KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY PRE-.
SENTED WITH FOX'S
HERBARIUM

The herbarium of Prof. John Fox,
Sr., father of the Kentucky novelist,
has been presented to the University
of Kentucky through President
Frank L. McVey and put in the
hands of DR.. Frank T. Mcfarland,
head of the Department of Botany,
for incorporation in the University
herbarium.
The gift was obtained through
the efforts of Miss Lucy Simms, of
Paris, former home of Mr.. Fox, and
Miss Didlake, Of the Kentucky Ex-
pertinent Station. 1t was presented
to President McVey by Mrs. Eliza
beth Fox Moore.
The gift consists of more than 500
specimens representing many. fami-
lies and species. The majority of
the plants are ample, we'll pressed,
correctly identified and in splendid
condition, A few Of them are rather
small, but representative; few are
Unnamed, these being for the most
part decorative plants.
They were collected for the most
part in the mountains of Western
Virginia and Eastern Kentucky, a.
region that has been hitherto poorly
represented in the herbarium.
The collection is more highly
priced for the fact that Prof. Fox
collected these plants more than
twenty-five years ago. From their
| present condition, it is evident that
the collector was very careful and
pa1nstaking worker and a man who
vas interested in plants and the out
of DOORS
Prof. Fox for more than forty
years taught a private school at
Stony Point in Bourbon county and
in Clark and Bath counties. After
the burning of his home in Bath
county he moved to Paris, where he
opened a school for boys. Many of
| pupiio live anu near
Paris now.
1t was while conducting his pri-
vate schools that he commenced his
collection of valuable plants, enjoy
ing the work more as an avocation
imam as business. Prof. Fox was
also intereted in geology and orni.
thology, on which he was well in.
formed.
About 1890 on account of boo,
health Prof. Fox was forced to give
up teaching; he removed to Bic
Stone Gap, Virginia, and here he
spent the greater part of his leisure
time collecting and identifying the
plants OF, this region.
Prof. Fox was born in CLARK
county, Kentucky, in 1899, and died
at Big Stone Cap. Virginia, in 1912
He was buried at Paris.

TransIations Of Poe.

1t appears from the biography
appended to the definitive edition OF
Poe that between 1890 and 1895 there
were made at least ten translations of
MS works In various foreign Ian.
guages. What could have brought
ABOUT such remarkable result? In
q word, 1t must be Poe,s unique genius
his intense originality. which has
hardly been paraileled in literary his
tory, and his indefinable. inimitable
cnarm OF manner. which appeals not
simply to men Of one particular cline
or country, but to all men everywhere.

CANTRILL MAY BE IN STATE
CONTEST

Congressman ]. Campbell Cantrill
Of the Seventh Kentucky District
made il clear that he will be can

His position was stated when his
attention was called to the resolu-
tion of the Kentucky House of Rep
resentatives endorsing Arch L. Ham
ilton for Congress in the event Mr..
Cantrill should become a candidate
for the Governorship.
News of the action of the Ken
lucky House was not received in

surprised.

EGG, BUTTER AND POULTRY
MARKETS

While receipts of butter are a lit
tie heavier than last year, there is an
excellent demand from consumers,
and prices have advanced both in
producing and consuming territoris.
There is very little imported butter
in sight.
re bureau Of Markets of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, in its report of March 16.
shows a range Of z cents a pound
between 81 and 80 score butter.
Better care of cream on the part
of producers and more frequent de-
liveries would enable the manufact-
urers to produce more high grade
butter, and would have a tendency
to raise the price of butterfat.
Movement of eggs has been inter-
ferred with on account of bad roads;
receipts reaching the markets are a
little lighter, with higher prices
prevailing.
Demand for both live and dressed
poultry continues on a satisfactory
basis, with prices practically I'M
changed.

EVERY VOTER MUST REGISTER

The Smith-Minor bill, known as
the Statewide Registration Bill,
passed over the Governors veto, re-
quires registration of voters in every
precinct in Kentucky. This was a
companion bill to the Blind and Illit-

receive a constitutional majority
over the Governors veto. The reg
