lin,inary steps toward the possess. on
OF enough of Pearl Harbor for the
construction there of a naval coaling
station. A small appropriation was
made to begin the business and we
had fair hopes that something would

would be a simple matter to prevent

OF Pearl Harbor or the addition OF
another battleship to our navy.
An enemy in possession of Hawai-
would separate us absolutely from
the Philippines and could harass and
threaten our, entire coast; while on
the other hand our own fleet, operat-

Pearl Harbor, would practically pro-
Ehibit any approach from the Orient.
The equipment of this harbor Is abb
solutely necessary to the successful
operations of American fleets, wheth-

on the Pacific. The development OF
the harbor Is equally necessary for
the tremendous increase in the de-
mands of transportation which we
shall create with the opening of the

ADVICE TO CONTESTANTS.

We have been asked by several per-
SOILS who contemplate entring The
Herald's voting contest as to how TO
proceed in the matter to the best ad-
vantage.
The best way is to announce your
self and then get out and hustle for
new subscriptions TO The Herald, or
renewals. OF course you are at lib
elry to clip official ballots from The
Herald, but these count for but one
each, while a years subscription or
a renewal counts twenty. Ask your
friends if they are taking The Her.
aid, and if they say they are, reques-
of them that the mex. time they pay
their subscriptions, thTt they have
tie votes they are entitled to, credit
ed to you. They can easily see how
they stand with The Herald or what
is due, by referring to the date OPP
posite their names on The Herald.
Of course you are at liberty to ga.
as many new subscribers as you can,
in clubs or otherwise, but We make
no discount in the price per year
($1.O0) for numbers. Let it be known
to everybody that you are a candidate,
and you may thus get support from
sources which you little look for.
After a candidate once enters, she
or he will not be permitted to trans
fer her or his votes to another can
didate. This would be an unfair ad-
vantage and liable 10 produce a COM

This contest must be conducted in
an absolutely fair manner.

desired in regard 10 this contest, it
can be obtained by addressing The

AN HONEST FARMER
OF Ohio County Returns IS Al
lowed For a Sheep Bitten
By a Dog.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 10.-The State
Treasury is richer to-day by $500, re-
turned to Auditor Frank P. James by
man in Ohio county, who received
the money in payment of a sheep in
jured by a dog. The sheep recovered
and is as good as ever now. The own
er of the sheep did not believe he was
entitled to the S. and returned it to
the County Clerk of Ohio county. This
is the first time on record here that
any money has been returned to the
treasury afer being legally paid out
and everybody is talking about the
man from Ohio county as being the
honest man old Diogenes was looking
for with his lantrn.
The following is a letter which was
received to-day by Mr.. James:
Hartford, KY, Aug. z, 190S.-Inclos-
cd you will find my check for S..
which amount was this day left with
Inc by MIR. Bud Hunt, living near
Pleasant Ridge, this county, who had
a claim allowed by our court for sheep
killed and injurde by dogs. Mr.. Hunt
informed me that one of the sheep was
appraised for So as worthless; in fact
it was thought at the time that the
sheep would die, but the injury prov
ed of little or no damage at all, and it
fully recovered in about one week and
is now the best sheep in the flock.
Mr.. Hunt said that he did not consider
himself entitled at all 10 the s. and
left it with me, instructing me 20
do with II as thought proper and 50
know of no other way of turning the
money into the proper fund except
through your office.
I wish that l had this mans picture
