The following letter and question
naire are being mailed out to all the
teachers of Maysville and Mason coun-
ty preparatory to the organization of
the Summer Normal:
According to the new laws Of Ken
lucky, teachers must soon have the
equivalent Of High School diploma
and twenty weeks of professional
training. These Summer Normals that
are being established in many of the
larger high schools of the state are
being organized under the authority of
the state department of education and
the State Normals for the direct pur-
pose Of bringing those teachers now
In the service to the above require
ments.
We have agreed on the motto. "All
Of the teachers in Normal School this
summer" OF course those teachers
who are Normal graduates are not in
cluded in this list. The county and
city boards of education have agreed
to furnish free tuition to their teach
ers consequently the teachers who are
not normal school graduates should
have excellent reasons to offer those
boards of Education and the public
why they are not in summer school

already made, that there will he a

Timely Use Of Poison
Controls Garden Pests

Caterpillars are found on practi-
eally an kinds Of garden plans and
usually cause the gardener consid-
cradle trouble as well as loss in the
form of plants destroyed. Some of
these are easily controlled by time
ly use OF poison while othrs, because
of their modes of living, can only
be partially controlled, according to
to H. II. Jewett, from the College of
Agriculture.
The eorn-ear worm attacks a
number of plants in the garden, hut
its principal host, as the name indi-
Gates, is corn. Sweet corn is espe-
'cially subject to attack. Green to-
matoes are also very frequently
eaten into and ruined by this very
worm. The first brood of worms
sometimes attacks the plans in the
crown, when they are a foot or more
tall. Many of these worms can be
picked by hand or the plants can be
sprayed with arsenate of lead. The
greater number of eggs are placed,
however, on the young silks and the
young worms work into the ends of
the ears BY spraying the silks with
arsenate of lead at intervals of three
OF four days, good per cent of
the worms will be killed, but this is
too expensive and laborous process
where more than very small plots are
involved. These worms are best
controlled on tomatoes by picking
off the infested fruits and destroy
ing them.
Cabbage and other cruciferous
crops are especially subject to in
jury from cabbage worms. The white
butterflies, or parents Of these
worms, may sometimes be seen in
great numbers lowering around the
cabbage plants. The plants should

Help the Salvation Army lassies,
put the dough in the doughnuts."
Although the armistice was signed
long ago, no service man, nor the
parents or relatives Of service men
have forgotten what the lassies did
"over there" when the Yanks most
needed care.
The Salvation Army made a name
for itself; it stood the acid test. Now
it is asking for funds that it may
continue standing this test.
While dougtnuts are no longer
necessary to keep up the morale of
our fighters, everything that the
doughnuts stood for during the war
represents the general work of the
Salvation Army here during peace
time.
Through contributing to the Sal
vation Army cause you are assist
ing the lassies and those the lassies
represent, to keep up the good work
of helping "down and out" mankind.
A dollar may not mean much to
you, but it means a great deal to
a broken-dow man or woman, a
hungry or ill-clothed child or poor
invalid in time of dire need.
Do not take the appeal of the Sal
walton Army workers lightly.
Dig down deeply into pour purse
and feel yourself more than repaid
by the smile that enters your heart.
1t took "dough" to make dough-
nuts during the war; it will take
"dough" to keep up the morale of the
needy during peace time.
You have the "dough," the Saliva
ton Army needs it badly. Are you
going to fail the lassies in time of
need, after what they have done for
you and yoursf
Not as long as doughnuts are made

This happened last summer, but IL
is one of those stories that is as
good in cold weather as it is in warm
weather or middling weather.
The observer was going through
Baltimore on a trip farther South
when he remembered that there was
a tiny hole in the big toe of his
Can't Wear En- Out socks. 1t is
embarrassing, you know, when you
are away from home, to discover
that the hosiery manufacturer has
betrayed his trust and allowed your
toes to poke through. So, picking out
haberdasher that had an attrac-
lively arranged window (take note,
Mr.. Window Dresser, if you please), 4,
the observer walked in and asked
for two pair Of hose.
The "man on the job" was the
proprietor himself, and he was one
Of those genial men-not familiar or
"clever," but one whose manner
showed that he took great pleasure
in serving well. They say there are
many of that sort in Baltimore.

server when the merchant had
handed out just the kind Of socks
wanted. Is

looked at your foot before / came
around the counter. Few men know
the size they wear, and so I usually
take look at the foot. You will
find those just right"
"That's a good idea," said the OBJ
server, remembering that once upon
a time he had bought some socks
that cramped his toes. "And, by the
way. I almost forgot that / need
another union suit"
"You will find this nice gar
ment," said the good salesman, as he
spreads out one Of the "just right"
kind. "And now don't you need a
pair of garters!"
"By George, 1 do" said the OBJ
server, and then he said to this
creative salesman: 'Would you mind
telling me why you suggested gar
ters-just the other thing / need?
Why didn't you say-what the sales
man would usually say-Don't you
need something else!' or rattle off
list of things so fast / couldn't
stop to consider anything you saidf"
Said the haberdasher with smile !:
"You bought hosiery, and then you
called for another union suit, re-
marking that you had almost forgot
ten that you needed 1t, and it seemed
to me that the next thing you would
be most likely to need would be a
pair of garters."
What a lesson he laid down. Most
statesmen ask if there isn't "some-
thing else" and Of course the nat
ural impulse is to say "No." Other
salesman rattle off list, as a mat
ter of habit. Besides, the reciting
of a list is a suggestion that the
salesman is anxious to load up the
customer with string of purchases,
and such suggestions are resisted in
stinctly.
The right way is the way the
genial Baltimore haberdasher did it
Ito be keen and to study the needs
or the probable needs of the Gus
toner before you, and to make
thoughtful, definite suggestions. The
customer appreciates such service.
He considers what you say, and he
buys that ether thing that he other
wise might not think of until he got
a block down the street in front of
your competitors store.
