SEE WHAT THE OTHER
FELLOWS ARE DOING?

Hopkinsville, KY, Feb. 20.-At
a mass meeting of good roads en-
thusiasts from Warren, Logan, Todd.
Christian and Trigg counties, held
here yesterday afternoon. plans were
laid for a vigorous campaign to be
waged for the purpose of securing
permanently the routing of the pro-
posed Federal aid highway across
Kentucky from Ashland to Wickliffe,
so as to pass through these counties
as we'll as Marshall, Ballard, Carlisle
and Graves. The counties to the
north, viz, Ohio. Hopkins, Mullen
burg, Caldwell, Lyon, etc, have put
in strong bid for the route as first
planned by State Road Commission
er Wiley. to be switched so as to pass
through those counties after il leaves
Hodeenville. They are backed in
this fight, it is claimed, by Coleman
du Pont, and the financial aid they
arc Offering is an important feature.
At the meeting here yesterday r.
Z. Cooper was chairman and John
w. Richards was secretary. Each
of the first five counties named was
represented by a large delegation.
First of all, it was determined that
every county should send a large
delegation to Frankfort on March l.,
when the contending routes are to
present their claims. These dele
gates will go armed with all sorts OF
facts and figures to show why the
southern route is the better and
should have the road. In each coun-
ty a man was appointed to secure
this data and have it ready. Also i
committee was appointed in each
county to get men to go, another COM
mittee was named to arrange for a
special train to run through from
Hopkinsville to Frankfort to carry
the party, and still another was to
arrange for hotel accommodations.
The men named to secure the coun-
ty data are Z. G. Dent, Warren coun-
ty; s. r. Crewdson, Logan county;
Coleman f. Gill. Todd county: X. F..
Cooper, Christian county; John S.
Crenshaw, Trigg county.

THE MILITIA.

No other body of men serving q
noble cause honestly and sincerely
has come in for so much criticism Of
late than the National Guard. The
militia has been raked over the Goals
by the highest army officials yet it
goes ahead obeying the commands of
the very officers that condem il and
serving the country, many OF whose
citizens regard its members as they
would any other common laborer.
But when the field Is scanned care
fully by one up a tree 1t seems that
the militiamen, who now return to
their homes subject to the country's
cali at any hour of the day, have
borne their part of this Mexican fl
asco about as well as Gen. Woods
most seasoned trooper. Certainly
not as much is expected of the milt-
iiamen but he has surely earned his
SIS per. 1t is well to note here that
the late Gen. Funston started his
military career as a militlamen. It's
a hard thing TO fling in the faces Of
those antagonistic to the militia, but
true.
The militia system may be all to
the bad. In fact II rather seems that
Il is, but the fellows who have made
sacrifices to spend almost a year in

Marysville, Cal.-Miss Bessie AL

doorstep of the lonely country school,

For several days the lion, made
desperate by hunger, had been fol-
lowing the school children to and
from school, Miss Kane borrowed a
shotgun from Henry Keefe, team
ster, and kept it at the school house
for protection. When the lion be-
came more desperate than usual and
started to enter the school house
while school was in session. Miss
Kane went to the door and fired both
barrels into the face of the lion, kill
ing it instantly. The animal meas

whereabouts except President Will

of naval operations.
From now on until the end of the
war, whether we become involved in
hostilities with Germany or not, il is
not likely our navy will have its hid
ing place revealed.
Absolute secrecy of movement is
the first law of naval strategy. when
the Germans bombarded the east
coast of England the British people
angrily demanded to know where Ad-
miral Jellicoe's fleet was.

publication of daily bulletins giving
the movements of warships and Sec
retary Daniels has requested the cor
respondents not even to speculate
concerning the whereabouts OF the
units of the fleet.
Respecting this request, do not
intend to hazard guess as to what
has become of our first line defense.
But from eight months experience in
England trying TO get a line on tho

give a picture of the safeguards the
