CROP CONDITIONS.

County Farm Agent Browder re-
ports great improvements in crop
conditions since the rains of last
week. The rains covered the entire
county except limited territory
about Point Pleasant and Ma
tanzas, where crops are still suf-
fering for the want of moisture. In
the northern part of the county, es-
pecially about Fordsville and Dean
field floods did great damage to the
growing crops. The Adams Fork
and Panther Creek valleys had de-
structiS floods, and much corn and
tobacco was ruined.
A very considerable improvement
in the corn crop is apparent as a re-
suit of the rains. While on account
of poor stands bumper corn crop
is not now possible, seasonable con-
ditions through August will insure
fair yield The acreage is large and
the cultivation ideal, and the future
of the crop now depends upon the
volume of moisture and the lateness
of the frost.
Much improvement is also noted
in the tobacco crop. Some of the
very early tobacco was permanently
damaged by the drouth, but larger
part of the crop responded splendidly
to the increased moisture. A sGls.l
part of the crop was planted with
light season. grew off slowly, and it
is too late now for it 10 properly de-
velop. But as whole the crop is
in good condition

TAX COMMISSIONER BUSY.

The Office of the county tax COM
missioner is the busiest place in town
More than one thousand taxpayers
have already appeared at his Office to
register their lists. For the first
time in the history of the county
system and order and business meth
ods are appearing in the matter of
assessment of the county's property.
1t has been the custom heretofore to
allow the taxpayer to place his own
value upon his property, and most
of them, assuming the other fell
low was lodging all the tax possible
did likewise, and listed at the lowest
possible value. By such methods no
uniformity was had in the matter of
assessment values. Mr.. Ward, acting
under the new law, and the direction
of the state tax commission, is care
fully showing the taxpayers their
duty in listing their property, and the
result is a uniformity of valuation.
The people want to be fair, and to
contribute their share to the burden
of taxation, and in formerly assessing
their property far below its real val
ue, did so because they believed it
was necessary to do so because every
body else was doing it, and that if
they listed at fair valuation they
would have to carry an unjust part Of
the tax burden. The fault was in
the law, not in the people. Land is
being assessed at an increase of fifty
per cent over last year and live stock
at an advance of hundred per cent,
but the burden is being equally dis
tributed and nobody is harmed.

A DISEASED MIND
PLANS GREAT CRIME

Some unfortunate creature with a
criminally diseased mind was pre-
vented, by accidental discovery, thn
commission of a fearful crime, near
Rosine Sunday morning. The man,
whose identity is yet unknown, har-
boring some malice against the rail
road company, piled crossties across
the railroad track, and loosened the
spikes staying the rails, with the
evident intention of wrecking a train.
1t is unthinkable that human being
with any measure of nationality
would be willing, for the sake of
gratifying a grievance against the
company, to send to their death per-
haps scores of human beings, uncon-
scious of their danger. A careful
watch is being kept by the railroad
officials for a return engagement OF
the depraved criminal, and IL appre-
hended society will be ridden of him
for a good many years to come.

EXEMPTION BOARD NEWS.

The local exemption board will be-
gin to-day physical examination of
the 1918 registrants, those young
men who have become 21 years old
since June 5, 1917. Twenty five
are called for to-day, twenty five for
tomorrow, and the remainder for
subsequent dates. There were 2O3
of this class and SS of them did not
claim exemption. Those claiming
exemption will be examined first.
Glass / of the first registration is ex-
hausted, and it is expected the 1913
class of registrants will be called be-
fore those put in class in the recent
reclassification. The local board ex-
poets call for about 175 men dur
ing August. This number will take
all the 1918 class of eligibles and
large part of those recently reclassifi-
ed. 1t appears reasonably certain
now that Congress will Immediately,
upon reconvening in this month,
revise the age limit, making 1t from
is to 40, and il is expected that ell
igibles from men called from the
revised age limit will be called for
service before the men who are now
in the preferred classes.

INCORRIGIBLE GIRL.

Another of life's tragedies comes
to the court house. A young girl,
whose opening life should be build
ing solid citidel for future useful
ness and happiness, casts hope to
the winds and INDUCES a present
whirlwind of revelry. F. l.. Bur
dett, of the Adaburg community,
comes to the court and asks the
Judge to assume the correction of
the conduct of his young daughter
who declines to respect parental au-
thority. He alleges the girl is dis
obedient to her parents and asso-
ciates with immoral characters, and
asks the court TO take such action
as will best serve the correction Of
her conduct. Summons for the girl

JASON JAILED.

Jason Taylor, of Hayti, deserted
his wife and baby some time ago and
repaired to Owensboro, where the
gay hours of the night stretched far
ther toward the dawn than in his
former quiet village, and with the
enlarging vision of life his affection
for the faithful Effie grew smaller
and smaller until he decided to for
ever free himself from Hayti ties by
securing divorce. Friday Jason
came over to prosecute his divorce
suit. But all unbeknownest to Jason,
Effie had secured an indictment
against him for non-support of his
child, and Sheriff Bratcher landed
Jason in Jail.

A Hartford boy, whose electro APP
pears above, lives to recount, first
hand. the terror of the German sub
marine. While all was quiet on
board his ship, the Westover, sailing
near the Irish coast, an explosion
lifted the ship almost out of the
water, and within very brief time it
disappeared from the face of the sea.
Along with a great many other sail
ers,, young Moore plunged into the
cold waters of the Atlantic and swan
on the surface until picked up several
minutes later by one of the ships
boats. For three days and nights
the shipwrecked marines were hud-
died in the little boat that was shut
tlecocked hither and thither with the
changing winds. For long hours
weary eyes searched the horizon of
the sea in vain for the appearance OF
friendly sail that never appeared.
With a rapidly diminishing supply of
food and water, hunger and thirst
added to the horrible dread of storm
that might at any moment arise to
swamp their frail craft. Fortunately
late in the afternoon of the fourth
day a favorable wind drove their lit
tie boat upon the friendly Irish
coast, and our boy, William, along
with the other members of the crew
was soon tucked away in cosy hos
pital to recuperate from his long
and perilous exposure. We devoutly
thank the god of the sea for the
favorable calm that enabled our home
boy, with his unfortunate compan-
ions, to reach haven of safety.

SOME MAYFLOwER SILK.

The permanency of the web of the
cocoon is illustrated in a fragment of
silk that came over in the Mayflower,
which is now in the possession of
an Ohio county lady, and is in a
good state of preservation. The an
cient piece of silk is now doll dress,
the property of Mrs. Leonard Wal
lace, of near Rosine. The original
garment, from which the doll dress
remains, was brought over in the
pilgrim ship by william Bradford,
and was the bridal costume of Mrs.
Wallace's great grandmother and
also of her grandmother. The ma
terial is a brown brocaded silk of
very fine texture. Mrs. Wallace is
very proud of the ancient heirloom.

DEsERTERs CONVICTED.

Ode Wilson and Earl Taught, two
army deserters recently returned to
Camp Taylor, by Sheriff Bratcher,
were taken to Hattiesburg, the camp
from which they deserted, for trial.
Attorney M. l.. Heavrin conducted
their defense. The charge was re-
duced to that of being absent from
duty without leave, and they were
given sentences of five years each,
in a federal penitentiary. II is ex-
pected that after serving a few
months of their sentence the boys
will be sent to the ranks in France

WOMAN'S HAND CRUSHED.

Mrs. Cap Davis, of the Goshen
neighborhood, had her hand crushed
in an unusual accident recently. Mr..
Davis was digging a well, and was
using a horse to draw the earth from
the we'll. Mrs. Davis was standing
by the windlass while Mr.. Davis was
being drawn up, and when the horse
stopped, feeling anxious lest her
husband fall, took hold of the chain,
near the windlass, and when the
horse started up again her hand was
caught on the windlass under the
chain, and two of her fingers were
broken.

MAY SPOIL THE BROTH.

If too many cooks may spoil the
broth there is a possible scorching in
store for the affairs of Mr.. w. A.
Maddox, of McHenry. Mr.. Maddox
and his wife are old and feeble
have enough and to spare of this
worlds goods but the problem seems
to be, who shall administer their af-
fairs. Estil Maddox, son of the old
folks. and Henry Nelson, son-in-law
and a number of the neighbors were
before Judge Cook a few days ago
in an effort to straighten out the
tangle. Proceedings had been in
stituted by Nelson to have a commit
tee appointed to take charge of the
old peoples business, but witnesses
stated the old gentleman was only
physically, not mentally. incapable
to handle his business. 1t seems the
son and son-in-law were each will
ing to assume the duty. The court
being advised, appointed a commit
tee of five, Dick Beck, Charlie Hud-
son, John Hobby, Coleman Wells
and Charlie Mullican, to advise with
the elder Maddox in the conduct of
his business, and in the event of con-
tinued family disagreement to re-
port the facts to the court. Mr.
Maddox has three or four hundred
acres of land and quite a little live
stock, but is physically unable to look
after it.

HARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY. FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1918.

day in the battle for Sergy and de-
feated them badly Tuesday, although
the enemy fought valiently.
The Germans we're driven over the
ridge north of Sergy and out of the
villages Of Serignes-et- -Nesles and
Nesles. Bitter fighting took place in
both places, but when night fell the
only Germans remaining in the viii
lagos were dead, victims of their own
valor. Very few prisoners were
taken, so desperate was the combat
which ragged throughout the entire
day.
Shells Won't Stop Yankees.
Nesles forest probably will be de-
Tended as stoutly as was the ground
already taken by the Americans.
Machine gun and artillery fire forms
the main part of the enemy defense.
German shell fire from the forest,
however, has had little effect against
the Americans. The Allied position
about Sergy also was improved by
the capture of Hill 212 to the south
east and which commands Cierges.
Determined countering by the en-
emy during the past forty-eight
hours may indicate that the Ger
man Crown Prince believes he was
withdrawn far enough and is prepar-
ed for heavy fighting before again
moving northward. II is not improb-
able, however, that the Allied pres
sure has been so forceful that he has
been compelled to the strongest
sort of rear guard fighting In order
to protect the guns and stores still
within the salient. Gen. Foch appar-
emily believes he can drive the Ger
mans to the Vesle or beyond and the
American success is a step in that
direction.
British Take Merris.
In Flanders the Allies position
has been improved further through
the capture of Merris by Australian
troops. Merris is Immediately north
of Meteron, taken by Scottish troops
last week. Field Marshal Haig's nib
bling in Flanders and Picardy is hav-
ing increasing success. In the taxi
ing of Merris the Australians cap
tured 169 prisoners and some trench
and machine guns. The
Germans are retaliating by lombard
ing the new positions heavily.
