Troops Halt Kentucky Lynching.

Frankfort, Ky.-Bayonets and rifles
of more than 1000 soldiers, protected
the law in Kentucky and frustrated
mob violence. Edward Harris, Negro
killer, was transported from Jail here
to the court house at Lexington, plead
ed guilty to murder, was sentenced to
hang March and then-still under
the guard of armed cordons-was re-
turned to jail here to await execution.
Threats of lynching were responsible
for the presence of the troops and
they so completely surrounded the

ment at Lexington that there was not
much chance for rioting.

INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE
FORMS TO ASSIST VOTERS

(Continued from page u
lie, DR.. Max e. Ernst, N. P. Coils,
F. ]. Morse, DR.. w. v. Buck, Howard
w. Smith and A. H. Bosshardr.
Principles.
The officials of the new organiza-
ton have authorized declaration of
principles which announces that I'VE
recognize that an independent, civic
and political force of voters who are
interested in the improvement of
government affairs - city, county,
state and nation-is necessary to
stimulate and increase desire for a
good government and to encourage
the exercise of right to vote"
"The purpose of the Independent
Citizens Committee is to obtain a
government in the City of Saint Paul
and the County of Ramsey for the
entire citizenship irrespective of
party lines" said James B. Forrest,
general chairman, land to set up an
ideal of civic service and duty that
will resuscitate dormant public
opinion.
'The task of the Independent
Citizens Committee of reporting to
the voters of the city and county it's
conclusions in regard to issues and
candidates for public Office, is similar
in many respects to the work of vot-
ers organizations of many other
cities, and is one of it's useful func-
lions.
Party Politics Waning.
"The influence of the Independent
Citizens Committee is embodied in a
consistent and persistent devotion to
an ideal of public service grounded
on the conviction that our municipal
government is a business problem,
rather than political, and that party
organization as such have no place
in formulating municipal policies or
carrying them out. A glance at the
swing of the vote in the cities of
America in recent years, indicates
the strength of this principle. In
public affairs, party politics mean
less to most voters in municipal cleo
lions than ever before.
"Objectional influences must be
fought and conquered by persistent
publicity and a truthful presenta-
ton of the facts to all the citizens.
ITO such task the Independent
Citizens Committee with confidence
and courage will consequently ana
persistently bend every energy"
Offices of the Independent Citizens
Committee have been established at

To stretch butter, add a cupful of
sweet fresh milk to pound Of but
ter, softened enough to be worked into
it. Butter thus treated will not keep
as long az the ordinary, but it goes
much farther when spread on bread.
It should be used within day or two,
however, as it Is apt to become sour.
Two or three measuring cups should
be kept ready for use. Have them
standard half-pint size and marked
in eighths, quarters and halves. The
advantage of two or more cups is that
one may be used for liquids and one
for dry ingredients without stopping
to wash them.
A small-sized scrub brush kept in
the kitchen sink will be found to save
hands and patience in washing dishes,
such as graters, and any dish which
has dried-on food. 49,.
Fresh tea stains on linen may be re-

Fruit stains of jam or jelly should be
