HOMES NEEDED
FOR KY. ORPHANS
Ky. Children's Home Has 225
Children. Appeal Made to
Place Some in Private
Homes.

The Kentucky Children's Home
Society now has in its Receiving
Home in Louisville. 225 children.
They range in age from few weeks
to. eighteen years, the youngest being
little girl less than three weeks, and
the Oldest girl eighteen years of age
Owing to the fact that we have had
no medium of telling the citizens the
number of children we have, we have
not had applications sufficient to place
them in homes.
We make this appeal to the citizens,
asking them to open their hearts and
homes to these children.
There are many in the institution,
who are sweet and attractive, and will
radiate Gods richest blessings and
sunshine to the families and homes
who take them.
The majority of these children are
ready for homes and when you take
one of them, you are obeying the in
junction of our Savior, who said "In-
asmuch as we have done it unto one
of the least of these, we have done it
unto me"
People who are not in a position to
give a child good care and attention
need not apply, for it is necessary for
us to know that our children will be

FIND UNDERGROUND RIVER
CLOSE TO HARRORDBURG.

Harrodsburg, KY, April IA few
days ago a big cavern of earth on
the farm of Jim Wilson on the Bohon
Pike. about a mile from town. re-
vealed through the opening a swift
underground river. This stream has
been measured and is thirty-eight
feet in depth. Trees and saplings a.
round the funel-shaped sink have
gradually been drawn into the open
ing by the sliding land, and those
that have fallen have been swept
away by the rushing current Hun
dreds of people have visited the place
The wonderful part is that the un-
foreground river is on top of hill.
William McFatridge says it was
handed down to him that about 100
years ago team of oxen was lost
in this cavern and that huge logs
were placed over the opening. He
believes that in the passing of time
the logs were covered with earth and
vegetation grew there and it was the
decaping of these logs that caused the
present cave-in.

U. S. EXPERIENCED o.
EARTHQUAKES IN 1918,
20 OCCUR IN WEST KY.

Though the general public may not
be aware of the fact, the United States
usually experiences from 100 to 200
earthquakes each year. This is shown
by reports sent to the Weather Bureau
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, from the large number OF sta
tions which il maintains in various
parts of the country and from its
voluntary cooperators who send in
notices of earthquakes observed in
their respective localities. The num-
Der OF disturbances last year was 81,
and the number reported the previous
year was 127. A very large proportion
OF these, OF course, are so slight as ia
be entirely unnoticed by the public.
On the Pacific coast slight earth tre-
mors are OF sufficient frequency to
cause no comment whatever. The
majority OF quakes reported are from
that region
One surprising fact, however, shown
by the summary of earthquake reports
for 1919, which has recently been pre-
pared is that more than a score of
these disturbances occurred in the
Mississippi Valley. The region COM
prising southern Illinois, southern
Indiana, western Kentucky, and
Western Tennessee experienced 20
quakes, while one was recorded in
northern Missouri two Immediately
south of Wichita, Kans., and one in
Washington, d. c. Many disturbances
in the total number reported would
have wholly escaped attention but for
the seismographs. which are so deli
cate that they usually will detect a
violent shock, no matter in what part
of the world il occurs

and asked Bobby to tell her all about
it,
at was not right to refuse to an
swer when he called" she said, so |
went to the door and spoke to him. I
did not want to tell him why until I
heard your story, because / did not
want to accuse him wrongfully. II he
does cheat you are quite right not to
play with him, and you must be frank
and tell him why. That will be the
greatest kindpess you can do him.
Now, what makes you call him a
cheat?"
well, when we we're playing mar
bles the other day he counted wrong
and took FIVE that did not belong to
him because he thought | did not
know it,. And he pushed two or three
from Jake's pile over to his own with
his foot when he thought no one saw
him. And at school he cut his desk
and told the teacher it was another
boy. He's getting so that none of the
fellows will play with him any more
and | won't either"
Are you sure he does these
things?" asked Mrs. Blake.
why, yes. am sure. I've seen him
cheat any number of times. and I've
told him So"
IF you are very sure he does act
that way, Bobby, you are right and so
are the other boys who refuse to play
with him. And you are right to tell
him why. Perhaps you can teach him
to do better"
Jaw, I've told him a dozen times
to cut it out, but he tries to sneak
every chance he gets"
Poor boy, he is very unfortunate.
commented Mrs. Blake "A cheat
cheats himself worse than anybody
else Bring him to me some time,
Bobby, and let me talk to him | don't
want to see him going wrong without
doing something to try to put him
right
Every mean act he does lowers his
character by just so much, and if he
continues this way he has terrible
life ahead of him. AS he is losing all
of his boy friends now by his dishon-
est ways, he will continue to find him
self Stunned by respectable people as
he gets older and finally will have no
companions but bad men.
That is the worst fate that could
happen to any one. No amount of
riches could ever make up for loss of
respect-self-respect and respect of
others. When one loses that he is
about through. And that is just as
true of nation as of person.
mo other country had any respect
for Germany after she went back on
her word. Her death knell began toll

as scrap. of paper
mo one wants German bonds. But
your Uncle Sans promises are as
good as gold, because every one
knows his word is always kept Every
one knows that Liberty bonds will
be paid when due. They have Uncle
Sans word for that"
We'll, mother, I'll let Perkins come
in when hear him call again, and if
you can't persuade him to come clean
we'll take up collection to send him

20,172 TON OF TOBAC-
CO EXPORTED IN 1919.

In 1919, 2O,172 tons of leaf tobacco
valued at $6,229,6O5 were exported. as
against 1905 tons at $1.S23,65O in
1914. Cigars to the extent of 392,334
thousands at $S,O7S.s53 were exported
in 1919, as against 1878 thousands
at $2,315,159 in 1914 Strikes in the
United States created great demand
for the Philippine manufactured pro-
duct instead of leaf tobacco, so that
the export of leaf tobacco for 1919
showed a slight decrease from that
for 1918. while cigars showed an in
crease over 1918 of $2,OOO,OOO.

WEED BEDS RUINED, NIGHT
RIDER TROUBLE BREWING.

Hopkinsville. Ky, April 15.-De-
stroying of three tobacco plant beds
in the Bennettstown section, of the
county, and the warning of farmers
in Stewart county, Tenn, that they
must not sell their tobacco at present
prices presage instances of revival
of night-riding in this section. The
plant beds were ruined by being SOW
ed with red top clover seed.

Cow TESTING

Tests conducted at the Ohio Expert
ment Station show that only about
hours time year is required to de-
termine the amount of milk and fat
production of a COW.
The Sta ion points out that many
tests of cows ability are required,
for there are variations of both
quality and quantity of the cows milk
from time to time. The weighing
and testing OF single milking gives
no reliable idea of cows productive
ability, so that monthly records are
required to determine the correct
data.
Weighing scales and common
milk tester, which costs from $40 to
SIS, are practically the only materials
needed to determine the data.
1t is pointed out that the tests are
also of value as guide to proper
feeding as well as locating low-pro-
ducing cows in the herd. This makes
| it possible to give extra feed TO q
heavy producer during the early part
of the milking period, while a small
producer would require less feed.
The old idea that high producers
are improbable because of more ex.
acting requirements in food and care
is causing loss to many dairy farm
ers, it is said.
Where farmer determines the
cows ability to consume and make
proper use of food beyond the main.
tenance requirements. it is quite pos.
sible to determine the exact value Of
the COW for dairy purposes.

LIT. COL. RALPH d. COLE
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR

Hon. Ralph D. Cole has responded
to urgent requests from the Hancock
County Republican Executive and
Central Committees by announcing
himself as a candidate for the nom
nation for Governor of Ohio, on the
Republican ticket. Eighteen coun-
ties including his own county, have
endorsed his candidacy and he has.
to say the least good start in the
race for the Republican gubernatoria..
nomination.
1t. Col. Cole makes the following
statement in his letter announcing
his intention of becoming candidate:
eve have reached a grave crisis in
the history of the Republic; the SOW
ereignity and independence of tire
nation must be maintained; law and
order must be preserved and strles
economy be exercised in the admiGis-
tration of public business.
To this end l believe that our couTl-
try demands Republican leadership
nd reg ardless of personal interests
Tend to fight for the restoration
Of the Republican party in both State
and Nation"
To US, these words ring true; they
sound 100 per cent American, indicate
loyalty to the fundamental principles
of American government, sound con-
victions of the duties of citizenship
and an unshaken faith in the party
which he represents.
Mr.. Cole served for four years in
the Ohio State Legislature, six years
in Congress and as Lieutenant
Colonel in the S7th Division during
the World War.
He is a manly man with a clear
record, meriting the confidence of his
fellow citizens and as republicans We
are proud of him. as a candidate ful
governor.

HIGHWAY WORKERS
EXAMIN NATIONS

The State Civil Service Commission
in calling examinations for highway
superintendents, foremen and inspec-
tors announces that an increase in
salaries has been granted for this
work during the coming year, and
this will no doubt help to get a large
class for the examinations set for
the latter part of January. Highway
superintendents will get from $3.50
to $500 per day, foremen from $4.00
to $500 per day and inspectors from
$4.00 to $500 per day. This is an in
crease of $1.00 per day for all branch
es of work.
Because of the millions which will
be available for road improvement
work during the coming year hun
dreds of these helpers for the work
will be needed and appointments will
probably be made just as soon as the
eligible list can be certified. The
dates of the examination are January
20 and % and January 81 and %
They will be held in Columbus, Cleve-
land, Toledo, Mansfield, Dayton

LEGU|ME HAYS

: That clover and alfalfa hay are
bensficial in rations for winteTin,g
brood sows is the conclusion of " :.
l.. Robson, swine specialist at the
Ohio Experiment Station. When fed
to swine for this purpose, the alfaifs
or clover hay is placed in wooden
racks low down on the ground so that
the animals may secure it easily.
Both clover and alfalfa have givesr
satisfactory results when fed with
corn to brood sows. The hay takes
the place of q part Of the more ex-
pensive grain ration, the common
method being to give the aninrals "a
rather light ration of corn and plenty
of hay and little tankage. If no
hay is fed, somewhat larger amount
of grain will be needed.
Brood sows on corn alone usually
produce pigs of lighter weight and
smaller bones, while those receiving
hay and SOME tankage as a supple
ment to the corn, produce strong
vigorous pigs with plenty of vitality.
One satisfactory ration tried cor
sisted of corn, IA parts, tankage, one
part, and what clover hay the AM
mails cared for.

NEW FARM SELLING PLAN
CALLS FOR SEALED BIDS

A novel plan of selling farms at
auction has just been announced COW
ering the sale on Jan. 18th of the A.
W. Hedquist farm of II 2acres, lG-
Gated seven miles northeast of the
thriving town of Morenci, Mich, and
only a few miles north of the Ohio
line, in Lenawee, the best county in
Southern Michigan.
This farm was originally advertis-
ed to be sold at auction on Dec. 18th,
but owing to the extreme cold and
clustering weather that day it was
found necessary to postpone the sale
and the date of Jan. 18th was fixed
upon. To guard against another
failure on account of weather condi-
tions, Mr.. Hedquist conceived the
idea of selling the farm through the
medium of sealed bids, to be deposit
ed with the First National Bank of
Morenci, either personally or by mail
These bids are to be opened by a
committee of citizens at 10 a. m
Jan. Is and the farm is to go to the
highest bidder, just as it would be
II the lawyers all appeared In
person.
The farm has good soil, is splend.
idly located in an American neigh
borhood, where the residents owr
their own farms, and at prevailing
prices the opportunity for investment
is tempting. Land in northwestern
Ohio is selling as much higher fig
ure, and the price of Southern Mich
igan farm land is practically Ger
tain to come up to the Ohio valua
tion. An invitation to those interest
ed to come and look the Hedquis
farm over is extended.

CONFOUNDING WILSON
WITH AMERICA

Writing Of the horrible stew in the
Levant, William 7. Ellis says:
Theoretically America is out Of all
this. Actually she is deepest in it.
Her entrance into the war and her
proclaimed principles aroused these
various nationalities to n passion for
liberty. America provided the
Egyptians with the platform upon
(which their insurrection stands.
America, as Prince Feisal and Others
assured me, taught Syria to speak
the slogan Of liberty" He then goes
on to say that every one of the
ciamorous little nations from Al
bania 10 Arabia, ais insistent that
America become its mandatory oI
sponsor or suzerain or whatever one
may please TO call il. No one OF
che nations will accept any other
leadership.
The trouble with Ellis and many
others seems to be that he con
founds Wilson with America. II,
confers upon him the attribute which
Wilson himself. like Louis XIV assum
ed, namely I am the State. He ac
cords him the divine right to speal
for the Nation of which he is Presi
dent by reason Of a gigantic hoa,
pa- petrated upon the American peo
ple in 1916-"he kept US out of war.
The turnover Of 1918 by which tn
American people utterly repudiate'
Wilson, he utterly ignores. Tn
American people refuse to assume re
eponsibility for the declarations y
Woodrow Wilson, first because the.
are foreign to our traditions an,
ideals, and second, because they ar
marked by an almost insane incon
s.stency. And they refuse to assum
tho mandatories suggested by MI
Ellis because. for one reason, we hav
quoite enough trouble to attend t
at home.
