The Republican Convention.

The Republicans of Adair County
met in Convention, Saturday, at one
o'clock. Elected Judge n. G. Baker
Chairman, and L. B. Hurt, Secretary.
Adopted resolutions, appointed dele
gates to the State Convention and ad.
journed, after adopting the following
resolutions:
Resolved, that we approve the call
of this convention, and the State con.
vention to be held at Lexington, KY,
on the 18th day of May, 1919.
End. We point with pride to the
fact that the Republican party, has
since its birth, been thoroughly Amer
lean, and has stood on the broad prin-
ciple Of protection, of defense and
progress, and that during the late
World war, it furnished more men,
more money, and were more loyal in
their efforts to maintain the National
integrity, and to bring the war to a
successful conclusion than were their
opponents who were in control of
National affairs.
Bird. Resolved that we oppose any
League of Nations that will surrender
the right of this country to be gov
erned by our own citizens.
4th. Resolved, that we condemn the
present system of taxation, which
places too large a percentage of the
burden on the land owners as unfair
and unjust.
5th. Resolved, that we condemn the
reckless extravaganza and waste of
the peoples money in both State and
Nation, thereby creating a necessity
for the enormous increase in Taxation
with which our people are burdened,
and call on the voters to rise in their
might and correct the existing evils
with their ballots at the coming No.
vember election.
9Th. Resolved, that we endorse Hon.
Edwin P. Morrow for Governor of
Kentucky, and instruct our delegates
to the State Convention, at Lexirg-
ton to cast the vote of Adair county
for him as the Republican nominee
for that office at the coming Novem.
Der election, and on all other ques-
lions that may come before said con-
vention to cast the vote of Adair
county as their best Judgment may
suggest.

The Soldiers Chance.

He stopped one day at the Office
A fellow haggard and tall,
And asked if a place were vacant
For clerical work-that's all.
OF course was awfully sorry,
That at present things were slow;
But he only smiled and thanked me,
And then. he turned to 60.
L noticed an arm was missing,
And said-with different glance
Chow did in happen?"-he answered
"Out in the fields of France"
My hand went up to his shoulder,
Yet he didn't show surprise
At my sudden change of feeling,
Or the tears that filled my eyes.
You bet could find him something,
And give him a soldiers chance
For boy of mine was lying
Out in the Fields of France.

lottery MOST OFTEN.
Add to the primitive instinct for
beauty as a means to love, and the
natural feminine joy in creature com
fort and beauty for itself, the knowl-
edge that good looks are n business
asset-and the sum total is the reason
for the unprecedented prosperity OF
beauty shops.
Beauty is a step toward love-in its
pursuit there is comfort and pleasure

Business (sacred i~nstitution) dc
crees that its successful women shall
not only be clever and capable-but
good looking as well. No successful

business prestige as a shabby office or
