Court Day" the last Of the ancient
institutions of central Kentucky.
In 1905, it develops, the city of
Lexington decided Cheapsidr to the
county of Fayette. Since that time
the county has been responsible for
it.
In late years the brick pavement
of Chepaside has become pitted and
rough. On court das it is crowded
with farmers and livestock and
wagons loaded with produce 49, this
once month. On other days auto
mobiles filled the places, parked at
all angles.
For many months there have been
complaints of the unsightliness of
Cheapside and the apparent lack of
authority by the city police. 50 ac.
ton was started in Circuit Court to
force the city to "abate he nuisance
The Circui Court ordered the "nuis.
ance" abated. But the court did not
count on the county. Now the action
has been revived through filing of a
petition by the county declaring il
alone has jurisdiction over this plot
of ground, containing perhaps a
quarter of an acre, in the heart Of
the city.
Up To Courts Now
What the result will be cannot be
told until the Circuit Court agar
acts and the Court of Appeals has its
final say, But one thing is certain
the country folk are going to fight
to the last ditch to retain their plot
of ground in the city where they car
gather and sell their stock and tall
politics.
| One custom of Cheapside that ha!
long passed but of which James Lane
Allen tells in his story was the set
Ting of physical encounters ant
drinking. Of the latter, Mr., Aller
says:
another notable recreation of the
day was the drinking. Indeed thc
two pleasures went maryelously vel
together. The merchants kept bar
rels of whiskey in their cellars fol
their customers. Bottles of it sa
openly on the counter"

Effete Manhattan lags behind her

people to feed and only Ave farms
Three Of the farmers are owners; two
are tenants. Among them the five
farms have forty-one horses and thir-
ty-nine cows. The leading crops of
1919, the Manhattan farmers told the
census man, were corn, Of which 120
bushels we're harvested, and hay, Of
which the yield wns three tonsl
The Bronx goes more deeply than
Manhattan into farming. Up there
the census man found 543 swine, 110
horses, twenty cattle and two mules
Potatoes were the bumper crop In The
Bronx in 1919, all Of 926 bushels be-
Ing harvested. Corn ran up to 160
bushels; hay, to eight tons
In Brooklyn. which is the local nick
name for Kings county, the potato
crop wns S5,421 bushels from 418
acres. Brooklyn has 900 cows but
lags behind The Bronx In the matter
OF swine, for the census man was able
to count only seventeen In the whole
county Of Kings.
II Is amazing to know that In
Queens county there are 1919 acres
that have not yet been seized by the
builders. On these acres the 565
farmers raised two summers ago

Sheep Killing Dogs.

Those who have had their docks
injured by dogs will sympathize with
Mrs. AUGUST BELMONT. who has been
compelled to abandon sheep for cattle
on her estate In Massachusetts, be-
cause OF the destruction wrought
among her Shropshires.
There Is nothing that will cure q
sheep killing, dog Of the habit once
he has tasted blood, and the amount
Of damage single animal can do In
night Is amazing. There has been
no greater menace than the dog to
the sheep industry.
The cunning displayed by some OF
these sheep killing dogs is remark
able. They frequently Journey far
from home in order to commit their
depredations, travelling under cover
OF the night, killing or manning their
luckless quarry and presenting an
innocent countenance to trusting
owner in the morning. The fact that
much OF the harm mas Deen dOne Oy
the collie or shepherd dog does not
mean that this splendid type Is an
outlaw by nature. The instinct and
training Of the collie are to be helpful
In the care Of sheep and cattle. and
the collie gets his bad name In some
quarters because he is the farmers
dog and outnumbers all other species
In every rural community.
Every rural region Is familiar with
the type Of dog which loves to kill
for the pure delight Of killing. Some
times 1t is sheep and again 1t Is
poultry that these vagabonds In the
canine family find irresistible. There
is only one remedy for this sort Of
dog: When the damage can be proved
the animal should be destroyed.

Panama Canal Express Service

In his recent discussion of the rail-
road problem JULIUS KRUrTscHNTTT,
chairman Of the Southern Pacific
board, said that ships using the Pan
anna Canal were taking traffic from
the transcontinental lines. and that
these ships were actually carrying the
citrus fruits Of California to Eastern
markets. This Is new trade for
ships, and It's development is discussed
at some length In the official publica-
tion OF the canal for April 90.
1t is pointed out that most Of the
estimates OF saving In distances and
consequently OF time by use OF the
canal have been based on comparisons
OF distances by way of the canal and
by way of other water routes, while
II has been considered that "the ad.
vantages Of the canal route would ap-
ply almost entirely to large shipments
Of nonperishable cargo, In which
cheapness OF carriage of great bulk
was the principal factor and speed In
delivery secondary consideration.
Between the coasts OF the United
States, for example. the canal and the
railroads were considered as having
separate functions. Coal. lumber. oil.
ores, heavy machinery, structural iron
and steel, grains and cotton were con-
sldered to be the ideal cargoes for
the canal; while perishable goods and
shipments of small lots would be
handled by the railroads"
This theory has been generally sus-
tained In practice. but certain coast
wise steamship companies have set
out TO develop express service" be-
tween Atlantic and Pacific ports OF
the United States The facts observed
at Panama are thus recorded:
by regular services with fast ships
they have endeavored 10 meet or ex-
ccl the railway deliveries on even
relatively small shipments In point Of
The New York herald., 1921-05-17

time. while being able to set rates
about rs per cent below the railroad
rates between the seaboards.
The extent OF their success In de-
tail cannot be determined from here;
but II is significant that the Seattle
Chamber OF Commerce reports that
the coastwise lines have started an
educational campaign to inform tho
public of the advantages OF the water
route. and that the railroads are re-
ported bestirring themselves to estab-
iish an assured twenty day schedule
for freight shipment between the At
1antic and Pacific coasts"
THE New YoRK HERALD has already
reported the successful shipment OF
apples from the northwestern coast OF
the United States through the canal
for Europe: ever since its opening the
canal has been used for shipments Of
fresh beef. mutton and frozen rabbits
from Australia and New Zealand. 1t
was only after this success had been
achieved that shipments of oranges
and lemons were made from Califor-
MIA to Atlantic ports OF the United
States. In March there passed through
the canal what was reported to be the
"first shipment Of citrus fruit from
Los Angeles to London by water" 1t
consisted Of ten carloads Of oranges
and one hundred boxes Of fancy
lemons, valued at approximately $2o,-
600. It Is asserted that the freight
saving amounts to Is cents a box
that three days time Is saved by the
canal route in comparison with ship
ment by rail to New York and thence
by steamship. Obviously, the han
ding OF the fruit thus carried is re-
duced to q minimum.
1t Is the loss Of this profitable busi-
ness which Mr.. KRUTrsCHyrrr cites !;
yet the last few weeks have seen a
great movment Of citrus fruits from
California by rail. more than 5000
carloads having been moved In thirty
days without unfavorable effect on
prices.
