MILK AS FOOD WILL
Be BOOSTED At
HOLSTEIN SHOW
Big HOlsteln Show at Mike Browns
Big Store Next Monday Is Attract
Ing Much Attention.

The people OF our city and county
are showing much interest In the edu-
cational food exhibit to be shown at
Mike Browns store Monday. There
is opportunity of much food for
thought, and we. again urge every one
to see 1t. Milk has long been the one
food whose real food value has been
little understood or really appreciated
by the general public Practically one
sixth Of all the food we eat comes
from milk, and when we realize Its low
cost and high food value we can read
lily see the Importance of using more.
See the exhibit and make a careful
study of 1t. Try having milk and 9TH
er dairy products replace some por-
tions Of meat and other foods at each
meal. Results will prove healthful
and economical.
Milk contains all the essential food
substances necessary Tor the growth
of children, and the well-being of
adults No other single food provides
as much edible material, for a given
amount, as milk. 1t is the one food.
universally used, that is absolutely
necessary in our everyday diet. Milk
is cheapest Of all the animals foods we
buy one quart having a food value
equal to three-quarters of pound of
beef-steak, and costs, in most cases,
less than half. 1t is really economi-
cal for every household to use more
milk and less meat and other more
expensive foods.
Try using milk more freely in the
many delicious and appetizing dishes
which can be made with it. Watch
the effect on your family. They will
he healthier, happier, and will accom-
plish more, both at work and play. The
milk from Holstein-Friesian cows is
particularly good for children.

Thursday night Chief OF Police Har-
ry A. Ort arrested Barlie Sammons, a
member OF the United States Army as
he was stealing a ride on the Nays
vile accommodation. The boy had es-
capped from Jefferson Barracks, Mo-,
where he was stationed and had paid
his way on the train to Cincinnati but
from there he was endeavoring to
beat" his way to his home in Floyd
county, Kentucky.
The boy is quite a youngster and
became homesick and without asking
for furlough, he took leave without
the permission of his officer.
Chief Ort placed the young man in
the county Jail and notified the au-
thorities at Jefferson Barrocks. He
has not yet heard from them but he
will probably get instructions to re-
turn the young man to Fort Thomas
where he will be turned over to army
officers.

MILLION and A
HALF increase ON
MASON ASSESSMENT
Mason County Board Of Equalization
Practically Completes Work
After Making An Increase Of
One and One.half Million
DOllars-Will Be Ac-
cepted by State.

Although they first asked for an in
crease of $4,200,O0O on the assessment
OF Mason county, the State Tax Board
will be satisfied with an increase of
Of $1,5O0,O0O and that's the figure to
which the Mason County Board of
Equalization, which adjourns this af-
ternoon until some day next week, has
brought the county's entire assess
ment. The Mason County Board will
really complete their work this after
noon except making out their final re-
port to the State Board and there will
be a meeting next week when this will
be done. Some few changes may be
made next Monday.
In increasing the county's assess
ment one and half millions Of dol
lars the County Board has been
compelled to increase most every piece
of property in the entire county ap-
proximately 8 per cent. Although the
board has not adopted a system of
making horizontal raise having low
cred some and increased others in
their attempt to equalize, yet they
have ha to use this figure in making
a Just elualizs ton of the county.
The Kentucky State Tax Board at
first requested Mason county to in
crease their assessment $4,2OO,O0O. At
this figure the county "bucked" and
they then dropped to $2,S0O,OOO. On
these figures one Board of Equaliza-
ton resigned and the present board
was just on the verge of resigning
when compromise was reached with
the state board on s1,5O0,OO0 and the
board completing their work this af-
ternoon has reached these figures.

STANLEY GIVES up
GOVERNORS CHAIR
TO take Up TOGA
Governor VIII Surrender Relns to
Lieutenant Governor Black on
May 10 He Announces.

Frankfort, KY, May 9.-Governor A.
o. Stanley will take the oath of Of
fee as United States Senator May 10
when the Federal Congress convenes
in extra session at the call of Presi-
dent Wilson Lieutenant Governor
James D. Black will succeed Governor
Stanley as Chief Executive.
Governor Black was here Thursday
and discussed the matter with Cover
nor Stanley. He made arrangements
to retain Miss Minnie Hahler, secreA
tary to Governor Stanley for a week
or ten days or until such time as his
secretary becomes familiar with the
workings Of the office.
Before retiring as Chief Executive
Governor Stanley said that he would
call an election in the Eight Congress
sional district to fill the vacancy Gre
ated by the death of Congressman
Harvey Helm. He will also settle the
Babey case from Louisville. Babey ie
under death sentence, but it is freely
predicted here that the Governor will
commute the sentence.
Governor Black denied that he had
made any compact with Governor
Stanley whereby he was to appoint
certain persons to the State Tax Com
mission. Before his term of Office ex-
pires he will have to appoint two men,
bers to the commission and it has been
rumored here that he promised Cover
nor Stanley he would reappoint Hen
ry Ringo and appoint Robert l..
Greene, now State Auditor as the third
member of the commission.
At the last session of the General
Assembly the tax laws were amended
by providing that the third member Of
the commission be selected by the
Governor instead of having the State
Auditor serve on the commission. The
duties of the State Auditor are now
so heavy that it is practically impos-
sible for him to devote sufficient time
to the business of the commission.
If the Court of Appeals sustains the
Franklin Circuit Court and knocks
out the State Text Book adoption Gov.
ernor Black will have to sit with the
Text Book Commission at the next
adoption.

AUTOPSY ON CH|lD'S
BODY IS STARTLING
Colored Family ut Ripley Have q Rec.
ord which Caused County Officials
10 Make An Investigation.

The Georgetown, o, News-Demo-
crat has the following news story;
Saturday morning Joseph Williams
an infant child Of ten days, OF Noble
Williams and wife, died at their home
in Ripley. The Williams are colored
people Of long residence there and
through the fact that the parents have
had ten children to die since their
marriage in 1906, under conditions
similar to the death Of the one here
reported, an investigation was de-
manded concerning the death OF their
last child.
With this demand made Of Coroner
Dowdney, Saturday, he ordered Under
taker Kirkpatrick, Of that place. TO
take charge OF the body, remove 1t tc
his place of business and make prep
aration for an autopsy, which was
held Sunday. Prosecutor Bagby, Cor
oner Dowdney, with DR.. R. B. Hannah
went there, and with DR.. A. w. Francis
held this autopsy.
They found the body Of the child
perfectly formed, and after a most
searching investigation gave in their
report that death was due to asphyx-
iation, caused by heavy pressure be-
ing made against the child's stomach
effects Of which were clearly observ-
able upon the body.
The condition of the mother at the
time was such that she could not be
moved to the county jail. and for this
reason 1t was said the investigation
would be carried forward along diff
ferent lines. The investigation caused
much concern among people Of Ripley
and that section.

Single Tax Works
Well at Fairhope
Says the Founder

E. B. CASTOR, one of the three
original founders of Fairhope, Ala,
and editor of the Faihhope Courier,
passing through Omaha on Sunday,
was given private reception by a
number of Omaha single takers.
Fairhope is the first successful at
tempt to organize a colony to be
maintained, so far as the laws of the
state would allow, strictly on the
theory of Henry George.
The three families who started it
Is years ago were poor. Among
them they started with about $500
Today the town has population of
700, and owns about 1000 acres of
land, partly in and partly outside the
corporate limits. The limits of the
town also include some land which
does not belong to the corporation
This affords a concrete ILLUSTRATION
of the efficiency of the single tax
exen though applied within the linn
its of adverse state laws. Within
that part of the CITY owned by the
corporation land is only leased. The
corporation pays all taxes, except
upon moneys and credits. 1t costs
no more to lease a piece of ground
and erect upon it a $4,000 building
than it does to leave it vacant. In
the other part of the town, no one
may put up any improvement with
out first paying some landlord a
premium. That part of the town lags
behind the single tax section. One
landlord owning about four acres
adjoining Fairhope is trying to dis
pose of it, as no one will buy it OF
rent it, since it is much chaper tc
secure the benefits of the town at al
economic saving.
Mr.. CASTOR was recently invited tc
| appear before the Committee OF
Public Lands, having charge of the
bills concerning soldier settlements
He conveyed to the committee the

STOCK MARKET
SUFFERS SLUMP
DUE TO STRIKE
Receipts Of Live Stock $50
Cars Less Than Usual
Monday Run-Many
Sheep Shipped.

South Side live stock men are
watching the railroad situation with
great anxiety. A national strike
would mean almost complete par
alysis of their business. Loss OF
thousands of dollars to stock rails.
er would also result since dry
ranges are reported from many
parts of the stock country.
During the past two weeks cattle
receipts were heavy for this time of
thu year by forced shipping due to
lack of rain. A rail tieup would
mean great shrinkage of cattle on
the ranges.
Unsettled conditions throughout
the country and the probability of a
railroad strike have already been
reflected on the local market. Re-
ceipts Monday took decided
slump. About 625 cars were re-
ceived, $50 less than usual at this
time. Cattle receipts were light,
but the heaviest run of sheep this
season, $4,000 head, were unloadcd
