NUMBER 10
WORK COULD BE
VERY EASILY DONE

There are now more than seven
million Baptists in the United
States, according to statistics COM
piled by the Baptist 10 Million Cam
paign, including those of all types
and colors. OF this number 4.2S5.416
are in white Missionary Baptist
churches.
The income of these white Baptists
is $3,OOO,OOO,OOO per year, it has
been estimated, and if only ten per
cent. of this income were given to the
service of God it would produce a
sum of $3OO,OOO,OOO, or four times
what is being sought for five years in
the present campaign.
And if only fifty-seven per cent,
of this $3OO,OOO,OO0 were given to
missions, this being the percentage
of the proceeds of the rs Million
Campaign that will be devoted to
missions-this would make available
for missions alone the sum of $171,-
100000 year, or enough money to
provide $4,000 at a salary of 3d.
600 per year, or one missionary for
every 11,6S1 unsaved people in the
world.
Thus it is urged by the campaign
leaders that if the Baptists of the
United States should give to the ex-
tent of their ability to the spread of
the gospel, they alone, without any
assistance from any other denomi-
could within the next five
years carry the gospel to every man,
woman and child in the world who
has not heard it already.

NORMAN BROWN MARRIED

Norman Drake Brown and Miss
Kathryn Lynch, of Nicholasville,
were married last Wednesday at the
Catholic parsonage in that city by
Rev. William O'ETar b. Immediately
after the ceremony the couple left
for Louisville, where they we're en-
tertained at dinner at the Seelbach
by the brides brother, John Lynch,
of Louisville. They will make their
future home in Nicholasville. The
above announcement will cause much
surprise to the many friends of Mr.
Brown in this city, who will join us
in extending hearty congratulations.
The groom is a native of this city,
but had resided in Georgetown for
the past several years, having only
recently left that place. His bride
is said to be a most charming young
woman, well worthy to become the
help-mate of this popular former To-
cal how.

WILL REPAIR ANY MAKE

In making the announcement OF
our new equipment and policy for
the repair of Ford cars in this paper
we fear we may leave the impress
sion with some of our friends own
ing other cars that we are not inter-
ested in them. So we want to tell
them that we appreciate very much
.the business they have given us, that
we shall continue for the present to
handle tires and accessories for all
cars, and to do a limited amount of
repair work on these other cars. So,
no matter who made or sold 1T, if we
accept car to be repaired it will be
finished in the best way we are able
to do it.-Strother Motors Company.

BILLY THE KID,
ALIAS BILLY BURKE

William Burke, alias Billy Burke,
alias Billie Irvine, alias Billy the
Kid, died in sanitarium in Detroit,
Michigan, October 25th.
It was circus day of John Rob-
inson, and during a street parade
that Billy the Kid stole an amount
of money from the teller of the
Traders Deposit Bank and was max
ing his escape through window
when detected by Cashier w. W.
Thompson. Mr.. Thompson, assisted
by other bank officials, landed Billy
the Kid i'm Jail and later in the peni-
tertiary for period of years. Billie's
accomplice was Sophy Lyons, and it
was she who used every effort at her
command to save Billy from wear
ing stripes. There is a story that
goes this way. "Billy" served his
time and both he and Sophy Lyons
Joined hands and hearts, became con-
verted to the Christian religion, went
to California, engaged in commercial
pursuits, made quite fortune, gave
literally to charitable objects, at one
time 100000, and were making good
citizens in a surrounding where past
offences were UNI known. Billy Burke
is survived by his wife, Sophy Lyons.
The Detroit paper speaks of him as
follows:
civilian Burke, known to the po-
lice of nearly every capital of the
world as 'Billy Burke" died in a
local sanatorium this morning, De-
tober 25th.
"Burke first came to the attention
of the police in 1882, when he was
convicted of connection with the
theft of $4,000 from a bank mes
senger in Cohoes, N. Y, serving
five-year sentence. Robbery of
bank messenger of Switzerland of
$4,000; theft of $4,000 from a bank

POSITION IN THE
PERIOD OF REIMBURSEMENT

"Public service companies occupy
an extraordinary position in the
period of readjustment," the Ken
lucky Committee on Public Utility
Information points out. "While their
expenses have increased tremendous
ly in the same proportion as other
lines of business, the rates they
charge for their services are fixed.
They cannot arbitrarily increase
prices, as has the business. man, to
meet the unusual situation. They are
denied the recourse open to mer-
chant whose business does not pros
per, for they cannot pack up and
move. They must continue to at
tempt to serve the public, regardless
of the fact that the service is being
rendered at less than cost, and trust
TO the ultimate fairness of the peo-
pie to enable them to get back to
a sound basis. ADV. sac

MT. STERLING, KENTUCKY TUESDAY NOVEMBER a. 1919
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Due to the greatly increased bust
ness in Ford cars and Tractors The
Strother Motors Company is busy
making extensive changes in its
buildings and methods of doing bust
ness. In order TO meet the 1enand
for the best repair service on the
rapidly increasing number IT Ford
cars in its territory it is increasing
its parts stock room to twice its
present size. The repair shop is be-
ing moved to be closer to this parts
stock and lis being greatly enlarged.
Every time and material saving tool
used in the repair of Ford cars any
where is being installed in this new
repair shop. This company is
Strengthening crankshafts, connect
ing rods and such parts, saving own
ers many dollars each month. The
machine for fitting bearings requires
a ten-horse- power electric motor to
operate and gives a bearing just
twice the surface for wear of hand
scraped bearing.
When the plans for this enlarge
ment were completed it was found
that there would be no space for
storage cars, so, beginning December
LIST Strother Motors Company will
close their storage department, leav-
ing the energies of the officials and
of each employee concentrated on the
sale or repair of Ford cars. The con-
tract system of repairing cars, by
which the owner knows in advance
just what labor charge will be made
on his car, has proved very popular
and will be continued and extended to
cover every possible operation on
Ford car.

BAPTIST CAMPAIGN
COMES VERY CHEAPLY

Expense in raising the SIS, 900, 900
sought by the Baptists of the South
in their $75,OOO,OOO Campaign will
amount to considerably less than one
per cent, DIR. L. II. SCARBOROUGH,
general director, announces. This in
cludes the expense of both the gem
eral headquarters and the eighteen
state headquarters. This is probably
the lowest overhead expense in the
history of large money-raislng eff
forts in this country.

of 40 or so per cent because of the
small supply.
Local rains have. been responsible
recently for q swelling of the river
below the dam. So much alluvium
has been carried along that the char

a large amount of silt is being de.

silt in the Rio Grande settled in the
lake before reaching the irrigation
area. Only local rains produce the
