RECOMMENDS
PUSCHASE OF
SEWER PLANT
The H. B. M. A. Holds Important
Meeting After Investigating
Sewer Matter

At a call meeting of the Board of
Directors held Thursday afternoon,
May 20, 1919, to receive the report
of the special committee appointed
by the President of the Hopkinsville
Business Mems Association, March
81, to confer with the City Commits
sioners relative to their attitude to-
ward the purchase of the plant of
the Hopkinsville Sewerage company,
also to confer with the directors of
the Hopkinsville Sewerage Co., and to
obtain from them the price for which
they would sell their plant.
The committee reported that they
had appeared before the City Com
missioners to ascertain if they would
consider the purchase of the Sewer
age Company's plant, provided
price could be obtained on same that
would be considered fair and reason
able and one that the Hopkinsville
Business Mems Association would
recommend to them as being just
and reasonable.
/ Said Commissioners were unani-
mously fl favor of the purchase of
said sewerage plant, provided it could
be done legally and to the best in
terests of the taxpayers of the city.
4 The committee then appeared be-
fore the officers of the sewerage
company and advised them that the
said commissioners were in favor of
the purchase of said plant from the
sewerage company and requested the
sewerage company to submit in writ
ing, a proposition as to the very best
price that said company would en-
terrain for their holdings.
After a careful consideration of
the price named by the Hopkinsville
Sewerage Company, the directors of
the H. B. M. A. unanimously adopted
resolution requesting the Mayor
and City Commissioners to purchase
the plant of the Hopkinsville Sewer
age Company for the consideration
Of the price named in their agree
ment provided that the City of Hop
hnsvilIe extend the sewerage to all
points practical within the city lin
its of Hopkinsville.

How do you talk into the tele-

Do you bow and smile and make
faces at it when you say "Good
morning" to a friend? Or have you
become a real telephone user? And
10 you talk all sorts of friendly things
into the telephone, with no change
of expression on your face?
That should interest you, for it has

Are your ears laid back fiat on
your head, or do they stand out?
1t is considered more beautiful to
have them fiat against the head. But
they are better ears for use when
hey stand out. An ear standing out
catches the sound as it comes FROM
IN FRONT. 1t does not catch the
sound so we'll coming from behind,
as the projecting ears shuts it off.
But as we are no longer in much
LANCER of trouble from behind, prob
ably the projecting ear, barring the
agliness, is the kind most desirable.

Does your face change as you get
older
1T OUGHT TO.
A successful man, as he gets older,
Usually sees his nose get bigger.
And he ought to notice his lower
Jaw come out. Determination and
he exercise of will power bring out
the jaw. Many a man in old gaze, who
has lived, worked, thought and willed
determinedly, has his lower jaw an
inch far Their out than it was when he
started as a young man.
Women ought to notice consider
able change in their foreheads as
years pass. If they use their brains,
they will find that their foreheads
get higher and straighter. And they
will find other changes in the shape
of the skull.
A man who thinks very hard dies
with a skull very much thinner than
it would have been if he had thought
less, And that is interesting.

The proper study of mankind is
NOT man.
Pope was mistaken about that
The proper study of mankind is the
outside universe-the machine in
which man is a mere microbe.
1t would be foolish for microbe
to write, "The proper study of mic
robe-kind is the microbe." 1t is just
as foolish to say that the proper study
of mankind is man.
Once in a while, however, it is
permissible for man to study man,
for a change, and amuse himself by
noticing the peculiarities Of the lit
tie human germ that are put here to
cultivate this planet, take care Of it,
drain its swamps, irrigate its deserts
and incidentally develop respecta-
BILE human race.
Therefore, when you tire of refut-
ing the nebular hypothesis, when you
give up the effort to reconcile suf-
fering world and an omnipotent crea-
tor, or the effort to digest the hor-
rible problems of infinite space and
amending time, you will find relief in
studying the LITTLE things.
When an ordinary barefooted Ash
attic testifes is testifying as a witness
the Judge watches his feet to see if
he tells the truth. Is not that inter-

The poor Asiatic native has learn
ed to control his features and to lie
with a solemn facial gravity that
would deceive his own mother.
But he has not learned to control
his feet. And when he begins to tell
lies he begins to twiddle his toes.
Study that psychologically.

When you shut your fist naturally,
do you put the thumb outside of the
fingers or inside of the fingers?
"They say" that the individual that
shuts his hand with the thumb inside
will be ruled by others. He who
shuts his hand with the thumb out
side will rule.
But "they say" may be mistaken
1t does seem probably, however, that
hose physically stronger, and inner
entity capable of delivering strong
blow, would shut the hand with the
thumb out. Whether it is desirable
or not to be of a nature that can de-
liver blows, you must decide.
