BIG WORK BEFORE
COMMISSIONER BQCCS
Everyone Pulling" For Him To
Be Retained At Head of State
Road Department

Richmond's own State Road Com
missioner Joe S. Boggs, who has done
such fine work as heard of the state
Road Department during the time he
has been at its head that all are hop
ing Gov. Morrow's non-partisan Road
Commission will retain him in the
place he has filled so well-has a big
program of road construction before
him in Kentucky already mapped out
for this year.
All but $340,297.5 Of available Fed
eral aid money for the current fiscal
year has been "tied up" in projects, al
ready accepted, and Commissioner
Boggs is satisfied that before June 80,
the last day, approved Federal Aid
projects in Kentucky will far exceed
the States apportionment for the
year-s1, ,221 ,968.44. By September,
it is anticipated all of the 1921-1922
Federal aid funds will be "cinched"
These amount to something like ST.
100000.
The 200 miles Of River Road and
the Mayo Trail up Sandy Valley, ap-
proXinlateIy the same length, for
which bonds have been voted will
make deep cut into Federal aid
projects in the course of preparation
and there are several less ambitious.
Work now under construction or
contract and projects approved will
add so per cent to mileage of paved
roads in the State and projects prac-
tlcally ready for letting will more
than double it. In other words this
this year will see as much permanent
construction in Kentucky as all prev
ious years Of its history. Not more
than eighty miles of Kentucky's roads
are paved.
ed.
There are now under contract for
brick Kentucky rock asphalt or con-
crete forty-three miles and fifty-two
miles more will be let this summer.
This does not include the Big Sandy
project large part of which will be
permanent surface type of construc-
ton.
Another good omen is the state
ment of Commissioner Boggs that
contractors are bidding in large num-
bers on Federal aid work. On the last
contract let there were nine bidders.
The lowest satisfactory bid gets the
work and the money has to be put up
before a Federal aid contract is let.
Projects settled most of them under
way include thirty-nine miles of Mid
land Trail; eleven Eastern Dixie High
way; three, Western Dixie Highway
and seven Kentenva Road, from Win
chester to Virginia line Soon to be
let are eleven miles of the Eastern
Dixie and River Road, fifteen Dixie
Bee Line, Western Kentucky.

TWO-DAY OPENING
WAS HUGE SUCCESS
Richmond WeIch Co. Presents
Popular Innovation Without
Precedent In the County

The Richmond Welch Co., has just
concluded the second and last day
of their wonderful opening. This
event will long be remembered by
Richmond and Madison county as it
was the biggest thing ever attempted
in our county and to say that it was a
wonderful success would not begin to
express it.
This good firm came to our city
only a few months ago, and have es-
tablished themselves as being most
progressive organization and a County
Builder.
A conservative estimate of five
thousand people passed in and out of
their doors on Monday, each wearing
beautiful flower and feather in the
cap. The store, which needs NO
decoration other than its real every
day appearance is without question
the most up-to-date; the most ccm-
plete and the best looking Hardware
Store in the State of Kentucky; and
to say this is not home boosting but is
the cool verdict of those who have
seen and who know.
The new panel wall fixtures, the
beautiful electrically lighted floor
cases, the handsome Lalley Light
Station, the Good Luck Grocery are
all arranged with that blending that
goes to make the beautiful, the per-
feet.
Each and every visitor not only re-
ceived the beautiful tokens above re-
ferred to, but were served refresh
ments in genuine old Southern Style
lots of it and more left-Everybody
was there and as they moved around
each and everyone happily visiting
and seeing; one could not help but
stop and wonder; as they viewed the
wonderful sight, the handsome fix
lures and equipment bedecked here
and there with the pretty palms, anc
as the sweet music filled the air; that
here at home right in Richmond was
the beginning, the celebration Of ar
institution the like of which will be
duplicated as time goes on and with
it will come the distinction of the
making of the best little city in al
Kentucky and the Southland.
A town.. community, county /:
just as big and just as progressive a:

wonderful opportunity in old Madison
How are we going to use it?

While numerous horses chang
ed hands Monday, and there was
a fair price, especially for mules,
the concensus of opinion was that

Washing Won't Rid
Head OF Dandruf

The only sure way to get rid of dan
druff is to dissolve it, then W destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone and three or four more appli-
cations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.-Adv. .
