Their many friends are delighted
over the visit of District Attorney
Sawyer A. Smith and Mrs. Smith,
who came in the end of last week
for few days. Mr.. Smith has most
decidedly made good in the impor-
tant once he is now filling and the
prediction that people would know
he was around, made by the Advo-

has been verified. No one who
knows him will deny his courage
and he has tackled every difficult

BIG DIAMOND ROBBERY
Actress Loses Her Jewels

Mrs. Lewis Sacker, ingenue lady
at the Paramount Tent Theatre, lost
100000 worth of diamonds. most
ly family heirlooms, on Tuesday
night when thieves entered the
dressing room of te ladies and took
a pocketbook containing the jewels
and about $500 in cash. The po-
lice found the pocketbook with some
small change still in it in a ditch
1t is believed one of the thieves
caught a train for Pineville and an
arrest has been made there.
The pocketbook was used to prop
the mirror and Mr.. Russell is of
the opinion the thieves waited for
an opportune moment when the
dressingroom was empty to raise the
flap of the tent and grab what they
could. The nights receipts were in
a couple of sacks and were untouch-
ed showing the hurry of the thieves.

Luther Burbank, plant wizard,
will celebrate the fiftieth anniver-
sary OF his first creation by pre-
senting the world six new peaches
la new prune, a new plum and new
hectarine.
Z Burbank announced Thursday

ed such a stage of perfection that
he was preparing next year, when
he celebrates the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Burbank potatoe," 4"
his first contribution to horticul-
tural science, to introduce them
to growers.
The peaches are especially pleas
ing to Burbank, who declares they
are the closest approach to persec-
ton in size, color and flavor he has
ever seen.
The new prune is larger than
the ordinary one, extremely sweet,
has a brilliant orange color and
dries on the ground without the
customary dipping" process.-Kan-

OLD HICKORY MOUNTAIN
STABLES OF BARBoURVILIIE

These horses will show at Corbin
next week, being shipped from Shell
byville, KY, to Corbin this week.
Their show record at Shelbyville
was very satisfactory. Gloria won
$4,000 in the saddle classes. The
Feudist has been shown twelve
times and won twelve First prem
iums. Sara Kathleen has not made
a show yet on account of gravel in
her fore foot. We are in hopes she
will be able to show at Corbin in the
$4,000 saddle stake. This saddle
stake amounts to more money than
any one fair within a radius of sixty
miles will pay out in their whole
premium list.
We have added one more show
mare to our stable, Vendetta, a two
year old. She has never been beaten
in her class and by the best horse
men of Kentucky is considered as
the best flly on the fair circuit.
The Tri-County Fair at Corbin
next week will be we'll worth attend
ing. Show horses from Louisville,
Shelbyville, Harrodsburgh, Danville,
and other points in Kentucky will
be on hand. The trotting races,
pacing races, running races and sad
die classes will be worth any per-
sons time. The large amphitheatre
will seat 1000 people and there is
ample room for everything else that
goes to make a high class fair
where a man can take his family
and feel that they will learn some-
thing.

UNION SERVICES CLOSED

The Sunday evening union SER
vices which we're held during the
months of July and August were
brought to a close Sunday night.
Rev. A. A. Ford preached a forceful
sermon in which he sketched the
life of Christ and His temptations
making application of these teach
ings to present day living.
A feature of these services has
been the singing. Many beautiful

the harmony was quite perfect and
the sentiment appealing.
1t is to be hoped that those who
have formed the habit of lingering

SHOULD WE NOT DO ITP

In looking into the matter
of cost for maintaining an all time
health officer for Knox County,
which would 0e under tht super
vision of the Fiscal Court and the
State Board of Health, we find that
one half of one mil would render
from $4,000 to $4,000 in taxation
to be devoted to this purpose. We
further learned that this amount
would be supplemented by a like
sum from the State. The death of
one actual producer, much more
than equals the sum mentioned in
loss to the community.
The employment Of an all time
health officer VIII mean the saving
of the lives of present producing
adults and also of those who will
produce in the future. From the
standpoint of dollars and cents,
can we afford to let people die thru
our great neglect in not employing
a competent health officer, even
apart from the humanitarian aspect
of the question
Winter will soon be upon us with
its numerous cases of sickness, con-
tagious and otherwise and Knox
County has no health officer in
fact. 1t will be we'll that our Fiscal
Court should earnestly consider
the defect in our health matters
and find means to raise enough
money. with help from the State
to insure a medical man who will
give his whole time to look after
the public health in all its rami-
fications. To stand still, means to
retrograde. Human lives are more
precious than a little extra taxa
tion.

FARM BLOC SCORES
SWEEPING VICTORY

Washington, Feb. 8.-The house CO.
operative marketing bill, measure
designed to aid the agricultural i'll
terests and pressed by the farm bloc
was passed by the senate late today.
Only one vote that of Senator Gerry
democrat. Rhode Island was cast
against the measure.
Two other senators, Brandegee, re-
publican, Connecticut, and King,
democrat, Utah were paired against
the measure and withheld their votes.
The vote was SO to 1, and the SEN
ate's action was regarded by some as
the most sweeping of the victories
yet attained by the farm bloc.
AS passed by the senate, the bill
retains provisions which relieve CO.
operative associations from applica-
tion of laws prohibiting trusts or
unfair business practices and placing
authority to determine when such acts
have been committed with the secre-
tary of agriculture. The senate ju-
dietary committees substitute would
have made the associations amena-
BILE to the present laws, and it was
around this point debate revolved.
The most important of the amend
ments, accepted by the senate was
one providing "that the associations
shall not deal in products of nom
members to an amount in greater
value than such as are handled by it
for members"
This, it was explained, makes it
impossible for cooperative associa-
tions to be "stolen" by a group Of
individuals who, merely by declining
to admit new members, resolve them
selves into a closed corporation.
Without the amendment the group
would be able, according to senators,
to engage in competitive trade, buy
ing of other farmers, products, to an
unlimited extent. The amendment
limits any association to the handling
of the commodities of non-members
so that what was described as throt-
tie of local business could not be oh
tanned.
Other important provisions Of the
bill prescribe that no member of an
association may have been more than
one vote in directing its activities,
regardless Of the amount of stock he
holds, nor can any association pay
dividends on stock or membership
capital in excess Of s per cent year.

rejected by the roads employees, Mr..
Murray said in his recent application
to the board. Union leaders say the
negotiations were not held according
to the transportation act.
The wage reduction proposed would
amount to $4,000 which would still
leave wages "a per cent above the
1917 scale, the receiver said. He
proposes to operate on the reduced
scale for one year, at the end Of
which time any surplus would be di-
vided among the employees up to the
standard wage scale. His proposal
further agrees to raise the wages up
to the standard scale after any pay
ment is made on the roads govern
ment loan, or before the owners re-
ceive any return,
