SENT REINFoRcEMENTs
More Guards Placed on Duty at Hop
kinsville.

Frankfort. KY, Dec. 13.-That an
other raid by might riders" on Hop
kinsville is upder contemplation was
the startling information received by
Governor A. E. Wilson in telephone
message. Governor Wilson and Ad-
jutant Henry Lawrence Immediately
began an investigation, the result OF
which was the ordering of Company II,
Third Kentucky national guard, to pro-
coed Immediately to Hopkinsville.
Company II is located at Darlington,
forty miles from Hopkinsville.
Governor Wilson and Adiutant Gen.
eral Lawrence decided that in case the
fears of the Hopkinsville citizens
prove we'll founded to order any part
or all the STATE forces to the scene as
may be necessary. The most disquiet-
ing report came from Major e. B. Bas-
sett, who is in charge of the company
now on du at Hopkinsville. Major
Bassett tel 1honed that he had receiv-
ed reports from many reliable sources
that the night riders from Trigg coun-
ty were contemplating a raid on Hop
kinsville with the intention of complet-
ing the work of destruction begun last
Friday night Major Bassett declared
that if the raiders should prove as nu-
merous and we'll organized as during
the previous raid, his company would
prove inadequate to cope with the sit
uation. although he had no doubt as to
the loyalty of all the men under arms.
He strongly recommended the sending
of endorsements at once.

LUMBER FAMINE IN 1927.
clifford Pinehot Sees Doom of Forests
Within Twenty Years.

Within Twenty Years.
Clifford Pinchot. chief Of the United
States forest service. who returned to
Washington from an extensive trip
through the west, declared that the
time has come when the wooded re-
sources of the country must be con-
served or disaster will follow. says
a Washington correspondent of the
New York sun.
"In twent~ years we may be in the
midst of a lumber famine" said Mr..
Pinchot. 1--WE have enough standing
and matured timber to last that long.
With the timber that is growing the
famine may be put off five years
One-ffth of the standing timber Is
embraced in forest reserves. The rest
of it belongs to private ownership We
must be more economical in the use Of
lumber. The high price of the product
will force economy in many directions.
Practically all Of the hard wood now
remaining in this country is in the
southern Appalachians. If that region
is converted into a national forest re-
serve. as has been proposed, the
threatened famine may be further
postponed"

country town a case in which a tavern
keeper was held for the payment OF a

After judgment had been rendered
the court adjourned for dinner, and
the judge found that the only eating
house in the place was the inn kept by
the defendant in the case he had just
decided. He also found that the de-

which, with the other food he ordered,
were brought to him done to a turn.
He ate them, and at the end Of the
meal the bill was presented to him.
He was astonished to read on it the
following items: Two boiled eggs, Is
cents; two chickens at IS cents, $3.50.
Calling the proprietor, he asked:
