MAY RAISE PRICE HERE

1t is reported that the Central
Kentucky Natural Gas Co. will, be-
ginning September LIST, increase the
price of their product to 40 cents
per thousand feet. We understand
that this is the highest price the
company can charge under their
franchise and that every city serv-
ed by them will be treated in the
same manner. The contemplated
raise will effect only those who use
less than 5000 feet per month. 1t
is also reported that a minimum
charge of so cents per month will
be made for meter service whether
that amount of gas is used or not.

NO DRAFT NUMBERS DRAWN

The report last Thursday evening
that the selective draft numbers
had been drawn was erroneous and
there was absolutely no foundation
in the report which was spread
broadcast over the country. 1t is
highly probable that the drawing
will be done according to serial
numbers and on another page in this
issue will be found the name of ev-
cry man registered in Montgomery
county and his serial number. 1t is
thought about 100000 names will
be drawn and it is believed the draw
ing will take place the middle or
latter part of the present week.

USEFUL life
IS ENDED
Mr.. T. F. Rogers, ST., for Many
Years Leading Citizen, Dies
Monday Afternoon.

A long useful Christian life came
to close Monday afternoon when
the Grim Reaper took from our
midst Mr.. Thomas F. Rogers, Sr.
Mr.. Rogers had been in failing health
for several years but death came UNI
expectedly and was severe shock
to his family and friends. Mr..
Rogers was 20 years old, an elder
and leading member of the Presby-
terrain church and always took great
interest in church affairs and as
long as his heath would permit was
a regular attendant at all services.
In his contributions to the Masters
cause he was always most liberal
and for many years was one of the
officers of his church. Mr.. Rogers
was a prominent member of the Odd
Fellows Lodge, being former
Grand Master of this State. He
was engaged in the merchandise
business here for long time, but
quit that to engage in other affairs
up until the time of his retirement
was engaged in the insurance and
real estate business with his son,
Mr.. 7. Foster Rogers.
A fine business man, just, honest
and fair in all his dealings, he had
the confidence and respect Of all,
and in the passing of this good
man the community has suffered a
heavy loss.
Deceased is survived by his wife,
one daughter, Miss Charlotte, and
three sons, James, of Eustis,
Fla; Harry of Kansas City, Mo-,
and T. Foster, of this city. Funeral
services will be conducted by Rev.
Yeaman Thursday, but the hour has
not been decided upon.

CHAUTAUQUA
FOR FOR NEXT YEAR
802 Tickets Signed For and the
Redpath Will Return Here
Next Summer.

The Redpath Chautauqua closed
its weeks engagement in this city
Saturday night with concert by
Creatore's band. The announcement
that 500 tickets had been signed for
for next summer was received with
much enthusiasm as only 700 tickets
were required to be sold to guar
antee the return of this splendid
chautauqua bureau.
Chautauqua week in Mt. Sterling
is ALWAYS the feature week of the
summer amusements and the Red
path people offer a splendid pro
gram which proves quite popular
with local enthusiasts, and is both
entertaining and elevating.
The features of the program this
year were lectures by Harry L.
Fogleman, B. F. Mcdonald, Lieut..
Robt. Bowman, and Geo. L. McNutt;
The Bohemian Orchestra; Beulah
Buck Ladies' Quartet; "The
Mikado," and the 'Mother Goose
Festival" Several other features
on the program were enjoyed by
large number but we believe the
above mentioned features were by
far the most popular with a major
ity of the crowds that attended.
The Advocate is indeed glad that
we are to have another Chautauqua
next summer, and we are equally de-
lighted that the Redpath Bureau will
put it on as we believe they secure
the very best available talent and
always have pleasant and compe-
tent corps of assistants in charge.

ter before the Attorney General OF
Kentucky and below will be found
both his letter and copy of his
opinion:
July 5, 1917
Mr. Keller Greene,
Mt. Sterling, Ky.
Dear Sir:
We have your letter of the 4th
inst. in which you ask to be advised
if woman who was in Mt. Sterling
on the regular registration day and
not sick but failed to register, can
register at the approaching sup
Elemental registration. I find that
this department has passed upon
this identical question and I am en-
closing to you herewith copy of
the opinion, in which it lis held that
women may register although they
were within the city on the registra-
ton day and not physically incapac-
itated for registering on that day.
Yours very truly,
d. o. Wyatt,
Asst Attorney General
April 20, 1917
Mr. Stephen T. Davis
Winchester, Ky.
Ny Dear Sir:
have yours of the 18th asking
for my construction of Section 1850
subsection la and 20 of the Ken
lucky Statutes, with particular ref
erence to registration by women in
years when school elections are to
be held in which women are entitled
to vote.
My attention had heretofore been
called to these sections or sub-sec-
tons, and it is my opinion that it
was the intention of the General AS
sembly, by the passage of sub-sec-
ton la, to give women the right to
SPECIALLY register in any year in
which elections are held in which
women may participate, without
reference to whether or not they
were precluded from registering at
IA general registration in the pro-
ceeding year, for any of the reason
set out in paragraphs l, 2, or of
dissection 20 of Section 1850
Kentucky Statutes. 49,
1t will be noticed that la is an
amendment, passed in 1914, to the
original act of 1912. The Legisla-
ture evidently had in mind some
method or provision whereby women
could be specially registered in
years in which school elections
were held, probably based on the
fact that in some years no such
elections would be held, and there
be no reason for a previous registra-
ton by momen. Unless this con-
should be placed on sub
section liza, it would be without
force or effect, because women, who
are required to register, would be
entitled to all privileges extended
and allowed by subsection 20,
subsection la were or
were not enacted, and it cannot be
presumed that the Legislature had
enacted a vain law.
Therefore, L think that sub-sec-
ton la provides a class not pro-
vided for in 20, that may be spec
ALLY registered as provided for in
20, without regard to any of the
reason for failure to register as set
gut therein. Yours truly,
Assistant Attorney General
l shall therefore in conformity |
with the above opinion be prepared |
% register all women in Mt Ster-
ing who failed to register on the |
regular registration day, the Special ,
Registration to be held at my Office
n the Court House on Saturday |
July 21st. Keller Greene,

WORK OF LEVEuNC BEACH
LANDS SHOWING RESULTS
Large Portion of Original Unit Pre-
pared for Seeding BY Aid of
Giant Tractors

That portion of the Carson Lake
| tract which has been in course of de-
/ velopment for several weeks past
under the direction of the T. S. Rec
lamation department, has reached
such a state of completion as to con-
vey lesson in the right preparation
of land that is worthy of the careful
attention of every settler on the pro-
ject.
Already 4S0 acres have been level
ed and prepared for seeding, in fact
one eighty is already seeded. and the
appearance of the acreage thus far
finished is that of one vast floor, so
evenly has this work been done.
The success of this undertaking is
due to the fact that the various
units were prepared according to a
carefully worked out plan and al
ways with the main purpose to
achieve the best results through per-
feet irrigation and drainage. Those
in charge of this work NAV feel JUS
titled in their expectations for a
larger productiveness from land so
prepared as in every feature of the
work Nature has received all the aid
that human mind and experience
could render
As rapidly as possible the. remain
ing portion of the 1400 acres will be
similarly treated and in due time
thrown open for settlers. In the
meantime the 4S0 acres will be
leased under two years agreement
TO be farmed in accordance with
plans defined by the Reclamation
Service. No action looking to open
ing UP these units can be taken until
decision is reached by the Wash
ingtm authorities upon the legality
of expending any part of the funds
appropriated for the reclamation of
lands to this development work.
The building of bitches and levees
on this tract will be undertaken at
once. The entire work of leveling
checking and general construction
has been done under the direction of
+. N Cronholme superintendent Of
construction engineers, portion of
whose time has been given to the
undertaking, F. e. Gibbs and r. A.
Wauchob, the latter mechanician, in
charge of tractors and for mart of
each day driving one of the ma
chimes.
1t is to be hoped that suggestion
made to plant trees around the
tract may be adopted as their value
would be found to be not only in the
welcome shade afforded but also in
tie added beauty to the long stretch
of avenue bordering on this tract.
