Kentucky A Political Preview? Many things aren't what they used, to b in this troubled old world. But reports from Kentucky indicate that poli

tics there hasn t deviated , much from a familiar, pattern. Democrats are feuding again, and as a result the Republicans are hopeful of electing another governor to replace their incumbent, Simeon Willis, who cannot succeed himself. Governor Willis didn't win four years ago because Kentuckians in general decided he would be a good, man to have down in the capitol at Frankfort. He won because the Democrats,' who normally control the state, had been split badly in a rough primary, and wouldn't or couldn't pull themselves together again. Thousands of them either went fishing on election day in 1943 or voted for, the Republican judge from Ashland, There was a similar, split in the Kentucky senatorial race last year. John Young Brown, a perennial candidate, won the Democratic nomination. He had accumulated many enemies in a long and turbulent political career, and these more or less plumped for his Repubb'can rival, John Sherman Cooper. As a result, Kentucky has a GOP senator again for the first time in many years. Several weeks ago history started, to repeat. After a typically rough primary, the Democrats nominated for governor Earle C. Clements, also a perennial candidate but a. mere successful one than Brown. Now a congressman, Clements had previously held jobs ranging from sheriff to state senator. He is backed by a strange combination which, includes Kentucky's private utilities (grateful because he voted aaginst a TV A bill while majority leader of the state senate) and organized labor.. Groups, that opposed him in the primary, swear they will not lift' a 'hand' to help. him. and, will urge liberals to boycott him. , : -'Against him also is one of the ablest campaigners the Republicans 'have 'ever mustered in the; Blue Grass state. Eldon S. Dummit, the GOP nominee, is noAv attorney general of Kentucky, and as a result of- that office-holding seems much better known than Willis was at the same period in the 1943 campaign. A resident of Lexington, he has long been active in civic affairs, is a ready and entertaining speaker. He started out last week on a schedule that calls for 90 speeches before Nov. 4, which gives a fair idea of how he can get around. Clements also is stumping the state, stressing party harmony rather than issues; The task he faces is something like that pf.na,tiojnal Democratic leaders in getting conservatives and New Dealers to team up. Indeed, the national significance of the Kentucky contest is that it may afford a small-scale preview of 1948.

The Briar Patch

How did the housewife pass the long hours it takes to peel a bushel of; peaches before, radioes were invented? Once in a while, a gleam of housewifely pride lightens the long

monotony of housework clean clothes flapping in the wind on ' washday or rows of canned yellow peaches, crimson tomatoes, and green beans lined up on the storage shelves. The modern deep . freeze has its place, but it just doesn't give that lift to the spirit j that the colorful canned fruits and vegetables give. '.. ) There is something pathetic about a sale the accumulation of ' the. many things that were necessary for living to be scattered to ' the-four winds. Someone's plans all-gone haywire, a . death in the family, ill health, and on the other hand, the greedy looks or ridicule of the would-be buyers all combine to make a person wonder what will happen to their treasures someday. And the so-called antiques! People are funny, aren't they? j -.- i Seem? like a. gardener-gets acquainted with weeds as well as with flowers. Alter all, weeds are only flowers out of their place. Dahlias grow wild in Mexico, regal lilies came from the wilds of mountians in China. Scotland, uses the thistle as her national flower, but it is now oii the obnoxious list around here. Its eradication might be a worthy project for the 4-H boys. Until one has seen large fields infested as they are near Detroit, its pestivity is not suspected, s j Just to look at it as it grows along Turman's Creek, you'd nev- j er guess it was anything but a thistle, but teazel is used by textile ! mills to raise a nap on woolen cloth. The stems are cut about eighc inches long; the prickles are stripped off so the stem makes a

handle. It will break if it meets a serious obstruction, where a metal card would tear the cloth. There is a truck patch of it being grown commercially, between Terre Haute and Indianapolis. It is a murderer like Jack-in-the-pulpit its upper leaves grow together at their base, to form a, small lank where tiny insects drown in the watec and dew collected there. This fluid used to be recommended as a sure cure for warts!- Its local name of Gypsy Combs describes it perfectly. . . , Pride. is a thin cloak to shield one from adverse winds; but it often outlasts love. - Farmers have begun to say that a light frost would be good for the corn isn't Nature cunning? We may growl and grumble about the. weather, but we sorta. like the way Nature keeps it coming in the same old routine. Gram wonders if Junior will get enough good out of knowing how to find the LEAST-COMMON DENOMINATOR to pay her for the effort it is to remember how it wasis done.c If ever she used that knowledge from her. schooldays to this, she can't now recall it! Tolerance in the other fellow's opinion, of us is a mighty fine thing; but it is awfully hard to practice toward him.
