Fhmes-AutO Burns ip Building.

The following is from the Flemings-
burg Times-Democrat. The owners Of
the Markwell Produce Company, are
the some Of Mr.. and Mrs. J L. Marx
we'll. Of this city:
A few minutes before one o'clock
Wednesday morning the large poultry
house Of the Maxwell Produce Co.,
near Flemingsburg Mills, was discov-
cred to be on fire, and 1t had gained
such headway that nothing could be
saved, and the building with is con-
tents was totally destroyed, together
with the Chevrolet touring car of Mrs.
o. l.. Hinton which was In one corner
of the building.
It is hard to estimate the loss but
Markwelrs loss was probably over
5000 on stock and fixtures, with ST.
600 insurance. The building was in
sured for $500, but the automobile was
not insured.
The fire department worked val
iantly to save adjacent property. the
Flemingsburg Lumber Co. having big
piles OF lumber close to the burning
building and to big pile Of rubber
junk piled alongside, and they were
able to save the lumber and other
property The south wind which pre-
vailed at the time was great asset
In their favor in the fight as we'll as
the light showers which fell intermit-
tently.
The building was an old one. our
first memory OF 1t being when 1t was
used by the late Thos. C. Newcomb as
tobacco warehouse in 1s63-1S64.
there being a few crops OF tobacco
grown In the county then.

DON JUAN.

(By n. Irving King-copyrighted1
We best know Don Juan through Mo-
zart's opera, Don Giovanni"-the Ital-
ian Of the name. But he has been util-
lied by authors of various lands and his
story has been written in various Ian
guages until his name has become
synonym for a libertine. Teller in the
seventeenth century utilized the Don
Juan story in his drama, 1.-THE Deceiver
of Seville" Moliere wrote a comedy up
on the theme in 1865: there was a Ger
man play with the title Don Juan and
Faust" by Grabbe in 1928; while Cor
nellie, Shadwell, Gluck and many others
have portrayed the wicked Don.
The prototype Of Don Juan Is sup
posed to have been one Don Juan Te-
norio, who lived in Seville in the four
tenth century. and the legend concern
Ing him Is that he killed the father Of a
girl whom he had ruined, and then, in q
fit of drunken bravado, broke into the
murdered mans tomb and invited his
statue to come and dine with him. ThA
statue came-we all remember the awe
some music with which Mozart an
nounces the entrance Of the r1crtuary
lmage-and dragged the Hhertine down
to hell.
one version OIL the story iS tndJ the
statue Of his victim killed him when ne
! invaded the mausoleum and insulted it.
| while still another states that the Fran
| ciscan monks, wishing to stop the de-
| baucheries of Don Juan, and angry al
his violation OF the sanctity OF a tomb
within the church confines took drasti,
measures with him and then gave oui
| that the statue did 1t.
Byron in his poem makes no use o.
| the legend of Don Juan, merely givinf
the name of the libertine to an ifnmora
youth who has amorous adventures ii
various parts of the world. No just AMI
| terrible retribution overtakes Byron
! Don Juan; but the poem is unfinished
and perhaps, had Byron completed ii
the ultimate fate of its hero would hav
been as gruesome as that Of Don Jpal
In the opera.
There were libertines before Don Jua,

seen; but never one so damned to ev

AMERICAN SHIPS.

The position OF President Harding in
his earnest advocacy of the merchant
marine and such legislation as Is re-
auired TO maintain It is only what he
has previously indicated. It is neverthe-
less no other position than ought to be
expected. We as a nation have abhor-
red the idea of being dependent upon
others. Yet IN the matter Of shipping
We hava experienced the situation of
being almost helpless in that respect,
dependent upon the transportation ser
wee Ct other countries to large degree
for carrying on our own trade and yet
persiaently calling for better condi-
tions.
This country ought to want no better
eve opener than It got in regard to
merchant marine during the early days
OF the war. We have long and loudly
called for the building of merchant
marine in years that had preceded the
struggle in Europe, not for the purpose
OF preparing for what had not been an
..c.pated. but with the idea Of replac-
ing the American flag on the high seas
and regalning our once proud position
II the commerce Of the world.
Despite all that had been urged In
regard TO our I'D in this direction the
war fond US poorly provided for. We
began to indulge in lavish OUTLAWS in
order to meet the situation. Some Of
the expenditure has become only waste
but even though we have obtained a
merchant marine at high cost, because
Of the procrastination in meeting an OBJ
vious need. we should not make the mis-.
take Of casting Il aside and returning
10 those conditions which existed few
years ago.
Yet that Is what IS the logical out.
eome unless there Is the proper support
given to the merchant marine. We can
not expect to maintain, under law
which are enacted for the purpose o
meeting American conditions, a mer
chant feet that is unable to compett
with vessels Of other countries wher,
subsidies and less restrictive laws pre-
vail. Unless we want to see our mer
chant marine disappear and vessels O.
other countries carry on our foreign
shipping we should provide for the sub
sidy OF the American shipping such a.
Is urged by the president and which til,
situation plainly calls for.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

How some Of the members Of the
United States are taking .up the time of
that body for needless discussions. in
stead of giving their close attention to
the important matters piled up before
them, is indicated by the efforts under
taken in that body to make it impossi-
BILE for the members of the class Of 1881
at Annapolis to go, by means Of Unit
ed States transport, to attend reunion
iii Japan as the guest of Admiral Uriu
who was a member of that class.
1t can be readily understood that II It
was the purpose of this class to have
the government furnish it vessel for
transportation gratis there would be
good and sufficient reason for interpos-
ing objections. Such would of course be
an expenditure of government money
that would not be warranted, even
though members of the cabinet are
members Of the class and one at least
will accompany the delegation.
But that isn't case. The trans
port is going to various points in the
Pacific and is to carry supplies to Ad-
nirai Strauss in charge Of the Pacific
fleet of the United States in Asiatic wa
ters. 1t will go whether any Of the An
napolis graduates accompany it or not
Inasmuch as it is able to accommodate
the % classmen of the naval academy
and they are to pay their expenses ii
connection with the trip, it is clearly
Indicated that there is no ground for op

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
q SuggeBtI0n

Mr.. Editor: There has been SO much
discussion of the daylight saving
question that we are all familiar nnw
with its advantages and disadvantages
Whatever our personal preferences, we
are all ready, no doubt, to abide by
the will of the majority. We want only
to find out what the majority really
thinks.
Has anyone suggested getting an ex-
preston of opinion by mail, votes to be
counted only when duly signed with the
name and street address of the voter:
This method ought to secure a uni
versaf expression of opinion for it would
not be affected by the size or location
Of our town hall, by the Occupation
of any ones individual duties, by dis
tance from the polls, age, feebleness. or
even illness, unless Of the most serious
kind.
1t would also have the merit Of econ
omy. The mailing of reply postal cards
to all legal voters of the town, OF tho
distribution of single cards even with
the expense of printing, addressing,
checking and counting, would De less
than $1,000, and there would be no
question of injuring complicated rnactlin-
cry or of interfering with regular cleo
ton. Is this plan worth considering.
Yours for economy and the will Of
the majority.

THE THING TO DO.

The expected has happened in regard
10 re decision which Governor Gen
sral Wood makes relative to returning
from the Philippines to assume his du-
ties as provost Of Pennsylvania unive--
sity.
General Wood hasn't completed his
programme IN connection with the ad-
ministration OF the islands. He hasn't
ne yet advanced il to the point where
he would be satisfied to leave It and per-
nit others to carry It along. He sees
Ire need OF sticking to his task. He rec
cgnizes Il as his duty to remain at his
post for the remainder of this year.
That IS OF course in keeping with the
wishes OF the government at washing
Ton although It was left with him to de-
eide what he should do. What it was
believed would be his answer to the uni
versity has been received. He doesi't
say that he doesn't want to get back
and to take up his new duties. He
scesnt indicate that he would prefer to
rick to the job in the Pacific. but he
Ices say that he cannot get back by
he frFt OF September without leaving
