We have been told that America is to

from dissolution but We must do il

Us. in a little more than a century
the most unified. the most virile ana
the most potent single power in the

what it is that has given us this unity,

nation upon principles of law, and
upon the guarantees Of individual
rights under the law That is our
great contribution to civilization; and
if we are to be of use to other nations
old or new, our first thought must be
to remain our own masters, to pre-

NOT ALL INDULGE IN KISS
Many People Know Nothing of oseu,

Form of Greeting.

The kiss, which appears constantly

and In Heroditus' description of the
Persians of his time kissing one an
other, and which Is still prevailing
even among men in France and the
Slavic countries, relates a writer in
the Louisville Courier-J Journal, seems
to be unknown over the entire world,
where the prevailing salute is that of
snuff1ng or smelling which belongs to
the Polynesians, Malays, Burmese and
other Chinese, Mongols, etc, extending
thence eastward to the Eskimo and
westward to Lapland, where Lynnaeus
saw relatives saluting by putting their
noses together.
Among the manners and customs OF
the French allies in France, which
most American soldiers lover there"
saw for the first time, nothing prob.
ably seemed stranger to them than the
practice of kissing among men.
AS for the custom of kissing men on
both cheeks. that has come down from
the days when young French noble
men, about to be knighted for some
valiant deed, spent "a hours in soli-
fude and prayer and then came forth

TURKISH MOSQUE ON WHEELS
Enabled Pilgrims to Mecca to Conduct
Their Devotions While on Way
to Holy City.

The chapel railway coaches, with
seating accommodation for 90 now
fitted to certain long distance ex-
presses in America, are not entirely
a novelty.
A mosque car" used to be run on
the railway built Is years ago be-
tween Damascus and Mecca the cap
ital being subscribed mainly by pious
Mussulmans. All the rest of the roll
Ing stock was obtained from countries
outside Turkey, but the mosque car
was built in Constantlnople.
1t was externally distinguished by
minaret about eight feet high pro-
jecting from the roof; the walls were
inscribed with verses of the Koran,
and at one end a large compass was
hung, indicating the direction of the
holy city.
Pilgrims to Mecca were thus able to
conduct their devotions with full pomp
and ceremony during the three days
journey from Damascus-London Tit

WHY WRITE DULL LETTERS?
Correspondence May Be Made Interest
ing if Little Thought Is
Given to It

Most people think before they SPEAK.
but only a few think before they write.
| have friend says a writer in Lon
don Answers, and she is a girl who al
ways keeps her friends; partly, l am
sure. because, however far away they
are, it is never too much trouble to
write them long and interesting lot
ters. Thus though miles may stretch
between them, she can always keep
her friends very near to her in thought
She does not dash off anything that
comes into her head; she always con
siders her friends point of view. If
the particular friend she is writing to-
Is fond of sport she writes of it; FOND
of books, then the latest books are dis
cussed; If music is a favorite, then
music finds place in her letter And
always through them all there runs a
little vein of humor.
So many people suffer from lack of
tact. For instance, some time ago,
when my mother was about to undergo
very serious operation, it became
necessary to censor her correspond
ence-for the simple reason that some
of it was too depressing for words
One very well-meaning old lady
wrote saying how sorry she was to hear
of my mothers great misfortune and
how it often happened that very ac-
tive women ended their days as bed
ridden invalids! And how she once
knew of q lady who caught cold after
q similar operation and contracted
some awful kind of incurable tits"
One always considers people in con
ve:sation. Then why not in letter
writing? One does not talk religion
before an atheist, nor let the CONVEX
satio0 verge on the frivolous before
cura5e.
Letters require just as much thought

VIOLENT LOVERS OF WOMEN
Writer implies That Fierce Wooers

mirer of hers who had fallen into the
habit Of springing at her from door

that If he could not have her, no one
else should.
Women say they do not like tha,
kind of lover. But is the fair sex quite
to be trusted when they make this
statement?

of his choice, "Wilt thou be miner

Did the savage maiden enjoy this

her husband was not so savage as he
appeared at first sight, and grew rec

She had, undoubtedly, certain
fierceness of her own. And probably
there were henpecked husbands even
in those days.

indians Still Use Blow Gun,

The blow gun Is still popular for
hunting birds among the KOasati In
dams in Louisiana. This weapon con-
sists of tube, usually of cane, about
six feet long, rubbed smooth On the in
side with an implement made for the
purpose and carefully Strengthened
with the aid Of fire. Slender pointed
darts about eight inches long are used
as ammunition, each one wrapped
neatly along third Of its length with
thistledown or cotton to make it fit
the inside of the tube. The hunter
places a dart In the tube, which he
raises to his lips and with which he
takes careful aim at hts game; then
with quick puff of breath he drives
the little dart flying with sufficient
force to impale and kill small bird
or squirrel.

Giant Warrior of Middle Ages.

The pride and magnifcence that
played their part in the days of chiy-

tration than the suit of equestrian
armor which has recently been placed
OF exhibition in the Metropolitan Mu-

Jacques Gourdon de Genouilhac wore
the suit in the sixteenth century, and
Sieur Jacques was an uncommonly
large and powerful warrior, who serve

GOVERNMENT STATISTICS ON
KENTUCKY TOBACCO SALES

CINCINNATI, March 25.-The
following are the actual facts about
the Kentucky sales of 1919 tobacco
up to the first of March, 1920, ac-
cording to statistics compiled from
official Government reports.
KY. 1919 crop, all types, ---------
Ado, 5OO,OUU
Burley, bs-----226,293 ,914
One-sucker, lbs. 2O,275, 345
Unfired dark, lbs 15,962,83
Fired dark, lbs 2O,363, 81 8
Green River, lbs---- 22,696, 100
Total bs-----3O5, 591 ,899
Balance unsold, lbs---150, 9O8, 1O1
Total value of tob. sold $93,989,99O
From the above figures it appears
that 81 per cent. of the 1919. crop of
tobacco in Kentucky has been sold
at an average of $3O.75 per 100 lbs.
up to March 1, 1920.
Burley Statistics.
In the great Burley belt of Ken
lucky the following statistics have
been gathered:
Estimated hurley production
1919 Government fig
urges), lbs----262, 92O, 900
For growers, lbs 1913, 213, 026
For dealers, lbs-- 1888, 500
Resales, lbs- 13,697,268
Total, bs-------226, $685. 14
Unsold hurley, lbs 36,628,03
Total value of tob. SOLIDS 81, 715, 200
Total value of sales for
orouyorc 11A711O 80
From the above figures it would
appear that rs per cent. of the 1919
crop of hurley had been sold by
growers at first hand up to March 1,
at an average price of $3.50 per
100 pounds. The entire hurley sales
including those for dealers and the
resales, the two later of course en-
tering into the speculative feature of
the market, netted 1851 per 100
pounds. 1t is therefore evident that
the speculator has averaged higher
prices than the grower.
The following tabulated statistics
throw considerable light on the actu-
al trend of market prices i'm Ken
lucky during the time the bulk of the
1920 and 1918 crops were marketed
but whatever fluctuations are shown
from month to month, it must be
considered that after all it is the av-
erage for the entire season which
proves whether or not a crop has
made money for its producer.
