RAINS BADLY NEEDED
IN PARTS OF STATE
Hilly Sections of Kentucky Are Suffer-
Ing for Good Rains-CentraI and
Western Sections Have Showers.

A summary of weather and crop
conditions in Kentucky for the week
ending Tuesday, September 2, 1922 fol-
lows:
The first five days were hot and dry,
intensifying drought conditions in the
western half of the state, but favor
able for maturing late crops where
moisture was sufficient. The week
ended with beneficial lacal showers in
the central and western counties, fol-
lowed by much cooler weather. Late
corn, tobacco, and potatoes continued
TO improve in the northwestern coun-
ties, where these crops are in a fairly
good condition; but there was little
growth in the western section, where
their condition is poor except on bot
tom lands. Corn and tobacco are "fir-
ing" on hill upland. The showers late
in the week afforded some relief local
ly in the central and western sections
but the rainfall was not sufficient to
start general growth of crops or grass
Reports indicate that the late potato
crop is a failure in much of the west
ern section. Early tobacco, much re-
duced in yield by dought, is now in
barn and curing rapidly. Cutting of
early corn has commenced generally,
but progress was slow because of the
hot, dry weather. Some plowing was
done in the northeastern counties, but
very little in other sections because of
the hard, dry soil. This work can not
proceed until heavy rains occur. The
weather was favorable for cutting and
curing alfalfa and cowpea hay, but the
yields have been reduced by drought.
Pastures revived somewhat in the
northeastern district, but they are bad
ly died in the hilly district of the CEN
trail and western section. Stock water
continues short in many localities.

CTO BE CONTINUED
MIND YOUR OWN Blu SINESS-By Dorothy Dix

His wife on the contrary, stands over her
female employee, and nags her to death. She
tells her the same thing over million times,
and considers that she has a right to inter-
fere in every detail of the girls private life.
Wherefore the girl leaves when the inquisi-
tion gets too great to be borne.
One of the great tragedies of life is that
millions of homes that would otherwise be
happy, are made perfectly miserable by the
presence in them of either the wits mother
or tn husbands mother. Statistics show
that the mother-in-law causes more divorces
than drunkenness, infediity, or any other
cause of domestic strife.
The most fendish homewrecker could do
no more harm than those women accomplish
and yet ninety -nine times out of a hundred
they the very salt of the earth. They
are good, kind women. They have been noble
and self-sacrificing mothers and they adore
their children and would cheerfulIy die to
secure their happiness.
There is just one sacrifice too big for them
to make, and that is to let them live their
lives in their own way. There is just one
heighth to which they cannot rise, and that
is to let them manage their own business
For the JOY of interfering and bossng their
children's homes, they are willing to break
up that home, wreck a marriage that would
have endured but for them and orphan their
helpless little grandchildren.
This is putting the matter brutally but it
is the brutal truth and it's ptifully true be-
cause it need not be true.
If mother could only make up her mind to
keep her hands off her children's affairs
she would be welcome and not an unwel-
come inmate in their homes. But she can't
do it. She is bound to interfere She can
not see daughters husband eat what he likes
without telling him how bad it is for his
stomach. She can't permit him to smoke
without warning him that he will wreck his
nerves She can't let him go out nights
without asking where he is going.
In countless homes today old women are
weeping because they know their children
don't want them. To these I offer SOW
ereign remedy for the situation. 1t is: Mind
your own business. Quit interfering in your
chldrens affairs. That will settle the whole
problem.

The Outline of History-By H. @. Wells
|. The Romance of Mother Earth

and maintained for many centuries their mil
itary capacity. Their soldiers carried long
spears and shields, and fought in close for
nation. Sumerians conquered Sumerians.
Sumeria remained unconquered by any
stranger race for very long period of time
indeed. They developed their civiliza-
ton, their writing, and their shipping,
through period that may be twice as long
as the whole period from the Christian era to
the present time.
The first of all known empires was that
founded by the high priest Of the god of the
Sumerian city of Eirech 1t reached, says an
inscription at Nippur, from the Lower per
sian Gulf to the Upper Mediterranean or
Red?) Sea. Among the mud heaps of the
Euphrates-Tigris valley the record of that
vast period of history, that first half of the
Age Of Cultivation, is buried. There flour
ished the first temples and the first priest
rulers that we know of among mankind
Upon the western edge of this country ap-
peared nomadic tribes of Semitic speaking
peoples who traded, raided and fought with
the Sumerians for many generations. Then
arose at last a great leader among these
Semites, Sargon (2,750 B. CO., who united
them, and not only conquered the Sumerians,
but extended his rule from beyond the Per-
sian Gulf on the east to the Mediterranean on
the west. His own people were called the
Akkadians and his empire is called the
Sumorian Akkadian empire. 1t endured for
over two hundred years.
gave a king to the Sumerian cities, it was the
Sumeran civilization which prevailed over
the simpler Semitic culture.
The newcomers learned the Sumerian writ
ing (the "cuneiform" writing) and the Sumo
rian language; they set up no Semitic writ
ing of their own. The Snmerian language
became for these barbarians the language of
knowledge and power, as Latin was the Ian
guage of knowledge and power among the
barbaric peoples of the middle ages in Eu-
rope. This Sumerian learning had a very
great vitality 1t was destined to survive
through a long series of conquests and
changes that now bega-- in the valley OF the
two rivers.
The Beginnings of Babylon
AS the people of the Sumerian Akkadian
empire lost their political and military Vigor,
fresh foundations Of a warlike people began
from the east, the Elamites while from the
west came the Semitic Amorites, pnching the
Sumerian Akkadian empire between them.
The Amorites settled in what was at first a
small upriver town named Babylon; and
after hundred years of warfare became
masters of all Mesopotamia under a great
king, Hammurabi (2,100 B. CO. /, who found
ed the first Babylonian empire.
Again came peace and security and de-
cline in aggressive prowess, and in another
hundred years fresh 'nomads from the east
were invading Babylonia, bringing with them
the horse and the war chariot, and setting up
their own king in Babylon.

The greatest art in the world is the art of
letting other people alone, for it requires a
sense Of justice and superhuman forbear-
ance and self-control to which few mortals
ever attain.
1t is this mania for bossing other people
that has given us the pest of reformers who
have devoured almost the last of our per-
sonal liberties, and who make laws telling us
what we shall eat, and what we shall drink,
what we shall wear how long our skirts
shall be, whether shall have babies or
not, and how we shall bring up our children.
1t is the collective busy-bodies, male and
female, who are the curse of the modern
world, and especially of America where they
exists in numbers unknown elsewhere.
Occasionally you see a man who is letting
his fellow creatures live their own lives in
peace without any interference, and who
considers that other people have a right to
manage their own affairs in their own way,
but woman who doesn't think that she has
divine call to run the universe is such a
rarity that she could draw good money in a
sideshow as a freak of nature.
Somehow, for some ineXplicable reason, no
woman can see anybody else making a pie
without having an irresistible impulse to put
her finger into it, although she is perfectly
well aware before she does so, that she will
not only spoil the pie, but burn her own
finger to the bone, into the bargain.
1t is woman's inability to mind her own
business and let other people mind theirs,
that is at the bottom of most of the troubles
of which she complains.
1t is the real crux of the servant question,
for one thing. Women are always wonder
ing why it is that their husbands can keep
the same stenographers and bookkeepers and
clerks year after year while they have a
constant procession of maids in and out of
the kitchen. The reason is that a man ex-
plains the work that he wishes done to a
female employe, and then let's her go ahead
and do it in her own way. He is concerned
only with results, and he doesn't stand over
her, and Interfere with every move she
makes. Nor does he arrogate to himself the
right to tell her what she shall wear out of
business hours, what beaux she shall have,
and where she shall go.
