"PRISONER” IS ELECTED

Kentucky Man, Keeper and Inmate of Jail, Chosen Judge. Fess Whitaker of Whitesburg, Ky., Committed for Contempt, He Beautifies the Courthouse Square. , Whitesburg, Ky., Nov. 8. —According tc a widespread conviction there are holders of public office who ought to be In Jail, but aren't, but this town, boasts one who apparently oughtn’t to be, but js. Fess Whitaker, noted citizen, law’yer, author, jailer and newly elected judge, Is receiving congratulations in the county bastlle, where he has technically languished four months, and is extremely likely to languish tw'o more, since Gov. E. R. Morrow has repeatedly refused to pardon him. Whitaker is serving a sentence for contempt of court, following refusal on his nart to stay in his own jail, after his arrest on a charge of causing a disturbance at his home. When officers invaded his house, following reports of trouble there, "Whitaker promptly whipped the officers, and when finally locked up, used his own keys to get out of jail and enjoy the liberty of the town. The court before w hich his case was brought handed him a six months’ term for contempt, and the higher courts refused to reverse the decision. Whitaker made good use of his misfortune. The Whitesburg courthouse square is reputed t«j be the prettiest In Kentucky. The lawn is set in bluegrass and the whole thing resembles a golf Links. . Here and there are flower beds, with a great vine completely covering the steel tower upon which stands the reservoir for the courthouse. Whitaker is responsible for. the beauty of the spot. The grass, the flowers and the vine reflect his de votion to the beautiful. In one corner, done in little white stones, appears thei name “Fess” in letters two feet high, bordered by flowers. When Whitaker went to jail in earn est he began to capitalize his pre dicament. As a, “trusty” he was allowed to attend to his beloved flower beds. So, when he was not handling the lawn mower or the florist’s trowel he was buttonholing citizens to vote for him for county judge on the promise that if elected he would eventually have the roads looking as pretty as the courthouse law’n. He won. Friends circulated letters and literature for him ’and he himself was given plenty of leisure and liberty to pursue his plans. He was allowed to electioneer in town, but not outside, but that didn’t matter much, because every one in Letcher county knew him. A month before the election Whitaker, in his capacity as “trusty,” distinguished himself by pursuing six escaping prisoners 20 miles into the mountains and bringing them back to jail single-handed.

Sebastopol, Nov. 8. —Snow has been falling ovter the Tauridian plains, north of isthmus connecting Crimea to the mainland of Russia, and it has tended to render highways impassable, thus retarding the movement of Bolshevik cannon and supply trains being brought up from the Dnieper river to force a passage south of Perekop. Soviet cavalry and infantry made rapid advances during the last week against Gen. Baron Wrangel’s antiBolshevik army, and drove it back to the Crimean peninsula. : Gen. Wrangel, who has been engaged in a Use-and-death struggle against the enemy, did not seriously oppose the onrush of the Bolshevik, but daringly cut around one flank and fell upon their line of communications near Salkovo. In this fight many thousands of prisoners were taken by the Wrangel forces. City Quiets Down.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

The churches of Jasper county responded exceptionally well to the | call from State Superintendent L. ,N. Hines to preach last Sunday on an educational topic that would ' awaken the people of the county to 'the educational needs to lift Indiana i from 17th towards first place. The i teachers are putting on splendid programs throughout the county—some in conjunction with box socials and others on an afternoon. PaI trons of each community are takj ing part in these programs. The ' Rev. John Dean gave a very interesting talk at Pleasant Grove in I South Barkley last Friday evening 'as a part of a box social program. I Miss Evalyn Hauser, the teacher, reported all parents present except two mothers who were unable to be there. Marie Weging Harrington gave a similar school affair at Aix and John E. Alter of Union township) xrave an excellent address. It was the same that Mr. Alter gave at the dedication exercises at North Marion a week or so ago. These talks will assist in removing the conceit from“ many of us Hoosiers. It is almost unbelievable to know that Indiana ranks so low educationally. But if one could visit the schools in our southern counties the reason could be readily seen. Jasper conuty has advantages far above the average counties in Indiana. Very few single cylinder schools are being built in Jasper county and when one is built it is built strictly according to law. The economy and efficiency of the several room school is being recognized all over the state. Rensselaer City Schools gave an excellent program at the high school auditorium last Friday evening in behalf of this cause. The large auditorium failed even in standing room for the interested patrons of the schools. The school reached homes in Marion, Hanging Grove, Milroy, Jordan, Newton, Union, Barkley and Gillam townships. Such a program on a smaller scale should be given in every school house in Jasper county before the month of November passes. Literature is in the hands of every teacher and the initiative of the teachers will be watched by parents, pupils, trustees and county superintendents.

The Story of Hunan.

A missionary from Yochaw City, Hunan, is authority for a sad story of one of the backwaters of thfe Russian revolution. Three years ago Hunan was one of the most prosperous provinces in China and by rail and caravan millions of dollars worth of exports went from there to Russia. The blockade of Russia ruined most of Hunan. Factories closed. Rich merchants have become bankrupt and their sons have taken to banditry. The people of Hunan, says the missionary, do not know where to find the moral. Either, say they, revolutions are wrong, or blockading- revolutions are wrong, or why should spiders spin webs and weeds grow where once busy men of Hunan bent over the earth as happy farmera should?

Artificial Weather in Hospitals.

Investigations made in several Bos ton hospitals by Dr. Ellsworth Huntingdon seem to Indicate, that, for surgical operations, the best condition of the atmosphere is high humidity, 80 per cent or more, directly after operations, and moderate humidity about 60 per cent at a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit, a few days later. Doctor Huntington points out that, if these results are accepted, there is no reason why the optimum conditions of temperature and humidity should not be produced artifically in hospitals, causing a probable improvement of not less than 20 per cent in the results of operations.
