INF AIR
Distribution of the Road Fund
in Grant District is Charged
by Fair Play"
(By Fair Playa.

MT. CLARE, Aug. 27.-For some
years 1t has been alleged that Mt.
Clare precinct Of Grant district has
not been getting an equitable share of
the road fund levied for the repair Of
the roads in the district, and the fig
ures given in the settlement Of the
sheriff with the county court for this
district gives strength to the allega-
ton. For instance, the settlement for
1918 shows j. w. Miller, the supervis-
or for Mt. Glare precinct, was allowed
orders on the sheriff for the said year
OF 1918 for services as supervisor to
the amount of $1,000; and orders
were allowed his various helpers, in
GLIDING teams and day laborers to
the amount of $525.S6, making a total
outlay for the precinct, the sum Of
$6S1.41.
Now, am not charging that all
these men did not receive all the mon
ey they earned or deserved, but there
! was George w. Stout, supervisor for
the upper Lost Creek precinct, for the
same service, and for the same year
drawing the, sum of $5SS.91, lacking
only $3.50 of being as much as Mr.
Miller and all his helpers received
for their labor. Then comes G. o.
Stout of the lower Lost Creek pre-
cinct, going them still better, by draw
ing for his own service the princely
sum Of $65S.2S, or only $23.13 short OF
the total outlay for road working in
Mt Clare precinct for the same year.
did not trace UP the expenditures
for hire in either of the other pre-
cincts, but judging from their bills for
services OF the supervisors, the sum
would be more than double Of that OF
Mt Clare precinct.
Now, the query naturally arises:
Did Mr.. Miller use less than the
amount allowed for hsi part OF the
road, or did the others overrun their
portion, or was the county road engi-
neer unfair in the distribution of the
4 funds among the different supervisors
OF the district?
Another puzzling question is. TOW
could any one man draw over $500 for
less than three months work at two
dollars per day? AS we understand It,
the law does not permit any road sur
veyor to use his own teams on the
road. The difference in the size of
1.-THE orders for services could hardly
be for team work.
z II the county road engineer cannot
see that the money collected from the
taxpayers is equally distributed
throughout the different parts of the
district, we think the office should be
abolished and his 81 200 salary applied
In the Improvement Of the roads. Per-
saps some explanation from some
source may make the figures quoted
above look little better.

larRe.)
II this nation will starve the war
and feed America the butchery OF
Europe will quickly end. War in
Europe can continue only II fed by

some Of the workers Of America will
starve. While the workers are being
led to the slaughter by the war lords
of Europe, the money and food lords
OF America profit by increasing the
cost of food.
To curb the war in Europe, to
check the monopolists in this country,
and to keep this nation from being
drawn into the conflict, two things
must be done: First. we must starve
the war by cutting of supplies. Sec
ond, we must seize the sources OF
supplies and feed our own people.
The honest and complete neutral-
lily is not to ship supplies to bellig-
ercnt countries. This Is the only
way we can be sure of keeping out of
that fearful whirlpool. What's the

difference to MS is that our people

The governments Of Europe have
seized the food and money, rail-
roads and telegraphs, to carry the
WAR on. Certainly this government
lis justified in taking similar meas
lures to stop the war and to save the
Lives at home!
Our responsibility as a nation IS
tremendous. BY the power of our
voice and votes we can stop the raw
ages of the war abroad and poverty

ment of America will be truly a gov

tries Of America shall bring peace
and plenty to those who labor in the
industries.

Call for Volunteers.

While European countries are call.
inc for volunteers in conflict of war,
Kentucky is calling for volunteers in
a conflict of peace, a conflict which, if
eventually and successfully waged,
will insure to the people of this great
commonwealth a new era of peace.
happiness and prosperity. Kentucky
has one blight and blot upon her rec
ord at this time, and that is the high
percentage of llliteracy among her
adult population. 2OS,094 of her men
and women cannot read or write, and
are thus deprived of the privileges of
citizenship and prevented from enjoy
ing the richest blessings of life,
These men and women are mostly ma
tive whites. Many of them are peo-
pie of superior intellect, and some of
them, at least, are ambitious. How
ever much they may hunger for an ed
ucation, the day school can offer then
no opportunity. 1t must accommo-
date the children. The State is de-
prived of the services of these unfort-
innate men and women, and the school
is deprived of their intelligent CO.
operation. Three weeks instruction
in moonlight schools would enable
them to read and write, at least, and
when given the keys to know ledge,
they will proceed to unlock the treas
ure house for themselves.
For the sake of this great army of
benlghted men and women, for the
sake of their children and their
grandchildren, for the sake of the
cause of education, for the sake of a
better and more intelligent citizen
ship, for the sake of more creditable
