competent in every way. So far as
roads is concerned, those who desire
and need them had as well ''loosen up"
and proceed to construct pixies Oh main
highways. 1t takes state aid. county
aid and private subscriptions combined.
However, no considerable part of our
road mileage can ever hope to be piked
without unreasonable taxation, poor
as our land is. A pike from Glover
port to Louisville would be worth
much to US, as beginner. Our county
is unjustly advertised for bad roads on
account of Western Kentucky travel
to and from Louisville. So long rs
war conditions demand farm products
as now, seems to me the stimulation of
agriculture and stock raising is the
thing for the people, rather than em-
ploying the money and labor in pixies.
However, / would be willing to add two
dollars per acre again cost of our farms
to get the pike ON the other side With
the continued boosting Of press and
assistance Of our progressive citizens

more at the same cost under County
Agent and advanced methods in a very
few years. / know my farm is in bet

kAISER'S BIRTH CAUSED Joy
Queen Victoria, Upon Receipt Of TeIe-
gram Announcing TIdings, Could
Not Maintain Usual Dignity.

Anecdotes about the royal family
are usually rather fiat, but here is a
good story Of Queen Victoria, relates
correspondent, the ironic and ter
rlble commentary ON which she mer-
cifully did not live to see:
'The queen, whom we had so late
ly parted from In calm dignity, was
flying with the eagerness of young
girl, and so rapid was her movement,
and so joyous her expression, it was
plain that her suite had much diff
Guilty in keeping pace with her speed.
Catching sight OF friend in the dis
lance, as she came up the long room,
she suddenly waved aloft a telegram
form that she was holding In her hand,
and called out 10 triumphant tones,
unheeding the shocked expression of
her attendants at such unconvention-
atty: Lady Loeinl Lady Logini I
am a grandmother
Such was the welcome given to the
English queens first grandchild-

CLOvERPORT GOES
over THE TOP
In Third Liberty Loan. S29,500
Subscribed by II Persons.
[. n. & ST. [. Gets $3.50
112 Subscribers.

Cloverport has sgone "Over the Top
and then some in its, quota for the Third
Liberty Loan Unless the city gets
credit for the number of subscribers who
took out bonds through the l.. II. &
St. l. r. X Company, there is some
doubt as to whether it will receive an
Honor Flag as it takes ~ per cent Of
the population and almost the required
per centage have taken bonds through
the Railroad Company.
The city's quota is s73,e5o and mp to
date Wednesday April "a, s29,s 500 had
been subscribed by u persons through
the Breckenridge Bank-of Cloverport
$40, SEQ of this amount was secured by
the woman's work of the Liberty Loan
volunteers.
So,95o shas been subscribed through
the L. II. 81 St. l.. R. R. by ia of its
employees. Thusl the city's entire
amount is s3o,450 subscribed by 100
persons whichsis more than ~ per cent
of the population. AS such large per
cent of the people are employees of the
railroad it is thought perhaps the city
will be given credit so as to secure tie
Honor Flag. The question will be
decided at Washington.

of his cars and had lunch at his house.
Hatley slept with me that night and
both of these boys remember our PEG

Boys Pig Club to be
Organized Here.

County Agent Harth will be at the
schools in Cloverport Thursday after.
noon to complete the organization OF a
Boys Pig Club. All boys between the
ages of 10 and IS whether attendants
at school or not are asked to attend
one of the meetings and hear the plan
of the club work. The main features
of the work are as follows: the boys
will take either a pure bred gilt or
shoat and will feed them according to
the directions put out by the Dept. of
Agriculture. Records will be kept and
lessons given out for study. A show is
planned for this fall at which prizes
will be given to the boys making the
highest grades to be determined by
their practical work, record keeping
and work on lessons "A certificate
signed by the Pres. u State University,
Dean of the College of Agriculture and
Director Of the Extension Division will
also be given the boys completing their
work properly
A local bank has manifested inter-
est in the club work and will very
probably finance the pure bred part of
the club. There is no expense in be-
coming members of the club All that
is expected OF the boys is for them to
follow instruc tions and to complete
their work.
The people of Cloverport should get
behind this movement and do all they
can to make this one of the best boys
clubs in the state. All boys and parents
interested in the organization of the
club should be at one of the schools on
Thursday afternoon.
