DRIVEN
OUT OF SERVICE
BY COLD CHANGE


The Rock Island Davenport ferry
is being taken down the river to
its winter quarters at the west end
Of Sixth avenue, this afternoon.
The extreme cold and the great
quantity of floating ice in the river
at the present time has made it adj
visable for Captain Marcus Hen
derson to put the boat in winter
quarters. The boat will be over
hauled and put in shape for next
spring. r.
One of the best years since the
boast has been in operation be-
tween Rock and Davenport has
been experienced this year.
The docks On both sides OF the
river were taken down the river
this afternoon. All that remains To
give evidence that a ferry boat had
operated are the gang-planks,
which were left intact The boat
will stay in winter quarters prob
ably until March, unless the wealth
er becomes warm sooner.
A great deal of ice from north
ern regions Of the Mississippi riv-
er and a small quantity which had
been frozen in this vicinity since
the cold spell which began q week
today is floating down the river. A
small coating Of ice Is to be found
on the river at the present time,
the larger chunks floating from the
north.
The mercury this noon stood 81
degrees above zero, slightly higher
than it was yesterday noon when it
stood at 10. Thermometers in the
vicinity this morning registered 13
degrees above at Z o'clock.

TO ABANDON CAMP KNOX

Troop movements from Camp
Henry Knox, preparatory to the
eventual abandonment of approx
mately two-thirds of the reservation
will begin October 1, according to
official plans for the military hegira,
announced at the camp.
Recommendations of a board of
high army officials upon which &C
tion of the war department will
largely depend have been made, and
urge the abandonment of all but one
brigade area of the camp. This
does not mean that the government
will sell any of the property. On
the contrary the camp acreage will
be held intact and only the buildings
on the abandonment territory will
be locked and sealed.
At a conference held by General
George w. Read, commanding the
fifth crops area, and Brigadier Cen
eral Dwight E. Aultman, command
er of Camp Knox, it was decided to
march all the units now on the res
ervation to their future stations.

RELICS FOR PIONEER DAYS FOR
STATE FAIR.

Relics of pioneer days of Ken
lucky are being rapidly gathered
for the Old Kentucky Home exhibit
at the Kentucky State Fair, the
latest pieces of historical furniture
to be acquired being sideboard
owned by Simon Kenton's sister
and a chair from the home of Gov
ernor Isaac Shelby. These articles
were in active service during the
period between 1880 and 1910, and
were found by Mrs. Samuel G. Boyle,
of Louisville, who has been commits
stoned by w. c. Hanna and his as
sociates on the State Fair Board, to
furnish the building.
The funds for the construction
were donated by the Kentucky Jock
ey Club. The building now near
ing completion, depicts the typical
log mansion, such as dotted the
countryside of Kentucky about the
year 1890 and rapidly increasing in
number during the next decade
The model for the log mansion be
ing built at the fair grounds is still
standing in Green county in an ex-
cellent state of preservation despite
its 1875 years. The house is a two
story structure consisting of a par
lor, sitting room, dining room or
the first floor connected with the
kitchen by an open porch or "dog
trot," as it was called in the quaint
language of that day.

HOW IT ALWAYS ENDS

1t seems as if the old farmer was
right after all.
The story was told at the White
House the other day, and it was. par
ticularly fitting that it should be
told there at the time
Naturally, the twin strikes were
the subject of conversation. And
they recalled the story of the old
farmer
After a particularly wet spell the
son of the soil was asked by a
stranger in his midst: do you think
it's ever going to stop raining?''
Well" drawled the old farmer,

Meaning that when anyone asked
at the White House if the strikes
would be settled they got the con-
fident reply that they always have

HEREFORDS VS.. SHORTHORNS

For many years the Shorthorns
held undisputed sway in Kentucky,
but now the Herefords vie with
them for beef cattle supremacy.
The State is recognized leadr in the
breeding of the two types of beef
cattle, and royalty bred specimens
bring honors to Kentucky in world
competition in the show rings.
Some years ago an effort was
made to introduce and popularize
another beef breed, the Aberdeen
Angus, or "black CATTLE" as they
sometimes are called. Their success
however, has not kept pace with the
Shorthorns and Herefords, which
have made the State famous in beef
cattle animals.
