The Home Town.

President Wilson in an article in
the July number of Worlds Work,
makes this statement: "If America
discourages the locality, the commun-
ity, the self-contained towns, she will
kill the nation" Many of these self
contained towns are losing in popu-
laton, are going backward, while the
greet cities are growing by leaps and
bounds.
President Wilson, in the article re-
fcriod to, adds: you know what
the vitality of America consists of.
Its vitality does not lie in New York
nor in Chicago. 1t will never be
sapped by anything that happens in
st. Louis"
Nearly every city, great and small,
every town, large and little, sprang
into existence as a trading center, as
a place for the exchange of commod-
itics, and thus became not only the
commercial center but also the So
cial center for the people of the coun-
try tributary to it. When town be-
comes great city it ceases to fur
nish to the people of the adjacent
country the social side of their lives,
for the art of being good neigh
bor is lost one with majority of
the people in the large commercial
centers
The automobile, the interurban, the
lonsdistance telephone, all are bring
ing tie large cities nearer and nearer
to an ever increasing number of peo-
pie. These great Centers have in
them lure for the folks of the small
er communities, of the less preten-
tiCu5 trading points. The great city
is Q vortex into which is being drawn
the very life blood of our nation. Peo-
pie who cannot go to 1t to make their
homes like to trade with its stores
Human nature is very much the same
the world over Distance lends en-
chantmert. Kansas City likes to
shop in Chicago. while Chicago folks
are inclined to buy more or less from
the stores in New York, while many
women purchase gowns in Paris
which can be duplicated in staid old
Philadelphia for less money.-Nels

What Bill Did.

Bill Turner was farmer: he la
bored all his life He didn't have
no schoolin' and neither did his wife
But Bill was built for business and
made the wheels go round. He was
always taking chances; paid hun
dred for bull. His neighbors called
him crazy, but he left stable full of
cows that broke the record, making
butter by the ton, an Bill had his
picture printed in the Squeedunk
Weekly Sun. He had new-fangled
notions of making farming pay. He

TO PROBE KENTUCKY
ELECTION FRAUDS

Winchester, KY, Sept. ia grand
jury has been summoned to take evil
dence during the September term of
the circuit court, which begins today
and 1t is believed that sweeping in.
vestigation will be conducted of the
recent primary election in this
county, when Judge ]. M. Benton, the
present incumbent, was defeated by
Judge w. R. Shackelford.
One of the grand Jurors summoned
is Samuel w. Pursley, who was fore
man of the grand jury which investi-
gated the county election two years
ago, when a prominent banker was
sent to Jail for contempt of court be-
cause he refused to give the jury in
formation regarding the purchasing
of votes. Several other prominent
citizens were sent to Jail at the same
time, and excitement prevailed. The
matter attracted more than state
wide attention at the time, and is
reported to have caused the strong
opposition to Judge Benton, which
finally resulted in his defeat at the
recent primary.

Subscription Rate-$1.50 per year,
strictly N advance.

The fact that there was a small in
crease in the taxable property in
Knox county this year under the
Warnes law, was an ample vindica-
ton of the law. The assailing of the
law in the campaign last year, the
misrepresentation aud downright
lying about it, the appeal made to
prejudice, the emasculation of the
law by the Willis Legislature. its ex-
ecution in Knox county this year by
a tax commissioner not in sympathy
with it-all these things were sim
ply an invitation to sequester prop
erty or make lower returns. Had it
not been for this, the tax duplicate
of Knox county this year unquestion-
ably would have been increased by at
least $1,000,00O, and consequently the
county budget commissioners would
have been able to reduce the tax rate
in each taxing district of Knox
county instead of increasing IT, This
is as plain as A b. c. 1t must be ap-
parent to everybody to the OBJ
tuse Mr.. Corduroy. When the Knox
county taxpayer reflects upon the in
creased tax rate he must perforce
charge 1t up to the Willis legislature
and the campaign methods that pre-
= ceded it.
