ing figures about another important
outcome of tho world war. which is the
creation OF the thrift habit among the
majority OF the American people, It
Is real thrift, for. although the war has
increased the rewards OF labor the
cost OF living has been Increased in

habit is seen In the growth OF savings

ViCtrOla And Records Free to Some

The ]. l.. Roark Estate, county
distributors OF VIctrolas and records,
has offered ViCtrola and twenty Sc
ections In records to the rural
school showing the highest percent
age in attendance this school year.
There are quite number of schools
IN the county using the. NiCtrola,
and more teachers are planning to
10 so. If any district buys a ma
chine, and later if develops wins the
prize, the amount paid will be le-
'unded, up 10 the amount offered,
but schools which have heretofore
secured a machine will not be per
mltted to compete. Getting the pu-
oil to attend school is one of the
greatest needs Of the day, and it is
thought this prize will make the
teachers even more active than they
nave been along this line. No town
" village school are allowed TO COM
pete, the offer being confined to ru-
raj schools; and as the. award is TO
be made on percentage basis, the
smallest district in the county has an
:qual chance with the larger. The
announcement was made to ihc
reachers at institute recently, and
vas received With enthusiasm.

Coed Roads Meeting

7 he annual meeting OF the Ken
tn ky Highway Engineers Associ-
alton, formerly the County Road
Engineers Association of Kentucky
will be held at 1ensboro, Ken
lucky, on November I2th, 18th and
18th, 1918.
Previous meetings have always been
held IN February but the officers of
the association decided to change
the date of meeting for two reas-
ons:
First, on account of bad weather
conditions it has always been almost
impossible TO inspect the roads.
We feel that opportunity should be
given all the members to see roads
during the good weather so that we
all may learn more of what consti-
tutes good road. Past meetings
have not been Of the greatest benefit
because inspection trips could not
be arranged.
Second, a radical change has been
made In the program. Instead of
the usual speeches indoors it Is plan
ned to have all speaking done out
doors. The speech on uGravel
Roads" will be delivered right on a
gravel road. The speech on Maca-
dam Roads" will be delivered right
on that kind of road and a history
of that particular road will be given.
All members will be driven in auto
mobiles to the various roads. The
members will be told how to build
concrete bridges and small bridge
will be built while the speaker ex-
plains how the concrete should be
mixed and how the steel should be
placed. The various methods Of
repairing roads will be explaine d
while the Davies County teams and
machines actually do the work.
Davies County has all kinds Of
roads from gravel to macadam rock
asphalt and BRICK within easy reach
Of Owensboro..
The county owns and operates the
most complete road building outfit
m the State. Sixty head of mules,
several no lers, many graders, etc.
An exhibition of all this outfit at
work will be given.
1t is planned to make the meeting
he most practical and beneficial
gathering ever held by the road
builders of Kentucky. 1t is difficult
1t any time to build good roads and
IN ". times the best methods must
De used or nothing Of value can be
accomplished when TABOR and ma
cerlais are SO 1lglcult to secure.
