Navy Works Secretly

Secret practice was again the order
of things at the Naval Academy and.
according 10 the coaches, the varsity
outfit showed up poorly There was a
lengthy scrimmage, during the major
portion of which the varsity was on
the defensive. The scrubs, using West
Points style of play, had possession
of the ball most of the time. and at
different stages they managed to pillow
big holes in the varsity line. The big
team, however, braced up well in the
pinches.
Cruise was again in the lineup at
fullback, in place of Hamilton, further
indicating that the coaches are unde-
cided at least as to two of the posi-
lions. The other is left tackle, in
which Wiedorn has replaced Bolles, a
veteran of two seasons. and the re-
suits of this weeks work probably
will be the basis in the final selections
for the berths.
Thousands of tickets for the big
game were sent through the mails yes
terday. Navy's supply has long since
been exhausted and many persons who
have made applications will, there
fore, be disappointed.

SIS, 900, 900 KENTUCKY'S SHARE
OF ROAD FUND

Passage of the s75,OOO,000 federal
highway appropriation will mean an
additional $1,500,000 to $1,600,000
of the federal funds to be spent on
Kentucky highways within the next
two years. State Highway Engineer
Joe S. Boggs estimated. The sum
that will come to Kentucky, he said,
is only rough guess at this time.
The bill provides SIS, 100000 to be
Immediately available for distribu-
tion to States which have complied
with federal aid regulations, Mr..
Boggs said, and that $5O,00O,OO0
should be available the first part of
1922. The States are to have two
years in which to spend the money
under the bill, which, according to
a telegram received, was finally
passed by Congress, and sent to the
President for his signature
The division of the $75,000,000
fund created by the new measure is
to be made, it is understood, accord
ing to Mr.. Boggs, on the basis of
one-third mileage of roads in the
State, one-third for population and
one-third for area. Sixty per cent of
the fund is to be used on main ma
tional highways, such as the Dixie
Highway and the Jackson Highway,
and 40 per cent on secondary roads,
which correspond to the main State
trunk highways.

KENTUCKY LEADS IN PRODUCE
OF RACES

Kentucky leads all the States in
the number of thoroughbred horses
on farms in 1920, according to the
report of the United States Census
Bureau on bure bred horses on
farms, classified as to breed.
The figures show that there were
19,767,161 horses on the farms of
the United States on January 1,
1, 1929, of which but 120,540 were
pure bred. Only siX-tenths of one
per cent of the horses in the coun-
try were pure bred, according to
these figures And out of the num-
Der Kentucky had 3,491 pure bred
studs.
Illinois leads all States in pure
bred horses, with 1859. Iowa has
1916 and the District of Columbia
has none, with the other States in
between.
Kentucky had 373 American
saddlers, &c Belgians, Clydesdales,
French drafts, Is German coach,
ia Percherops, 329 standard bred,
1,247 thoroughbreds and 1919 pure
bred horses with breed not specified.
Only 1907 thoroughbred horses
were reported in the entire country
in 1920 OF this number Kentucky
lead with 1,247; Virginia had 532
and Maryland 272. No other State
had so many.

DOG DIES WITH HIS EQUINE
FRIEND

During the burning of the garage
at 18th and Stewart, Kansas City,
Kan, little Ownerless dog sacri-
feed his life that he might share
the fate Of horse that died in the
flames. The horse was bought from
trade and used for hauling a small
ice wagon.
After>the arrival of the horse the
dog was first noticed about his stall.
The dog had many friends among
the boys in the neighborhood and
divided his time with them, but
never failed to pay a daily visit to
the horse and sometimes followed
the wagon on it's rounds.
Several attempts were made to
rescue the horse from the rapid
spread of the fire but the fear of ex-
plosions from oil and gasoline pre-
vented the rescuers from reaching
the animal
The dog accompanied each one
who attempted to reach the horse
and was brought back forcibly sew
eral times, but finally sprang in
alone and made his way through
flames and falling timbers and died
beside the friend he could not save.

THE HOME TOWN

We live in this town because we
believe in it. We believe in it be-
cause it is a good town, regardless
of its few defects and it's people are
the peers of those to be found any
where.
This town may not have the
wealth of some more favored COM
munities, but it has character, and
character is a possession which can
not be purchased with gold.
If you believe in your home town
town you will like it, and if you like
it no effort toward its improvement
will be too great for you.
Again we ask you to have faith in
your own powers; to also have faith
in your own town.
When you feel like criticising it,
check the thought before it is
spoken. You can always find some
thing good to say instead, and even
then the half of the truth will never
be told.
It is a good town now, but faith,
loyalty and united action, will make
it a better one.
Our faith in this town, brother,
is simply faith in you, because the
town is a collection of yours.
Surely your faith it not less than
ours
Let us unite-let us actor a
more cohesive community.
1t is your homeland ours.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MENTS

That the people of Kentucky, of
whatever political faith, can and do
disregard differences of political
opinion and work together on any
vital issue that promotes the general
welfare of the entire State, is abund
antly evidenced by an advertisement
which appears on another page in
this issue, drawing the attention of
all voters to the great need of
amending the constitution at the
coming election to permit of remov-
ing the administration of our edu-
catiOnal system from the smothering
influence of partisan politics.
The advertisement referred to is
being released in more than one hun
dred papers throughout the State,
and in the list of citizens contrib
uting toward the cost of this public
ity are men and women of both polit
ical parties representing every sec
tiOn of the State.
1t is high time that we, in Ken
lucky, took this forward step. Our
present system, never the best, is
now old and anitquated. The State
in it's progress has Outgrown it. 1t
no longer sewers the needs and de-
mands of our goth century progress.
The change should have been made
years ago. Other States are ahead
of us in this respect.
The question involved is not one
of partisan politics, but one that
reaches into the heart of every
man and woman in the common
wealth, regardless of his or her pol
itics, and it is refreshing to note
that leaders and people alike, from
both parties, all over the State are
uniting on this vital issue of
amending the constitution to make
possible the improvements in our
educational system that will give to
the school children of Kentucky
equal educational advantages with
the children of other States. By ali
means, let us vote yes on both
| amendments.
