A resolution has been introduced in
the house by Rep. Frick. Of Detroit.
to set April II a. the date OF business
adsoGrnment of this session, with nnal
adjournment May 8. General opinion
Is that unless many matters now In
committee are dropped entirely the
latter date will be about the earliest
on which business adjournment Can
be taken.
Leading all topics OF conversation
In the legislative halls since the open
ing Of the session Of 1921 has been the
proposal OF Rep. Hart. Of Detroit, to
establish the death penalty for mur
der. For few days It was though,
that adverse sentiment expressed at
public hearings had effectually stop
ped the measure for the season, but
then along came the house committee
that had the bill In charge and decid-
.ed>to report II out to the floor of, the
house.
The measure came out OF commit
tee without recommendation, but II
was out. "The house will kill It In a
hurry. Why should we hold It back?"
was the gist Of statements by commit
tee members. But theiy report started
all over again the whole argument as
TO life imprisonment or the death pen
atty for the crime Of murder. The re-
suit still is to be recorded.

Cover Crops Prevent
Loss of Plant Foods

The chief fertilizer elements, in
cluding potassium, PHOSPHORUS and
nitrogen in the plowed surface Of an
acre OF average Kentucky soil is
worth from $4,000 to $4,000 at mar
'ket price, according to r. r. Steven
son, soils extension specialist of the
College of Agriculture who declares
that large amount of this fertility
is lost by teaching during winter
months unless the soil is protected
by cover crop.
"The soil is a storage house for
raw materials which have a COM
mercial value for increasing crop
yields. However, the farmer can
market this fertility only in the
crops he grows or in the animals
and animal products which he sells.
Sometimes to produce larger yields
it is necessary to apply additional
fertilizer since crops cannot always
obtain enough of the plant food in
the soil to make large yields.
'Nature has provided that only a.
limited amount of fertility can be-
come available at any one time. Any
moist soil has come Of the elements
of fertility dissolved in the soil sur
face. 1t is this dissolved fertility
that is plant food. At all seasons Of
the year there is some plant food in
solution. In summer the crops and
weeds use the soluble plant food and
psevent its teaching. In late sum-
mer and fall after the regular crops
have ceased growing this soluble
plant food in the soil will be lost by
teaching if some crop is not grown
to use it. The same is true in the
spring before the regular crops arc
planted.
"In the winter season there is
more rainfall and less evaporation
from the soil sorface. This means
that more water and fertility teaches
down through the soil and is carried
away into the streams and rivers. A
winter cover crop prevents large
part of this loss. The live roots pick
up the soluble plant food to keep up
the growth of the plant In this way
the available plant food is kept up
the soil where it will help in grow
ing future crops. The farmer then
will be able to produce larger yields
and will have to buy less fertilizer
because he has saved plant food
through the use of a cover crop"

men are colored. AT the examining
trial held before Judge Senff Tues

June Dance

The annual June dance, given at
Trimble's Hall Tuesday night, was
one of the most enjoyable social af-
fairs of the summer. In spite of the
intense heat the hall was made cool
and comfortable with electric fans,
and dancing was indulged in until a
late hour. Wright's orchestra fur
nished excellent music for the oc-
casion and many visitors from sur
rounding towns were in attendance.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-06-30

AS the struggle for the lead in the
Advocates big prize campaign con-
tinues, and as public interest, en-
thusiasm and earnest support of the
candidates come to the front, there
is considerable speculation heard on
all sides as to the candidates that
seem to have the best chance on the
big prizes.
But so far as the probable win
ners are concerned, that is merely
guess work, for while almost every
one has some favorite in the race,
no one can tell who will win. The
race seems to be quite close at pres
ent and no one can possibly tell
which candidates will do the best
work during the remainder Of the
big race. That all depends on the ef-
forts of the contestants themselves
and on the support given them by
their friends.
Many of our subscribers have al
ready sent in their renewals and
voted for some favorite candidte.
Others who are not personally ac-
quainted with any of the candidates
are voting for some candidate in
their neighborhood, or are waiting
to see which candidates show signs
of being probable winners, before
casting their votes.
Now that the race is on the home
stretch-iust when everyone is
workno hard to pass her greatest
ccmnetitor. there is liable to be an
epidemic strike some of the candi-
dates. There is a sort of germ or
microbe of some kind that gets into
some peoples systems and makes
them feel blue and, discouraged and
pessimistic. That microbe is a nigh
ty dangerous bug and the only way
to keep that bug from losing You a
big prize is TO feed the said bug a
LARGE amount of real energy. Hustle
and energy are sure cures for this
disease.
Some contestants become discour-
aged when a competitor casts a big
vote with that object in view. Then
sometimes forgetful for the moment
Of the pleasure Of that magnificent
prize, a candidate will stop by the
wayside TO bemoan her fate. The
result is that those who possess more
hustle and ambition and energy, go
around her while she is thinking il

Arrest Draft Evaders

Chief of Police Upton arrested
William Samuels, colored, in this
county last Friday on orders from
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind, charg-
ed with evading the draft law. The
negro boy had registered but claims
that he received no notice to appear
for examination. Chief Upton took
the boy to Fort Thomas Monday and
turned him over to the military au-
thorities.
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1921-06-30

If there is any error in the count
of any contestants votes up to the
present date, it must be called to
the attention Of the campaign man
ager before 10 A. NJ, next Tuesday.
Otherwise the standings as publish
ed today must be accepted as corr

Contestants whose standings are
below the 100000 vote mark should
send in more votes for publication
before next Tuesday. While it is a
good idea to hold back the vote bal
lots that you receive on subscrip-
tions, it is also a wise idea to send
in enough votes for publication from
time TO time to keep your standing up

: c. Of c. Meeting
A Huge Success

The third quarterly meeting of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Mt. Ster-
ling and Montgomery County was
held at the Tabb Theatre Tuesday
night. This was the first meeting at
which ladies had been invited, and
altogether there were about 225 pres
I ent. During the evening delightful
muscle was furnished by an orches-
ira composed of Miss Shirley, pian-
list; Mr.. Bogie, drummer; Mr.. Thomp-
sson, saxophone; Mr.. Myers, manic;
Mr.. Strother, violin. When the
guests entered they proceeded to the
stage, where an elegant buffet
luncheon was served, after which
they went to their seats and enjoyed
the repast which was served by the
Delicious Cafe. Following the Seats"
a talk was made by President Hoff-
man in which he told Of the achieve
ments of the Chamber Of Commerce
during the past year. Following Mr..
Hoffman the audience was delighted
with vocal selections by Mr. Louie
Utz. The community singing was
led by Messrs. Joe Keller, G. T. Haz-
elrigg and G. B. Senff. Next on the
program was solo by Mrs. Paul
\Strother, accompanied by her hus-
hand on the violin, which elected
much applause. Following was a
two-reel comedy, Fatty Arbuckle in
"Back Stage" which was quite
amusing and brought forth many a
hearty laugh. The William Tell stunt
in which an apple was shot from the
head of the "son" was participated
in by S. S. Pinney, Sid Calk, DIR.
McKenna and Jesse Hainline. After
this performance g. B. Senff sang
S'I Never Knew I Could Love Any
. body Like 1 Am Loving You" Fol-
lowing Mr.. Senff's song the big
Dempsey Carpenter prize fight was
staged with Rev. R. C. Goldsmith and
w. C. Clay playing the leading roles.
Rubbers and bottle holders were Joe
Conner, John Walsh, Percy Bryan
and r. L. Vanarsdell, while Bill
Burns acted as referee. The an
nouncements were fittingly made by
c. B. Patterson, who acted as time
keeper. This was probably the most
interesting number on the program
and brought forth much applause
from the audience. The stage was
properly roped off and the scene
presented likened unto the REAL
THING. After several hotlv contest
ed rounds in which a number of
singing blows were passed, the fight
was declared a draw.
This meeting was the last one
under the present officials, and was
biphlv enioved by all present.
