NO VOTE
THIS YEAR
Commiasion Form of Government
Must Continue in Force Four
Years.

The proposed vote on the question
as to whether or not Hopkinsville
should abandon the commission form
of government and go back to the old
councilmanic form has bee dropped
This action was taken after the coun-
ty' attorney and other lawyers had
thoroughly investigated the law. The
law states that the commission form
OF government must remain in force
for at least four years after it is
adopted before another election can
be held on it.
The attorneys construe the law
to mean that the four years begin
when the commission actually be-
comes operative. This will be four
years in January.
Thus the election could not be
held this year. Those circulating the
petitions for the election claim
much encouragement and support
and say the election will be held as
soon as the law will permit it. !

HARD TO CURE:
MANKIND OF
SUPERSTITION

There seems to be no way of cur
ing the superstitious. Men and wo.
men will contiue to believe in good
and bad luck despite the fact that
their faith has been ill-placed again
and again. Bad luck has been con-
nected with the number "13" ever
since Judas cut the Lords Supper
company down to twelve and betray-
ed his Master. Yet President Wilson
and many others regard "13" as
their lucky number.
Boosters are asked to knock on
wood, yet many who complied with
this counsel, found themselves on a
SICK bed the next day.
Many use horseshoes or carry
charms to ward off disaster but bad
luck seems to come to them just the
same.
thousands of people cannot be
induced to pass under a ladder or to
open an umbrella in the house and
TO enter home in the front way and
leave thru the back door yet thew
cannot recall instances where such
action brought bad luck to them.
You are not taking any chances
when yau take INDU. Thousands in
your neighborhood and in all parts
OF the country can testify to its ben
ehcent results. Buy a bottle now
from your druggist. 1t costs $1.OO
per bottle or bottles for $3.50
everywhere.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION
Mayor Smith Has Excellent Idea For
Soldiers And Sailors Memorial.

Mayor George Theo. Smith has of
fered an excellent suggestion for me-
MORALS to soldiers, sailors and nurses
Of this community. In fact, it one of
the best ideas in that line that we've
noted anywhere.
Instead of a tablet, to be placed in
some public archive, or an arch or 9TH
ec temporary affair, Mr.. Smith sug-
gests that the pillars for the new
white way lighting system on Main
street each carry inscriptions or
bronze plates bearing names of sold
iers, sailors and nurses from this COM
nunity.
City Electrician E. E. Buck has been
studying on Mayor Smiths suggestion
and proposes that the iron standards
be used for this purpose, and has a
practical plan whereby from five to
ten names, with description Of mill
tary service, can be placed upon eacL
standard. AS there are to be twenty
one lamps in all, this plan would ac-
comodate all Of the names of soldiers,
sailors and nurses from not only this
city, but from several of the immedi-
ately adjacent towns.
This idea is being received with en-
thusiasm along the street, and it is
very probable that this plan will be
perfected in the best possible manner
and carried out. If it is the City au-
thorities will be very anxious that no
names are missed, and the public will
be asked to watch the lists which will
be published and note any COMMISSIONS
or needed corrections.

PAVILION IDEA TAKING ROOT
River Falls May Have Municipal
PaviliOn-They're All DOM It

The proposition Of dancing pavil-
ion for River Falls, as mentioned in
these columns couple of weeks ago
is gaining in popularity, and several
favorable and practical suggestions
have been advanced. Mayor George
Theo. Smith and City Clerk F. v. Will
liams report that at the meeting OF
the League of Wisconsin Municipal
tiles at West Allis the dance pavilion
subject was one of the, main topics dis
cussed, and it would seem that most
every town and city represented there
either already had one or was plan
mig to erect a municipal pavilion.
There are several good sites avail
able here, the one now especially fav-
ored being opposite the Journal Office,
north, formerly owned by the Odd Eel
lows.
A properly managed pavilion would
not only be a fine asset to the city, but
would be financial success.
