Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Hopkinsville, Ky. Final prepara

McCormack, of Bowling Green, state
sanitary inspector; Dr. W. W. Rich
mond, of (Clinton, member of the state
board of health, and Dr. W. A. Lockey,
county health officer, completed the
plans for what Dr. McCormack calls
a "health revival." In this matter the
state board will work in connection
with the Christian County Medical So;
ciety. War was declared upon the
bookworm, tuberculosis and typhoid
fever. A force of microscopists from
the state health office will be on duty
to analyze the waste matter and the
sputum of every man, woman and
child in the county that may be sub
mitted. - The analysis, with medical
advice and educative circulars, will be
mailed to the sufferers entirely free of
charge. Dr. A. C. Curry, of St Charles,
will conduct special work aimed at
the stamping out of. tuberculosis.
Stereopticon lectures will be given in
every schoolhouse in the county and
dispensaries or revival " meetings will
be held at' the following points, the
dates to be announced later: Crofton,
Empire, Haleys Mill, Kelly, Carl, Era,
Macedonia, Gracey, Pembroke, Fair
view, Howell, Lafayette. Hopkinsville

and the same sort of campaign will be
conducted in eveTy section of the city.
Dr. Richmond states that with the co
operation, of the citizens, typhoid, tu
berculosis and the hookworm can be
stamped out in this county and that
therefore the first gun of the campaign
would be a plea for co-operation. The
Christian county fiscal court appro
priated $500 and the state will furnish
the remainder of the money needed
for the campaign.

ries. SETTING OUT TOBACCO LATE.
Sharpsburg, Ky. This section of
Bath county has had a few liht show
ers during the last few days, but they
did not relieve the drouthy condition
to any appreciable extent. There has
not been rain enough to soak the roots
for more than two months. Crops of
every kind have about burned up and
many things are beyond remedy. A
number of the farmers have been set
ting out tobacco plants this week after
each little shower, as it has been so
dry all summer they could not get
their plants all reset. Such a thing as
setting tobacco late in July was never
heard of in this county before.

TWOFOLD PURPOSE
TO AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
WORKS IMPROVEMENT IN IN
DIVIDUAL AND INCOME.
interesting Paper Issued By Kentucky
Experimental StationAdvance- "
- ment in Soil ' Improvement.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
, Lexington, Ky.-r-Prof. T. R. Bryant,
superintendent of the extension di
vision of the Kentucky experiment sta
tion here, in a circular just issued and
entitled . "Agricultural Extension and
the Rural Community," says, in part:
"We hear much nowadays about agri
cultural extension . work, demonstra
tion farms, boys corn clubs, better
farming methods and a large1 number
of other comparatively new agricul
tural enterprises, but few people really
get a clear conception of what is to be
accomplished byj.suchrwork. Agricul
tural extension work is accomplishing
a two-fold purpose; first, In enabling
farmers' to realize a greater cash in
come, improving their land while so
doing, and, second, in producing a re
flex action upon the farmer and his
family which will enable them to im
prove, themselves even' more than they
improve their farms. The two phases
of the work go hand in hand, but thV
latter is, after all, the more funda
mental and important. " Many people
look at this problem from the wrong
point of view. It must be clearly un
derstood that the fundamental im
provement must be in the Individual
and the home. Frugal care in the mat
ter of hdtae provisioning in the way
of a pleasing . variety of fresh fruits
and vegetables in" summer, the same
properly canned . or winter, the instal
lation of a few additional home conve
niences and labor-saving devices, all
go far toward making the home better.
As a simple example, a high stool for
the kitchen to be used while peeling
potatoes, washing dishes, etc., will con
serve enough of the energy of the over
worked wife and mother to encourage
her to read awhile after supper, gain
ing new ideas, and to be the attractive,
brightening personality that she
should, instead of the uninteresting
drudge that she too frequently Is.
Such improvement in mind and spirit
proves contagious and the entire homo-
stead is made better." -
WATER FAMINE IS THREATENED.
Greenville, Ky. Greenville is threat
ened with a water famine as well as a
disastrous drought. On account of the
diminishing amount of water in the
lake of the Greenville Light & Water
Co. the city was compelled to stop
using water for street-sprinkling pur
poses, it being found that at the pres
ent time the water in the lake is lower
than it has ever been in the late fall
and was receding at the rate of eight
inches a week. Unless unprecedented
rains should fall it is thought that tha
city will be. without water before ths
fall rains set in.'
MEDICS HOLD CONVENTION.
Bowling Green, Ky. The local med
ical society has about completed its
arrangements for the entertainment of
the Kentucky State Medical Society,
which will 'meet, in this city for a
three-days' sessioa beginning Tuesday
morning, September 2. One, bigfea
ture of the" program will be a trip, to
Mammoth. Cave. Citizens will vie with
the doctors in making the" stay of the
600 to 800 physicians and their wives
in this city a pleasant one.

cation of Breckenridge county has rec
ognized the Cloverport High School as

HAVE DISTINCT STYLE
HATS FOR FAIR MOTORIST APART
FROM OTHER MILLINERY. '
8oftne Imperative, Which Meant
That Few Wire May Be Used -'
Arrangement of the Veil la
Matter of . Importance.
Styles for the motorist . have be
come quite settled as to hats which,
to be within the mode, must be rather
small, fit welL with sufficient brim
to protect the eyes. ' They must- be
soft; if of braid, a pliable variety is
used. In the majority of motor bats
there are very few wires, in fact the
fewest number possible to hold the
shape of the hat.
It Is in the management of the veil
that the designers find exercise for
their variety of ideas. They are ueing
hemstitched chiffon, either wire or
narrow, and In lengths varying from
1 to three yards. Nearly -all. these
veils are attached to the hat at the
back or across the front or all around
by a band of trimming which is placed
where the brim and crown join.
Small elastic cords are run in some
of the veils, gathering them loosely
about the neck. The veil is fastened
at the back with a hook and eye.
Longer veils are brought over the
face and about the neck and tied in
a loose knot. Wide veils, falling from
the brim of the hat, are split up from
tho bottom to half the width of the
veil. The. split ie finished with a
narrow hem. ... Each half of the veil
is brought to the back' of the heck,
where the ends cross and are brought
to the. front and tied in a loose, knot
either directly in front or to one side.
Vivid colors are in great demand.
Bright red silk bonnets with royal
blue veils, blue with emerald green,
white with green, etc., are everywhere,
and tans are always stylish, and the
taupe . bonnet with .veil to match con
tinues in favor. But the furore for
strong colorings which has marked
this season has extended to motor
headwear. . It is very pretty and in
spiriting . to see these gay bonnets
where motorists assemble.
New Coat Sleeves. ,
Sleeves of coats and gowns are
slashed in the same manner as the
skirts. The opening is filled with a
lace ruffle or is outlined with fancy
buttons.
FINDS A SCRAPB00K HANDY
Girl Whose Entertainments Are Al
ways Looked Forward to With
" Pleasure Tells Her Secret.
A girl who is quite noted among her
friends as a successful- hostess says
it is not " just chance it's due to her
method. This is how she -does It:
"People sometimes wonder," she
writes, "why it is that the boys and
girls always like to have our club
meet at our . house. We have such
good times, and I think it is because
we do not waste time sitting around
and ; wondering what form of amuse
ment we will have tonight This is
the way I manage to have plenty-of
suggestions for games and other sorts
of amusements on hand. In ths news
papers there are always a lot of sug
gestions . for , games ; of. all kinds ; and
articles telling how other people have
entertained in clever ways. . I have
out these articles out and patted them
In an ordinary notebook, classifying
them as well an I could, as to whether
they were games, guessing contests or
Just merely clever ways to entertain,
Then whenever the club comes to my
house I can turn to this book, and in
a few minutes get a suggestion for
that evening's entertainment, and if
the game we start first does not seem
to go well, there is very little trouble
to consult the boak again and find
I something to take its place."
Shepherd Plaid Skirt.
A fashion that is having a great
vogue is the skirt of . shepherd plaid
with a- separate coat of black : satin,
rather fancifully made and finished
with the inevitable ruQes of net - ox
shadow lace.
ADOPT THE MULTIPLE SKIRT
as Far Back as Easter Has 4
rrovea Accurate.
Away back at Easter time M;
Jacques Worth confided to American
women his conviction that the three,
tiered skirt would be popular this
season. M. Worth was quite riht.
And now, not content with three tiers,
or ilounces, or whatever you want to
call them, we are going to have four,
or five, or even more. A recent French
creation, for example, has no lees
than nine of these "tiers." The cos
tume is Jn white moussellne, and the
various "stories" of the skirt ar
finely plaitetd and finished .with
picot edge. :"
The top one is the deepest, .extend
ing from the waistline to below th
hips. The next one Is - about six
inches deep, and the successive ones
grow narr6wer and narrower, ttati!
the ninth and last, which measures
only" two inches in depth. The skirt
is lifted in' front under a great dark
blue velvet rose- - at the waistline.
This: makes, it. draw In around the
heels at the back and "hike" up in
front to show the whole Instep. '
The waist has a flat fichu edged
with two plaitings, and a double row
of these plaitings extends from the
front under the arms to simulate a
bolero. The sleeves are short and fin
ished with a plaiting of the mousse
line. This costume is described, with
italics, as very much in the present
vogue.
PRETTY HOT WEATHER FROCK
Cool and Serviceable Garment for
Child Would Look Well In Any
Summer Material.
The drawing shows a novel frock
for a child. It may be developed Id
batiste or other
summer material
or would be charm
ing in pongee or
other light weight
silk. A noticeable
feature "Is the
sleeve with its
narrow Irish
crochet insertion.
The pointed yoke
is of all-over em
broidery outlined
by the Irish . cro
chet. An extreme
ly broad broad gir
dle effect is pro
duced by -the join
ing of two lengths
of embroidery in
sertion by the
lace. The scant
little bodice with its drop shoulder is
allowed to blouse slightly over the
girdle..' The skirt is plaited at tbs
sides.
New Tea Sets.
One of the newest tea sets is made
of heavy Imported cream porcelain
combined with silver deposit, hand en-
graved. The set consists of a tea
pot, a sugar bowl and cream dish. It
would be hard to imagine a more at-,
tractive wedding gift. The combina
tion of cream porcelain and silver
tracery is indescribably dainty and
withal durable.
To Lace the Corset Cover.
Instead of using ribbons, get white;
crochet cotton, crochet a string, and
run it through the top of the corset
cover. Finish each end with a little
tassel of cotton, and you will have no
trouble with broken strings. By cro-j
cheting a double thread you can rua
it, through lingerie petticoats.
- Brocaded Pique.
Brocaded pique is a popular fabric
for warm weather wear. It comes In;
various prices, according to the quali
ty, and it comes in wide and narrow
wale. Some of the designs are lovely;
showing open, sprawling figures bro
caded on the pique background.

New Trlmmlnae. :
As the eye steadies, down sufficient
ly to take in the detail of the season's
fashions it is impossible not to bs
struck by the wealth of new trimmragt
and revivals. Of the latter is a coarse
macrame lace, frequently dyed to
tone with the gown it adorns. Ao
afternoon dress of rose crepe chiffon
had a broad line of this lace set in
round the skirt, while the lower half
of the little bodice was fashioned of
it, the front hollowed out in a long
oval and ;fiUed . in with a guimpe oi
ivory net that was Just eased into t
tiny heeding at the base of the throat,
a row- of minute black velvet buttons
