us know think how much good
all of us could do. Some men
have ideas that are helpful to
others and this is a chance to get
together with members of the
State Department. County offici-
ais, Contractors and relate actual
experiences concerning road work
All efforts are being made to
make the meeting the biggest,
best and most important road
meeting over held in Kentucky.
The people of a county should
insist that their Fiscal Court at
tend the meeting especially mas
much as it is recommended by
both the State Department and
the Attorney General and when
it is a known fact that by so do
ing they will become more pro-
ficient in the handling of road
matters in their county. The ex-
penses incurred by such a trip
are most trivial compared to the
great benefits received, and not
only should Fiscal Courts attend
but citizens interested in road
building should be there as well.
Another feature of the meet.
ing will be the selection of a place
to hold the meeting next year.
A town of three thousand and
over will be allowed to present
their claim for the meeting, how
ever, letters, kilograms, etc.,
will not be considered as a proper
invitation but a delegation must
be present from the town and pre-
sent their claim in person.:

a Fiscal Court has a legal right
to appropriate money to pay the
entire expenses of the court in
attending the meeting.
The program has been arrang-
ed so that only practical problems
will be discussed. One-half day
being given over entirely to the
County Judges of the State, and
owing to the fact that the meet
ing is being held at a time of the
year when no road work is being
done, there is no reason why at
least two or three thousand peo-
pie shonld not be in attendance.
1t is a known fact that Con-
ventions of this kind are neces-
sary in order that work may be
done efficiently. Bankers, Rail-
road men. Newspaper men, Trav-
cling men all have such meetings
where they discuss their particu-
lar line of business and it is alb
solutely necessary for the good
of both counties and state that
the meeting be well attended by
the various Fiscal Courts.

KNOX COUNTY
ROADS LET
Last Saturday the Fiscal
Court Let all that will
be Built.

Last Saturday the Fiscal Court
met and let the remainder of the
roads which will be built out of
the 5000, 600 which was voted two
years ago. This has been a long
and troublesome job, and has
caused much to be done and said
that otherwise would not have
been done or said had they gone
on at the start and done as they
did last Saturday.
The road that starts off to the
left at Bailey's Switch and runs
up Middle Fork, by Grays, to
Corbin, has been awarded to
Turner and Mason. 1t will be
well under way as soon as the
weather will permit. The road
from the cemetery to Artemus
was awarded to 7. j. Vermillion
& Son. -Four miles up Sinking
Creek was awarded to S. T. Jack
son, and the road from the cor
porate limits of the city to the
mouth of Helton's Fork of Indian
Creek was also awarded to T. J.
Vermillion & Son.
The road leading from Corbin
by Grays, Bailey's Switch, Bar
bourville, Fighting Creek, Flat
Lick to the Bell County line will
be finished with stone and will
be the designated route of the
Dixie Highway. The other roads
will be crowned dirt roads.
There is a sufficient amount of
the bond issue in the banks here
to make all these roads and there
is no doubt but what they will be
made. The road connecting Knox
with Bell and Laurel will be so
near the Whitley County line that
in the one road from Barbourville
to Corbin, Knox, Whitley and
Laurel will be coupled on one
end and Knox and Bell on the
other end.
So it is that we will touch all
the adjoining counties except
Clay on the North, and we will
be connected with them by rail,
so it will be a pretty we'll arrang-
ed affair after all. Yet it might
have been improved upon.
We have it that the Court and
State Road Commissioner have
to all the roads set out
above, and that the work will be-
gin as soon as the weather per-
mits. So ends a long drawn out |
affair which has caused much |
speculation.

INAUGURATION
FESTIVITIES
To be Held at Union Col.
lege February Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth

Before presenting the an.
nouncement of the Inauguration
festivities at Union College Feb.
4th, 5th and 9th, we would like
to speak further about the revi.
val January 22nd to February 3rd.
DR.. Eason, the Evangelist, is
one of the greatest preachers in
Kentucky. He ranks among the
best in Louisville or any other city
where he has served. He is a
man of much experience, a man
of wisdom and eloquence, tender
ness and ruggedness, laughter
and tears and lives a life of
prayer and devotion every day in
the year. Solid, sensible, free
from foolishness but very pleas
ing. You will go away saying
God is with him."
In DR.. Eason's last pastorate,
at Columbus, o., he had
more than 400 converts in one
year. He has worked in three of
Billy Sundays revivals and has
had many other great opportuni-
ties and successes.
The best music that we can
render will be had at every ser
vice. A fine chorus and orches-
ira, specials, & etc. The entire
town and community is invited
to attend. We are expecting
you. The services will be held
in the College Auditorium morn
ings and evenings.
Owing to the fact that last
May three members of the Board
of Education and most of the
great men of the Methodist
Church were at General Confer
ence the inauguration of Presi-
dent Franklin was postponed
until February of this year.
1t is the purpose of the Board
of Education controlling Union
College to bring to Barbourville
some of the best talent in the
country. The Inauguration prop
err will take place Tuesday A. M.
February 9th but a two days
program of the best addresses we
can secure will begin Sunday
February 4th. Bishop

People throughout the community
are not bursting over with patriotism
or are they backing up the govern
ment as they should in this great war.
1t is a sad plight to be in, though
nevertheless it is so, and some day
they may be sorry for it, especially
those of the pro-German tendencies.
The war is going to be felt through
out the country more and more as it
progresses and any obstacle placed in
the way of the government is going to
delay the day when we yin the war,
and the longer it continues the greater
it will be felt. All are not against
the government in the war but there
are enough so that for business rea-
sons others are not men enough and
dare not stand upon their feet and
proclaim their patriotism as they
should Should the kaiser win, God
forbid, the men and women of Amer
lea will be in a sadder plight than eve,
before and their almighty dollar then
will be'worth about what the Confed-
crate money was following the Civil
war. Why hesitate in helping the
country that is granting you freedom
and protection?

Though possibly the majority in this
community have pro-German feelings,
they, however, are led astray by their
numerous superiors in intelligence and
education. The poor and ignorant
who have no schooling, do not know
any better, nor do tn " realize the bet
ter condition they are in than when
they were upon the foreign shores.
The leaders are those who suffer the
penalty of treason in their efforts to
stir up sedition among the ignorant.
There are, we should say, a number
throughout this country who should be
held to account for their activities.
Some are preachers, other are learned
men of political activity. If the gov
eminent makes an example of these
higher up, the rest will come to their
senses and be as loyal Americans as
any of us. They now would be did
they understand, but with an everlast-
ing condemnation of the country al
ways being harped into their ears
what can be expected?

"Take 'em along with you," is the
advice of none other than Provost
Marshal General Crowder, received in
official orders to the draft board.
The national draft chief has been
there himself He knows what it
means to drill five hours in unfamiliar
shoes, even though they may be the
best the regulations provide. So he
now directs that draft bodies advise
men about to leave for mobilization
camps to take pair Of comfortable
shoes.
Many of the men who left in the
first deliveries to Camp Dodge did
not have the benefit of this advice.
1t is rumored they neglected to in
clude in their baggage the good, old,
down-at-the-heel, spread-toed, corn
discouraging shoes which they were
won't to wear around home or on
rainy days in the Office. They tried
out the sands of Camp Dodge and then
hurried first aid calls to mother, sis
ter or wife-"Send them s.loes!"

Not all, but a great many Of those
having pro-German tendencies are not
from Germany, nor were their fore
fathers. All recent arrivals in this
part of the country are intensely anti
kaiserites. They are fairly well
know the military system Of Ger
many and the cruelty and oppre sion
practiced there against the common
people. Why man who has never
seen Germany nor his kin for genera
tions back, should be with the kaiser
after being lifted from pauper to a
position of luxury in comparison in
this country, shows only great lack
of common intelligence.

Pipestone, Mimi, Oct. 6.-Bishop
Charles B. Mitchell, speaking at the
annual conference of the Minnesota
Methodist Episcopal church, held here,
lays claim to being pacliist but says
that he has put all his pacitism aside
until Uncle Sam gets the kaiser. +"
The bishop says that the war the
United States is now waging is the
hottest war a nation ever entered !;
that the war is struggle between
liberty and democracy against auto
cracy and mi!itarism. He unsparingly
denounced the "neo-copperheads" and
refers to them as "seditious scound-
rels" and says that "some even are
found in the United States Senate "

There, man who wants to take trip

A German minister not a Thousand
miles from Center is reported to have
recently said to his congregation
something like this: as this govern

there" This may or may not be the
exact expression, and we hope it is
not, but if it is we want to inform
that half-hearted American that in the
last great war this country fought
to successful conclusion it was not
unusual for men to fight heir broth
ers, cousins or even fathers, but the
outcome was country good enough
for German ministers and many others
to come to, make homes, educate chill

ity that if it is not good enough for
him now free transportation can be
secured back to those brothers and

the outrage of Belgium, the bombing
of Red Cross hospitals, and the murder
of the defenseless high seas. The
American flag has never stood for
anything but justice, and while none
of US expect people of German birth
to forget home ties, sweet memories

WHY FOOD CONTROL Is NEcRs
SARY.

Any attempt at Food Control in thi.
great prosperous land of plenty is an
innovation. Nationally We have never
experienced crisis in our food supply.
Because it has not been gwen any
thought since the early colonial DAYS
more than two centuries ago, the ne
cessity for food control is not now ap-
preciated by our people. 1t is so diff
ficult for US to realize that national
scarcity of food might possibly exist.
For this reason it is proper to consider
the causes that have made it neces-
sary for our nation to take control of
our wheat supply.
The world at war. It is the great
est war of all time. The ia k of fe d.
rng the armies is Horculeon. It is a
big problem, not only because of the
monstrous armies to be fed, but also
because of the great distance the
food must be transported and the diff
ficulties that surround its transporta-
ton. Although this task would be a
big one for the entire world, condi-
tions are such just now that almost
the entire burden is placed on Amer
ica-on Canada and the United States.
We acquire personal interest in feed
ing these armies when we place our
own soldiers at the side of these al
ready on the battle front
Nearly one-third of the food ncces-
sary for the armies consists of whrr..
Our exports of wheat during the past
three years have been the heavies, in
our history and our supply is now the
lowest in ten years, so our government
can not afford to take chan. on the
supply of wheat for our army. The
supply dare not be left in priva .. CO..
troll whore it can be boarded in great
elevators, nor in the control of specu-
lators who can, if they so desire, de-
moralize our army more effectually by
with holding wheat supplies than in
any other way.
Our domestic demand for wheat will
of necessity be acute. Were specula-
tors permitted to manipulate our sup
ply in such way that they could ex-
tort from our public unnecessary and
unconscionable margins, such serious
uprisings would result in our large
consuming centers as would materially
interfere with our peace at home and
our successful conduct of the war.
These uprisings would be serious be-
caue they would result not alone from
the high prices but from the unjust
extortion connected with those high
prices.
AS war measure-as war neces-
s;W-our government must control the
distribution and the price of our wheat
in order that our country may be sure
of its supply for their army at the
front at all times, and in order that
disaster may be prevented at home
which would surely result from ruin
Gus speculation and heartless extor-
ton.

WAYS OF SUMMER BOAROERS
They Are Usually Very Witty Persons
Who Make Comical Remarks to
the Farmer.

Summer bOarders are people who
spend several weeks in the country
each summer longing for trip home.
They are usually very witty persons
and make cOmical remarks to the farm
er. Aside from the board they pay
him the farmer cleans up Il tidy sum
each summer sending the things his
bOarders say to the comic weeklies. A
summer bOarder can merely look at Il
COW and quick as wink he will say
something funny. The farmer puts
this down in book he always carries
around with him. In the course of a
couple of weeks he has several pages
of good jokes to sell ut his own rates,
says the Philadelphia Star.
If you board with a farmer this sum-
mer say some funny things to him
about the cows or the pigs. IL he
keeps horse always poke fun at his
horse. He will laugh at the funny
things you say. Then he will 90 in and
open up a can of fresh country peas
out of his own cellar so that when you
go back to the city you will miss the
country vegetables. When you leave
be sure and tell him how you enjoyed
the country eating so that he can laugh
some more.
