No Stunts"
OFF FOR MAYFIELD SUNDAY
Delayed By Following The Wrong
Railroad Track Into Hop
kinsviIIe.

The aeroplane promised as an aid
in the Victory Bond campaign finally
reached Hopkinsville Saturday after
several ups and downs. Lieut.. Har-
ry G. Setzlar and Sergeant James
Sullivan, from Camp Knox, manned
the machine, a Curtiss training plane.
They undertook to follow the Illinois
Central road to Nortonville and then
turn over the L. & N, but changed
their course at Central City and fol-
lowed the o. & N. branch and finally
came down at Adairville, where they
Strengthened themselves out and
reached Hopkinsville at 1 o'clock,
landing in the Dalton field northwest
of town. The motor was giving
trouble and it was not until about A
o'clock that it finally rose, circled
over the eastern part of town at an
altitude of several hundred feet and
came down in the fair grounds, from
which it soon after took the air and
started for Mayfeld. Further motor
troubles developed and they returned
to this city after going short dis
tance and spent the night. The avail
tors placed their machine near the
Dalton Brick yard and spent the
night at Hotel Latham. Sunday
they left for Mayfield.

Mayor Bassett Acted AS Chairman Of
The Meeting and Was Principal
Speaker.

A 1880 Monday night at the II. B.
M. A. room, the first step swere taken
toward organizing an independent
baseball team in Hopkinsville. A
large and enthusiastic crowd was
present to talk over the situation
Mayor Bassett acted as chairman and
was the principal speaker. He said
that now that the war was over, base
ball was bound to "come back
stronger than ever. He emphasized
the fact that the people of Hopkins
vile were eager to see some good
games and as it was impossible to
reorganize the old Kitty League, this
year, it was an ideal opportunity fol-
the local talent to organize and to
form an amateur league in the neigh
boring towns.
Already, with the coming Of spring,
Owensboro, Paducah, Trenton, Mad
isonville, Darlington, Dawson and a
large number of other cities in West
Kentucky have formed amateur teams
and are anxious to play any good
amateur or independent team in this
section of the State
The big leagues have opened their
season and baseball is seen, felt and
heard on every hand. For the last
two years the national game has been
on the wane. The old back lots that
had furnished the training school for
the youngsters were converted into
ssysar gardens and the little fellows
were patriotic war gardeners.
Big Brother was away in France or at
the Camps and the boys had no one
to talk athletics to them. Now its
all changed. The boys are back home
full of life and energy, the younger
boys have taken up the game as never
before and not a day passes but
what some young "Capt." or other
leads his warriors against the enemy
of tradition. Every back lot has its
team and everybody wants baseball.
Several influential business men
have made or pledged liberal amounts
towards equipping a team in this city.
Many more have expressed their
to help. Everybody is
asked to contribute.
Scott Means was elected unani-
mously to lead the local team and
Thos. Roberts was selected as busi-
ness manager. Already good start
has been made towards getting the
team together. All who are interest
ed and desire to help may leave their
at the Kentuckian Office
with Thos. Roberts, or with Mayor
Bassett.

BIG PROJECT
Greatest Boost cOvernnsnt Ha4 Civ
en- Christian and HOphaab 4
Counties.

The citizens of Christian county
are awkening to the fact that the
choosing Of the site adjacent to Daw-
son Springs fo rthe erection of the
government hospital for GONZALES
cent soldiers will be the biggest boost
received from the government, in
the country's history
This would mean an excellent high
way of 1876 miles, running through
some of the best portions of the
state and connecting three very prom
inent and interesting places geo.
graphically, as well as historically.
1t is also planned to erect mile
stones at intervals of two and one
half miles along this highway, one
for each of the forty-eight states in
the Union.
1t is intended that this highway be
erected as a national memorial for
the American soldiers, who have
served this county in the recent war.
Ready For Work.
The survey of the first tract of
land to be given the government,
which is to be used for the site for
the federal sanitarium to be erected
at Dawson Springs, has been com
pleted and this land will be ready
to be turned over to the government
within short time. This tract has
been selected for two or the
buildings and work will probably be-
gin on these buildings as soon as the
land is turned over to the govern
ment. Attorneys at Madisonville
have been secured to make the alb
stracts and they have been at work
on this for several days.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where THE
successful remedy is made impreDses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making Of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 600 pounds Of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes in
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
In sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment Of
female Ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use Of
Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

remarkable things about this "Comus."
There is hardly another copy like it
