"The Cold May Rains"

This year is no exception, "the
Cold May Rains" are here.
Farmers are getting behind with
their work on this account, and
garden truck is being greatly
stunted. 1t is fortunate that
these usual rains are coming so
early in the month. The first
days of May have so far been
colder than the average March
days.

Substitute Crops

Owing to the shortage of the
fruit crop, farmers should plant
many substitute crops. No crop
is so popular as the watermelon.
The big juicy apples must surely
come up missing but a luscious
watermelon is fine substitute if
served cold on a hot August day.

JESSAMINE FOLKS
FAVOR MR.. BAXTER
Writer in NicholasviIle News
Pays Tribute to Young Cam
didate and Urges Support

Folks coming over from Jessa-
mine are telling of the remarka-
BILE loyalty with which his home
county is going to support Will
lam j. Baxter, of Jessamine, in
his race for the Democratic nom.
ination for Commonwealth At
torney. They are saying that out
in the country sections of his
county, he will show up with a
vote that will prove how close he
is to the democrats of his home
county and prove to the demo
Gratis of the other counties of the
district, just how regarded he is
by his home folks-and they are
the ones who know a man best.
An indication Of how the good,
old country folks are rallying to
Baxter is evidenced In recent
issue of the Nicholasville News.
SANDY Bluff" correspondent of
the News down on lhe Shun pike,
who is said to be perhaps the
best posted political prophet in
all his section, said this the 9TH
er day:
VIM. j. Baxter has thrown his
hat in the ring for Common
wealth Attorney in the 25th Ju-
dicial district Mr.. Baxter is
rising young attorney and is now
County Attorney Of Jessamne,
and has made one of the best
who has ever served the people
of this county in the responsible
position. His opponent is an able
and honorable man of whose po-
lltical career Of long service is an
everlasting monument to him
and whose official acts stands
above reprOach. Surely the time
must come when men cannot mo-
nopolize elective offices. T h
fundamental principles Of genu-
inc Democracy teaches and ad-
vocates square deal to all men
aid when the voters of Madison,
Powell, Clark and Jessamine re.
alize that it is unjust and utter
/ ly preposterous 10 keep one man
IN Office a life time why then our
energetic, able and deserving
young attorney, w. j. Baxter,
/ will have glorious opportunity
to prove his capabilities and tn, n
reach higher for a sweeter polit-
ical plum and thus give some
other ambitious aspirant an op.
portunity to fall in line with that
admirable principle of rotation
in Office Very intimately ac.
|quainted with Mr. Baxter we
feel that there could be no bet
ter or more capable man in the
/ Judicial district than he for this
responsible and important office.
His democracy cannot be eriti.
clsed, his integrity unquestiona.
BILE and his morals above par.
Fellow citizens when you vote
for Baxter for Commonwealth
Attorney you are casting your
vote for man who is no polite
al coward and will perform his
duties regardless of fear or IA
yor We sincerely entreat the
voters on Jessamine especially to
give Billy Baxter their support
because he digs into perplexities.

CECIL DE MILE PICTURE,
 Is FEATCFA- AT FON'S SUN.

Gloria Swanson. who had the lead7 ing feminine role opposite Elliott Dexter in For Better, For Worse, appears in a similar capacity in .'Something to Think About" the new Cecil Dc MiIla Paramount picture which opens four days run at Fox's tomorrow evening. The idea of right thin king forms the basis of this story. In the early scenes the quaint, rural characteristics of Luke Anderson. the village blacksmith, and his daughter, Ruth, have a captivating humor. When this daughter. already engaged to marry a rich but crippled young man in the neighborhood, elopes with Jim Dirk, a newcomer, the clouds of tragedy gather quickly. Then a ser ies of swift climaxes gather in rapid succession until will power brings with it the restoration of the hero
 ines happiness through the instru- mentality of her little son.
 Although rags and tatters play their
 part in the picture in the action, Miss Swanson also wears gowns of excep- tional splendor. Several ultra new
 street gowns and evening dresses of unusual beauty were designed espec- tally for this film. Thrills and sober melodrama there is also aplenty. One tense scene is where the stern father blinds himself over his forge while in 8 fit of rage. Another is when Monte Blue as Dirk is caught in tunnel and drowned. And there is the tenderest of love scenes where the misguided girl, having drunk the dregs of life and groyeled on the bottom of life's basin, is reunited with the man she had Wronged and for which act she had repented a- ,.-~ //.
 An excellent companion picture and the usual news reel and comedy will also be shown tomorrow night.

KING DODO STORY
 AS SEEN IN PLAY
Masonic Players Will Produce
 Legitimate Musical Comedy

Rehearsals are progressing very satisfactorily for King Dodo," the musical comedy to be produced by local amateurs at the Lyceum on April 25. 26 and 27 under the auspices of the local Masonic societies. Tickets are already on sale and may be se- cured at Crowelrs drug store.
 King Dodo' was the comedy in which Raymond Hitchcock starred a number of seasons ago. In a nutshell:
 King Dodo, ruler by divine right of Dodoland has determined to grow young again and never having heard of monkey glands adopts the very original method of cutting 30 years off his life already lived by ordering all clocks in his kingdom turned back 30 years. He also orders pr. Fizz, the eminent court physician, to invent an elixir that shal make him really a young man again, that he may wed his ward, Angela. Piola, a soldier of fortune. is in love with Angela, This love is returned and the two are in the midst of a clandestine meeting when King Dodo appears. flies into a rage and orders Piola beheaded. In order to save his head, and also be near Angela, Piola relates to the king d tale of a wonderful fountain of youth, one drink of which turns every thing topsy tury. He offers to lead the king to this fount, asking. as a re- ward the hand of Angela. The terms provide that the spring must be found within the year.
 In their wild goose chase the royal party reach the land of the Spoopju people, ruled by Queen Iil, whom prophecy has promised a husband and consort in the person of a white skinned stranged who shall come and claim her hand. Poor old Dodo Is ac- cepted as the chosen one. Queen Lil laughs at the folly of seeking lost youth and says she really prefers an old man. much to the qualification of old Dodo.
 At this point all could have ended
