The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-09-09

The chief social event Of the weeh
was the reception given by Doctor
and Mrs. M. v. p. Yeaman on Friday
evening to the members Of the Pres
byterian church. For churches to
| give receptions TO pastors and their
wives is usual enough. but Doctor
and Mrs. Yeaman reversed the order
and entertained the entire congrega-
ton at one Of the handsomest affairs
given here for some time. The beau
tiful auditorium Of the church, ss
well as the church parlors and halls,
we're tastefully decorated with palms
and flowers, and delightful refresh
ments were served. Beautiful violin
selections were given during the
evening by Professor Georges Wig
nett, of Lexington, and some exqui-
site numbers on the pipe organ were
given BY Mrs. Georges E. Coleman
and Mrs. John s. Frazer, all Of
which added greatly to the pleasure
of the,unique occasion. The recep-
lion was given in recognition Of the
fifth anniversary of the coming of
the host and hostess to Mt. Ster-
ling. At the close Of the evening
the officers Of the church handed
DR., Yeaman an envelope, telling him
that he could read within at his
leisure their opinion OF SO ssnons 4

BIondin's Feat Recalled.

In the whirligig of momentous
world events il is not strange that
there should pass almost unnoticed a
few days ago the fifty-eighth ami
versary of Blondin's exploit of cross
ing Niagara gorge on a four-inch
tight rope. a feat hat still stands as
the acme of daring and nerve. One
of the thourands of spectators that
lined the river bank was the prince
of Wales, late King Edward. This was
the first time anyone had crossed Nj
agara gorge on a rope. Blondin car
ried a man on his shoulders on one
trip. wheeled a wheelbarrow Over on a
second trip. and on a third trip car
ried a stove on his balancing rod and
fixing II on the rope, cooked cakes and
threw them TO people in small boats
below on the river. Blondin was after
ward killed In Paris.
He made a test in 1859, and in the
Following year successfully car
ried out his feat. October 10, 1860.

WHAT OUR DEFENDERS COST
Al Home II Is 1927 and Overseas $423
Year for Each Man In the
Service.

Statistics have been collected by the
clothing and equipage, subsistence,
conservation, reclamation and hard
ware and metals division of the quar-
termasters' corps, United States army.
to Indicate just what il costs a year to
maintain a soldier overseas and in the
United States.
These, according to the Army and
Navy Journal. show that the cost is
S423.41 a year to equip and maintain q
soldier overseas and S327.7S To equip
and maintain n in the United States.
Subsistence, figured at 60 cents a day.
amounts To $251.S5 yearly for each
man overseas; figured at 81 cents a
day In the United States, il amounts
to S1S9.S0. The cost of the initial
equipment for the soldier the first year
in the United States is S115.30, while
the cost Of his additional equipment
for the first year overseas is $42.41.
Thus II appears that If the soldier
going overseas did not take with him
a great deal of his equipment already
supplied in the United States the con
trast between the cost of equipping
and maintaining a soldier In this coun-
try and abroad would be much more
marked. Not only is the amount Of
equipment needed abroad greater than
that needed in this country, but the
statistics of the conservation and re-
clamation division show that equip
ment and clothing overseas are subject
to much harder use, wear out more
quickly and are less effectively re-
claimed than similar material, cloth
Ing and equipment used In the United
States. The amount of reclamation of
each individual soldiers equipment in
this country is $3.50 a year, while the
amount of reclamation of similar ma
terial abroad is but 1881.

DESTINATIONS Words.

Why cannot scientific persons who
undertake to be informing to the pub
lie learn to display their learning less
ostentatiously and to convey their
meaning more intelligibly? One health
authority tells us profoundly that IAN
orexia' also is present with Spanish
influenza. We take this. from the die
tionary, to mean loss of appetite,
which really would not be a bad thing
these days; but unless 1t is assumed
that nobody but medical men are TO
have the disease, it might be well to
give the miscellaneous lay public a
chance to know what may all it.

in the habit of catching crawfish
from the Humboldt river for pastime
and destroying them, l desire to call
attention to the fact that these craw-

food purposes, and should be caught
only for eating. and should not be
destroyed for no purpose. When
caught if they are not wanted for
eating they should be put back in the
