ENGINEERS WANTED
FOR OUR ROADS
Surveys Finished in Pike
County and Started
in Floyd.

The State Road Department prom
Used Judge Rife, more than a month
ago, TO send engineers into this county
very soon to make surveys for the
roads that the people voted the bond
issue to build. Nothing more has been
heard from Frankfort
The NEWS this week sent an urgent
inquiry to Frankfort for information
on this point, but no reply had been
received up to the time of going to
press.
State engineers have completed sur
veys in Pike county and are now at
work in Floyd.
Effort should be directed toward get
ting additional engineers for work in
this county at the earliest possible
date. The surveys and maps will re-
quire considerable time and nothing
can be done toward contracting the
work until the maps and specifications
are ready. 1t is the desire of the peo-
pie that work be started as early in
the season as possible.
This matter of building good roads
is the one thing above all others In
which there must be the fullest coop
GRAFTON Of officials and everybody in
any way connected with the great en-
terprise. All the little jealousies and
differences must be laid aside II the
greatest measure of success is to at
tend this work. Help the court and
all who carry any part of the great
burden and responsibility that goes
along with this heavy task. To do the
job well they will need all the help
possible to get.

w. j. VAUGHAN HIGHLY CON-
PLIMENTED BY NEWSPAPER

The following is from the Mt. Sterl-
ing Advocate:
People who do not go to church often
miss good thing But as they don't
know what they miss. maybe it is a
waste of time to tell them about it, 1t
is like telling people who do not read
what fine article appeared in a late
review, or what a helpful book some
author has recently produced. Anyway
what we started out to say is that
folks in Mt. Sterling who don't &c to
church (and beyond doubt they consti-
tute the overwhelming majority of the
towns population), missed a mighty
good thing last Sunday. A visitor came
to our little city whose name is
Vaughan-W. J. Naughan-We under
stand he represents an organization
called the Kentucky Sunday School As
ISOLATION. He spoke to about, one hun
bred and twenty people at what the
church folks call union service"
We wonder where the .other fifteen
hundred or more members We're! The
Sunday school man proved to be no
ordinary individual. He showed him
self very forceful character. In sim
pie, chaste and winsome language, he
told of religious conditions in the
mountains of Kentucky. He is himself
product of education in the noun
tains, and is of as fine blood as the
state can boast. He related stories OF
mountain life; of barefooted boys and
girls developing into splendid and use
full men and women (some of them at
tanning nationwide reputation,) that
held his audience spell bound-appeal-
ing stories, stories full of human in
terest. He told them well, gracefully
aptly and wildly stories as beautiful
and striking as THE Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" or THE White Cowl,
ever dared to be. If his whole sou
weren't wrapped up in his work as q
missionary, and he were to court lit
erary success instead, he could write
book of mountain life that would
rank with the best work of John Fox
or James Lane Allen, or anybody else
He would-but oh, what's the use We
said at the outset, some folks won't 90
to church, and don't know what the.
miss.

Big Change in School
Laws Is Contemplated

Frankfort, Ky.-Thc first decisive
step of several proposed to take Ken
tucky's schools out of politics was
taken by the Senate when it passed by
a vote OF A to bill that would
enable County Boards of Education to
name county school superintendenfs
the superintendent in turn to name
county school teachers.
The measure provides for mini
mum levy of rs cents in each county
in Kentucky for school purposes.
If enacted. the system of electing
county school superintendent. by vote
Of the people will have been thrown
into the discard.
Considerable opposition was voiced
against that section OF the bill pro-
viding for a minimum levy of 25>cents
Under the, present law the maximum
levy Is 80 cents. There is no minimum
