may TRANSFER
Juvenile COURT

w. X. Price, who has reputation
as being "The man of many COURTS
will perhaps be relieved of part cf
his duties, since the new law is gen
orally construed to mean that a part
of the duties, consisting of a portion
if not all of those of the juvenville
court be transferred to the circui'
court judge.
There is not a great deal of busI
ness connected with this court during
the time the schools are not in session
but Judge Price says that he kept
pretty busy at times during tho
school sessions.
One Interpretation of the law IS tt
the effect that the duties of this Of
flee will be entirely under the juris
diction of the Circuit Court Judge anG
another is that the work will be done
jointly, with the County Judge. 1t il
the belief that in community sucl
as Richmond, that giving of the Jurls'
diction entirely and exclusively int
the hands of the higher court would
not be satisfactory, is from the fact
that the circuit court is not in ses-
sion but at Certain periods and thai
it would be impossible for the Judge
to give prompt attention to the cases
which often times warrant it.
Officers of the various courts in
Richmond are awaiting a copy of the
new law to learn the exact status OF
affairs. Besides the juvenile court
Judge Price has jurisdiction over the
County Court, the Quarterly and the
Fiscal courts.

Grand Jury Dismissed
After Efficient Work

The members of the grand Ju-
ry who served during the May
term of the Madison circuit court
have completed theI1 work and
been excused by Circuit Judge
Shackelford. Many of them wil'
were residents of the count.yI l"st
little time returning TO thcir
homes and work, since this Is
their busy season. 1t was on this
account that Judge ollackelford
proved so liberal in disml,slllg
them at times during court ses-
sion, in order that they may at
tend their affairs at home when
their presence was not neces-
sary for the jury work. The
grand jurors returned II indlct
ments at the last meeting. but
these cases will not be glv..1 at
itention until the October term OF
court.

fort to defeat the "indiscriminate
sale" of liquor on physicians pre-
scriptions Internal Revenue Com
missioner Williams issued rul-
ing today limiting the number OF
permits allowed each physician to
1000 for three months except with
good cause.
The order which Williams is

study and investigation of records
of scores of physicians it "was
obligatory for physicians to show
where the liquor had gone before
more prescription blanks would
be issued by the Bureau. PRO
hibition agents" added Williams,
"must use judgment in issuing or
Withholding permits. They will
not refuse to issue them where

ton Army drive work are busy
ing themselves in the interest of
the organization representing

characterizing the giving spir1 of
Richmond Team work is II
evidence and the systematic So

believed.
Once upon a time a man was
digging a post hole. A passerby
stopped and said, "When you put
the post in the hole what will you
do with all the dirt you have tax
en- out?" The digger scratched
his head, looked about and then
said, "Ill just have to dig the
post hole a little deeper"
That's what the Salvation
Army is trying to do today-dig
the post hole deeper, so that all
the money received can be put
back with interest.
All over Kentucky the people
iare giving to the Salvation Army
in the Second Home Service
Campaign of that organization.
The Campaign began May 10th,
but many difficulties arose in
some sections, such as weather
conditions, etc, and so it was de-
cided to continue the campaign
until June lst.
The purpose Of the Campaign
is to raise enough money SO that
the Salvation Army workers car
| devote their whole time to thl
work and to provide for the en-
larged work which is constantly
pressing itself upon the organi-
zation.
Not many days are left for TIE
Campaign. What is to be done
must be done quickly. Those

! front. Those who have alread,
subscribed are being urged to en-
large their subscriptions so tha
the work shall not fail.

ed by the street work. The company
has a trian load of material, i'm
plements and machinery ready to

er north to another job, it is under
stood, however there will be no
dearth of workmen looked for here
