JACkSoN'S WORK
Maidstone Neighbor Organizes
To Win First Prize In "Bet-
ter County Campaign"

Jackson county's work in the
Better County" campaign is at
tracing attention all over the
state. Here in Madison everyone
is pulling" for her neighbor
county to win the first prize OF
$1,000 offered by the Courier
Journal for the county showing
tire most progress. 1t is under
stood that Jackson county will
devote the entire sum, if success
full, in making an addition to the
road fund. The Courier Journal
had this editorial on Jackson
county's work this week:
The progressive of Jackson
county set the rest of the state an
example of how to celebrate In
dependence Day.
Instead of fireworks or oratory
devoted to laudation of the found
ers of the republic, and uttered
by windy gentlemen with an eye
peeled upon prominence or politi-
cal office, the Jacksonians met to
advance their Better County"
campaign. They talked about a
road from Mckee to the Madison
county line, and a new court
house.
Because it is without railroads
and without improved highways
Jackson county is remote wher
distance is measured by the time
the journey consumes. 1t is 50
remove in the popular mind that
a few Kentuckians realize thai
but a single county-Madisor-
lies between Jackson and Fayettc
county that only one county seat
-Richmond-lies between Nc
Kee and Lexington.
An improved road to Richmond
would be an outlet from Mckee
to all the blue grass counties am
|; to Louisville \ glance at the
MAJ shows how near Jackson
county IS to the most highly sec
ton of rural Kentucky. \ Jour
new to Mckee under present con
ditions/ shows how far that coun-
j.ty seat is from Lexington, be
cause Of the conditions existing.
The indications are that some
thing will be done for jackson
county by Jackson countians in
the near future. Their Fourth
of July celebration provides a
model upon which many Fourth
Of July celebrations well might be
arranged.
1t is we'll to reflect that the
founders of the republic had some
thing better to do than talk Of the
glories OF the past. They had III
hand the task OF laying the
foundations of glorious future
None of them, surely, would fail
to sympatllize more heartily with
Jackson countians, observing In
dependence Day by getting to-
gether to get done things that
should be done, than with holiday
makers who can think OF nothing
better to do than eat, drink and
be merry, send ZIP sky-rockets or
bawl about their flag and their
forefathers.

Arriving at the Berliner hangers We
found that Mr.. Emile Beriiner had al
ready preceded us and that the craft
had been prepared for fight and was
ready to be rolled from the hangar.
The machine looked like the conven-
tional airplane, in that the fuselaSe
and rotary engine might easily have
been that of a Newport. The wings
were replaced by two well braced hori-
zontal duralumin spars extending on
either side sufficiently to allow the two
large airscrews, mounted In a hori-
zontal plane on the outer ends of the
spars. to describe circles, circumfer-

that they, too. were operated by the
stick. In fact. the system of control
was identical with that of any airplane.

at the critical moment. We have let
some grit into the machinery; we cam
not play well; we fail to rise to the
difficult situation; and no will power

a geographical question about his re-
gion. often shows a long latent period
or pause between the stimulus and

he Is not used to be questioned

cause he is puzzled by what seems to
him a silly question: but IL is, in GER

complete that trivial stimuli find no

which the mind should be focused.
There is another and subtlcr quality
which must be cultivated IL presence
OF mind is to find its highest express
sion. We must have our mind in good
order: we must have a fortress into

we must have philosophy! The wise

Canadian Building Boom

"ANADA is experiencing a build

six months OF the year show

any year since 1914.
Building permits had an aggregate
value OF s132. 452. 900 for the first six
months, as compared with sl11, 76s, 500
in the first half of 1921. Ontario ac-
counted for $74,5s6, 900. Quebec s31,-

and the western provinces s21. 049. 200.
or the total 53,435, 800 was invested
in residences. $50 1860. 900 in business
buildings, s1O,o5O, 700 in industrial con-
Germs and s29.305.100 In engineering
construction. Compared with last year
Toronto has led all Canadian cities in
work OF this kind.
This activity extends from coast 70

crease in construction OF 80 per cent.
over last year. Quebec reports an in
crease of so per cent, Saskatchewan

passed.
Regina. Edmonton, Moose Jaw,

since before tho war. Building in these
western cities Is taken as a barometer
OF the prosperity OF the agricultural

Building was almost ut n standstil

a substantial scale is looked upon by
business men and economists as an
augurY OF prosperous times ahead.

World Must Be Turned
From It's Wickedness

The world, hy hook or By crook,
must be turned from its wickedness In
this matter Of competitive ornaments,
and almost any means justifies the end
which it Is so stupendously important
to keep in view. When we are assured
that Londons five millions could in a
future war be almost instantly wiped
out by poison gas, ard that 1t Is now
possible to sink the biggest warship
by bombs dropped from height OF
5000 feet, we have surely come to q
point when we should call sternly for
d halt in the construction OF wars
helish devices, and at the same time
refuse positively TO allow the hard
earned wealth OF tho world to be dissi-
pa.ed in providing such senseless and
diabolical contrivances.
Senator Borah, therefore, will have
done the world a service If he can per-
suade his own people. by the exercise
of the financial advantage they at
present hold, to keep 10 their bond the
countries subscribing to the disarma-
ment proposals. The question of re-
ducing ornaments and the ruling out
OF the inhuman inventions and bar
barrie practices introduced during the
recent war are OF far more conse-
quence than any monetary consider
alton.
Above everything, we must make
the future safe for our children ana
our chidren's children, and any sacri-
flee we may be called upon to pay at
the present time will be justified II

In 1920 the number of surcharged
varieties distributed was greater than
the total number of postage stamps
issued in any one year previously, ex-
cept in 1902, when 2.212 surchargcd
