Forcing Plants by Light.

To force the growth of plants by
the use Of artificial light is not a new
idea. but the system hitherto has been
too expensive In proportion to obtain
able results.
Recently man engaged in horticul-
ture discovered an efficacious method
of applying light for this purpose. Ar
ranging In winter quarters his plants
as he wished them to grow, he sup
plies lamp with mercury vapor for
fuel and the seeds terminate In less
than half the ordinary time. while the
vigor and intensity of the color of the
flowers is superior to that of the prod
uct grown naturally.
Another curious phenomenon no
ticed In connection with this action Of
light is an infinite multiplication Of
the downy substance commonly found
on stems. Those grown In shadow
have the stems relatively bare. Very
good practical results have been OBJ
tanned by this system.

IN OHIO RIVER
Sunday Morning While Water
ing His Horse. 20 Year Old

Albert Gipson, 20 year old son of
Mr. and. Mrs. Harrison GIBSON, of
this place, was drowned in the Ohio
River near Carter's landing on Sun
day morning at $50 o'clock
The young man, who lived with his
parents near the place where he was
drowned, had taken his horse to the
river for water. There were two small
boys on the river bank who witnessed
the drowning and according to their
story they said Gipson's horse be-
came. unruly and kept going further
out into the water. GIBSON became
frightened and jumped from the horse
but he could not swim and the boys
were too small to be of any assist
ance. His body was found that after
noon at o'clock by Mr.. Carl Over
ton, in about 25 feet from where he
was drowned
The funeral was held Monday
morning at 10 o'clock at the grave in

"HOARDED" BEEF.

"A million pounds of meat" big
headlines announced one day last
month in the Minneapolis dailies, had
been found "hoarded" in the ware
house of packing company at South
St. Paul Think of tia million pounds !
1t is a lot of meat and the daily put
an enormous heading on it.
However, they might just as well
have made their heading Terrible
Shortage" and compared that million
pounds of meat to the 100000 people
in the Twin Cities, and the 100000
in the state of Minnesota. The million
pounds were less than half pound
for each of the inhabitants of the
state; and much of the meat eaten by
people in Minnesota, as we'll as in
some surrounding states, comes from
the coolers at South St. Paul.
A million pounds would be big
bite for one man, but for two million
people it is not such an enormous
amount.
This incident reminds one of the
story of the Virginia tobacco grower
who bought some leaf to add to the
product of his own plantation, char
tered ship and took il to New York.
When his little vessel was tied up at
the wharf alongside multitude, of
others loaded with the same product,
he rushed to his commission firm and
said, "For heavens sake gentlemen,
sell that tobaccer of mine for any
thing you can get. There's tobaccer
enough at the wharf to keep the whole
world supplied for the next ten years. I"
Then he went out for little walk
on one of the New York streets, and
shortly he came tearing back with the
order, Hold that tobaccer of mine,
gentlemen. The price is bound to go
up. There's men enough on the street
now between here and Broadway to
ehaw up all the tobaccer in the world
in less than a week"
There is lot of meat "hoarded" at
South ST Paul Also there are people
enough right close to "chaw it up" in
about half day.

McQuady VS. Lewisport.

The McQuady ball team under the
management of ]. r. Jolly, went to
Lewisport, to cross bats with the
Lewisport team which had not lost a
game on their home diamond this
season until this time, and when they
began to buck up against the Nc
Quady farm boys they soon found
that they had something to do and
that they were not in class to win the
game. Scott Brown, of Irvington,
their first man to put in the bat was
completely knocked out on the third
inning. Then came Gabbert, who
proved to be very small stumbling
block for the McQuady boys. B.
Owens did fancy pitching for the
farm boys from thebeginning to end
and his twisters and speed proved to
be too much for Lewisport.
The line up on each side were as
follows:

BI-COUNTY FAIR
Big SUCCESS
Several Thousand Visitors At
tend. Parades Big Feature
Of Entertainment.

The visitors to the bi-county fair
held in Irvington, Friday and Satur-
day of last week, numbered into the
thousands, and they were people who
came from every section of Meade
and Breckenridge counties 1t was
indeed great coming together of the
citizens Of these adjoining counties,
and the managers of the fair felt fully
recompensed for their time and efforts
in making this the biggest and best
fair ever held in Irvington.
The fair grounds we're on Mr..
Alters place near the city limits. All
of the exhibits of the farm products,
were under cover of a large tent.
The baby show was held there, and
the s1st Military band made it their
headquarters, consequently this was
one of the most popular places on
the grounds.
The cattle shows and riding con-
tests were held in the open air arena
and they greatly interested the stock
breeders and farmers.
On Friday, the school children and
ex-soldiers formed parade and
marched through the streets of Irv-
ington. There was also a demons
tration of the rs M. M. guns and tar
get shooting on this day too, and blue
ribbons awarded to the cattle, hogs
and poultry shows. In fact, there
was nothing left out that was adver-
tised for that day.
Saturday was a big day too. 1t
was estimated that there were four
or FIVE thousand people on the
grounds the second day and about
four hundred automobiles.
Practically all of those who parti-
4cipated in Fridays parade were in
Saturdays parade too. Decorated
floats and cars formed in line with
the others and made a fine showing
for the representatives of the two
counties.
A complete list of the prize winners
at the fair will be published in next
weeks issue of The Breckenridge
News as the list was not completed
in time for this week.

Not Playing The Game.

1t was last Friday that Mr. William
Bullitt upset the beanpot before the
Foreign Relations Committee The
echoes are still reverberating through
the press of two continents. London,
Paris, Washington and New York are
commenting and wondering.
1t will be remembered that the
American Peace Commission sent Mr..
Bullitt last February to report on con-
ditions in Soviet Russia. His report
was never made public 1t now APP
pears that it was largely favorable to
the Moscow Government. Questioned
about it in Parliament at the time,
Premier Lloyd George virtually de-
MED all knowledge of the report and
of Mr.. Bullitt himself.
Mr. Bullitt's version is that he made
a complete report to Premier LLOYD
George over a Paris breakfast table
one morning shortly before the afore-
said Parliamentary questioning He
also declares that Sec Lansing re-
marked to him as late as May IL that
if the Senate and the American peo-
pie could understand what the treaty
and the league meant they would re-
ject them.
So far Sec Lansing has refused to
comment Premier Lloyd George has
made denial which satifies neither
the Liberal press of England nor the
reactionarieS. The reactionary Lon
don Post blames Mr. Bullitt for tell
ing: 1T is against the first laws of
the game"
What gamer" The Westminster
Gazette explains. "Mr. Bullitt was un-
aware" it says, "of one of the best
established rules of the Old World
in regard to a semiofficial efliissary.
That is, he goes at his own risk. If
he succeeds, his official patrons will
take the credit. If he fails, they Cast
him off" The Gazette then goes on
to say: "All the same,fTfoyd George
will have to take this incident serious
ly, for unsophistcated people do not
understand these things" 800
Fortunately, "unsophisticatedl peo-
pie" are coming to understand these
things only too we'll. The FIRST laws
of the game" as suggested by the
London Post, appear to be that there
are two varieties of truth: true truth
which is for official consumption only;
and another variety which is fed out
to pacify "unsCphisticated people"
We are getting tolerably familiar with
that game. The war resulted from il.
Cody to ignore Mr.. Bullitt's dis
closures Questionable as may have
been the ethics of his making them)
is not going to dispose of the ques-
tons which have been raised by them.
The people who suffered and sacri-
feed in the war have right to have
them answered and answered ex.-
plicitly.
