JUST FOLKS
THE BACHELOR.
BY Edgar A. Gue-t.

Nothin' doin', I'm for boys
First an last an all the time,
Girls want dolls an cabs for toys.
Girls don't ever dare to climb.
Girls are silly. I don't know
Why they ever have to be
Did you ever see one throw?
Girls don't make a hit with me.
Girls wear ribbons in their hair
An they clean their finger nails:
Worms an frogs girl will scare.
Girls won't ever pick up snails.
Ma says l should be polite
When I'm in their company
Ever see one try 10 fight?
Girls don't make "A hit with me.
Pa says girls are mighty sweet.
An SOME day III find II out.
But they're all dressed up so neat
There's no fun when they're about.
| can't stand en- round at all.
What they're good for. don't sec
Ever watch one catch a ball?
Girls don't make hit with me.
Boys are better right along:
They don't mind a little mud.
They've got muscles big and strong
They don't faint at sight of blood
Girls can't use baseball bat.
Girls don't dare to climb a tree
Ever see one skin the cat?
Girls don't make & hit with ME.

TARIFF FOR POLITICS.


There is n singular contrast between

Chamber of Commerce formally re-.
SOLVED that world economic conditions
were 80 unsettled that there we're no
clear signs OF the sort OF tariff tho
cmerkency calls for. Therefore, to set
up new legislation I'm this uncertainty

Runnymede Stock Farm, located
In Bourbon county, near Paris, was
devoted to the raising of thorough
breds from 1875 to 1913. The late
Col. e. F. Clay was the owner of
this estate and gave to the turf
many of it's most famous horses. For
many years the late Woodford Clay
and his brother, Brutus J. Clay,
raced string of thoroughbreds in
the East and won many of the turf's
richest prizes. After the death of
Col. Clay and his son, Woodford,
there were no thoroughbreds raised
at Runnymeade. However, Brutus
j. Clay has returned from Atlanta
and has taken up his residence at
the old home, and it is his purpose
to again go into the business of
breeding thoroughbreds in small
way and to take care of thorough
bred horses for others. There is
good prospects that the former glo-
ries of Runnymede may be restored
at this historic place

r. SIMMS' XALAPA> FARM
BOURBON COUNTY


Mr.. E. F. Simms, successful oil
man, is giving Kentucky the benefit
of his great fortune. The past year
he has been collecting what may
prove to be the most valuable racing
stud in America. Thousands of
acres of land have been purchased
by him near Paris, in Bourbon
county, and when his plans are COM
pleted he will have an ideal thor
oughbred nursery which will shelter
some of the greatest horses the
world has produced. Not only has
he selected the choicest broodmares
in this country and in England and
France, but he has purchased for the
head Of his stud two wonderful sires
that are sure to bring success to his
establishment and further add to
the glorious record of the American
turf. Last year Mr.. Simms pur-
chased from the Due Decazes, Prince
Palatine for 100000. He is the
son of the Derby winner Persimmon,
himself a first-class race horse; is
the sire of Donnacona and Prince
Pal, and in his new environment is
sure to warrant the princely sum
paid for him.
Mr.. Simms has also brought to
Xalapa Farm the famous French
Derby winner Negofol, which he
owns Jointly with the Due Decazes'
Negofol sired Imp. Hourless, cham
pion three-year-old of America,
1917; is also the sire of Tchad, win
ner of the French Derby, 1919, be-
sides many other winners, and it is
| certain that in Kentucky he will
take his place alongside of such
royal studs as Fair Play, Friar
Rock and Man O. War. There is
promise of bright days for the Amer
lean turf when such captains of in
dustry as Mr.. Simms invest millions
I'm the breeding of thoroughbreds,
and it is fortunate that Kentucky
should be chosen as the theatre for
carrying out his vast plans.
