BUY YOUR COAL DIRECT
FROM MINE-BIG SAVING.

The high cost of coal is thing Of
the past At least, there are no COM
plants on this account-since the re-
moval of government restrictions -
among those who have learned how to
buy coal. The way to buy coal is to
get 1t direct from the mines. This
saves several middlemens profits. 1t
saves hauling expenses. Anyone can
now buy at mine prices, whether a
carload buyer or one who used only
ten or fifteen tons year. This has
been made possible through a plan
evolved by large and old-established
concern, THE BERNICE COAL COM
PANY, with main Offices at 400 Como
Building, Chicago.
This company has thousands OF Gus
toners in various sections of the
United States who receive all of their
coal direct from the mines These Gus
toners are pleased not only because
of the many dollars they save every
year, but also because of the quality
of coal they are getting. Many write
that they never before had coal that
makes so little dust, that burns sc
we'll, leaving so few ashes. If you are
coal used-whethe you use hard OF
soft coal, much or little-it will bt
greatly to your advantage to write the

Ing at Kentucky State
Fair.

Prizes totaling $500 viii be distrib-
uted by the Louisville livestock EX-
change to the boys and girls OF Ken
lucky in Junior Judging Contest OF
beef cattle, hogs, sheep and dairy cat
tie at the Kentucky State Fair next

/ uals will number ten, totallng sl65
and six premiums totaling SS5 will go
to county agents producing the win
ming teams. In addition a trophy
worth $50 will be offered to the team
making the best showing to be retain
cd by the team for one year and to be-
come the property Of the team win
ming three successive years.
Announcement of the plan was made
Monday by W. s. Bell, President Of
the Louisvilel Live Stock Exchange.
The judging contest will be held at
the State Fair grounds on date to be
announced later. 1t is intended to
hold the montest in the morning In
order to finish it with the least
amount OF interruption and to lift the
tension from the children as quickly
as possible, as boys and girls under
such conditions are peculiarly sus-
ceptible 10 strain.
Following the contest trucks will
take the children from the Fair
grounds with the county agents to the
Bourbon Stock yards where they will
be conducted aroun dthe grounds and
the scientific methods of handling
livestock there will be explained to
them. A demonstration will be given
the childre nat the stock yards in
which comparison of the relative
merits of a scrub and pure bred an
imal will be made by cutting up of
actual carcasses into their various
meat cuts.
Carl w. Buckler of the University
Of Kentucky College of Agriculture
and the state leader of the Junior
Clubs. has agreed to take the matter
before the clubs of tthe state in var
Gus counties with the hope of getting
100 per cent representation at the
contest. Mr.. Bel lhas taken the MAJ
ter up directly with the county agents
themselves.
For several years the government
and the College of Agriculture have
been promoting clubs for children N
the interest of pure bred animals.
Some of the clubs have large mem-
bership. The movement by the Louis
vile Live Stock Exchange to award
prizes is the first undertaken on a
large scale in the state and is part
of the campaign including better sire
sales and fat and feeding cattle show
and sale to be held at the Bourbon
Stock yards to restore the high grade
live stock production in Kentucky.

Laziness is at the back Of most Of
the lesser reasons for failure. The
minor causes are derivatives from that
one great major cause.
1t is so easy to dream in the sun
and let the world 80 by; to dawdle and
procrastinate, till one wakes up--too
late.
Late and lazy are, in fact, first
cousins.
II you are late you waste other peo-
pies time as well as your own.
Lazy people have al 1.-The time there
is, and yet they haven't time TO be
polite. They disdain the forms of cere-
mony that sweeten life.
They are grouchy, surly, grun. IL
pains them to be pleasant, to say
thanks and to smile.
Therefore the remain underlings.
There is plenty Of room at the bot
tom for the boy who has never learned
to be polite.
To be deferential is not 70, be servile.
1t Is merely to be decently respectful.
The biggest men are the snost I'M
assuming and the most unpresuming.
1t is the insignificant people who
fluff themselves up with foolish pride
and are forever Grating from the film
sy and slippery platform of their own
touchy dignity.
Failure is generally elective 1t
rests with the man himself to decide
whether he care enough for success to
pay the price. Philadelphia Public
