THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION
APPLIED

Cotton planters, already fighting
the boil weevil all the way from New
Mexico to TIE Atlantic Ocean and
threatened by the pink boil worm
which occasionally gets across the Rio
Grande, are not to have any more
alien enemies on their hanus if the
united States Department of Agricul-
ture can prevent it. lmcorters re-
Gently have insisted upon bringing IN
considerable quantity OF cotton seed
from Porto Rico. Inc seed may be
free from disease, or it may not. No
body has very accurate or thorough
knowledge OF injecting insects and
pests of cotton IN Porto Rico. So, be-
rore admitting the Porto Rican seed,
the Department of agriculture is go
IMP to make thorough investiDat. on
OF the subject. A specialist has been
commissioned to go to Porto Rico and
make study of cotton insects on the
island. HIS report will enable the
department to be certain whether or
not cotton seed from Porto Rico is in
any way a menace to the cotton inter-
ests of the United Staes.

Mitchell Sues Bank
To Recover On Notes

Suit has been filed in the City
Court of Americas by W. E. Mitch
ell against the Commercial City Bank
and Crawford Wheatley, in which Mr..
Mitchell seeks to recover SIS, 126.36.
Mr.. Mitchell in his petition alleges
that in January, 1919, he purchased
from the bank through Mr.. Wheatley,
who, he says, was then president and
active agent of the bank, twenty-five
promissory notes signed by J. l.
Glawson, and aggregating in value
the amount sued for. He further al
legeS that the transaction was a bona
tide one, and that he paid Mr.. Wheat
ley, for the use of the bank, the
amount claimed as the purchase price
of the notes. Having demanded pay
ment of Mr.. Glawson. Mr. Mitchell
alleges Mr.. Glawson refused. He
then brought suit against Mr. Claw
son, and at the January, 1920 term
of the City Court here, a jury re-
turned verdict adverse to Mr.. Mitch
ell. He then says that the Glawson
notes were rendered by him to Mr..
Wheatley and the bank, and that Mr..
Wheatley refused to accept the notes
and rescind the purchase contract
under which he had received them.
He further alleges that Mr.. Wheat
ley wilfully deceived him at the time
the Glawson notes were sold to him
through Misrepresentation as to
their validity and worth.
Mr.. Mitchell was formerly stock
holder in the bank and member of
the board of directors of the institu-
ton, but several months ago dispos-
ed of his interest in the bank.
Mr.. Mitchell is represented in the
proceedings by W. W. Dykes and
HiXon & Pace.

Fifty Thousand Farmers Own Trucks.

..
At least $4,000 farmers in the Unit
ed States own motor trucks which
they use on their farms. This is
shown by preliminary survey of the
ownership and use of motor trucks
by farmers undertaken by the Office
of Farm Management and the Bureau
of Crop Estimates of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The data secured by this inquiry an
swer many questions which have been
asked repeatedly in recent years re-
gardlng the extent to which motor We
hicles are used for farm handling.
The figures on which totals for the
nation and the several states are bas-
ed were secured from approximately
$4,000 selected crop reporters of the
Bureau of Crop Estimates. These
co-operators were asked to report the
names and addresses of farmers they
knew who own motor trucks for farm
use. Pleasure cars and traiIers for
use with pleasure cars were exclud-
ed, and the reporters were asked not
to take account of trucks which are
used primarily for general custom
hauling, or on regularly established
routes.
This survey can scarcely be con-
sidered a complete census for it is
probable that in some localities the
crop reporters were not acquainted
with all the truck owners, but it is
certain that a very large per cent
have been listed. 1t is believed that
in no state were less than rs per cent
of the trucks reported. If not COM
plete in every respect, the figures
show the relative distribution very
satisfactorily.

JOHNSON PULL

Wood, Lowden And
Harding Camps
Concerned
BY HARRY B. HUNT
N. E. A. Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Disturb-
ing. reports from political diagnostic.
ians sent out from Washington to take
the pulse of the west and middle west
with view of determining the men,
tai and physical condition of the G.
0. p, are causing considerable con-
Germ in the Wood, Lowden and Hard
ing campaign camps here.
johnson Strong.
These reports state that party boss
es are for this trio, but that voters
lean strongly4to Hiram Johnson and
his progressive tendencies.
Senator Johnson learned rough
riding under Roosevelt and demon
strated his skill by sitting tipht in
second place in the great Bull Moose
tourney of 1912.
Briefly, this is how one of the dag
nosticians sized it up today:
1.-The Roadway that has been made
by the leading Republican candidates
to date is organization headwav. II
hasn't been Roadway in the support of
the rank and file Of voters.
mere Is growing current of
opinion that Wood. Lowden and Hard
ing are too closely allied in svmpa-
thies and interests with those conser-
vative reactionary influences favor
able to the peaceble progress of big
business special interests and ali
that those terms imply.
Causing Talk.
"There is plenty of organization
money behind the campaigns of Wood.
Lowden and Harding. But there is
little or none behind the movements
of any of the so-called progressive
Republicans-Johnson, Poindexter,
Governor Allen, of Kansas. Whv?
That question is being asked more
and more everv day. And it is caus-
ing lot of talk and lot of think
ing.
at would not he surprising if an
early result of this condition would
be the consolidation Of the progressive
sentiment in the Republican rarty
behind some distinctly progressive
candidate, probably Johnson, and the
raising, by voluntary contribution, of
fund sufficient to provide the neces-
sary organization work"

MANY TEACHERS FAIL
IN Examinations


{ OF the 2,402 teachers who took the
examination for teachers certificates
1882 failed to pass, 541 were granted
first-class certificates and 679 second
class certificates. The figures shov
that 81 per cent passed the examina
ton and 40 per cent failed.
The failure of so large per cent
is due to the fact that teachers arc
deprived of scholarships in training
schools. Heretofore rural teacher
have been so poorly paid for thei
services that it has been impossibl
eor them to receive training in teach
rs training schools.
Progressive states have adopted thr
plan of bringing the training schoo
to the teacher by providing one year
teachers training course in each coun.
ty. While Kentucky is far behind IL
this line the time is not far distant
according to Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction George Colvin, wher
teachers training courses will be es
tabIished in a high school in eact

nothing equals Constance Binney's

ture is an adaptation from Lucille

charm the story of d little Brooklyn
girl with a French accent, who is
kept in sheer ignorance of the SIM
plest things in life by her misguided
though affectionate grandfather. The
story hinges upon the efforts of Fell
cia Day, who is called Little Miss
-the-Day" because she hires out to
sew "by the day." to earn sufficient
money to recover the ownership of
her beautiful home, which has been
legally entangled by an unscrupulous
lawyer. In place Of the frowsy lod-
gers who have taken possession of
the house, Felicia installs group of
potential geniuses-young men and
girls discovered by Felicia in the last

tie international disputes, but the
council, after two days Of delibera-

HEAL TIL BOARD IS
PROTECTING BABIES

The Kentucky State Health Board
officials are paying special attention
to illness of infants with the result
that the mortality rate is showing q
material decrease.
1t is q sad commentary on civiliza-
ton, however, to konw that 72 per
cent of the deaths Of children under
two years are preventable. The last
General Assembly created Bureau
of Child Welfare in the State Boa d
of Health, hut unfol tuRately it has
10 appropriation with which to carry
on its wolk for the next two years.
Ii some public-spirited citizen desires
to build monument in the grateful
hearts of the mothers of the state,
the financing of this bureau for the
next two years will be an excellent
opportunity. There is 4 tremendous
field in Kentucky for prenatal etn-
cation and for the prevention of dis
case and death caused at or immeti-
ately following child birth.
Careful study in many parts Of tie
state Indicate that large number of
the school children are under-weigh3
for their age and height. Such chill
dren, as a rule, are not making nor
NAL progress in their studies. The Blu
reau of Public Health Education of

ed to help the mothers of such chill
| dren or the teachers in schools which
have many such children with sug-
gestions as to simple notifications il

! pecially urged that all school children
drink at least quart Of clean, whole
some milk each day
