BOND ISSUE BEST
Is the Opinion of President of
the Southern Appalachian
Good Roads Assn.

Mr.. Gus Staverson,
Mt. Vernon. KY.
Dear sir:
understand that there is cam
p"ign on in your county tor bond
issue for building good roads.
lam especially interested in the
promotion of road building thru
out the Southern Appalachian re-
gion in connection with my affilia-
ton with the Southern Appalach
ian Good Roads Association, and
wish to say a word of encourage
ment to you in connection with
this bond issue.
Some of the reasons why be-
lieve a county should vote bonds
for road building are:
First. The issuance of bonds
by a county would mean but
small increase in taxes which, as
the years 90 by, will be much
more than counteroalanced by the
increased net income which the
farmers In the county will be able
to make. due to improved roads,
Second. 1t makes available
sufficient funds to render possible
he accomplishment of the con-
structiou of a definite number of
miles of roads within a definite
time, while to obtain the same
number of miles within the Same
time by direct tax is practically
prohibitory on account ofthe high
rate of tax which it would re-
quire.
There is no valid reason why a
county should not utilize its credit
and thus obtain the benefit of an
asset which every successful man
desires as a prerequisite his
success aud advancement.
There ought to be no fear of
bonds, for business is based on Gre
dit. and IN many States, l should
say, the volume of business is
probably carried on upon less than
twenty per cent, of cash invest
ment.
The policy of 'pay as you 60"
has been preached and nsed to the
detriment of many States, and it
will be found that many, if not the
majority of those who preach this
doctrine, would and do operate on
borrowed capital when they can
manage it.
The complaint that We must
consider posterity is an argument
which should receive little or no
consideration.
Are We not posterity ourselves.
and Is it not fair and equitable
arrangement that future genera
tons should pay for a portion of
the improvements on our public
roads, as they will derive just as
great benefit from them as we do?
1 trust that your county will be
able to not only provide the means
for constructing your link of Il e
historic Boone Way, but that you
will be able to provide the means
for building a system of roads for
your entire county, which will
mea /, so much toward its future
advancement.
If I can be of any service to yon
call upon me.
With best wishes. / am,
Sincerely yours.
JOSEPH HADE PRATT,
/, Presideut-T Treasurer.

READING OF MR.. gRYAN's HAND.
BY a Palmist Who Did Not Know
Who 1t Was.

The st, Louis Post-Dispatch tells
us that a few days before william
Jennings Bryan's melodramatie resig
nation as Secretary of State, he lcaus'
ed a plaster mask of his face and a
cast of his hand to be made by Gut
zon Borglum. the well-known sculp-
tor and painter. The cast of Mr..
Bryans hand, where of course Athe
lines accurately given, was Stud
led by palmist who was unaware OF
the identity of her subject Her con
illusions follow
As a whole, the hand denotes great
emotional qualities. executive ability
and utter freedom of expression The
width of the waist of the thumb in
dicates complete lack of tact, and
the idealistic effect of the index
finger is damaged by the inward
slope of the top joint-which means
commereialism.
The distance between the index
finger and the second finger is indica
tive OF independence of thought: in
dependence of action is denoted by
the distance between the third and
fourth fingers.
The distance between the heart
line (Which runs from the outside of
the palm up under the second finger)
and the headline (Which runs direct
ly below and parallel, to the heart.
line) bespeaks thorough broad
mindedness, with a leaning toward
mysticism. n MM
The mount of Luna (extending on
the outside of the palm from below
the heartline to the wrist is over
developed and is mark of an ex-
aggerated imagination.
The slight taper at the end OF the
thumb denotes refinement. The first
phalange of the thumb indicates
vigorous will; the second, sound
logic; and the third, strong affec-
tionc.
The peaks in the middle of the first
phalanges of the fingers indicate
genius; but the absence of squares
between the bases of the finger
marks the owner as one who is easily
carried away by his emotions with
out fully analyzing things.
Finally, the little breaks and
Jumps in the heart-line denote poign-
ant disappointment.

Time is the best test of truth
Here is a Bennington story that
has stood the test of time. 1t is a
story with point which will come
straight home to many of us.
r. j. Taylor, Bennington, says:
For several years, had backache,
directly over my kidneys. 1t came
and went at regular intervals at first,
but for the last two or three years, it
annoyed me almost constantly. Then
| had headaches and dizziness and a
cold always made me worse. was
compelled to pass the kidney secre-
tions too often. was advised to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and l procured
them at Coles Drug Store They
did me a great deal of good soon af-
ter | commenced taking them. The
pain in my back left and the other
troubles were removed"
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr..
Taylor said "Time has not altered
my high regard for Doans Kidney
Pills and ! willingly endorse them
again. For some years l have been
free from kidney trouble"

fireworks were piled up on the
ground, somebody accidentally threw
