There has been much talk and
much speculation as to who the
Republicans might run for Gov
erner next year. They seem to
think that they can win. 1t may
be a delusion, we do not know,
but it looks like they have a bet
ter chance than they had when
Stanley became" Governor.
We hope for some optimistic
change. But if we've got to
swallow it please give us a Re-
publican, who is, as Woodrow
Wilson is, a democrat::-We mean
an American citizen, who is
broader, and bigger, and more
patriotic than the exhaust pipe
of a "gas well" in Somerset.
George Weissinger Smith, May
or of Louisville is today the big
gest man in the Republican
party, and as democrats are sue
cessfully trusting him now, they
could be relied upon to continue
this trust, as long as he contin-
ues his present record as Mayor
of Louisville.

THE TURNPIKE and TOLL GATES.

At a meeting on last Saturday
of our Fiscal Court, matters per-
tinent to the past, and proposed
in-the-future, management of
Adair County's part of the turn
pike between Columbia and
CampbellsviIle was the issue of
chief concern. But, as it is
represented to US by the people
of Adair County, and Russell
County, and Cumberland County,
and all parts of other counties,
whose farmers and people pass
thru Columbia nth tobacco, live
stock, and other commodities, in
their effort to get to a market,
the question uppermost in their
minds is, not what compensation
shall be allowed Judge Hereford
for his past splendid manage
ment of the pike and its jewish
toll gates, nor what the present
court is going to do about the
continued and grating illega-
lily of this great highway of
prosperity, but how soon we are
going to get constructed and
maintained from this city and it's

All Embracing.

Whenever there is need and suffer

order Of its going but goes at once.
There is no red tape to retard its ef-
forts. Here in Kentucky in the
month Of November, 2,s66 families
received assistance from the Red
Cross Civilian Relief Department and
si,553.45 were spent to relieve suf-
fering in the families Of men in Ken
lucky environments or overseas, who
were unable TO help them on account

with the work among the influenza
sufferers in the mountains great
many more families will be aided and
much more money expended. Every
body will want to help an organiza-
tion which is doing 50 much here and
elsewhere for humanity and no urg-
ing should be necessary to get them
to take memberships, which only cost
a dollar. The drive is now on and
will end on the 23d. DO not let a

How to Cure Chapped
Skin in Winter

In warm weather no one suffers
from chapped hands or face as the
heat has a tendency to draw a nat
ural oily moisture to the surface of
the skin which keeps it soft and
smooth. In winter the natural oils
of the body are prevented by the
cold from reaching the skin and as
a result chaps. roughness and even
chilblains may result. AS the chap
ped, bleeding and rough skin is hu-
initiating and often very painful the
following valuable information will
undoubtedly be welcomed by many.
After washing always take great
care to Immediately dry the hands
and face. From your druggist get
small jar of Amounted cocoa
cream and rub this well into the skin
at night before retiring. Every trace
of soreness will unusually vanish
after a single application and the
skin will become soft, velvety-
smooth and white. Am-o-nized Cocoa
Cream costs little. is easy to apply
and has enormous sale at this time
of the year as it seems to contain
just the nourishment required to
keep the skin in perfect condition
during the winter months. If you
know anyone who is troubled with
chapped skin you will be doing them
a great favor by calling this to
their attention. There is nothing bet
ter.
