can be found the name of Lu
clan B.. Hurt, who is candidate
for County Judge of Adair coun-
ty, subject to the action of the
Republican party. Mr.. Hurt is
one of the best known men in
the county, and he will begin
his canvass the first of July. He
has served this county, many
years ago, as County Clerk,
making splendid officer. He
has also been the Master Com
missioner Of the Adair Circuit
court. His fidelity to the Re-
publican party can not be called
In question, as he has been ac-
tive in all the canvasses since he
was a voter. He wants his
Adair county friends to become
active. promising that should he
be nominated and elected to
make faithful officer. He pub
fishes card elsewhere in this
issue of the News, and later he
will personally present his
claims. He is a good mixer. and
doubtless his friends will be
glad to see him moving over the
county.

The Knights Templar, of this
place, and a number Of Royal
Arch Masons would be pleased
if a commandry was organized in
Campbellsville. g, Those here who
have taken the degrees belong at
Lebanon. but that Commandry is
too, far from Columbia for the
members to attend Quite a
number of Royal Arch Masons,
who reside in this place, would
be glad to become Knights Tenn
plsr if a Commandry was nearer.
Campbellsville has a Masonic
hall built with the view of or
ganizing a Commandry, and the
Masons of Columbia, who are ell.
igible to take the higher degrees,
would be glad if our neighboring
town would secure a dispense
ton and start the work. A char
ter could be secured at the next
meeting of the Grand Comman-
dry. Of course it would cost a
considerable sum for the outfit,
but the field from which the
Commandry would draw. would
soon pile up good large bank
account. A Commandry at
Campbellsville would certainly
be well patronized by petitions
from Adair and Green counties,
and doubtless many Masons in
Taylor county would knock for
admission. We would be glad to
see an article in The News Jour-
nal on this subject,

MISHEL PIASTRo AT THE JEFFERSON TONIGHT.

Musical circles, which is meant to include all lovers of music as well as artists. are delighted at the appear ance here of Mishel Piastro, the vic- linist, at the Jefferson theatre. The famous Russian will be presented by the Music Study club at S:15 this evening.
 Mshel Piastro has probably had one of the. most brilliant careers on the concert stage of today, and one of the widest scope.
 During the years of 1914-19 he made a tour of the orient and the far east. where he gave more than 400 concerts His successes through out these strange lands can best be judged by his press notices. He played before European audiences and native princes in all sorts of climes and under all sorts of con ditions, conditions seldom experienced by concert artists.
 He made his American debut on October 8, 1920, in Carnegie hall, New York city. and immediately gained the recognition of the critical press as one of the master violinists of our generation. In this hall, before n large and fashionable audience Pias- tro strengthened the earlier impress sion and won host of new ad- mirerS

PAULINE FREDERICK IN
 DRAMA AT FIVE POINTS

What is the Best in Iife2" Is it fame, wealth, the pursuit of empty ideals? Is it the stuff that dreams are made of?
 These questions are answered in Pauline Frederick's latest Robertson Cole super special picture. "The Mis- tress of Shenstone.n adapted from the novel by Henry King. Following closely the book, the film version of this remarkable story through many dramatic climaxes brings to a woman a realization of what is the Best in Life" The new photoplay is today's attraction at the Five Points theatre
 Pauline Frederick is seen as Lady Myra Ingleby, cultured English woman, married to man many years her senior Although she received at his hands the kind. courteous treat ment a gentleman would naturally accord his wife, the spirit of true companionship. the need of one for the other is lacking. Surrounded by friends the mistress of a beautiful estate, an idol of society, Lady Ingle- by is yet as lonely as though she were on a desert isle far from eivili- Zation.

1.-THE OLD NEsTS \
 GREAT DRAMA-RIALTO

Going on the idea that first im- pressions are correct, the writer will not venture on new review of The Old Nest" now at the Rialto, and at the Triapon last week, but will insert here in part the review of last week:
 Tn The old Nest Rupert Hughes displays all of his wonderful. power over human emotions He has taken a succession of simple episodes in the life of mother and her children and written story of very stirring appeal perhaps the best mother-lovc story to come to the screen.
 eThe story of The Old Nest is taken up when the family is all liv- ing together, fondly watched over by an adoring mother like group of little birdies in a nest. Then the years pass. All that is needed to bring sorrow, loss, suffering into mothers life is years.
 "rhe years pass and the-old nest is deserted and forsaken by the chil- dren one at a time until, like lone ly captain and his mate, alone on their ship without cargo. crew or destinations the old couple remain, It is their story. then, that makes a great part of the appeal of the drama"

BeSsemer to Meet the Sidney Lanier
 Poets on Friday

The Bessemer Tigers will have an- other tough scrap on their hands Fri day afternoon, when they tie up with one of the strongest teams in the state at the Rolling Mill field. This team is the Sidney Lanier Poets. who have not been defeated or held to a tie this year by any prep team, and are making a strong bid for the state Championship. The Lsnier outfit this year is one of the strongest teams that ever went out to uphold the Poets reputation, and the Tigers are looking for a powerful scrap when they meet the boys from the Capital city.
 Among the Sidney Lanier victims IS the Grove HiIl High team, which did not lose game last year or this until the meeting with the Poets. The Grove Hill team was recognized as the champion of south Alabama and was regarded as a strong contender for the state championship this year until they had a "run-in' with the Lanier aggregation.
 Despite the highly touted ability of the Lanier team, the Tigers are not yet weak in the knees, f6r they believe that, even though they have lost one game and have been held to two ties. they have good team and stand chance of handing the Montgomery gridders a nice wallop- ing The Bessemer team is working hard for this game, and every man on to team is making a big effort 10 correct faults in teamwork and individual work that caused their downfall in the Central game last Saturday.
 Regardless of the fact that they lost to the Grimsous, the Bessemer team played a good game, and they should furnish the Poets more than enough competition In the event the Sidney Lanier team should win they will probably meet Walker coun- ty in a post-season battle at Rick wood 10 decide the state champion ship, the Jasper boys being the only ones able to dispute the Lanier claims, if the Poets win Friday.

JEFFERSON MAY JOIN
 MOBILE COUNTY IN
 TESTING TICK LAW

The Jefferson county board of rev. enue will probably join with the board of Mobile county in testing the state law requiring large appropria- tions yearly for tick eradica ton ac- cording to members of the local board.
 During the past five years it is es- timated that approximately $420,000 has been expended for the eradication of the tick in Jefferson county and Thomas l.. Huey member of the local board stated he was perfectly willing to test the law in the courts and had made such a suggestion to the other members of the board but up to the preseut time no definite decision has been reached.
 q have no argument to make against tick eradication work" he said but I am particularly inter ested in ascertaining If boards of revenue have any discretion as to how much money shall be appropriated. Jefferson county has spent $230 day for the past five years for the erad ication of the tick against SIP for treatment and eradication of tuber- culosis in human beings.
 q would like to see the law tested and ascertain whether or not 1t is compulsory for the county board of revenue to make this large appro- priation for this work"
 It IS pointed out that although this large sum has been expended by Jef- ferson county Shelby county has de- clined to make an appropriation for the work and that tick infected cattle from that county have come into Jeff ferson county. This. it is stated. has made it necessary toNappoint guards for the county line to keep cattle from that county from coming into this county.
 It is expected that this mattez will be brought to the attention of the board at its meeting Friday.
