INDEX OF MISTAKES IN LIFE

Judge Mccormick of San Francisco
suggests thirteen mistakes of life:
''To attempt to set up your own
standards of right and wrong.
ITO try to measure the enjoyment
of others by your own.
ITO expect uniformity of opinions
in this world.
''To fail to make allowances for
inexperience.
ITO try to mold all dispositions
alike.
mot to yield to unimr ortant tri-
files.
ITO look for perfection in our own
actions.
"To worry ourselves and others
about what cannot be Tenedied.
mot to help everybody, wherever,
however, and whenever we can.
ITO consider anything impossible
that we cannot ourselves perform.

weaknesses of others.

THE WORLDS LARGEST FLOWER

The largest of the flowers of the
world is said to be the rafflesia, a
native of Sumatra, so call after Sir
Stamford Raffles. This immense
flower, it appears, is composed of
five round petals of brickish color,
each measuring a foot across. These
are covered with numerous irregular
yellowish white swellings. The pet
ais surround cup nearly foot wide,
the margin of which bears the
stamens. The cup of the raflesia is
filed with a fleshly disk. the upper
surface of which is covered with pro-
jections like miniature cows horns.
The cup when free from its contents
will hold about 2 pints. The flower
weighs about 10 pounds and is very
thick, the petals being three-quarters
of an inch.-Detroit News.

Yazen Second With Omer Barber
As the Runner.up.

Complete returns in the race for the
Republican nomination for Congress in
the Ninth district show that Judge W..
G. Blair, of West Liberty, won the
nomination, his majority over DR.. W..
s. Yazell Of this city, being but 1893
votes. The total vote of each candidate
follows:
W. G. Blair, 2,461 DR.. W. s. Yazell,
2,262; Omar W. Barber, 2,15O; II. r.
Davis, 1850; H, Clay Mckee, SOS; and
George Osborne, 272.
DR.. Yazell can well afford to be
proud of the splendid race he made
and his entire, vote is splendid COM
pliment to him. Although Mason coun-
ty has always been considered nor
mally Democratic and although the
Mason county Republicans have been
unaccustomed to primary election,
this county gave to DR.. Yazell the larg-
est vote cast by any county among the
nineteen comprising the district. DR..
Yazell, on the official count, led Omar
Barber, his nearest opponent by 112
votes and according to the dope" OF
the politicians before the primary the
race was between the Bath county man
and the Mason county man.
While Judge Blair was considered 9
very formidable candidate by all who
knew his strength in the mountain
section of the district, he was never
considered winner by any Of the
dopesters until the report came in
that Breathitt county gave him a vote
of $40 and this won for him the nom
iration.
DR.. Yazell has asked the Ledger tC

BANK IS SUED FOR
PAYMENT ON CHECK
THAT WAS REFUSED
Check Drawn BY Local Physician Was
Refused at Bank and Holder of
Check Brings Suit For Payment
and Damages.

Walter S. Harkins, Jr., brother-in-
law of DR.. G. w, Howard, local physi-
clan, brought suit in the Mason Circuit
Court this morning against the Farm
ers & Traders Bank asking Judgment
for an amount in a check drawn by
DR.. Howard and refused payment at
the bank together with $3.50 damages
alleged to have been suffered because
of the refusal of payment on the check.
The plaintiff states that on the 18th
of August, 1920, G. L. Howard made
and delivered to him a certain check
drawn upon funds on deposit with the
defendant bank for the sum of $500
and that thereafter on the same day
and during banking hours, the plaintiff
duly presented the check at the coun-
ter of the bank on which the check
was drawn and demanded payment
thereof but the bank failed and refus-
ed and continues to refuse to pay the
check or any part thereof,
The plaintiff further says that at
the time of the execution and delivery
of the check the said G. L. Howard had
on deposit sufficient sum Of money to
pay the check. The plaintiff says that
he is the owner of the money by reason
of the execution and delivery of the
check and that he is entitled to the
immediate possession of the money.
He prays for judgment against the
bank for the sum of $500 with six per
cent. interest from August 10, 1920,
until paid and for $3.50 damages and
for costs and all general and special
relief.

MAYSV|LLE MAY
FURNISH ELECTRICITY
TO TOWN OF RIPLEY
Proposition Is Made By Maysvllle
Power Company To Ripley's Town
Council For Power and
Light.

The following is from the Ripley
Bee:
On last Thursday Mr., H. ]. Cochran,
representing the Maysville Light and
Power Company visited Ripley in COM
pany with Mr.. VIM. Weaver, a consult
ing engineer WHO has had a great deal
of experience in the construction of
light and water plants. The object of
their visit was to confer with members
of the Council and discuss a probable
proposal to be submitted by them with
a view to furnishing electric current
for light and power at Ripley-the
power to be supplied from the plant
at Maysville,
The Maysville company has within
the past two years erected new plant
of large capacity, which, when some
duplicate machinery that has been
contracted for is received, will have
cost the owners Three Hundred and
Ten Thousand Dollars. This is pow
erful and up-to-date plant and is cap
able of taking care of great deal
more than the local consumption at
Maysville, the idea having been in
erecting this plant to be able to oper-
ate 1t as Central Station supplying
other points.
In case contract is made to supply
current for Ripley 1t will be twenty
four hour service daily so that lights
can be used all day and all night If
wanted and persons having vacuum
cleaners, washing machines, cooking
outfits, motors to operate fans and
motors to operate machinery can have
the current for use at any time which
would be great advantage to our citi-
zens and it is hoped that the proposal
to be submitted will be acceptable to
the Council and that contract can be
entered into.
Mr.. Cochran says that il a contract
is made his company will be able to
erect their wires and have the new
lighting system in operation in Ripley
within ninety days. The rate to be
charged has not been fully determined
but the estimate talked of was at a
figure that would permit the village to
buy the current and retail it to the
consumers at a price no higher than
they are now paying and still leave the
village enough profit to pay the Local
expense of handling the light, and put
something into the sinking fund. This
looks like It was the best possible
solution of our lighting troubles, fol
IL this contract can be made it will dC
away with the expense of buying thu
new machinery for our present ligh
plant; will save all the expense o
buying coal for the light plant; will
enable our citizens to have current fo
lights and power whenever they wan
1t, and by the installation Of electric
motors at the pumping station make
possible to pump water for the waite
works system by electricity and there
by save the use Of high priced coal a
that plant.
The talk around town indicates tina
the citizens would approve Of thi
move and hope that satisfactory con
tract can be made by the Council t
introduce the new system.
