Oh the purposes OF the original
aims of the organization and are
yet proud TO be known as the
Boone Way Boosters of the lit
tie old town of Mt. Vernon, in
the foot hills of the umber-
lands.
"Garabed," a new syst EN- of
energy, invented by T. K. Glra.
gossian, an American, of Boston,
after 26 years of experimental
tion, promises great and wonder
full things. 1t is known as a
free energy generator, aud has
been critically examined by pat
ent Office experts who are so i'm
preSst with its workings that on
their recommendation a bill was
passed by Congress last week,
appropriating money to pay the
expenses of having the inventor
demonstrate the possibilities of
his invention before a committee
of five of the leading scientists Of
the country, who will make a
report upon the results to the

the powers of this machine are
sufficient to drive a ship across
the ocean and to carry an air
plane around the world without
landing. The country is anxious

demonstration.
j. H. Bartlett, formerly OF
MiddlesbOIO, later of Louisville,
now residing i'll Anchorage, is
the man who gave Sloo to each
Of the counties of ROckcastle,
Laurel, Knox and Bell, to pro
mote the campaign in working
toward putting Boone Way Oh
the map and getting it construct
ed thru the Cumberlands. He
was among the first to contri-
cute to the cause and was the
largest contributor, by far, in the
undertaking. He was also the
first to order a map of Kentucky
showing this great highway
from Cumberland Gap to Louis,
Vile and from mt. Vernon to
Maysville, that division which
continues on to Kenton. Ohio.
Che Boone Way Boosters, the
Boone way Association and the
people generally along this high
way have a mighty warm feel
ing In their hearts for Mr.. Bart
lett, the man who had faith in
the dream" of the little band
Of Mt. Vernon workers whose
vision gave them courage to
fight the battle through for bet
ter things for their people who
were virtually shut out from the
busy world for the lack of con-
Meeting highways. If we had a
few more like Mr.. Bartlett, in
this old world of ours, it would
brighten up things along the
pathway" of life.
Was in Mt. Vernon, Satur-
day afternoon till Sunday noon
on a hurried trip. Had tele-
phoned a friend TO meet us at
Round Stone station. The friend
failed to come. Had a nice 6
mile walk over Dixie Boone to-
ward Mt. Vernon. Was pickt
up by clever Charlie Rice, of Liv.
lngston, who was taking a spin
over that highway, IN his auto;
it was the first time l had met
him since we were on fishing
"trip at Port AranSas, Taxes.
The road is good from Mt.
Vernon to a point just beyond
Renfro Greek. From that point
it has been macadamized about
three miles but is not in a fin
ished condition but will be over
hauled and put in first class
shape, by the contractor, before
it is turned over and accepted
by the proper authorities.
was pleased to see the grad
ing on the Livingston division
of the highway was progressing
nicely. Was assured by coun-
ty road engineer Mattingly that
it would be completed into Mt.
Vernon sometime in November.
On account Of some PROBABLE
difficulties arising in connection
with the routing of the highway
at Livingston in getting over
and around or under railroad
tracks and ward to reach the pro-
