Doctors have found by experience
that NO medicine for colds and inhu-

step in the treatment is the new, nausea

which are free from the sickening and

that an active liver may go long way

They had breakfast and hurried

Master Thoughtfulness said: Madame

hour, or almost a whole hour, for our
breakfast. 1t wouldn't do to wake her
up and get her up ahead Of time. She
would be quite insulted if we did. So
we mustn't hurry too much"
The boy and the girl tried to eat
their breakfast more slowly, though it
was hard. They were looking forward
to having their fortunes told and hear

Thoughtfulness, as he saw that the

Thomas Kashrent greeted his land

the other day from a bulletin sent out

its subject matter is of interest to us

What do you think of adding a
! clause to the contract whereby you
will be given the option of paying me
! in terms of bushels Of corn, oats. or
wheat? This Farmers Bulletin
spoke of tells about similar arrange
mpnrs which southern farm owners
ana tenants have put into practice.
A good bit of cotton land is rented
on basis such that the tenant pays
so many bales, or so many pounds OF
cotton, for the use of the land for a
year. The amount of the rent is close
ly related, or should be, to the value
of the produce which the tenant is
able to raise-that's why farmers and
landlords find difficulty in fixing the
rent every year. They're trying to put
a value on crop that isn't out OF
the ground yet, You see. If you agree
to pay me so many bushels of grain
instead of a fixed amount in dollars
and cents, I'll be taking my chance
along with you and our good and bad
years will run along together. What
do you think of the idea?'

.oonshine Still is

A moonshine still was captured
right here in Mt Sterling Tuesday
night, on East Main street, across
the street from the Beaumont Hotel.
The room was rented and occupied
by Raymond Thomas, colored, who
with thirteen other negroes were
taken into custody. The raid was
led by the local police force, assist

The still captured while a small
affair, was said to be one of the
most complete ever seen in this Sec

the still quantity of whiskey was
also seized by the officers, who are
doing everything in their power to
break up the illegal traffic of liquor

Delightful Occasion

The annual congregational meet
ing of the Presbyterian church,
which has become an important fea-
-ture of the church life of the organ
ization, was held last-night. The at
tendance was most gratifying, and
splendid reports were made by the
secretaries and treasurers of the
various docieties and boards. After
the business session there was an
enjoyable reception in the church
parlors, during which refreshments
were served, and a musical program
given by some of the young people.
The pastor was chosen chairman of
the meeting and Mr.. H. B. Ringo,
secretary. A fine program for the
new year was mapped out and
everybody is greatly encouraged.

recreation along some other line. The
Life Extension Institute says that
three times as many people die at
the age of forty as at the age Of
twenty-one and perhaps the chief
reason for this increased death rate
is that many Of them get tied down
to business and household care and
forget how to smile. The man who
forgets the play spirits soon passes
out of the kingdom of youth and
ceases to be interesting to his fam
lily and fellow citizens.
If we learn to play together as
well as work and worship together
we have developed the ideal for the
promotion of good citizenship. Mr..

Community Service
for Mt. Sterling

A meeting called at the rest rooms
Tuesday morning by Fl. G.. Hoffman,
president of the Chamber of Com
merce, and attended by about TWEEN
ty-five of Mt. Sterling's representa-
tive citizens, was addressed by A..
Lyle DeJarnett, of New York, rep
resenting the Community Service.
Mr.. De Jarnett, who is an enter
tanning and convincing speaker,
fully explained the many advantages
Of having Community Service here
and outlined the plans by which this
may be accomplished.
H. A. Bahb, superintendent of the
City Schools, was unanimously elect
ed to serve as chairman and an in
vitation was sent to service head
quarters asking that a secretary be
sent here to help local citizens get
things started.
Mt. Sterling does not propose to
be behind the rest of the world in the
development of leisure time pro-
gram for their community. Our citi-
zens for some time have been dis
GUESSING the possibilities of play
ground activities.
IF Ire New York office of Com
munity Service, mo, accepts Mt.
Sterling's invitation a Community
Secretary will be sent here for three
months to help local citizens develop
a leisure time program. They will
help us to organize all sorts of
games, everything from Twilight
Baseball to golf, story telling for
the children, community orchestras
and choruses, community dramatics,
including pageants and community
forums The organization makes
specially of the celebration of com
munity holidays.
This community movement is now
spreading very rapidly in America
More than 42S cities last year main
tanned more than 1000 Fairgrounds
and in the last three weeks seven
Of Kentucky's wide cities
have invited Community Service to
help them develop these activities.
Among the towns in Kentucky es-
interested in Community
Service are Hopkinsville, Paducah,
Newport, Lexington, Covington, Dan
lille, Frankfort, Georgetown, Paris,
)wensboro and Mt. Sterling, which
las just been added to the list.
In presenting the matter to the
'itizens Tuesday morning Mr.. De
Iarnett said that every live town
the country today is realizing that
we want to make good citizens we ,
must revive the neighborhood and i
ct together the spirit of the good [
ld-fashioned days. We learned dur (
