full blooded Duroc Jersey hogs,
states that he fully approves the ar
ticle on feeding tankage which ap-
peared in last weeks issue Of the

finds that feeding tankage means
better hogs.
Mr. Smith is also pleased that an
effort is being made to push fruit

lieves the Mountain Advocate is on
the right track in its work of get
ting the merchants of Barbourville
to distribute strawberry plants to
the boys and girls of Knox County.
He sees no reason why, with atten-

AMERICAN LEGION MEETS.

At the meeting Of Deaton Smith
Post No. 50 of the American Legion
held Saturday night, the Post went
on record as favoring a $50 bonus
for each months service, as in favor
of Compulsory Military Training and
also appointed 100 per cent Ameri-
can Committee which consists of
Guy l.. Dickinson. chairman. Will
Fletcher, Sidney Hopper, Joe New
man, Walter N. Jarvis.
Members who have not paid their
dues are requested to pay same to
Ben II. Herndon or Robert Faulkner
Personally the Advocate believes
that the men who gave up their
lucrative positions to serve their
country, for a pittance should GER
tainly receive this bonus, which is
small enough. Even as it is they
will share with citizens who stayed
at home, the payment OF the money
thru general taxation.

NEW SANITARIUM

DR.. Leslie Logan now has his new
Sanitarium ready to receive patients.
The rooms are on the same floor as
his offices over the Sears & Croley
stores. There is plenty of good air
and light and everything is new and
fresh with all conveniencies needed
for a small hospital. At present
there are only four beds but more
very desirable rooms will be added
and will probably have to be used
very soon for Barbourville has long
felt the need of such an institution.
DR.. Logan has his offices thoro-
ly equipped for a general practice
and also to do emergency operations.
His X-Ray apparatus fills long felt
want for some means OF making a
sure diagnosis Of injuries to bones
and the presence of foreign objects
in the human body quickly without
the loss of time necessary when the
patient must be removed to the city.

DEROGATORY REMARKS

Many derogatory remarks are be-
ing made by farmers anent the roads
thru the County. Smokey Creek road
from the corporation limits is prac-
tically impossible for horse and
rig and is dangerous for a horse

are almost impossible after leaving
the asphalt pavement and are full of
holes that are a trap. 1t has been
impossible to take out men who have

HICKORY MILL DOUBLES
CAPACITY RECENTLY

Citizens OF Barbourville who have
not visited the T. w. Minton & Co.
Hickory Mill during the past few
months will be surprised at the
great growth of that big business.
The editor of the Advocate, who
was formerly familiar with every
corner of the plant. went out Mon
day and found that since last year
the capacity of the mill has been
doubled.
At the present time there are
some 100000 inch squares already
cut and these are added to every
day, while at the same time, big
shipments are going out every few
days. Besides this class of work,
the Hickory Mill ships about 500,
900 automobile spokes monthly.
Where there were four tables pre-
viously for cutting lumber to dimen-
sion size after coming from the log
saw, there now are eight. Eighty
men are OH the pay roll and to facil-
itate time keeping, a time clock has
been installed where the men put
themselves on record.
New sheds have necessarily had to
be constructed, a new cyclone saw
dust blower has been installed and,
since more water was needed for the
engines, pipe line has been run to
the brickyard lake and water is
pumped up from there.
Our friend, E. N. Matthews, saw
dentist. formerly depended on the
mill power but now goes merrily on
sharpening the many saws with cleo
trio power. A new automatic lathe
has just arrived but has not yet
been installed.
Inside the mill (Which was closed
down Monday on account of the very
cold weather. and In a special room
heated with stove were Messrs.
VIM. Tomlinson, Angus Mackenzie
and B. F. Snyder. who were sorting
over the turned inch squares, pre-
paratory to shipping them to their
firms. The auto spokes come under
the eagle eye of Louis Schroeder,
who probably knows more about the
different angles that a bird pecks
or worm worms its way, than any
other man In this section.
The firm, which consists OF T. w.
Minton, Miss Nola Minton, r. B.
Minton and Clarence Banks, has
built up an enterprise of which they
may we'll be proud and which our
citizens should appreciate, as one
that adds materially to the purchas-
ing power of many of our people.
We understand that further addi-
lions are contemplated in the near
future.
The Office end is in the capable
hands Of Miss Nola Minton and has
been so ably managed that they have
as buyers some of the biggest firms
in the United States and abroad.
The members of the firm all know
hickory and look after the produc-
tion of dimension stock.
The employees are as contented a
lot of men as may be found any
where and take a genuine interest in
the growth of the mill.
Ii regard to the Hickory Mill, the
old saw that nothing succeeds like
success" is very applicable.

WILL GET MORE PAY
Something Also Due the Taxpayers

The new school bill assures better
salaries for teachers. Incidently the
parents OF children who pay the
taxes scould be assured the best
teachers for the schools. in town
and country. Poorly educated or
lily prepared teachers curse the pu-
pills they supposedly teach by depriv-
ing them of a foundation on which
other teachers have to build. II the
foundation is lacking as is too often
the case. the pupil suffers thru the
rest of school life thereafter. Many
school graduates are astonishingly
backward In fundamental knowledge
due to Just such teachers.

RECRUITING PARTY ARRIVES

A detachment Of the Eighty First
Field Artillery has arrived in town
and will remain here for the next
week recruiting for the United
States Army. The party consists
of Lieutenant Miller and five men
and has been touring the mountains
of this part of Kentucky for the
last month. They have horses which
enables them to reach towns that
are away from the railroads and in
terview young mon who are not able
to see the recruiting officer in the
larger places.
Many special advantages are Of
fered to the young man in the army
now. Free schools teach a variety
of thirty-four Subiects-from gram
mar and arithmetic TO motor repair
and tool making The mornings
are spent at drill; the afternoons at
school. The soldier has his choice
of subjects or even does not have to
take the school course if he does
not wish to.
Men between the ages Of eighteen
and forty may enlist for one year
in the Field Artillery or Engineers
without any previous service. They
may also enlist for three years in
any branch. Previous service men
may enlist for one year in Field Ar
tillery or Engineers. For men who
have served in the Army, Navy or
Marine Corps during the late war
or at any other time the chances are
excellent for quick promotion, as
there is 4 shortage Of non-commis-
stoned officers. Bandsmen. or men
who can play any musical instru-
ment we'll are also given fine advan-
tages.
Remember that all pay received is
"clear" and above all expenses; that
you receive a thirty days vacation
on full pay each year; and that
sick or we'll your pay in the service
goes on Just the same. Good quar-
tiers, electric lights, heat, hot show
ers, gymnasiums, reading rooms, all
are free to the men of the post.
Dances take place at the camp every
week and there are plenty of girls
for everyone. Movie shows every
night.
The army is no place for a man
who is shiftless; but for a clear
eyed, alert young American who
loves travel, adventure, and the
brotherhood of clean, good-hearted
men, it is well worth a trial. Think
it over!
