you please to designate the smell Of
whiskey, was pronounced. Keen

prolonged sniff. The plot was laid.
That night carefully planned raid
was executed. Boards tightly nailed
across the car door we're pried off,
the car was entered, hoops mounted
high and then perfectly good car

found. The recording angel will give
the prospectors credit for replacing
the boards, nails and all.

INSTRUCTIONS ARE BINDING
SAYS CONGRESSMAN CANTRILL

Discussing the question raised in
Washington in regard to the force of
instructions placed by the Louisville
convention on Kentucky delegates to
the Democratic National Convention
at San Francisco June %, Represen-
tatives A. W. Barkley and Ben John
son, two of the Kentucky delegates
at large, Saturday, stated that they
construed the instructions to bind
them in good faith to support Gov
ernor Cox, of Ohio, for the Presi-
dency until he is nominated or until
they are released by Governor Cox's
manager.
Mr.. Barkley opposed instructions,
but since they have been placed up
on him he regards them to be bind
ing.
Representative Cantrill, who was
one of Cox's managers in the Ken
lucky fight, ridiculed the idea that
the instructions adopted by the State
convention had no binding effect. He
said he was Satisfied with the pro-
ceedings," Of the convention and that
the Cox men in Kentucky "made a
wonderful fight"

Kentucky Wheat Crop
Reduced to One-half

The wheat crop in Kentucky this
year will be Just about one-half Of
what it was last year, according to-
the May crop report issued jointly
by the Commission of AgricuI-
ture W. c. Hanna and T. F. Bryant,
Kentucky field agent of the q. s.
Bureau of Crop Estimates.
Last year Kentucky produced 12,-
029, 900 bushels and the estimate for
the crop this year is placed at g.
143,00 bushels.
Probable rye production is esti-
mated at 624,0OO bushels compared
to 744,0OO bushels last year and
tame hay at 1,41O,00O tons compared
to 1861 900 tons produced last year.
Actual production this season may
prove greater or less than these es-
Inmates, depending on whether con-
ditions are particularly favorable or
unfavorable between now and thresh-
ing time and hay harvest.
Heavy reduction of wheat acreage
in Kentucky last fall, late sowing,
poor condition this spring and aban-
donment of Ia per cent. Of even the
reduced acreage that was sowed, ard
the chief conditions warranting such
low estimate of the wheat crop. -
Rye came through the winter lit
tie better than wheat, but still much
below average. Wheat acreage left
for harvest is now estimated at 6is,1
600 acres compared to 1,046,000 last
year; condition this month is II per
cent. of normal compared to 1O3 per
cent. this time last year. \

those who, while otherwise in favor
of the proposed steps to be taken by
Montgomery County in making it
possible for the county to be relieved
of the expense of upkeep on the thir-
ty-one miles covered by the state
system, were inclined to hesitate if
construction costs were suddenly to
rise unduly. s
The main point to remember is
that the cost of construction comes
out of the state road fund, and that
the state road fund is made up of
taxes collected from all of the csun-
ties, supplemented by Federal Gov
ernment funds available for certain
designated Federal Aid roads. Mont
gomery will pay her share of the
state and federal taxes from which
the road funds are created, whether
she elects to have some of the con-
struction carried on in this county
in the near future or not. II not,
then her share of the taxes go to
constructing roads in other counties.

Roger ID. Barnes, aged 46 years,
proprietor Of the Sanitary Meat Mar
ket, and one Of this city's most prom
inent business men, was found dead
in his store shortly before s o'clock
this morning.
The body was discovered by Daniel
Boone, an employe Of Mr.. Barnes,

door was found locked from the In
side and Mr.. Boone went through the
store of Chenault & Orear and upon
entering the rear door found Mr..
Barnes lying back Of the refrigera-
tor on the floor. He was still alive,
but died before a physician could ar
rive.
Mr.. Barnes had been in poor
health for some time, but appeared
on yesterday to I've as well as usual
and left the store last night in COM
pany with Mr.. Boone at 9 o'clock,
stating that he was going home. His
death was caused by an overdose Of

Early Completion
Of Road Assured
No. Q

The Advocate learns that progress
already made by several counties on
State Primary Road System Project
No. AZ, running from Bardstown to
Ashland via Winchester, Mt. Sterling,
Owingsville and Merohead, is much
more substantial than even the Mont
gomery County Good Roads advo-
kates had hoped for. The significance
OF this is in the fact that it fore
shadows the comparatively early
completion Of the entire project.
Upon the authority Of an engineer
of note, gentleman who was hiln-
self State Road Commissioner for
Kentucky for number of years, it
may be stated that the construction
cost of permanent type Of road on
the thirty one miles of the new State
Primary Road System in Montgomery
County, exclusive of bridges will run
around twenty-five thousand dollars
a mile. As a matter of fact, he be-
1ieves that the Midland Trail section,
from Clark to the Bath County line,
will run less than that figure.
In Carter County bids are now be-
ing asked for on construction Of fif-
teen miles from Olive Hill to Gray
son, one-half the cost of which is
paid for from the Federal Aid Fund
available for the Midland Trail
Project.
In the adjoining county Of Clark,
also receiving Federal Aid on the
construction of the road from Win
chester toward Lexington, work has
already been started on the contract
recently let. The gentlemen who fig
ured on the successful bid inform
the Advocate that the reason for the
cost running into figures higher than
previous bids for construction in
Fayette, Rowan and other counties in
this section was extraordinary ex-
pense involved in two short stretches
included in the six miles for which
the specifications called.
Out from Winchester, toward Lex
ington, culvert, now fifteen feet
wide, was extended in the specifica-
tions, to twenty four feet in width,
entailing grading for approximately
one hundred feet, and concrete con-
Nstruetion, the figures for that par
ticular job approximating forty-four
thousand dollars.
Further on out from Winchester
the specifications called for elimi- /
mating a dangerous curve, necessi-
tating cutting through a ledge some
fifteen feet deep for considerable
distance, at cost approximating
ten thousand dollars.
The Advocate is glad to contribute
this information for the benefit of
