MAKE MONEY BY SAVING
SEED POTATOES

Every year there are many farm
ers In the State OF Kentucky who
will go in the market and buy high
priced seed potatoes. They claim
that their potatoes have run out and
IL is necessary for them to 60 and
buy new seed. This may or may not
be true but IL is a known fact that
farmers who select their own seed
potatoes will, in a few years, have a
better strain OF potatoes. especially
adapted to their own soil conditions,
than II is possible for them to buy
in the open market. A few simple
reles in making these selections will
help improve the quality and quaint
ity Of potatoes.
In the first place, good hills that
have a large number of medium to
large size tubers should be selected
and placed In separate boxes at dig
ging time. This is the only time
that il is possible to save good seed.
IL you wait until after the potatoes
are all dug and placed in a large
pile and then expect to select your
seed the chances are that you will
select medium to large tubers and,
in all probability, these tubers will
come from hills where there we're
only one or two medium to large
sized potatoes in the hill, the rest
being too small to use. Since we
know that potatoes breed more or
less true il is very evident that in
saving seed 1t is important to save
the tubers that come from hills in
which most OF them are medium to
large with a small number OF small
potatoes in each hill. This is al
ways preferable to selecting the one
or two medium sized tubers from
hills where all the rest Of the pota-
toes are small.
II a small quantity OF seed can be
saved by this method this year and
planted in separate rows next year
It will be found that in three or four
years it will be possible to breed up
potatoes so that they will yield from
SO 1-3 to SO per cent better than
when the seed is selected at random.

A NASTY SPILL

"a mule is but a mule" which
means that he has a great amount
of cussedness wrapped up in that
compact machine we call the Ken
lucky nightingale. On Sunday 5.
ID. Shelton and James Blair drove
out in company with a mule. The
aforesaid mule was being driven but
not Ovcr-driven by James Blair.
Then Ca auto passed and the mule
did not care for the smell. Shelton
did not hear the mule make the re-
mark, but he is ready to swear that
the mule remembered that in his
ancestry there was nothing like that
and he started to run away. james
Blair spoke softly and soothingly to
him in language adapted to the oc-
casion, but the mule was annoyed.
Blair then jumped and so did Shell
ton, but the latter fell on his face
and the buggy went over him. He
is not a fellow to make much fuss,
but he says the ground sure burnt
him up. Fortunately, his eye was not
injured, tho it easily might have
been badly hurt as the lid was LAGER
ated as well as most of one side of
his face. Personally, We don't want
to ride, drive or be friends with a
mule at all. One has to study its
characteristics from childhood to ap
probate its noble qualities, if it has

UNION COLLEGE NOTES

The U. c. family enjoyed a social
Saturday night in the U. c. Gym
given by Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Trosper
The College Band furnished music
which was very fine. Different
games were played, such as basket
ball, volly ball, and two OF the stout
est men, Mr.. Robert Lee and Mr..
James Mayhem, gave us an exciting
wrestling bout. Neither was able
to throw the other. We also had a
grand march in which nearly every
one took part.
Several of the students spent the
week end with their parents at their
various homes. The others that can
not go home for the week end miss
those who do go. But we know how
much people really do enjoy being
in their own homes so We don't
have anything to say except Hope
you had a nice time"
The Junior Academy Glass can al
ways give itself good time on short
notice Last Saturday as a diversion
from the weeks work, we hiked to
Long Hill. Among our number were
Miss Weeks, Miss Carter and Miss
Heger. On our way we stopped to
visit stiroff and some OF us burned
our fingers and mouths with the hot
syrup. On the rocks by the river we
built a camp fire and feasted on ba-
con, weinies, buns and cakes. In the
early dusk we tramped home happy
In the good time we we're Just leav-

The recital OF Miss Heger Monday
evening was greatly enjoyed by both
the students and the visitors from
town who graced the occasion. Miss
Heger gave us a rare musical treat
and those who missed it have a very
definite cause for regret.
We were very sorry indeed that
any one should have been SO rude
as to disturb both the audience and
the singer last evening. We want
you to come to our entertainments
IL you are interested; if you are not
interested, please stay away. Per-
hsps this sounds harsh but it is in
accord with the laws Of good breed
ing and seems necessary IL those who
do appreciate our entertainments are
to enjoy them in peace.

INTERESTING TO TAX

The following, taken from the
Louisville Post, dated Frankfort,
October 18th states that Judge +.
ID. Sampson has ruled that the Hop
kinsville school district may not
raise its graded school tax from use
to $1.25. same being Illegal, as in
conflict with Section 81 of the Con-
stitution.
AS our taxes are now being col
lected for schools at higher rate
It is evident that under this ruling
the action may lead to "a refund.

GOOD ROADS

First Prize at the County
School Fair

A road Is an artificial avenue of
travel formed thru a country for the
accommodation of travellers and the
caffiage of commodities.
Good roads by diminishing the
cost of the carriage put the remote
parts OF the country more nearly up
on a level with those in the neigh
.borhood of the town. They are up
son that account the greatest OF all
Improvements.
Good roads are advantageous to
commerce they cause better trade to
be carried on and open new COM
mercial relations WITH other places
Good roads Help agriculture. They
cause larger crops because they can
be gotten to the right place and open
new markets for the surplus produce
Good roads stimulate commerce
because the farmers think they can
AFFORD to raise larger crops and
therefore have more surplus so of
course more comes to the market.
Good roads foster education.
With good roads the children can
go to school quickly so the parents
think they can afford to send them
to school as they can get there easily
and quickly
Good roads promote health.

very useful! The doctor can't get
over bad roads very fast. Many
people have died for lack of first aid

II the doctor could have gotten to
them quickly enough.
Good roads help to develop NOR

People might live and die without
ever knowing that there is some one

miles beyond and they wouldn't

roads would help.
Good roads promote contentment

 On the top of these sheds. or con tinuous shed, he would have a highway which would be much easier grade than the road now used over the mountains. as It would be of the railroad grade The warmth from the snowsheds. he says. would prevent rain and snow from freezing on the sheds and would keep them clear most of the year

COLE AERO-E|GHT
 SETSNEW RECORD TourSter Goes From Portland to Frisco In Less Than
 Train Time

Over S52 miles of roads of every variety and grade. Cole Aero Eight tcurster owned and driven by C. R. Chapman of San Francisco. set a new record for the Portland Ore. to San Francisco route a few days ago
 The Cole made the run from Port land to San Francisco in S1 hours and 3b minutes, seven and half hours faster than the best previous running time. Even the fast limited trains oe- tween the two cities require B hours, so that Mir. Chapman and his Cole low cred the train record by an hour and a half.
 Proof of the consistent pace set by the Aero Eight is found in the fact that the previous record was made on the direct route of the Pacific highway. Mir Chapman, however. found various sections of this highway closed for re- pairs and was compelled to make de- tours which added 107 miles to the dis tance run.
 Accompanying Mir. Chapman on tae record breaking run were D. J. Coma ut and Paul J. Feelev.
 ALREADY DRIVEN 5000
 The Aero Eight used for the tour had already been driven more than 6,003 rifles. There was no special prepara- ticn for the trip. Not even the spark piugs were cleaned. Large auxiliary gasoline and oil tanks were carried to insure a constant supply of fuel and Gil
 The party made the up-trip to Port lend in A hours under easy touring conditions. Chapman's object being to map out the way carefully for the rec ord-breaking return trip.
 In Portland, after more than 800 miles with 400 miles over roads total ly unfit, few minor adjustments were
