METHODIST CONFERENCE
May BE Held Next Fall in Hopkins
vile Instead of Princeton.

Hopkinsyille, Ky.-It is practical
ly assured that the 1917 meeting of
the Louisville conference of the
Methodist church South will meet
in Hopkinsville instead of in Prince
ton as had been arranged. mas
much as the one-hundredth anniver-
sary of the Princeton church comes
next year. the meeting of the con-
ference at that time is more desira-
BILE to that congregation.
The Methodists here have just
completed a handsome new church
building and they were very anxious
to have the conference meet in it
this year. So it was easy to get an
agreement as to the change, and the
only thing to make ii conclusive is
the approval of Bishop w. B. Muir
rah, of Memphis. who will preside
over this years session of the con-
ference. 1t is believed that Bishop
Murrah will readily consent to the
change.

SPRING ROAD WORK
THE MOST IMPORTANT
Say Specialists in the United
States Department OF
Agriculture.

In maintaining an earth road in
tolerable condition for spring traffic
the most important thing, say spec
ialists in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is to get the
water away from the road and to
keep it away. To get the best re-
suits, this should be done all
through the fall and winter. But,
in any event, it will pay the county
in the early spring to have the road
man go over the road daily to see
that drains and side bitches do not
become clogged. 1t is at this time
also that the road drag can be en-
ployed to the best advantage. By
clearing a roadway of slush and
melting snow, it will prevent the
water from soaking into and soften
ing the subgrade.
This work is especially important
II the road has been neglected
through the winter. Soil saturated
with water expands greatly when it
freezes. When 1t thaws out again
y has not only lost practically all its
po"er of sustaining the weight of
traffic. but II also is in a condition
that enables 1t to absorb water read
lily and form mud
Mudholes. in fact, are the cause of
most of the trouble on clay or gum
DO roads. To get rid OF them, the
FIRST step is to dig a trench to the
side and allow the water and mud
to drain on. II necessary. the side
bitches should be opened also. Az
ter this all OF the soft mud left in
