bought by the state and that no land
owners should be allowed to hold more
than about 625 acres.

EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR
TRANSATLANTIC AERIAL FLIGHT

quiet but extensive preparations are un-
der way among av1ators to secure the prize
in being first to make the aerial flight across
the Atlantic.
In the Chicago Herald and Examiner
of March "a, snapshot appeared of the
great British dirigib1e, the giant R-33
which is being tuned up at Se1by, England,
for flight from that point to America.
This monster leviathan of the sky is de-
scribed by Robert Wells Richie, who was
privileged to occupy seat in the control
gondola of the airship during one of its
trial trips, as being go feet in length. He
says that if it were to settle down on Michi-
gan Avenue it would extend more than a
block.

capable of developing ESQ horse power,
drive the huge craft at maximum speed
of seventy miles an hour. He says that
one has no sensation of speed in these great
vessels; that the movement is remarkably
steady, and but for diminishing size of OBJ
jects on the ground passing slowly thou
| sand feet below, one is scarcely conscious
of motion. Viewed from the outside, the
airplane looks vast, but in the keel corridor
| it appears even more colossal
However, these great dirigibles may not
capture the prize. The London Daily Mail,
the other day, announced that a secretly
built 375 horse power plane, with a pilot
and navigator, had been shipped to ST.
Johns, Newfoundland, to start from there
in few days on trip across the Atlantic.
At the same time, Washington reports
state that American aviation experts of the
navy department are working under rush
orders on three great seaplanes which are
being tuned up at the United States naval
air station at Rockaway Point, New York,
in readiness for fight>across the Atlantic.
The top wings of these great biplanes
have spread Of 12o feet, inches. The
three propellers are driven by three Liberty
motors of 400 horse power each, and a
fourth motor may be added, bringing the
horse power up to 1000.
1t is expected that the flight will be at
temped in the near future, probably not
| later than May L.

WINS DERBY

Sir Barton won the Kentucky
Derby at Louisville Saturday, Billy
Kelly was second and Under Fire
third. The race was run over a
sloppy track. Both Sir Barton and
Billy Kelly belonged to Com. j. X.
L. Ross and this is the first time in
the history of the turf that the same
entry ran one, two. This was the
first race Sir Barton ever won, but
he demonstrated he was a great
horse and led the field the entire dis
tance. Eternal, the favorite, ran a
disappointing race and quit badly.
It is estimated over $4,000 witnessed
the event. Mt. Sterling was well
represented and many winning tickets
were held by local people.

IMPORTANT MEETING

We wish to call our readers at
tention and especially those living
within the city limits of Mt. Sterling,
to the notice of the Mayor regarding
the public meeting to be held at the
City Court Room, Thursday night,
May 18th.
Citizens in all parts of the city
have been having trouble with the
sewer system, in many cases waste
water backing up into the sinks.
The cause of this, is the roots of
trees growing into the sewers, spread
ing and finally stopping the outlet,
q'most completely. There seems but
me remedy and that is to cut down
beautiful trees which have shaded
streets for many years.
This is an extremely important
matter and one in which every prop
erty owner is directly interested.

TO PROTECT HOUSEWIVES

Read the new law published in
this paper regarding the selling Of
eggs that have not been candled.
The law makes it a misdemeanor on
the merchant selling the eggs not to
.andle them when he buys them, no
matter from who they are purchased.
This is good law and will result
in the saving Of quite. an amount Of
money to the merchants as well as
the consumers.
The poultry men in this city have
been Gambling eggs for a long time
but few mechants have, and the law
now requires this to be done.
