Editors Immune From Suicide

During 1919 there were 5.12l
suicides in this country. Law
yers led all the professions with
forty.three, of whom twelve were
Judges; thirty-six victims were
physicians, twenty. eight teach
ers and eleven clergymen. The
list included twenty presidents
of large business concerns and
fifty prominent club members,
millionaires and wealthy society
women. Unhappy marital rela.
tions were responsible for $50
tragedies.
Men out numbered women 1887
to 1857, but Of the child suicides,
252 were girls and 225 boys.
OF the whole number there was
not one editor. They appear i'm.
mune.

Trestle up to Bridge

The approaches TO the bridge
on the Irvine road two miles
south of this city washed out by
the big tide have been replaced
with much difficulty on account
of so much rain. The De approach
es have been raised about three
feet at both ends. This causes u
great deal of filling on both sides.
The county replaced the ap'
proaches and the citizens are
putting In the extra filling. The
work is being rushed so by the
first of the week it is expected
that the bridge can be crossed by
teams again.

Garter Reynolds has returned
from Carlisle, Ohio, where he
purchased a truck farm Of thir-
teen acres for $4,500. On this
place there is q splendid 10 room
house with furnace heat and wat.
er. Most of the land is now in
alfalfa. 1t has 10 acre tobacco
barn, but tobacco does net bring
the price of central Kentucky to.
bacco on account of the color.
Carlisle is forty miles from CIn-
cinnati, and Mr.. Reynolds place
is one mile from the Dixie high
way. Mr.. Reynolds says it is
much calder there than here.
Rivers are frozen over and ice on
the streets.

Tax Sale

Sheriff VIM. Garrett will con.
duct a sale of land at Stanton
Monday for tax. Buying this
land is good way TO get real es-
tate cheap or make good interest
on money invested. Monday is
also county court day at Stanton
and there is said to be plenty OF
business before the court. Par.
ticularly generations for mis-.
takes in land listed Much of it
has been twice listed, according
to complaints coming to this of.

we know have sold their land two
and three years ago.

Wants Voice Of People

Representative Sherman Rob.
bins has written the Times to as.
certain the wishes of the people
on the question of free text books
for schools. We have sounded
several people and find many of
them for the free books. Per.
sonally the editor opposes them,
but it is quite probable that the
majority Of people desire them
free, and we believe in the ma.
jority ruling.
We commend Representative
Robbins for his Democratic and
referendum methods of govern
ing his vote in the Legislature.
Acting in accordance with the
wishes of majority If his con-
stitueDcy on public matters, is
the highest type of official con.
duct.

Just about daylight Sunday
morning three miles south Of this
city the stock barn of Mrs. Belle
Burgber, widow, burned to the
ground together with eight head
of live stock, lot Of hay, one new
buggy and lot of farming imple'
ments. 1t was with great difficulty
that adjacent crib and another
barn were saved.
When first discovered, the fire
was in the hay 10 the loft at the
ladder which was used to climb
up into the loft. One horse and
six calves were saved, and one
cow was saved by prying off box.
ing from the outside. Live stock
burned were four cows, two hor-
ses, one mule, belonging to Joe
Mckinney and one yearling mule
of Mrs. Burgher's.
How the barn caught fire is a
mystery. 1t was practically a
new structure with galvanized
roof and is very serious and
heavy loss to the widow at this
juncture when the live stock
burned and building material are
so high. No insurance was carried.
We learn the neighbOrs will
endeavor to raise money TO re.
place the stock. This is gener-
our act and should be encouraged
substantially by all persons able
TO spare the help.

Visits Old Home

q. M. Graveti, of Danvrrs, ILL.,, e,
IS visiting his many relatives and
old friends near the city. Mr..
Gravett moved to Illinois twenty
years ago and has made a success
in that state by farming. He
saws that the winter there has
been an unusually dry one. This
is quite a contrast TO the way it
is here.

After the Road Money

Ii seems that 1t is going to be
impossible for Powell to ever get
any roads and defend the suits
against it on account of these
roads. Nothing will do some peo.
pie but to nag aud hamper IN
every way possible, and to squan.
der the money. Ii all who receive
benefits from the roads would
open up and help, instead of tight
en- up and hinder and try to loot
the road fund, We could get some
roads.
In this connection The Times
takes occasion to state that our
observation has all along been
that Judge Daniel and Division
Engineer John s. Dawson have
done all in their power to rush
the road work and save the coun-
ty and state. While we do not
approve, by far, of all the State
Department OF Pubic Roads has
done, we do approve what John
s. Da wson has done in this con.
nec,ion, and We believe he Is in.
strument in saving in many ways.
But, the CRATER is abroad in the
land, aud when you shut off the
graft, he kicks and squalls.

interesting statement Vce-Presdent Marshall his restoration health after he had tried many things.

In conversation with the CINOT expert he remarked-"I was quite interested in g. statement I read written by James B. Morrow in the Boston Sunday Globe of February first, in which the following para graph drew my attention.
 Physically, they seem to be a par, or better. Until 1898, however, with sciatica, dyspepsia and malaria, At torney Marshall at Columbia City, had an up and down experience-on his feet one week and on his back the next. For IS years straight through his weight was about 101 pounds-a few ounces over, or a few less.
 And during all that time, as he told the writer. "I doctored with regulars, specialists, old women and quacks, and then bought a 50-cent bottle of medicine and was cured.'
 It is just the above statement that made me sit up and take notice con- tinued the CINOT expert, as there are so many people in this world who just because they have not gotten we'll have given up and say nothing will do me any good' it is to these people that am today and continual

QUIT MEAT. WHEN KIDNEYS BOTHER Take a glass of Salts if your Back hurts or Bladder
 troubles you.

No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally. says a wen-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kid neys, they become overworked rom the strain, get sluggish and fail to hl- ter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessneSs and urinary disorders como from sluggish kidneys.
 The moment you feel @ dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scaldtng, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of lad Salts from any phar- macy; take 6 tablespoonful in & glass of water before breakfast and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to neutxalize the acids in urine so 1t no logger causes irritation, thus ending bladder weak ness.
 lad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent Whitewater drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.-Adv.

Some Excitement fin Oil Wells.

Competitive drilling plays a great part among wells in @ single vicinity because all oil leases leak at the edges, and whether you get your neighbours oil or he gets yours is largely @ matter of speed Con sequently a we'll in the middle of a large tract is usually let alone by the owner, or, at least. Ihe under takes further drilling with delibera- tion, but if he strikes oil near his boundary he drills his borders with all haste, knowing that his neighbor will "offset" his wells, on the other side of the boundary just as fast as he can get the equipment on the ground.-Ray Morris in the Worlds Work for February.

NO GENERAL EXTENSION FOR
 FILING RETURNS
Complete Statements Must Be in Office By
 March 15.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 9-ColIector of Internal Revenue James J. Walsh stated today that thera will be no general extension of time for filing income tax returns. Complete re- turns, accompanied by at least one fourth of the amount of tax due must be in the hands of Collectors of In- ternal Revenue on or before March 15, 19e0- Extensions will be granted only in specific cases where urgent need for additional time 1H preparing the return Is shown
 Last year, if for good and sufficient reasons it was found innbYssip1e to complete a return by March 15, cor pora.tions and individta15 were per mitted to file on or befoEs. that date a tentative return and w&,d given an extension of forty-five dayS in which to file a, complete return Conditions which justified such extensions last year do not exist this year.
 Regulations governing the co11ec- ton of the income tax have been out for almost year and no substantial changes have been made in them.
 Forms are now in the hands of Collectors of Internal Revenue for distribution among taxpayers and there is every reason to assume that the taxpayers have ample time in
  turns by March 15-
 It is important that the taxpayer render before the return due date q return as complete and final as it is possible for him to prepare. How / ever, in cases of sickness or absence collectors are authorized to grant extension of not exceeding 30 days where, in their judgment, much fur ther time is actually required for the making Of an accurate return The applica ton for such extension must be made prior to the expiration of the period for which the extension is desired The absence or sickness of one or more officers of a corpora- t1on at the time the return is re- Q1ired to be filled will not be ac- cepted as a reasonable cause for failure to file the return within the prescribed time, unless it is sat;sfac- tor17J shown that there were no oth- CT principal officers available and sufficiently informed as to the af- fairs of the corporation to make and verify the return As a condition of granting an extension of time fo, filing a return the collector may re qufre the submission of a tentative return and estimate of the tax or Form 1049-T in the case of individ uaEs, CT on Form 1031-T in the cas- Of corporations and the payment O one-fourth of the estimated amour of tax Where a taxpayer has file; q tentative return and has failed tt file a complete return within tn. period of the extension requested b, him the complete return when fi1et is subject to penalties prescribed fo deIfnquencies
 If before the end of an extensio, of 30 days granted by the collector an accurate return can not be made an appeal for a further extension must be made to the Commissions of Internal Revenue with a full re cftal of the causes for the delay. Tn Commissioner will not grant an ad dftional extension without a clea showing that a complete return ca not be made at the end of the 8 day period
