The following is copy Of portion

"Mr. c. E. Woods,
"Eustis, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Wods: Our local option
campaingn committee has equested
me to write to you and find under
what conditions, if amy you would be
willing to come to Lexington to take
charge of the local option campaign
for Fayette county, containing $4,000
inhabitants. We feel that from the
experience that you have had in cop
ing with the situation successfully
at two different times that your SER
vices would be invaluable.
"They (13S saloons in lexington
have let down the bars in a good

vintage of their short-sightedness,
and we need such leader as you in
the thick of the fight. Please let
me hear from you with your sugges-
tons. I sincerely trust that you may
be able to come over and help u.s."
Mr.. Woods declined to undertake
the arduous task, but consented to
campaign the county and city for his
bare travelling expenses and hotel bill
and no other compensation. He may
leave about the middle of September.

EXPERT OPINION
British Critics Summing Up
! the Situation.

London special: The news that the
gress in Belgium and that their at
tack against the allies left wing in
northern France shows no signs OF

mentators recognized as the best post

northern France .s more than onset

tie now advance of Russian armies

Military experts concur in their an
alysis OF The situation in the west and
the situation in the east, with the pre-
diction that Germany, even IL success

that Russia can maintain the new ad-

The critics in this balancing of the

that it is far more likely that German

How Doctors May Have Banks Keep

rack OF inelT DNSln6SS.
The Medical Record quotes from
writer in the British Medical Journal
who suggests that physicians should

Sir John Collie is the author of this

should never pay his chauffeur with

From purely financial point of
view ii will be found that well shad-

shrubs From this point of view the
planting of trees may he regarded as
Il sound business investment and one
which few property owners can afford
to neglect. Men experienced in farm
sales know that an attractive setting
of foliage will frequently sells farm
house when such obvious advantages
as good land and water fail to secure
a purchaser
In building farmhouse it is, of
course. desirable wherever possible to
take advantage of what trees there
may be already on the property. When
this is not possible, however, young
ones should he planted ut the eari-
est possible moment. In most sec
tons of the country poplars and ma
plies will bring the quickest results.
1t is therefore good idea to plant
lhese first and to follow them with
other and more enduring kinds, such
as the elm or oak. In general it may
be said that the faster tree grows
the shorter is its life, and the property
owner who confines himself to quick
growing trees may well find that he
has outlived his shade Fruit trees
