Remarkable Record
Of Mt. Sterling Boy

Mr.. Lewis A. Judy, special agent
Tor the Pacific Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company, of California, has
rscsjyed notification from the home
office that of the more than 1000
life producers, scattered through
out the United States he stands 65th
in new paid-for business up to Au-
Gust 31st. Mr.. Judy has jumped from
55th on the 31st day of July to the
place where he now stands.
This is quite a remarkable record
considering the fact that Mr.. Judy
has only been devoting his time to
life insurance since the first of the
year and the Pacific Mutual lis to be
congratulated, on numbering him
among its representatives in the life
department.

Winchester Population
Figures to be Probed

A. W. Dampler, of the Census
Bureau, is on his way to Winchester,
KY, to make an investigation and
report to Sam L. Rogers, chief of the
Census Bureau, whether a revised
enumeration of Winchester should
be made. A recount has been made
In a portion of the city and such
discrepancies from the original
count we're shown that the Census
Bureau was convinced there had
been an error in the enumeration.
Mr.. Dampler will make an investi-
cation into the situation and if it
appears to him that substantial in
justice has been done the city the
enumeration probably will be taken
over again.
Official announcement recently
made of the census of Winchester
gave the city's population as 1856,
gain of only 10 in ten years. The
Winchester Commercial Club, believ-
ing the enumeration had not been
properly taken, entered its protest
and the partial enumeration was
taken to get at the facts.
The result of the partial enumer-
alton has led to the belief that Win
chester is much larger than the CEN
sus figures show.

Plans to Meet the
Gas Emergency

The West Virginia Legislature has
passed q bill restricting the sale OF
natural gas to outside states until
the requirements Of West Virginia
are adequately supplied. This law is
now being contested in the courts
as it will materially affect the gas
supply of Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Kentucky, which is largely derived
from that state.
The Central Kentucky Natural
Gas Company, however, which sup
plies Mt. Sterling and adjacent
towns, is already preparing to meet
the emergency by contracting for
gas from wells on Frozen Creek, in
Breathitt county, and laying a
branch line from these to its wells
on the main line in Morgan county,
so as to have as plentiful supply
in case the West Virginia law is up
held in the courts.
This action on the part of the
company is very gratifying, especi-
ally on account of the present pro-
hibitive price of coal.

comfortable sum OF s4.017,24b,b99.
This was largely In excess OF the
