TRACTOR WHICH WALKS

A new type Of tractor that has re-
Gently been developed has series
of legs and walks like a horse. There
are four crankshafts, each having a
set of four legs, giving the tractor
sixteen legs on which it walks. In
addition there are four wheels auto
matically operated by the tractor
engine. so that they can be lowered
to the roadbed, thus converting the
machine into a motor truck. The
feet are shod to conform to the
ground conditions.
1t is said that the tractor may be
used to pillow, seed, cultivate, har-
row, NOW and harvest, rake, furnish
power for other machinery as
tractor and power plant and also
to act as a truck for road work
and heavy hauling.

ENCOURAGING

Twelve boys and girls Of this and
nearby communities and several
from other parts of the county have
left within the past few days to en-
ter the Kentucky State University,
at Lexington. This is and should
be encouraging indeed to those who
have the interest of our states flu
ture at heart. The number in at
tendance is small in comparison with
those who should seek higher educa-
ton, but il is interesting to note
the increase in the number of those
that go each year. Many students
after completing the Common school
course or the high school course
make the fatal mistake of letting the
desire for money lead them to post
pone the time of entering higher
institutions of learning until they
shall have accumulated sufficient
funds. The cases where these re-
enter school are very rare. When
they nave OBTAINED money they de-
sire more or if they fail to sccceed
financially they do not have the
courage to quit and go to school.
The time for a student to enter
high school is Immediately after
completing the common school
course the time for a student to
enter college or university is at
once after graduating from high
school. The future for education
in Kentucky looks brighter than ev-
ersbefore. Boys and girls are begin
ming to realize that it pays to borro
the money with which to attend
school or to work their way through
rather than prOcrastinate and per-
haps never get higher education.

FIRE DAMAGES DWELLING

At about IL a. m, Friday, the
residence Of Judge j. B. Wilson, on
Union street caught fire. Judge
Wilson was not at home at the time
and Mrs. Wilson gave the alarm
which soon brought quite a number
of citizens. The fire was extinguish-
ed but not until it had burned a
considerable hole in the kitchen
rolf and a good hit of the cornice.
The damage is estimated to be
abcut S109. This was covered by
insurance. The fire was evidently
caused by sparks from the fue
lighting on the roof.

iThe speech of Congressman Philip
Campbell delivered at the court
nd use here, Monday must have been
a disappointment to those Republic
CAPS who desired to hear a discus
sidn of the qualifications Of their
candidates for President and Vice
Pbsident and the principles con-
tanned in the platform upon which
they stand. He devoted almost his
entire time to criticism of President
Wilson. We failed to hear him
msntion the name of the Vice Presi-
dental candidate and he did not
devote more than two or three SEN
te2ces to the Senator Harding. And
if,one depended upon this speech
for information regarding the Re-
publican platform he would yet be
ms the dark. However, the gentle
man displayed wisdom in avoiding
discussion Of docment that is not
ed, only for its failure to take a de-
cided stand upon any important is

If the south voted in Republican

southern delegates were for. There
would not be enough OF them. In the
system OF representation now govern

southern carpet baggers have one for
about every 5000 votes; and the south
