place to meet the engineers at Steph-

Mr.. Hannah stated that the only
information he was able to gain from
the engineers concerning the road was
that all of the bridges along the
Stephensport road would have to be
rebuilt.
Engineers Sneed and Boone having
nothing to do with designating the
route further than making an Official

H. Blythe, local representative of the
Louisville Silo and Tank Company
arrived in Cloverport, last week.
Farmers and beginning to break
away from the thraldom of king

ton to the keeping of live stock.
The following named farmers
bought silos: R. NJ Rowland, H. L.
Waggoner, V. K. Hardin, ]. w. Har-
rington, ] S. G. Smart, E. F. Carter,
and ]. H. Blythe. They also pur-
chased one No. 16 Rowell Cutter for
filling their silos. Their investment
is about $4,000 and is possibly one of
the safest "a farmer can make, as the
slo properly filled furnishes a winter
feed for stock equal to and exceeding
the nutrient value of June grass.

AUsPICIoUs OPENING
OF The Lafayette Skydome On Sat-
urday Eve. Clear Skies Bring
A Good Crowd.

The continuous rainy weather last
week delayed the formal opening of
the Lafayette Skydome until Satur-
day evening, and then the clear skies
proved on incentive to large num-
Der of Cloverporters to attend the
suspicious beginning of the open air
theatre.
The only disadvantage in having
the skydome is the daylight savings.
1t was nearly nine o'clock before
darkness was complete and the movies
could start
Mr.. Holder, the manager, made the
opening speech assuring his patrons
of giving them good shows during
the summer, and of his keen interest
in the towns general welfare. He
was followed by Rev. Couch, who
made few appropriate remarks and
then several pretty music selections
were given by the Misses May, Mrs.
L. T. Reid, Miss Susanna Crutchfeld
and the movie orchestra.

HEATED DISCUSSIONS ARISE FROM
THE THREE ROADS MEETING HELD
IN GREENSBORO LAST WEEK

From the time Judge J. H. New
man, of Hawesville, chairman of the
Ohio river route, as temporary
chairman, called the meeting to or
der Wednesday afternoon, June IL,
and nominations for a permanent
chairman were in order, the meeting
which started out to be joint meet
ing of advocates of the three propos-
ed federal aid routes, until vote was
finally won to adjourn, the conven-
ton was a tempestuous one, filled
with heated discussions.
Judge c. w. Wells, of this county,
was named for election as chairman,
and the motion seconded by several.
The chairman of the Ohio river route
then offered nomination, but at the
instance of the temporary chairman,
withdrew his nomination, and Judge
Wells was unanimously elected. J.
Leo Fentress, of Central City, was
elected secretary.
In making his opening address,
Judge Wells foresaw the situation.
He said that he felt as if he was
standing on the brink of volcano.
He then said as warning that any
long speeches, no matter how elo-
quent, would accomplish nothing, as
nothing but the money to build the
roads and the report of the govern
ment officials would select the route
He said no government agent has
been over the routes.
Mr.. w. ]. Piggott, of Breckenridge
county, then moved that the Ohio
river route meeting be adjourned,
subject to the call of the chairman.
An amendment to have the meeting
after June 10 was offered and accept
ed. A heated battle as to where the
meeting would be held finally termin-
ated in Owensboro being selected as
the next meeting place
Judge F. A. Lochry, of Mclean
county, then offered resolution that
was the storm center for the remand
er of the meeting. 1t seemed for a
time as if nobody was satisfied, but
eventually the fight narrowed to the
designation of the route in Mullen
berg and Hopkins counties. Several
minor amendments we're made, and
at 80 o'clock, after more than two
hours of discussion the following re-
solution was adopted:

FIVE Export MEN
LEAVE FOR OKLA.
To Work in Harvesting Crops
During Summer Months.
Make Trip by Land.

Five men from this place left Tues
day morning for Oklahoma, where
they will work in different sections
of the State, harvesting the summer
crops. Those who went were Messrs.
Hilary Hardin, Cletus Wilson, Gabe
and Carl Beavin and Andrew Nc
Cracker.
The men motored through in Mr..
Hardin's car and expect to make the
trip in about FIVE days. Mr.. Hardin
will locate in Walters, Okla. where
he has already accepted place on
the Rogers Farm running threshing
machine.
A letter came here to Mr.. Hardin
from a former Cloverport man, Mr..
John McGavock, of Walters, who
wrote of the urgent need of laborers
in that part of Oklahoma; which in
duced these men to go.

O'BORO PLEASED
WITH RESULTS
ROAD MEETING

Owensboro was definitely placed
on the proposed Central highway
route as a result OF the meeting We'd
nesday, Judge Wells said yesterday,
and Daviess county will have, in ad-
dition to the Ohio river route, over
which there has been no doubt, two
important roads; one from Ovens
boro to Dawson Springs, and the
other joining with the Dixie Highway
at Elizabethtown, Hardin county.
This action is gratifying to u.s."
Judge Wells said because the route
goes out of direct line to come
through Owensboro. The result will
be two important roads; one from
Dawson Springs, through Greenville,
South Carrolton, Sacramento and
Calhoun and the other from Eliza
BEETHOVEN through Leitch6eld, Falls
of Rough, Fordsville and Whitesville.
These are both important to Ovens
boro, because they connect the city
with territory which otherwise would
not be reached by roads for a long
time, if ever.
This route is more important to
Owensboro than the so-called River
route, if the latter should go through
Hawesville and Henderson, for
Owensboro will certainly have good
inter-county seat roads to both Hen
derson and Hawesville, whether any
federal highway is established or not.
Moreover, when the river route is
established, it will certainly go
through Owensboro. There has new
err been any doubt about that. To

10 take advantage of this rate, but
to do so you must pay the full fare
one way, and present the receipt for
same when you purchase your re-
turn ticket.
The County Superintendent has
written each teacher in Breckenridge

this meeting and advising teachers to
take advantage of the reduced rate.
