AURORA BOREAL|S
CAUSE OF ALARM
Some Thought the Crisis Was at
Hand While Others Thought
the Germans We're Bombing
the BeIeaguered City Of Haw-
esviIIe.

Probably there were more prayers
said in Cloverport last Thursday even
ing than there ever were before. The
occasion for this feast OF prayer being
the appearance of a beautiful Aurora
Boreais. A great many thought that
the crisis was at hand, and If some one
would have blown blast on a trumpet,
it would have been good. bye to Clover
port. As it was, much difficulty was
experienced by the cooler heads in pre-
venting several from jumping into the
ri, er in order to dodge the on-coming
fire.
Early in the action Cloverport's Fire
Department. headed by Fire Chief Sta
der. got out their fire extinguishers and
formed line of defense on the river
bank. There they stood defying old
Aurora to do her worst.
Julius Nolte, who is always generous
with his buckets in case of fire, opened
his store and handed them out to those
that could stand still long enough to
grab one, and they also formed line
to the river and dared old Boreals to
come any closer.
From the brilliant flashes, just above
the Western horizon, lead some ex.
citable person to suggest that the Ger
mans were gas bombing the beleaguered
city of Hawesvlle from the Indiana
side of the river, that they would be
here soon, and between old Borealis
and the Dutch, we were in heck of
fix.
In the midst of all this excitement
Wash Board came tearing down the
street saying he had seen Selam's ghost
calliopin' through the heavens, that
the world was on fire, and it was the
river for him if his wind held out, and
as he raced down the street he was
heard to exclaim: "Oh, Lawd, glib me
some mo- speed"
Cloverport's Fire Department Mt is to be
congratulated upon the heroic stand it
took, and if there is ever another
Aurora Borealis, they hope to put it out
before it frightens any one.

a man of action.
1t took just little time to get
the crowd down to his way CT
handling sale, he was so quick
in his speech and action. He
finally rounded his crowd up, got
their attention and the bidding

He got good prices for every
thing he sold. Mr.. Tinius was
we'll pleased and so was the crowd
and the buyers.
If Mr.. Baird is as good farmer

Now it is up to the voters and pat

MINT TO
Be GROWN HERE
(ByAssociated Press)

! Washington, May 22.-The feast

black mint in this country, for the
production Of menthol crystals and
oil, is the subject of a special report
by Vice Consul E. R. Dickover, of
kobo, Japan, as the result of inqui-
ries from the United States.
| Several attmepts to import black
mint plants have been frustrated by
the long journey across the Pacific,
during which the plants died. Once
an arrangement was made with a
steamer purcer to care for the plants
and they arrived in good condition,
but were killed by disinfection in en-

seeds, a difficult task since the plant
is cultivated almost entirely from the
slips.
Two widely different climatic ar
cas- are devoted to the cultivation of
mint In Japan, corresponding to the
northern Pacific coast of the United
States and to Virginia and North
Carolina. About 92 per cent of the
japanese mint is grown on the Hok-
kaldo island, where the average WIN
ter temperature is % degrees and
the summer temperature is 60 de-
grees, with rainfall of SO inches.
The remaining eight per cent of the
japanese crop is grown on Nippon,
where the average temperatures are
80 and Is degrees and the rainfall is
AZ inches.
i The mint plant requires light.
well drained soil The roots are
planted at the end of November. The
plant attains full growth during the
summer months and is cut late in
July, during August and in early
September, the third cutting yielding
the greatest percentage of oil and
menthol crystals.
Steamlng and pressing in barrels
prepares the leaves for the factories
where the oil is extracted by a pro-
cess of freezing and pressing.
