MAMMOTH CAVE PROPOSED AS
NATIONAL. PARK

Mammoth Cave will be taken over
by the Federal Government and be
maintained as a National Park, pro-
vided a deed to the property is given
TO the government. 1t does not mat
ter to the government whether the
deed is given by Kentucky or by per-
sons who might be interested in this
project. This assurance has been
given DR.. W. r. Jillson, of Frank
fort, State geologist, who had a con-
ference last week with Albert Fall,
Secretary of the Interior.
Being native Kentuckian, Secre-
tary Fall assured DR.. Jillson that he
would like very much to do some
thing for Kentucky, and he believed
that he could get the government to
take over the cave and the grounds
surrounding it if the property could
be decided to the government. The
reason for this, Secretary Fall ex-
planned, is that the government
wants absolute control, so that ii
can build it's own roads, its own
hotels, and bring the Mammoth Cave
up to the standard maintained by the
government in other parks. If this
proposition is taken up by the Leg
islature, and the property decided to
the government, it will mean the ex-
penditure of very large sum OF
money annually in. that section OF
the country.

BOURBON FARM CONDITIONS

The first touch of real winter
finds the farmers of Bourbon county
well forward with their work. Pre-
vious rains have put the tobacco in
excellent condition for stripping, and
the work has progressed steadily.
1t is expected that hog killing will
be the main work this week, as a
favorable season has come with the
advent of cold weather.
Some farmers killed their hogs
during the past week, and almost
without exception their entire lots of
meat have spoiled. The present
cold snap is expected to last for a
few days at least, and, as tobacco
stripping can safely be postponed for
time, those who have porkers will
put them up while the opportunity
lasts. Pastures are in good condi-
ton, and many farmers are buying
cattle at the prevailing low prices
and feeding them on cheap corn, ex-
pecting a raise in cattle in the near
future. Winter crops of wheat, rye
and barley are reported to be max
ing satisfactory progress. Many
farmers have been disappointed al
their inability to do any fall plow-
ing on account of the continued
rains. Eggs are scarce and range
around sixty cents practically every.
where. Butter is reported more
plentiful, and in large demand.

UNCLE SANS CHECKS 60 FAR

The sun never sets on Uncle
Sans checks to former service men,
according to a statement issued re-
Gently by the veteran bureau which
showed a monthly total of nearly
100000 sent to eighty-six different
foreign countries. More money is
sent to Italy than any other country,
the bureau said, the monthly total
being S215,000, while Ireland ranks
second, former American soldiers
there receiving $4,000 month.
Compensation to former American
soldiers now residing in Germany
totals over $4,000 a month. The
checks forwarded monthly to every
part of the world, one going to the
Island of Tahita, five to Asia Minor,
four, to Egype, one t o EsthOnia,
ninety-one to China, twenty-eight to
Japan, eight to Trinidad and eleven
to Barbados, while nearly all the
South American, European and At
rican and Asiatic States receive pay
ments.

VOTES AND ALIMONY

There are penalties as well as priv
ileges attached to the ballot. A man
in Minnesota is sueing his wife for
support and alimony. 1t is the first
time the issue has been raised in
that State. The Judge is thinking it
over.
In English and American law, ali
money is taken to mean payment by
the husband to the wife on the as
sumption that the husband is the

But it does happen that woman,
tired of man for any one of wide

Of the blessed relief may come highly

Last week a mother in Tacoma,

children carried no consequences to

Children, in other words, If you

In the case Of Mrs. Schaeffer, OF
Tacoma, the compensating thing

Good old ST. Nicholas of Padua
used to throw long knitted purses tied

custom Of the people to hang them
outside of their window on the night
before Christmas. so that st. Nicholas
could put gift into them as he passed

the purses were hung on the mantel-

good old saint would come down the
chimney and fill them. When these
purses were out Of use, stockings were
substituted and have been used ever
