Tailless Calf at County Farm.

The Montgomery county farm is a
pretty good place and has a record of
good management, good crops, good
hogs, ETC., and some good results
have been obtained from agricultural
experiments. Now the place comes to
the front with an entirely new claim
for attention, for one of the milk
cows on that place Monday gave
birth to calf without a tail. There
was not even stub where the tail
ought to be. Steward A. l.. Houston

SENATOR WOULD HAVE ARMY
DO PRACTICAL WORK

Washington, Dec. Is. - An army
educated in engineering and hard
ened to the rigors of campaigning
through the reclamation of desert
lands, the reforestation of large west
ern tracts and the protection of the
Mississippi valley from floods was ad-
violated this afternoon by Senator
Works of California.
He said such an army would do
away with two great evils; first, the
unpreparedness of the country; and
second, the danger in the present
preparedness plans of creating "a
military caste" Also he said. the SOL
diers recruited would be doing useful
work instead of becoming idlers.

SCISSORS and PASTE
With an Occasional Cursory
Comment by the Editor.
All Socialist.

We have always made the as
sertion that all men had a little
socialist blood in their veins, and
many of them were full-fedged
socialists, but were not aware of
the fact. 1t is very strange to
US that when this crops out in a
mans views. why he does not
wake up. The shipping bill now
before Congress, which, if pass
ed, will put the United States in
to the shipping business in COM
petition, not only with the out
side world, but also with private
shipping companies. This would
be a great step in the direction
of Socialism, and the next thing
would be to buy the railroads
and all other other public utilities
in this country. We hear in
telligent men arguing in favor of
the shipping bill who say they
despise Socialism and call its adj
vocates anarchists. These same
intelligent gentlemen never read
a line of Socialist literature IN
their lives, but it is their sane
conscience that is debating the
same belief of the Socialist. The
Socialist platform is a theory that
has millions more advocates than
the few who have the backbone
to vote the ticket. Read Speaker
Champ Clark, Andrew Carnegie
and John D. Rockefeller, which
have been given front-page posi-
lions in every daily in this coun
try during the past week, and II
these great enemies of Socialism
have not gone further with the
theory than the Socialists them
selves, we will throw the OUT
LOOK plant into Licking river
These three gentlemen are stag
ing the great play of Dr., Jekyl
and Mr.. Hyde. In other words
it looks like we have caught tire,
we'll posted Socialists in swim
ming and have stolen their cloth
es. If John D. and Andy ar,
truly converted and are afraid t
die and meet the Supreme Rule,
face to face with the goods OIL
them they should return thei
ill-gotten gains to the working
men from whose pockets it wa
filched. Falmouth Outlook.

in. Morganin the winter time.
This is enough to convince me
that good roads are economical.
Let us look at it from another
side. What would it mean to
the schools of Morgan county,
the real benefactors of the COM
ing generation and upon which
the integrity of the county de-
ponds?
The answer to this question is
obvious. Taking them as a whole
it would simply revolutionize the
school system. We could have
more consolidated and graded
schools and thus employ better
teachers and have longer terms
The last, but not least, of the
reasons for the building Of good
reads that | wish to consider is
the advancement of the Christian
religion. You may ask, what
does roads have to do with relig-
ion?" When the road to the
church house is in such condi-
ton that it is a drudgery to try
to travel, the interest manifested
is at low ebb, and then it is
that the minister feels that his
efforts are in vain. So preachers
do not fail to use your influence
lin your churches for the build
ing of good roads, and there is
Tho double that you win be further
ing the Kingdom of God. In
colonial days the ministers were
the sourceof knowledge; so you
be a source of information upon
the road question. The streets
of the Celestial City are paved
with gold and why should not
Morgan county have, at least,
macadamized roads. So business
men, parents, teachers, Christians
and ministers get busy and sign
that petition to the Fiscal Court
and also get your neighbors tc
sign it at once.
;. / am going to send in at least
six names of Morgan voters who
are like myself, here in Lexington
in College.
Twill gladly do everything in
my power in securing good roads

vital question confronting the
Morgan county people.

Why Have Good Roads,

In the last issue of the Courier
Twas very much impressed with
the article on good roads.
| believe that the people of
Morgan County are too indiffer-
ent upon the road question.
Don't understand me to say
that the people do not want good
roads, but they are either waiting
for the other fellow to make the
start or they feel that it will be
too great an expense for the good
that they will receive.
We are prone to look at the
real value of good roads from toe
small an angle. We try to figure
them from the standpoint of dol.
lars and cents. This it is well to
do, and | believe that If this was
the only rerson for building good
roads, that they should be built
throughout Morgan county.

question has been deliberately dis.

Bond Election.

In the road bond election held
in Bell county Feby. Is, there
were a total of 4041 votes cast,
and of this number only 375 votes
were cast against the bond pro-
position, making the majority
of 1866 in favor of the
bonds. In three precincts not a
single negative vote was cast.
The proposition was to issue bonds
to the amount of $3.50, 100000.
This decisive majority in favor
of good roads speaks volumes for

we'll for every voter in the county and especially the
landowners to give this question serious thought Study
it from the standpoint of your own and your chdrens
welfare 1t is not question to bemet and passed over
lightly When the people do their own thinking and form
their own conclusions upon matters Of general interest
they can usually be depended upon to do the proper thing
When the masses of the voters permit few to do
the thinking for them their action at the polls is not al
ways conducive to the best interests of the people,
Let us hope that the voters of this county will study
this important question seriously and carefully for upon
the result of this election the future prosperity Of Morgan
county largely depends.

Moraht's Figures for the
Western Field Said To
Be Far Too Low.

Rotterdam, Jan. s.-Major Moraht, IN
a long article in the "Berllner Tage-

Allies placing more men in the field,
and by series Of calculations arrives
AZ the conclusion that the greatest
number of new troops the Allies can
put into the western theatre Is 100000.
To reach this figure he assumes that
the 1915 class of French troops is al
ready in the fighting line, whereas in
reality il is only now being called up
and trained. He then comes to an APP
parently deliberate conclusion that
France. even by calling up Immediately
the 1916 class, can only put into the
field another 100000 men. though as
matter of fact the ordinary yearly levy
of fresh men is 100000.

BRITISH QUICKLY
RELEASE DENVER
Mallory Liner, Laden with
Cotton, Allowed to
Proceed to Bremen.
by Cable 10 The Tribune

London. Jan. S.-The American
steamer Denver. of the Mallory Line,
has been released. She was held twenty
hours while the detention was reported
TO London, and London sent instruc-
tions for the release. 1t was the lnten-
ton of the government to offer the
Denver no inconvenience, and the delay
of twenty hours is not considered here
as a serious interruption OF the Der
ver's voyage.
The Denver. il is declared. was taken
10 the Orkney Islands by British war
ship. The Mallory liner was en- route
from Norfolk for Bremen. laden with
cotton. which is nOn-contraband. and
the detention was made despite the fact
that the cargo was loaded under the
supervision of the British Consul at
Norfolk. 1t was declared at the For
eign Office that the government had
been notified Of the Denver's coming
and that she was free from suspicion
and that orders were telegraphed north
not to detain her.
Complaint was made at Washington
two DAYS ago that the British Ad-
miralty officials were OBTAINING the
Denver in the Orkneys. Washington
took the matter up through the Ameri-
can Ambassador in London.
