high. Give the cows all the protection
possible from flies.

Cabinet Takes Over Rule of Ma
ton Pending Recovery of
the President.
HIS ALMENT NOT REVEALED
poines Of the Industrial Conference
Of Nations Comes Into Being
Anti Bolshevist Armies Closing
In on Soviet Russia.
BY EDWARD W. PIcKARp.


Because of the certainty that the
resumption of his official duties by
President Wilson will be long delayed,
the cabinet has taken matters into its
W hands and is virtually running
the government. For the first time
since Mr.. Wilson became the chief
magistrate, it is performing the func-
tons allotted 1t by the Constitution.
Each member of the cabinet is handling
all executive matters within its juris-
diction, N all other questions that
come up are passed on by the full cab
met. The most important decisions
are submitted to Mr.. Wilson for his
approval, through Admiral Grayson.
Specifically, the industrial and eco
nomic situation which has been
brought to a crisis by the steel strike
is being handled by Secretary Baker.
Secretary of Labor Wilson Is looking
after the threatened coal miners
strike, and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston is doing what he can to avert
the sugar famine.
The presidents physicians and ev-
erybody at the White House have COM
bined to keep from the public the real
character of his illness. Admiral Gray
son told the cabinet what 1t is, but
pledged 1t to secrecy. All the people
are permitted to know is contained
In the official bulletins, which report
Mr.. Wilson'S continued Improvement,
with occasional slight set-backs such
as headache, and restlessness due to
swelling of the prostate gland. The
story that he had a lesion of the brain
has been vigorously though unofficially
denied, but 1t Is admitted that his
complete recovery is contingent on
keeping him absolutely at rest in mind
and body. The truth appears to be
that he has had no cerebral attack but
is suffering from a general nervous
and physical breakdown.
Apparently irreconcilable differences
between the several groups are crop
ping u in the industrial conference,
as might have been expected. In the
first place, Mr.. Gompers, as head of
the labor group insisted that the con-
ference should arrange for arbitration
of the steel strike, His resolution
was doomed to defeat, and the vote
was deferred by order of the confer
ence until the steering committee
should bring in its report on collective
bargaining. This also was n matter
on which agreement seemed almost
impossible, for labor insists on the
right of workers to Unrgain through
the unions and to pick its representa-
tiyes from outside the plant or indus

One of the big jobs of the League
of Nations will be to settle affairs In
the Baltic states. Though General Won
der Goltz submitted to his government
and resigned, a large part of his army
remained in Courland and, with a
force Of Russians, has been making
a determined attack on Riga. The
Let's rallied to the defense of the city
and were aided, according TO report.
by a British fleet. The most recent
dispatches at this writing say the Rus
so-German forces were being slowly
forced back. The Poles took part In
the scrap, attacking the Germans In the
rear, capturing Kovno and threaten
ing the German lines of communication.
At the same time the nnti-bolshevik
armies in Russia were steadily crush

Citizens, Answers the Final
Summons.

Gen. Bennett II. Young, soldier
attorney, author, and former Com
manderlin- Chief of the United Con-
federate Veterans, is dead. Death
came Sunday afternoon at 3:05
o'clock at his home at Louisville
Few Of his friends knew that he
was seriously i'll. Two weeks ago
he went to Florida in the hope of
improving his health. His death
was due to age. "Take me back to
Kentucky. The end is near. It's
only matter Of days. i want to die
back in the old Bluegrass State. ]
want to cross the river and bivouac
there with my gallant comrades who
have gone before" This was AIS
last command from his sick bed in
Florida. Gen. Young was in his
seventy sixth year, and native
Kentuckian. One of the last sur
vivors of a memorable and heroic
generation, Gen. Young was long a
conspicuous figure in the business
life of Louisville and the courts of
the State and Jefferson county. He
was an eloquent pleader before the
bar, and, twenty years ago, the an
ouncement that Gen. Young was to
argue, could fill court room always.
He was known and loved by many of
IF people who will learn with sor-
row of his death.

BACK FROM FRANCE

Mr.. Tom Robinson, who has beer
in France for some time with I'm
Gle Sans Army, is at home for @
few days visit to his parents. Mr.
Robinson says they made record
run, coming from a port in France
to Camp Taylor at Louisville in ex-
actly 20 days time. He says France
is a pretty country but that he
wouldn't give one little spot of Am
erica for the entire European ma
ton. He saw but little active SER
vice, possibly ten days fighting, and
is loud in his praise of the grit,
gameness and ability of the Ameri-
can officers. He expects to be mus
tered out of service within a short
time.

and upon their return will go to
housekeeping in this city. The we'd
ding of this popular couple is of un-
usual interest owing to the promi-
hence of the two families and the
popularity Of the two contracting

this county, and is young lady pos.
sessed with refined and cultured
manners which has endeared her to

choice an ideal husband. 1t is the
sincere wish of the Advocate that

may be one continuous day of hap
piness and that their lives may be
blended together to produce all that's
worth while in life.

Dear little hands, we miss them so,
AL. through the day, wherever we go,
All through the night how lonely it

With no little hands to wake us out
of our dreams.
We miss them all through the weary
hours,
We miss them as others do the sun
shine and flowers;
Daytime or night time wherever we
go,
Dear little hands, we miss them so.
Darling Robert, he has left us, Left
us, yes, for ever more.
But we hope to meet Baby Robert
On the bright and sunny shore.

Monday.

When God in His infinite wisdom
took from those that loved her the
life Of Mrs. Mamie Wilson Prewitt
Monday, He took that which was
mortal to clothe it in immortality, in
the home not made with hands, eter-
nal in the heavens. A woman of
lovely Christian character, the
sweetness Of her disposition, her
trust in the Master and her love and
solicitude for her dear ones made
everyone that came in contact with
her, love her and the remembrance
of her kindness, love and charity
should be an Inheritance of which
her children should be proud. De-
ceased had been dangerously i'll for
some time and little hope for her re-
9overy had been entertained for
several days. Mrs. Prewltt was II
years Of age and had lived practi-
+ cally all her life where she died. She
is survived by her husband, Mr..
Clifton Prewitt, Sr., and six child
rem, Mrs. w. Lois Thompson, DR..
James, Dan j., and Allen Prewitt,
of this county, and DIR. John Prev
lit, Of Covington, and Caswell Prev

wide circle Of relatives in Central
Kentucky.
Funeral services were conducted
this afternoon at the grave in Mach
pelah by Rev. Clyde Darsie, of the

a member, assisted by Rev. B. w.
Trimble.
To the grief stricken family The
Advocate tenders sincere sympathy
in their hour of sorrow.

MARKET WILL
SOON BE OVER
Sales at the Loose Leaf Houses VIII
Be Held as Long as Any Tobacco
Is Left.

While practically all of the to-
bacco in this section has been sold
the houses will remain open and will
conduct sales as long as any re-
mains unsold and those who have
any tobacco in their barns should
make special efforts to get same to
the warehouses as quickly as posi-
BILE. While the competition for the
tobacco in this section has been es-
pecially keen this year and thous-
ands of pounds have been sent to
Lexington, Paris and Carlisle, still
the showing made by our three
houses is very satisfactory and we
understand an advertising campaign
will be started in time next year by
the local houses to convince the
grower of the wisdom of selling over
the floors in this city. Below will be
found the amount sold and the aver
ages obtain by the three houses up
to date:

BOY INJURED

Master Tom Hoffman was struck
by an automobile last Saturday
while riding a horse near the fair
grounds. The boy was knocked I'M
conscious and large place cut in
his leg near the knee. After knock
ing the boy from the horse, the
driver of the machine did not stop
but ran away leaving him lying in
the street While not attempting to
place the blame for the accident, it
was a cowardly and inhuman act to
run away and leave the boy. He will
be in bed for a couple of weeks, and
it will be several weeks before he
can use his leg.

BEAUTIFUL RECITAL

On Saturday evening, February %
at the residence Of Mrs. Charles II
Petrey, beautiful violin recital was
given by Miss Martha Coleman, a
pupil of Miss Giltner, Of Lexington
formerly a pupil of Prof. Reynolds
The program was attractive and
varied, representing chiefly modern
composers. Miss Coleman's playing
is characterized by great beauty OF
tone, which was especially note
worthy in such numbers as "The
Swan" by st. Saens, and "The
Reverie," by Debussy; also in the
well known Souvenir by Drdla, while
the brilliancy other technique was
evidenced especially in her closing
number, the Hungarian Dance" by
Haesche.
Miss Giltner is an accomplished
pianist as well as teacher Of violin,
having studied with the best masters
Of this country, and also abroad.
The beautiful and spacious home
Of Mrs. Petrey was admirably
adapted to such an occasion. The
audience was large and appreciative,
and both unsteady and socially the
recital was brilliant success. Miss
Giltner has a very large and and in
teresting class in this city.
Mrs. ]. W. Burbridge, the we'll
known soprano, who was to have
participated in the program, was
unable to be present owing to the
illness Of her husband.

GIVE DISABLED SOLDIERS "TRY
 OUT' COURSES

Washington, July 22.-The Feder- al Board for Vocational Education has found the receiving stations at which men are given ''try-out'' courses very satisfactory. Men with severe disabilities, necessitating a. complete change of work, or men whose knowledge is very limited and who before enlistment had no recog- nized trade, or others whose age, tenn perament, or habits are such as to require special training all constitute types for whom the receiving stations are used in order to determine the nose suitable courses for their train ing.
 There are at present over a thous- and men in receiving stations talk ing "try-out' courses. The men are in earnest and are really trying to select vacations for which they are fitted.
 One young fellow cheerfully gave up his desire to become a business man, upon finding bookkeeping, sales naanship and allied subjects distaste full to him. He promises to be a sue cess a telegrapher. Another whose experience and disability clearly un- fitted hirn for his selected vocation of forestry, has decided after a try out course that show card writing and window trimming is the work he wants A fair trial of the courses gen. erally convinces the disabled men of the suitability or unsuitability of the chosen trade.

MILLINERY SHOWS
 TREND OF FALL

Millinery shows most decidedly the trend of fall and although the hot weather continues with much humid ity 1t does not deter the shops from displaying black and red velvet hats with sheer lace. or Georgette hats, the former small and somewhat suggest ing sports hats rather than dress wear.
 The shops feature more fall hats than summer, although the figures frocked in sheer fabrics wear sum mer hats. The brims are rolled and If tho hat Is large it is a wide side roll sweep which is something differ ent than we have seen- One model has the crown and brim of black panne velvet with the facing and sash trim of Etruscan brown duve- tyn. All velvet brims have crowns of black satin; a. small hat with the brim tupned up and composed of two rolls of black velvet buttoned trimmed has the crown and inside facing of cardinal A nut duvetyn is rolled up in a soft line so that the effect Is a cup and saucer. The duvetyn is buttoned down in a flap arrangement to give a. most tailored effect. This hat is also shown in a grass green.
