BOURBON POST PROTESTS DIS
COURTESY TO THE FLAG

At a recent meeting of Bourbon
Post the following resolution in
viting attention to the courtesy due
the American flag was adopted:
Whereas, All American citizens
should pay tribute to the flag Of our
country, when it is being carried un-
furled in parades, ceremonies, and
such occasions, Tby comforting to the
proper custom of standing, in -
lence. facing the nag, men with hats
removed, until the flag has passed:
and,
Whereas, During the burial cere-
monies, participated in recently by
Bourbon Post, lack on the part of
many individuals of this outward
show of respect and courtesy to the
flag was very noticeable; and
Whereas, We believe this negli-
gence to have been due entirely to
thoughtlessness or carelessness and
to no spirit of disloyalty;
BE it Resolved, That this organi-
cation respectfully invites the atten-
ton of the public to the proper man
ner, as outlined above, of civilians
saluting the flag, and request that
thoughtful consideration be given
this patriotic duty.
''Be it Further Resolved, That Z
copy of these resolutions be given thu
local newspapers for publication, am
that copy be given the school super
intendents with the request tha
| there be brought to the attention o
all pupils the Importance Of observ
| ing this mark of respect to our ma
tional emblem.

PARRAKEET STORES CLOSED AT
OTHER PLACES

The store of the Parrakeet Mineral
Water and Grocery Company, on
Cumberland avenue, is closed on ac-
count of the involuntary petition in
bankruptcy filed against the company
Saturday of last week in Louisville,
in consequence of which the PARA
keet stores of Louisville, Paris, Ra-
VIENNA, Corbin, and of towns in
Tennessee, are also closed.
1t is not known what the liabili-
ties of the company total nor what
their assets amount to. Quite a
large number of Middlesboro citizens,
mostly wage-earners, have stock in
the concern, it is said. The same be-
ing true of Paris and other places
where stores were operated.

SADDLE HORSE MEN HOLD AN.
NUAL MEETING

Breeding of saddle horses in Ken
lucky received new impetus at the
annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the American Saddle Horse Breed
ers' Association, in Louisville, when
il was shown to the breeders that
the demand for saddle horses new ex-
ceeds the supply.
Claude NJ. Thomas, of Paris, pres
ident of the association, said the
horse show this season and for many
years would be one of society's great
est events. In many cities, he said,
riding schools are being organized,
which causes an ever-increasing de-
mand for good saddle horses.
The Kentucky State Fair Associa-
ton recently agreed to offer to the
Breeders Association two prizes of
$1,000 each for the best colt foaled
this year and in 1922. Dams for the
first stake will be nominated at the
meeting.
The outlook for the saddle horse
business is Every bright, indeed
said President Thomas. Although the
business was hard hit during the war
Mr.. Thomas said, 81 saw revival &
year ago and conditions look even
better now. The greatest drawback
10 the business is the high rates
charged by railroads for passenger
and freight trafic. BY the time one
ships a horse at the present rates h
has little margin left"
glr. Thomas was reelected presi
dent of the association. Other officers
reelected were: First vice-president
l. N Thurman, Springfield; second
vice president, John T. Collins, NORTH
Middletown; secretary, r. H. Lillard
Lawrenceburg, KY; treasurer, P
Woodbridge, Pewee Valley.
The following were named direc

OFF TO THE MOON.

All aboard for the moon! Prof. H,
Goddard, OF Clark university, an
nounces that a rich man has furnished
"the necessary" and that the Goddard
rocket. sensation among scientists, will
be fired from earth to the moon next
spring.
Who will travel inside this rocket;
I have 20 applicants" says Cod
dard. "All of them are adventurers
rather than scientists" Naturally
Jules Verne, in 1870, published
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the
Sea-" It was considered the wild
dream Of visionary. In reality it was
an accurate prophecy OF the modern
submarine.
In 1865, Verne published "A trip to
the Noon" Will 1t, also, prove to be
an accurate prophecy? The Goddard
rocket win tell.
In Verne's book, the men who were
rushing on through space in a shell,
bound moonward, passed out Of ehe
earths sphere OF gravitation. They
dropped a dog out. The dog didn't fail
It began revolving in space around the
lshell, a satellite, just as the moon re-
wolves around nc cdlLn.
That raises this important scientific
question: Will the Goddard rocket
reach the point where the point where
the earth's gravitational field meets
that Of the moon, and pause there. sus-
pended in. space?
Man unquestionably viii send huge
rockets to the moon. If Goddard fails,
other scientists win carry the work on
to perfection.
Unquestionably, too, dare-devils will
travel inside the rockets. There's al
ways someone who will try anything.
What of the mentality of such a
venturer? Crazy? Why so? The
rocket passenger in 30 seconds would
live more than you and I live in 30
years. Then, too. he would be mar
tyr to a noble cause.
We OF today live on the threshold Of
an age of scientific magic. What
lies beyond can only be imagined by
men like Goddard, with the moon rock

Sadi Lecointe, Frenchman, has just

Admiral Eberle sat in his very COM

What saw was hundreds Of tons

mouth Of Gehenna, and machinery
enough to drive one frantic.
The New Mexico is as easy to run

Excellent in Engineering. There is

They represent the two first prizes.

to the bay, not FAR from the place

them to the seaweed grove where they
could see but could not be seen, right
beside a lot of smooth sand where
a number of oysters were peacefully

"Iy!' said cap'n Pennywinkle,
don't they take life easy! Nothing
to do but eat and sleep; the lazy Great

ooh, but just wait ana see!" Tub
told him. "Just you wait and keep
very quiet"
So they waited and kept quiet.
Pretty soon, who should peer out Of
the weeds on the other side of the
oyster bed but Spike Starfish. Spike
had five eyes, one at the end Of each
point, but he couldn't see very well.
But smell! Oh, how he could smell!
