BOWLING GREEN SOCIETY
WOMAN CALLED SUICIDE
Mrs. Maud Perkins Is Drowned In
River Near Her Home

Bowling Green, KY, May 11.-Al
though the verdict of Coroner John
S. Campbell, Warren county, gives
suicide as the cause of the death of
Mrs. Maud Carroll Perkins, con-
spicuous in Bowling Green society
and club circles, who was drowned
in Barren River late this afternoon
friends say there is no substantial
evidence that Mrs. Perkins took
her life.
Mrs. Perkins who was AZ years
old, and Of happy, genial DISPOSE
ton, was last seen alive walking
toward the river, and an hour later
her body was found in the river
near Thomas Landing, about six
miles west of the city, and one mile
from her home.
The body was found by Alfred
Thurston, a fisherman.
So far as is known Mrs. Perkins
had not expressed herself as de-
spondent, nor given any intimation
that she contemplated self-destruc-
ton.
She was the wife of Joseph c..
Perkins, cigar man, and a daughter
of Frank S. Carroll. Louisville,
where she lived her girlhood years.
Besides. her husband three child
rem survive.
Mrs. Perkins was a member of
the Current Events Club, of the
Ladies, Afternoon Sewing Club and
of Christ church.

THE 90 CENT ROAD TAX
by
(Rodman Wiley)


Commissioner OF Public Roads
The following counties to date
have voted the 20 cent road tax:
Fayette, Shelby, Franklin, Mel
son, Mercer, Pike, Hopkins, Owen
Washington, Grant, Muhlenberg
Henry, Carroll, Fulton, Carlisle
Livingston, Letcher, Martin, Wolfe
Owsley, Estill, McCreary, Butler
Cumberland, Hancock and Perry
A careful examination of the
above list will show that great
many OF the counties that have
voted the tax, have much better
roads than some counties that
have defeated the tax. What is
the reason.
The tax paid by the people of
Kentucky for bad roads is far in
excess of what the tax would be
for good roads.
Perry County perhaps holds the
record as only 70 votes were cast
against the tax in that county.
Every county in Kentucky has
gone over the top in the Liberty
Loan, Red Cross and Y. M. C. A.
drives, now why not 60 over the
top for roads. Let us have good
roads, NOT EVENTUALLY BUT
NOW.

Perth Amboy evening news., 1919-08-23
A C-OMMENDABLE SHOWING

1t speaks well for Perth Amboy merchants that when the
government published a list of prices that were deemed fair at
the present time, the stores of this city were advertising goods
as cheap, and in some instances cheaper, than the prices named
in the official list. OF course, there may be here and there an
isolated case where excessive prices have been charged, but
among the most reliable stores the prices, as advertised in the
EVENING NEWS, have been decidedly reasonable.
1t has always been claimed that Perth Amboy was one of
the cheapest places to Hve. in that could be found. 1t has now
been proven. 1t is no wonder that local stores attract large
numbers of shoppers from all surrounding towns. The shrewd
housewife knows where the pennies can be saved during these
days of high prices.
The blame for the high prices has been plaead more upon
the wholesaler and the big packing houses rather than the re-
tail merchant. The latter, pressed~by high rents, increased
-wages7-6aght, delivery and other expenses, has been keeping
his profits down to a mrdldum. He, being in direct touch with
the public, knows the difficulties of the people in making ends
meet and as a result he has advanced prices only when COM
PEELED to and then only enough to ''get by" On the other hand
the big packers and wholesalers, who never come in contact
with the public, do not feel the pressure, and, as a result, they
have been crowding the market for all that it will bear.
The more this food matter is looked into the more evil
dent it becomes that the place to reduce the cost of living is
with the big fellows who are wallowing in their millions, in
stead of trying to ruin the business of the retailer.
True, the profteer, no matter where he may be found,
should be hunted out and given his deserts, but it is apparent,
since the government "fair' prices have been published, that
the profiteers are not to be found among the retailers, as far
as Perth Amboy is concerned, anyway.
