Some Facts Regarding Operations at the
 Lyman Dam

Albert Erhardt, who is repres- enting the state in its relation to the Lyman dam enterprise and is a director of the Lyman Water Company, with which the state is conducting its business with the water users under that project has moved his office from the scene of operations to Phoenix, says the Republican.
 The work, he said yesterday. was progressing satisfactorily, and the dam will be completed by the first of the year by Parks and Johnson, the local contract ors. When it is completed it will at first furnish water for the irri- gation of 15,0OO acres and a little later perhaps 5000 more may be added. At present. 1000 acres are being cultivated.
 About fifty men are employed in the work and an electric light plant is being installed in order that another shift may be put on,

St. Johns Stake Academy.

August lS, 1920. To Parents, Patrons, and Pros pective Students:
 At times the Academy has felt *that it was alone in its fight for better conditions although on seri- ous thought it has known that it could not be.
 Now that the people are taking up the matter and civil authorities as we'll as ecclesiastical influences are getting behind the movement conditions will undoubtedly be a great deal better throughout the whole Stake than they have been.
 No single organization can do very much alone. Nor can even the Church advance very far ahead of popular sentiment.
 Now that action IS taken in a material way against vice and the civil authorities as we'll as the Churches are together with the schools, it should be more desir- able than eyer to send children here to school, because the school will undoubtedly receive more universal help toward better and higher influences. Working alone it is near to helpless.
 Those who are furnishing board and room to students will be requested to make a written re- port each week as to their con- duct, studiousness and hours kept. This does not mean tat ting or spyingin that sense eith- CT, but just comradeship and help.
 It certainly is time that we are making a systematic and if necessary a hard listed fight against certain existing conditions and some of the habits, customs that are beginning to prevail.
 Andy this much we can rest assured of: that conditions else where are not any more favorable.
 And the time has passed when we can shut our children up at home and keep them away from the unfavorable conditions which exist. We can only be more dili- gent in bettering the conditions and at the same time more dili- gent in instilling in our young people the ability and the desire to pick out that which is good and shun the other.
 And to this end we can form social committees and impose the burden on to social workers, teachers, civil authorities and the Church Organizations, but the most potent and greatest influ- ence in this direction and the only one that can exert an effect ual control, is the one funda- mental unit of all society and all government-the Home.
 When there is a strongly cen tralized social committee formed in each home with father as head and mother as first counsellor; when things are back on the Old

 When a tree is small and young it is susceptible to change and influence and will grow into nearly any shape we want it. E But if we wait until it grows up and then try to mould it we are sure to fail. It can't even bend. Its ways are too strongly formed. We can break it but not change it very much And every thing in life if pretty much the same. Raise a child up in youth the way he should go and he will not depart there from"
 Note again one of the first laws: Thou shalt honor thy Father and thy Mother" and again, Thou shalt obey" Obedi- ence is written on every sheet of natures great tablet. Samuel told Saul: ''To obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams"
 The child who is taught obedi- ence, not blind obedience but sensible cooperative obedience. and law and order in the home will seldom run against the snags of the laws of the land or the needful laws of organizations or institutions.
 Pa ents, citizens, teachers and students all cooperating togeth- CT now and this year can make the St. Johns Stake Academy better than ever before. When students come with the spirit of work and the real desire to learn, tho biggest half of the education al problem is solved. A student who won't work and doesent want to learn can't be taught. An ounce of climb up the ladder of life is worth tons of push ad- ministered by somebody else.
 It is less than month now un- til the Academy will start. For us, our school is better than any body else s school. The grass just over the fence often looks a little bit greener, but when we get over it looks just about the same. Distance lends en- chantment to the veiw but as we approach, we find things very much the same. The other fel- lows soup is so far away that we dont's see the flies in it, so we think there aren't any. And it is human nature that when we find a small one in ours, we think it is an elephant.
 Our Academy as we'll as other public institutions depends on every individual, and it's benefits are undeniably reaped by all. We must take pride in what we have and help to make it the best. If anything that we are interested in is not the b c g t in our opinion, we must ask ourselves what we have done by deed or word or look or glance to make it better.
 Every influence should be brought to bear by you and every other individual old and young, and by every organization, to the end that all high-school students and those of high-school age will be ready to enroll in the Academy September 9th.

COX WINS PRIZE
HEREFORD BULL

The ability of Gov. James M. Cox,
Ohio, to select from a herd of rich
est bred cattle the best animal in
the bunch has won for him a prize
Hereford bull, the gift of former
United States Senator Johnson N.
Camden. The animal is valued at
$4,000 and was one of the leading
sires of Senator Camden's Woodford
County farms.
Following brief tour of Western
Kentucky in the interest of his can
didacy for the Democratic nomina-
tion for President, some time ago,
Governor Cox was guest on the
Camden estate. The conversation
one day turned to the breeding Of
fine stock and Governor Cox evinced
such an intimate knowledge of the
subject that Mr.. Camden invited
him to inspect his prize bulls.
"If you can pick out the one I
prize most highly without anyone
assisting you will give him to
you," Senator Camden said, and
Immediately Ohio's Governor accept
ed the challenge.
The bull was delivered last week.

M'LEAN COUNTY POOR FARM
MAY BECOME RICH FARM
Earl N. Swan TO Spend $4,000
To Drill 1000 Foot Oil
Well on Farm

The county poor farm of Mclean
may soon become a rich farm, an as
set rather than a liability to the
county.
The deepest Gil well in Western
Kentucky to be drilled to a depth Of
1000 feet if necessary at an approx
innate cost of $4,000 by Earl N.
Swan, oil operator, will be located
on the farm Mr.. Swan announced
Saturday.
Mr.. Swan who has opened a suite
Of Offices in the Messenger building,
which will be the headquarters for
his operations in four states, Ken
tucky, Indiana. Illinois and Tennes-
see, has en- route here the biggest
rigging outfit ever used in Western
Kentucky. The outfit has been ship
ped from Wyoming. 1t should ar.
rive within couple of weeks and it
is hoped to start work drilling the
well by June Is.
The contract for the drilling has
been let to the Drayton Drilling
syndicate and the preliminary ar
rangements are in charge of F. A.
Stubbings. After the drilling has
started ]. L. Ferguson, a geologist
who has been connected with DR..
Charles N. Gould. of Oklahoma, ia
nous oil expert, will be on hand at
all times to check formations so that
accurate information can be obtain
ed as to the formations to that depth
in the western part of Kentucky.
The drilling will go down to the
Trenton sand which mas never been
reached in Western Kentucky.
Work has already started prepara-
tion for the drilling of the we'll.
Lumber has been shipped for the
four houses and the Office which
are to be built on the farm. These
houses will be lighted with electric
ity and with many other conven-
fences for from fifteen to twenty
men, who will be employed when
the drilling starts. Many of the ex-
perts are coming from outside, but
local labor will be used wherever
possible.
The county poor farm in Mclean
county is locatd near Sacramento
about six miles from, Calhoun.
Should oil be struck in big quanti-
ties Mclean rounty would be en-
riched The royalties on even one
100 barrel well would be $40 a day,
according to Mr.. Swan.

WILSON 0. KS PARTY
POLICY ADOPTED
Endorsement OF Virginia Plat
form Seen as Outlining
Views Of Convention

Washington, May 31.-Absolute
Endorsement was given by President
Wilson to the platform recently
apodted by Virginia Democrats in
their State convention.
The President wrote to Senator
Carter Glass that sentiments ex-
pressed in this notable document
are in full accord with my own
views, especially statements which
set forth the attitude of the party
on the League of Nations and the
pressing problems of peace, finance
and reconstruction"
Letters between President Will
son and Senator Glass and a copy
OF the platform were made public
at the White House.
This appreciation of the Virginia
platform by the President is taken
to mean that he desires the Demo-
cratic party to go to the San Fran
cisco convention and into the aut-
umn elections on the party record
as set out in the document. Signi-
fcancet is attached to the fact that
the President asked Mr.. Glass to
send copy of the platform to the
White House and that it was is
sued there with the presidential ap-
proval stamped upon it.
Obtained Presidents Views
1t was said in advance of the Vir-
ginia convention that Mr.. Glass had
either consulted the President or as
certained his views on possible
platform before the document was
submitted to the. Virginia Demo-
Gratis.
Absolute adherence to an unal-
tered treaty is demanded in the plat
form.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, is ac-
.cused of having declared that a sep
arate peace with Germany would
make us guilty of the blackest
crime" Mr.. Lodge is also quoted
as wLJting in the Forum for Decem-
ber, -l91S, that ''it would brand us
with everlasting dishonor and bring
ruin to us also il we undertook to
make a separate peace"

KNOCKOUT GIVEN VANCE ACT BY
FEDERAL JUDGE WALTER EVANS
Holds State AS Fixing so Cents Gallon Levy
; Is Unconstitutional-May Appeal

Louisville, KY, May 31.-The
Vance act, enacted by the recent
legislative session and levying tax
of SO cents a gallon on all whisky
held in bonded warehouses, was held
unconstitutional in a lengthy opin-
ion read in the federal court by
Judge Walter Evans.
The tax, which was to have been
used entirely for road maintainance
purposes, ultimately would have
given the state $15,OO0,000 for that
purpose, was estimates are that 30,-
100000 gallons of whisky are held
in Kentucky. The decision was CIV
