No cure has been discovered for
tire dreaded, insidious Spanish In
luenza, and many Of the most
prominent doctors fear an epidem-
ic Of the Flu during the coming
fall and winter months, as bad, II
not worse, than the one last win
ter.
The high percentage Of deaths
during the recent Flu" epidemic
alarmed the doctors, and medical
science has tried INCREASINGLY to
discover the cause OF FLU but
without avail. Psychologists.
chemists and laboratory experts
all over the world are anxiously
trying to search out the cause and
find serum that will prevent con-
tagion.
The great death toll that result
ed from the Flu" was greater than
the losses Of the American army
during the World War. It carried
away the young and old. the weak
and strong, yet was most danger
Gus to those who seemed to be in
vigorous health, young men and
women who looked strong and

That Flu" Is very contagious
has besn proved conclusively. The
Kansas State Board Of Health has
decided to isolate all Flu" sus-
poets II an epidemic occurs this fall
and winter. Many other states are
greeting ready to tight the Flu
should It break out again. Doctors
generally believe that it is caused
by germs that are carried by the
breath into the nose and throat
and then get into the blood
through the tonsils, stomach and
intestines.
But even the doctors frankly ad.
NIT that they do not know what
causes the FLU" and that 1t is one
!!of the most treacherous and deadly
diseases with which they have te
contend.
The Flu" Is not only dangerous
to life during the illness period

the men have the right to answer:
To promote the production Of live
stock and ~perishables and in
crease the food supply;
To reach more people with more
n better meat;
To make a fail competitive profit,
in order to reimburse the
$4,000 shareholders for the use

for the future development OF
the business;
To reduce to a minimum the costs
of preparing and distributing
meat and to divide the benefits
of efficiency with producer and

STATE SCHOOL HEADS.

In order to arouse interest among
the school authorities of the State in
Memorial Hall to be erected on the

memory of the 2,756 Kentuckians
killed during the Worlds War, Su-

school superintendent. In the letter
he says that the boys and men who
made the supreme sacrifice were
fighting for an ideal and for the
honor of Kentucky.
A tablet will be placed in the Hall
of Fame on which will be engraved
the names of the Kentuckians who
gave their lives. War relics and rec
ords pertaining to Kentucky's part

The Proposed Road Tax
of Bourbon County.

you are when you tell them you are
opposed to the high taxes and many
assessments on your property. OF
course, they are looking out for their
own interest. They get four per
cent. for collecting this $1,140,-
10000, which amounts to $4,600.0O.
Do not be misled by the cunning
guardian" of the peoples inter-
est" who is sending his agents about
the county to mislead you with his
juggle of figures about creating a
sinking fund that will take care of
this bond issue, ETC., just as if this
would never have to be paid back.
The war has just been won and there
are its costs to be met, and they are
many. The people are burdened with
taxes, National, State, County, City
and District, and it is bad time to
be heaping so many taxes on property
generally.
Why not postpone this stupendous
tax until building material and labor
are more reasonable? Vote mo" on
both of these propositions and there
by do a great deed in helping the
small property owner, who is now
struggling against high taxes and in
creased rentals in every form.
Why should some folks wax so
warm and get so red in the face be-
cause some dare oppose them in try
ing to make clear to you, Mr.. Tax
payer, this great and important mat
ter which effects every property
owner in the county?
1t is amazing what great interest
these money lenders" are processing
for ''cross-road" pixies just now, when
they admit that the main roads and
few pet communities will be taken
care of first, then, as usual, the
money will all be gone and the
"cross-road" pixies left to the future.
There must be an end somewhere
to this increased tax mania of the
present day. The people must resist
or they cannot pay the taxes that
will be heaped upon them from year
to year. Now is the time to stop
TAX PAYERS.

Quite happy surprise was giver
to Mrs. Mary Bruer at her home or
Fourth Street, Saturday afternoon
when about thirty-five of her friends
called at different hours during the
afternoon to offer congratulations
upon her eighty-sixth birthday.
Her daughter, Miss Louie, assisted

tribute to her life and offered con-
CALCULATIONS and fluctuations upon
the attainment of such a long and
useful life.
Dr. Orr offered a prayer, which
was q fitting close for so happy an
ocean
AY1end present wrote the follow
ing poem and dedicated it to Mrs
Bruer:
Softly, oh softly, the years have
swept by thee,
Touching thee lightly with tenderest
care,
Sorrows and death they have often
brought nigh thee,
Yet they have left thee but beauty
to wear.
Growing old willingly,
Thankful, serene.
Four-score and six are the years
given thee,
Full Of good deeds and service they've
been,
Many the life that has been bright
ened by thee,
Helped and encouraged and turned
from their sin.
Growing old happily,
Cheerful and bright.
Rich in experience that angels might
covet,
Rich in faith Ihat hath grown with
the years,
Rich in a love that grew from and
above it,
Soothing thy sorrows and hushing
thy fears.
Growing old wealtEily,
Loving and dear.
Eyes that grow dim to earth and its |
glory,
Have a sweet recompense earth can |
not know,
Ears that grow dull 10 the world and |
its story,
Drink in the songs that from Para
disc flow. -
Growing old gracefully,
Purer than snow

THOUGHT TWAS A "FLYER."

A group of citizens were standing
on the corner of Fourth and Main
streets, discussing the weather and
other kindred topics, when suddenly
there was humming, droning sound
in the air as if an aerOplane was
making a fight over the city. With
necks craned as long as they could
be stretched out the men "rubbered'
until their straining eyes could see
almost beyond the blue of the sky,
but no aerial visitor greeted their
vision.
The sound was heard by others
who came from stores and other
places in a hurried effort to get a
glimpse of the supposed high-up-vis-
itor. The sound continued, growing
in volume. Suddenly a large bird
appeared high in the air and the rub
bernecks were confident they had
solved the mystery. But they were
all mistaken, as, in q few minutes, a
repair man from nearby garage
emerged from beneath large ma
chine standing near the curbing
some distance away, and exclaimed,
as he gathered up his tools: There
now, / guess that old auto horn will
quit it's music and begin to act
right" An auto horn on the machine
had become damned in some manner,
and in an endeavor to get it on the
right road again, the owner of the
machine had made it worse. Hence,
the aeroplane effect, and hence, the
disappointed spectators.

MR.. EDITOR: = We hear many
persons who are interested either di-
rectly or indirectly advocating the
road tax in the form that it has been
proposed, but those who for one rea-
son or another oppose it, seldom take
time to state their reasons.
If one will stop to think there are
many objections to the proposition.
and while we are not going to dis
cuss the matter at length, there are
some things that occur to us to
which the attention of the public
should be called.
At the meeting Tuesday night one
of the speakers said that this was no
time for the fellow, who plodded or
drove along at the rate of four or
five miles an hour; that this was an
age of progression. Another speaker,
lawyer, said that it was true that
the law did not permit the delegating
of power to any Commission longer
than the expiration of the terms of
the members of Fiscal Court, which
is two years.
Every advocate of this tremendous
tax admits that the big automobiles
and heavy trucks are responsible for
the rapid wear of the roads and yet
we have not heard of single one
advocating the taking of this tax
of the owner of the small house and
lot and small business place, and
placing it where it properly belongs,
on the big automobile owner and the
big business employing so many au-
tomobiles and trucks.
They say no one is to get anything
out of this big tax, yet they are ad-
vocating the borrowing of these
huge sums of money just as if these
same people who are its loudest ad-
vocates would loan the poor widow
$4,000 unless she paid interest at
the rate of six per cent. or more and
gave a mortgage to secure payment;
yet would not charge interest on
these large sums. OF course inter-
est will have to be paid. And there
are the Sheriff and Deputies all out
telling how foolish and unprogressive
(Adverti
