shows
better than anything ever written or
portrayed the nature of that beast
America is fighting. 1t is filed with
action. 1t took New York by storm
and New York papers agreed that it
has done more to wake the people of
the metropolis to a realization of the
nature of the task that American is
facing than any other agency.
The picture is not one OF battle
fields, but is complete expose of one
mans murderous, treacherous and
lecherous soul. It is a drama of mad,
ruthless ambition, a shocking revela-
ton of the secret Instincts of the
most sinister character in all history.
1t has been proclaimed an absorbing,
thrilling, dramatic story that reaches
the pinnacle of artistry through its
daring conception and opulent stage
settings. The Photographic effects are
such as the world has seldom seem

PARIS, July 23.-'Your country
is proud of you, and am more than
proud to command such men as you.
You have fought splendidly
General Pershing thus addressed
wounded American soldiers lying in
the American Red Cross hospitals in
Paris yesterday. In each ward of
every hospital he talked to the men.
He inquired if they were being well
cared for, how and when and where
they were wounded. What regiments
they belonged to and expressed his
sympathy to scores of patients.
"No one can ask more of any fight
ing force than they should do as
well as you have done," he said to-
his troops. The General asked Major
James H. Perkins to say to each in
dividual man
"The American people are proud

When the Blue stars Turn to Gold
We don't seem to know till we've lost
Just how much a thing is worth.
And then when it's gone we discover
Twas the most precious thing on
earth.
Something we priced In its newness.
Grows dearer as 1t grows old.
And that which we treasured as
silver
We discover Is purest gold.
Perhaps today you are treasuring
A wee flag Of red and white.
1t is hanging in your window
Through the day and night.
And on its white heart is cleaning
A star of heavens own blue.
A star for your boy who Is fighting
For his country and for you.
Our service flags are crimson;
How we glory in each star;
How we love our boys and miss them,
And how proud Of them we are.
And, If God, in His infinite wisdom,
Should call them to his fold;
We still fly the flag Of crimson,
But the blue star now is gold.
Oh boys, in the flush Of your man.

How you answered that call TO

How you came from the towns and
cities,
From the villages and the farms.
How we glorified in your going;
And we ask dear God to hold.
And to help us If the time comes
When your blue start turns to gold
And we're sending you this message.
To that land across the foam:
To tell you how the home folks
Are praying for you at home.
And II you should never come back.
You must know that time grows

We shall treasure that flag of GRIM
