An Evansville girl with movie star
aspirations was giving exhibitions
of her bodily beauty to number OF
young boys in a barn, near Fordsyille
a few nights ago, when Censor Wal
ter Burden dropped in on the per-
Torrance and arrested the entire au-
dience. Burton said he could toler-
ate fig leaves but no exhibitions in
the nude could be pulled off in the
barns around Fordsville while he
held the position of Official censor.
The offenders were brought before
Squire Ben Rice's court and a num-
Der of them were let Off with fines,
but orien Wade's offense was con-
sidered more serious by the Justice,

COUNTY CROP CONDITIONS
MAKE LATE IMPROVEMENT

After one of the severest droughts
in recent years, rains came just in a
nick of time to save a threatening
| condition. Very early corn grown
on the highlands was materially
damaged, but later planting and the
valley lands were saved by the late
precipitation.
County Farm Agent McInteer es-
Inmates a corn yield approximating
80 per cent of a normal crop. The
corn is well advanced for the season,
and two more weeks will insure it
against damage from frost A well
matured, sound crop will be assured
Tobacco will be the best crop Of
the season. The growth has been
uniform and it is now maturing in al
unsupported condition. About half Of
the crop has been cut and the remain
der is rapidly ripening. However,
not more than half a crop was plant
ed.
Recent rains have been very bene-
fetal to late gardens, and have insur-
ed good pastures until killed by frost.
The late season has been unusually
favorable for the growth of late po-
tatos. but only a light crop was plant
ed. Sweet potatoes will yield album
dainty. The sorghum crop, an aver
age one in acreage, is in fine condi-
tion and evaporation is in progress.
Little weed land is being plowed
for wheat. but much corn and tobac-
co land will be sown to this crop
Twice the acreage of last season will
probably he sCwn.
Hogs for feeding purposes are
scarce. and are selling much above
the market price Only few herds
of cattle are being fed for the fall
market, but these are re-
ported in good condition Walter
Campbell, Al Sheffield, Watt Taylor,
Scion Chinn, Arvin Tichenor and j.
A. Caldwell are the largest feeders of
market cattle.

WE SALUTE JUDGE SLACK

Under the above caption the Overs
boro Messenger, the leading Demo
cratic paper in western Kentucky,
paid the following high tribute to the
personal worth and professional abil-
ity of judge r. w. Slack, just after
his election in 1915;
II we must have a Republican cir
cult Judge in the greensboro district,
how fortunate are we that it is to be
Robert W. Slack.
Search the district over and where
could be found a member of the bar
who would be more acceptable and
more trustworthy in the estimation
of the whole people?
We have known Bob Slack pretty
tolerably we'll for thirty-four years
more than a third of century. We
have known him as a Democrat and
J as a Republican. = And in all these
years we have never known one thing
of Bob Slack to his discredit We
have never known him to do a dis
honorabl thing. We never felt that
he was capable Of doing a dishon-
orable thing, There has never been
a time when we wosld not have
