PLANT WHEAT AT THE USUAL
TIME.

The Hessian fly, the great wheat
destroyer in Kentucky, will probably
make its appearance this year about
September LIST, as the many rains
recently furnished sufficient moist
ure 10 make the fly emerge. The
department of entomology, College
Of Agriculture, says that as no other
insect causes more damage to the
wheat crop of the State than the
Hessian fly and there is no such
thing as fly-proof-wheat, the best
method to follow to avoid loss is a
preventative method and is simply to
delay the planting of wheat until
the main body of the fly energies in
the fall. In Kentucky, according to
the location the time of planting
wheat varies. In the Blue Grass
section, October is the time and in
the western part of the State is
should be planted October 20. The
early rains may bring the flies out
earlier this year but the farmer
should plant wheat about the regu-
lar time. Circular No. 4, prepared
by the kentucky Agricultural Expe-
riment Station. on the Hessian fly
covers the subject thoroughly.

A LEWIS COUNTY JONAH
(Vanceburg SUM

A most unusual accident took
place at Kinniconick when Bernice,
the 12-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Riley Stamper, came near being
swallowed, Jonah style, by large
fish of the pike species. The boy
was sitting on the edge of the creek
bank dangling his foot in the water
at the edge of a deep hole and q
large pike i'm passing concluded that
there was his chance for a meal,
and, making a dash, swallowed the
boys foot. The fish wasn't long in
making up its mind that great mis-
take had been made and released its
human prey, though not before it
had very seriously injured his foot.
It cut large cash on top of the
boys foot near the instep and left
holes in the sole of the foot where
its teeth penetrated. Next day the
lads foot was greatly swollen and
was giving him much pain. Nothing
like this has ever happened here
about within the memory of our
oldest inhabitant.

BOUQUET FOR PARIS NEWSpA-
PER MAN.

The Lexington Sunday Leader
pays the following nice compliment
to hustling Paris newspaper man,
Robert S. Porter, the good part of it
being that it is well deserved:
'The complete story of the dam
age done by the storm at Carlisle,
Friday night, which was carried by
The Leadef, Saturday afternoon,
was due to the vigilance and indus
try of this Paris correspondent, Mr..
r. S. Porter. Mr.. Porter is one of
the most loyal, as he is one of the
most efficient, newspaper CORES
pondents in Kentucky. He heard of
the disaster at Carlisle at midnight
and made the trip over rough roads,
through mud and rain, to the
storm-stricken neighborhood, re-
turning early enough Saturday
morning to get to The Leader a
graphic story of the misfortune
which overlook the little city. The
story broke outside of Mr.. Por-
ter's territory, but with his usual
enterprise, he did not permit any
obstacle to interfere with his devo-
ton to his work"

PARIS BOY GOES US SEVERAL

From Washington, where he i.

sends THE NEWS the following:
In reading your paper / came
across an item telling about tree
in Connecticut, laden with green
apples, being struck by lightning,
cooking the fruit. / read the clip
ping aloud in the office this after
noon. A Virginia lady Of establish
ed varacity remarked that this
freak story reminded her of the day
when lightning struck large
chestnut tree in her back yard, and
the family gathered two bushels OF
roasted chestnuts from the ground.
Another young lady from a Middle
Western State offered this one: A
terrific forest fire swept over a corn
field near her home and roasted
sufficient ears of corn to feed the
hundred and fifty hungry fire fight
ers. There's more if you want
them"

VACATIONS AT HOME

There are people who take vaca-
tions in the winter, or in the spring,
or in the fall, just as there are peo-
pie who work at night and sleep by
day. But for the most of us the
summer, or some part of the sum-
mer, has always been the vacation
season. This year the high cost Of
living has prevented many persons
from putting aside a vacation fund.
What shall they do with the holi-
day period that is confronting
them?
We shall not offer suggestions of
sort to prick people on to make a
sacrifice. We shall not urge those
who are hesitating and unenthusi-
astic over the vacation outlook to
spend their time gardening Or
working on farms in order that the
threatened food shortage may be
sverted. We have in mind those
vacations are too brief to permit
them to be very serviceable as gard
eners or farm hands and whose en,-
make a period of relaxation desira-
BILE. Let lis assume that they will
have to stay at home this summer,
and that the various sports and
games, such as baseball, golf and
tennis, are not available for their
diversion.
There are three things that the
vacationists who must stay at home
in the city can do. One is to make
daily excursions on foot into the
the surrounding country as far as
his will and strength will carry
him. A walking trip daily with the
same point OF departure and return
may seem dull. But there are very
few people who know their own
cities we'll and still fewer who are
thoroughly familiar with the sur
rounding country. To take a differ
ent ten or twelve-mile walk every
day for two weeks is not an lnpos-
sibility for the city dweller.
He has, too, the opportunity to
read extensively and at leisure. He
has perhaps read all the books in
his own library, does not want to
re-read them and cannot afford to
buy new ones. But in the city there
is a public library about which he
may know little. Before he goes for
his daily walk, or after he returns
from it. he might spend some time
in the public library. There are
two or three famous novels that he
has always wanted to read; here is
his opportunity.
A third resource for the vacation
list at home might be the art muse
UNI of the city. He does not know
anything about painting or sculp-
ture. No; but it is not impossible
for him to learn. He should not
think that one visit to the museum
will teach him everything-or any
thing. He should go as often as he
can during the vacation; he should
sit down in front of any picture
that he likes and let himself dream
about it, with the sense that there is
nothing in the world awaiting him
or pressing for his attention, and
that for vacationist there are no
pleasures that surpass those of the
eye and the mind.

HOW TO ADVERTISE

The Poster Advertising Associa-
ton has protested against a recent
article to the effect that the politi-
cal parties whOuld be far wiser ta
advertise in the country newspapers
of the United States rather than to
scatter what they have to say by way
of the billboard nuisance.
The poster folks boast that 40 mil
lion dollars year is spent liz their
kind of advertising. Well, it is very
largely wasted.
Awell-known editor remarks that
to influence a mans views SO that he
will spend money, you must get hini
to read your advertisement SITTING
DOWN.
The billboards have no following
at all. Remember that.
