 IN KENTUCKY

Frankfort, Ky, Sept. 29.-(By the Associated Press)-Eleven Democrats. eight Republicans and one Socialist thus far have lined up for the biennal race for seats in Congress from Ken lucky. In three districts, the Repub- licans have given the Democrats no opposition but in one of these a Socialist has entered.
 One Republican who won in the primary election on August has with drawn, leaving a clear field for his R. H. McMullin of Leitchfeld, who was the Republican nominee in the Fourth district.
 Dr. McMullin's opponents have as- serted that he withdraw in order to prevent the Democrats in this district, where Ben Johnson is a candidate for reelection, from working as hard to get out their vote as they otherwise would have an effect on the result in the Third Appellate Court District where Judge D. A. McCandless, Demo- crat, and Lilburn Phelps, Republican, are seeking the seat in the Court of Appeals now held by Chief Justice Rollin Hurt. The district is close and with Democratic Congressional nomi- nees being unopposed in all but few of the 23 counties the vote is expected to be lessened. The northern and central tier of counties in this district normally are Democratic while the southern tier is Republican. The candidates as entered on the secretary of states books follow: First district, Alben w. Barkley, Gncumbent), Democratic; F. M. Me Cain, Republican. Second district, David H.

HOW HOOVER GOT BELGIUM

The judgments which Walter H. Page (American Ambassador in Lon and things were quick and they were not infrequently wise. One of these judgments had historic consequences, the end of which cannot even yet be foreseen. On the outbreak of nos tilities in 1914, an American Relief Committee was organized in London to look out for the interests of strand ed Americans. Page kept close attention was attracted by the noise less efficiency of an American engineer of whom the Ambassador had already caught few f1eeting glimpses in the ished his work with the American Committee, MT. Herbert c. Hoover began to make his arrangements to leave for the United States. His private affairs had been disastrously disorganized; he had already sent his family home and his one ambition was to get on the first ship sailing for the United States. The idea or Bei- people anywhere, had never occurred to him. At this moment an Amer1- can, MT. Willard Shaler, came from Brussels and gave the most harrow ing account of conditions in Belgium MT Hoover took MT. Shaler to Page, who imm ediately became sympathetic. The Ambassador arranged an inter view between MT. Hoover and Sir Ed

Soon afterward thret BeIgians arrived and described the situation as immediately alarming: Brussels had only food enough to~eed the people for thirty-six hours; after that, unless help were forthcoming, the greatest distress would set in. lFive men-Page, the three Belgians' and Mr. Hoover-at once got together at the American Embassy. Upon the result of that meeting hung the fate of millions of people. Who before had ever undertaken a scheme for feeding an entire nation for an in definite period?
 "There is only one way" said Page Some government must give it's guarantee that this food will get to the, Belgian people"
 And of course," he added, there is only one government who can do that It must be the American Gov ernment-"
 And that involved a director-some one man who could take charge of the whole enterprise. Who should it be?

THE CLIMATE IN HAWAII

There is no question but that Ha- waii has great natural beauty and a climate that is probably the most equable in the world. The average temperature for 30 years in Honolulu was 76 degreees, 24 hours per day, l2 months in the year. There is proba- bly, no other spot in the world that can boast such an even climate; but the rainfall varies according to the location. Honolulu rainfa1Is average about 80 inches a year, but on the windward side of some of the islaa is the rainfall sometimes reaches 300 and 400 inches a year.-From Adven- ture Magazine for October.

PLEASING PROSPECT FOR
A BETTER HIGHWAY

At an adjourned meeting held in this
city Monday afternoon, under the aus
pies of the Commercial Club, there
was a good attendance of substantial
farmers and citizens of the former in
particular
The question for consideration was
the grading and substantial improve
ment of the road running west from
this city on towards MifTlin for a dis
lance of six miles.
The meeting resulted in the pledging by
farmers, and citizens of Mineral Point,
of 81, 600 to the town of Linden, Give
miles out of the six being in said town +,
providing the officials of said town
+ would vote like amount. That would
] be 81, 600, and, it is understood, the
I county would have TO put up like sum,
making 81, 900 in all. BY this it will be
! seen Linden township would secure q
"a, 900 highway job for the outlay Of
81, 900.
The other one mile Of the Elk being
in the town OF Mineral Point. citizeni
of this place have pledged $500 to th'
town uuder like provision and result
insofar as the town is concerned, foI
the building of said mile in manne
like unto the other five miles.
We are informed that the state ha
already allowed 200 for improvin,

The idea and enterprise are praise
worthy, and the prospect appears favor

advantage it would be to farmers alonI
