M. A. TRAYLOR

Folks of Adair County and the
Pennyrile who have not watched
the remarkable career of M. A.
Traylor, President of the Chicago
Live Stock Exchange National
Bank, have missed an opportuni-
ty to give their children and the
growing generation of this good
land of sturdy birth and growth
a lesson of inspiration and a
study in ideals. Mr.. Traylor is
yet under forty, and but a few
years ago was working on a
farm in this county near the
frontier of Cumberland, for
fifty cents day, for an humble
citizen who now lives in Colum-
bia. By dint of pluck and ma
tive ability, by self sacrifice and
righteous ambition to succeed, he,
today occupies the most conspi-
cuous and the most enviable posi-
ton among the financiers of the
second greatest city in the world.
Adair County people will be glad
to hear that Mr.. Traylor has
been appointed by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Chicago as dir
ector of sales of the United
States treasury certificates OF
Indebtedness, pending the re-
ceipts from the next big Liberty
Loan.

THE ROADS.

Adair County has had a hard
struggle to get started and or:
gained a general public senti-
ment in favor of building and
developing our county system of
highways. Chas. Hoge Hocken-
smith came to the county with
his expert knowledge as a build
er of roads after his apprentice
ship in this technical field, as a
contractor in the business, under
the supervisory direction of the
State Roads Department. This
man has done more for the de-
velopment and education of pub
lie sentiment in favor of the
practical ways and means of

THE TUSCANIA.

The fate of Francis c. Cald.
well who was on the great Brit
fish ship when she went down
last week, a victim to the Ger
man submarine, is not yet
known. The list of Americans
was lost when the ship was sunk.
1t is believed and estimated that
approximately 200 American SOL
dlers were lost. But, whatever
the fate of Caldwell, his home
people, while anxious to hear of
his hoped-for safety, will be pre-
pared for the worst, if it is later
known that he was one of our
American soldiers who when the
ship was struck, went candy to
his post, bravely awaiting his
untimely but glorious fate, and
did his "Dit" Ginning in with
the other heroes of this event
while the national anthems of
the Anglc.American allies were
sung.
Later-Francis Caldwell writes
his brother, who lives in Camp
belIsville, that he is among the
survivors.

left home, in company with his broth
er-in-law, for point in Minnesota, to
undergo, an operation. Before leav-
ing he told his wife that if he did not
survive the operation, his remains
would be brought to Smiths Grove
and that he wanted, after religious
services, Masonic and Odd Fellows
burial, and that he wanted Mr.. W. S.
Knight and Mr.. Attis Mcfarland, of
jamestown, to preside over the cere-
monies, the former the Masonic, the
latter the Odd Fellows. When the
news of his death reached his wife,
she notified the two brothers Of her
husbands request, and they started at
once, a distance of over one hundred
miles, for Smiths Grove, and there in
the presence of a large concourse of
friends, fulfilled the request made by
the deceased brother. The burial was
Sunday, the Sd inst, and Messrs.
Knight and Mcfarland reached here
Monday night, on their return to
jamestown.

survivors

The sinking of the Tuscania
with the loss of more than one
hundred American soldiers is
already being used as good
propaganda by the Pacifist and
Pro-german. If two thousand
instead of two hundred had died,
the true American and the real
patriot would be the greater
and more nobly inspired to get
ready for the colossal sacrifices
that are yet to be made for the
freedom of mankind for the
democracy of the world. Our
only regret for these boys is that
they were not permitted by fate
to die on the goal line that they
were as men and patriots press
ing forward to. Let US at home,
dedicate as their monument, the
American Flag, and write
Freedom" for their epltaph.
Their posthumous wishes if they
could be interpreted, would in
spire more sons of America to go
with gladness and pride to this
burial spot on the fields of our
country's glory and our country's
honor.
