Says Country Teachers
Deserve Higher Salarie.

Prof. /. II. Boothe has just complet-
ed tour of Eastern Kentucky. He
has been travelling since September as
representative of the Normal School.
He visited about 60 counties and has
returned to take up his work as teach
er in the Normal He says he talked
with scores of county and city super
intendents, hundreds of teachers and
tens of thousands of school children.
He says if the flu doesn't interfere too
much there will be a great increase
in the attendance at the Normal this
coming year.
He speaks glowingly of the marvel
Gus improvement at Jenkins, Hazard,
Harlan, Lynch, and other places, but
says that education is not keeping
pace with the material progress in
Kentucky. This is not healthy con-
dition and the people must soon be
aroused to the fact that the educa-
ton of their children is the most i'm
portant question of the day. He says
that the majority of rural teachers
are receiving only $40 to $50 per
month and are compelled to pay half
Of this or more for board on account
of the high cost of living. He says
the state must Immediately realize
the situation and offer some relief, or
it win retrograde as q people and IL
iteracy win increase. It must de-
mand better teschers and pay them
adequate salaries. This question is
vital to the state and should appeal
strongly to the next General Assem-
bly,.

B. B. Million Coming Home

The Lexington Leader yesterday
had this note of interest here: B. B.
Million, of Madison county, who has
been in Lexington for several months,
has purchased a home in his native
county which he has desired for twen-
ty years. This place is few miles
from Richmond and here the former
turfman has begun improvements on
the house that will give him every
comfort that can be had in city. The
Madison county farmer now has
something like $4,000 pounds of to-
bacco in his barns and will have a
larger acreage next season. Some
years ago the colors of B. B. Million
Were familiar to race goers, and the
victory Of his 3-year-old colt, Bill
Letcher, In the Latonia Derby, with
the top heavy favorite Riley hopeless
ly beaten viii long be remembered.
Mr.. Million grew up under the shadow
of White Hall, the home Of General
Cassius MarcelIus Clay, and speaks
Interestingly Of the statesman. The
once famous home where lived the
great abolitionist, is, according to
Mr.. Million. now occupied by a tenant.

Gun Fights Mark Efforts
To Enforce Bone-Dry Law

Detroit, Mich, Jan. 25-Since the
constabulary took up the work of en-
forcing Michigan's prohibition laws
at the Ohio border, it is estimated that
close to s1,0O0,OO0 worth of liquor
based on the price commanded for it
in Michigan, has been confscated.
Wicked sporting rifles and revolvers
of as calibre are playing a part in the
enforcement of prohibition on the
border. Scores of attempts to carry
contraband liquor into the state in au-
tomobiles and on freight trains have
been brought up short by these wea-
pons in the hands of members of the
state constabuiary.
The troopers are posted at various
points along the long network of
roads that lead into Michigan from
the south. They frequently appear in
the dead of night before an automo-
bile threading its way along the
rough country highways. To escape
or prevent search is impossible. Some
would-be smugglers who have at
tempted to speed but were halted
when the rear tires of their machines
were ripped open with bullets.
Hundreds of arrests and prosecu-
tons have discouraged the practice of
bringing whisky across the line on
electric cars and passenger trains.
Now troopers are called upon to stop
freight trains and look for riders of
the "blind baggage" The smugglers,
! it is declared, are moved to take des-
lperate chances by profits offered.
Michigan became dry nearly a year
ago.
Although there have been pitched
battles and considerable gun play be-
tween the troopers and smugglers, IA
talities have been comparatively small
One smuggler who had sawed-off shot
gun when taken from a train, deelar-
ed that gun fights among the whisky
runners themselves are not infre-
quent. The theory Of the authorities
in most cases is that the intoxicated
smugglers have been quarreling
again.

BALLADS AND SONGS
OF MOUNTAINEERS
Given In Realistic Way At Methodist
Church Lecture Course By Rev.
G. r. Combs, One of Them.

An unusual and very interesting
sort of entertainment was given by
the laity of the Methodist church Fri
day night as the first of a series of
lectures when Rev. G. R. Combs, of
Paris, spoke on and sang ballads and
songs of the Kentucky mountaineers.
Combs, mountaineer himself ma
tive of Owsley county, has been col
lecting the unwritten traditions and
ballads of the mountain people for
many years and has over 400 of them
as they have been handed down in
families and communities for several
hundred years. That many of them
are survivals of old English ballads
there is no doubt and has been prov
en- several time by investigators from
across the waters.
Mr.. Combs has classified his eoIlec-
ton into the romantic, the humorous
and the "rowdy," and he sang num-
bers of each, and gave a true pic
ture of conditions in what where once
the almost inaccessible communities
of Owsley, Knott, Breathitt, and 9TH
er mountain counties, which gave 10
cal color to the songs of the natives
Among the songs he sang were "The
Dying Soldier" "The State of Ar
kansas" Jersey City," "John Hardy"
"The Moonshiner," "Jack and Jo,"
"The Chewing Gum Girl" "Time
Enough Yet" Cripple Creek" Love
Somebody" "Goin' Down to Town."
"Sourwood Mountain" "Buck Creek
Girls" and eliza Jane" He played
on the dulcimer, and said that this
quaint instrument has ben found no
where else in the world except in the
Kentucky mountains. He also gave
very enjoyable exemplifcation of
how the banjo is played by the noun
tain folk-so differently from the or
binary minstrel methods. His tribute
| to his old mountain mother was beau
tiful in the extreme, and his descrip-
ton of Hardshell Baptist footwash-
ing was enjoyed by all. DIR. Combs
handles his topic in way that ought
to be worthy of place on any Chau-
tauqua platform He delighted every
one of the good-sized audience which
had the pleasure of hearing him. He
is pastor of the Methodist church at
Paris.

LLOYD GEORGE STATES
BRITISH PLAN TODAY
Wilson To- State His Views on League
Of Nations Later. But Are Said
To Be In Accord With England

Paris, Jan. 25-British Premier
Lloyd George, at the second open ses-
sion Of the peace conference today,
prepared TO discuss the British plan
for a league Of nations the outlines
Of which are published in the United
States for the first time this morning,
This fulfilled predictions that Presi-
dent Wilson would leave 20 European
statesmen the opening Of the subject
and withhold his own view for the fu-
ture. It is said on the authority Of
those in a position to know that the
Presidents plans are generally in &C
cord with the British outline.
The outstanding British principle,
which declares a distinction must be
realized between justifable disputes
and non-justtifable disputes and that
each state must be the final judge as
to whether a dispute is justifable, is
taken in Aemrican circles as quite in
line with the developing opinion
among all delegates.
The generally -rystallizing idea
here also agrees with the British view
that the league viii probably be the
guardian for small nations extending
international assistance for the de-
velopment and preservation of their
economic and financial welfare as well
as military sovereignty. Meanwhile
It was said unofficially that President
Wilson is considering some phase not
expressed in the British outline.

Local Stockholders In
On Big Oil Purchase

w. N. Fitchett, manager of the To-
cal Office of the Cooperative Land and
Development Company, was pleased
this week to learn of the purchase of
the Miliie Freeman farm in Estiu
county. by his concern. He states
that he has been selling quite lot of
stock here. 1t is understood that
Edward r. Simms, the Bourbon coun-
ty millionaire, who made most of his
money out of oil in Texas, is behind
the Cooperative. Predictions are
made that quick advances will be
made in this stock, as it is acquiring
some valuable oil territory in some Of
Kentucky's richest fields. The an
nouncement of its new purchase, said:
The Cooperative Land and Devel-
opment Company has purchased the
Millie Freeman farm in fee, including
a one-sixteenth royalty in the oil, ac-
cording to a report reaching Lexing-
ton last night and confirmed by s. ".
Brents, who is connected with the To-
cal Office of the company in the Sc
eurity Trust building. The deal, which
is said to have been pending for some
time, was closed this week bp C. L.
Bell, president of the company, and
also president of the Bourbon Oil &
evlopment Company. The considera-
ton was not made public, but is said
to have been between $4,000 and
$40, 1000.
The Millie Freeman farm embraces
400 acres lying on the watershed be-
tween Rross Greek and Station Camp
Creek, in Estill county, and reaching
across the latter stream into Jackson
county. 1t joins the Joel Hubbard.
Hugh Bowles and John w. Flynn and
Patsy Richardson leases, on all of
which there are paying oil wells. The
Bowles farm intervenes between the
Freeman tract and the Comet farm.
The lease on the Freeman farm is
held by the Lincoln Oil and Gas Co.
which has seven producing wells on
the tract and two or three others
drilling. Some of these wells are said
to be pumping as high as go and 70
barrels per day and it is claimed that
none of them are less than 20 barrel
producers
The Bourbon Oil and Development
Company secured so acres of the
Freeman lease from the Lincoln Oil
and Gas Company, in exchange for
drilling, and its first well on this part
of the farm was brought in last week
and is rated as a 20 barrel well.
John Jewell and associates have
drilled in two wells on a narrow strip
of land on one corner of the Freeman
lease, which is claimed by the Lincoln
Oil & Gas Company. This disputed
land is said to cover about three acres
and it now in litigation, and if il
should be adjudged to be part of the
Millie Freeman lease, it would give
the new owner of the farm a royalty
in 10 producing wells to begin with.

TO NATIONALIST
THE COAL MINES

"A six-hour work day and a five
day week, wage increases, nationali-
cation of the coal mines and tie right
to organize and bargain collectively
with the Government were the prin-
clpal declarations at the last meet
ing of the policy committee of the
United Mine Workers at indianapolis,
which was attended by IT'S represen-
tatives of that organization.
These recommendations, it was
stated, We're intended to be a notice
to the Government and the operators
that the coal miners will deman
wage increases, instead Of reductions,
and that they will endeavor to en-
force shorter work day. It was al
so stated that British miners are now
attempting to establish the six-hour
day and increase wages, and that
Premier Lloyd George has declared
that this would place Britinh coal
operators in an unfair position to
compete with American mines, now
operated on an eight-hour basis.
Members of the policy committee
stated that if the declarations are
made effective they would not only
benefit American miners, but British
miners as we'll because the objections
raised by the British government
would be removed.

With the Labor World
Compiled by Local Scribe, A. F. of L.

The manufacturers have BEEN fore
ed to agree that hereafter when an
employee is discharged he will be ac-
corded the right to have his case re-
viewed by an impartial tribunal. This
demand aroused the greatest opposi-
ton of the employers who declared
that the unionsts were attempting TO
establish themselves in jobs for life.
But the strikers refused to waive
this demand and the employers We're
finally forced to accept it.
Other gains are: A union-shop
agreement; a 44-hour week; a wage
increase for week workers that rang
es from $3.50 to So a week, with
piece workers to be increased; work.
ers discharged for union activity are
to be Immediately reinstated with
pay for time lost and those unjustly
discharged after being employed four
months are to be Immediately rein
stated with back pay. These protec-
lions, the unionists show, will make
| it impossible for manufacturers to
victimize any active worker in their
movement.
About 10000 workers are affected
by this settlement. The strike orig
inally involved about 10000 workers,
but manufacturers outside of the as
ISOLATION settled with the union few
weeks ago.

TELEGRAPHERS CROWDED
OFF FIRST PAGE

New York City organized employees
of the post office department are
crowded off the first page of newspa-
pers with their quarrel with Postmas-
ter General Burleson because of the
Postal Telegraph company's quarrel
with the postal chief.
Mr.. Burleson recently deposed
Clarence H. Mackay, president of the
Postal and several other officials be-
cause, he said, they refused to obey
orders" Then Mr.. Burleson said
wage increases compelled him to raise
telegraph rates 20 per cent. Now the
organized commercial telegraphers
say, SEARCH US for wage increases"
Then Mr.. Mackay took the center of
the stage and averred that Mr.. Bur-
Lesson is in cahoots with the Western
Union and he filings mass of fig
ures at the postal chief to prove his
point. Mr.. Mackay says cit is alb
solutely unnecessary" to raise tele-
graph rates except that "Mr. Burle-
son has agreed to pay the Western
Union more than he should have
agreed to and in order to realize that
amount he has to raise the rates."
eff Mr.. Burleson will return oul
lines to us at once" continues the
Postal man, 1--WE will carry on tbs
telegraph business at the old rates.
Mr.. Mackay also says that the West
ern Union is not adminiserated care
fully and economically.
But Western Union is saving moth
ing. 1t is too busy raking in the
shekels and victimizing members of
the Commercial Telegraphers' union.
