COUNCIL TO SETTLE
POLE MATTER TONIGHT
City Fathers Have Much Busi-
ness of Importance Before
Them At Regular Session /.

Final settlement Of the pole on
Main street question: may be
made at the regular meeting of
the.City Fathers here tonight. An
ordinance was laid over at last.
meeting until tonight when it will
be called, Councilman William
|O'Neil announced at the August
meeting that he will call out this
ordinance for final action at the
September meeting.
The question of what PROPOSE
ton the Cumberland Telephone
and Telegraph Company is to Of
fer the city has not yet been an
nouHced. It is thought probable
that representatives will go be-
fore the council tonight to make
known the company's proposition
in regard to furnishing better
service to the people of Richmond
in consideration of being allowed
to retain the higher rates which
were put into effect during the
governments control in war time.
So far the Kentucky Utilities
Company has made no PROPOSE
tion regarding removal of its
|poles from Main street. When
the Council passes the pole re-
moval ordinance, as it seems GER
tain to do, some action will have
to be taken by the lighting and
power company. The White Way
movement will undoubtedly be-
set on foot at once and pushedso<
that it may be completed before
the streets are ready for paving.
The Council meeting tonight
promises to be, quite a busy ses-
sion, with these matters before it.

WILSON
SPREADING IT ABROAD
DIV Associated Pressl

Columbus, O., Sept. 4Presi-
dent Wilson in opening his coun-
try-wide speaking tour for the
peace treaty, declared in his ad-
dress here today his purpose was
to "go out and report to my fell
low countrymen."
The President spoke in an au-
ditorium jammed with crowd OF
1000, and was frequently cheer
ed. He said the treaty undertook
to punish Germany but not to
crush it's people. He declared the
League of Nations as formed full
fills the promise the United States
fought the war for ito end busi-
ness Of that sort" forever and not
to establish a league, he said
would ''be unfaithful to those
who died. He said the associated
league is "the only thing that can
prevent recurrence of this ca
tastrophe" He said "it also
"tears away the chains of oppres-
sion and gives small nations the
right to live their own lives. Re-
ferring to criticisms that the
treaty violated American tradi-
tions, says he followed the pur-
poses of the vision the Fathers
had seen and that it was an "at-
tempt to right the wrongs of Eu-
rope" and was a measurable
success"
The President said the, treaty
also contained the Magma Char
ter of Labor, setting up interia-
tional labor organizations which
he said, should have been provid-
ed long ago. He appealed to his
hearers to exert their influence
for acceptance of the treaty and
"dont' let men pull it down." He
said don't let them misrepresent
it."
"When this treaty is accepted"
he declared, "men in khaki will
never have to cross the seas
again. And I say when it is ac-
cepted because it will be accept
ed.'

LACK OF BOOKS HURT
COUNTRY SCHOOLS

Action of the County Board of
Education Monday in agreeing to
pay the tuition of county pupils
who are living much closer to the
city high schools than they do to
any of the county high schools
was one Of the features of the
Board meeting. Entrants from
the county will take a special ex-
animation before the city board
of examiners. There were II from
the county enrolled in the city
schools Tuesday. Supt. Paynes
and Hon. John holland, represent
ing the city board, appeared be-
fore the county authorities and
entered into this arrangement
with them, which will undoubted-
ly prove for the best interests of
all concerned.
The county board elected Miss
Mary Earle Griggs to succeed
Miss Lena Hart, resigned at the
Union City High School.
1t as(decided that where coun-
try teachers were losing some
time each day, that they be mott
fed that they must make up the
time, or have deductions made
from their salaries. County STU
perintendent Edwards was in
structed to notify them to this eff
feet.
In view of the fact that the
Bearwal1ow school is crowded
beyond it's capacity, the pupils of
the 9TH and 9th grades were
transferred to the Kingston high
school. There are over 80 enrolled
at Bearwallow already.
Reports from all over the coun-
ty are that there is a large at
tendance. Much delay and trou-
bic is being experienced on ac-
count of the lack of the new
books, adopted by the State Text
Book Commission.

EIGHT YEARS USE
PUTSLALlEY LIGHT
IN PROVED CLASS
Reliability of Well Known Electric
Light and PowerPlant Assured
Because of Many Years 1t
Has Been Used

1t is fact, too we'll known to be
questioned, that every piece of mov-
ing machinery must be tested by
owners in every kind of circumstance
before it's absolute reliability is as
sured. The best engineers, with the
biggest reputation with millionsof dol
lars behind them, may design what
appears to be wonderfully fine piece
of machinery, on paper, but when the
ultimate consumer gets hold of it, he
brings out the "bugs" in a manner
the skilled engineer never thought
of.
This is one Of the reasons why Joe
Bender the well known local dealer for
Lalley Light plants, experiences no
difficulty these days in selling them
to progressive farmers. The farmers
of Madison county are discriminating
judges of quality, and they know that
among the thousands Of Lalley Light
plants in daily use, many of them
have been operated from four to eight
years and are giving as good, or better
service today than they did when in
stalled.
Not only in the United States are
Lalley Light plants used-they are
installed by the hundreds in Aus
tralia, New Zealand, South Africa,
in every country Of South America,
in Europe and even in far nothern
Iceland. And they have stood the
test'in all these countries.
It certainly pays, when purchasing
an electric light and power plant, to
get one that has been tried out for
many years, and is giving satisfactory
use in so many different kinds of
climates all over the world, that there
can be no question about its service
ability. ~

MADISON MAN NAMED
ON COMMITTEE
Judge Shackelford Unanimously
Chosen To Represent District
on Resolutions Committee
(By Associated Press)

Louisville, Ky, Sept +Judge
w. R. Shackelford, of Richmond
will represent the Eighth Con-
gressional district on the resolu-
tions committee which will write
the party's platform, at the demo
cratic state platform convention
in session here today.
Judge Shackelford was select;
ed by unanimous vote at the 9th
district convention, which met al
10 o'clock this morning. Charles
F. Montgomery, of Casey county
was chairman of the district con-
vention; Jay Harlan, of Boyle
vice chairman, and Sites Milton
lof Mercer, secretary. Judge
Ralph Gilbert, of Shelbyville
was placed on the organization
committee for the Eighth, and
Frank Ripy, of Anderson county
on credentials.
Democrats from all over Ken
lucky are here by hundreds. Pre-
.dictions are made on all sides that
the splendid ticket headed by
Gov. Black, will win by an old
time majority. No endorsement
of the personal administration OF
ex-Gov. Stanley will be made, ac-
cording to early reports, the state
convention confning itself to en-
dorsement of the legislative acts
which carried out the last plat
form pledges.
Indications are that the federal
suffrage, amendment will be en-
dorsed, since President Wilson
has personally requested it,
though a great many delegates
seem to feel that this is a ques-
ton which should be submitted tn
the poll of the people.
Z Madison county's delegation IS
rather small, consisting of Judge
Shackelford, S. M. Saufley, J. R.
Dunbar, Elmer Deatherage, R. E.
Turley and others, but they are
on the job all the time.
