Il 10 Kentucky.

There is one thing to be said about
making a Big Sandy Valley town the
site Of the next State Normal School,
and that is that the Big Sandy Valley
is in Kentucky. and a lot Of Kentuck-
ians seem not to know 1t or to know
where 1t is. That is to say the people
Of other sections Of the State hold so
little communication with the Big San
dy Valley that its residents cannot be
blamed If they look upon ohians and
West virginians as their best neigh
bors.
The State Normal School should not
be made 'porx' as the term Is used in
politics, even to cement friendship
with the Big Sandy Valley, but it is
not low politics to consider the claim
of that part Of the State with refer
ence to the usefulness Of such an in
stitution here and with reference to
the fact that the State has done little
or nothing for the Big Sandy region

HAS NO FAITH IN
DIVINE HEALER's CLAIMS
AKRON, ohio. June 2s, 1922.

ahIOiif ShAbt ~ AN-~f
Pardon me for this brief item. but
since noticing the articles In the
NEWS in regard to the Divine Heal
ers'' stun, wish TO enter my judgment
and comments in support OF the idea
and Judgment OF "old Lem Jucklens'
herein.
| am native OF dear old Lawrence
county, Kentucky, and after having
spent few years in this city and per-
sonally know quite bit about this
fanatical movement as is practiced
here among the uniformed people
who are ready to accept mos, any
kind OF new and strange doctrine"
and having observed the fallacy OF
such frenzied utterances OF free
thinkers" ! wish to warn my people,
the people of Dennis and vicinity a
gainst any such doctrine that this wo-
man from Chicago is endued with
divine power to heal anyone.
We nave no record since the Apos-
tolic days that any person has ever
directly or Indirectly healed anyone.
The days OF divine healing Justly be-
long to the days OF long ago, No long
er is II necessary to perform those
wonderful things once so miraculously
done. because we live in different
dispensation filled with the light OF
divine truth and we need no miracu-
lous thing be done to prove the power
of God.
| (out of curiosity attended one Of
those meetings of divine healing
and II appeared TO be farce and abb
surd. The persons or participants OF
the wonderful cure-all'' meeting tes-
tilted that they were sanctified and
above sin, but which | am assured by
the word of God was about as true as
their being healed by the self-styled
demi-god preacher In charge, OBJ
served that his (victims) that is, his
followers all departed from the meet
ing just in the same physical condi
ton as to health as when they pros
trated themselves before the demi-god.
There is much power In prayer and
God viii help us when We can not
help ourselves, but / fail TO UNDER
stand that any man has a super-pow-
er to effect a divine healing In this
modern day. We must pay the penalty
when we violate natures law in re-
gard to health and look to reputable
physicians TO give US treatment for
our diseases. FRIEND.

One of the worst crimes that has
been committed in this country was
the cold blooded murder of party of
men, somewhere between % and 40, in
coal field in Illinois few days ago.
The bed of coal lies near the surface
and is removed with steam shovels,
after stripping the soil off. Striking
miners attacked the men and they sur
rendered without resistance. They
were marched into the woods and shot
to death, some of the bodies being
thrown into deep pond, with rocks
: tied to their bodies. Nearly a score of
the bodies recovered were buried with
out being identified. The whole affair
was one of the most savage and in
. excusable crimes ever committed in
the United States.

Congress is working on two propo-
sitions that favor certain lines of bus
mess at the expense of the taxpayers.
One is to pay a subsidy to United
States owners of ships sufficient to
give them profit over all COMPETE
ton. Hundreds of millions of dollars
each year would be paid out of tax
money collected from the people. The
other is a tariff bill carrying the high
est rates ever proposed, levying tax
on every person in the United States
to guarantee manufacturers handsome
profits. The feature Of basing the
tariff on American valuation or inn
ported goods rather than the price at
which they are acquired in foreign
countries is the most dangerous pro-
. vision ever put into tariff bill.

 Be careful of that" Fatty warned him.
 What's in it?" Uncle Sammy ask ed.
 "Corn.' said Fatty.
 Don't worry! I'll take good care of it." Uncle Sammy promised.
 Now bring on your dinner" Fatty ordered.
 Uncle Sammy began to hustle about. And soon he set a dish in front of Fatty
 "The first course Is corn" he an- nounced with a smirk.
 Fatty Coon was pleased He liked corn Quickly he ate every kernel.
 Next course." he bawled.
 Uncle Sammy snatched away the empty dish and hurried out of the room, to return shortly with the same dish. which he set down as before.
 This course is corn" he said glib ly.
 We'll, Fatty thought that was a bit odd. But he liked corn. So he ate what was in the dish and said noth- ing, until he had finished it. Then he called loudly, Next course"

Why don't you come to my eating house for a meal?' Uncle Sammy Coon asked Fatty Coon one day. Al the other folks in the neighborhood come and eat at my place
 "Well,' Uncle Sammy, Fatty re- piled, I'd come-eXcept for just one thing"
 What's that?" Uncle Sammy in- quired.
 T don't believe I'd get enough to eat''
 Uncle Sammy Coon promptly flew into rage. T give the biggest and best meals to be had anywhere, he declared. You give them ?"
 Well er-no! sell them-of course" Uncle Sammy admitted. Just you come and try my dinner tonight He said so much that at last Fatty agreed to dine with him that evening.
 Now, Fatty had huge appetite. And as the day wore on he began to fear that he wouldn't get enough to eat at Uncle Sammys place. So he set to work and gathered up a bag full of corn, which he found down near Farmer Greens corncrib.
 When the dinner hour arrived, down at Uncle Sammys eating house beside Black Creek, Fatty stepped through the doorway with his bag slung over his shoulder.
 I'm glad to see you!" Uncle Sam my cried. "sit right down." And he

"BACHELOR DAYso AT PALACE.

Thomas Meighan, Paramount star, and his well balanced cast, in cluding Leatrice Joy, leading woman, and five famous screen kiddies, Char lotte Jackson, Barbara Maier, Bruce Guerin and the mischievious DeBriac Twins, present a splendid perform ance of "The Bachelor Daddy which was shown at the Palace theater yes- terday and will continue the rest of the week.
 Four good acts of Keith vaudeville complete the bill Among the queer est cases of wrong identification re- sulting from the fatalities of the late war is that of Joe Peters; and the oldest part of it all is that the inn personation of another character was done deliberately While it might sound even more strange, the truth is that the impersonation was made to further worthy cause.
 Such apparent contradictions form the basis of the after-the war drama of tender emotions and heart throbs presented by Richard Barthelmess in his latest starring picture at the Palace starting Sunday, Sonny In his role of Joe Peters, a waterfront and poolroom character, the star as- sumes the identity of Sonny Crosby

 Fatty Coon grumbled a bit in an undertone.
 T should think he might serve something else for a change he | muttered. But he ate the third dish full of corn, though he told himself that he might as we'll have had his dinner at home, for he had plenty of corn in his bag. He had hoped Uncle Sammy would serve some such dainty as fish, or frogs, or mice. Next course." he ordered present. ly. And don't bring corn. want something different"
 Uncle Sammy Coon shook his head.
 T haven't anything else today" he explained.
 Then I don't want anything more " Fatty old him angrily. T wish I hadn't come here. I expected hun dred and one different kinds of food"
 Well, you've had the one, any, how said Uncle Sammy with a grin. That's half what you expected Come back some other day and get the other half-the hundred" Fatty Coon didn know whether Uncle Sammy was joking or not Give me my bag of corn" he said in gruff voice. I'm going now"
 Your bag of corn!" Uncle Sammy explained. T can't give it to you'
 But you promised to take good care of it." Fatty reminded him.
 And so I have taken the best Of care of it. Uncle Sammy answered. T emptied your bag into my own bin of corn, where it would be safe"
 Then fill my bag at once and lat me be on my way!"
 T can't" said Uncle Sammy Coon. T can't tell your corn from mine It's all mixed up in the bin''
 Fatty Coon begged and threatened. But Uncle Sammy Coon wouldn't move a single step toward his corn bin. He merely handed Fatty his empty bag and bade him be gone.
 Gritting his eeth, Fatty took the bag and started for the door. And then Uncle Sammy sopped him with a sudden cry.
 You haven't paid me for your dinner" he growled.
 Paid you You haven't paid me for my corn,' Fatty retorted.
 Certainly not! I don't buy food. I sell it. Uncle Sammy replied.
 AS Fatty took his next step toward the door Uncle Sammy leaped at him. Fatty was glad hen that the bag was empty. He shook it.open and pulled 1t over Uncle Sammys head. And tipping the old rogue over, Fatty tied the bag about his feet, leaving him to lie upon the floor, and make the most shocking sounds.
 There Uncle Sammy's wife, Aunt Amanda, found him. long after Fat ty Coon had gone. And they had to go out and find something for their own dinner, because the neighbors had come in, while Uncle Sammy was helpless, and eaten everything in the eating house.

DOUGHNUTS

BY BERTHA E. SHAPLEIGH
 Of Columbia University
 l 4 cups sugar
 l tablespoon butter
 eggs
 l cup sweet milk
 cups flour
 1 teaspoon soda
 ? teaspoons cream tartar
 1 teaspoon salt
 l teaspoon nutmeg
 Beat together the sugar, butter and eggs Add milk and flour sifted with soda, cream tarter, salt and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly, and add from one-half to one cup flour or sufficient flour to make a stiff dough which will drop from the spoon.
 Place in ice box or in q cold place over night or for several hours.
 Roll, cut and fry.
 Many cooks find it difficult to make doughnuts which. if they keep their shape when cut are too stiff.
 The housekeeper who gives this recipe makes the best tasting and best keeping doughnuts the writer has ever eaten. She attributes her suc- cess to the small amount of flour used and the standing for long enough time to make it possible to handle a soft dough.
