FISCAL COURT FOR
NATIONAL HIGHWAY
Vote SIS, 900 For Proposed
Road In North Part
Of County.

The Fiscal Court, in special session
mere Wednesday. made an important
order relative to the building of state
aid and federal-aid roads in the conn
ty.
Just now a movement is in pro-
gress to build metal road from
Louisville to Greensboro. The buiId-
ing of the road with state and fed
eral aid is a certainty, and the only
important matter now to determine
is the route to be selected.
| Hawesville and Brandenburg.
county seats respectfully of Hancock
and Meade counties, are making
strong efforts to pull the route close
along the Ohio river. But the gov
eminent having recently built the
road to the military camp, at Stith-
ton. it Is matter now of selecting
the nearest and most practical route
from that point to Owensboro Breck-
inridge county is making an effort
to bring it by Hardinsburg. The
shortest line between Stithton and
greensboro, as the map will show, is
by way of Hardinsburg and Fords-
vile. Fordsville citizens are alive
and awake to the opportunity of get
ting the road, and are working night
and day toward that end. They have
already interested the officials of
other counties in bringing the road
through OhiOscounty, and now our
own officials are getting interested.
The Fiscal Court, at its special ses-
sion Wednesday, entered an order ap-
propriating $25, 900, to be paid in
five annual installments of $1,000
each, TO be used on any state-aid or
federal-aid road undertaken in the
county. However, the order provides
this money shall not be available I'M
til such road is surveyed, work ac-
tually begun, and then only when ac-
tuaily needed to pay for construction
work. Many citizens of the Fords-
vile route are proposing to give sub
stantial sums for the establishment
Of the highway through that section
Of the county.
A largely attended meeting, at
which the county officials of Daviess
county and many people from Breck-
lnidge county, were present, was
held at Fordsville Tuesday. Last
night big meeting of the officials
md others interested along the vari-
rus proposed routes was held at the
,eelbach Hotel, in Louisville. The
prospect looks good to bring this i'm
'ortant highway through Ohio coun-
y, and every citizen should lend
helping hand.

Indianapolis Sweepstakes Are

Nine Daredevils Have Entered and All Claim to Finish
 With Honors in Great 5O0-Mle Event on May 31st

Indianapolis. April 2e.-Every youth as- pires to be a leader in sport. Ty Cobb, a Jess Willard, or Jim Thorpe in foot ball Consequently when a youth turns to auto racing he seeks to be Barney Oldfield or a Ralph DePalma- The race that all speed merchants aspire to win a victory in, is the annual 50o-mile event at Indianapolis. Thus when the speed bug" bites the budding youth he picks the greatest of all races in which to make his first effort.
 Probably the most necessary things in auto racing are the courage to open the engine wide and take chances on the course. and car in which the driver can take chances. Two years ago the Hudson factory put out racing team and im- mediately the Hudson family of owners produced its quota of race drivers. Hud- sons were rebuilt and tuned up because the construction of the engine lent itself to high speeds. Some of the drivers were unusually successful and some of course failed to achieve their desires.
 One of these owners, Leon R. Stewart of Chicago. has rebuilt a stock car into a racing monster" and has picked H. C. Simmons to drive 1t in the 50-mile Liberty sweepstakes May S1. Both are eonfi- dent that before the checkered flag is waved on the tenth car that they will be dividing the profits.

 { The American, in his story which covers the first two weeks of the outbreak, from March 1 to March 15, and which he pre- pared for transmission to the state de- partment at Washington, gives what are purported to be the inside facts as to the cause of the revolution. He reiterated the rumoro regarding the death of the aged former Emperor Vi, that many of the Koreans believed he was suicide in the hope of averting the marriage of his son, Prince Kon, to the Japanese Princess Hashimoto. Vi died, supposedly of apo plexy, on January 22, one week before the time set for the wedding.

 While the farming regions and the mines of Alaska attract a population that for the most part represents real settlers and not nomads, the fishing industry, which in 1917 amounted to more than SS1, 900, ,O00 is carried on by transient labor of a very low class. At the opening of the season drcves of men of the most vicious and abandoned type migrate northward.
 Because of the transiency of the fishing villages and the tremendous distances be- tween all northern settlements, mission aries have to play hide and seek with an elusive population.
