The we'll is now down about $50

IS always found before striking the

oil is always found where the
black shale appears but it is a fact
that the black shale is found, be

cations of a good strike become
more hattering each day and the
memb ers of the Rockcastle Oil

are going to strike oil right where
they are now drilling. If a good

cars started, three Fords, one
Packard, one Hudson, one Buick
and one Overland. The Fords
reached Mt. Vernon and that was
all. Several left their broken
down cars at Middlesboro and took
the train for Lexington. Those
who started in the Fords, kept
plugging right ahead, although,
they only had two and three cyl

places as last year. The two new
members are Miss Ruth Mullins,
second and third grades, and Mr..

grades. The Mt. Vernon Graded
and High School is one of the few
accredited schools found in towns
the size of Mt. Vernon. Prof
Lyon mentioned this fact in his
short talk to the pupils and pat

10 maintain this standard, coop.
Grafton must be had from pat

Let US hope for one of the best
years in the history of the school

stead of knocking, have your
children spend their evenings at

at least two hours study each
evening irstead of spending then
Evenings loafng on the streets

does not study, to make the same
progress as your neighbours chilc
which has the study period a

part, see that your child does it:
part, and when the close of the
year is Lere, the kicks which otter
come from dissatisfied patrons
will not be heard. If your child
does not get on the honor rol
don't blame the teacher. you ant
your child are the ones. If you

censure the faculty. the trouble i

Democrats in Congress are not IN
harmony with President Wilson and
his policies.
On August 5, 1916, while the con-
ference report on the naval bill was
being considered by the House, Rep
resentatiye Claude Kitchin, Demo-
cratic floor leader and chairman of
the ways and means committee. said.
II wish had time TO go further into
details as the enorInity OF this out
rageous, insane program. In my
Judgment, when order is restored In
Europe 1t will be fresh menace to
the peace and humanity of the world.
1t condemns our pretentions to In
ternational arbitratlons. and a world
peace as hypocrisy and mockery"
In letter to c. L. Koon. OF Win
ston. n. c.. In November. 1915, Mr..
Kitchln said: 81 shall oppose the
big army and navy program with all
the earnestness and power l possess.
In the FIRST place, practically all the
Republicans will vote for It, In the
hecond place although | know that
the conviction OF four-ffths Of the
Democrats are opposed to 1t. many
Of them. fear, large majority. will
fling away their convictions on this
question to please the president and
do his will.
In a Senate speech on June o,
1914. Senator Tillman had this to
say about the repeal of the law per-
hitting American vessels to pass free
of toll charges through the Panama
canal: 1T is startling and almost
ludicrous. this proposition. and I re-
greet that 1t becomes necessary to re-
pudiate the Democratic platform
which is plain. explicit and easily
understood. -" It cannot be vim
dlcated and posterity will condemn
it."
Speaker Clark said in the House,
on March 81, 1914. regarding the re-
peal Of free tolls: The amazing re-
quest Of the president for the repeal,
like the peace OF God, passeth all
understanding"
Senator Vardman, of Mississippi,
on June 10. 1915, discussing the ship
purchase bill In the Senate said: 1T
is mistaken policy, wrong in morals
and pernGious in principle"
Senator Overman in a speech in the
Senate on August 6. 1916. said:
The proposed child labor legislation
should be submitted to the states in
the form OF constitutional amend
mcnt. It is to put a state under
durcss and compel 1t to do that which
some states have done in order 10
have uniformity"
Postmaster General Burleson Is
sued an order In which he had the
endorsement of Secretary McAdoo,
directing postma7ters in small towns
10 collect checks without exchange
charges from state banks not mem
bers OF the reserve system. Demo.
cratic leader Kitchin, Bnid regarding
this: "If the order stands North

! 900. This is'the most revolutionary
and unjustiiied order ever issued by
any department of this government"
| Representative Fitzgerald. Demo-
cratic chairman of the committee on
appropriations, had this to say in the
House, April f. 1914: Whenever I
think OF the horrible mess that l
shall be called upon to present to
the country on behalf of the Demo
cratic party am tempted to quit my
place. They seem to take II to
be huge joke not to obey their
platform"
