With Measure Passed, Treas
ury Department Prepares
to Issue Regulations.
INCOME TAX NEW.
Officials Also Declare New Act
Will Afford Government
Ample Revenue.

Washington, Oct. 8.-W it h the
Democratic tariff law consummated,
activity is transferred from the halls
of Congress to the Treasury Depart
ment, where Secretary McAdoo and
Assistant Secretary Hamlin have be.
gun the development of a plan Of
enforcement.
Treasury officials declared that the
new act was the lowest tariff law in
the history of the country with the
possible exception Of the Walker tar
if of 1916, and its amendatory tariff
of 1857. With President Wilson and
the Congressional trainers of the
law, they declared it was COMPETE
tive tariff" and freely expressed the
conviction that business would be
invigorated and sustained through
its operation. Officials were equally
confident that it would afford the
Government ample revenue.
1t is roughly estimated that $780,
900, 900 worth of merchandise, held
in bond, soon would be withdrawn
and payment of duty made under the
new law. Compared with the Payne
Aldrich act, this will mean loss of
$40, 100000 to the Government. The
Treasury officials maintained that
these Withdrawals would have no
perceptible effect upon the business
of the country.

Army Of Babies.

Attention was centered on the
baby show Tuesday. Think Of
small army of babies. II in all, with
the capacity to give the rebel vel

ment and start mothers and nourses
on double quick time to the spot
where the innocents had begun to
make the welkin ring and were liable
to beat the band" at its own game
in making music in the air." and
then you may arrive at an idea of
what was going on most Of the day
to find out who has the most perfect

and Christian county.
DR.. Curry began measuring the
babies early in the morning and got
through by about o'clock, measur-

the list of 70.
The ladies who arranged this most
difficult feature were Mesdames
George Kolb and Jouett Henry. For
two weeks or more they were kept
busy giving information as to how
the little cherubs could be put in
the first contest of their lives. The
ladies did not really expect more
than twenty or twenty-five young.
sters to be entered, but when the
number reached forty they began to
realize that they were in for much
larger contract than they had antici-
pated and were kept on the hustle
until the total reached SO Monday
afternoon and they realized that

others on the first day.
In addition to the list published
Tuesday six more were entered at
the last moment, viz: Class Bill

3 MEN OUT in THE.1ST HALF.
Visitors We're Heavier But
Need More Work to
Measure Up.

The football season opened here
last Saturday at Mercer Park. The
visitors, Princeton High School, are
a lusty, determined lot of young fell
lows. They h e d the local High
School down to nothing in the first
half and were highly elated over
their work
In the last half they fought with
heoric courage but lost out by the
score of 6 to 0.
Princeton has little heavier bunch
of men than Hopkinsville and there
is every reason 10 believe that fine
work during the season will bring
its reward
Hopkinsville fought like tigers in
the first half. Three of her men had
to drop out just as the contest be-
gun. Tandy, one of the best of the
lineup, got out of the game early
with sprained ankle, which gave
the visitors big advantage. which
they were unable to appropriate.
The visitors and those who came
over to witness the game were treat

First Days Awards Given In

Classes.
FINE HORSE SHOW RINGS.
Baby Show Is Great Success,
With II Babies
Measured.

Old Italy could not boast of a pref
tier October day than last Tuesday,
the first day of the Pennyroyal Fair,
an event of greatest interest to every
body. Upon the caprice of the
weather clerk depended, to great
extent, the success or the failure Of
the fair, the first in a quarter of a
century. Light clouds hecked the
skies in the early morning and every
indication pointed to a rain before
noon and some of the more pessimis-
tic had already begun to "cross the
bridge" before they got to it But
the bridge was not there and the
forenoon was all that could be de.
sired and the whole town was a seer
of hustle and activity.
The trains brought in visitors from
ev ry direction and the streets began
to fill up at an early hour, with peo-
pie, vehicles, horses that were being
taken to the grounds and flying au
tos. By II o'clock the crowds be-
gan to wend their way to the place
where friend and friend were to meet
and mingle, contestants were to
strive in the winning and Kentucky
horseflesh was to be entered in g
race that meant dollars to the own.
ers.
To make long and pleasant story
short, the day was ideal, the crowd
was eXuberant and the first day was
an assured success. From the first
day, back in the late fifties, up to the
beginning, the largest crowd by far,
that ever turned out on the first day
of fair, that Of last Tuesday was
many times larger than ever before
on opening day.
heretofore the fl st day was gen

but not so Tuesday. There were
many things to be done but soon or

and everything started smoothly by

TWO USES FOR WIRE-GLASS
Used Primarily for Fireproofing, Il 10
Also Said to Be Burglar
Proof.

Wire-glass is said to be both bur-
glar-proof and flreproof. In the first
case, the wire netting embedded in
its center cannot, it is claimed be
broken or cut noiselessly, so that en-
trance by means of doors or cellar
coverings of this material by thieves
is rendered difficult, If not impossible.
Such glass is, however. more often
employed for ireproofing than for
other purposes, and it enters largely
into the construction of elevator
doors. partitions, windows, etc.
One expert, who has tested WIRE
glass up to LOO degrees Fahrenheit,
keeping 1t at this high temperature for
half an hour at a time, states that
at the first rush of heat the glass
crackles, but that the netting holds It
together, so that the flame cannot pass
through. 1t will, it seems, hold fame
up to the melting point, which is diff
ferent in different kinds of glass,
since some melt at 1000 degrees and
others withstand 1000 degrees sue

LONGEST FUNERAL ON RECORD
Man Leaves $4,000 to Pay Expenses
Of Strange Trip From California
to New York.

San Diego, Cal.-When Michael
Moran Of New York city went to San
Francisco seeking health he met w.
A. Peck, representative of an Ohio au-
tomobile concern. They became
friends.
One day when Moran was feeling
worse than usual and felt he was
going to die. Peck tried to cheer him
up.
What do you care IL you do pass
out?" he asked as a joke. "Pll take
you back to New York in an automo-
bile hearse. Think of that! A funeral
from coast to COAST"
Moran gave his friend a sour look
and went back to the Tuberculosis
hospital. Soon after Peck drifted
somewhere along the coast and forgot
about the promise he had made.
Moran died on August IA. When he
knew he could not live more than a
few hours he called the nurse to his
bedside.
81 want you to find w. A. Peck
somewhere" he said, "and give him
this $1,000, remind him of a promise
he made to me, and tell him to spend
It on the trip"
The nurse called the superintend-
ent, who agreed to carry out Moran's
last wishes. Peck was found in Seattle.
Then it took several days more to
make arrangements for the hearse.
