IN these democratic days, with

The frank affability which pre-
walls between men and women in
America, especially when banded

sport, is prone to make the stern
sex remiss about observing the
nicsties Of polite usage and to
make "the female Of the species"
indulgently overlook such lapses.
They do these things differently

Keeping a Cool Head

BECAUSE your hat is the last thing
- you put on is no reason why it
should be considered the last in the
theme of dress. The only hot-weather
hat many men could call by name
is a straw hat. Yet there are sheaves
of special stuffs and shapes for spe-

canoeing and from white flannel to
white felt, not forgetting straw, pith

BINGHAM LAW COPIED BY
OTHER INTERESTS

Passage of the Bingham Cooper
ative Marketing Act and the prac-
teal demonstration of it's benefits
in the disposal of the 1921 hurley
tobacco crop, has furnished the
stimulus and resulted in the organ
ization of a number of associations
of growers devoted to the production
of other specialized agricultural
crops in Kentucky.
Strawberry and grass seed grow
ers were quick to take advantage of
the law affording a systematic and
feasible marketing plan that gives
the producer some say in the dispo-
sition of his crop. The indications
are that in time the Bingham law
will be adopted by the growers of
other commodities in organizing as
sociations for their mutual benefit
and better returns for what thsy
raise.
The Bingham law has been on
the statute books only a few months
but already it has demonstrated that
it is boon to the agricultural in
terests of the State.

QUEER LEGAL QUESTION OVER
$400 OVERDRAFT

A knotty legal tangle that may
go to the State Supreme Court be-
fore final determination is disclosed
in the trial of E. H. Cunningham, of
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on a charge
of grand larceny.
The facts, according to the indict-
ment upon which he will be tried
are that Cunningham carried an ac-
count with the Ohio State Bank
and Trust Company, and that, upon
inquiring his balance, was told that
it was $414. He wrote a check and
drew this amount. 1t is declared,
however, that his actual balance
was $14.
The defense asserts that Cunning
ham made no false statements and
that the money was paid him vol
unfairly.

CHICKENS DRINK ILLICIT BEER
WHIP BULLDOG

Inebriate chickens on his farm
have so incensed George w. Perry,
on the Dayton pike, near Dayton,
KY, that he has asked James M.
Wood, prohibition agent, to appre-
bend the person or persons who
furnish the fowls with moonshine
whisky.
1t has been an all too common
sight on his farm for several days,
Perry said, for the chickens to be
trying stunts that mother nature
never intended they should attempt.
A heretofore meek old hen was OBJ
served to be trying to fight bull
dog, finally putting the dog to
flight. The reason, Perry told
Wood, is that moonshiners operat-
ing somewhere in the neighborhood
had poured their mash on his farm
and the chickens partook literally
of it.
The spree was fatal to some of the
chickens.

LIQUID FUEL
washington Starr

For a long time liquid fuel was
employed only for steam production,
but an indication of the wide appli-
cation that it may have in many
forms of industry is afforded by the
experience of the owners of a large
glass mandatory at South Hack
ney, in England. The experiments
there were begun more than ten
years ago and after overcoming
many difficulties, special form of
burner was evolved which appears
to be entirely satisfactory. Four to
five thousand gallons of oil are
burned every week with perfect
combustion and a total absence of
smoke, and the temperature obtain
ed ranges from that of bakers
oven to that required for melting
crucible steel. Elsewhere in Eng
land liquid fuel has been applied to
such industries as the distillation Of
petroleum, steel smelling, heating
the kilns for the production of art
tile glazing, carbonizing electric
light filaments and heating furnaces
of various kinds.

"You can go to Europe for twelve

you must die; second, you must be
cremated; third, your ashes must

According to figures compiled by
the Postoffice Department every man
in the United States sent one special
delivery letter and every other man
received a reply, or, in the event it
is the women who are the biggest
users of the delivery stamp. Every
woman sent one and every other
woman received one in reply. The
general belief that these rush letters
are assorted with summer time, or
love time, was given a rude shock
when the figures disclosed that more
specials are sent in the last quarter
Of the year. The negro is the most
extensive user of the oblong stamp,
some of them putting one on each
letter they send, whether to carry

The new special delivery stamp
and the proposal to change other
stamps designs has opened a fertile
field of imagination and the Post

suggestions for undermining it's post

The suggestions cover a wide
range and are not confined to stamps

HELP THE CHILDREN'S HOME
SOCIETY

So great is the problem of the
homeless child in Kentucky; so in
tertwined with church, school and
society that the only institution in
the State, the Kentucky Children S
Home Society, is taxed to capacity
and must construct another building
if hundreds are to be given shelter
and a home.
More than 100000 is needed and
to raise this sum the Society will
start Immediately campaign
throughout the various counties and
in the schools that the donations by
the children may build the third
unit of the cottage village at Lyn-
don, as a memorial dedicated to the
homeless little ones.
For a quarter of a century the So
ciety was housed in Louisville in an
old row of residences. George L.
Sehon, superintendent, struggled
for a decade to raise money to buy
the 81 acre tract at Lyndon and last
spring his dreams were realized
when the first two units of the vii
lage were completed and ready for
occupancy. To the new home were
moved 100 little children. Despite
the lateness of the year, each boy
began planting a garden, with the
result that enough food was raised
to supply the table and to can and
preserve more than 1000 gallons of
food for winter use.
AT this time, to withhold help
from the Kentucky Children's Home
Society means the counties must
take up the work of caring for the
homeless hundreds in the State,
with the attendant increase in
county taxes and the increase in de-
linquency through the evil sur
roundings of the poorhouses in
which they must find shelter.
For this humanitarian cause, the
people of the State are asked for
100000 by Christmas in order that
work may be started by early spring.
