HOPKINS PEOPLE WORK
ROADS WITH VENGEANCE

Dawson Springs, KY, Aug. IA
Yesterday 200 men and boys of the
city worked all day on the Earling-
ton and Dawson Springs road. The
work of the Dawson Springs men
was confined to the h-Alexander
hill at the city limits. This hill has
been almost a barrier to entering the
city.
Business men, encouraged by the
splendid work done yesterday, are
determined to remove this "Chinese
WALL from the city and will make
Wednesday of each week road work
ing day until the hill is removed. All
stores were closed and business stop
ped up to o'clock. Fifty women
served dinner on the road.
Work at the mines at Ilsley and
Carbondale was suspended and the
employees worked on the road all
day. Although st. Charles is not on
the road that was being worked
Wednesday. a large number of the
st. Bernard mine employees worked
on what - known as Todd hill. The
hill Was cut down and graded and
put in good condition. At Earring
ton business was suspended and al
most the entire male population
turned out and worked many miles
of road.

Roosevelt Has Spoken and
1t Is Settled.
PARTY WILL HAVE CANDIDATE

TAKES wHACK AT DEMOCRATS
(By ellison Gardner.)

Washington, Aug. 16.-The Pro-
gressive party will have its candi-
date in the Presidential race of
1916.
That much is now settled. Col.
Roosevelt had spoken and before he
spoke nearly all the Progressive
leaders had expressed themselves to
the same effect. Gov. Hiram w.
Johnson, of California, is prominent
ly mentioned in connection with the
nomination.
One member of the Progressive
party, William H. Childs, of Brook
lyn, says: 81 believe the Progress
sive party has very Important mis-
sion as regards the Presidential cleo
tion of 1916 and that is to continue
its party organization as a place to
which all Independent voters can
rally in case the platform and can
didates put forward by the other par
ties do not warrant the confidence of
the Independent thinking votes in all
parties" -
Victor Murdoch, chairman of the
Progressive Party National Commit
tee, has expressed his opinion in a
widely published statement, calling
attention to the fact that the Repub-
licans contemplate a reactionary can
didate and platform and that the
present is just the time for the Pro-
gressives to rally for the things they
stand for.
Perhaps the best reason for hold
ing the Progressive party together is
the fact that by maintaining their
party organization and naming the
candidate, the Progressives hold a
veto power over the reactionaries.
With Progressive candidate in the
field, standing on Progressive plat
form, no Elihu Root can be elected
to the Presidency. The alternative
may or may not be Woodrow Will
son. Nothing could be worse than
an Elihu Root managed by a Will
liam Barnes, financed by Wall
Street, and platformed by the inher-
itors of Mark Hanna and his school
of politics. A veto on that is the
best service the Progressives could
possibly render to their country.
The Wilson Administration-th
might be the beneficiary of a divided
opposition-has it's faults; and the
worst of them is the Bourbon Democ-
racy which is the Wilson reliance
in the Senate and the House of Rep
resentatives. Another is the Secret
Caucus which, with Wilson's approv-
al, has been enthroned in both
branches of Congress. And there
are other sins which. in the general
casting up of political accounts must
go on the debit side of the Wilson
ledger, but when all these sins have
been weighed, they are as sand in
the balance compared to the Admin
istration proposed by the Crane,
Penrose. Tawney. Gallinger. Barnes.
Root aggregation. Choosing be-
tween them is simple.
The Progressives will hold an ear
ly convention. Their platform and
candidate will take the lead II will
challenge the two conventions which
are to follow.

The EMERGENCY HOSPITAL.

This is both news and a discussion
While the fact that Milford possesses
a hospital is we'll known to the inhab-
itants of the town and the people OF
the surrounding country it is prob
ably news to them that the hospital
is rapidly approaching the standard
of city hospitals in efficiency. Dona-
tiOns are being received every week.
New equipment is being added at fire.
quent intervals. Everything is being
done that will enable the hospital to
be of greater assistance to the com
munity.
Only recently, Miss Henry. head
nurse in the Wills Eye Hospital in
Philadelphia, at a very great sacri-
fee, reiinquished her post there in
order to devote her time to the build
ing up of the local institution Those
to whom the scientific nursing OF city
hospitals is a necessity, and the long
journey a physical and expensive OBJ
stacle, will find the opportunity for
the one and escape from the other at
the Milford hospital.
Whether the Emergency Hospital
is needed is best answered by the
large number of patients who have
been treated there.
Whether it is usefully fulfilling its
duty to the community, the patients
returned to their homes either bene-
fitted or cured, can best reply.
AS a public institution, organized
under the direction of the most prom
inent men of the town, for the bene-
fit Of the town and surrounding COM
munity it is entitled to the unquali-
fed support of every citizen.
The hospital needs new building
suited to its purpose. Are the citi-
zens sufficiently awake TO its value as
a public institution to raise the mon

WINDING THE CLOCK.
Follow This System and You May Get
More Accurate Time.

Follow This System and You May Get
More Accurate Time.
You canBot secure the best services
from a good watch or clock unless you
know how to wind them so as to cause
the least wear and irregularity in their
delicate machinery.
A watch should be wound at the
same time every day. If allowed to
run down or even almost do so and
then wound up until it will not wind
any further it cannot do as perfect
work as a watch that is not allowed
to run to its full capacity or wound
I'D until it is as tight as it can be
made.
If a watch is wound both morning
and evening at about the same hour
and the key is given only enough turns
to wind it little less than half what
it could be wound the watch will run
more evenly, wear much longer and
keep more accurate time than If 1t Is
wound up tight once day.
A watch spring will last longer If 1t
is wound when there is the least ex-
treme of temperature. and morning
and evening are, of course, the best in
that respect.
1t Is more or less dangerous to wind
a watch during a heavy electric Storm
and IT is best to avoid winding while
on an electric car.
An eight day clock should be wound
twice a week at as regular periods as
possible to secure the best results
Never allow the clock to run down,
and if possible do not wind it until Il
is tight.
Learn by experience just how many
turns Of the key it takes to wind the
clock TO run eight days and then when
half of the week is gone wind the
clock by giving the key just half as
many turns as it would require to WIND
II ali the way. More accurate time
will be had and it will avoid placing
anv of the parts in a strain, which IS
frequently the cause Of good clocks
Giving out in some particular before
tbev have served half as long as they
should
