CENTURY OLD CLOCK.

Mr.. Emerson Barnard, of McHenry.
is the owner OF clock by which the
dinner horn was blown, from the
door of an Ohio county farm house,
more than century ago. 1t was
one of the three clocks, brought to
this country in the last years of the
eighteenth century, and was bought
by the present owners great-great-
grandfather. William Barnard. The
clock has been handed down from
generation to generation of the Bar
nard family, and now no longer use
full as a timepiece, is retained as a
family keepsake. The clock was a
serviceable time-keeper until about
forty years ago. 1t is a Seth
Thomas" clock. and the wheels are of
wood.

GOOD ROADS SPEAKINGS.

A number of citizens of Hartford
have gone out into the country this
week to make good roads speeches.
These citizens can have no selfish in
terest in asking the people to vote
for the road tax. No one of them
uses the roads as much as the aver
age farmer, and they are actuated
by no spirit but that of public spirit
edness.
The speakers and the points to
which they go are:
Rev. A. ID. Leichfield. at Wysox
yesterday afternoon and at Hopewell
at night, at Rockport this afternoon
and at Centertown tonight.
w. II. Browder, county agent. and
Mack Galbreath. state road engineer.
spoke at Rosine Tuesday night, Ralph
Wednesday night. at Haynesville last
night and will speak at Herbert to-
night.
Rev. Russell Walker spoke at Dun
dee last night.
Wade Baize spoke at Cromwell
Wednesday night, at Baizetown last
night and will speak at Arnold to-
night.

THE LOOSE LEAF HOUSE.

We have repeatedly called the at
tention of the tobacco growers OF the
county to the matter of establishing
loose leaf house, to market their
question with but one side to it.
Counties all around us are adopting
this policy. Hardin county has Just
organized a company with $4,000
capital to establish IA house at Eliza
bethtown. Grayson county is eff
fecting similar organization, and
Nelson county has just taken up the
matter. In each of the counties
mentioned the business men are
heartily cooperating with the farm
ers in their efforts at home market
ing. II should be apparent to every
Ohio county farmer. who has seen
Owensboro overrun with tobacco,
that the market there is not large
enough to take care of the tobacco
now taken there for sale. not to men
tion the very great burden of cost in
yolyed. A loose leaf house in the
county would mean many thousands
of dollars saved by our business men
in the matter of home trading. From
every point of view the home loose
leaf house appears to us to be both
practical and economical. Let US
build ii this season.

The PRESIDENTS DREAM
Shattered BY SENATE
Forty Members Sign Honor
Pledge To Oppose
Confirmation

Forty members of the American
senate. led by the country's greatest
statesman, Senator Lodge. has done
the country service scarcely less i'm.
portent than winning the war from
| the Huns.
President Wilson appointed him
self the representative of the United
States at the peace conference in Eu-
rope, where he at ono entered upon
the work, not of concluding peace
but building a spectacular social
fabric. with the high sounding title
of League of Nations. He devoted
his great talent. his energies and his
time, to formulating a plan, splendid
and spectacular, however visionary
and impractical. without consulting g
the sentiment of his countrymen or
his congress. The scheme. IL sue
cessful, would involve the United
States in every petty dispute and
quarrel happening to occur in the re-
motest corners of the world, and put
o period to the history of the country
as sovereign and independent Re-
public.
Whether the President had an un-
yielding ambition for a third term
of the presidency, as suggested by Mr..
Watterson, or aspired to the exalted
position of president of the world
league, we have no means of deter
mining. but his zeal and enthusiasm
to involve the United States i'm the
quarrels of the distant nations of the
earth in no way voiced the sentiment
of the American people. His trip
back from Europe was for the pur-
pose, ii is fair to assume, to secure
a vote of confidence from the senate,
which must be the final arbitrator
in the matter. After reaching these
shores the President discovered the
sentiment of the senate was against
his pet scheme. and did not dare to
let a vote be taken. But the Senate.
no longer a registering machine for
the will of the White House, boldly
took up the work of voicing the SEN
timent of the country, and more than
forty members of that body signed
an agreement pledging themselves
to vote against the confirmation of
the peace treaty with the League of
Nations provision, as at present
drawn. AS thirty three seators can
block the confirmation, the League
of Nations plan is as dead as African
slavery, so far as this country is con-
cerned. The President goes back to
Europe a wiser but sadder man.

A BUSY DAY
IN THE COUNTY COURT

Friday morning the Douglases,
the father, IL. C. and sons, Elvis and
Frank. of Rockport, who were re-
Gently locked up on acharge of car
rying concealed deadly weapons, were
brought before the county judge for
trial. After a conference with the
Judge and County Attorney all three
of the men confessed guilt and the
two younger Douglases accepted
sentences of a fifty dollar fine each
and ten days In Jail. The elder
Douglas was fined a similar sum, but
the Jail sentence was not attached.
The jail sentence was ommitted from
the elder Douglas penalty out OF
consideration for the fact that he had
a wife and children, and his older
son wife and child. dependent for
support.
Marshal Flem- Steven, of Beaver
Dam. brought Rex Arbuckle into
court, charged with the offense OF
carrying concealed a deadly weapon.
Rex is only about seventeen years
old. and undersize for his age, but
much valuable paper has been vast
ed. from time TO time, in issuing
warrants for his arrest. The crime
charged in each case has been of trif-
ling importance, but this time he may,

INJUNCTIONS GRANTED

Gently filed by Commonwealth At
torney Claude Smith and County At
torney Herman Birkhead. for the
commonwealth of Kentucky against
the keepers of alleged immoral re-
sorts in OwensbOro. The suits which
were filed under a recent act of the
legislature, asked for the houses to
be closed for "a period OF one year.
When the motion was heard in the
case against Dave and Edith King
and Edna Bell, IL was shown to the
satisfaction OF the court that the
Kings had disposed of the property
in Mulberry street in question, in
1917. A temporary injunction was
denied against the Kings. but grant
ed against Edna Bell.
In the cases against Cora LaVard
and Mabel Carr, with whom the
Kings are co-defendants. a tempo
rary injunction was granted during
the pendency of the suit. Injunctions
were also granted in the cases
against Minnie Aldridge and Alma
Smith.
II has not been determined when
the cases will be called for final
hearing. 1t is understood that one
or two of those against whom suits
have been filed will give bond that
their places will not be used for i'm
moral purposes, and will regain pos

OHIO COUNTY WOMAN
NABBED BY SHERIFF.

Miss Mayme Shown, one Of the
prettiest and most efficient of Ohio
County's school teachers, was taken
in tow by the sheriff of Webster coun-
ty Saturday. Miss Shown went to
Dixon, the Webster Capital last fall,
to accept a position as instructor in
the Dixon High School, and for vio-
lating the law of single blessedness
she was led to the alter by c. |. Ma
hurin, sheriff OF Webster county.
The couple went to Henderson for
the ceremony. Miss Shown was one
of the brightest and most lovabie Of
Ohio county's young ladies, and we

NO TAG NO DOG.

Dog owners. who have not already
done so. should get tags at once for
their dogs, if they want to insure
keeping them. At meeting of the
Fiscal court last week the sheriff
presented a bill. and was paid, for
impound!ng and killing four dogs.
Sheriff Bratcher has been patient in
the, matter of impounding dogs be-
cause the law was a new one, but he
will begin soon a canvass of the coun-
ty Tor the purpose of impounding all
dogs found without tags. The law
provides a pealty on the sheriff for
failure to enforce this law. and he has
no choice in the matter but to per-
form his duty. If you have not
bought tag for your dog you can
pretty safely depend upon some
1eighbOr, who has tagged his, re-
porting your case to the sheriff.

ROAD TAN ELECTION
SOME ERRORS AFLOAT

Some remarkable mistakes are 60
matter of the Road Tax election.
From one section comes the state
ment that story is being told that
a poll tax of from three TO five dollars
will be levied. AS a matter of fact
there is no law for levying road
poll tax. and the story is absurd. An
other story, reported to this office
by telephone yesterday. was that a
certain citizen of Hartford was to
have a job at a big salary il the road
tax carries. The Fiscal court has
bound itself by an order to employ
a citizen of each magisterial district.
after consultation with the citizens of
the district, to oversee the work of
such division, and there will be no
county supervising officer, with or
without salary. And despite the
Fiscal courts order that every dollar
collected In each magisterial district
shall be spent in the district in which
II Is collected, the objection Is still
made that the money will be spent
on the roads about Hartford. A full
statement of the manner of spending
the road tax money appears In the
Hartford Republican each week, and
there seems to be no reasonable ex-
cuse for any citizen mis-stating the
facts. The men who are urging the
adoption of the road tax have no per-
sonal ends to serve. and are earnestly
and honestly trying to render use
ful and needed public service.

The Record makes

in short time. The Record makes
the following statement:
THE post will have at least fifteen
members to start with, the number
required as charter members, but
there is no question but as soon as
organized the post will be much larg-
er.
Hancock has as yet had no home
coming celebration of any kind and
it is quite likely that social "smok-
er" will be arranged, possibly under
the direction of the T. and C. Club,
and an effort made to get all the
boys living tributary to the village
to come in and at that time an active
canvass will be made to get all the
boys to get in with the organiza-
ton. Any of the boys of Swift or
Pope county who live nearer Han
cock than they do some other town
can join here and will be asked to
do so. Members of any post can
transfer to another at any time they
desire and it is quite likely that
some who have already joined an
other post will transfer here as soon
as the post is established.
"As it will be readily understood
the membership will be composed of
soldier, sailors or marines who were
in the service of the United States in
the recent war and the Constitution
of the Legion is certainly one that
should make any of the lads glad
to join. In part it is as follows"
For God and Country we asso-
ciate ourselves together for the fol-
lowing purposes: To uphold and de-
fend the Constitution of the United
States of America; to maintain law
and order; to foster and perpetuate
a one hundred per cent American
ism; to preserve the memories and
incidents of our associations in the
Great War; to inculcate a sense Of
individual obligations to the COM
munity, state and nation; to make
right the master of might; to pro-
mote peace and good will on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to poster
ity the principles of justice, of free
dom and democracy; to consecrate
and sanctify our comradeship by our
devotion to mutual helpfulness.'
