The staid, solid, settled and ner-

dignant last Monday morning be-
cause some one at the power house
was so foolish as to blow the wild
cat" fire whistle to help usher out
the old and usher in the New Year
at IL o'clock Sunday night. A
rcDrimand from the mayor has been
in order and probably delivered.
It is our intention to make The
PRoGREss in the year 1917 better
local paper than ever before-but
in the hurry and rush after the
holidays, the cleaning up, etc, Incl
dent to the first week after the hol-
idays, this is a mighty bad week to
wake a showing in that direction.
So, this week pass our imperfec-

ture.
Mrs. A. S. Stanford, who recently
came from Monroe, La, and went
to Nashville for the purpose of
undergoing surgical operation, re-
turned Wednesday from Nashville
to Lexington and was able to make
the trip alone, two weeks after the
operation was performed. Her Ex-
perience was a wonderful one in the
hospital and she now has promise
of becoming a stronger woman than
she has ever been before.
DR.. Fred C. Watson, who is one of
the Medical and Surgical Staff of
the United Fruit Company at Bocas
Del Terro, Panama, some 200 miles
North of Panama canal, left Tues
day after spending the holidays
here with his parents, DR.. and Mrs.
W. T. Watson, and family and his
host of friends. DR.. Fred informs
us that the company has $500 peo-
pie on their pay roll at Boces Del
Torro-and that it is but one Of the
many fruit growing points Of the
great United Company. He shows
that he has enjoyed perfect health
in the perpetual summer climate Of
Panama and signified no intention of
changing his quarters unless to en-
ter the Red Cross work in Europe
DR.. Watson will visit other places
before returning to Panama about
the first of February.

Water at Boiling Point,
The best driver keeps the water close
TO the boiling point in order to obtain
the hnost power from the engine and
still prevent overhcating There is an
intermediate period between overcool-
ing and over heating II the engine is
overcooled 1t loses power because the
heat units OF the burning gas are alb
sorbcd by the cold water in the water
jackets, II the engine is overcooled
the oil around the pistons and bearing
surfaces is burned increasing friction
and thus power is lost. The tempcra
ture Of the engine should be kept be
tween these two extremes
When the water jacket is hot les,
heat will be taken away from the cx.
ploding gas and more power will result
Therefore the water must be kept a'

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
Impression Ab0nt the Capitol is that
 It will Be a Sh0rt Session.

Little Rock. Oct. 23-With the Con sttution3l Convention drawing nearer, the impression strengthens about the capitol that it will be short session. State officials believe that Gov c. H. Brough will send a special message to the Convention requesting it to organ ize, appoint committees to make in vestigations that will permit the con- stitution they formulate to be strength ened by experience in other states, and then adjourn, to meet again in June and write the constitution to be voted on in the fall at the regular election. This course will get away from the expense and uncertainty of a special election.
 Another belief about the Capitol is that every official who has served more than one term, will have opposition. Th.s being the case. the contest in the coming Democratic primary will be a warm one.
