COMPROMISE POPE
IS NOW APPARENT


Rome, Jan. 2S.-A compromise can
didate will be the next supreme pontiff
of the Catholic church, it was believed
today.
Italian cardinals, who probably will
be in the majority, have divided into
two groups, neither of which can
swing the necessary majority.
The Intransigeants would elect Mer-
ry Del Val, opposed to reconciliation
with Italy, while the group favoring
Gasparri, cardinal comerlengo, would
effect closer relations with the gov
ernment.
If unable to elect Merry Deel Val,
the Intrasigeants will throw their
support to Cardinal laurent, who
also opposes reconciliation with the
state.

Prospects Good For Cardinal Band to
Play This Season at Kentucky
State Fair and Also ut the
Illinois State Fair.

The management of the Maysville
Cardinal Band has already begun to
lay its plans for the 1922 Fair season
and Colonel ]. Barbour Russell is 60

while they make music of the highest
class, they are likewise a big feature
attraction because of the age of the
musicians.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am girl

a young man whom liked pretty well.
went out with him two or three times
and then he told me ne was married,
but expecting a divorce any time. Don't
you think it was honorable of him to
tell me? Of course l promptly dropped
him, as l am not bad enough to want
another woman's husband.
Both he and his mother place the
blame for his unhappiness upon his
wife. The neighbors say it was be,
cause he is lazy and won't work.
have no opinion to express in regard
to him or his wife, as don't know eth
or very we'll.
Don't you think | did the right thing
to drop him when did?
Would it be correct and safe to &c
with him if he were to renew his atten
lions when he is single again.
EARL.
It was only right for the young man
to tell you he was married and expect
ing a divorce and it was wise for you
TO give him up until he secured his
divorce.
If you want to see him again wher
lie is free, do so. But beware of g
man who throws blame for trouble or
his wife. The right kind of man would
be silent on the subject and let people
draw their own conclusions.
