BIG LAND SALE

The Wakefield Davis Realty Co.,
Of Shelbyville, Ky, whose ADVERTISE
ment appeared in our paper two
weeks ago held a successful sale Of
543 acres for the w. L. Brown heirs
in Shelby county.
Their ad appears again in this
issue of another magnificent old
bluegrass homestead consisting of
1919 acres of as good land as there
is in Shelby county. 1t is said to
be the only home in the county that
has been offered for sale that has
natural gas connections which is
supplied by a pipe line which runs
through the place. If you want a
place where you can live at home
go look this one over.
The Company is also selling the
old historic Beckham farm, one of
the finest places in Kentucky.
The Company holding this sale
is well known all over the State,
having held sales in a great many
Of the counties in Central Kentucky
and it is always known that when
ever they put up anything to sell,
they sell it without reserve or by
bid and regardless of price. They
are excellent gentlemen and thor
oughly reliable.

WORLDS SWEET TOOTH.

Fifty years ago the candy Of the
country was almost invariably hard
and coarse, and much of it unwhole-
some. Now the making of it has
become fine art, and the wizard of
concoction and flavoring has for
tune at his command. Pure candy
in moderate quantities is no longer
regarded as a menace to the healthy
stomach. 1t has been sent to the
American soldiers at Manila, and to
British soldiers in the Transvaal,
while we have a recent unconfrmed
tradition that the lure of the gum
drop will enlist an Eskimo in almost
any service. AS candy takes its
place among the articles that go to
make up high living, we may assume
that its consumption, even per cap.

The French marriage laws, which
have Just been modified in order to

on furlough, were probably the most
complicated of any in existence.
Shortly before the outbreak Of was
a man wrote to a Paris paper COM
planning that he had been three

At that period if a prospective
bridegroom had not lived at his
present address for more than six
months he had to obtain certificate
signed by the owner and the con-
cierge at every house where he had
lived previously until he got back
to house where he did live the nee

Gates were required, and the writ

the event of their death, of the "coD-

bearing a date two months old was

MADE FROZEN FISH POPULAR
Eastern Dealer Revealed Possibilities
by Dinner He Gave to Women
of Massachusetts Town.

Practicing economy in food buy
ing, to those who have the desire, is
largely a question of keeping their
eyes open to changes in supply and
new methods Of keeping and cook
ing.
There is an unwarranted prciu-
dice against frozen fish, but, accord
ing to a prominent dealer, who has
made a study Of kitchen psychology
as well as Of the fish business, this
old idea that freezing spoils the
meat gives way before actual dem
onstration. He gave a fish dinner
to several hundred women in a Mas
sachusetts town, using a little-known
variety that must be frozen 10 be
marketed successfully. Most of the
women who attended said it was
hard for them to believe that frozen
fish could be so delicious. Now they
are regular buyers of this class of
fsh-in fact, the consumption Of
this one variety doubled in New
England as a result of telling the
housewife what she had been miss
ing in good food and in opportunity
for saving.
1t is estimated that Cape Cod pro.
duces annually about 100000
pounds of this variety-the whiting
the flesh of which is so tender
that it must be frozen in order tC
stand up in shipment and on the
market. Massachusetts, has beer
using only about 100000 pounds a
year, but men in the fishing indus,
try now estimate that the sales THU
coming year will reach 100000
pounds. The consumer has learned
about the price and the flavor. Many
people 60 to the beach in the Late
fall and pick the frost-hemmed fish

TOUCHED A WoMANs HEART
Sleeping Soldier Stirred Mother In
stinot in cray-Haired Lady Who
Watched Him IN Subway

Strange things happen even in the
prosaic depths Of the subway. Once
in a while the curtain Of convention
draws away and for an instant one
looks deep into life itself before the
jealous curtain falls again, says the
New York Tribune.
He was a private of artillery. His
boyish face held lines of WEAKNESS,
and as he slumped down into a cor
ner seat Of the car his red-corded hat
fell off, revealing that his hair was
yellow and curly. He did not stoop
to recover his hat but fell asleep al
most as soon as he hit the seat.
Few noticed the gray-haired wom-
an who sat opposite, watching him.
She was gaunt and shabby. One
wondered what she was doing abroad
at that early morning hour. She
never took her eyes off the sleeping
lad. Presently she arose to leave as
the train jolted into a station.
As she passed the boy she bent,
lifted the battered campaign hat,
laid it on his lap and then kissed
him softly on his tumbled yellow
hair. He did not stir and she al
most ran from the car. The curtain
that had lifted for a brief moment
fell again, and at least one sat watch
ing the sprawled figure of the SOL
der, wondering.

Developments at Washington again
emphasize the fact that we have two
rival governments In this country, one
headed by Woodrow Wilson. President
Of the United States, and one headed
by Superintendent Baker of the Anti
Saloon League of America.
THE President of the United States,
actuated by reasons of principle and
policy, opposes the injection of prohi-
bition clauses into the nations war
measures, and in this he is Joined by
Food Administrator Hoover. The
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League of America. seconded by his
great lobbyist, Mr.. Dinwlddie, insists
upon blocking war measures with
prohibition clauses and is thereby
jeopardizing Americas success in the
winning Of the war.
80 far the Baker government has
been able to force one Of its prohibi-
tion riders through the House, but in
view of outspoken opposition from
the President and from the Food ad-
ministrator. the fate of the prohibi-
tion clause in the Senate remains to
be seen.
