State Recreation Grounds.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

Senator Penrose, in his suggestion
that the states forest reserves should
be increased from 100000 to 100000
acres, with a double purpose of con-
serving timber resources and extend
ing game preserves, indicated the in
creasing scope of these correlated de-
partments. That more than 100000
resident hunters took out licenses last
year and that third as many more
INDUCED in the sport, doubtless. Will
surprise many, for, setting aside the
negligible percentage of sportswomen,
eliminating the males Ineligible be-
cause of being over or under the aver
age hunting age and deducting the de-
barred aliens. the percentage of hunt
ers to the normally available popula-
tion of the state ranks high.
1t has been only twenty years since
the game commission was formed and
a decade since the first game preserves
were stablished in the forest reserva
tons in Clinton and Clearfield counties
one of the preserves being named after
DR.. C. B. Penrose, the senator's b other,
who has long headed the .commiss. on.
Under the act of 1905 game preserve
consists of a selected section of state

follow the dictates of the individual
conscience and ability. Translated into
terms of building laws. this might be
expressed by fixing the results to be
obtained and leaving the methods more
largely to the ingenuity of the design
ers. We believe that the tendency of the
future will be In this direction. SO that
in the case of theaters. for example,
one of the requirements will eventually
be that the building must be demon
strably capable of being emptied, in the
case of emergency. within a given time,
rather than to specify as at present the
number of seats in row, widths of
aisles, number and location of exits,
widths of stairways and many other de-
tails.
When the time comes that greater
latitude is permitted in the matter of
ways and means, we may with greater
reason expect the ingenuity of the de-
signer to evolve something that is an
improvement over present stereotyped
patterns. In the meantime, any de-
velopment in certain classes of build
ings seems to be confined by law to
decorative rather than structural fea-
lures.

WHY THE FAMILY MAN
SHOULD OWN HIS HOME
Benefits Wife and Children and
Gives Him Standing in
Community.

There are many reasons why man
with a family should own a home, but
the most potent Of all is-that apartment
houses destroy the permanency in
American family life, says Max Ragley
One cannot make a home for children
in an apartment house: there is no
room to play; they are not wanted.
When one tries to rent an apartment
the first thing ono hears is Children
are not wanted
Is this not going to have some sort
of a deleterious effra on the family
life?
A woman with children who has nc
home is almost an exile. The idea OF
permanency in American family life,
the fundamental tie of all this i'm
peratiye. essential in upbuilding our
country, Is destroyed.
The apartment house dweller has no
permanency. no responsibilities. He
has not the standing in his community
he is not consulted on things pertain
ing to the welfare of his neighborhood
his church. his school; his acts are for
today and not for all time.
In former times homes were estab-
lished and houses built to make liv-
ing and live for many generations In
that particular community. Each house
preached a sermon. 1t was built and
represented stability.
apartment house dwellers figure that
there is saving by living in an apart
ment house. but doss not that saving
go toward hotel and restaurant dinners
theaters and other luxuries that the
home owner does not crave?
He has his home, his family-"My
home. my family!"-what world OF
meaning in these words.
The security of living under your
own roof and not to be dependent on
! the whims of the landlord.
And there is the yard, the garden
the pleasure and play field of the chill
dren: to raise flowers that are used tC
decorate your table. to see things grow
| Family ties, most sacred of all, are
put asunder II there is no home. II
there is no rent to pay the rest will
| care for itself.

tanooga by jamestown and Albany.
1t will thus be seen that we are on
the shortest route across the State by
eighty-Seven miles. Louisville is on
the direct line between Chicago and
Miami, Florida, and Adair will be on
the shortest highway between these
two cities. If it votes in favor of the
bond proposition it will not only have
the Dixie Central Short Route, but it
will have roads leading to it which
will accommodate all parts of the

ed to it. 1t will not have another
such in this generation. Lets take
advantage Of it and place the county
in the line of progress and prosperity.
We need good roads-they mean bet

farms, and happier and more con-
tented homes. Why shall not this
generation have them?

Clinton county did herself proud on

building these roads will be paid to

Dedication.

Rev L. G. Kelly. pastor of the Bap-
fist church, Campbellsville, dedicated
the new Baptist church, this place,
last Sunday. The building was crowd
ed and many could not gain entrance.
1t goes without saying that all obi.
cations were met before the discourse.
Mr.. Kelly is strong preacher, has a
very pleasing delivery, captivating
the large throng as he told of the
great work that is being done by the
Baptist in the Russell Creek Associa-
tion. The people Of Columbia and es-
pecially the Baptist, are proud of their
church building, magnificent edifice,
and they are more than gratified,
knowing that all obligations have
been met.
Dinner was spread in the hall of the
courthouse and there was an abun-
dance for every body and, if we mis-
take not, genuinely enjoyed by the
many who participated. In fact it
seemed almost love feast for men,
bers of other congregations were not
only present to enjoy the dinner under
the broad and hearty invitation but
were there with full baskets and their
inequalities were vivid and as each
We'd with the other, enjoyment was
pictured in every feature.

Graded and High Schools viii
Open August 30.

The Columbia Graded and High
Schools will open Monday, August 80.
Parents should have their children
ready for school by that time.
The first and second grades will this
year be taught in the large room of
the school building, known as the
chapel. The chapel exercises will be
held in the gym.
The school board has purchased ad-
ditional single seats and it is planned
this year that each pupil Of the first
grade have its own individual seat.
The seats already in the gym, togeth-
er with the folding chairs purchased
for use in this building, will make
room for all to have seats in the gym
during chapel. The work on the gym
has been completed, and it is now fin
ished inside and out. The use of the
gym for chapel exercises will not in
terfere with its use for play, as chairs
can be removed within a few minutes
after chapel exercises.
All Students of the county, in school
age, who have completed the common
branches can attend high school Free.
Pupils who desire to attend are re-
queSted to enter school at the begin
ming of the term August 80. We urge
those who are prepared to attend to
enter this year. Next year you will
be older, it will make you one year
later getting through high school, and
then too you will be just where you
are now in your school work.
Last year was by far the best we
have had in the history of the school.
We expect this one to be bigger and
better. Join the procession boys and
girls and lets bring Kentucky to the
front rank among the States and
Adair county to the front in Ken
lucky.

Some people in this Legislative dis
trict do not understand why Mr.. Ray
Mo0tgemery's name was not on the
primary ballot as a Democratic candi-
date for a seat in the lower House.
It was this way: Mr.. Montgomery
filed his petition with the Secretary
of State forty days before the pri-
mary, according to law. No other
Democrat filed, hence he became the
nominee of the party without opposi-
tion, and he was given certificate to
that effect by the Secretary of State.

A week ago last Saturday Clinton
county, by a majority of five to one of
the votes cast voted to issue bonds to
the amount of fifty thousand .dollars
to secure the Dixie Short line through
the county. On last Saturday Russell
county voted to issue forty thousand
dollars in bonds to secure the same
road. The vote in Russell was about
three to one for the proposition. 1t
is to the credit Of the enterprise of
these counties that they have taken
so decided a stand in favor of good
roads, and especially that they appre-
ciate the advantages which will re-
suit to them by having this great
highway through their borders. We
are sure that it was the best days
work ever done in either county.
Their action makes certain the con-
struction of the highway between
Cincinnati and Chattanooga and on
the shortest line that has been pro-
posed between the two cities. 1t now
rests with Adair county to say wheth-
er it will fill in the link of ten or
twelve miles to make the connection
to Louisville. Should Adair county
show the public spirit which has been
manifested in Clinton and Russell,
and vote to issue bonds, it will not
only get the benefits resulting from
this great highway from Chicago, H.,
to Miami, Florida, connected high
way of eighteen hundred miles, but
it will at the same time secure good
roads on all the leading public roads
of the county, placing all parts of the
county in touch with this leading
highway. This means more to the
county than the building of railroad
for the roads in the county will belong
to the people and they will have the
use of them, 1t is now a face to face
proposition in Adair. We have boast
ed of our citizenship, of our schools,
and churches and of our past record
DO we propose to block this enter
prise and say to the world that we
are the one county, the only county,
on line of highway composing seven
States, and covering nearly two thou
sand miles in length that refuses to
construct its part? This is the sit
uation, and we must meet it. So far
as we know, Adair is now the only
county whose action is uncertain. 1t
is the only county between Louisville
and Chattanooga which has not acted.
If it acts favorably, the line is assured
1t is the great opportunity, the gaeat-
est that has come to US, to get in
touch with other points of the county
north and south. Will we hesitate.
Can we afford to hesitate to avail our
selves of it?

The Paramount Players.

The week of the Fair was very un-
favorable for shows. The Fowler
shows were unable to do anything on
account of the continuous rain. The
Dixie Ministries gave several unique
performances, and as they had COM
plete change of program each day,
were able to amuse the same crowds
over and over. This show, owned by
Mr.. Lawrence Russell, was one of the
cleanest Ministries that has ever been
in our little town.
The Paramount Players, composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence Russell and
little daughter, Mary, all first-class
comedians, gave performance each
night at Pages Garage. Each pro-
gram consisted of three plays, that
made the audience laugh from start
to finish, and undoubtedly proved to
this community that they were far
above the average show people. The
Russell's evidently have counted the
cost of laugh, for their entertain
ments were clean from start to finish,
highly interesting, and we're well pa
troniZed.
Mr.. Russell, at the last show, an
nounced that they would be back
some time in November.
