Just Why We sneeze.

Sneezing may be due to one of a
number of causes. A bright light will
cause many people to sneeze, as also
the pollen OF certain plants, while
there are few people but will sneeze
in the presence of dust. When you
have a cold the sneezing ia due TO an
attempt by nature to cure you. She is
trying to make you sneeze for the
same purpose that she wants you to

the blood and preventing you from

More than 80 per cen of the timber
in the Philippines is owned by the
government and is worked through
concessions and licenses, as no land
more valuable for timber than fer ag-
riculture can be bought. The valuable
trees Of the same species are often,
scattered through the forests instead
of being grouped, and this makes lum-

In another column appears the
announcement of DR.. L. G. Nell,
of Gradyville, as candidate for
the Republican nomination to
represent Adair and Cumberland
counties in the next Legislature.
Mr.. Nell islso well known to the
people of these counties that it
is not necessary for US to intro
duce him, but in justice to his
ambition we must say that he is
a gentleman of ability-a mar of
quick perception and whose 10y
atty to his party never wanes.
He is we'll versed in parliamentary
rulings. having represented this
Legislative District in 1903 and
later on was elected as repre-
sentative of the 10Th Senatorial
District. AS Senator and Repre-
sentative he was one of the &C.
tive members, served on some Of
the most important committees
and secured the passage of some
good and wholesome laws. He
was chairman of the Senate COM
mittee on Public Health, and it
was largely due to his efforts
that the pure food law was
placed on the statute books. As
a Republican he has always been
on the firing line and has been
loyal and unfinching to his party
organization and its nominees.
1t is his purpose to see as many
of the people as he can before the
August primary and places his
announcement in The News trust.

all other officers, agents and en-
ployees, who could, by a refusal
to act, have prevented the wrong
full expenditure of any funds, are
jointly liable for the money;
and they can also be proceeded
against criminally and fined Five
Hundred Dollars and imprisoned
for as long as one year (Sec. A.
psi Ky. Statutes.)
TIME OF BONDS.
@. What does the law provide
as to the time these bonds may
run
A. That these bonds shall not
run less that five nor more than
thirty years, and be redeemed
within that time at the pleasure
of the Fiscal Court, as the funds
may be available. In other
words, the bonds would be like a
note payable on or before the
due date at the pleasure of the
maker.
COST OF BAD ROADS.
@. How do bad roads cost the
people of the county more than
it would to build good roads b?
A. The extra cost the farmers
of the county now pay every
year to market their crops over
bad roads is more than their
proportion of tax would be to
build good roads. And it often
happens that farmers can not
market their crops when prices
are highest, because of the con-
dition of the roads ; but they are
compelled to sell at low prices
when the roads are in condition
so that deliveries can not be made
They can not take advantage of
the market when 1t is highest.
@. Who would be benefited
most by building good roads
through the county ?
A. The people out in the coun-
ty would receive the most direct
and immediate benefits, but ev-
cry citizen in the county would
be directly or Indirectly benefit
ted. The work of constructing
the roads would give immediate
employment to idle labor and
stimulate every kind of business |;
and the roads, when constructed,
would continue a profitable in
vestment and a blessing to future
generations.
The Adair County news., 1915-06-16

and how are our roads to be
built in order to secure the State
aid?
A. The law provides that plans,
specifications and profile of the
road work to be done shall be
prepared and submitted to the
Fiscal Court, and to the commits
sioner of public roads at Frank
fort, and receive the joint ap-
prevail of the commissioner Of
public roads and the Fiscal Court
of the County. All work must
be done by contract and both the
state and the county must ap-
prove the work as coming up to
the contract before the contract
or is to receive his pay for the
work, and at least five per-
centum of the contract price shall
not be paid to the contractor I'M
til after the expiration of one
year from the completion of the
work.
@, Does the contractor give
bond to do the work according to
the plans and specifications ap-
proved for the building of our
roads?
A. Yes. The amount of the
bond is fixed in a sum not less
than the amount of the cost of
said work.
@. Does the present road law
contemplate the joint inspection
and supervision of roads by the
state and county engineer to see
that proper materials are being
used and the work being proper
ly done =?
A. Yes.
PROTECTION AFFORDE D
TAXPAYERS.
q. Can the money derived
from the bond issue be expend.
ed for any other purpose than
building roads ?
A. No Section 1907 Kentucky
Statutes, provides, "That all the
moneys raised by the sale OF
bonds shall be used solely anC
alone for the building, construct
ing, reconstructing of roads OIL
stone; gravel, etc."
@. If any Of this money wa!
used for any other purpose, wht
would be responsible ?

Court, County Treasurer, anG

GOOD ROADS CATECnISM
Read and be Convinced,
Then Talk Good Roads
and the Bond Issue.

McCreary county is now ag-
itating the bond question, and
the same condition exists there
as here. We publish the follow
ing from The Pine Knot News,
because it is applicable to Adair
county:
@. Are you in favor of voting
the bond issue of S125,000, to
build good roads in McCreary
county?
A. Yes.
@. Why?
A l Because the county can Sc
cure State aid to the same
amount of money that we vote
bonds to be spent in construct
ing or reconstructing our county
roads under the direction of the
Commissioner of Public Roads.
2 Because the people of the
county would Immediately real
ize the benefit of good roads, as
a bond issue would enable the
county to improve all it's main
roads; whereas building from
year to year. as funds are avail
able from each years taxes,
would indefinitely postpone the
completion of a suitable and ad-
equate road system in the coun-
ty.
3 Because our roads could be
constructed at much less cost per
mile if the construction thereof
was contracted for in large mile
age.
a Because the financial condi-
ton of our country is such that a
sinking fund to pay off the bonds
can be easily met out of the cur
rent revenue of the county with
out increasing the levy on the
taxable property in the county.
5 Because bad roads are now
costing the people of this county
more than they would be taxed
to pay for good roads.
6 Because the county schools
and churches and Sunday Schools
would not have to practically
suspend during certain seasons
of the year on account of the in
ability of pupils and congrega-
lions to travel the public road.
! STATE AID EXPLAINED.
@. What is meant by State aid
for building roads?
A. The State Legislature in
1914 passed a law levying a spec
ial tax to be known as the State
aid tax. The amount of this tax
is five cents On every one hun
dred dollars of taxable property
in the State. The State will
gay to those counties applying
for State aid, and building roads
under the direction of the com.
mission of public roads, an
amount equal to one-half of the
moneys appropriated for build
ing roads by any county.
@. Would the State include the
interest paid by the county or
the bonds as moneys appropri'
ated for building roads," anc
pay back one-half of the interest
paid by the county on it's roaC
bonds?
A. Yes. Subsection 5 of Act
; of 1914 expressly so provides.
