ALLIE JONES SELLS KINGS
FANCY FOR $500.

One of the best sales in recent
years Of young stallion was con-
summated Saturday when Allie G
Jones, of North Middetown, sold to
B. r. Pemberton, of Chicago, the
three-year-old chestnut stallion,
Kings Fancy, for $4,000.
Kings Fancy won both the sad
die and fine harness classes at the
Kentucky State Fair, in 1918, as a
two-year-old. He followed up these
successes the past season by again
landing these same classes and the
three-year-old and under champion
ship as we'll. He is by the peerless
Bourbon King. and his dam Eudora,
high-class brood mare by High
land Denmark. He is a full brother
to Kings Rival, which Mr.. Jones
showed with great success as two
and three-year-Old and later sold to
the late Girard S. Parsons, of Hamp-
ton, N. ]. He will probably make
his first show for Mr.. PembertOn at
the International Livestock Show, to
be held in Chicago, in December.

MAKE "UNCLE BILL" SCH0OLER
NEW STATE PRINTER.

THE NEWS has information to
the effect that w. F. ("Uncle Bill")
Schooler, editor and publisher of the
somerset Commonwealth, and one of
the best-known journalists i'm the
state, Will be candidate before his
party for the Office of Public Prin-
ter. Personally, privately and other
wise, we say amen to Uncle Bills"
candidacy, and commend it without
hesitation.
A better-equipped man for the
position could not be selected.
Schooler has been in the printing
business from his infancy, and has
filled many important and response
bic Offices in the profession. He was
for long time in the Government
Printing Office at Washington, and
has spent the larger part of his life
in the newspaper game in this and
other States. He has given his time
and talents unhesitatingly and with
out stint to the services of his party,
and certainly deserves we'll at the
hands of the powers that will be in
control at Frankfort. His fitness
for the position is unquestioned, and
with him at the helm of the State
print shop, the State will be the
gamer in business sense and the
newspaper game will lose good
man, at least temporarily.
