ENDURANCE TEST
+, FOR SADDLE HORSES
10 Be Held Under Supervision of
j Government Agencies-Five.
Day Test Over 3OO-Mile
Course.

y Army men and others who are alive
to the country's acute under-supply
of first class cavalry and general
utility horses, as the shortage of them
was brought painfully to light during
the recent World War, are looking for
ward to the Endurance Test for saddle
horses set for next October.
This test, designed to promote the
breeding OF more and better work
types, and to improve the material
suitable for army mounts, is to be
very severe one, conducted by repre-
sentatives of the War Department,
Army Remount Service and the
Bureau of Animal Industry, Depart
ment OF Agriculture, along with those
OF our great institutions maintained
in the interest of pure bred horses,
including the American Remount AS
ISOLATION, Thoroughbred Endurance
Test Club, National Saddle Horse
Club, Arabian Horse Club Of America,
National Steeplechase and Hunt Asso-
citation and American Hackney Horse
Society. Also, its conditions make the
Endurance Test of special interest to
Kentuckians.
The distance $500 miles cross
country Will be traversed sixty miles
a day for five consecutive days, regard
less of weather, over a course to be
selected by the committee in charge.
Each horse shall carry no less than
245 pounds, made UP, according to the
rules governing, of the riders live
weight, plus so much dead weight in
equipment.
First prize will be $500. the Mounted
Service Cup, Blue Ribbon and the
Arabian Horse Club Medal; second
prize, $500 and Red Ribbon; third
prize $500 and Yellow Ribbon; fourth
prize, 5000 and White Ribbon; fifth
prize, $3.50 and Grey Ribbon; sixth
prize 500 and Black and White Rib
bon. Prizes will be awarded on the
basis of SOC for condition of the horse
and 1000 for speed-a standard that
points to the bottom and swiftness of
the thoroughbred strain as the one
likely to produce the winner.
The War Department is evincing
the keenest interest, because the result
will further the splendid work of the
Army Remount Association and the
other patriotic organizations that have
undertaken the work of breeding
cavalry horses to answer the require
ments of the army in times of peace
and it's imperative demands in war.
1t is the opinion of experts, based
on actual experience during the World
War, that thoroughbred blood is neces-
sary to the production OF the cavalry
mount of requisite speed, courage and
endurance. Kentucky, therefore, has
a paramount interest, because the
fountain-head of the purest thorough
bred strain flows perpetual in this
favored land Of ours.

TWO TEAMS NOW tied
FOR SECOND PLACE
Second Christians "Play Rings

and Score 8 to S

The Second Christians tied the
Baptists in the percentage coll
'umn Thursday by defeating the
champion First Christians on the
Normal grounds by a score of 9
to 5. 1t has not been decided
how the tie will be broken for the
red ribbon but more than likely
there will be a series of three
games to decide the second best
team in the Church league.

with a hit to left field and went
to second on d wild pitch. Chase

error by Neff. Peyton scoring.
Chase scored on Rogers hit ia
left and Ginter on Howe's wild
throw to the plate. Rogers scor-
led on Turpin's hit. Three more
runs in the fourth cinched the
game for the Second Christians.
Joe Asbill played a fine game at
short for the victorious Camp
bellites" handling eight out of
nine chances and making two
corking stops.
Willard, who relieved Neff in
the third round, pitched fine
game and the result might have
been different had he started the
game for the champions. Sew
eral costly errors were made be-
hind both pitchers. Willard also
hit well, making three clean hits
and a sacrifice hit in five trips to
the plate.
Barnett made two hits in the
first three innings-the only safe
hits made off Rogers in these in
nings.
| George Ginter played the third
sack for the Second Christians
/ He made two nice stos at this
position.
Now that there is only one
more game in the Church league
the playoff of the tie for second
tplace would be quite interesting
and the fans are still hungry fol

properly cared for. Ny first promotion came
at the end of year at the quarry, when
was given the job Of tending the tools, and
my wages were raised to 81 day.
Encouraged BY this success, began to
look for new fields to conquer. Here were
these great bodies of stone to be taken out Of
the hillsides and to be cut up into proper
shapes and sizes for use in construction
and the superintendent figuring on the
methods Of cutting out this rock and the
amounts of salable material into which the
product could be divided. These were math-
ematical problems and I wanted to under
stand how they could be worked out. So
/ began to study mathematics, particularly

this, added 10 my study Of figures . course

however, and told the boss that it was un.
necessary to hire an architsct-that wsuld

SAVED BY THE LIMITED

While the Usage Brush Limited

rye Of Conductor A. E. Anderson,
with Engineer S. A. D. Westfall at
the throttle was passing mile post rs
near Crane at 1920 a. IN. the engin-
eer noticed a large automobile lying
upside down close TO the track on the
new county road. He. taking the
initiative, stopped his train and back
ed to the crossing, where with the as
sistance of nearly a dozen of the pas
sengers, the automobile, which prov
ed to be a heavy Cadillac, was right
ed and John Piche and his daughter
in-law, Hrs. Clarence Piche, who
were pinned to the ground by the
back of the front seat, with gasoline
from the tank dripping upon them,
were rescued. They were both sew
erely bruised, but fortunately their
timely rescure from underneath the
weight of the auto, which rested on
Piche's neck, while Mrs. Piche
was lying across Mr.. Piche's body,
prevented death, or at least Mr..
Piche's.
They were taken on the train to
Sidney, where Mrs. Piche was taken
to the hospital, while Mr.. Piche re-
turned for the auto on the return trip

The prompt action of Engineer
Westfall undoubtedly saved the oc-
cupants of the auto from a lingering

INCOME TAX FACTS YOU OUGHT
TO KNOW

Births, deaths and marriages dur
ing the year 1920 affect materially
income tax returns for thst year.
Millions of babies were added to
family circles, each Of whom brings
an exemption of $500 IN the parents
income tax return.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purposes of the ir-
come tax law and are granted only
an exemption of $1,000, unless the
head of a family.
Persons who were divorced or sep
arated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider themsel-
yes as single persons
The status of the taxpayer on
December 81, 1920, determines the
amount of the exemptions. If, on
that day, the taxpayer was married
and living with wife or husband,
claim may be made for the $4,000
and not living with wife or husband
on December 81, the exemption is
only $1,000.
Persons who reached majority dur
ing the year and whose earnings for
that period amounted to $1,000 or
more, or $4,000 or more, according
to their marital status, must file a
return and pay a tax on their net in
come in excess of those amounts.
To avoid penalty, the return must
be in the hands of the collector of in
ternal Revenue for the district in
which the taxpayer lives, or has his
principal place of business, on or be-
fore midnight of March Is, 1921.

A v OF MANKIND

1T is in the very variety and ex-
tent of the studies of Lincoln's char
acter that the strength of his hold on
the imagination yof the world is
shown. Fifty-six years have passed
since he met his tragic death. Thru
all that period the interpretations Of
his character-historical analytical,
poetical-have steadily increased in
number. The bare facts of his uni
que, yet strangely typical and signi-
hcant career, arrange themselves in
perspective like the acts of a great
uplifting tragedy. If he had lived
in the days when myths We're made,
it is easy to imagine that in the pro-
cess of time he would have grown in
to a great mythical figure, a King Ar
thur of the New World, a half divine
hero like those that we associate with
the most distant antiquity.
"But he belonged to no such period
his age is one of the most amply re-
corded in all history, and the records
of his life are so intertwined with

his feet can never be wholly removed
from the earth. Indeed, it is much
better that no such possibility exists.

THE COURT RULED
AGAINST ANDERSON

Froid Tribune-The contest case
of John H. Anderson against Frank
Weinrich was heard in Poplar on
Monday and Tuesday of this week
before Judge Conner, resulting in a
decision for Weinrich, and the Judge
giving a decision for 100000 attor-
ney's fees to Weinrich against An
derson besides all costs. The ballots
were not counted, the Judge ruling
unfavorable to Anderson on every
motion pertaining to the count of
the ballots, except as to precinct "a.
AS to this precinct he ruled that the
ballots might be counted, but refused
to make an order himself directing
the Clerk and Recorder to produce
them, and when a subpoena was is
sued by Anderson to compel the
Clerk and Recorder to produce these
ballots, due to the fact that they were
not produced at the time r%eturnable
in the subpoena, or within a few
hours thereafter, the Judge ruled
that the case must proceed, refusing
to grant a motion by Anderson to
continue the ease until the ballots
had been brought into court. 1t is
stated that the case will be appealed
to the Supreme Court in the hopes
that it may be reversed and the bal
lots yet counted, for, according to
the evidence given in at the trial,
precinct "a contained from Is to IS
for Anderson that were not
counted, being enough to have elect
I'd him.
