OHIO COUNTY LITERACY

A comparative statement of the
percentage of illiteracy of the coun-
ties of Kentucky, just isued, shows
Ohio county in a very favorable
light. The percentage of illiteracy
in the county is only six percent,
which is a good showing when COM
pared with the average Of the coun-
ties of the State. Warren county,
whose chief city Is the third most
important higher educational center
in the State, shows an illiteracy of
nine per cent, and Fayette county,
the home of State University and
Pennsylvania, shows nine per cent
of children over ten years of age
can neither read or write.

CIRCUIT court CLOSES
AFTER VERY BUSY TERN
Sets Warning Example To
The Violators of The
Liquor Laws.

A very effective term Of the Ohio
circuit court closed Thursday. A
large number of civil cases weN
cleared from the docket, but the fea-
ture of the term was a sample of dras-
tic punishment meted out to violators
of the prohibition laws. Roy Hines
OF the Rosine country, was found
guilty in each of five cases, and given
fines aggregating 5000, and Jail SEN
fences tOtaling 160 days. Tom
Taught of the same community,
against whom there was a charge of
Illicit distilling, was given a fine of
$3.50 and ten days in jail. These ex-
amples of the determination of the
court to break up this vicious form
of criminality should, and no doubt
will, throw a scare into this charac-
er of criminals. The Commonwealths
Attorney, as a further protection of
the public in the matter of bootleg
ging, asked and obtained from the
court a restraining order against
Tom Hines of Rosine, to prohibit him
from selling liquor. Hines was in
court and heard the Judges warning
of the consequence of his violating
the order.
Criminal Trials.
Commonwealth VS.. Roy Hines, five
cases for selling liquor, verdict of
jury in first case SIS and 80 days in
fail; second case, fine of $125 and
40 days in Jail; third case, $3.50 and
80 days in Jail; fourth case, fine of
$3.50 and 80 days in Jail; fifth case,
500 fine and 80 days in Jail, making
a total of fines 5000 and Jail SEN
fences of 100 days.
Commonwealth VS.. Clarence Aull
of Fordsville, failing to provide for
his infant children, verdict of the ju-
ry one year in state prison. We be-
leve this is the first case in which
man has been sent to the penitentiary
for this offense from the Ohio circuit
court.
Thomas Taught, charged with
moonshining, was given a fine of
$3.50 and ten days in Jail.
The case of the Commonwealth VS..
the Beaver Dam Coal company, which
had been indicated, along with all
the other operating mining com
panies of the county, on a charge of
failing to provide wash rooms for
their employees. as required by
law passed at the last session of the
legislature was called for trial and
the defendent offered a demurrer to
the Indictment, which the court sus-
tanned and dismissed the action, Com
Attorney Smith at once
prayed an order of appeal to the APP
pelate Court which was granted. So
far the Court of appeals has not been
called upon to pass on the validity of
this statute, and Mr.. Smiths aatiOn
will result in an opinion from that

OBJECT
OF MUCH SARCASM

Riga. Latvia, June 2S.-(Mail.)-
The comic press Of the Baltic states
has recently INDUCED in much humor-
Gus sarcasm regarding the reported
order by M. Ganetzky, the soviet Rus
sian minister to Latvia, OF a hand
painted china set for his use on state
occasions to cost 100000 rubles. This
Is equivalent, at present rates of ex-
change in Riga, to something more
than $1,000.
The dinner service, according to
reports widely circulated in Riga, is
to be painted by hand, with each piece
representing "a scene from Bolshevik
life , II
One of the comic papers depicts, in
a cartoon. Ganetzky seated at a table,
surrounded by this spectacular china,
but pushing away the plates and ask
ing for something to eat.
In all of the Baltic states, where the
soviet government has legations, the
and their aides live in lux
urious contrast to conditions said to
prevail in Moscow and Petrograd, say
the Baltic newspapers. Each Of the
minister's has a large automobile and
been engaged for the Riga legation
personnel. Some Of the ministers have
also bought deliberately furnished
town houses. Their legations are
housed in large hotels in Helsingfors.
Reveal, Riga and Kovno, the entire
buildings having been taken over for
them.
Between Riga and Moscow, and
Reval and Petrograd, luxurious sa-
loon and sleeping cars are operated
tor the benefit of Bolshevik officials,
while all other passengers must crowd
into upholstered. packed third class
cars. The newspapers here and in
other Baltic states frequently point to
these conditions and contrast them
with communistic ideals.
