ONE OF CALIFORNIA IS
GPEAV WON

So far as noted, no list = of great
women vet suggested has contained the
name of Helen Hunt Jackson, author
of Ramona, story that blazed the
way for the present interest in the In
dian race. The book had human IN
terest in it, the romance was pretty
and winning, and it was widely read
more than 30 years ago. Because II
did have a big meaning, it is still read.
Mrs Atwood of Riverside has been
responsible for awakening clubwomch
on the subject of the American Indian
and the world is learning something OF
the injustice that has been done him, o.
his art and music and pottery, all OF
which have a real value when under
stood. Their traditions and methods OF
life are also found to be definite III
purpose, their religion to be based on
deep spirituality and their history to
be full of thrilling interest. We are
Just on the threshold of the subject as
yet, but Helen Hunt Jackson, friend
to the American Indian when it was
not easy to be his friend, blazed the
trail and her name might well grace
any list of women said to have achieV-
| ed something that will be Of lasting
worth to civilization.

MIRRORS OF WASHINGTON

MIRRORS OF WASHINGTON
Nobody knows who wrote the book
and probably the passing years will
bring regret to the author because he
has done cruel bit of work that has
brought pain to the men of whom he
has written and their families:
Everybody in these days recognizes
the value of constructive criticism and
those who serve, however fine they
NAV be, are sure to be criticised to
some extent, but if the work is OF
value, the game is worth the candle.
But Mirrors of Washington is so
wholly vitriolic; the character analysis
| is so destructive that it gives pain
rather than pleasure to the reader.
whether he be anything of a hero wor-
| shipper or not.
Harding, Wilson, Hughes, Hoover,
johnson, Borah, Lansing, House, John
] son and others-he just shreds their
! character and leaves them bare of re-
deeming qualities or characteristics OF
greatness. Yet some of these men have
done the world great service, some of
| them at least have minds that have
wrought great things; all are not pig
mics and of little mean souls, as the
writer pictures them.
Some of the pictures are true and no
doubt all of the men treated have de
fects in their character. Some of them
Fare commonplace, some selfish to de
gree and self seeking, some are profes
sional polite ians-but all have redeem
ing qualities and if the mirror were en-
tirelv true to life, these qualities would
shine forth amidst the shortcomings as
beacon lights to preserve the faith OF
the reader in mankind.

"a percent below the 1914 value

Entertainment a Success

The entertainment given b Y
the LADIES' Aid Of the Nj. +.
Church Saturday night was a de.
cided success. The house was
crowded full and nothing could
have been more enjoyable than
the program rendered. L h e y
realized $76.45. This money will
be spent for repairs on the Meth
Odist Church.
This entertainment, with pro-
gram slightly changed, but by the
same people, will be given at
Stanton Friday, March 10Th. We
recommend this entertainm ent
to the people of that place as be-
ing worthy and very enjoya BILE.
They will also give the preform-
ance again in Clay City at the
close of school for the benefit of
those who were unable to attend
Saturday.

Shameful Acts

Some very ugly and shameful
acts have taken place in
the Kentucky Senate this week
the cause of which seems to be
over who shall spend that $50,
600, 900 90 road bonds. If such
proceedings are to precede the
bonds ii is better to not vote any.
1t has been our observation all
along that much road money often
causes a great deal of trouble.
Peace and harmony with bad
roads are more to be desired
than riots, grating and eXtrav-
agance, wasteful expenditures
with but taste of good rOaos.
While not a necessity the latter
troubles always appear when the
money is at command.

Unsprayed Bugs Cut
Fruit Yield Heavily

Failure of farmers to spray
their fruit trees at the proper
time of the year to control insect
pests, is one of the several main
causes for the low average pro-
duction of peach and apple trees
in Kentucky, experienced fruit
men say. The largest census
gives the average production of
bearing apple trees as slightly
more than one.fourth pecks and
that of bearing peach trees as a
little more than peck. San Jose
Scale and peach leaf curl are the
particular pests demanding at.
tention at tins time of the year.
Apple trees should be sprayed
with dormant spray of CONNER
cial lime sulphur using one part
of the material to eight or ten of
water In order to control San
Jose scale, according to orchard
lists at the Kentucky Agricultu'
raj Experiment Station. Since
it is important that this pest be
controlled before the leaves be.
gin to appear, 1t is essential that
the spray be applied as soon as
the weather conditions permit.
Spraying peach trees with self.
boiled lime sulphur composed OF
ID pounds of lime, Is pounds Of
sulphur and so gallons of water
controls both the San Jose scale
and peach leaf curl.

A petition is being circulated
IN Estill county to call an election
TO vote on the proposition to issue
and sell $270, 900 in bonds to build
roads and bridges in that county.
Five roads are TO be built out
from Irvine wa: To the Madison
county line; the Jackson county
line; to the Lee county line; to
the Powell county line and TO the
Clark county line. Two bridges
are also to be built in the county,
as per the outline Gf County
Judge Sproul. The Clark and
Powell county roads will be the
same leaving Irvine and will
probably intersect at Harg for
the two counties. 1t is estimated
that the present oil production
tax and the 20 cent road tax vot-
ed in this county few years ago,
will be sufficient to pay the bonds
with no increase of the county
levy.

provide decent burial for a poor

The family of the woman who

and an aged mother. were in a
destitute condition yesterday
morning. Early last evening they
held hopes of being sent back to
their old home in Kentucky
where the woman's body may be
buried.
Since the husband came here on
a railroad pass an effort is being
made to obtain return passes for
himself, the children and the
body. If this is possible the old
mother will be sent back to her
home on the surplus money do

A STENOGRAPRER'S ROMANCE

good? Seeing a girl laying on one
of them slabs would take all the
bad out of anyone, 7 guess. Just
think Of Della having nerve
enough to kill herself - because
she loved n man who had no right
to make her love him and then
married someone else! wish l
could find him, and see him lX-
ing on a slab right next to her!
The scoundrel! l hope l know
who he is some day. II ever DO
he'll hear q few things about him-
self. He's the kind them travel
ing men at Miss Carter's used 70
talk about--they think was cute
because they fooled some poor girl,
then left them. Damn Aim-and
all men like him!
Don't, Neilel You will make
yourself SICK" Cora begged, But
Nellie never spoke again until they
reached home.
II was a trying day Cor all, and
thew welcomed william when he
came. But he could not help them,
even though he felt as they did
that it was terrible to have the
CITY bury Della. Finally, he took
Cora out for n walk, leaving Nell
lie and Gladys alone.
"Nellie, I--almost--went that
way once-almost gave up every
thing to man I--cared for"
"You, Gladys

il, Nellie-being alone. He was

lonesomeness, the having no home
