MEMBERS OF GOOD
 ROADSASSOC|AT|ON
 PLEASED AT RESULT
Good Roads Advocates From Twenty-Five States on Hand to Push
 the Work

The officers and members of the United States Good Roads association were very much pleased with the re- suits of the annual meeting which con- vened in Birmingham last Tuesday The meeting was we'll attended by an earnest set of good roads advocates from over 25 states in the union. The association went on record as favoring an appropriation for good roads before the government started on it's "prepar- edness" programme. It called upon the members in Congress to get together and make an adequate appropriation for good roads and stop wrangling- agree on a bill that will give the peo- pie good roads.
 The association, which is the first tionally, went on record calling on Congress to set aside a day to be known as good roads day." and ca1l- ing upon the people in every state in the union to observe the same.
 Twenty-Five prominent citizens from each state in the union were elected life members of the organization. These members will be members of the execu- tive council and will be entitled to all the privileges, courtesies and benefits of the association. Those citizens that were so fortunate to be honored with life membership are to be congratu- lated over the honor conferred upon them.
 The officers and members of the board of directors of this organization is composed of some of the ab1est good roads advocates in America, who are deeply interested in the advancement of good roads throughout the nation. 
 forced sale. To "seize their bodies" and cast them into jail would not mean getting the tax, but would mean throw : ing their families on the poor rate. The new method of treating the tax as a civil debt means that the debtor will be summoned before a county court judge and examined as to his ability to pay. The judge presumably will have to find that the debt Is owing, but he may make an order to pay by installme ents and English county court judges frequently, in cases where they think the creditor is harsh and the debtor genuinely unable to pay, make orders to pay at the rate of cent a month Judge Parry of London recent ly made an order of this kind on a money lenders claim, which will be discharged in some hundreds of years.
 On the whole, it is likely that by neglecting to collect the new income tax at the source the British govern ment will lose a large proportion of the increased revenue expected for just as it is impossible to indict 8 whole na- tion it Is impossible to county court any considerable section of nation

"What An Insignificant
 Insect Down There"

Said one of a group of persons who were hanging over the dizzy parapet of skyscraper, as an auto mobile wheeled up to the curb below and man alighted and went into the building.
 And yet that noble structure with its majestic ex teror and complexity of modern utilities within, ex sted as an idea in the mind of that insect long be- fore it took concrete form in steel and marble
 Although the picture of this splendid building was complete in the mind of the who had planned it, he knew that time required to transfer 1t from the realm of the mental into the physical. A multi tude of processes must take place and he must be patient with them. No matter how brilliantly gloWed the picture in his mind he must repress haste and allow the steps of it's construction to follow each other in their proper order. But he saw the end through it all and knew that it would be reached or later.
 A little more than year ago we had an idea as in spring this vision of the magnificent building in the architects mind and called it The Trustees System of Industrial Banking. We knew the work ing and salary of the Birmingham dis trict ought to have bank of their own, where they could borrow money at reasonable terms and on longer time than the commercial banks could let them have it, and also have the opportunity of shar ing in the profits accrung from the lending of this money and from other operations of their bank This vision stupendous in it's constructive possibili- ties, but we knew there substance to lt-that 1t could be worked out with the same certitude that mind picture of the architect His was the easier task, for he had to deal with fixed quantities which had been handled time and time again; whereas our idea an untried experiment..
 We never wavered however, because we knew that it would ultimately demonstrate itself, and all we had to do was to take step at time and wait for results. These quicker and in larger measure than we had anticipated. The beginning of the New Year the foundations of our structure solidly laid in assets which had been accumulated in year of severe test and trial.
 The walls rising every day. but when the final touch will be put to the roof cannot say for this vision of ours is growing all the time-newer and larger possibilities in industrial banking are contin ually revealing themselves. But we refuse to be hurried. We shall continue to take that step at a time until we attain the summit of our ever-growing idea

MILLIONS
STARVING
Appeal For Relief For the
Destitute Armenians
Is Made.

In compliance with President Will
sons proclamation and appeal to the
American people in behalf of the dis
tressed and starving millions of Ar
menia, Syria, Persia and Palestine,
DR.. Powell of the Methodist church
brought the condition of those people
to the attention Of his congregation
Sunday and an offering Of $40 was
promptly made. "a
This is an appeal that should move
every church, organization, family
and individual in Hopkinsville.
The Armenians in this country have
already contributed one million dol
lars for the relief Of their country
men. But not more than one fifth of
the money needed has so far been
contributed to keep these starving
millions from extinction.
Mr.. Ira L. Smith, at the City Bank
& Trust Company, is the treasurer of
this relief fund and if you desire to
help you can hand or send to him
your contribution. But let us all help,
for calls of distress do not come this
way in vain. This is one of the times
when our people of Hopkinsville and
Christian county will rally as one man
to the help of starving Armenia, Syria,
Persia and Palestine.

Toadskins Cure Dropsy.

Toads have always been looked up
on as loatlsome and even poisonous by
country people. From the skins, how
ever of toads, Guacks in the middle
ages used to make all sorts of medl.
cines TO sell to their patients
The remarkable discovery has been
made by Doctor Abel that the quacks
were not so far wrong as many people
thought He made a study of a giant
tropical toad found in the river Anna
zon, and from its skin he extracted a
remarkable substance which cures
dropsy.
OF course it has long been a grand
mothers remedy TO cure dropsy by
means of the skin of a toad, and IL
was to find out IL there was any truth
in the remedy that Doctor Abel began
experimenting. The same substance
he found in this tropical species he
has also found in the common toad.
Soon doctors will prescribe, perhaps
boiled toad and caper sauce for drop
steal patients.

Gases in the Cities.

The offices, factories and tenements
fill in their ranks and stand shoulder
to shoulder IN their endless drill of
goose-stepping economic efficiency.
And yet, If we stop to think what
makes a city worth living in, it is
perfectly sure that wiser generation
than ours must open GASES in our ar
chitectural deserts, must multiply our
flowing Waters, purify them, widen the
banks and set them with parks. In
these things are the welfare assets OF
a city; while offices, docks, factories,
etc, are mechanical devices
for enabling more people to win leis-
ure and enjoy them.-Colllsr's Weekly.

League Of American Sports
men Urges Nation Wide
Campaign.

The League Of American Sports
men, whose object is the preservation
Of wild life, is considering the ques-
ton of inaugurating nationwide
campaign for the destruction of the
English sparrow. Its officers says
this bird has made such Roadway
here that it is driving out the smalle-
song and insectivorous birds, and
that il has become a question of
whether we shall have only the Eng
lish sparrow to represent our bird
life or destroy il and resign some so
species of useful and beautiful birds
that used to inhabit cities, farms and
countryside all over the land
The League intends to ask the Gov
ernor of each state to issue procla-
nation declaring war on the English
sparrow and setting aside a week,
possibly in April or May of next year,
to be devoted especially to destroying
nests of this pe-nicious pest. Printed
instructions as TO the plan Of the cam
paign will be sent to the Mayors OF
all incorporated cities and villages, to
the heads of the ss..ool systems in ev-
cry county, to college Presidents, to
Principals of preparatory schools, to
the heads of the Boy Scouts in each
State, and other organizations which
might be expected ty extend synlpa-
thy and aid
Four principal methods OF action
will be employed: Tearing down the
nests, trapping the birds, shooting
them under police supervision aid
under liceAseS issued by the police
author les, and, in cities where water
pressure IS available, turning the i .se
on the birds at night after they have
gone to roost.

Socialist Fanatic.

The assassination of the Austrian
premier, Karl Stuergkh, in Vienna,
Friday, was political and was induced
by his refusal to convene parliament
according to the admission of DR..
Friedrich Adler, his assistant, short
ly after his arrest. DR.. Adler is an
eccentric ard supernatural socialist,
sometimes known as the "Liebknecht
of Austria" He is editor Of Der
Kampf At first he declined to re
veal his motives, but after being
locked up he broke down and de-
clared that premier's political policies
had led him to do TIE deed. DR.. Adj
ler's arrest was hot accomplished
without the wounding OF two men
who leaped at him after he fred on
Count Stuerghk. Then he discharged
the two remaining chambers of his
revolver at the men before Austrian
and German officers with drawn
swords overpowered him. The
wounded men, who were injured
slightly, are Baron Aehrenthal, broth
err of the late foreign minister, and
the head waiter of the hotel Meissel
and Schadn, in which the shooting
occurred. ..'....

Detroit, Oct. pa strange psych-
illogical case, in which the love of
mother for her son, by some queer
mental twist has developed into the
feeling which grows up between a

other day when Mrs. George M. Lali-
verte, SO years old, silvery-haired and
with the marks of life of toll upon
her, became the wife of her adopted
son Joe, now a man of 80.
Smiling through her tears and in
ordinately happy, Mrs. Laliverte
whose name still remains the same,
although she was divorced several
year ago, received congratulatory
cas- from her neighbors in her home
in Highland Park.

DOG WITH AN INDIVIDUALITY
Noveffst's Pet Had Many PeouIIsrities.
Some Of Which Were the Cause
Of Embsrrassmenty

During a summars sojourn In herI
native home in Texas. Mrs T. P.I
O'Connor. the taleu.ed wife OF "TayI
Pay" wrote a book on the traits and
individual characteristics OF variousI
dogs that she has owned or known.
While in New York. on the eve OF herI
return 10 England, she was inter
viewed by a representative OF the Newl
York Sun, to whom she told the foil
lowing story OF a dog owned by Bari
RE, the famous novelist and dtamatist-
The dog was evidently the prototypel
of the Newfoundland in Barrie's Lit
tie White Bird"
Mr.. Barrie told me this story" said
Mrs. O'Connor. "He said that the dogl
had a craze for dolls. They would
pass a shop, and the dog would seeI

Barrie priced the dolls. the clerk
would Invariably ask how old was tho
child for whom II was intended. And
because he was ash9med to say that
the doll was for the dog. he would
reply: -Four years. as that was the
age Of the Newfoundland.
"One Sunday they went to church
In the country. The dog had been
left outside. But he refused to be sep
arated from his family. At the first
opportunity he squeezed through the
door, and Mr. Barrie beheld him march
ing up the aisle as the congregation
were waiting for the service to begin.
with a fascinated gaze his owner
watched him make his numbering way
to the pulpit stairs and then ascend
them. He looked all round, turning
bis head this way and that. in search
of his master. Then, to gain better
vantage. he put his forepaws on the
Bible desk and calmly stood there on
his hind legs, surveying the assembled
congregation.

his responsibility for such behavior,

BOOSTERS
THIRD TRIP
Big SUCCESS
CONTINUED From First Page).

Wood we're the speakers for the
boosters. Mr.. Wood was in sight of
his old home and his mother was
present The boosters crowded
about her to praise her son and il was
a happy moment for her to find her
boy the spokesman for the business
men of his adopted city. Mr.. Wood
proved to be one of the best speakers
on the trip.
The crowd left Hopson's nearly an
hour late for a 12-mile run to Cadiz,
where they were due at l2:40.
Here again the delay interfered with
the meeting, as the school, which
had been let out for the speaking, had
to reassemble while the hungry
crowd was getting dinner. Z.
The Cadiz people gave a most
cordial reception. A committee that
filled seven automobiles met the
boosters mile from town and es-
corted them in. After dinner adj
dresses of welcome were made by
John Crenshaw and Mayor Blame, af-
ter which the boosters presented as
their spokesman R. E. Cooper, j. T.
Wall, Jas. West, H. H. Alternately,
John Sites and Chas. M. Meacham.
Claude Clark presided and the or
chestra gave several musical num-
bers.
The party left for Canton little az
ter o'clock and upon arrival found
the whole town attending a funeral.
The few people present were adj
dressed by L. K. Wood, H. H. Aber-
nathy, R. E. Cooper and Jas. West.
II was then too late to cross the
river and the Golden Pond trip had
to be abandoned.
The run from Canton home was
made by o'clock. This the third
trip was not as big trip as the 9TH
.ers, but it was quite successful and
was undoubtedly productive of good.
This is probably the last one for
this season.
