A ROAD TAX WITHOUT BONDS
OR DEBT.

In many counties the people are
willing to vote a good road tax, but
they do not want to create bonded
debt or any debt, and to permit the
people in any county to vote road
tax without debt or bonds there was
passed at the special session OF 1917
an act that allows any county to
vote an annual tax in any sum not
exceeding 20 cents on the one
hundred dollars to be used in build
ing new roads and repairing old ones.
Already several counties have voted
this tax and will collect it this year.
The tax can be voted at either
special election or the regular No
vember election Counties that
want this tax can vote it by ma
iority vote at the next November
election and have the benefit of it on
the roads next year, as the Fiscal
Court can borrow next spring 80 per
cent. of the amount the tax will raise
and begin work on the roads early IN
the year, paying the borrowed money
out of the tax collected in that year
when collected; and under this act
no debt can be created in any year
that can not be paid out of the tax
tax collected in that year. Inc
books must be balanced at the end OF
each year and there is no debt to be
carried over. The money raised by
this tax need not be used on Inter
County-Seat Roads or State Roads.
It can be put on any road or
bridge that the Fiscal Court wants
ito build or repair.
The tax voted may be 5, 10, Is or
20 cents on the one hundred dollars
and it may be voted for one year or
any number of years not exceeding
ten. All counties that want good
roads without bonds or debt and
that can not raise enuogh money I'M
der the present so cents tax to keep
the roads in repair should vote this
tax. Get a copy of this new law
from your County Clerk or write to
me and 1 will send you copy. Vote
the 20 cents tax at the November
election and begin your road work
next spring.

/ Richard H. Wills, of Paris,
bought forty head of fine horses at
Flemingsburg, Monday.
The herd of Duroc hogs of Cold
stream Farm, on the Newtown pike,
near Lexington, under the manage
ment of George Clayton, formerly Of
Bourbon, has taken 65 premiums at
three Southern State Fairs.
Mr.. r. H. Jordan, of Atlanta,
Ca, Is in this county looking for
good horses. While here he visited
most of the stock farms and made a
number of purchases
At Winchester this week p. G..
Lisle of this county, sold a wean-
ling mule to Clark county parties
for $50. R. L. Penn bought a horse
mule from l.. B. Burgher, of Win
chester, for 500.
Two hundred and fifty-six
sheep were sold by Auctioneer B. B.
Peak, at Georgetown, Tuesday, at
prices ranging from $13 to SIC per
head. Fifteen buck lambs sold for
SIS to $1O.25 per head, thirteen
bucks at from $40 to $40 each.
Three steer calves brought $32 per
head; two mule colts brought $55
and $3.50 each; three heifers sold
for $25 per head.
Boots, winner of the Suburban
and Brookdale handicaps this year,
and probably the best horse in the
stable of A. X Macomber, had to
be destroyed at Lexington as the
result of breaking his leg. The
gelding was in the paddock
and stumbled in a hole, causing the
injury. Mr.. MacOmber is said to
have paid $4,000 for Boots when
he purchased him.
-Chas Best, of Paris, was one of
the leading winners with his stable
of show horses at the Tennessee
State Fair, at Nashville, last week.
He was first in the 3gaited saddle
class with Mi Lady Jane; first in the
heavy harness class with Jack Wads-
worth; first in the fine harness team,
and second in saddle sweepstakes
with Charming King.

One of the most interesting explo-
rations of modern times is that which
the University of Pennsylvania has
conducted in the Amazon basin.
Many of the wild tribes in that un-
known jungle region were visited by
white men for the first time when
the expedition reached their villages.
Nearly all of them treated the sci
entists Hospitality, many of them
erecting special huts and offering all
possible aid and information.
These Indians of the South Amer
lean interior are now for the most
part in the same condition as the
North American Indians were during
the early Spanish explorations of this
country-that is, they have not yet
been corrupted or diseased by con-
tact with civilization. Most of them
are remarkably healthy and we'll de-
veloped They live largely by hunt
ing, fishing and gathering the fruits
of the jungle. Most of them Guilt
vate nothing but cassava, which is a
staple food among them. The de-
velopment of agriculture is checked
by the fact that almost all materials
grow wild in abundance.
There is even a species of wild cot.
ton which the women gather and
spin. Houses are built of pole;
thatched with palm leaves. Many OF
the Indians sleep in hammocks wo
ven of plant fiber. Their way Of life
is surprisingly clean and sanitary
Indians of the Parikutu tribe, fol
example, battle several times a day
using bamboo scrapers in lieu o
Turkish towels.

WHEN YOUR CROP IS HARVESTED

When your crop is harvested do not
allow the ground to grow in weeds.
This only means more weeds next
year. Clean up the space, and If
there is time plant in something else.
In planting the succeeding crop it
should differ as widely from the first
as possible For instance, peas can
be planted where potatoes have been,
or beets where beans, but never fol-
low with plants of the same type,
for requiring the same nourishment,
they exhaust the ground and put
nothing back.
A winter cover crop should be
planted on the ground not occupied
with late or winter vegetables. This
is an interesting way of fertilizing
the ground. All podgrowing plants,
called legumes, enrich the soil
through the action of bacteria grow
ing on their roots.
The bacteria forms little sacks OF
nodules on the roots and, by the &C
ton of their bodies, extract the nj
trogen from the air and deposit II
around themselves as nitrates. Thus
the soy beans (soja) are constantly
putting nitrogen into the ground ano
are of additional value if plowed into
the ground after the seed is gathered

DO SPIDERS KNOW?

Employees of No. 8 mill of the
Mount Woodbury. Cotton
Duck Company were greatly excited
when two cobwebs were found, one
on each side of the CRATE. The spider
on the right had made his web in a
form which spelled out in bold letters
War ends in September" while his
neighbor on the left told in letters
just as plain, Victory for America"
The words were discovered by one
of the factory girls. An expert in
craftsmanship could not have formed
the letters more perfectly. = Ex-
