100 SERVICE
 MEN WANT
 POLICE JOBS

With more than 100 applications from ex-service men to be acted upon, it Is probable that the Police commissioners at their next meeting will appoint number Of new patrol men in the local department.
 It was reported today. that the commissioners are considering the ad- visibility of appointing ten new men who will go on regular duty in the near future. Inasmuch as many eX- service men have asked for appoint ments on the Bridgeport police force, 1t is likely that these men will be given first choice when the matter Is brought before the commissioners.
 Nothing definite relative to the ap- pOintment of new policemen could be learned from the commissioners to- cay, but 1t is quite probable that a number of appointments will be made at the meeting which will be held on September 15.

UTNEY MEN
 WOULD HAVE
 COP AS STARTER

A special policeman will be em- ployed by the jitney drivers of this city. to handle the busses at the end of the East Main street line where sometimes as many as 15 or 20 ma chimes are congregated. The drivers believe that a special policeman on duty at this point will serve to keep some drivers from "cutting in" at the head of the line of waiting cars. The iitney men decided upon this action last night, a a meeting of the Bridge port Jitney Bus Owners association.
 Complaint was made in the meet ing. that too many jitneys are now operating on the Ash creek line, and it was voted to request the operators on this line to work one day less a week. thus reducing the number of busses competing-

WEDGE AS
 BOY SCOUT
 SAVES HIS LIFE

That the motto of the Boy Scouts of America, Be Prepared" is more than a fancy slogan was demon strated the other day by two scouts, Morgan Coyte, Of Troop No. l, and George Petr!e, Troop No. 3, of Ridge field Park, W. J., who were camping along the Hackensack River, near New Bridge. when -
 But let John E. s. Petrie, assistant scoutmaster of Troop No. 3, tell it:
 About daybreak Thursday morn ing Scout Coyte awolCe and saw cOpperhead snake a few inches away from his face. He raised his hand and as he did so the snake made q strike and fastened it's fangs in his right forearm midway between the wrist and elbow The snake then made off, and before Scout Coyte could get outside the tent had dis appeared.
 "Scout Coyte at once realized what had happened and made good use of his advanced first aid instructions. He first sucked on the wound and i'm provised a tourn!quet with a hand kerch!ef and a small stick, which Scout Petrie applied above the bite and Just below the elbow.
 The wound did not bleed to any extent, and to make 1t bleed more freely Coyte took safety razor blade and cut into and around tho wound. This brought the desired flow and then to cauterize the wound the powder was taken from cartridge and placed on the open wound and touched off with a match. Coyte suf- fered no i'll effects from the snake bite and was able 10 go back to his work in a few days

KEPT HIS PLEDGE
BUT DAMAGED A TREE

Mr.. Charlie Taylor, the Planning
Mill man, of Beaver Dam. would keep
his promise if he lost limb. One
day last week Charlie started out TO
learn to pilot a Ford, and while pass
ing a neighbours house the women
folks sitting on the porch, observing
he was a little awkward in operating
the machine, smiled at his clumsiness.
Stung by the mild criticism Charlie
banteringly told them he was going
to learn to operate that Ford or land
it in a ditch. A few minutes later
the Ford came to sudden stop and
the bark on a tree needed replacing,
but Charlie kept his pledge, if we may
substitute a tree for the ditch.

FISHING PARTY HAS
SUCCESSFUL OUTING

A fishing party made up of DR.. A.

Harve Sheffield, with Lem Nall for
cook. spent last week at High View,
on Green river. The party reports
catch of more than $50 pounds Of
fish, and that they had very pleas
ant outing. Dr. Riley is authority
for the story that after a twelve
pound cat fish had got loose from
where it was tied to the bank Mr..
Sheffield caught it with dip NET.
The story is reasonable to the ex-
perienced fisherman, who knows that
a fish turned loose after being long
tied requires little time to recog-
nize the condition of its freedom,
and is SLOW to move from the spot.

No. 46
REPUBLICANS MEET
IN Big convention
Strong Ticket Is Endorsed
And Wise Platform
Adopted.
By Fred ID. Hanover.

Lexington, KY, May 14.-Con-
demning the Democratic administra-
ton of the state for wasteful ex-
travagance and violation of the con-
fidence of the people, the Republicans
of Kentucky in convention here to-
night adopted a platform into which
was written a remedy for their politi-
cal ills-a declaration of inderend-
ence from a demagogic rule-and
unanimously Endorsed a ticket headed
by Edwin p. Morrow to lead the par
ty to victory in November.
The convention was one of the
most enthusiastic and harmonious
gatherings of the party ever held in
Kentucky. 1t was also asserted by
old convention followers here that
the crowd of more than 1000 persons
crowding the auditorium in Wood
land Park, was the largest ever seen
at Republican convention.
from the moment f. T. Franks, of
greensboro, raped his gavel calling
the great gathering together at two
o'clock this afternoon until the clos
ing moment of the convention, the
proceedings moved with smoothness
and rapidity, despite the fact that
some Democratic hopes had predicted
a wrangle in the convention over the
Endorsement of officers for certain
places on the ticket and over the
adoption of a policy with regard to
the tax problem.
The ticket Endorsed here tonight,
it was confidently believed by the
leaders, would be accepted by the
people with the same unanimity that
characterized their platform conven-
tion and that the necessity of a Re-
publican primary election in August
would be obviated. The candidates
Endorsed tonight will file their petit
tions with the secretary of state, and
unless other candidates come forward
within forty days of the date of the
August primary will be certified as
designated under the primary cleo
ton.
The following candidates were in
dorsed:
For Governor-Edwin p. Morrow,
of Somerset.
For Lieutenant Governor s.
Thruston Ballard, of Louisville.
For Secretary of State-Fred A.
Vaughn, of Pike County.
For Attorney General-Charles l.
Dawson. of Pineville, Ky.
For Auditor-John ]. Craig, of
Covington.
For Superintendent of Public In,
struction-George NJ. Colvin, Of
Springfield.
For Clerk of the Court of Appeals
Roy B. Speck, of Bowling Green.
For Commissioner of Agriculture

THE ROAD MOVEMENT.

The effort to build a modern high
way from Bowling Green to Owens
boro, via Cromwell, Beaver Dam,
Hartford and either on down the
present route of the Hartford and
Owensboro road, or by Heflin, ap-
pears to be up to the Hartford sec
ton. 1t is our information that the
residents along the Heflin route
have practically raised their quota;
as to the Beda-Buford sections we
are not advised if anything has been
done, and if not, if the road is built
it is morally certain to take the Hef-
lin route. Beaver Dam and the sec
ton beyond, to Green River, have
their quotas almost assured, so we
are informed. This leaves Hartford
section unprovided for, at this time.
We are for the building Of modern
roads for every section of the county,
but as it appears to us, no other road
could possibly be constructed that

great a number of people. Is the
town of Hartford, the the people of
this community, going to sleep
through the present opportunity like
sluggards and let this greatest of
boons die 'a-bornin?" If this local
section lies down on the stretches on
either side, thereby breaking the link
between Bowling Green and Owens
borO, depriving the thousands of
others of the right to use good up
to-date road, it would be the most
shameful thing that this community
has been guilty of since we have
known it. We don't believe it will
do so either, but it will require work,
liberality and a bit OF apparent sacri-
flee and we have come to the point
where it must be done now, if at all.
We are asked to raise by subscrip-
ton, 20 per cent of the estimated
cost, this to be supplemented by a
like sum by the County, the balance
or so per cent will be paid by the
State and Federal Governments.
Don't loose sight of the fact that
there is absolutely no way to get this
splendid and much needed highway
without the people along the route
raise the 20 per cent. So lets get
busy, do it now, because the matter
will be finally closed for us within
the next few days and the opportunity
gone for a long time to come.

KICKED BY HORSE
AND LEG BROKEN

Goebel. young son of postmaster
Ozna Shuts, received a serious in
jury, when kicked by horse, Monday
morning. The boy was driving the
horse in a wagon team, and while
his feet were hanging over the front
wagon gate the horse kicked him,
breaking a bone in his leg Physi-
clans were called and splinted the
broken limb, and he is getting along
nicely. The horse is given to kick
ing and Mr.. Shuts had frequently
warned the boy to be cautious, but
he persisted in taking a boys risk
and incurred the consequence.
