FARMERS FIGHT

Dispute Over Picturesque Institution
at Lexington, Ky.
CUSTOM OVER CENTURY OLD
City Dwellers Win First Round, but
Farmers Are StiiJ in the Ficht?Case
Involves Block in Center of City
Used by Farmers as Market for
Their Horses, Mules and Live Stock
?~Citizens Compiain of Unsigntiiness.
t
Kentucky has had its feuds in the
mountains and its duels in the blufgrass
hltd the purchase; but not for
a century bus a more bitter, bloodless
feud been fought than that now being
staged in the courts here between
the farmers of Fayette county and the
city dwellers of Lexington.
For the city dwellers have decreed
that "court day" on Cbeapside. a
block In the center of the city, an institution
of a century's duration, must
go. And the farmers say that "court
day" must stay.
The courts have decided in favor of
the city dwellers once. b;it a mistake
was made in not including the county
in the suit to abolish the custtnn of
farmers bringing their horses and
mules and live stock of all kinds to
Cheapside for sale and of the people
of the countryside gathering in the
shadow of the statue of John Cabell
Breckinridge, former Vice President
of the United States, to discuss the
political issues of the day. For, it
develops, Cheapside has for 17.(5 years
been the property of the county.
Dates From 17S0.
Back in 1790 Cheapside was the
center of the city of Lexington, then
the metropolis of the West. Ar that
time the city trustees ordered the first
market house erected on the square.
The pillory and the stocks, the public
well and the courthouse (as at present)
stood on Cheapside. There on Wednesdays
and Saturdays the country people
brought in their produce and the city
dweller and the country dweller met,
traded, swapped tales and talked
politics. In later years James Lane
Allen, a Kentucky writer, made Cheapside
famous with his description of
the monthly "court day," the last of
the ancient institutions of central
Kentucky.
In 1S05, it develops, the city of Lexington
deeded Cheapside to the county
of Fayette. Since that time the county
has been responsible for it.
Appearance Causes Complaint.
In late years t!?e brick pavement of
Cheapside has become pitted and
rough. Oa court days it is crowded
with farmers and live stock and
wagons loaded with produce?this once
a month. On other days automobiles
filled the places, parked at all angles.
For many months there have been
complaints of the unsightliness of
Cheapside and the apparent lack of
authority by the city police. So action
was started in the Circuit court to
force the city to "abate the nuisance."
The Circuit court ordered the "nuisances"
abated. But the court did not
count on the county. Now the action
has been revived through filing cf a
petition by the county declaring it
alone has jurisdiction over this plot
of ground, containing perhaps a quarter
of an acre in the heart of the
city.
What the result will he rannot he
told until the Circuit court again nets
and the Court of Appeals has its final
say. i But one thing is certain, the
country folk are going to fight to the
last ditch to retain their plot of ground
in the city where they can gather, sell
their stock and talk politics.
SMALL WIRELESS OUTFITS
Many Installed in Paris to Get Correct
Greenwich Time.
hundred small wireless out
fits have been 'installed in F'aris jewelry,
watch and clock stores to enable
the jewelers to catch the correct
Greenwich Meridian time as ir is sent
daily at ten o'clock by the Eiffel Tower.
Formerly the exact time had to
be obtained from the observatory by
telephone.
The installation is simplicity itself.
The outfit, about nine inches In diameter,
is bung on a nail in the wall. A
copper wjre run down To the cellar
or along a water or gaspipe serves
as a "ground wire," while the removal
of the bulb from a nearby electric
light and the insertion of a contact
plug take the place of antennae. It
can be done in five minutes.
Thp outfit can be regulated to h<?ar
everything that is sent out from thp
Eiffel Tower. A correspondent list

have been responsible for the desfruc
: ri<!n of $140.000,0t?0 worth of food
last year, are pronounced by an En?- '
tish scientist to be completely and rxi
actly wrong.
According to this authority, the !
! ministry ?f health in encouraging the
I wholesale and indiscriminate slaughter
! of rats in the British .Isles is merely j
! improving living conditions for the
| survivors, whose progeny in less than
: a year will be as populous as before.
There is only one nay to rid the world j
i of rats, says this man, and that is to
i appeal to biological laws, to upset the
numerical proportions, between the '
: sexes and then leave the males to de'
stroy their own race.
This advocate of sexual selection In
place of rat poison is Director George j
' Jennison of the Manchester Zoological
j Gardens, who. in a recent appeal to
| the sanitary authorities of England,
says:
Can't Kill Them All.
"When one realizes the enormous
fecundity of rats?a fecundity so great !
that four males and six females, given
I sufficient food, will increase to 170.000 i
females and 120.000 males within two \
\
vears?it becomes apparent that hit-or- I
miss methods will never work. You
j can't kill them all by human efforts
j and if you let a single pair escape
, you will have presently the same
swarms as before.
"Those rat crusades are all wrong.
' As everybody knows, the male rat is
the bolder, the one who roves abroad
recklessly, and he is the one who is
caught in these indiscriminate attacks.
This decrease in the males moans more
fowl and more quiet for the females
who, undisturbed, breed prolificaUy
and soon restore the number.
: "Denmark's experience proves this
completely. Denmark began in 1?M7
: the policy of the indiscriminate killing
of rats. She1 had a most elaborate
and efficient system. In 1907 she killed
134.000 rats, the vast majority of
whom were males. But eight years
1 later, with .he system still in force,
-.lie killed Ki9,<KX> rats! She had made
no headway whatever. To be sure,
she killed only last year, but
i that decrease?as she admits herself? i
is due to the food famine conditions
prevailing there during the war.
J "The only scientific course is to
turn your back resolutely on this Ini
discriminate slaughter and delibcr!
a rely upset the balance of the sexes,
i Rat poison should be forbidden. Like;
wise shooting rats, or catching them
in spring traps that kill them. The
thing to do is to catch them alive in
traps or trap rooms, examine them,
destroy the females and turn the males
. loose.
Gestrov the Race.
!
"That may sound like a fantastic
suggestion, but every experienced
English game keeper follows exa? tly
the same procedure when he wants
i to increase or decrease game on a
preserve. Ordinarily there are, as we
know, two male rats to every three
females. If you disturb this balance,
so that there are two males to every
female, you destroy the race, first by
setting the males against each other
and secondly by forcing them to harry
the does in the breeding season.
"We have been following this method
now for some \ears in the Zoological
(iardens. In 1015, when we began.
we caught, on an average. 33 rats
a month. By destroying the females
and releasing the males, we have now
cut the population down visibly; we
now catch only about IS rats a
month.
"America has afforded biologists a
striking example, all unintentionally,
of the success of this method. I refer
to the rotal destruction of the passenger
pigeon in America. At one
! time the flocks numbered hundreds of
thousands, but hunters, setting themselves
to catch the female while on her
nest in the breeding season, upset the
balance and in a few decades com.
i pletely destroyed the species.
, j "Rodier of Melbourne. Australia, is
. ' trying to persuade the people of
. ; :hat continent t<? follow this method
. ! in attacking the rabbit pest, which, in
spite of nil efforts, is growing worse
each year. Every new* settler increases
the food supply and multiplies
the number of rabbits. The waste in
money is ?100,000,(K>0 a year and in'Toasing
yearly. The rabbits are
I poisoned and trapped and shot in ?uch
! Ini'^e numbers that blowflies infest the
air in certain seasons. But it is hopeless.
The Australians can make no
headway until They enlist sexual selection
on their side, kill all the females,
release the males and set the latter to
r j destroy the breed.
