WIRELESS STATION CAUGHT
 SIGNAL TO HOIST FLAG.
Booths Station Took Noon Time Di-
 rect from Arlington.

An item of interest to Norwich Is the fact that for the first time a flag was raised to the top of the pole at I2 m.. simultaneously with the flag at Arlington, Va
 On Memorial day the flag is hung at half mast until 12 o'clock. when it is raised to the top of the staff
 Following this custom, the large flag owned by James E. C. Leach was raised at half mast on Summit Hill, near the Booth wireless station, Satur- day.
 As the noon hour, 12 o'clock, at Arr lington. Va, was flashed by wifeless, it was caught by an assistant who gave the signal. and the flag was run to the top by Messrs. Leach and Booth some few minutes before the noon hour was sounded in Norwich.

Bond Issue For Roads.

The citizens of Estill county held a
mass meeting at Irvine few days ago
to discuss the good roads question. The
meeting was presided over by The county
Judge and was attended by nearly all the
new officials, including the magistrates.
The gathering resulted in a general ex-
preston of sentiment for better roads.
1t was the concensus of opinion that an
effort should be made to vote bond is
sue in sufficient amount to build at least
ten miles of first-class macadamized
road, divided among several highways
leading out of Irvine. 1t remains to be
seen what the voters of Estill will do
with bond proposition. That is the
best method of raising money TO build
roads. but the average KentucKian goes
forty feet up in the air whenever any
body says anything about issuing bonds.
Some county ought to set an example
and cover herself with glory by doing
so,-Frankfort Journal.

Live Better Than Kings.

All the great rulers of the earth, from
King Solomon to Peter the Great, were
at disadvantage compared with the
citizen of today. Not one of them had
a bathroom with a porcelain tub and
modern plumbing in his palace. Not
one of them used safety razor, had an
appetizing breakfast food, used tele-
phone or enjoyed the comforts of an
electric light. All these are within the
reach of rich and POOR. You are better
off than Emperor Napoleon, Ramses IL
or Louis XIV, You have conveniences
they never imagined or dreamed about.
Chief among them are the modern news
paper and its advertisements and adver-
tised wares.
Are you getting all the good out of
life that is possible? You are not if you
neglect to read the advertisements and
to buy the articles that are advertised.
Comforts, Injuries and necessities are
offered to yov in gre at profusion, and
the fact that they are advertised proves
that they are reliable,
