BREEDING INDUSTRY
IN KENTUCKY

The Importance OF the thorogh-
bred to the security of the United
States is fercibly brought home to
us by some comments of Col. F. s.
Armstrong, Chief of the Remount
Service, Quartermaster Corps, Unit
ed States Army.
Stressing the point that for years
1t has been increasingly difficult to
obtain good calvary mounts, Colonel
Armstrong calls attention to the dire
need of them which the A. E. F.
would have experienced had the
world war continued a few weeks
longer, and to the relation of the
breeding industry to the question of
supplying army mounts in sufficient
numbers. "The relation Of the
thoroughbred horse to the army"
he says. is close. A large number
Of officers are of the opinion that the
cross between the thoroughbred stall
lion and the grade farm mare will
produce the best type of calvary
horse. For several years the
thoroughbred horsemen have done
much to aid in the production of
calvary horses; and at the present
the various racing commissions and
jockey clubs have signified their in
tention of doing greater things"

FAMILY OF FIVE, AGES
TOTALING 398 YEARS

Upon request we have reproduced
the following article from the Re-
publican:
Ohio County, and the Beda sec
ton is the home of most remarka-
Bile family. The four sons and one
daughter, are surviving children of
Mr.. Nathan Bennett, deceased. The
total age of these five is more than
39S years. The elder, B. NJ Ben
Bennett so; Norris Bennett, almost

est is 73. The three older Bennetts
have resided practically all their
lives within mile of their fathers
old homestead. as has Mrs. Ambrose

ris Bennett has resided in the Pleas
ant Ridge community for a numbe
of years, and just recently I. M. has
gone to Illinois, to make an extend
ed visit with a son, who resides in
that state.
Each of the five is well beyond

BEAVER DAM STORE B0BDEO \
OF CASH ANO Cl0TH|NG
Thieves Prepare for Wholesale
Burglary But Plans Are
FoiIed by Proprietor

Thieves entered the mercantile
establishment Of ]. T. Vinson and
Son, at. Beaver Dam, early last
Thursday night, secured $4,000 in
cash, some clothing and were pre-
pairing to make Wholesale robbery
when interrupted by the appear
ance Of the proprietor upon the
scene.
Mr.. vinson attended the picture
show and on his way home at about
10 O'Clock decided to enter the
store to see IL all was we'll. When
he opened the door two men, who
were busy in the center Of the store
rushed out the back door and made
their escape. The money was Sc
cured by prying open the cash regis
f ter. The thieves had carefully se-
lected number of best grade suits
and had stacked them on the count
er. Several suits were found in
the rear of the blacksmith shop
about SO yards away and a pair of
shoes were found near the Method
ist church. These articles were
evidently dropped in their hasty
fight.
A small possee was formed and
attempted to intercept the burglars
by making detour in a car, but
they evidently had not followed the
direction supposed. Mr.. Vinson has
a number of clues. Two strange
men came into the store before
closing time and made some small
purchases presenting $4,000 bill
in payment, which was no doubt
for the purpose of finding out
whetheri or not there was money in
the cash register. He remembers
the appearance and dress of the
men and would know them.
The entry was made through the
rear door, after window pane had
been broken, and the window rails
ed thus permitting them to turn the
key which was on the inside of the
door.
