NOW NEARING
COMPLETION.
Work Progressing Rapidly ION
The Avalon Rest Rooms.

The Avalom I. l.. Metcalfe's rest
room gymnasium. is nearing COM
pletion and IN sixty DAYS the gym
nasium, shower baths, auditorium
and one rest room for ladies viii re
completed and opened TO the public.
The use and enjoyment Of the new
public building will be open to both
the citizens Of Hopkinsville and the
farmers in the county.
For the farmers and their wives it
will afford headquarters on a shop
ping trip to town, where they can
leave their baskets and packages or
eat their lunches at noon time,
Every farmers wife has long felt
the need of the welcome relief of a
quiet cool room where rest and a
wash in cold running water are a.
valuable. The always needed, indis-
pensabie mirror will be at hand, in
whose r, Fiction the sundry way
ward locks can be restored to their
prestine ordtr- ID arrangement.
The Avalon will be the meeting
place, me INDIGENOUS where the
husband or 'rather can meet the
women fols in time for the after
noon arrivai lme.
In order t. secure the Avalon the
cooperation "f the country people is
necessary. The Avalon is being
built on the most liberal proposition
ever offered he people of this Sec
ton. Ever, body must of necessity
patronize ssme laundry; and every
body wants to send their clothes to
the laundry that gets them cleaner
and with less wear than any other
laundry; and thirdly everybody
wants the Avalon. Now the con.
centration of all these wants is ten
dollar bill. half of which is invested
in coupons good for. five dollars.
worth of flowers. dry cleaning or
laundry; the other half of which
same ten is reserved to invest in an
other five dollar coupon book when
the Avalon is completed. A propo
sition Of swapping dollars for the
best laundry work in the state, and
receiving as gracious gift, the rest
room and gymnasium, the farmers
headquarters three hundred and
sixty five days out of the gear.
The profit from the augmented
trade. stimulated by the coupon book
sale will build the Avalon. How
can anyone resist the fairness of the
proposition. Already the country
people have shown great interest in
Mr.. MetcaIfe's proposition and have
responded in large numbers. AS
yet no canvassing has been done,
but scores have read of the offer and
have phoned in their. names. When
the active canvassing campaign does
begin. prospects are that the pre-
scribed thousand books will be sold
ip a hurry.
1t is seldom that such an institu-
tion is offered to community free
of charge. The exterior and in

Home Mission Board HeIps Churches

Little Rock, July 27.-During the last four years the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has given S6o,O ,OOO toward extension work Tn Arkansas. This is the result, largely, of the work of Rev. J. F. Love, assistant corresponding secretary of the Board, who at tended the B. Y. P. U, conven- tion in Philadelphia this week and later visited in Little Rock. Dr. Love was pastor of the Sec ond Baptist Church of Little Rock several years ago, and went to Atlanta from here.

Canning Factory Started

Little Rock, July 27.-Superin. tendent Chapple this week start ed the canning factory at the State Reform School. It has a possible capacity of 2,0O0 cans daily. Eight or ten of the boys are employed in it, canning corn, tomatoes and other vegetables grown by them on the farm. Ar. engagements will also be made to secure fruit for canning. The product of the factory is not to be sold, but to be used by the in stitution. It is calculated that this will save about $100 a month, and will enable the boys to live better than if they had to live on goods purchased in the market.

MRS. GRACE TO RECEIVE AID
Mrs. Ulrich. Her Mother. Wires From Philadelphia That She Will
 Attend Trial.

Atlanta, Ga. July 27.-Counsel for the defense in the trial of Mra. Daisy Opie Grace next Monday will not be content with a mere refutation of the prosecutions charge, Positive evi- dence will be introduced with the hope of clearing Mrs Grace not merely be- fore the jury of twelve, but before all men
 That her mother, Mrs. Ulrich of Philadelphia, may play an important part in this new evidence is indicated by the fact that Mrs. Ulrich an- nounced in a telegram that she would he present at the trial of her daugh- ter.
 The logical conclusion is that the lawyers for the defense will endeavor to prove one of two things-that Grace shot himself or that he was shot by someone other than Mrs, Grace.

CT had attended a revival meeting on the night before the murder. The boy claims that his purpose was only to attack the woman. He first struck her on the head with piece of gas pipe, then went into the yard, got an ax and struck her again. Fearing she might still be alive, the boy then got a razor and slashed her throat. Be- coming frightened at the blood, he fled from the house, went to a neigh bor's and gave the alarm, declaring burglar had killed the woman.
 Young Ralstin seems indifferent as to the result of his crime or his prob able punishment.
