Travelling Public Imposed Upon

The travelling public AZ Clay
City has been greatly imposed
upon by tbose persons In control
OF the railroad AFFAIRS who have
provided for the closing Of the
depot here before the train going
east in the evening arrives. This
means that you cannot buy
ticket for this train at time Of
departure and that you must re-
main outside waiting for the train
far into the night in the dark
when it happens to be so late.
There is no excuse for this other
than merely to save the expense
of time of the agent, Mr.. Voll-
mer, IN keeping the depot open
until the train arrives.
The Times has all along favor.

The people of this town surely
will not tamely submit to this
unjust treatment. A petition
should be presented to the au-
thorities asking change back Co
former conditions. Failing TO
get what is justly due us there,
we should bring an action before
the Railroad Commission at
Frankfort, in order to get mat
tiers righted.

ed as rapidly as teams and labor
obtainable can do the work. The
force at work is very small, but
there is promises that better
day for road work is coming
when farmers can get their corn
planted, aud much better op-
portunity to push the work when
crops are laid by in July, about
six weeks hence. A car of ce-
ment has been received this week
to finish the work on the Brush
creek bridge.
Ii. ii, Yount, of Morehead, has

ContendIng that the oil pro-
duc:ion tax, which was made a
law at the special session of the
Legislature in 1917, a bill intro
duced by our Representative, K.
B. McGlone, took the place of
all tax on oil properties, w. S.
Raydure, a millionaire oil oper.
ator, of Bowling Green, o., and
holding millions of oil property
in Estill county, in the spring of
1913 resisted the payment of any
tax on undeveloped leases, as
serting that the oil production
tax covered it all.
Notwithstanding the fact that
his case was very ably handled
through the courts by Pendleton
x Bush, and Judge Ed. @. o.
Rear, corporation LAWYERS of
State reputation, the Court of
Appeals held that the oil produc-
tion taxs was a license tax only,
which was levied in addition to
any ad yalorem tax.
Armed with this decision, State
revenue men are going after the
omitted ad valorem tax, and they
have begun first on Raydure,
who sought in the beginning to
eyade any sd valorem tax at all
on undeveloped rights. A suit
was brought and tried in Judge
Noland's court in Estill county
against Raydure for omitting
tax aggregating thousands. Judge
Noland has not handed down a
decision ia the case at this time.

SHOPPING" IN VERMONT
(By Daniel l.. Cady)

The hardest work in all the year
Before the horseless car was here,
Was htchng up your Goldsmith Maid
And driving into town to trade:
You hurried up your wife to start,
At noon you only had tart,
You hurried round from store to store
And then was gone till after four.
That tub OF butter in behind
Was first and foremost on your mind;
You felt that merchant Hood would say,
'1d like "A special tub to-day;
That last you fetched turned out so good
took some home to Mrs. Hood"
This pleasant speech so oft you've heard
Your wife can tell 1t word for word
The Mrs gets some starch at Hoods
And tea-it's simply swapping goods
And then she says polite but plain.
I'D like a new all wool delaine;"
'All right" you sigh, and 'crost you 60
To Cox's in the block below.
You always like to trade with Cox
For he attends the orthodox.
1t takes an age to make that trade.
The cambria, buttons. thread and braid
But Mrs. Smiles so sweet you say,
Auu OH an aiapacca, May,
"Oh! no. says she, both Roy and Rose
viii soon be needing winter clothes,
And John, we'd better hasten slow,
You lost cow not long ago"
Then next yourself and Mrs. stop
At Durkee's little druggists shop
For hemlock essence. camphor gum,
And something that will help your
thumb;
That needle, too, you always buy
For poor Aunt Kate, a-kinder sly,
Some bureau stain, a little can,
And hair oil for the hired man.
You have hodback strap to mend
Your wife Il card to write and send,
You'd like to pay that printer. Mills,
For them there oyster supper bills.
Your wife would like to see Miss Fitch
And get that new embroidery stitch,
And so you separate an hour
To double up on errant power.
At length you hear each other cough
And meet beside the watering trough:
Your wagon, jest acrost the road
Sustains Il twenty mule-team load;
You both climb in and settle down.
| Too tired to stir. too faint to frown;
GO long you say, Go long old mare
Jest take us home or anywhere"

REPLIES MADE TO
GERMAN PROTESTS
Council of Four Answers Enemy's
Notes on Prisoners and
Labor Subjects

Paris, May 4.-The answers of the
Council of Four to the German notes on
prisoners of war and labor subjects were
delivered this afternoon.
one of the later German notes. deal
ing with economic clauses of the treaty,
declares that they mean the ruin of Ger
many IL they are enforced.
a note on territorial questions protests
particularly against the Sarre valley ar
rangement and the transfer of the NAL
NEEDY Moresnet and Eupen districts to
Belgium, as well as the forced evacua-
ton Of a part of Schleswg.
A note on reparations does not prote st
against the payment by Germany for the
devastation wrought in Belgium and
northern France, which it says Germany
is ready to do willingly. 1t is added,
however. that Germany will not pay
reparation for this damage on the prin-
ciplc that it was responsible for the war.
The note on the question of prisoners
says:
THE German peace delegation notes
with satisfaction that the project rec
oEnizes the principle of the return of
prisoners of war and civilians with the
least possible delay. The delegation
deems that all the details of the exc
submitted to IA special commission.
Direct oral discussions between the
commission and nearly all the belliger-
ents concerning prisoners of war have
been considered even during hostilities
as the surest means of solving the diff >
culties. 1t ought to-day to be all the
easier to reconcile the different view
points and clear up certain obscurities
still existing on certain details of the
problem.
For instance, as result of the
diversity Of the viewpoint of the law
in the different countries interested,
the German delegation considers it in
dispensable that prisoners of war and
the civilians undergoing penalties for
other attractions than those of dis
cipline should be in a group that ought
to be repatriated Internationally. Ger
many has recognized this principle re-
garding prisoners of war and civil
ians of the allied and associated DOW
ers in its custody.

SALVATION ARMY APPEALS TO
FORMER SERVICE MEN

The Salvation Army appeals to all dis
charged soldiers and sailors to form
organizations in the following towns for
the home service fund campaign of the
Salvation Army from May 1926 1919
The Salvation Army believes that there
are former service men in every one of
these towns and villages who have
known of its work abroad and at home
and who will willingly form IA small local
committee to give all an opportunity to
help the army on its thirteen million
dollar drive.
The way to organize town is for the
former service men to get together. elect
one of their number chairman, and then
select treasurer, preferably banker.
or if that is not possible, then a business
man. who will take charge of all con-
tributions of money and pledges, and
forward same to the New England pro-
vincial headquarters of the Salvation
Army at Boston. Mass.
AS soon as the chairman and treasurer
have been selected the chairman should
at once communicate with n. b. Critten-
den, State organizer, New Sherwood
Hotel Burlington, VT. who will forward
publicity material, pledge cards, etc, for
the campaign.
