it has been decided to take a number
of average farms, say 100 and have
the owners keep careful record on
their crop and from these records
arrive at the average cost of pro-
duction in this county.
A number of South Christian far
mers have done this in the past and
it has been found that it takes 25 to
30 daps per man per acre to put the
crop on the market. Besides this it
calls from 10 to II days for man
and horse. This must be added to
the cost of materials used
The same experiment will be tried
in Fayette county in the Burley dis
trict.
Mr.. HutsOn can be found during
the usual Office hours in his office at
the H. B. M. A.
The coming of Mr.. Hutson to our
county instead of going to some 9TH
er county in West Kentucky is due
mainly to the efforts to Mr.. Gordon
Nelson in pushing the claims of our
county as the one best entitled to
the honor.
Mr.. Hutson is a young man of
fine character and well equipped for
the work in hand. He represents the
College of Agriculture at Lexington
and will be stationed here for the
next FIVE months.
He has rooms at Mrs. Green Hem

GERMANS ARE UNWILLING TO
ADMIT GERMANY SOLELY
CULPABLE.
TERMS HANDED TO THE FOE
Full Extent of Punishment Set Forth
In Long List of Con-
illusions.

While the German peace plenipo
tentiaries are digesting the text Of
the lengthy peace treaty handed, then
"Wednesday and communicating witt
the Weimar government as to the de
mands made upon Germany by the
allied and associated powers, the
council of four is engaging itself with
the formulation of peace terms for
Austria and Hungary.
The German-Austrian delegation
is reported already to have started
for st. Germain, France, there to
wait the summons to Versailles to
learn what is to befall the one time
dual monarchy in the way of pay
ment of indemnities, the making of
reparations and the REIMBURSEMENT of
territory.
Estimates have been made in Paris
that 5000, 100000 crowns will be de-
manded as indemnity from Austria
Hungary in addition to the delimita-
ton of frontiers. The pre-war debt
of the former empire and kingdom,
it is said, is to be divided among the
newly formed states which have aris-
en- or are to arise in their old terri
tories.
The frontier between German-Aus-
tria and Italy and probably the Adri-
attic settlement will also figure in
the Austrian treaty.
1t is reported that when the terms
of peace with Turkey are concluded.
the United States is to be requested
to become the mandatory of Armenia,
and that President Wilson will place
the matter before congress in order
that a decision may be arrived at.
The Communist government in
Hungary is declared to have declin-
ed to accept the terms laid down by
Rumania for an armistice an dhas
decided to continue fighting. The
terms of the Rumanians included dis
armament and the surrender of war
materials and also the return of war
prisoners without reciprocity.
Trouble seems to be brewing for
Arhan tribesmen who, aided by At
CHAN regular troops, have violated
the British Indian border by crossing
it and occupying certain positions
on the Indian side. The British are
taking military precautions and have
also addressed strong note of pro-
test to the Amir of Afghanistan.

George Cohan has said he will

Some idea of the bitterness which
the fight has taken on is shown in
the action of Cohan in resigning
from the Friars, where he was alb
bot, and from the Lambs. A COM
mittee from the Friars called on
COhan last night and asked him to
reconsider, but he said:
You are too late l am in the
fight to finish and whatever the

At the Columbia.

Following up the initial success
of the opening bill, the manage
ment of the Columbia theatre is
bringing to that house a still bet
ter entertainment for the last half
of the week beginning Thursday.
Headed by the Sharrocks, in BE
hind the Grandstand," the program
will be one of variety. cleverness
and spice all the way through and
the management has shown more
than the ordinary care in the
picking and arranging of acts.
The SharTocks come direct from
the Majestic theatre, Chicago,
where they were the hit of the pro-
gram. Their offering was warmly
received by the metropolitan critics
and audiences and they established
themselves as one of the best acts
on the entire circuit.
The Wyoming trio, another fea-
ture ace on the bill has a special
stage setting and INDUCES in wild
west warbling and rope throwing.
The scene is a glowing sunset on
the ranch and following a day of
customary activity, the men are in
dulging in their evening pastimes.
They can sing as well as manipu-
late the rope and their efforts are
highly entertaining. The entire eff
feet is pretty, novel and thorough
ly enjoyable.
The Helen Leach Wallin trio
brings. several new features to SEN
sationaI wire acts, thereby reliev-
ing the monotSny usually incident
to wire acts. These people are
known as the wire jaw aerialists.
Two of the women hold the wire in
their teeth while the third one per-
forms all kinds of slack wire stunts
winding up with a sensational and
whirlwind performance.

President McRae of the actors
association says:
THE present deadlock in the the
atrical business has been brought
about by the fiat refusal of the pro-
ducing managers association to ac-
cept the Actors Equity association
as the business representative of
the ac.or. The managers prefer to
deal with the actors individually,
well knowing that in the event of
dispute, the individual actor has no
opportunity to obtain fair treat

Katherine Macdonald is the name
of the blue-eyed, fair-haired young
woman who plays the part OF the
woman" in The Woman Thou Cav
est Ne" She has. been highly
praised for her work in that pic
ture, although even her good work
could not save the picture from be-
ing very poor production of a
very good book.
Katherine made her first bow to
the screen in a Douglas Fairbanks
picture. She made good and has
been in pictures ever since. She
was born in Pittsburg and went to
8 Pennsylvania college. Not long
after her graduation Mr. Fairbanks
met her and was struck with her
beauty. He asked her if she would
like to try pictures and she said
she would, and he did. Later she
appeared in Riddle Gawme" and
SHARK Monroe" with Mr.. Hart, and
now comes perhaps her largest
part, that of the lead in The
Woman Thou Gavest Me"
Those who have read the story
will be disappointed in the picture,
for while the story was tense and
gripping and convincing, the pic
ture falls short in every one of
those qualities. The action is so
condensed that it is far from con-
vincing and some of the close-ups
and other unimportant bits are so
long and drawn out that all tense
ness is lost Miss Macdonald,
however, shows that she can act
and her part of the unloyed wife is
not an easy one.
FRITZ Brunette, who plays the
part of a viYacious vampire in the
play, does some very good work,
but she has received many let
tiers from admirers asking her
please not to play vampire roles as
she is too pretty. We think so, too,
for if ever we liked a vampire, it
was Miss FRITZ in The Woman
Thou Gavest Me"

CHARGES BODY
WAS MUTILATED
Allegheny Sheriff Intimates
Wound Was Made After
Official Autopsy

Pittsburgh, Oct. 17.-Sheriff Will
liam S. Haddock, of Allegheny coun-
", yesterday sent to Chairman Ken
yon, of the Senate committee investi-
eating the steel strike, letter in
which he practically charges that
the body of Fannie Sellens, an or
ganizer for the United Mine Work
ers, who was shot and killed August
26 at West Natrona, where there was
strike of miners, had been delib-
reately mutilated after the official
autopsy to make it appear she was
shot in the back.
The death of the woman has at
tracted much attention because of
charges made by labor union men
that she was murdered by deputy
sheriffs. The coroner's verdict de-
clared she was killed during a riot.
The miners charge she was shot to
death while protecting children from
the sheriff's deputies. The body was
eXhumed last Monday at the in
stance of a relative and yesterday
labor men sent to Chairman Kenyon
an affidavit signed by two physicians
averring that there was a gunshot
wound in the back. The coroner's
finding made no mention of such a
wound. Some labor leaders have
referred to the Sellens case as an
example of the alleged methods used
by certain corporations to defeat
workers who strike for higher wages
and better working conditions.

Members of the committee repre-
senting the teachers planned to ap-
pear before the School Board to
give their point of view of the SAL
ary increases which they claim they
should have. They said the School
Board is morally bound to pay the
increases.
Figures Cited
School authorities furnished the
following statistics to show that the
district has been doing all that it
can for the teachers. In 1914 with
11,07S pupils enrolled, teachers re-
ceived $21S,S79. There were 292 in
structors during that year. During
the 1919-1920 season with an esti-
mated student enrolment of $4,000,
there are 373 teachers employed,
less than 100 more than in 1914,
but their salaries will total S41S;S85
for the year, about 100000 more
than in 1914-1915.
