Organization.

The Christian County Egg Circle

Then Easily Wins From the
HOpkinsville High

est day in the history of the Howell
High School. And although rain fell
intermittently through all the day

spring session of the school.
In the forenoon the commence
ment exercises were held.
Mr.. W. w. Radford delivered a
short and appropriate welcome ad-
dress to those assembled, after which
Mr.. James Breathitt, Jr., paid glow
ing tribute to the valor of the Ameri-
can soldier in the recent world war.
The Hon. RaineyT. Wells, of Muir
ray, KY, delivered the annual class
address and it was conceded by all
present to be the best ever delivered
in this region on a similar occasion.
After the address Prof. L. E. Foster
delivered the diplomas to the sixteen
graduates, eleven whom were girls
and five boys.
At the close of the exercises an
elaborate old-fashioned dinner was
served on the grounds and the hun
dreds assembled will always vouch
for the hospitality and good cooking
of the ladies of Howell.
In the afternoon the Howell and

TOBACCO
SEASON ENDS
Every Local Factory Has Received
Its Purchase-Season Closes
June /.

AS the first of June draws nearer
the forecast that all of last years
tobacco crop would be in before that
time has been verified.
The Tandy G Fairleigh tobacco fac
tory will soon shut down, while the
Kentucky Leaf is practically done
now. The same is true with the I'M
perial.
The farmers early in the year took
advantage Of the good weather to
bring their crops to the market and
often hundreds of wagons could be
seen lining either side of the street
over night, the farmers being unable
to unload on account of the rush.
AS the result the factories early
had their purchase in the bulk. Then
the strain to get through prizing as
soon as possible began with the result
that next week will find the last of
the crop in the hogsheads and on the
way to foreign markets.
Americas actual war expenditures
totalled $23,363, 100000.
