All Rights of Way from Barbourville
TO Bell County Secured

County Attorney, Jas. s. Golden
reported Saturday that he and Judge
j. d. Tuggle had secured every out
standing right-of-way along the Dixie
Highway from Barbourville to Bell
County. As the route the first two
miles out of Corbin has not been def
initely settled, 1t is too early to say
whether there will be trouble but
but since twenty-five deeds or more
have been secured and as there are
optional routes for the Highway, no
trouble is anticipated. AS soon as
the route is decided on our hustling
County Judgeand County Attorney
will get after the rights of way so
that the building of the Dixie High
way, with its asphalted surface, may
become a real and most important
asset to Barbourville and Knox Co.
We congratulate our Fiscal Court
on their good work. Tell them you
yourselves appreciate it. They are
human and like a handshake and
a good work" as we'll as the rest
of Us.

JUDGE ED MORROW HERE
Expects to De Elected Governor

Expects to De Elected Governor
Judge Ed Morrow, candidate of
the Republican party for Governor of
Kentucky and whom many believe
should have been Governor two years
ago. was here Tuesday on legal bus
mess. He appeared confident of the
support Of the people of Kentucky
generally and believes the good peo-
pie Of the mountain sections will
rally strongly to him. He spoke Of
the wonderful opportunities for the
development of these great store
houses of nature, the Kentucky
Mountains and we are sure that when
the opportunity comes for him to
serve us of the mountains, he will
do all in his power to do so.
"Never before" so Judge Morrow
said, have Republican prospects
been brighter. 1t is only by apathy
and by not coming to the polls that
they can lose. If they work for vic
tory they will win hands down.
Knox County, l am sure l can count
on for a hansome majority"
Judge Morrow expressed great
pleasure when told of a number of
Democrates who will vote for him.

Do You Sleep Well?

To be at his best a man must have
sound, refreshing sleep. When wake
full and restless at night he is in no
condition for work or business dur
ing the day. Wakefulness is often
caused by indigestion and constipa-
ton, and is quickly relieved by Cham
belains Tablets. Try a dose of these
tablets and see how much better you
feel with a clear head and good d.

SCHOOL GARDEN LESSON

Now is the time to plan for our
school garden. First of all, we must
select the place. Try to find one
that receives plenty of sunshine, as
sunlight is very necessary to plan!
life.
Next look at the soil. See that it
is deep. A soil must be deep be-
cause roots require depth in order
TO fasten themselves into the ground.
1t also must be deep because it must
contain moisture, for as you well
know. water is essential 10 life.
If you are planning TO grow beans,
choose the sunny side Of the fence,
dig a deep trench all along and pull
verize the earth well. If you are
planning to use a seed bed, spade it
deeply, pulverize the soil and
smooth it down.
To pulverize means, TO take out all
the hard Jumps and to make the
earth fine like sugar and flour. Now
pulverize the soil just as deeply as
you have turned it up-crush out
every lump.
