The Proclamation of Gov. Nc
Creary naming Oct, "a and 25,

door of every Kentuckian-the
best opportunity he has ever had
ito SHOW the sort of stuff he is
made Of" Everybody cusses
the roads and wants to blame
some one else for their sorry con-
dition. l will tell you, fellow
citizens, who is to blame for our
miserable roads. 1t is you. The
roads are just what you have
made them, and are as good as
you are willing to make them,
else they would be better. Now
what are you going to do on
Oct. "a and %? You don't have
to do any thing. But if you go
out and work your road, you will
prove that you were not lying
when you said that you were
wanting to do what you could to
make our roads better, and if you
stay at home and roll in your
fat, and loll in your idleness, you
prove yourself a lying, conceited
.cuss of a paracite, who is always
,ranting about the great and good
things that ought to be, but will
ang to do nothing when it comes
TO a show down. There is a vast
difference in the type of citizen
who works the road for fear that
he will be fined if he fails to do
so, and the one who works it in
pursuit of the happiness that he
may bring to himself and his fell
low man. We have here a test
that will prove beyond further
doubt, to which class we belong.
You say if you 60 and work, you
will be laboring for hundreds of
lazy rascals, who will not strike
a lick, but are willing and anX-
lious to profit by your labors, for
which they are willing to give
nothing in return. 1t is exactly
as you say. but while you labor
for these hundreds, there will be
other thousands who are she'd
ding the sweat of honest toll for
your benefit.
The matter will elicit much
comment, and now that the quad.

TO TEST DEFENSES OF
PANAMA CANAL IN 1914
President Wilson May Attend Maneu-
vers of Fleet Next February.

An official test of effectiveness of the
Panama canal Notifications will be
made next February by the Atlantic
fleet in the greatest naval war game
in the history of the country. This an
nouncement has just been officially
made by Lieutenant Commander n. L..
Jones, naval aid to the president, and
Secretary of the Navy Josephus Dan
iels.
The maneuvers, which will last a
week, may be witnessed by the presi-
dent and the secretary of the navy.
Mr. Wilson is being urged to make
the journey, and it is understood that
he is seriously considering accepting
the invitation. The test will follow
the maneuvers off Culebra island,
which is being considered for an ad-
vance naval base. The entire fleet will
steam from there to Cristobal, the At
lantic terminal of the canal, from
which point the maneuvers will be di-
rected.
Naval experts will determine def
nitely how near vessels can get to the
canal by day or night without discov.
cry. Observations will be made from
the fire control towers, 12S feet above
deck, and attempts to sketch the locks
and Notifications will be made. From
the. fire control towers it is estimated
that the range of vision Is increased
sixteen to eighteen miles.
Attempts to determine whether ar
invading >feet could get near enough
to the canal to fire shells ashore will
also be made. Tests to determine the
value of the canal breakwater for 9
feet anchorage will also form par
of the program.
At Culebra island, whose value as al
advance base will be determined ma
rines will be landed first to take the
oretical possession. They will plan
mines and torpedoes and will set VI
emergency guns to hold it until the ar
rival of the fleet.

DON'T DOPE A PUNY CHILD

Parents-don't give that puny, all
ing, under-weight child any of those
so-called "tonics" containing alco-
hol or dangerous drugs; such stuff
won't give relief and health to grown
people, let alone children. Its pur-
pose is to stimulate for short time
after each dose, just as whiskey or
morphine does, thus making you be-
lieve it is doing real good.
Give that child something that
will really build it up-replenish
the wasted tissues-feed the stunted,
dwarfed, puny muscles-make it
lively, strong, well-full of the ami
NAL spirits children are meant by
nature to have. Give it ReXall Olive
Oil Emulsion.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is
wholesome, nourishing, free from
alcohol and dangerous drugs. It's
the ideal nerve, blood and body
builder. 1t does the work it is
planned to do better than any 9TH
er medicine we know of, and our
faith in it is so great that we not
only urge you to use it and give 1t
to your children-but we guarantee
that it will do all we say it will,
or cost you nothing.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion should
be given to children who catch cold
easily. Begin right now, and use
it to build up the child's system to
such strong health that it can re-
sist colds, Group, grippe, bronchitis,
catarrh, pneumonia, and other cold
weather diseases. You who are
weak and rundown, and you who
are we'll now, but are liable to suf-
fer from various cold weather all
ments, use Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion
to get and keep well and strong. For
the tired-out, rundown, nervous,
emaciated or debilitated-the con-
valescing-growing children-aged
people-it is a sensible aid to re-
newed strength, better spirits, glow
ing health.

NEW INCOME TAX PRIMER.
Regulations Permitting Corporations to
Use a Fiscal Year Basis.

The treasury department has issued
a new set of income tax regulations.
They relate entirely to the method of
computing the net taxable incomes of
corporations. Many corporations have
complained that it would be a hard
ship for them in the matter of book
keeping and in other ways to pay the
income tax on the basis Of their net in
come for the previous calendar year.
The treasury department has accord
ingly permitted any corporation to
compute the tax on the net income re-
ceived by it in its fiscal year. The rul-
ing took the form of an order to all
collectors of internal revenue, reading
in part as follows:
Any corporation, joint stock company or
association or any Insurance company
subject to the tax imposed by this act
may at its option have the tax payable
by it computed upon the basis of the net
income received (accrued) from all sources
during its fiscal year, provided that it shall
designate the last day of the month Sc
lected as the month in which its fiscal
year shall close as the day of the closing
of it's fiscal year and shall, not less than
thirty days prior to the date upon which
its annual return is to be filed, give notice
in writing to the collector of internal rev.
enue for the district in which it's princi-
pal place of business is located of the day
it has thus designated as the closing of
such fiscal year.
If returns Of such corporations as
have properly established fiscal year
are due to be made before the new
forms are available the collector will
be authorized to grant an extension of
time to such corporations, not exceed
ing thirty days, for the filing Of such
returns, by which time the new forms
prescribed will be available for distri-
button.
