CHURCH ATTACKS
ON OPERA singer

Chicago, Nov. 2O-Backed up
by testimonial signed by all the
stars of the Chicago Opera Com
'pany, Georges Baklanoff, Russian
baritone, declared today he would
sing in Tosca tomorrow despite
a written protest made by DR.
Herbert L Willett, president OF
the Chicago Church Federation.
DR.. Willett sent a letter to the
opera directors demanding thai
Baklanoff be barred vecause of his
relations with Mile. Elvira ANA
Ear, a Russian singer, who caused
his arrest last winter on Mann act
charges. Baklanoff was held for
a time at Ellis Island on arrival
in this countr week ago and was
ordered deported, but later parol-
ed.
"The ability of singer is para
mount" Baklanoff declared after
reading DR.. Willett's letter, which
characterized his as "notoriously
immoral" Continuing the singer
said:
81 am no minister or priest
Very few artists make any pre-
tensions of being particularly
moral. Any how, very few such
people. go to the grand opera, Sc
if they object to me the opera
company will lose nothing"
Samuel insult, president of the
Commonwealth Edison Company
and one of the directors of the
opera company, said:
"The right of the public to ap-
praise moral values in the person
ality of an artist is question
would not care to discuss. This
is a matter for the grand opera
people themselves to decide"

SAMUEL PARKS
INHERITS MONEY

A man named Samuel Parks. who
is supposed to have come to the south
from Frazeysburg. o., in 1915, has in
herited some money according to a
letter that Postmaster r. C. Stockton
has received from the cashier of the
Peoples Bank of that city this week.
An effort is being made to locate
him. Here's what the bank cashier
writes the postmaster here about the
missing Parks:
November II, 1920

Parks. timber man, left here for
the south. He was about 5 feet and
9 inches tall, 55 years old, weight 240
pounds, dark Completed mustache,
no teeth, baldheaded. Would appre-
ciate it if you could give me any in
formation as to his whereabouts, as
he has inherited some property here.

CHARRED LITTLE BODIES
FOUND IN EMBERS

The bodies of the two little
Hume children who lost their
lives when the home of their ia
ther, Dave Hume, burned to the
ground on the farm of County
Attorney O. P. Jackson, late
Thursday, were discovered in the
debris and embers of the burned
home about noon Friday. The
bones and what was left of the
little bodies, charred and burned
almost to a crisp, were tenderly
placed in caskets and taken to
their old home near Kirksville for
interment. Mr.. and Mrs. Hume
have the sympathy of all in their
loss and bereavement. The two
little boys were all they had in
their little family.
lust how the fire started will
never be known. 1t is thought
that perhaps the little fellows in
their play either poked the fire
out of the stove or else knocked
it over in some way. Mr.. Jack
son says that the mother had been
told several times that it was very
dangerous for her to leave the
children alone at home with a fire.

WIN WITH ABERDEEN
ANGUS IN The SOUTH

The Lancaster Record tells of hon
ors that the Bradshaw Bros, cf that
county. Aberdeer-Angus cattle breed
ers, have been winning at the south
ern shows, as follows:
Bradshaw Brothers are just from a
tour of the southern fairs where
they exhibited their splendid herd of
Aberdeen-Angus cattle, capturing
many prizes of which they are natur-
ally very proud, since they went up
against opposition from practically
every herd throughout the country
They exhibited their cattle at the
Southeastern Fair Association at At
lanta, first, from there they went to
the Southern Fair Association at AL
bany, Ca, thence to the Georgia
State Fair at Macon, taking first
champion bull, fgst on aged COW and
first on bull calf, the latter being un-
defeated during the year. This calf
was sold and has been delivered to
Mr. w. L. Neale. of Boyle county,
the price paid being $4,000.
The winnings of this herd at five
shows which they were shown result
ed in 20 first prizes, 13 seconds, 18
champions and grand champions; IL
thirds and fourth prizes. This is
record we dare say has not been
equalled in the state of Kentucky.
The best fatted steer which won
second at the Kentucky State Fair,
won first at Atlanta, both champion
ship and grand champion in the An
gus class. He was butchered in At
lanta and won first on carcass test as
senior yearling; also champion and
grand-champion in the carcass test,
netting 64.7 per cent, and was sold
on foot for 20 IL cents pound
This yearling weighed 1900 pounds
and brought s270, having previously
won over $500 in prizes.
Their aged cow defeated two cows
in Atlanta that were bought just for
this show at $4,000 This was fine
victory and Messrs. Bradshaw are
now printing this cow for the Inter
national Show at Chicago next year.

RICH COAL TRACT
PAYSLOW TAXES
State Revenue Agent Mays Digs
Up Remarkable Tax Condi-
tion In Nearby County

Eleven thousand acres of coal
land in one of the nearby noun
tain counties worth easily ST ,OOO,-
OOO, 1t is said, have been taxed at
valuation of $4,000 or the past
several years.
State Revenue Agent for the
State w. o. Mays, has just re-
turned to his home in this city
from a visit to the county indica,-
ed, where he spent seevral days
digging out" the facts about
what appears to be fragrant vio-
latlon of the assessment and taxa
tion laws of the state. Anyway,
Mr.. Mays is going to test cut the
matter through the courts. He is
now planning to institute suit for
back tax collections, for several
years back, as allowed by the sta
tutes. Mr. Mays has reliable in
formation that the coal company
owning this big tract of land, has
priced it recently for sale at a
cool million dollars. Anyway the
entire ll,0OO acres are said to be
entirely underlaid with fine
quality Of coal, and Mr.. Mays
thinks that an assessment of only
$4,000 on the property is a joke
pure and simple.
