Poultry lice and mites will eat up

'Most poultry flocks that have not

ties. "Idee stay on the birds all

'Mites infest birds usually when

Liquor Buyer Permit
Listed In New Bill
A feature of the state liquor store
bill Introduced last week in the general
assembly was what is known as
"the Ontario permit system," by which
all liquor buyers must have permits
comparable to drivers' licenses.
The permits would be non-transferable
and could not be issued to min-era
or others prohibited by law from
purchasing alcoholic beverages. Backers
of the bill estimated that the state
could realize $150,000 additional revenue
by including provision for such a
plan in a state store system.
Introduced by Senators Brltton, of
Williamsburg, nad Johnson, of Kershaw,
newcomers this year to the legislature,
the state store bill would
create an alcoholic beverage control
board along the lines of the Virginia
administrative system. Composed of
three members, the board would have
entire supervision over the sale of all
| alcoholic beverages In the state.
lx)cal option, now a demand of the
"dry" forces, would be permitted under
the bill, which, however, would
allow the licensing of distilleries at a
production tax of 1 per cent, less than
, the 5 per cent tax -imposed by the
state of Kentucky.
The measure would set up machinery
for taking over the entire retail
and wholesale liquor business now operating
in the state by September 1.
Present liquor licenses would be extended
from July 1 when they would
ordinarily expire, until September 1
to give dealers opportunity to dispose
of their stocks.
The state would buy all active stock
not In excess of the dealers' January
1 Inventories that remained unsold
by the effective date of the law.
In most features the bill would set
up a system closely akin to that In
effect in the state of Washington, proponents
said. They claimed Washington
realized 15,798,995 revenue from
liquor last year to $2,413,021 realized
by South Carolina with a license store
system.
Introduction of the bill has been
hanging fire for* several months altho
the measure only reached the hopper
at this late date. Proponents, who
expected introduction in the senate
to be followed by house introduction,
said they hoped the legislators might
turn to the bill as a solution of the
state's fiscal troubles.

Fur-liearing Trout
Numerous One rime I
Colorado Town Claims to i
Have Pictorial Proof,
SALIDA, COLO.?The mountain I
town of Salida has announced it has |
found "pictorial proof" that trout
with fur on their sides once swam
in the waters of the Arkansas river.
Tales of the furry fin-flippers have
circulated here since Zebulon Pike
first glimpsed the Kocky mountains.
Old-timers swear that trout with fur
plainly visible on their sides once
were numerous. A request for proof
of the fur-bearing-trout story was
received recently from Platte, Kan.,
by Wilbur Foshay, secretary of the
Salida chamber of commerce.
Said the Kansas request: "Answer
collect if you have fur-bearing
trout in the Arkansas river."
Foshay, after a long search, unearthed
a picture and mailed it to I
the curious Kansun. Foshay said the
photograph, which shows a large
trout with an even distribution of
pelts over its entire body, was taken
by a pioneer Salida photographer.
"The legend is that the photographer
snapped the picture to prove
to coming generations the story of
the fur-bearing fish," Foshay said.
"The pioneers say he was not a
trick artist?and that fish with fur
once were, a fact. ^11 I know is
what I see in the picture.17"
j Pioneers have an answer to the
question of why the strange fish no
longer are seen in the Arkansas.
' "I don't know whether they were
mistaken for beavers and exterminated
by trappers," they say, "or
1 whether the flow of hot springs into
I the river has caused them to shed
their fur. If there are any left
they're not as fur-bearing as they
were. Not near."
Rector Builds Sailboat
So Flock Cannot Escape
BARRlNGTON, MASS.?Reverend
Richard Mortimer-Maddox, sea-going
rector of St. John's church, has
built a sailboat so that he can "keep
up with his flock."
"Since coming here, I have been
I concerned because many members
of my vestry and congregation have
| sailed away at Saturday noon nearly
every summer week-end," he says.
"I now hope to be in a position to
chase after them if necessary."
The rector began building the boat
three years ago with tools lent by a
neighbor. Work was delayed when
the neighbor moved away, but was
resumed this summer when another
set of tools was lent the clergyman
by a vestryman.
The craft, a 15-foot Portuguese
sharpie, one of the earliest types of
New England fishing vessels, has
been built in the rectory yard in
spare time away from the preparations
of Sunday sermons.
A clothes line was used to hold
the sides, and the centerboard was
made from a piece of boiler plate
from an abandoned mill. The rector
plans to have a catboat rig on
the craft.
Skull Stretching Effective
With Child in Georgia
AUGUSTA, GA. ? Four-year-old
Mary Ennis Noonan went home to
Savannah with a normal, elastic
skull after surgeons at the University
of Georgia corrected an omission
of nature that might have led
to the girl's death.
Mary Ennis was born with a skull
in one piece. There were no articulations
to stretch and permit development
of the brain. As she
grew, she suffered excruciating
headaches.
Surgeons cut out a section of her
skull and literally "cracked it" to
provide the lines that nature had
neglected. A few days later a corresponding
section of the other side
of her head received the same treatment.
Four days after the second operation,
Mary Ennis was sitting up in
bed, playing with toys and without
an ache in her jig-saw head.
Science Puts Out Tongue
At Horn-Blowing Drivers
WASHINGTON.?Science supplied
motorists with an answer to the horntooting
motorist who thinks he owns
the highways. David O. Wilson, of
Santa Monica, Calif., has invented
a tongue sticker-outer calculated to
express full contempt for tooters.
The United States patent office gave
the invention its approval.
it is a combination of a light, a
horn and a protruding tongue to be
attached to the rear of the car.
The face of the device resembles a
clown mask. It is operated from
the front seat by means of a button
on the dashboard.
A light illuminates the features of
the mask, the mouth opens and a
tongue is protruded in an insultingly
realistic manner. The horn blows
with as close an imitation of a razzing
noise as one could desire.
Bull Wreclu Two Trains
I LACROSSE, IND ?A 1,500-pound
red shorthorn btall was responsible
| for wrecking two trains on the Logansport-Chicago
division of the
Pennsylvania railroad. The bull
wandered onto the railroad's right
of way and was hit by a freight.
The engine and 30 cars were derailed.
An hour later a passenger
train, detouring past the wreckage,'
backed into an open switch and
three cars were derailed. No one
was injured. The null died.

| THE KENTUCKY ' DERUY
I Part One >
Hy the time this actios of articles
on Tho Kentucky l>crhy appears iu
tho newspapers, the sweets ami the
hitters of thoa,. horse races will have!
been forgot by everybody except the
few winners ami the lucky jockeys ami
the horses themselves
1 happened to be a member of a!
party of ^ persons, all skilled physli
clans and surgeons except poor me,
who attended the races. I have never
! been more thun a patient and a recipient
of their skill and their bill,
but they had something to do with
me even though 1 was a fairly well
man.
We drove the 600 miles to the Derby
In a few hours. While enroute,
we enjoyed the scenery, some hot
dogs, a few soft drinks and an occasional
hard one, hut not enough to
Inert, as none of us drink ut all of
that stuff (the persons we referred to
Just then were the hitch-hikers we
picked up down the line that weren't
so particular).
By the time we arrived In Louisville,
we had organized our party. We
appointed a fine fellow, one of our 4,
as cashier. We gave him nearly all
of the money we had. He paid our
bills, told us what to buy and what
not to buy, selected our food, told ub
where to go and why, looked after
the parking and storing of our car,
and as a matter of fact?he boBsed us
with .an iron hand.
We found a place to sleep after being
pushed and shoved and elbowed
all over Louisville for about 3 hours.
The place we stopped at had a very
attractive name. It looked allright
from tho front, and we saw other folks
who acted like they were stopping
there, so wo traded with the man at
the desk, but he seemed mighty Independent,
and apparently he didn't
give a hurrah whether we bought his
room or slept in the park or stood
up against a wall all night. Everybody
was on hand for the Derby, and
we were Just about as excited as any"body
else.- In fact, we bought 4 soft
drinks in such a hurry once, we never
waited for our 6c In change. (But this
5-cent drink business took place down
town, and not at tho Derby).
Beforo we exhausted ourselves in
the crowd, we bought 2 big newspapers
and began to study the horses
to bet on. We had driven 600 miles
to put some money on tho winners,
and we weren't going into that thing
blindfolded. We had agreed to betj
$2 each per day, meaning that our
total bets would aggregate $16. We
of course expected to win at least $ 1 ,000,
with our $16. One of the boys
had already got 6 tips oi) 2 certain
animals, and we had got a few tips
before we left home. We had $2 to,
bet for a friend also?who had to stay
at home and work for a living.
THE KENTUCKY DERBY
(Part Two)
Tho hotel man had a boy show us
to oui; room. It was a large room on
the second floor. We were glad that!
we were put no higher, as this hotel (
had no elevator. The room evidently
had been a parlor room back in 1876,
and possibly as late as 1890. But It
was a bed-room during the Derby. To
get to the bath-room, all you had to
do was: Walk down the hall 7 doors,
turn to your right, go 4 more doors,
turn to your left, and "thar she (the
bathroom) blowed."
This was a big bath-room. Had 2
showers in it, but no towels or soap
or anything. Tho hot-water spigot
had gone dry. The cloth that was
to hang between the shower and the
front had disappeared. I think the
boy said somebody took it down during
the World war and used it to
spread over a cot In France. The floor
had been tiled 'way back yonder, but
the tile blocks were scattered all
about, so we didn't bother with them
except when they got wedged between
our toes, etc.
The hotel man charged us only $17
for this room per night; the regular
price for samel sans Derby, was only
$3.60, Including the 2 double beds and
the far-away bathroom. This room
had running water* in it, but when it
ran?It ran in a little stream about]
the size of a 1910 knitting needle. We|
found hot water one morning In tho
cold water spigot, but there was only
enough of this precious hot water for
one of us to shave, so Dr. W. used 1L
The mirror over the lavatory made a
fellow look like he was crying when
he gazed Into It.
Thia hotel, meaning the one we had
Invested $17 lit, did not serve meals
at all. That was In ItB favor. There
were no telephones In the room to
bother the guests, but our room had
an electric button on the door Jam
3 near the hall. All you had to do to
get a bell-hop was to push the button
for 10 minutes and then go down
talra and tell the clerk to send up a
boy with some water. Ho said It ran*;
all right during 11101 and 1U04. Wo
used both of the towels in this room
the first night, but they weren't any
good the second night; they got badly
soiled, somehow or other.
As one member of the party tine)
couldn't sleep with nobody, we hired
a cot for only $1 extra. It was a nice
army cot. like Grant used around Richmond.
The pad they put on It was
about 2 inches thick and the cobs In
It had been cut up Into small pieces
instead of full-sized cobs. The pillow
had only 7 feathers In It, and they
poked thru all the time. The big
holes In the carpet were almost hidden
by my cot. When I got up the
next morning my back looked like u
waffle iron, and all the skin was missing
from both of my elbows. But we
were mighty lucky to get a nice place
to stop at like that, so we were told
by some friends.
THE KENTUCKY DERBY
(Part Three) ,
We attended all of the pre-Derby
Day races which were held the day
before and the day before that. We
never lost anything during the 7 races
on Thursday except some time and
60 cents admission to the Downs. We
picked Homo mighty fast horReB, but
as no money was put up, our selections
didn't amount to anything.
Nobody has ever tried to describe
folks who attend these races. Nothing
in the world matters while a person
is in Louisville for the Derby. The
night before Derby Day was a mixture
of New Orleans Mardi Gras and the
night before the Sugar Bowl contest.
Everybody who wasn't plumb wild was
stone crazy.
One thing about the Kentucky Derby
is . . . you dou't have to use any
manners, table or otherwise; you don't
have to respect tho rights of others?
because they certainly don't respect
yours; you eat anything you can get,
pay what they ask for it, drink anything
you can get hold of In public,
blow smoke in anybody's eyes who
might have them near enough for that
purpose and?to tell the truth, there
.ain't no restraint put on anybody at
the Derby, j
The reason the saloons were not
closed at mid-night according to law
was: The owners of the saloons didn't
want to look up 200 or 300 persons
for the balance of the night who were
having a good time. There was no
possible chance to get even half of
the folks outside much less all of
them. Somebody told us that she
heard that a large number of the peo
pie *4ept In the saloons, leaning
against each other ami against the
wall, or wherever It was possible, lying
down flat was Indulged in. The
rest of them walked about all night,
those that could walk.
There wasn't any roughness and
rowdy-Ism; everybody was having a
good time of his own, as well as her
own, and little things Bimply didn't
count. If I.ouisvllle could have a Derby
4 or 6 times a year, she aud the
State of Kentucky could abolish tho
property tax, cut out the sales tax,
reduce the license tax 60 per cent,
ignore the inheritance tax, and double
the income tax and not hurt anybody,
it certainly looks like pari inutuel
gambling is almost legal enough for
Uncle Sam to indulge in for a few
years and pny the public debt.
We went to bed early Thursday
night, between midnight and 3 a. m.
We wanted to get rested up good for
tho derby races. There was so much
noise and other kinds of fuss, folks
who could hear at all didn't have a
chance in the world to sleep a wink
till after daylight, hut it didn't bother
me at all. That mattress and that
$3.60 room for $17.00 are the things
that kept ine out of the Anns <>f Morpheus.
We got most all of our clothes
on by 8:30 and went down stairs and
scrambled for 46 minutes in a cafeteria
nearby for breakfast, dinner and
supper?all in one?as we were going
to tho Derby that day. Folks don't
eat much nt tho races.
