PUBLIC UTILITIES

Several interesting thoughts are
earned by the news bulletin Of the
Kentucky Committee on Public IT'LL
ity Information On the subject of
publicity for the affairs Of the cor
porations serving the people, James
p. Barnes, president Of the Louis
vile Railway Company, speaks
clearly and with emphasis. he
would have the customers taken into
the confidence Of the merchants Of
service.
The old spirit Of the blic-be-
darned has gone Pickering a. the
discovery has become general among
business men that the people are
able % take a eOnsiderate interest
IN the wefare Of business agencies
supplying them with transportation
or light or fuel. The unreasonable
ness displayed by the public some
times IN dealing with corporations
was largely due to misunderstand-
ing. 1t was supposed that the prof
its were immense and that nothing
but niggardliness prevented infinite
improvement in accommodation.
Public ownership Of public utili-
ties is advocated in q quotation from
Roger W. BabsOn, the statistician,
but If is a customer ownership
through purchase and not govern
ment ownership BY vote that he ia
vors. The modern tendency in big
business is to distribute holdings to
as great an extent ss possible. The
man who buys transportation will
be much more amenable to reason
If he has a dividend interest. II
was said Of old that the possession
Of a dollar made a capitalist and
the ownership Of a share Of stock
would convert a Socialist. This is
exaggeratiOn, perhaps, but the point

DAIRY COWS BRED NOW
RETURN MORE PROFITS

OF 13,14s COWS tested IN various
parts of the United States, thOse
that freshened in September, OetO-
Der and November produced Il per
cent more net profit above feed costs
than those that freshened in the
spring, according to cow-testing as
eOciation results cited by dairymen
at the College Of Agriculture in
pointing out to Kentucky farmers
the advantages of having cows to
freshen in the winter. Animals bred
in January and February win fresh
en- in October and November, respee-
lively.
The COW that freshens in the fall
or winter is stimulated in production
even though she is fed on dry feed
because it is the beginning Of her
IaetatiOn period, W. S. Anderson,
one of the college dairymen, said.
Her production viii decrease gradu-
ally as the winter goes on, but when
turned ON pasture she viii be stimu-
ated to greater production because
of the beneficial effects Of the green
food. In this way, the production
Of the COW that freshens in the fall
or winter is stimulated twice each
year.
Other advantages of having some
of the cows freshen in the fall and
winter months which the specialists
point out follow:
The greatest yield of milk and
butterfat is obtained during the fall
and winter when dairy products are
highest and in greatest demand
The cows are dry during the hot,
late summer season when flies are
bad and dairy products are cheap.
More time is available for caring
for the cows and calves during the
winter than in the spring and sum-
mer.

Man Indicted With
|. W. Lowe Fined

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June Nv.
r. Scarborough, state law enforce
ment agent, was convicted of assault
and battery and fined $500 by jury
in the circuit court late Wednesday.
Immediately after the verdict was
rendered Scarborough was remanded
to Jail to await the sentence of the
court, which will be imposed during
the week. The case was tried before
Judge Leon McCord and it Will not
be known whether or not the judge
will impose an additional hard labor
sentence until the time has come
for the judgment Of the court.
Scarborough was charged with
committing an assault and battery
on Aston Pickett, well-known tTaV-
cling salesman of Montgomery. He
was indicted jointly with j. w.
Lowe, city detective of Atlanta fol-
lowing the trouble which occurred
one night several weeks ago.
Pickett testified that he was driv-
ing along the road in his car when
he was stopped, that when he did
stop Scarborough beat him with a
pistol and inflicted painful wounds.
Scarborough contended that Pickett
cursed him before he struck Pickett.
Lowe has not been placed on trial.

CURSE PLACEDUPON
LEBAUDY MILLIONS

IS.-Superstitious pers on s
who believe in the power of curses
say Jacqueline Lebaudy is the victim
of a curse put on the Lebaudy mil
lions more than 40 years ago.
The Lebaudy fortune was accumu-
lated by the old French sugar king.
The story Of the curse, as told by
familiars OF the founder of the for
tune, is that he stopped to sharp
practices in dealing with the sugar
beet farmers of a French village.
The result was that some families
were reduced to poverty and starva-
ton. A young mother, seeing her
infant daughter die from hunger,
sought out Lebaudy and cursed him,
saying:
Your sugar shall turn to galls the
sweetness of your fortune shall turn
to bitterness for you and your chill
dren and your children's children
After Jacques Lebaudy came into
inheritance of the fortune, he
startled Paris by many wild under
takings, the climax coming when he
decided to set himself up as EN-
to have a court exceeding in barbarlc
splendor, with harem and dancing
girls and swimmings pools, the wild
est dreams of an American scenario
writer.
But the French government inter
fered. He fled TO America, taking
Nine. Lebaudy and Jacqueline with
him. He set up an estate on Long
Island, which he turned into a YER
table fortress, making the woman
and child prisoners.
The climax came only a couple OF
years ago, when Nine. Lebaudy shot
and killed the "emperor"-in defense
of her daughters honor, she said.
A jury acquitted her on this plea.
Henry Sudreau, the French detec-
tive. assisted Nine. Lebaudy In her
defense. Later she took her daugh-
ter to Paris, where they lived with
the Sudreaus.
Then came the announcement OF
Jacoueline's marriage to Sudreau' S
son, Roger.
The Sudreaus claim this was a
love match.
But the Lebaudys are quoted by
friends as saying it was merely a
marriage of convenience, so that
Jacuueline could come into posses
sion of her $20,O00,00O or more.
Then Jacqueline and her mother
vanished.
The Sudreaus started a frenzied
search for them, blaming an Egyp-
tan fortune-teller for their flight.
