This is as true In the homes OF the

The chief reason why Europeans
cannot buy clothes Is the depreciation
of their currency Americans little
realize what havoc this depreciation
has wrought In the economic structure
OF the old world. II has brought the
value OF what was once a comfortable

So 900 a year-to $50. Polish money
has fallen twice as far as the money of
Austria: In Warsaw 10000 marks, once

upon clothing Is clear when II ds real

MARTIN COUNTY
DEPUTY SHERIFF
SHOT TO DEATH

The following is from the William
son CIV. Va.) News of Monday
Suffering from three gunshot wounds
Deputy Sheriff Henry Blackburn of
Martin county, KY. was brought to
the Williamson hospital yesterday af-
ternoon and died within short time
after his arrival. Two bullets from a
high powered rifle had struck him in
the breast, and, ranging downward,
passed through his stomach and made
several perforations in the smaller in
testines. One bullet struck his, hand
and made a flesh wound extending
above his elbow.
Enroute here he bled profusely and
was so weak that little hope was en-
tertained that surgical skill could avail
anything
Word came here that the shooting
was done by Harrison and James
Moore, brothers. The scene of the
trouble is laid in Wolf Greek. several
miles from Kermit Early this after
noon the Moores had not been appre-
hended, so far as was known in Ker-
nit
Two stories widely at variance, as
to the cause Of the shooting have
resulted. One is to the effect that
Blackburn had undertaken to arrest
the Moores, his reputed brothers-in-
law, who were drinking heavily at the
time. They resented his intrusion and
opened fire.
The other story attributes the tra-
gedy to family dispute, or to an old
grudge, and makes mention of case
of alienated affections.
Blackburn was 81 years old, big
muscular man, a resident of Inez, and
a deputy sheriff for the last four years.
The body was shipped last night to
the decedent's home.

SALYERSVILLE
SOLDIER KILLED
BYC.&0. TRAIN

The Ashland Independent;--A frac-
tured skull, received when he was hit
by Big Sandy train 36 early Saturday
caused the death OF Kanoy Fletcher,
25, a discharged marine OF Salyers-
vile. at 5 o'clock Sunday night. His
relatives will take charge of the body
and It win probably be sent TO Sal
yersville.
Fletcher was struck by either a
coach step or an oil box on the train
while he was sleeping near the railroad
tracks, above Hampton City Saturday
morning. He was lying with his head
on the ties and his feet down the bank
and II is believed the noise OF the
passing train so frightened him that
he raised his head and was struck by
the step or oil box.
He received fractured skull a
broken jaw bone and his teeth We're
knocked out. He was rushed to the
Kings Daughters hospital where little
hope was held for his life that day.
He seemed to rally late Saturday but
early Sunday sank into unconscious
ness from which he never awoke.
Fletcher was discharged from the
Marine Corps last "Wednesday in New
York and was on his way home at the
time OF the tragedy. Several persons
saw him In Catlettsburg Friday. as he
was easily distinguished because of
his uniform.
The accident which caused mis- death
happened about two miles above
Hampton City. The train was stopped
Immediately and the unconscious man
picked up and placed in car driven
by Charles Fannin, Jr., OF Buchanan,
and then driven to Catlettsburg where
he was transferred to an ambulance
and taken to the local hospital.

think the suggestion that Law
renee and Elliott rotate for two terms
each in the Legislature is better ar
rangement than rotating on single
terms, because a Representative is a
great deal more efficient the second
term than he is the first. The members
who have been there before always
take the lead because of their exper-
ience. The sessions are short and ev-
cry day counts largely in the work to
be done. The members who krow
what move to make from the very first
day get the jump on the new mem-
bers.
We have Lawrence county man
e. e. Shannon. He is real business
man, one who does things and wastes
no time in doing them. He has the en-
ergy, ability, character and experience
and when the session starts he will be
"off'' with the best of them. He has
plans for legislation that is needed
Everybody knows what he stands for
as he has announced it publicly.
Mr.. Shannon has always been pro-
gressive, standing for the betterment OF
conditions among the people and for
public Improvement of all kinds, roads
schools, etc. believe he can and will
do more effective work in the Legis-
lature next winter than any man we
could get. If the people would always
put men of this kind into the impor-
tant offices they would get results OF
the right kind.
The women are voting this time and
I hope they will look into this matter
and see how important 1t is to them
and their children to send Mr.. Shannon
back to the Legislature this time.

BEFORE HEALTH
BREAKS DOWN
Wise People Take Pepto-Mangan. the
Blood Builder.

The prevention of sickness is one
OF the greatest works of the public
health authorities. People are being
taught how to take care of their bod
les SO that they can avoid sickness.
In schools children are being taught
hygiene. Serious illness can be
avoided by proper care of the health.
Pale faces, sickly bodies, loss of ap-
petite and sleep. headaches and ner-
vousness are usually signs of weak
blood. With poor blood, the body
has nc resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time
of it. People are learning the neces-
sity OF keeping blood in good condi-
