TOWN AND COUNTY JEALOUSY

Nothing in Kentucky life has
been more noticeable in the last
twenty years than the passing of
the prejudice that formerly existed
between the town and the county
residents. Until quite recently these
elements were generally at logger
heads and a lasting ill feeling was
engendered that was vented on the
slightest provocation.
Now a better feeling exists be-
tween the town people and the coun-
try folks and they have learned to
work together for mutual help and
development. This change in senti-
ment is largely credited to the era
of motor vehicle transportation
which has practically Joined the ur-
ban and rural population. The
contact seems to have broadened the
minds of both elements and brought
about a better understanding be-
tween them, resulting in co-opera-
tive effort that has been helpful all
around.
Instead of knocking" the town
and it's people the residents of the
county now boost their county seat
and pull for it's progress and ad-
vancement. Formerly the country
people entertained the idea that the
town people were "stuck up" and
magnified their Importance but
freer intercourse and better rela-
tions seem to have changed the
viewpoint. =
1t used to be that the line OF
cleavage between the town and
county was particularly distinct
when it came to politics and being
identified with the town clique
meant certain reprisals in the rural
section. Now, however, the country
folks assume more liberal attitude
toward those who live in town as
we'll as their opinions even to poll
tics.

AB|1 OF ADVICE
First = Don't Delay. Second
Don't Experiment

If you suffer from backache;
headaches or dizzy spells: if you
rest poorly and are languid in the
morning; if the kidney secretions
are irregular and unnatural in ap-
pearance, do not delay. In such
cases the kidneys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especi-
ally prepared for kidney trouble.
They are recommended by thous-
ands. Can Paris residents desire
more convincing proof of their eff
fectiveness than the statement Of
a Paris citizen who has used them
and willingly testifies to their
worth?
Mrs. ]. N. Reynolds, 255 Winches-
ter street, Paris, says: 81 have
found Doan's Kidney Pills to do me
more good than any remedy I have
ever used and I recommend them
highly, 1 suffered from rheumatic
pains and kidney trouble. 1 could
always tell when the weather was
going to change as my limbs became
painful. I got dizzy, especially
when 1 first got up in the morning
and my kidneys were not acting
regularly. 1 was not long in get
ting relief after I began using
Doan's Kidney Pills and feel better
in every way after taking them"
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Reynolds had. Foster

THE TRI.sTATE TOBACCO FAIR

The spirit of Kentucky hospital
lty will be present in literal sense
at the Tobacco Fair and Fall Festi-
val, to be held under the auspices of
a Greater Cincinnati Committee at
the Kenton Tobacco Warehouse,
Covington, KY, October FL to No
vember 4. The Covington Rotary
Club, is arranging to appoint a well
coming committee for each day Of
the Festival.
A pen with which the Declaration
OF Independence was signed will be
among the many notable exhibits in
the historical display at the Festi-
val. The pen was used by Abra-
ham Clark, one of the signers of the
Declaration, and was subsequently
used by George Washington. Miss
Jane Cameron became the owner of
1t, and it reverted from her to rel
atives, thus finally coming into the
hands of Charles Simpson, of 116
Linden street, Ludlow, KY, who, in
turn, presented it to the John Hol-
land Pen Company. The latter have
loaned it to Will H. Myers, manag-
ing director of the festival, for
the historical display.
Three entries have already been
received in the who'll Be Queen"
Contest. They are: Miss Carrie
Abney, S38 North Second street,
Hamilton, O.; Miss Hazel Quirk,
Hamilton avenue, North College
Hill, o., and Miss jeanette Ward
916 Clark street, Cincinnati.
Many amusement features are be-
ing booked to wake the festival at
tractive. Among them will be a
number of carnival shows and
stunts.

POUNDING THE PORK BARREL

Much fun was pDked at the pro-
posal in Congress some years ago,
to improve Mud River, in Kentucky,
and make it navigable stream.
Now it is the Tradewater River that
the Government will survey to de-
termine the feasibility of making it
navigable.
The late Proctor Knott, then a
Kentucky Congressman, gained a
national reputation forty years ago
by his satirical references in oppos-
ing a waterway Improvement at
Duluth, Mimi, then a hamlet. Mr.
Knott facetiously pictured the won
derful progress of Duluth if the har-
Dor improvement was authorized
and in his flight of oratory he dub
bed the future Duluth as the zen
it'll City of the Unsalted Seas"
In Kidding the unpretentious
Duluth of that day, Mr.. Knott mad
vertently had made prophecy that
came true and Duluth rapidly devel-
oped into an important commercial
center. The people of Duluth never
forgot Mr.. Knott. They adopted his
facetious reference as the city slo-
gan and to further show their nap
probation for the man who unwlt-
tingly forecast the greatness OF Du-
luth, they erected a statue in honor
! of Mr.. Knott, that stands in prom
inent position.
Proposed improvements of incon-
seuuential streams always have been
associated with the ''pork barrep'
system and every session of Congress
is deluged with proposals for con-
verting an ordinary creek into a
navigable stream. 1t is regarded as
feather in the cap of the Congress
, man that can get the government in
terested in the project of improving
any stream in his district. 1t makes
his constituents feel good. Uncle
Sam pays the bill.

"RAZZ" EDITOR j
M. ALVERSON
(Richmond Register)

"His country newspaper friends
are certainly giving Jesse Alverson
the razzberry over changing his
Harlan Enterprise to a Republican
sheet. Well, what could they ex-
pect? 1t was labeled independent
to begin with and most of the So
called Independent newspapers as
well as voters, are usually Republi-
can at heart, or to suit the exigen-
cies of such a situation as Jesse en-
countered in Harlan county where
there is something like 5000 Re-
public majority in elections and a
Democratic newspaper would have
as much chance as the proverbial
SNOWFALL in gehenna."

TALK OF FAIR AT BOONESBOR0

There is talk of a big fair at
Boonesboro next year, with a few
trotting and running races. Madi-

enthusiasts to a fair at Boonesboro,
which has the reputation of being
the best inland bathing beach to be
found anywhere.

Did Well With Crude Instruments.

Did Well With Crude instruments.
Long before the Christian era in
struments were made for the meas
urement of angles on the principle of
the subdivision of the circle. Thus
the ancient Egyptians laid out their
lands on the banks of the fertilizing
Nile. The instruments were crude
because ''the long result of time" had
not yet perfected them, but they an
swered their purpose well enough to
enable Eratosthenes. $50 years B. c.,
to measure the circumference of the
round earth.

Pitcairn Island,

Pitcairn island has an area of about
two miles square. The population now
is said to be about 300. The natural
food resources Of the island. chiefly
fruits, fishes and wild birds. probably
would support a population Of five
hundred. The island has no inter
course with the outside world, with
the exception Of an occasional visit
from a passing ship.

LUBRIcATINC OIL AND cASO-
LINE SWIPFD FROM OIL WELL

Somebody, who no doubt needed n
little lubricnting oil and gasoline,
visited the oil well last week during
the cold weather, when the drillers
were away and appropriated a barrel
OF oil and a quantity Of gasoline, to-
gether with number Of drillcrs
tools The property was missed
when the men went 10 work after the
storm Of last week. As u happened
the drillers found some tools in town
that could be used in the place OF
the ones stolen, otherwise the work nj
the well would have been delayed
until such tools could have been or
dcred, which would have cause de-
lay for some time.
II IL not likely that the party or
parties connected with the theft can
be apprehended. as they transferred
the oil and gas from the original
barrels 20 other vessels which left no
clue for the authorities 20 work on.

THRILLING EXPERIENCE At

Dalhart people who attended the
opening Of the Logan bridge Tues
day report a hair-raising experience
at the dedication ceremonies at
noon, when the 1900 or more peo-
pie went on board the bridge for
the formal dedication. The bridge
il 73s feet long. and 1876 feet high

arch bridges in the Southwest.

some soul-stirring music with n
rhythm that caused the immense
crowd 20 sway in time with u The
bridge itself caught up the time
and began 10 sway with the crowd,

more even after the crowd broke

serious accident was imminent II
Is reported that in the stampede
that followed there were a few who
tainted, and many who fell down.

ments, additional real estate and an
infirmary for college students.
The citizenship Of the town on raw
material spent $4,000, according 70
local dealers. This means that the
usual business depression has not pre-.
vented a steady growth. The total
Of the improvements then IL approx
mately $4,000. Practically every
dollars OF this amount has been In
vested in permanent buildings.
The coming year should show a
larger amount spent on permanent
improvements, especially since the
proposed street paving is on docket.
In addition more bricks will be plac-
ed on the south side Of the square.
One Of these will probably be used
as an armory for the Canyon con-
t.ngsnt OF National Guardsmen. With
paved streets, an adequate water sup
ply, and an ever increasing number
Of students 10 accommodate and an
increasing agricultural growth, more
business houses will be necessary and
already there is need for dwelling and
rooming houses. Consequently peo-
pie are expecting more building for
the next year than they have had
for the past twelve months.

Canyon, Feb. 2s.--Canyon, the
busy and thriving city south of ANA
rillo, has had steady growth for
the past year and anticipates a better
year In 1922. Over sixty-fiye build
inQs have been erected or remodeled
during the last twelve months. These
buildings for the most part have
been substantial modern bungalows
and represent the homes Of perman-
ent citizens. Some few houses built
during this period totaled an invest
ment Of several thousand dollars
The bulk Of the Improvement has been
In the east part of town. However,
the west end Of town has not been
slow in building. Proximity 10 the
college is probably responsible for
the east receiving the greater amount
Of improvements. Five small busl-
ness houses have been erected. How
ever, two of these were made neces-
sary by the fire which destroyed the
south side Of the square. Two BUSH
ness houses were erected adjoining
the college campus.
In interviewing Mayor ]. ID. Gam
BILE IL was learned that Canyon Is
very careful about the water supply
for her citizcns-S6, 900 having been
expended on the water plant alone.
A new well and new engine with all
new pumping equipment was Install
ed. This has assured the city of an
abundant supply Of good water. A
key rate OF 80 cents on fire insurance
Is q thing Of which the town Is proud.
The college Is also proud Of It's
water system, having erected at a
cost Of $4,000 water tower with
$4,000 gallon capacity. That a new
