Morris Creek Community
Fair A Success

Saturday, October S'h, the com
munity of Morris Creek held their
first Community Fair. Through
the efforts of the school teacher,
the County Agent and the good
folks of Morris Creek, an all day
program was worked ont. Though
the weather was cold, large
crowd was present. The pupils
entertained the crowd IN the
morning by giving all sorts OF
school work prepared by them
and their teacher. In the after
noon the Flag they won ia the
contest at the County Fair was
presented to them by Mr.. A. /.
Stewart, of Stanton. The Boy
Scouts, under the leadership Of
Mr.. l.. O. Knox, entertained wit h
a good many stunts, then games
of all sorts were played both by
young and old. Every body had
a good time. Morris Creek is
growing in more ways than one.
Too much credit can no. be given
to their school teacher, Miss Es-
ter Lutes, She is doing all she
can with the hel lp of the commu
nitv tn make this the best com.
munity IN Powell County. Other
communities holding Community
FAIRS have been: Rosslyn, Wal
tersville and Natural Bridge.
The same can be sad of these.
With fairs like these held in each
school district, what kind of L
County Far could Powell County
have in 1922? The County Agent
and superintendent of Schools
can only assist in these things,
it's up to the people IN the coun
ty. These communities named
have shown their willingness TO
do their part. Let every c0mmu
nifty do its part next year,

New corn is quoted as selling
in Lexington for so 80 per bar

too IN the face Of very short

sell here for less than ~ 30 if so
low.

Fire losses for the first eight
months of 1921 reachedthe alarm
ing total of 1924, Ill, $50, largely
in excess of the figures of a year
ago, and nearly fifty millions
more than the first eight months
of 1919. The excessive losses
are explained as due to the gen.
eral business depression. 1t is a
sad commentary on American
business honesty, says the Jour-
nal of Commerce, that fire Losses
invariably increase when busi.
ness is depressed.

CHAPTER VI.
Back Home.

Every mothers son of the feudIsts
was numbered in the party that filed
across David Moreland's mountain to
intercept the next south-bound train.
The old enmity was for the time being
forgotten. Members of one clan
rubbed elbows with members of the
other clan. and thought nothing of it.
John Moreland himself carried one
end of the crude litter that held the
limp form of Babe Littleford; Bill
Dale carried the other end.
Close behind the litter walked Babes
father, seeming old and broken with
remorse for the thing he had done.
The grief Of Ben Littleford was touch

II seemed q long time before Brae'

| No, they'd better not see her just then'
hut perhaps they could see her al
some time during the afternoon OF the
following day.
Dale escorted his two companions
to a modest hotel and then put them
in a room that had but one bed; by
| thus throwing them together In
strange land. he hoped to do some
thing toward making them friends.
Then Dale went to another room, un-
dressed und went to bed.

1t were, that John Moreland and Ben
Littieford quickly reached a wOrdless
agreement not to sleep together-they

strange law that keeps the theory of
vicarious sacrifice to the fore. The
accident nearly deprived the world Of
persons whom it would not willingly
lose. When the matter was canvassed
and all the evidence was in from the
near towns, it appeared that this man
was known as desperate driver. He
was not content to use his machine as
means of transportation but he had
to "step on her" and dash to and fro
to make the groundlings stare. So
definite was this that persons stepped
forward to say that long before the
accident they had driven with him,
but only once, telling him with some
heat, "never again" 1t is probably
true that in many, if not most cases,
where there is disaster the eXplana-
ton lies in the past-that "accident"
is logical outcome of recklessness.
1t may be profitable to introduce
the law of chance as a topic in the
schools. 1t is not only curious but
impressive. 1t is definitely known

MOVIE TO PROVE
HOLDING HANDS is
MONKEY HERITAGE.

When did "holding hands" first e.
come the custom in this romantic world
of ours?
Poets will tell you at the beginning
of creation" Biblical students will
point back to the days of Adam and
Eve: historians will link the custom
up with Paris and the vampish Helen
of Troy, or othere with wreckers of his
tory. but DR.. Raymond L. Ditmars as
serts it harks back to the days when
our apish grandsires chartered love
amid the cocoanut branches Of the I'M
explored jungles, long before Adam
ever lost his spare rib, or Paris rolled
the little apple. And he says he has
proof of his assertions.
All of the monkey tribe at Bronx
Geological Park "hold hands, DR.. Dit
mars assets. They do so by instinct
not imitation, and the clasping of
hairy claws to indicate every emotion
in the catalog is as natural with them
as the desire to eat and drink.
When the evasive missing link" is
eventually found, DR.. Ditmars de-
clares, he will be discovered tightly
grasping the paw of his mate and
chattering in her ears as "Don't be
afraid, we're their ancestors. you
know"
To establish the ape tribe as the rea
contributors of physical display OF
emotion, DR.. Ditmars, who is the curat
or of mammals and reptiles at the zoo
is making a moving picture to con-
vince the ranlest unbeliever that the
gift of spooning is heritage from his
monkey ancestors.
