COUNTY HAS REST ROOM. A recent letter from the county agent at Hartford, Ky., has the fol lowing to say about an unusual rest room which has been developed for the farmers' wives when they are in town: "We have at last gotten our much needed rest room completed. We have for a regular matron one of the young ladies of the town who will welcome any of the ladies that come in from the country. The funds for this room were secured from the bus iness men of the town, the ladies and the county court. As the Red Cross is using the rest room for headquar ters, it is, of course, helping to pav the hill." DIVORCE IS ON INCREASE IN KENTUCKY. In 109 Kentucky counties during the year 1916 there were 23,189 mar riages and in 116 counties during that year there were 2,981 divorces. In Louisville and Jefferson county there were 2,554 marriages and 650 divorces during 1916. This information, together with other interesting data regarding mairiage and divorce conditions in the State was obtained from Wm. C. Hunt, statistician of the United States Census Bureau. The report shows an increase in marriages in Kentucky of 2,707 or thirteen and two-tenths per cent, over the number of marriages in the State in 1906 when the last report was made. On the other hand, there were 976 more divorces in Kentucky during 1916 than were reported during 1906, or an increase in ten years of forty-eight and nine-tenths per cent. Statisticians of the census bureau estimated that there were 107 mar riages for each 10,000 population, or 1,070 marriages for each 100,000 population in 1916. They fisrure the I number of divorces in the State dur ing mat year to oe izy m each 100, 000 population. The statistics reported by the Census Bureau credit Bourbon county with 184 marriages and 26 divorces during that year. i o TOR A SPRAINED ANKLE.

' - EDUCATION AND THE PUMPKIN Eastern Writer Points Out Wherein th Two Have Some Strong Points of Similarity. At one of our city vegetable marts one day a farmer displayed with com mendable pride a huge pumpkin of al luring aspect, with the statement that it grew "full twenty feet from the stalk," remarks Rochester Post-Express. This habit of wandering in tortuous uselessness to a long distance from the source of production before the fruit of the vine is produced is long known of the pumpkin. It would not be amiss for our educa tors to consider the pumpkin vine ; un questionably some of them have in earlier days, but whether with a view to its close analogy to educational processes is uncertain. Perhaps it Is too much to say that the best fruit of the educational vine is produced from its original source; that what comes of schooling is something quite different from the apparent result at the source ; that the best things a man or woman does are very different from the particular, or nonpartlcularlzed thing, he or she is directly taught to do. We are turning to the business of making our schools show quick fruit age of working ability. But it is at least a fair hazard to ( opine that the pupils who become "some pumpkins" will often as not be products known a long way from the special process of education that ex treme vocationalists advise.

Fool-Proof Airplane .i, The latest model of Sris airplane 1b said to be as dearly foolproof as it is possibly to niake such a machine as an afrplane. The machines are so Galncg and th infs so arranged, that when the engine stops they glide gradually and easily to earth. The following test shows how stable these airplanes are: A pilot climbed to a sufficient height, and then stopped his engine and took his hands off the con trol, merely peeping his feet on the rudder bar. He steered fpr an air drome twenty miles away, and, having keaded her straight, he let the air plane do what she liked. She trav eled the whole twenty miles as stead ily as a bicycle coasting down a long, straight and gentle hill. Of course the pilot had to take hold of the con trol stick tp land the machine in the airdrome, bit except for that, and the steering, the airplane made the whole journey by herself.

Experiments made in the training of dogs as messengers with the armies In the field have, It is stated, given satisfactory results. The dogs which proved most receptive nnder instruc tions are chiefly half-breed collies and ratrievers. A rather poor breed of bob-tailed sheepdogs has also done well. All have been trained to per form their errands during heavy fir ing, both of rifles and guns. They can be fired over as easily as the or dinary sporting dog, and what is quite another thing, they will face fire at close range.

Vernon is always struck with the wonderful variety of trees and shrubs which the father of his country planted with so much care. All this planting- shows quite plainly that he enjoyed the beauties of nature; but he seldom commented on them, at least in his dairy. One April day when the shy young leaves wrere making the world over again, he -wrote in his dairy: "The flower of the Saseafras was fully out and looked well an inter mixture of this kind and red hud I conceive would look very pretty the latter crowned ivith the former orf vice versa."
