DENOUNCES COTTON
 GIN CLOSING MOVE
President of Farmers Union Takes Exception to Action of
 Eavarx.nr naxLae

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 29.---In a statement issued here today President D. E. Lyday of the Texas Farmers union, denounced the recent request of Governor Parker of Louisiana that all cotton gins close for month in order to raise the price of the staple.
 "Such a policy would mean financial ruin for Texas farmers" said Mir. Ly- day. "We still have million and a half bales of cotton to gather while in Louisiana most of the crop has been picked" I understand Texas gins could not afford to close either for their own good or for the good of the farmers"

~ofF DUTY" BUT RATHER BUSY
Chicago Policeman Shot }. Captured ?
 and Routed Dozen Thugs.

Chicago, Oct. 25.--Policeman Thomas F. Cooper was off duty, but he admits he put in his widest night last night when he shot three men, one of whom is dying, captured two others and routed dozen thugs in two expeditions into the notorious battle zone of the Wigwam athletic club and Razen's Colts, two powerful political organizations around the stock yards, neither of which is fam our for it's observance of laws.
 A fourth man. shot down by two of Cooper's victims, is believed to be dying. He is William Mccarthy, 24, a butcher.
 Cooper was passing McDermontt's saloon when he encountered John Ky an, gangster, and two of his pals. Ry- an immediately opened fire upon the policeman, who unlimbered his artil- lery and responded Two of the men were shut but managed to get away. Ryan, however, probably was fatally wounded

PRINCE PAUL TO THRONE!
Former King Constantine May Be
 Forced to Formally Abdicate.


 Forced to Formally Abdicate.
 Athens. Oct. 26.--The throne of Greece. made vacant by the death of King Alexander, will be offered to Prince Paul, third son of former King Constantine. it is officially announced. As condition. King Constantine must formally abdicate and Prince George, another brother of Paul, must renounce his rights.
 1t is probable that King Constantine will at first refuse to meet these com ditions. but it is said Premier Veni- zelos will produce arguments of some importance. Constantine's financial status is we'll known, and it is said that the premier will agree to restore the former kings suppressed pension if the terms are accepted.
 Only in the event of Constantine's persistent refusal would there be any question of the establishment of a re- public, but Premier Yenizelos believes that Greece is not yet ripe for that form of government. There is also a possibility of offering the throne to foreign prince, but the premier is reluctant to take such step.

London Papers Terms His League and
 Irish Views sImuudent

London, Oct. Ex-Governor Cox's promise to bring the cause of Ireland before the "bar of public opinion" was condemned by the Globe today as 'not only impertinent but wicked"
 If he were really, as president. to attempt to carry out his promise 1t could only be done at a cost of fratri- cidal war" the Globe said. If the Americans view that prospect with the same horror as ourselves they had better clap muzzle on Cox.
 We cannot endure meekly Cox's lnlpudence in matter that is Great Britain's own affair."" the editorial said.

RHODA ROYALS BIG CIRCUS
COMING

When the circus comes to town il
creates a powerful lot of excite
ment, as they say down south, and
the aforesaid excitement commences
for the small boy and other little
folks about the time the first car con
tanning the young men who post
works of art upon the bill boards,
arrives. "The circus is coming!" is
the delighted shout OF the small ur-
chin, as he gazes upon the big bills
that announce the date OF the great
canvas entertainment, which is to be
in Barbourville on Wednesday, July
81.
AS time fits on apace. and the cir
Gus day draws near. the enthusiasm
of the small boy is shared by his ell
ders, and when the circus comes his
father and mother and sisters and
cousins and aunts, eleven or seven
of them, will all go Just to take that
small boy to the circus. They may,
however, be excused when il is con-
sidered that the Rhoda Rayal Big
Railroad Show is coming with an ag-
gregation of ring attractions and
great geological collection from the
jungles and forests of five CONT
nents. This is large three ring cir
Gus, monster menagerie, which, by
the way. is entirely distinct and sep
arate from the wild beast show,
which consists of all kinds OF savage
brutes, exhibited In startling per-
formances in a huge steel-barred cir
cular cage, the same as seen in Euro
pean capitals, New York and Chica-
go, at the Atlanta Exhibition. Then
there is real Roman hippodrome,
and world of wonders which space
forbids detailed account OF here.
All IN all the Royal Shows are held
to be the most surprising and pleas
ing unifeati0n Of all that is new and

INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATION

The picnic given by the Modern
Woodmen of America and the Amer
lean Legion last Saturday drew ID
big crowd and was greatly enjoyed.
Owing to the fact that Captain Wal
ter Carr. the aviator for the Jellico
Aero Club, decided against the Fair
Grounds as not Offering a sufficiently
large clear space from which to rise,
the picnic was transferred to ground
on Manchester Street and from this
place Captain Carr made constant
trips, many of our citizens taking
advantage of the chance to get near
er heaven than they ever did before
The cost was ten dollars a fly but
the sport had such a facination that
there was no lack Of flyers.
The unevenness of the ground pre-
vented some of the sports from be-
ing pulled off but the greasy pole
and the creased pig which lacked
starting crank (at least no one could
find it, were in evidence.
The baby show proved interesting
with Messrs. Messamore, Charlie
Cole, and other prominent citizens
acting as pacifiers. These aforesaid
Citizens, either from thoughtlessness
or from ingrained wickedness, tried
to inveigle Barbourville's two most
useful and honored citizens, namely
the Mayor and the Editor, into act
ing as judges. Fortunately they had
the sand to turn a deaf ear to the
Establishments of those who would
have ruined their future usefulness
in the community and they still re-
tain the respect of the ladies. How
ever, our private opinion is that all
the babies deserved the first prize
and we recommend that in the flu
ture as many first prizes as there
are babies be offered. de Mayor
gives his official sanction to this opin
ion.
There was plenty to eat and drink
everyone was good natured and the
deserve praise for max
ing such a success of the affair.

The ideal tread for an automobile
tire is one that can be used with
equally good results on any wheel
either front or back. Given such q
tire a motorist need carry only one
spare. and his car is always evenly
balanced no matter what tire chang
es he makes. But IL one style of
tread is used on the front wheels
and another on the rear, the motor
list will usually carry two spares,
one of each type. Having two types
furnishes further complication when
1t is desired to shift partly worn
tires from the hard-working rear
wheels to the front wheels in order
to get a few thousand more wear
out of them before they go to the
scrap heap. The non-skids used on
the rear may not be suited for front
wheel purposes,
In designing its Royal Cord tire.
the United States Tire Company had
this problem in mind. and developed
a tread design suitable for any wheel
The simplicity of this arrangement
appeals alike to the tire user and
the tire dealer. The user does not
have to bother about special tires
for front or rear wheels, and the
dealer finds 1t unnecessary to carry
so large q stock. United States
