From Whence Come
BOnehead Bills?

Some members of the legislature
have gray matter that is properly
protected with a bony skull. (0thers
have heads that are bone for some
distance in. A few have heads that
are solid bone. To this latter class
belong the so-called lawmakers who
are striving to do away with all the
men teachers at the Mississippi State
College for Women, and at the same
time put Doctor Fatheree out and
man doctor in. =
A young fellow once felt called
upon to preach. He went to an old
and successful clergyman and said to
him, II have been called to preach.
Everywhere ] look, ! can see the let
tiers, p. c. interpret them as
meaning, Preach Christ.
The older man examined him in
tently for a minute apd replied, mo
doubt, young man, you have seen
those letters, but you have not inter
preted their meaning accurately. P
c. in this instance means Pillow
Corn.
And thus it must be with some of
the male creatures whose bonnets
harbor legislative bees. They inter-
pref the letters, IN. L." as meaning
make Laws" when, in fact, they
mean, MAUI Logs"
To a man who knows Professor !
William Garner Burgin, Professor
Thomas F. McBeath, Doctor Dabney /
Lipscomb and Doctor Lawrence G.
Painter, the suggestion that they be
removed from the faculty of M. S. /
G. W., comes as pure, simple, unadul-
terated idiocy. There's not one of
these gentlemen but whose influence
is as good as any of the lady teachers
in this college or in any other col
lege They have been for years sub
iected to the acid test. They have
been tried in the fires of experience
and have come out unscorched. They
have been weighed in the balance and
have not been found wanting. To
remove them from the faculty because
they are men would be to render far
less useful to the state this great
school.
Consider the absolute lack Of in
telligence of socalled lawmakers who
would remove a man from the class
room because he is man, and at the
same time would displace a woman
doctor with man doctor. If you can
imagine more idiotic proposition, let
us have it, y

EDDIE CROSS

Died September IT. 1922, at her home near Mt. Moriah, our much beloved sister, neighbor and friend, Eddie Dill lard Cross. Again we are called upon to record the death of one of the best women living in Mt. Moriah cOmmun ity. Eddie had lived the greater part of her life in this community. She was 40 years, months and 17 days old, was married to John Cross in December, 1900, who survives her. To them were born 3 children, of whom God saw fit to take in their infancy.
 Several years ago she professed faith in Christ and united with the Baptist church at Bluff Springs, and had ever lived a constant member.
 She was sublime in her devotion to her God, she possessed an open and generous heart through which the sun- light of q warm genial soul shed forth it's bright and tender rays of Christian virtues She endeared herself not only to her family, but to all she was called and daughter. who spared no pains but put forth her best efforts to make her home loved spot; she possessed such pureness of heart and character, and was sOciable and amiable in manner.

of the Blue Grass League met defeat
at Lexington Sunday in the twelfth
inning by the score of to s. Flu

offender for the local, being credited
with 4. The score was s to in ia

Woman In City On
a 2,OOO-Mile Hike

Miss Edith Bull, an employee for six
months at the Woolworth Decent
store in Denver, Colorado, was offer
ed $500 IL she would walk from Dem
yer to Richmond. Virginia, dis.
lance of nearly 1000, in 80 days.
The proffer was accepted and Miss
Bull is now en- route for her destina-
ton, having started April 8. There
we're rules governing the task, Miss
Bull not being permitted change of
raiment for this period; that she
should be furnished s25 expense
money; that she must not ask assist
ance; that she could accept proffered
conveyance and should make report
back to Denver from every town and
city of note through which she pass
ed. Lightly clad, wearing low-heel,
thick-soled oxfords, with small bag
containing SIS, handkerchiefs and a
Bible, Miss Bull began her journey.
In Kansas she encountered snow
storm, the snow measuring in some
places nearly twelve inches, but, un-
daunted, she passed on. She accepted
five-mile travel on railroad, some
kind hearts offered rides in autos and
others in buggies. She made Louis
vile to Lexington in a day, leaving
Lexington at $3.50 Sunday morning,
and arrived in Mt. Sterling at $50.
She was domiciled at the Bays House
where she was cared for as a queen.

May 7 Is Colo
Sunday School Day

Next Sunday, May z, will be Ken
tuckys ninth Go-to-Sunday School
Day. 1t was in Kentucky that this
day originated and afterwards spread
to all parts of North America, and
last year was observed in Brazil in
South America. Kentucky's govern
or was the first governor to ever is
sue a proclamation inviting all peo-
pie of the state to attend Sunday
School Each year thousands of
people have accepted the invitation
and have not only come on this spe-
cial day, but many of them have be-
come regular members of the Sunday
School.
Invitations are being extended by
every Sunday School in Kentucky to
everybody in the state to come to

ISOLATION that has promoted this day
for the last ten years has been in

lucky that makes Kentucky rank
near the top in the percentage of the
people of the state attending Sunday
School, and in the character of the
work that is being done by the Sun
day Schools. 1t has not only helped
in getting the people to come to
Sunday School, but it has also sug-
gested provrams for that special day
and for the following up the day, and
has been the means of placing the
Bible in thousands Of homes in the
state.
The value of such a day as this
was recognized by all right thinking
citizens of the state. There has been
the heartiest cooperation on the part

leaders in Sunday School work Of the
different denominations; the pastors

who are the officers In our state,
county and towns. These have all
united year after year in emphasizing
the great benefit to the people of
Kentucky in knowing and obeying
the will of God.
There are still hundreds of thou
sands of people in Kentucky who
are not attending Sunday School and
church, and an earnest effort is be-
ing made to add at least one hunl
dred thousand of these to the per-
manent membership of the Sunday

Other Sunday Games
Maysville defeated Cynthiana by
the score of 5 to at Maysville in a
well-played game, featured by one
home run for each team. Mcdonald
and Einemann were the opposing
pitchers.
Paris defeated Winchester at Paris
by the score of to 6, the opposing
pitchers being Moser and McCord

Winchester's third defeat, tying her
with Mt. Sterling for the cellar po-
sition.
The locals will play 'at Paris on
Thursday and are expected to pre-

take the Bourbon county boys into
camp. Just a little more PEP and
team work and we can take the best

Fruit Crops Have
Escaped Frost Hurt

Reports from all over Central Ken
lucky and from Eastern Kentucky
indicate that the damage from frost
of early Sunday morning a week ago
was heavier than at first indicated,
but the major portion of the fruit
crop which was seriously endanger-
ed is safe thus far. Fruit and other
vegetation in low places suffered
most, but that on higher ground es-
capped practically unframed, accord
ing to reports. The temperature
dropped to the vicinity of freezing,
and lower in some sections.
The danger from frost is not yet
entirely over, however, H. F. Hillen-
meyer, veteran Fayette county
nurseryman, pointed out Saturday.
An examination of his weather and
crop records for the last several de-
cades, he said, showed that since
1883 there have been damaging
frosts in May 10 times. Twice in
that period of time, both times on
May 20, there were disastrous frosts,
he stated.
Aided, it is hoped, by a continu-
ton of the almost ideal weather of
the last several days, farmers of this
section this week will launch into
the work of preparing ground and
planting corn, which, indications are,
will be completed before the urgency
of setting out tobacco, which will
start probably the next two weeks.
Most of the oats already have been
planted, but that which remains
probably will be completed this week.
Farmers also are busy preparing the
ground for tobacco.
Tobacco plants are showing up ex-
ceedingly well, according to reports,
considering all circumstances, and
should be plentiful and in good con-
dition this year.
The rainfall in April was 6.67
inches, or two inches or more above
the normal for this section, and this
prevented blowing and preparing the
ground. The rains of April IA pack
ed the ground and difficulty has been
experienced getting it into condition.
The ground now is cloddy and rough
and farmers are experiencing diff
Guilty in preparing good seed beds, &C
cording to reports.
The cool weather the first of the
week, while interfering with prepare
ton of ground, was valuable in that
it aided in the recovery of the plants
damaged by the frost The major
work of the next two weeks will be

District Conference

ports concerning the objects foster

much concern. The churches showed
activity with encouraging results.
The delegation was a good represen-

Discussions were snappy and in
the best spirit, and the meeting, con-
sidered from every viewpoint, was
helpful, imparting an enthusiastic

The reports from the pastors en-

Such a report came from the pas

considered a great meeting for this
denomination.
