You'll be inter-
ested in what this
woman said

She was talking to us about
her telephone and about our
store.
She said: "Do you know,
if your store were the only
phone station | could talk to,
I'D still think my phone was
worth more than it costsp
She said our phone service
saved her time, conserved her
energy, enabled her to stay
home and go to market"
when the weather was bad and
was invaluable in emergencies.
And best of all, that her gro.
ceries cost her no more, quality
considered.
OF course her satisfactory
phone ordering Is dependent
on satisfactory service at our
end of the wire.
We see that she gets exactly
what she orders and that her
goods are delivered promptly.
We give her-and all sour
customers real grocery ser
vice. Andrea groceries, too
the best we can get in every
line.
Take baking powders for ex-
ample. We carry all the good
brands but we especially re-
commend RYz0N.
We've tested it ourselves
and we know 1t is q powder
which will make friends for
us. It Is economical because
less is required and because
there ARE more teaspoonfuls
per pound. A full pound costs
but 40 cents. OF course, it's
absolutely pure.

Schools Get 100000 From Dogs

The total number of dog licens-
es issued since January, with 81
counties missing for July, IS for
May, and three for the four
months preceding, was 2l2,662
and Isl kennel licenses, including
2,o50 more dogs, while 6,10O dogs
have been killed. The revenue
from these licenses was $251,751,
compared to $l7o,12S, returned
by the county assessors in 1918.
Commissioner Cohen estimates
that the school fund will receive
approximately 100000 from the
licenses. In 1917 the Auditor s
report shows the school fund re-
ceived $45,886.75 While $A,-
2O3.56 were paid on sheep claims
the same year, the report does not
show the actual amount for sheep
killed, as at that time the funds
credited to each county were pro-
rated among the claimants, whose
claims were thus extinguished
each year, and few counties ever
had enough to their credit to
make full payment.
In Fayette county the sheriff
makes a report which shows the
immediate effect of the enforce
ment of the law. He said that up
to the time in February when he
began catching unlicensed dogs,
but $40 had been licensed. Since
that time the number has been in
creased to 200. He has i'm
pounded 144 and killed 120.

wart, unlike that to which the

grows until it becomes as large
as the potato itself. Uncle Sam

for this disease. The town gar
dener and the big farmer should

TO REPEAL PARKING
ON FIRST STREET

So much complaint has beer
heard over the parking ordi-
ance as it affects First street
that all of the members of the
City Council are understood to
have agreed to repeal this fea-
ture of the parking ordinance at
their next meeting. The country
people who from time imme-
mortal have used First street on
court days for horse and mule
trading were forced off, it last
court day by parking of autoes
in the center of the street.
Led by T. K. Hamilton, of
Hamilton Bros, First street bus
mess men signed a petition to the
council to repeal the parking
law as it applies to First street,
and assurance has been given
that the country people may
again use First street to their
hearts content next court day.
This will apply also to the melon
vendors as well as mule sellers,
for the time for ripe melons, for
which Madison is noted, is close
at hand and during the season
First street is the marketing
place for the country folks for
this luscious product of the soil.

STATE TAX BOARD
ACCEPTS ASSESSMENT

County Tax Commissioner Ben
IF. Powell and his able assistant,
Deputy Will Adams, are getting
the assessment books of the coun-
ty ready for the taxpayers for
the coming assessment. The
Tax Commission at Frankfort ac-
cepted the increase of $2,oOO,0W
as made on the last assessment
of Madison county and the books
are closed. 1t will be recalled
| that the Tax Commission ordered
a total raise of s., 100000 in round
numbers on Madison's assess
ment as originally made. This
makes the total of Madison coun-.
ty taxable property $24,926,O42
There was much objection, to
what the taxpayers felt was an
unreasonable increase, and after.
devoting a great deal of time, to
the matter, the Supervisors did
not feel able that they could in
justice to the county, make the
raise over $2,oOO,OOO. They en-
deavored to reach an equitable
assessment of IS per cent of
property valuation, and this being
what the State Tax Board de-
sired, it accepted the work of the
local board. The State Tax Board
is up against the same proposi-
tion in Fayette county and il
seems that an amicable adjust
ment is about to be reached
over there.
Sheriff P. S. Whitlock has
mailed to the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad statement of the
amount due Madison county for
1919 taxes. The statement shows
that the railroad has 66.o5 miles
of road in the county, and the
total amount of taxes due is So
264,45. Of this amount $4,33O.-
SO is for county purposes and
81 ,384.N is for school purposes.
