AHEAD
TO CELEBRATION
RETURNED SOLDIERS ARE TO.
BE GIVEN A BIG BLOWOUT
OF SOME TIME.

Excitement.
oRAToRY STUFF IN DIsFAvoR

It has been at last definitely de-
cided that the returned soldiers of
Christian county are to be given a
fitting celebration, although as yet
no definite engagements have been
made as to what kind of celebra-
ton it will be. In fact, there will
be two celebrations, one for the white
men and one for the colored men.
The expenses are to paid by the Red
Cross which, will make all arrage-
ments.
The "boys" Of our county have
been wondering for some time past
what kind Of an occasion Christian
county's celebration would be. 1t
was the consensus of opinion among
most of the boys that the people
would express their appreciation of
the deeds which Christian county's
boys did in the war with great dis
play Of oratory and the like, as has
been elsewhere and the boys felt
disappointed. For the boys, be it
known do not want hot air celebra-
lions. They had enough of that
while in the army. Let us do some
thing for them that they will enjoy.
The thing they want and the thing
they will appreciate most would be
a barbecue or picnic without any big
speeches, but with an athletic tourna-
ment for men, baseball game, a po-
tato race, relay race and the like
with small trophies offered for the
winners. That would be something
which the ex-soldiers would enjoy.
They say "Let the politicians and or
ators do their worst on the Fourth
of July but give, us something else
on our day." Let's give them what
they want.

GLORIOUS nth
YESTERDAY
FIRST ONE SINCE PEACE MADE
NOTABLE BY GENERAL
HOLIDAY
NEARLY ALL STORES CLOSED
Fireworks and orasOry Were Not
Much in Evidence In the
City.
NEARLY ALL STORES CLOSED

Yesterday was the Fourth of July.
Perhaps never before in the history
of our country has the GLORIOUS
Fourth" meant so much to the peo-
pie Of America as it does today. Our
nation has been plunged into a great
and bloody war for the ideals for
which the Fourth stands and we have
come forth victorious. Our naughty
enemies have been humbled and the
treaty of peace has been signed. Our
boys have come home or are on the
way home and celebrations through
out the entire nation, this year were
celebrations of joy. Celebrations
that showed that we Americans are
glad that we were living in this age
of acts and yet it was a day of thanks
giving that our ideals and our stand
ards Of right and honor had emerged
from the test unscathed.
The old-time speakings and fire.
WORKS were not so much IN evidence /;
the tone Of the celebrations were
more serious. The real old-fashioned
barbecues and picnics, the most en-
joyable hayrides and small gatherings
were very much in evidence.
In almost every part of the county
work ceased and the day was given
up to the memory Of what the Fourth
stands for. Here in town all the
stores and even the garages were
closed. Those car owners who were
unlucky enough to have breakdowns
had to do their own repair work as
no place in HOpkinsville was open to
do the work for them. Taken as a
whole it was very safe and sane
Fourth of July.

GOOD HEADWAY
BEING MADE
On New Dormitory At Bethel And
Faculty To Be Announced
Soon.

Work is going ahead rapidly on
the new dormitory at Bethel College.
The wall are now up to the 1st floor,
over the 12-foot basement story.
The building committee to over
haul the main building has outlined
its work with an appropriation of
$4,000 to spend. Trustees G. H.
Stowe and c. w. CARROT are on this
committee with the chairman of the
board acting with them in place of
Dr.. T. w. Blakey, who has resigned
from the board. The committee has
decided to put hardwood floors and
stationary washstands in all the bed
rooms of the old building, install
home more bathrooms and do all
needed repair work in plastering,
painting and papering,
The laboratory and library equip
ment will also be given special atten-
ton.
Two other additions to the faculty
have been made this week. Miss Ed
ma Gum, of Nashville is to return

BIG CROWD
AT PARK
Free Band Concert Wednesday Night
Enjoyed BY Great ThrOng
OF Music Lovers.

Wednesday night was ideal The
sky was clear and just enough breeze
was stirring to make one enjoy a
walk in the open rather than endure
the heat Of the front porch. Ac-
cordingly several hundred people
were at Virginia Park early in the
evening. The band concert had been
moved up from Thursday night to
allow the band to fill an out-of-town
engagement. A new platform over
the walk in front of the pavilion had
been built during the week and each
musician was in plain sight of every
one in the crowd. 1t seemed to bring
the music nearer and make every
thing better than the old arrange
ment.
Society was out in force and there
was noticeable absence of the noise
which heretofore had, marred these
entertainments. Everybody came to
enjoy the music and everybody was
rewarded. Many elections of va
ried degree of "jazziness" were rem
dered and no matter what your
taste in the musical line might have
been you had it satisfied. Perhaps
the selection which brought the most
applause was Beautiful Ohio" for
its dreamy strains seemed to blend
with the beauty of the July night.
Even after the last selection had
been rendered the throngs still ling
cred in til Ea;k enjoying the even
ing. Truly EoGkinsville is to be con-
graduated for having beauty spot
like Virginia Park and band like
Lebkuecher's Band.

NEW YORK Mobiles EVERY
MAN OF ITS FORCE OF H.
900 POLICE
SENT TO PITTSBURC
Reported That Large Amounts Of
Explosives Have Been Stolen
In Last Few Days.
SENT TO PITTsBURG

New York, July 4.-Every man Of
the New York police force and de-
tective force, more than 1900 in
number, was modified last night to
remain on continuous duty until Sat
urday morning as a precaution
against another possible attempt by
anarchists to inaugurate reign Of
terror on independence day. Special
guards were thrown about the city's
public buildings and the homes Of cit
liens who, because of their wealth
or prominence in efforts to stamp out
radicaIism, might be targets of the
terrorists.
AS an additional precaution plans
were perfected for the rapid mobili-
zation of the city regiments Of the
state guard in the event Of any wide
spread disturbance which might
prove more than the police could
handle.
The initial steps in the elaborate
program for the protection of the
city were taken early today when.
squads of uniformed and plain
clothes officers were detailed as
guards for the city hall, the sub
treasury, the criminal courts build
ing, St. Patrick's cathedral and sew
eral other important public buildings
and churches.
At the same time guards were
sent to some of the famous private
residences on Fifth avenue, including
those of the former Senator Clark,
Of Montana, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Henry C. Frick, Andrew Carnegie
and M. Finley j. Shepard. Addition
al guards were sent tonight to the
railroad stations and ferries in an
effort to prevent anarchists from out
side points coming to the city.
Anarehists Being Watched.
Washington, July 4.-Every law
enforcing agency in the country win
cooperate tomorrow in preserving
order against reported plans of an
archists and other radicals to create
reign of terror by bomb explosions.
Officials Of the department of jus
tice have said that they knew of no
concerted plot set for independence
day but no chances are being taken.
The bureau of investigation has en-
listed the police of all large cities in
their purpose to put an end to Grim
inal agitation. The plans have not
been divulged, but it is known that
many suspected persons have been
under surveillance and that they will
be arrested on the leafs suspicious
move.
Adequate precautions have been
taken for the protection of public
officials, but the nature of the safe
guards necessarily have been kept
secret.

CLOTHING THE WORLD.

From the time a piece of leather
reaches a factory until the shoes are
finished and ready to be worn, the
labor cost on single pair of welt,
lace shoes is thirty-six cents. The
United States Department of Labor
has published these figures in a Bull
letin Number 1922. This thirty-six
cents includes the wages of the fire.
man, the bookkeeper, the Waterman
and the superintendent, as well as the
wages of those who handle the pro-
duct directly. The total amount of
labor time necessary to make the
pair of shoes is Sc minutes.
The figures, based on 1916 studies
in a number of well-organized fac
tories, show how easily human wants
may be satisfied by means of the ma
chine. The labor cost on a pair of
shoes is thirty-six cents; the labor
time is eighty-six minutes!
Suppose that we were producing
shoes for use, and not for profit.
Imagine world in which shoes were
made to protect peoples feet. 1t
would be possible for one man,
working three hours a day to make at
least two pairs of shoes every day he
worked. Grant equal efficiency in all
of the other industries, and the work
ers, on a three-hour day, could create
enough wealth to feed, clothe and
house themselves. In six-hour day
they could create all of the comforts
of life and many of its luxuries.
Workers! The world is yours. You
have made it. Each day you re-
create it, How long will it be before
you make yourselves masters in your
own house?

Push Cultivation of Corn and
Cotton.


Push the cultivation of both corn
and cotton without delay. Do your
work thoroughly, Cultivate after
each rain as soon as the soil is in
condition to work. The grass and
weeds must be controlled because
they hinder the growth of the plants
by utilizing the fertility needed for
the crop. Stirring the soil warns it
up more equally by permitting the
circulation of the air which is also
necessary for the roots.
Make Plans for Spring Calves.
Before the end of June all plans
should be made for spring calves.
March calves are better than April
calves, because they will be better
able to combat the hot weather and
flies. Close the breeding season for
spring calves not later than June 80
/ For Best Results With Pigs.
Best results in hog growing are
going to be obtained by pushing the
pig to the greatest possible extent
from the time he is born until he is
driven over the scales. Never let the
hog lose his pig fat; keep it going
forward all the time. Proper feeding
and care is the only way this can be
successfully accomplished.
How to Destroy Flies.
Twenty drops of carbolic acid on
hot shovel will destroy the flies in al
ordinary room. Burning pyrethun
powder in the room will Supply the
flies so that they may be swept VI
and burned.
Cows of Quality.
High-grade dairy cattle which
have been shipped into the state il
the past year are attracting the at
tention to the fact that all cows ar,
not alike and that with the presen
price of feed and labor there is bu
enc choice to make and that is tina
only good cows must be kept. Onl.

CULTIVATE ORCHARDS.

Most practical orchardists agree
that fruit trees should be given regu-
lar cultivation until they reach bear
ing age.
It is the opinion, generally, that
growing vegetables and small crops,
between rows of young trees will do
no harm, provided fertilizers and
manure are used to keep up the
fertility.
Peanuts is one good crop to grow
in young orchards. The vines add
nitrogen and humus to the land and
the nuts can be fed to hogs if sold
for cash. Corn, cotton, sudan grass.
and other rank growing crops are un-
suited for orchard cultivation.
