MEETING
SCALED
TO 0fsanizea Dixie Bee Line
Highway ASSOCia-
ton.
FOR CHRISTIAN COUNTY, Ky.
Date Is Next Tuesday at Ten
O'clock a. m. at II.
B. NJ. A.

President j. o. Cook, of the H. B.
M. A., has called a meeting for next
Tuesday at 10 o'clock for the pur-
pose of organizing the Dixie Bee
Line Association for Christian coun-
ty.
This step is necessary to keep pace
with other counties and to start the
actual planning for the gap of road
needed from Crofton to Warrington.
Decidedly the best route for this
road, at least a part Of the way,
would be the old abandoned roadbed
of the L. & N. railroad, which is al
ready graded and is much more di-
rect that the jacksonville road that
winds in and out among the hills
This may not be feasible, how
ever, since the impression prevails
that the L. & N. is not enthusiastic
over the possibility of having its line
paralleled by great motoring high.

SPEECHES AND SPEECHES
Including a Few Gas Bombs
Exploded By The
Visitors.

The banquet at Hotel Latham We'd
nesday night was a pleasant affa r
for Company d and the few guests
SO fortunate as to be on hand. After
the dinner had been served, Capt.
Henry j. Sites acted as POSTMASTER
and called for number of speeches,
presiding with grace and dignity.
Col. Jouett Henry was the first
speaker and gave the soldier boys
some very interesting and useful
shop talk" in relation to their COM
ing camp duties. The Colonel is al
ways a pleasing speaker and his ad-
dress was very entertaining.
Judge Walter Knight told briefly
of the pride Christian county feels in
the young men who compose Com
pany d.
Mr.. Geo. f. Garry paid al beauti-
full tribute to the virtues that go to
make a true soldier and eloquently
praised the boys.
Chas. M. Meacnam said he was
confident that the Hopkinsville boys
would perform their duties well,
whether called upon to dig trenches,
fight sham battles, lead the German
at the military ball or present arms
to the ladies.
Trad. Smith expressed his full
confidence in the claim that Hop,
kinsville boasted of the finest body
of soldiers in the State.
Clau!e r. Clark told in his inimit-
able way of the military ardor he
had always felt and while not anx-
ious to go to war himself he took
a just pride in having such fine
soldiers to do his fighting.
Thos. C. Underwood twitted Col.
Henry on taking up more than the
four minutes allowed the other
speakers, and entertained his hearers
with speech full of bright things.
Lieut.. Alvin H. Clark, on behalf OF
the Company, said some pleasant
things about the guests, and then
proceeded to make the best speech
of the evening, showing that all the
eloquence in the Clark family is not
possessed by his cousin Claude.

capital from the north.
They have not only captured msny

to Berlin, but have occupied Przas-

north of Warsaw, which was taken
by Won Hiudenburg last winter, bot
retaken by the Russians in their
counter offensive.
This claim is partly confirmed by

line.
Confirmation was received tonight
from General Sir Ian Hamilton Of
the success, which for some days the
allies were reported to have achieved
on the Gallipoli peninsula. Accord
ing to this report. two lines OF Turk
ism trenches were captured, with acc
prisoners. The Turks, however,
claim to have repulsed the allies at
tacks. As anticipated, progress
against the Turks is slow. But Brit
ish military authorities express sat-
isfactiOn with the gain of an oeca-
sional line of trenches, relying on
breaking the morale of the Turks
and on the exhaustion of their am
munition supply. Germany's eag-
erness to have Rumania allow the
passage of ammunition through that
country to Turkey is taken to mean,
that the supply is running short.

Takes Stock of Her Linen

Before buying a new supply Of lin
ems and bedding it is good idea to
60 over the supply already on hand
and see just what is needed. Some
times worn linens may be midtown
and old sheets may be turned and
made to last little while longer.
One women has the following to say
of the linen sales:
Before taking advantage of these
sales I go thoroughly over my own
linen closet. Worn tablecloths are
cut into small lunch cloths and the
ends, when hemmed, make attractive
tray cloths. Square napkins, which
have become ragged at the edges can
be cut into circular doilies and button
holed or neatly hemmed around the
edges to serve as luncheon doilies.
The sheets that are worn in the mid
die I tear in two and put together the
reverse way, thus bringing new
surface to stand the heaviest wear, OF
I cut down a large sheet for a crib
sheet and use the leftover portion fol
pillow case Bath towels that have
become worn ! cut up and hem neat
ly into new face cloths. By looking
my linen over carefully in this way
II know accurately what I need anc
am better prepared to lay in the new
supply"
