undertake to respect and preserve
against external aggression the terri

THE Greatest Thing In Life''

What is the greatest thing in life?
The title which may appeal as unusu-
ally comprehensive, is suggested by
the theme of the play. The greatest
thing is somewhat different to nearly
every person; but Mr.. Griffith has Sc
iected what he believes to be the
greatest thing in the -,:=jority of peo-
pie, as the foundation for a drama
II facfnating variety and arresting
strength. Mr.. Griffith dips again in
to the ferment of the western Front
for the climax of his story. Ameri-
cans are in the majority among the
characters. The romance of the girl
is touched with charm Of interna-
tionalism. but the pursuing action is
staurcFfIy typical of America.
The story deals. with a young
American who is the social harvest
of pampering circumstances with
blithe and merry maiden who is en-
teltained with dreams; and with a
sturdy young Frenchman, green
grocer, loyal to his gaTiic-fed palate
until love complicates his menu with
many other things.
The story moves alertly from the
moment the characters are introduced
their foib1es outlined with mirthful
effect. 1t presents a penetrating study
of humanity, but all analysis is i'm
|mersed in the pleasant excitement
that presides as one scene rises to
another in fascinating complication.

TRADE FAMOUS FARM
FOR OIL ROYALTY

Rich Oil Properties in Lee

George w. Owens and Clayton
Strobe, oil men of Winchester, have
traded the old home of Kentucky's
first Governor, Isaac Shelby, in Lin
coin county, for what is regarded by
oil men as one of, if not the richest
oil royalty in the far famed Big Sink

from Mr.. Shelby Tevis, of Lincoln
They have now "swappef' the farm of
S75 acres and about $4,000 in cash
for 3-64 royalty in the $40 acres of
the D. B. Pendergrass lands in Lee
county and a 1872 royalty in the Glenn
Williams lease, also on Big Sinking.
Est 9se holdings are said to represent
!, b, entire royalty owned by Mr.. Pen
dergrass ,as he had previously sold off
large fractions of his immensely rich
holdings. 1t has been reI that
he has been paid as high as $1,000 g
day on his oil royalty interests. They
have increased in value as a rapid
rate within the past several months.
A prominent physician of Frankfort,
who is an old Madison county boy, DIR.
Carlos A. Fish is reported to have re-
fused 100000 for a 1-64 royalty in

him only about $4,000 or $4,000 lit

REAL SOUTHERN MELODIES

It is seldom that one hears a correct
rendering of the real Southern Negro
Music, and never except by the ne
groes themselves. The fact is white
people cannot reproduce it, neither
mechanically nor emotionally. The
peculiar intonation-a weird semi-mi-
nor quality can only be produced by
the realnegro voice.
Another thing that makes it impos-
Eible for white singers to perform the
original negro music as they them
selves perform it is that it cannot be
|orTectly written in our present sys-
! EN- Of music notation. We have no
Iigns or1.usic synabols that viii rep
resent the bi-chromatic and portu-
|nento of the original negro music.
In the Fisk Jubilee Singers, which
appear at the Normal chapel on We'd
|esday, we shall have an opportunity
! o hear the real negro music as 1t
&hould be sung. It may not be gener-
| tlly known that this music has at
racted worldwide attention, being
he only really new in music that
america has ever given to the world.
10 matter how great may have been,
Ind are, some of our native composers
|ll have written according to the Ital-
an, French or German schools, and
pnsequently have given the world
ycthing new. S. S. MYERS.

there is another factor, modern one
IN the probleum of prices on the Rich
mond-Lexington pike. That is the es-
tablished position of the automobile
as farm necessity. The road was a
good generation ago, but it was 2G
miles OF so from Richmond to Lex
ington, too great distance to drive
and the train service was not OF the
best. Nowadays a cigar lighted in
Richmond lasts the drive to Lexing-
ton. The isolation which formerly
made life just trifle arcadian in
Madison county is forever gone. It
in the problem of prices on the Rich
and prices of farm lands are affected
by that fact as wen as by the better
prices for farm products, which have
affected Land values generally.
Without motor roads these counties
would not~be upon the map of the
rurai vaiues, and here is lesson for
many Kentucky counties which suffer
far more nowadays from their bad
roads than they eyer suffered before
automobiles became a part of rural
life. Central Kentucky has had good
roads for a century. An advantage

Some persons, no doubt, will Won
der why land is worth more than $500
an acre upon the Lexington turnpike
three miles from Richmond. A Rich
monder might reply after the manner
of the Californian, who explained the
population of San Diego by saying
that many persons never have been in
San Diego and therefore there are
many who do not know that San
Diego is the most desirable place of
residence upon the face of the earth.

Eph Woods Home Burns
To Ground In Lincoln

Friends and relatives here regretted
to learn of the destruction by fire
Monday afternoon of the handsome
home of Col. and Mrs. E. P. Woods,
about three miles west of Stanford.
The Interior Journal says that Miss
Susan Fisher Woods, who frequently
visits her cousin, Mrs. C. F. Chenault
here, was burning some trash in the
yard and noticed "the roof of the back
portion of the house afre. Mr.. Woods
was able to get to it and extinguish
the flames before damage to speak of
was done. Later another portion of
the roof, that on the two-story sec
ton, was found to be ablaze. Mr..
Woods could not get to it and when
assistance arrived it was too late to
do anything except cave what. furni-
-ture that could be gotten cut. Fortu-
nately for the family, Mr.. w. T.
Brooks, who is working gang of men
on the railroad not far from the home,
brought his full force and they were
instrumental in saving a goodly por-
tion of the household effects. The loss
falls heavily on Mr. Woods, who had
only about $4,000 to $500 insurance.
His fine old home was worth at least
$4,000 and to rebuild it now would cost
at least two or three times the amount
of his insurance, to say nothing of the
loss of the contents and the damage
to the things that were hurriedly
moved.
