Acquiring A MOtOrbOat

One of the greatest virtues of the
motorboat is that almost anyone can
own one, says George Fitch in the July
Popular Mechanics Magazine. "a
matorboat is not an indication of an
ungovernably large income. If man
cannot afford to buy mahog, ny-skin-
ned racer, with 200 horsepower stuffed
into narrow thorax, he can pick up
second hand runabout, with an old
four cylinder engine which counts one
and skips two until it has run a few
miles and is thoroughly hot. If this is
beyond him, he can pick up a home
made boat with two cylinders, cast
iron propeller and a steering wheel
made out of an old Stat If even this
is too much luxury, he can beg or bor-
row a rowboat and install it in a mail
order engine which costs s49.s0, and
on which he can lavish just as much
care and exertion and ingenuity and
hoarse, reverberating profanity as if
it had cost $1,000 and we're built Of
aluminium and vanadium steel"
Mr.. Fitch relates, in humorous vein,
some of his own experiences with
motorboats, and to instruct the reader
in the guileful art of purchasing one.
The article is illustrated.

ONE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY POUND FISH
Carl 0yertOn And Jesse Wealth
erhoIt And CIoverport's En-
thusiastic Fishermen Trying
To Land II In The River At The
Mouth OF Goehagan Creek.
OVER FORTY YEARS OLD.

Cloverport's enthusiastic and diligent
fishermen are casting their nets in the
mouth of Goehagan creek this seasonal
tremendous interest has been revived in
the old Blue Cat fish that has been seen
there for, at least, forty years.
John Allen, Of Tobnsport, was at
this port Saturday. He knows that
this giant fish lives in Goehagan and
navigates into the Ohio every day for
recreation. Ten years ago Mr.. Allen
and one of his friends caught it on their
trot line. AT first they thought the line
had gotten fastened around log until
the monsterous fish stretched out by
the side of their skft. Mr.. Allen said
just as they were cooling down their
excitement over its appearance, the
fish turned over and broke the hook
and line. He said, although he was
disappointed in not getting it, he be-
lieved if they had gotten the fish into
their skirt they would have had
dangerous voyage home, as it was so
extraordinarily huge and mighty. This
fish, says Mr. Allen, has been known
and seen by fishermen over forty years.
At one time, West Dent, a colored
man had large hooks made by black
smith for the especial purpose of trying
to capture this whale of Goehagan, but
it mas been learned that it will not bite
at large HOOKS.
Carl Overton and Jesse Weatherholt,
are going to fish for it this summer.
They landed al pound blue cat on a
trot line last week and were sure proud
of the catch. Fishing parties are being
planned now and they have a goal to
work for in trying to get the $50 pound
er up the river

seal graduate.
Kentucky is leading the South in the
teacher training work. There are fif-
teen states that affiliate with the
Southern Baptist Convention and this
Convention elects the Sunday School
Board. At the Convention at Oklahoma
City In May Kentucky took first plaSe
in the number of Normal Diplomas
held, the year before Kentucky held
sixth place. This rapid advance is due
in the main to Louis Entzminger, Ken
tucky's wde-awake and progressive
Sunday school secretary. The Clover
port Baptist Sunday school is going
after the best things in S. S. equip
ment and in teacher training work and
has engaged the services Of Secretary

Der. This will be a rare opportunity
for the Cloverport school as well as for
the schools of the county. 1t is desired
that the teachers and workers from all
the schools in the county shall come for
this three days meeting. Pastor Cot
trell spoke on teacher training the sec
ond Sunday and general interest was
aroused and number have indicated
a desire to take the teacher training
course. The Pastor will organize a
class after the revival meeting is over
and will take the class through the
first book by the time of the Institute
and the class will receive their dplo
mas on the fourth Sunday in Septem-
Der under the direction of the State
