though they are part of what lis best

choose them for guidance in the set

House is q good fighter also, but the
gift In which he so n Eaoly excels is
practical wisdom.
Three times has the president sent
Colonel House to Europe to represent
his views and to bring back informa-
ton. That he found a man so fully
able to carry such responsibility is
one of Mr.. wilson's surest triumphs.
He has never been more profoundly

When some genius comes to write
the history of the Wilson admins
tration, or when some other genius
summarizes with art as well as knowl-
edge the biggest of all wars, an in
eyttahle figure in the story--out-
standing, facinattng, and difficult to
draw--will be that OF Edward Man
dell House, first of Texas. then of the
United States, and finally OF the
world. He viii stand out In history
because of the important contribution
he has already made, and possibly be-
cause Of the still greater contribution
he NAV make, In helping to steer
the drifting nations into safety. The
portrait, properly drawn. will be Tas-
cinatinR because the personality por-
trayed Is charming, unusual. and in
a sense mysterious; and 1t is difficult
to draw because its significance and
it's distinction lie not in features sa-
lient and easily apprehended, but in
harmony, balance and business. Too
frequently a great stage is the grave
yard of regulations made In small
setting, but Colonel House has proved
adequate to the post OF counsellor-in-
chief, and lieutenantin- chief to our
president at a time when the very

According to recent act OF the
Legislature there is to be one day
in each scholastic year of the pub
lie and high schools of the State OF
Kentucky known as Temperance
Day which day is designated to be
the fourth Friday in October OF
each year.
The State Superintendent shall
have prepared and furnished in due
time to every teacher OF public and
high schools in the state suitable
program to be used on Temperance
Days. He shall also furnish pla-
cards printed in large type, setting
forth in attractive style statistics,
epigrams, notices and up 10 date
scientific truths showing the evils
of intemperance, especially from
the use OF alcoholic and and intox-
icating beverages of all kinds and
cigarettes.
1t shall be the duty of every
teacher in the state, paid entirely or
in part by the state to keep posted
in conspicuous place i'll the school
room occupied by said teacher,
one of these placards.
The Times indorses every word
of the above law, and feels proud OF
the old Commonwealth for passing
such measures. We are doubly
proud of the law because it includes
cigarettes which is contributing so
largely to the downfall of our boys
capabilities.

Report on the Stanton Field.

The oil reporter of the Lexington
Herald Tuesday gave the following
account of the Stanton field:
The Republic Oil Company, of
New ork, has let contracts for
three wells to be drilled in the STAN
ton district, of Powell county, two
miles northwest of the production
of Dugan, Braden and Atkinson, at
Stanton. These wells will be drill
ed on the Worth Garrett, Robert
Conlee and Edward Rose property.
II. III. Cranston has the contract.
Three-fourths of a mile west of the
property of John Williams, which
contains the only two producing
wells in the new field, where Atkin-
son and others are drilling a test.
The Herald evidently has forgot
ten the well on the Robert Even
lease this side of Stanton which is
also q good producer.

First Buckwheat Flour Here.

The first buckwheat flour we ev :
er saw on the local market was
brought here this week. The flour
went like hot cakes, but we do not
know that the buckwheat cakes
went so fast, for it is said that a
fondness for them must be acquired
by use. The flour sells for 10
ccn.s c pouad wh;ch 20 sell at TIA:
yields the retailer very small profit.
Beyond that it looks like another
case of war prohteering when it is
learned that buckwheat brings the
farmer much less on the bushel than
regular milling wheat.

Sound Counsel for Farmers.
Ny Dear Farmer

My Dear Farmer
You are getting ready as fast as
you can for the planting of corn
and other crops and / want to urge
you to make sure that you have
thoroughly prepared your land be-
fore planting. This is the first cul-
tivation in other words. Remem-
ber that deep blowing and then
shallow cultivation, cultivating
when needed are the things that
help to make a goog crop. Are you
sure you have seed-corn? There is
enough good seed-corn in Powell
county to plant the acreage if you
will see to getting it. In more cases
you ought to plant it thicker on the
ground than you ever did before
better to pull it up than have half
a stand this year.
| know you are trying to put in
more and bigger crops than you
have ever before but you are doing
your part just the same as the boys
in the trenches. The garden should
not be neglected this year, the live
stock, Especially breeding stock
and everything that can be produc-
ed on the farm. Powell County
Bank still has a few pure bred
eggs for sale at 81 90 per setting.
You need to increase your poultry
flock for you remember the price Of
poultry and eggs last winter.
Remember the meeting on Sat-
urday, April 9th, for the purpose
of putting in LIMESTONE Pull
VERIZER in the county. Meeting
to be at Stanton at 100 p. M.
Bring your neighbor along with you
and help to put this county on the
map in an agricultural way.
Yours for bumper crops this year,
H. II. Harrison,
County Agent.
