RIPY ADS. DROPPED
FROM AIRPLANE
(Danville Advocate)

An airship was sailing over this
county yesterday dropping circulars
c3!ling attention to the candidacy oil
Col Frank Ripy, of Lawrenceburg, as
Il cdnd,j:: cate for the democratic nomi;
nLt'On tar Congress in the primar,~
next Saturday. Col. George Weather
ford caught one of the circulars as it
came down near the Depot Lunch
DOM. Col. Weathefford is an ardent
supporter of Col. Ripy. The machine
spent some time flying over Stanford
and Rowland and was observed by
parties drivingFto Crab Orchard. 1t is
understood that the flying machine
will visit every county in the district
and scatter circulars, appealing to the
voters to support Col. Ripy.
It is not known whether Col Ripy
has employed the aviator to canvass
for him or whether his friends are re-
sponsible for the adoption of this no
vel campaign maneuver. The follow.
ers of each candidate are giving the
finishing touches to the campaign this
week preparatory for the battle of
ballots on Saturday. Judge Ralph Gil
bert, Of Shelbyville, has an excellent
organization in Boyle county and his
hackers are claiming that he will get
a fine vote here. Ripy and Davis sup
porters are equally as confident that
their man will carry the county. Da-
Wis supporters at Perryville have per
fected an organization and are wag-
ing pretty vigorous campaign this
week.

CITIES ABROAD CLEAN

New York,-The large cities of Eu-

models Of cleanliness and comparative

ton. This Is due to the fact that the

LOT OF BALKAN
POOR UNHAPPY
Peasants Work From Dawn to
Dark and Have Little to Eat
Except Corn Bread.
HALF OF CHILDREN SURVIVE
Homes Are Made Attractive on the
outside, Although They Are Bare
Of comforts-Peasants Are
Simple and Honest.

Belgrade, Serbia.-To the American
visitor accustomed to the ordinary
comforts of life 1t Is q constant source
Of wonder how the peasants and poor
Of the Balkans can live on the meager
food they have. Poor cOrnbread, sup
plemented by goats cheese or ordinary
leek or onions, forms the diet Of
large part of the village population.
This slender regime produces robust
bodies, strong muscles and rosy cheeks
The adage that bread is the stan Of
life finds its best proof here.
On the whole. the poor Of the Bal
kan countries have an unusually hard
lot in life. Their poverty Is practically
permanent. Their plight seems to ex-
cite little sympathy from those who
are we'll of. There is cGllOused In
difference to the sufferings Of the poor
which strikes an American as almost
heartless. In few If any Of the Bad
kan states does the government make
any provision for care of the poor.
This work In the past has been left
largely to foreign relief agencies end
private charitable organizations.
Eioht-Hour Day Unknown.
The eight-hour working day 80 COM
mon in the United States is unknown
In the Balkan rural districts. The
peasant works from sunrise until after
dark. He is so bent and weather
beaten that he looks twice his age aft
or thirty. In some cases he belongs

an existence unknown In the country
districts of America. At night one
often passes whole wagon loads Of
them OH the road going from town to
town. Every man is asleep on his
load and is not disturbed by thoughts
of burglars or highwaymen.
The peasant removes his hat to
everyone better dressed than himself
and gets his ox-cart off the road for
every automobile. He Is simple,
honest, hOme-loving person with
much homely virtue. The peasant
women have enormous families Of
children, only about half of whom
survive the rlgors of child-life in the
extreme conditions that prevail In the
Balkans.
Cottages Are Crude.
The peasants cottages are crude
structures with matched roofs and
mud walls. But they contrive to
adorn them with attractive exteriOrs
and take great pains to produce the
utmost decorative effect. This en-
bellishment frequently takes the form
Of porch with a small background
bearing border design whose con-
trasting colors and composition sug-
gest the patterns used by the Nava-
jos of the American Southwest In
blankets and carpets.
But while the exterior of the home
is sttractiveI a peep into the inte-
rior shows the economic stress un.
der which these people live. There
is seldom any kind of food except
coarse cornmeal. The cooking uten-
sils are limited to a few homemade
pewter pots. The furniture consists
of a table and "a few rudely con-
structed benches. The beds usually
are upon the floor or upon rough
hewn boards.

Huesca. Spain.-The provincial gov

they intend to seize the lands now

not being allowed to cultivate the
land, were compelled to emigrate.
