MT STERLING, KENTUCKY. TUESDAY. MAY 25 1922
WHAT THE BOND ISSUE MEANS!

It means will get the road constructed from the
Clark to the Bath county line for the cost of
eminent.
1t means will be able to build the road from the
Bourbon to the Menefee county line.
1t means that all moneys heretofore expended on
these two roads will be available for the other roads of
the county thereby assuring better roads every part
of the county.
All moneys thus advanced to the State by the County
in these two projects will be refunded to the county and
all we will be out will be the interest the bonds.
According to the State Road Department all of the
projects will be completed by the State alone within 10
to Is years and with the county lending assistance it
more than likely that these two projects will be among
the first completed.
Do YOU think Montgomery County will ever have
chance to two main thoroughfares at less ex
pense?
Can you realize what these two great projects will
mean to Mt. Sterling and Montgomery County?

Get Together Tourists
Storm City Yesterday

Nearly one hundred and fifty of
Lexington's leading business and
professional men took the city by
storm yesterday, arriving in automo-
biles, only a few minutes behind the
time scheduled for their arrival, They
were accompanied by a Lexington
band, who gave a splendid concert
in the Courthouse yard. A large
crowd was on hand to greet the Wis
itors, and the city schools were dis
missed for an hour that the school,
children might attend the meeting.
John G. VIM turned over the keys
Of the city and made the speech of
welcome, which was responded to by
Frank Jones, president of the Lex
ington Chamber of Commerce, who in
turn introduced Wood Dunlap, one
of Lexington's Commissioners. Mr..
Dunlap, in his speech, paid a glowing
tribute to Montgomery county and
her people. The closing address was
made by President Frank L. McVey,
of State University.
Many laughable stunts were pulled
off that caused much merriment in
the crowd. w. L. Clarke, editor of the
Lexington Herald's Sample Case, and
Prof. Haberstro, one of Lexington's
leading musicians, were wearing the
uniform of the Lexington police. The
arrest of these two gentlemen was
ordered on a charge of "impersonat-
ing an officer 'and Chief of Po-
lice Upton placed them in the city
Jail where they spent few uncom-
Portable moments before being res-
cued by their friends.
The visitors were entertained for
lunch at Lloyd's Cafe, leaving at
noon for Sharpsburg and Carlisle.
The object of the tour is to pro-
mote the feeling OF good fellowship
among the towns of the Blue Grass
and the occasion was one of the hap
piest that has taken place here in
long while.

Delay in Bond Issue
Would be Costly

This week we shall only refer in
passing to the fact that there are
many things being urged and claim
ed in opposition to the proposed bond
issue that are not so, and in due
course we shall take them up and
answer them.
AT this writing The Advocate has
not been advised that any steps have
been taken to have hearing on the
restraining order in the Injunction
proceedings seeking to prevent the
bond issue from coming to a vote.
The Advocate has been assured by
Judge Senff, however, that a motion
to dissolve the restraining order
would speedily be made. The adj
vocates of good roads have been
content to allow the matter to proceed
in regular order, confident that JUS
tice will be done. Should any mis-
chance result in delaying the vote on
the bond issue unduly and thereby
cause Montgomery county to reach
the new State Highway Commission
after the states available funds had
been tied up for some time in the fu-
ture to projects in other counties,
it would be a costly matter to the
taxpayers of Montgomery. They
would then be forced to use Of the
county's own funds in expensive tenn
porarv repairs on the two main high
ways under consideration, the ne
cessity for which was so emphatical-
ly pointed out in the statement re-
Gently issued and signed by the entire
Fiscal Court. This would Of course
result in higher taxes, with nothing
to show for it. 1t is a possibility to
be avoided. 1t would he regretted by
those now opposing the bond issue
when they come to learn the real
facts no less than by those who
favor it. And, by the way, by no
means all of those in whose names the
injunction proceedings are being
prosecuted, are committed against
the bond issue. If the facts are az
have been set forth by The Advocate,
one of them will vote for the pro-
posed issue. Another frankly declares
he has an open mind on the sub
iect.

Knights Templar
To Meet Here in III

The State meeting of the Knights
Templars will be held in Mt. Ster-
ling next year. This was definitely
decided at Lexington last week after
fight between this city and Crab
Orchard Springs. Before inviting the
Templars here partial canvas of
the city was made, which showed
conclusively that the homes of the
city would be thrown wide open to
the Shriners and everything possible
done to assure them royal time
while in our midst. Meals will be
served by the various women's clubs
of the city and county and no stone
will be left unturned to make their
stay in Mt. Sterling a most enjoyable

Mt. Sterling Wins
Exciting Game

The best exhibition of ball playing
seen on local diamond in years was
seen Sunday afternoon when the Mt.
Sterling team defeated the strong
team from Versailles by the score Of
4 to 3 in 10-inning affair. In the
early innings the Versailles boys
looked like sure winners, having ac-
cumulated 8 scores in the fifth and
seventh innings and their pitcher was
working like clock. However, in the
seventh something broke loose, and
with one on base Wells, Mt. Sterling's
star twirler, hit One to deep center
for home run. In the eighth Skid
more got to first on an error, stole
second, was sacrificed to third and
came home with the tieing run on a
wild throw. In the ninth Mt. Sterling
got a man to third, but was unable
to score. The visitors were held safe
in the 10th, but not so with the To-
calls. Powers, the first man up, got a
clean hit over short, as did also
Shanklin. Skidmore was safe on a
fielder's choice, filling the bases with
nobody out. Hopkins, the next man
up, hit the ball square on the nose to
deep center bringing in the winning
run. The game was one of the most
interesting ever seen on a local lot,
and there was large crowd present.
Both pitchers showed excellent form
and were accorded rare support.
The strong Irvine team, which de-
feated the Lexington Reserves Sun
day by the score of 16 to 5, will he
the attraction next Sunday. and an
other rafting good game is looked
for

Disciples Fund Is
Close to $4,000

Lexington, KY, May 22.-Although
reports have not been received from
half the churches which are assisting
in the campaign for the funds needed
by the educational and missionary
interests of the Disciples of Christ,
which began May 9 in some of the
districts of the State, and May 16 in
others, and which has not yet started,
! in still other sections of Kentucky,
the total reported to headquarters in
the First. and City National Bank
Building Saturday was close to $140,-
900, the First Christian church, of
Louisville, leading with $4,000.
The goal set for Kentucky is ST.
100000, if the aims of the educa-
tional institutions and the United So
ciety of the Disciples are to be ac-
complished and State Campaign Di-
rectOrs Joseph W. Hagin and Homer
w. Carpenter are confident that the
churches of the denomination will
furnish the funds declared necessary
to carry on the work, a part of which
is to go toward paying increased sal
aries for the professors and teachers
in the Christian colleges.
Reports from the churches as given
out Saturday afternoon include also
the gift of Pennsylvania, the College
of the Bible and Hamilton College,
which totals $13,230. The amount of
Central Christian church, Lexington,
is $14,660, and DR., I. J. Spencer, its
pastor, said it would be subscribed.

to Saturday, their ministers and the
amounts raised by them for the Ken

Utterly impossible.

Colorado last fall. l stood on the
brink of that mighty Chasm in easy
converse with Albert, the king of the
Belgians.

been to drive the German army into"
I remarked, with that disregard for
precise diction that comes in casual
talk.
The king looked appraisingly out
over the vast cleft, and down into its
dizzy depths and with that regal dig
nifty that so becomes him, and those
impressive pauses between his words
that marks his speech in English, re-
piled gravely, after he had fully sur
veyed the situation:
But, my dear sir, that was quite
impossible. There was no German
army here, you know samuel G.

ASPIRIN INTRODUCED
BY "BAYER" IN 1900
Look for name "Bayer" on the tablets
then you need never
worry.

If you want the true, world-famous
Aspirin, as prescribed by physicians
for over eighteen years, you must ask
for "Bayer Tablets of Aspirin"
The 'Bayer Cross" is stamped on
each tablet and appears on each pack
age for your protection against imi-
tations.
In each package of "Bayer Tablets
of Aspirin" are safe and proper direc-
tons for Colds, Headache, Neuralgia,
Toothache, Earache, rheumatism,
Lumbago, Neuritis, and for Pain in
general.
Handy tin boxes containing 10 tablets
cost but a few cents. Druggists also
sell larger "Bayer" packages. Aspirin

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp-Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, you
may receive sample size bottle by Parcel
Post. You can purchase medium and
large size bottles at all drug stores.-Adv.

KIDDING HOUSES OF VERMIN
Outline of Method Recommended by
Poultry Specialists of Depart
ment of Agriculture.

The following method of Kidding
the weather conditions are such as to
permit Of the birds being kept outside
the house for five or six hours, is rec
commended by poultry specialists in
the United States department of agri-
culture.
Close all the doors and windows
and see that there are no cracks or
any other openings to admit air. Set
an iron vessel on gravel or sand near
the center of the house. Place in the
vessel handful of shavings or straw
saturated with kerosene and on these
sprinkle sulphur at the rate of about
one pound to every 90 or 100 square
feet of floor space. Instead of using
the shavings and kerosene, the sulphur
may be saturated with wood alcohol.
When everything else Is in readi-
ness, light the material and hastily
leave the house. In case any anxiety
Is felt about fire, a glance through a
window will show whether everything
is all right. There is very little dan
ger Of fire when proper precautions
have been taken to have plenty of soil
beneath the vessel. After three or
four hours, throw all the doors and
the windows wide open TO drive out
the sulphur fumes thoroughly. Then
let the fowls in one by one. AS each en-
ters, catch it and dust it we'll with in
sect powder, which will destroy the
lice on the birds. Tobacco dust Is
also good to use instead of insect
powder.
The birds and house have now been
freed from vermin for the present, but
the eggs of the insects have not been
destroyed, and in a week another
swarm will be Matched out. There

GIVE GROWING CHICKS MILK
Should Be Kept Before Them in
Open Dish or Pan.

Nothing is better for growing chicks
than liberal supply of sour milk. If
it can be obtained 1t always should be
kept before them in an open dish or
pan where they can eat and drink it
freely. Where sour milk is fed, the
amount Of beef scrap in the dry mash
may be reduced one-half.
Plenty of fresh, clean water Is abso-
lutely necessary for all growing chicks.
In hot weather 1t should be given twice
daily and put into fountains or dishes
and placed in the shade so as to keep
as cool as possible. Clean the water
dish thoroughly each day before fill

older brother as he came home from
where he was working downtown and
told my father and mother what I've
had done-enlisted in the local militia
company. My mother didn't say any
thing. She went back to the kitchen
and pretended that something was
keeping her very busy, but my father
crossed TO the closet where he kept
his Civil war elcs-his discharge pa
pers, his badges, dagger taken from
a Confederate foe. l wonder how the
people who have since moved in AMI

1t wasn't much of war, but along
in July they started 20 ship some Of
the boys in those thick, hot uniforms
back from Chickamauga. They
shipped them back on cots, and when
they lifted them off the train they
were such skeletons we hardly recog-
nized them. At least half had typhoid
fever before the last of them, drib-
bling home by handfuls, had returned.
Six of them died. The insanitary
camp had proven as disastrous as any
enemy bullets. Our boys brave as
the bravest," were unprepared for the
strenuOusnesS Of war.
My brother didn't come back on a
cot, but he came back with the color
gone for good from his cheeks, and
where it had been easy for him to
laugh before he now made unsucceSs-
full attempts. And yet he came back
accomplishing. He sat around the
house for a day or two. | remember
the nights were beginning to get cool
right after school, the tomato vines
had already been frosted, and the yard
was Uttered with fallen maple leaves.
Then he went about it to pick up the
threads Of life where they had been
broken. Mono country could lick
the United States. History had re-
peated.
And the years passed. remember

Decoration day. The old place had
run down a good deal and things had
changed; I noticed the gray hair on
fathers head when he came in from
