Mary Cowan were probated. In addi-
ton to what his wife Mrs Mary II.

nolds gave her for life the house aud

TANKS FULL. OF OIL

There are several 250-barrel tanks
full of oil in the oil section of the
county, but the weather has been so
bad that further effort to locate the
fluid has been declared off for a sea-
son. The Daniel Boone, Co., Sylvester
Newton and The Becker lease all
have big tanks full to running over,
but they can neither prepare for a
pipe line or ship it away. 1t is very
likely that not much work will be
done in the oil line until warmer
weather, and then it will be pushed
for all it is worth. The impression
prevails that oil in paying quantities
will be found on Mr. Forestus Reds
farm, where drilling has been done to
a depth of about 100 feet and also
on the Blain farm near Hustonville.
Oil experts insist that oil underlies
several sections of Lincoln county
and say that neither work nor means
will be spared in trying to locate it.

VERY DULL COURT DAY

December court was a farce be-
cause the weather was so cold the
farmers and others could not get to
town, and yesterday, January court,
was worse, if possible. Snow fell from
an early hour in the morning until
noon and then rain began to fall,
making the weather conditions Just
about as bad as could be possible.
Very few people were in town and
the majority of those who did come
used sleighs or walked. The snow had
drifted in some place along the pike
ten feet deep and some of the roads
in the county were blockaded. Very
little was done in cattle trading and
the mule and horse market was about
as dull. The merchants had poor
day. In fact there We're hardly as
many people in town as there are
on an ordinary Saturday afternoon
and business was at a scandstill.

ALL TRAINS RUNNING LATE

The trains have been very much
out of keller during the bad wealth
er and Saturday it looked for while
as if we were to have no passenger
trains at all. No. %, due here at
l0:48 A. M, did not arrive until
$3.50 P. NJ, and No. %, which is
scheduled to arrive at 1928 rolled
in between and o'clock in the ev-
ening. No. 81, the surest of all trains
to arrive on time, whistled for STAN
ford just as the clock struck Z Sun
day morning, when it should have ar
rived at 11:17 the evening before.
All trains have been from one hour
to five or six hours late. These de-
lays must not be attributed to the
new management of the railroads,
however, but to the fearful weather
conditions that have prevailed for
the past month or six weeks.

CHARITY FUND VERY LOW

Mr.. Welch Rochester, custodian of
the charity fund, informs this paper
that the treasury is almost depleted
and that many calls are being made
on him and the other members of the
charity committee for funds, coal
and clothing. He asks the Interior
Journal to say to the people of STAN
ford that money for charity pur-
poses was never worse needed than
now and that he hopes any and all
who are willing to give will get into
communication with him. There are
many families in town who are real
ly in need of fuel and food, and if
there ever was time when charity
should begin at home it is now. If
you have any change to spare see
Mr.. Rochester as soon as you can.
Every little is help.

THE FEARFUL COLD SNAP

Since Fridays paper was printed
this part of the country has expert
enced some terrifcly cold weather.
After a blustery night Friday. the
mercury went as low as Ia below
zero Saturday morning, and the day
was record-breaker for cold wealth
er. The thermometer registered zero
at noon and few of those in pro-
tected places showed two to four
above tbeween 1 and o'clock. A
biting wind added to the discomfort
of the day, which will long be remem-
bered as the most disagreeobe even
the oldest inhabitant can recall. Sat-
urday night was another cold one
and Sunday morning the mercury
read four to six below. The wind
ceased to a considerable extent and
by afternoon a temperature of Is to
20 was shown. 1t showed again Sun
day night and yesterday was all sorts
of a day, except a good one. Snow to
a depth of eight or ten inches on the
level and no telling how deep in
drifts had accumulated and then it
began to rain. The wet snow made
navigation almost out of the gues-
tion and the few who came 70 towr
to attend court had hard time get
ting back home.

DESERVES A GOLD
MEDAL FOR THIS
Cincinnati Authority Tells How To
Dry Up Amy Corn Or Callus Sos
Ii Lifts Right Off

You corn-pestered men and wom-
en- need suffer no longer. Wear the
shoes. that nearly killed you before,
says this Cincinnati authority, be-
cause few drops of freezone appli-
ed directly on tender, aching corn
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn loosens so it can be lifted out,
root and all, without a bit of pain.
A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store,
but is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn or callus. This
should be tried, as it is inexpensive
and is said not to inflame or even in
ritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
If your wife wears high heels she
will be glad to know of this.

SAYS REV. Mr.. TAYLOR NOT
HEAD OF STATE BAPTISTS
(Courier-J Journal

My attention has been called to
some publications in the secular press
in regard to some sayings and do
ings of the Rev. j. Boyce Taylor, of
Murray, Ky. These publications are
! misleading, though not intentional.
Hence | ask that you kindly give this
statement from me place in your
paper in order to set the facts before
the general public.
1t is true that Brother Taylor was
elected chairman of the General AS
ISOLATION ut 'Paducah last November.
This, however, did not constitute him
Kentucky. The most that can be said
of that body is that it is advisory. 1t
has no authority except to suggest or
recommend to the local churches.

RATIFIED FEDERAL "PROHIB"

The Kentucky General Assembly
yesterday ratified the Federal meas
ure looking to nationwide prohibi-
ton, both the House and Senate
adopting resolution to that end Of
fered by Representative A. j. Oliver,
Republican, of Allen county. Stanley
men, by combining with Republican
members in support of the Oliver
resolution, scored over the anti-Ad-

party that had hoped, through adop-
ton of resolution introduced by
Senator L. M. Smith, of Mercer coun-
ty, to land any glory that might at
tach to ratification of the Federal

THREE sLACKERs ARRESTED

The following is taken from the
Danville Advocate: Deputy United
States Marshal C. l.. Winfrey was
recently sent out to collect" slack
err who was charged with failure to
register. The warrant directed the
apprehension of Robert McQueary,
of Garrard county, and while scout
ing about looking for young Nc
Queary the report became noised
about that "a United States marshal
is out looking for slackers who fail
ed to register" and before Marshal
Winfrey located McQueary two 9th
err young men in the Crab Orchard
neighborhood, who had heard the ru-
NOR about slackers being sought,
sought Marshal Winfrey and sur
rendered for failure to register. The
last two named men were James Col
Inns and Chester Brock. AS Winfrey
had no warrants for Collins and
Brock, he allowed them to accompany
him to Danville, where upon their
own statements, warrants were issu-
ed by Commissioner w. l.. Lawwill
and the three of them will probably
be tried at the next regular term of
Federal court at Richmond.

contest in music and literature, be-
tween the fifth, sixth, seventh and

who now is the cashier of the Trust

Accompanying the picture is an in

conditions of his town and his bank,
in which he gives both an excellent
boost. He says he takes especial pride
in stating that in all the "drives" for
money for various charitable pur-
poses conducted recently Mishawaka
has gone over the top, but notwith-
standing his bank has the biggest de-
post in it's history.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

Prince Alexander Won Hohenlohe,
who has long held liberal views, and
was among the German representa-
tives at the Pacifist congress in Swift
zerland, expressed the belief that
should the Germans as people rid
themselves of the fixed idea that
America entered the war only for
selfish and material interests, Presi-
dent Wilson's new message "can be-
come way toward peace"
1t is semi officially reported from
Petrograd that the Bolsheviki have
taken control at Move Tcherkassk,
capital of the province of the Don
Cossacks and headquarters of Gen.
Kaledines, Hetman of the Cossacks.
Another delay in the assembling of
the Constituent Assembly is likely be-
cause of the issuance of decree at
Petrograd providing for new elections
to replace members of the Constitu-
ent Assembly who are deemed not to
represent the intcres33 of the work
men and peasants. According to re-
ports from Russian capital Northern
Russia is to receive ample food sup
plies from Ukraine, through the rec
onciliation of the Bolsheviki and the
Ukrainians. The peace negotiations
between the Bolsheviki and the rep
resentatives of the Quadruple ALI
ance at Brest-Litovsk continue, but
without definite results.

RURAL LIFE PROBLEM

In the rural school of America be-
tween six and seven million children
come from the farm. Not only
every American citizen, but every
American enterprise, depends almost
entirely upon the success of one great
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. No human
agency can accomplish so much in
improving the rural and agriculture
conditions as the country school. The
gravest domestic problem that con-
fronts our country today is that of
rural education. 1t is considered by
specialists in rural educational activ-
tiles that consolidation is the most
important factor in the solution of
this problem. There is no better way
for developing the community, fos-
tering civic pride and cultivating a
spirit of cooperation, than by we'll
housed, well-consolidated school,
complete in its equipment and man
ned by strong faculty of teachers
in sympathy with rural life and I'M
derstanding the needs of a rural
community. With the rapid progress
in road building throughout the
State, it is hoped that Kentucky will
soon take her place as to better
roads and more consolidated schools,
thereby becoming incentives to bet
ter rural education.-G. Singleton,
Supt.
