An Authorized FaIlacy

Government authorities and
macy of the agricultural news
papers tell us the seventeen-year
locusts are due this year. These
authorities had better 90 back
and count over. AS The Times
man so well remembers, these To-
Gusts appeared first to our know
ledge in the spring of 1889; again
in the spring of 1906 and are not
due to appear in their seventeen
year period until 1923. We will
pit our recollection OF the matter
against all the records at Wash
ington, and if we are not right,
and the locusts come this year as
they advise US they will do, we
will set up the ice cream to their
stomach's content il they will
come to Clay City.

Contending that the oil pro-

Legislature in 1917, a bill intro
duced by our Representative. K.

all tax on oil properties, w. 5.
Raydure, a millionaire oil oper-
ator, of Bowling Green, o., and
holding millions of oil property
| in Estill county, in the spring Of
1918 resisted the payment of any
tax on undevelopcd leases, as
sorting that the oil production
tax covered it all,
Notwithstanding the fact that
his case was very ably handled
through the courts by Pendleton
& Bush, and Judge Ed. @. o.
Rear, corporation LAWYERS OF
State reputation, the Court of
Appeals held that the oil produc-
ton tax was a license tax only,
which was levied in addition to
any ad valorem tax.
Armed with this decision, State
revenue men. are going after the
omitted ad valorem tax, and they
have begun first on Raydure,
who sought in the beginning to
evade any ad valorem tax at all
on undeveloped rights. A suit
was brought and tried in Judge
Noland's court in Estill county
against Raydure for emitting
tax aggregating thousands. Judge
holland has not handed down
decision in the case at this time.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotteng The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits. as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
SALE
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle Of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.--Ady.
