The message received here from
the family of Hon. J.. Will Clay an
nouncing his death at st. Joseph's
Hospital, Lexington, at about noon
Saturday, while not a surprise, cast
a deep gloom over this entire section,
where deceased had always lived and
where he was tenderly loved and
highly honored
Mr.. Clay was born September 21,
1860, and was son of John Nv. and
Mamie Owings Clay. He was edu-
Gated here, where he became men,
ber of the Christian church at the
age of IA years. Since December IL,
when he first was stricken down, he
had been in a dangerous condition,
and had struggled hard to overcome
the dread monster, death, but his
grasp was relentless, refusing to
yield to medical science and expert
nursing.
For two terms deceased served
faithfully and acceptably the. coun-
ties of Menefee and Montgomery In
the Kentucky legislature, and for
one term the counties of Bourbon,
Clark and Montgomery in the Ken
lucky senate. Frequently he was
called on to accept local offices and
his labors here as in other positions
were served with wisdom and JUS
tice.
He was engaged for several years
in mercantile pursuits, first with W.
S. Caldwell and later with Lucien
Greene, deceased. He later engaged
in the tobacco business with the late
G. l.. Kirkpatrick and up until the
time of his death was one of the
foremost Tobacco men in the state.
During recent years he had been ex-
tensively engaged in the oil industry
in this and other states. and in this
as in all his other business relations,
had been very successful.
He was married in April, 1888, to
Miss Elizabeth Bridges, who, with
one son, William Caldwell Clay, sur
vive. In addition to his immediate
family he is survived by two grand
children, William Caldwell and AL
bert Greene Clay; one sister. Miss
Lucy; one brother, Matt C. Clay. and
half-brother. A. A. Clay, of Indian
Fields.

now rests from his labors. No citi-

people. one who was always glad TO

no man could be more missed in mat

Wages Of 100000
Rail Workers Reduced

Reduction affect mostly mainte-
nance of way workers, and average
aboue five cents per hour. Present
rates range from 2S to 40 cents an
hour reduced, they will be from 23
to 35 cents an hour.
The decision is the second reduc-
tion made in a year, the ruling of
July, 1921. cutting off $4OO, ,OOO. .dO0
from the payrolls of the roads.
II cases affecting other classes of
workers now pending before the
board are decided in line with the
one of Saturday, it will mean virtual
ly wiping out the raise of $500, ,0O0,-
900 awarded to railroad men in 1920.
Railway executives believe such
action will restore wages to a level
that will open up a new era of devel-
opment, leading to the employment
of 100000 additional workers at an
early date.
The majority of the board said
that the reductions were made in ac-
cordance with the decreases in the
cost of living.
The hearings on the case began in
Chicago March and ended April 20.

Produce Review

Production of butterfat, on account
of fine pastures, is running heavy.
Demand for butter is very good, but
is not sufficient to take up the total
make of butter for the net two or
three months and the surplus will
have to go to storage for use later,
when the production will not be suf-
ficient to take care of the demand.
The quality of eggs reaching the
large consuming markets is now
showing a decrease, but as the re-
serve stocks in storage are heavy,
the market shows a downward ten
dency.
Eggs at the present time are show
ing the effects of warm weather,
causing greater demand for stock
from the northerly sections, while
those from the southern states are
dragging on the market. The produc-
ers who gather their eggs daily, keep
them in cool places and market them
often are the ones who are able to
obtain top prices.
The movement of live hens is nor
NAL for this time of the year, with
both live and dressed markets in
consuming centers in healthy con-
dition.
The new crop of live broilers is
beginning to move in the southern
states and as the receipts increase,
Il is natural to expect lower prices.

ALMOST OUT OF THE WOODS.

The sta bility Of the present
 government of Mexico eau have
 no better proof than the fate Of
 the recent attempted revolution
 which for 8 week or two had the
 anti Mexico element Of the cOun-
 try wisely modding their heads
 with a self satisfied T told you so" air. The clouds of revolu ton loomed black and threaten ing on the horizon. and it seem ed even to the friends of Mexico, that another deluge of chaotic Turbulence was about 10 enguif the republic.
 This impression was helped along by exaggerated reports from Mexico City, disseminated by the remnants of the Cientifico party. which was the impulse back Of the revolution. These reports made it seem that the outbreak, which was really ab Ortive, was spontaneous in all parts of the republic, and rumors Of the defection Of garrisons in strategic and important cities, flew thickly.
 Then suddenly the horizon cleared, the threatening clouds dissolved before the sunlight of a sta ble, determined and strong ly entrenched administration Professional revolutionary chief tains, who before had never found difficulty in recruiting q troops, found to their surprise and dimay that the people were satisfied with the present condi .tion of affairs, and were tired of choosing the will O. the wisD at the heels of a self styled general.
 This was the reason the at tempted revolution failed. In stant measures by Oregon and his government showed the peo pie that their country was gov erned by a statesman and not by a weak vacillatipg bandit, whose aim was self aggra ndizement in stead of his cOuntry'S welfare. Obregon showed his own people, and he showed the whole world, that Mexico has a real govern ment, headed by real presi dent, and the confusion of the enemies who plotted his over throw should be sufficient answer to those who have been seeking to plunge the country back into it's former state of anarchy, and whose efforts have resulted in the withholding of recognition by the American government.
 Mexico has 8 stable govern meDt, elected by the un coerced vote of the people. She has a Statesm smanlike administra ton, governed by desire to save the republic from it's anarchy and banditry. She is saddled by terrific burden of obligations, inherited from the bandit presi dents, but slowly, methodically and eifectually, she is maneuver ing herself into 8 position where these will be taken care of.
 Mexico is like a person who has been i'll with a lingering disease. She is just now recov- ing her former health and strength, and under the admins tra tions of a good physician, she is able tC get around. But 1t will be some time yet before she can do a days work, and those who really wish a complete re covery will do well not to ask over exertion before the proper time comes But now is the time when Mexico needs a helping hand-nOt some years hence, when she has regained her place in the western world.

PLAN TO MAKE jUtY 4
CITIZENSHIP DAY. IS
APPROVED BY HARDING
fBy Associated Pressl

Austin, Texas, Feb. 24.-President
Harding's approval of the movement
inaugurated by the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs to make July
A citizenship day" is voiced in a
letter from him to Mrs. Percy v
PennybacKer, of Austin, chairman Of
the department of American citizen
ship of the general federation, made
public today.
The movement was started last
year and more than 800 communi-
ties in the United States held cele-
|brations Indicative of Americanism,
Mrs. Pennybacker said. 1t is plan
ned to have every city, town and vii
lage in the United States conduct a
similar celebration this year.
81 am very pleasantly impressed
with your program of celebrating
the nations natal day in the digni-
fled, impressive and inspiring fash
ion which you suggest; making it an
occasion on which to welcome to the
duties and obligations of citizenship
those young men and women who
have come into citizenship within
the preceding twelve months and to
those of foreign birth who have come
into full realization Of duties and
privileges of American citizenship"
President Harding wrote in part.
The movement no doubt will Gre
ate a much larger and truer appre-
citation of citizenship obligations, the
president said.
"These are times in which every
effort to impress the seriousness, the
reality, the earnestness of civic duty
deserves the utmost encouragement"
he said in conclusion.
Mrs. Pennybacker also has re-
ceived a letter from Hanford Mac
Nider, national commander of the
American Legion. endorsing the
movement and promising the support
of the legion in carrying it out.
