BY OLE T. BENSON
ENEMIES OF INDEPENDENT LEG.
lSLATiVE CANDIDATES CLAIM
UNCOVERED TRY TO KEEP
NAME OFF BALLOT.

La Sale county's four.Cornered
ight took on new phase today with
announcement from what is indicat.
ed as very authentic sources, that
an attack is being made on the legal.
ity of Ole Benson's petitions as an
independent candidate for the legis.
lature at the Nov. 7 election.
Mr., Benson's enemies, it is said,
claim the petitions are irregular
and were not drawn in strict con,
formity to the law regarding indepen-
dent candidates.
Today, it is further said, foes of
MIR. Benson are in Springfield to OBJ
tain a ruling from the attorney gen
eral which they hope will keep the
independents name off the ballot at
the general election Whether or
not they will succeed remains for au-
thcntc adyices from Springfield to
reveal.
Three Camps "Nervous."
The advent Of Mr. Benson as an
Independent for the legislature has
caused CONSERVATION in three legis-
Iative camps. With Benson as the
unknown quantity" none of the reg,
uar republican or democratic nomi,

speculate on just what he will do
when his name goes before the peo-
pie
The result of the uncertainty has
been an intensified campaign-the
first in which legislative candidates
have had participate in many years
The while voting interest at present
is cehtered upon the race for the legis.
lature and which of the four candi-
dates will be eliminated at the cleo
tion. Benson's appearance in the
list of aspirants has moved up the
political machinery until now it is
grinding at a merry clip.
Should his foes succeed in keep
ing his name off the ballot, sailing
tor the regular nominees will be
smooth and easy If the move fails
the race will be a red hot one.

COUNTY EMPL0YE IN HOSPITAL
SKULL FRACTURED

AS the result of an accident which
happened at the Bourbon county
rock quarry, in East Paris yesterday
morning, Roger Current, superin-
tendent of machinery, at that plant,
is in the Massie Hospital, with his
skull fractured.
Employees around the plant had
been looking for Mr.. Current, who
had not been seen for some time.
An investigation disclosed him lying
at the base of the big rock crusher;
in an unconscious condition. He
was rushed to the Massie Memorial
Hospital, where an Investigation by
DR.. Chas. G. Daugherty disclosed a
fractured skull and other injuries.
Mr.. Current had gone to the
crusher to adjust some betting, and
the supposition was, in the absence
of definite information, that he had
been caught by the rapidly revolv-
ing belt and hurled with great force
against the heavy timber of the ma
chine.

PROPER SHADE FOR SHEEP RE
TURNS LARGE DIVIDENDS

Plenty of the right kind of shade
for sheep returns big dividends,
farmers and sheep raisers say. Only
one or two shade trees in pasture
are worse than none at all since a
place to which the sheep come day
after day soon becomes a hotbed for
parasites, they add. The construc-
ton of small shades which can be
moved from place to place is solving
the difficulty for many Kentucky
farmers.
A cheap permanent shade con-
structed by setting posts in the
ground to support roof of boards
is giving good results on the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton farm. The only objection found
with the structure was the fact that
the roof let water through in rainy
weather and the resting place Of the
sheep became muddy. This fault
can be remedied at somewhat in
creased cost by covering the boards
with roofing paper. The usefulness
OF such shed Is increased by plac
ting It, on runners or wheels 20 that
|it can be moved from place to place.
