You Need Accident Insurance
Here of the Many Gases Where 1t Came in Handy

Some people have the idea that it is not
necessary for the average man to carry
Accident Insurance. They think that only

occupations are extremely hazardous.

over half of all personal injuries are re-
ceived in street accidents. and a large
proportion of the others happen at home,
in and about the house
Doesn't that show that the average

HOME FOE LODGE NEAR BUSINESS CENTER

A committee with Al Young as
chairman was appointed last night at
the meeting. and II will have charge
of the arrangements. The stock has
been divided into shares at $25 each
so that every member may have a
share in the home. The stock will be

month. Half the stock was sub
scribed last night, and IL is thought
that there viii be little difficulty i'm
raising the entire sum.
The Paducah lodge knights of
Pythias No. 90. was established 26
years ago. and has a membership OF
200. While the lodge has been quiet
Il has a loyal membership. The mem-
bors have discussed the advisibnity
of purchasing a home for several
years. but the talk had quoted down
until 1t was renewed two weeks ago.
The members at once began to CON
slider the proposition, and ii is be-
lieved that the lodge viii have a neat
home In a short time. as the commit
tee will recommend that a home be
purchased as soon as enough money
has been taken in to make the FIRST
payment and insure that the remain
ing payments will be met.

COUNTY SCHOOLS
WILL BENEFIT BY
The DOG TAX LAW

Owners of dogs will contribute a
generous little mite to the McCracken
county school fund this year, while
the superintendent hopes with a
closer assessment OF dogs hereafter
the fund from this source will be a
more substantial amount.
According TO the assessment fur
nished the sheriff by the county as
SCISSOR there are 500 dogs listed for
taxation this year. No dogs at all
were assessed for 1907. Test cases
were pending before the court of APP
peas. and when IT was decided that
the law was constitutional. Sherin
Ogilvie received nctice from the au-
ditor to proceed with the collection
OF the tax.
The law. which was passed at the
1906 session Of the legislature, pro
vides that dogs shall be assessed 81
each and the money used to pay the
owners Of sheep their full value when
killed by dogs. Al, money that is col
lected more than necessary to pay for
sheep so killed shall be placed in the
county school fund and apportioned
equally among all the common school
districts and may be used to increase
the teachers salaries.
There are but few sheep raised in
McCracoen county and although the
law has been in operation two years,
not a single claim has been made I'M
der the law.
