ANCIENT BRAIN TWISTER d
ARITHMETIC OF 1917

The HarrodSburg Herald tells of
an ancient leather-bound arithme-
tic, published in 1917 by John Lyle,
of Paris, KY, which was brought
into their office by B. F. Pollard, of
Harrodsburg. The volume has in
front recommendations from the
foremost men of the State, includ-
ing Gov. Christopher Greenup, Pres
ident James Moore, of Pennsylvania
University, and Secretary of State
Harry TOulman. In those days
school children used to sing their
arithmetic problems and many in
in the book are written in rhyme
Some occupation for the long win
ter nights is provided in the follow
ing, which the Herald reproduces as
an example of how much more
easily the little folk of those days
could learn to sing the sum thar
to solve it:
A landed man two daughters had
And they were very fair,
To each he gave a piece of land,
One round the other square.
Twenty shillings to an acre
Each piece it's value had,
! The money that did compass each
For it exactly paid.
If cross a shilling be an inch
CAS- it is very near
| Which had the better fortune?
She
That had the round or square?
| The number also is required
OF acres each one owned.
And now, sir, you are desired
To make those numbers known.

work identifying the lot adjoining

will be all right.
The people of Paris could do no
better deed than 10 leave i'll their
will a provision for sO1ie portion of
their estate to be left to the up
keep of the Massie Memorial Hos
pital. This will be a worthy her.

Is usually plain sugar syrup.

You can use clarified molasses, honey,

Either way, you make a full pint

You can feel this take hold Of a
cough or cold in a wsy that means

hoarse and tight, or may be persist

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2o--Under
an amendment to the Trading with

House yesterday the time for fliing

seized during the war is extended

The amendment was recommend

Property Custodian, following APP
proval by President Harding and

"This measure affords relief for
thousands OF claimants" Colonel
Miller said in an official statement,
''by reason of the fact that the peace
resolution dated July 2, 1921, only
gave them until January 2. 1922, 70
file suits for the return OF their
property.
IF this legislation had not been
enacted, the Alien Property Custod-
ian and the Department OF Justice
would have been unable 20 act upon
claims and permit claimants 10 sue
under the law unless the Attorney
General and the Alien Property Gus
todian had taken action on their
claims within sixty days. The
claimants now have one year from
January 2. 1922, in which to flie
suit"
Colonel Miller added, This does

DIFFICULT WEEK IN
STORE FOR LEADERS
Pirates Are Striving Hard to Beat
Off Giants Who Are Three
Games Behind.

NEW YORK, July IA difficult
week confronts both Pittsburg, Ma
tional league leaders, and the Cleve-
land American worlds champions. The
Pirates are striving hard to beat off
New York, which is three games be-
hind, while Boston, their next oppo-
nent, is coming after them at high
speed. The Indians and the New York
Yankees who are beginning to edge
away from. the other American league
clubs start battle Wednesday for the
top position. The Indians are only
one game ahead of New York and
have dropped three of their last four
contests.
In the National league, Pittsburg
has failed to set the same pace as on
its previous eastern. invasion. Cooper,
the Pirates star pitcher, disposed Of
Brooklyn and Philadelphia, but was
batted out by New York.
The Giants, who went ten innings
today before admitting defeat, have
won seven of the nine games with the
invading western teams. Excellent
pitching and timely batting has en-
abled Boston to take eight games OF
the nine with the westerners.
Brooklyn is batting we'll, but the
pitchers, including Grimes, the Su-
perba star, are unsteady. Poor pitch
ing is causing st. Louis to drop back.
After setbacks in New York and Bos-
ton, Chicago hopes to take revenge on
the eastern clubs. The good work of
the Cub twirlers early last week was
wasted through light hitting. Cincin
natl and Philadelphia are playing an
in and out game.
In the American league, Cleveland
and New York are the only clubs that
have played winning ball in the last
three weeks, althugh the Indians have
not batted effectively in the past few
days. Both teams displayed some first
class pitching last week.
Washington and Detroit have been
unable to keep step with the other
first division teams. Both the Sena-
tors and Tigers fielded rather errati-
cally recently. Boston has shown
great improvement since going west.
The Red Sox were outplayed by cleya
land only after hard battle. St
Louis, Chicago and Philadelphia are
hitting lightly.
