CIRCUIT COURT GETS
DOWN TO BUSINESS
Burt Wilson Gets Top Penalty
Fer Carrying A Gun-"Cold
Check" Case Dismissed

After recessing over Monday,
county court day, the February
term of circuit court got down to
business Tuesday morning.
Judge Shackelford had his iuries
quickly enpannelled, charged the
grand jury and was at work on
the docket shortly after 10 o'clock
Judge Shackelford doesn't be-
lleve in wasting time, and sets an
example in his methods of ex-
pediting business that is worthy
of emulation in many other cir
cult courts.
The juries are made up as fol-
lows:
Grand jury-Paul Burnam,
foreman, Hugh Mill. erf1on
Leer, John c. I1... -~r-her
Park, Jas. A. IalAs, john ".

Burt Wilson, of near Berea,
who was caught with a gun on
him pleaded guilty to carrying
deadly weapon concealed. His
Attorney f. S. Wiggins, asked
for mercy for his client, but since
"a plea Of guilty carries with it au-
tomatically the highest penalty,
Judge Shackelford gave Wilson
500 and 40 days at hard labor
and disfranchisement for two
years.
The Judge dismissed the case
against J. c. Jones, who is
charged with giving r. L Potts
"cold check" remarking that this
was another of those cases where
under a recent opinion it seemed
that debts could be collected by
criminal prosecutions, and that a
premium was placed on cold
checking" Jones is said to be i'll
Ohio and was not represented be-
fore the court.
Judge Shackelford's charge to
the grand jury covered the
ground thoroughly as usual and
yet was not verbose. He told
them to do their duty in looking
into violation of laws, and told
them concisely. and in plain terms,
and nothing. more was necessary.
There was large gathering
for the opening of court Com
monwealth's Attorney B. A.
Crutcher and several visiting
attorneys were on hand
Tuesday was largely devoted
to the disposal of small criminal
cases.

MULE PRICES MONDAY
BREAK ALL RECORDS


The mule market was certain
ly on the upgrade here, Monday.
Buyers say that they never saw
them SO high and while many
baked for time at the figures
asked, a lot of them took home
with them good sized strings of
the hyrids before they left. The
record price for the da was un-
doubtedly made b. 4. sale Of
five-year-old mare mule by Bald
win & Burke, of Silver Creek.
They sold the brute to Will White
of the Sulphur Well section, on
the Lancaster pike. for $475. If,
there was another single animal
that sold higher Monday the
Daily Register was unable to dis
cover it.
Both of the local stock. yards
had a big run Of cattle with buy
ers swapping up everything that
was offered. There was not
much class to the stuff brought in
though. Sales. ran from $11 a
hundred up. Hogs sold at SIS
hundred. All farmers and buyers
agreed that they never saw mules
sell as high on the local market.

JESSE M. DYKES POST
STARTS BIG DRIVE
Local Legion Organization Mann
ed For Richmond Boy Who
Gave Life For His
Country

Madison Post No. II of the Ameri-
can Legion has started off its drive
for new members with enthusiasm.
Everyone will approve the choice of a
name for local post, it having been
decided to name it the Jesse M. Dykes
Post, in honor Of the son of City Col
lector and Mrs. ]. D. Dykes, who lost
his life in fighting on the French
front a short time before the close of
the war. The Legion members made
diligent inquiry of official sources, and
SO far as it could learn Jesse Dykes
the first native born son of Madison
to give his life for his country in the
fighting on the other side, and it was
regarded as extremely fitting and pro-
per that the Madison county post
should be named in his honor
There are about 115 active, paid-up
members of the Jesse NJ. Dykes Post,
but it is hoped that the membership
can be increased to 300 or 400 during
the three weeks of the drive.
Legion headquarters have been
opened on Second street in the scond
floor in the James building, in the
rooms formerly occupied by Hon.
John holland as a law Office. The
drive will be directed from head
quarters. A call to service men to
help the god work has been issued
and reads as follows:
Join the American Legion. We
stuck together, and whipped the Hun.
Why not join the American Legion
and crush BOlshevism, l. ". W. and
disloyal Reds? 1t is just as essen
tial for Madison county to show her
strength in the American Legion, as
she did III furnishing troops in the
world war. Kentucky was in it up tC
her neck in the trenches. She wants
to get in the American Legion over
her head. In all of the principal
cities of the south and middle west;
in fact, all over the United States,
Rotary Clubs Chambers of Commerce
and Boosters Clubs are recognizing
the potential power of the Legion as
an agent for 100 per cent American
ism, and as a permanent factor in all
future questions concerning the well
fare of the American public, and for
the good of their own cities. They
have passed resolutions, assuring the
commander of their local Posts of the
Legion of their undivided support in
the campaigns for membership, and
in any other objects undertaken by
them.
This is the best possible example
we can have as to the belief of the
American public at large in the
worthiness of the Legion.
Every man wearing the Legion but
ton is just as much your Buddie as he
was while in o. D. and is fellow
with whom you have something in
common, no matter from what walk
of life he comes. There are no bar
riers for the wearer of the badge Of
100 per cent Americanism and no
American who deserves the title, who
will refuse to grant him an interview.
As a maker of friends and getter of
business among American strangers,
the legion button is second to none.
And who wants either the business OF
friendship of other, than 100 per cent
Americans?

FINE COMEDIANS IN
NEW FlAGG FARCE
Fayorites Are Very Well Cast In
"welcome Little Stranger"

Several OF the best known comedians
Of the famous James Montgomery
Flagg staff OF screen players are rep
resented In the latest Paramount
Flagg comedy, "welcome, Little
Stranger" which win be displayed at
the Princess Theatre on Saturday,
March 10.
These are Evelyn Gosnell, Earl Met
calfc and Lucy Fox, all players OF
reputatio and ability. The comedy
is founded in the acute servant prob
lem, recounting the adventures OF a
young, good-looking husband In search
OF cook and who brings home In
place of the conventional female black
smith a very pretty young woman who
is forced by circumstances to seek a
position as servant.
II is to be expected that this situa-
ton Is provocative of numerous conf
cal scenes, all OF which are well
handled by Mr.. Flagg, under whose
supervision the comedy was made
The titles are witty and assist the ac-
ton materially.

athletic sports, such as indoor base
ball. basketball, etc. This man was
observed to stand modify by himself
upon being urged TO join in the sports
he exclaimed: II don't know how 10
play. I've never played In my life.
/ can chop down n tree, but l can't
play" He did learn to play, how
ever. A great many OF our soldiers
of 1918 not only learned to play, they
learned to wash their teeth and to
conform to other elementary rules Of
personal cleanliness and department
that had hitherto been neglected or
unheard Of, in their lives. The func-
ton of moral development, OF building
up Of character and self-respect, is the
one, however, which, While OF great
Importance, is least understood and
appreciated by the public. We are
fairly familiar by now with the word
morale" as applied to armies, and
also nations The morale OF the allied
armies was at low pitch In June,
1918. 1t was given a mighty boost by
the conduct of the American forces at
Chateau Thierry. General Ludendorf
ascribes the German defeat TO the de-
cline in the morale OF the German
home population, the effects being felt
at once throughout the army.
In our Army we are paying special
attention 10 morale and 10 individual
character building. The soldier must
keep himself and his surroundings
neat and orderly; all women and most
men understand the influence on ones
self of the clothes one wears. The
soldiers learn attention TO duty, one OF
the most important elements OF char
acter. Responsibility is placed upon
his shoulders; this develops the quail
ties OF leadership and lfrespect
Through his studies and contact with
minds from all parts Of tho country
he is constantly growing in mental
stature. He realizes that ne is n part
of a great public service institution
which exists for the prote ton Of hii
go, eminent and people, while 1t Is ais'
school OF development for the mel
who compose It. He is probably learn
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1920-03-09

ing trade he intends to follow after
his discharge.
In the building up Of the personal
pride and self-respect Of the soldier
the public is called upon to assist. In
the past the uniform has not been
generally looked mp to- The great war
has taught us to respect II, and we
must not forget that. Let us look
down on nobody. The principal cause
OF the social unrest today is not eco
nomic but is simply mans unkindness
TO man. The poor do not appreciate
condescending charity. The wage
worker, at heart, does not desire an
increased wage so much as recognition
that he is a fellow human being.
The new Army is on the level. IL
aims TO fulfill its new self-imposed
duties. It's purpose is 10 make itself
real public service institution.
In this aim II needs the sympathy
and cooperation OF the public. Wher-
ever the individual soldier comes into
contact with civilians he should be
, regarded as an Indispensable factor
Of government, and as a well meaning
fellow being who has probably Joined
the army for purposes Of self-improve-
ment. Expect good things Of him, be
friendly with him; he Is tie most re-
spcnsive human being IN the world.
The recruiting service just now Is
prominently before the public. 1t Is
Engaged in obtaining men for the
army. But this Is only one Of its du-
ties. We are bringing home, to the
people the facts as TO the new Army,
We are making a bid for popular ap-
proval. support and cooperation. and
base our expectation OF complete sue
cess upon the fact that our Army, your
Army, is thoroughly deserving Of II.
