HERE'S SOME REAL JOY; COST
OF LIVING TO DROP.

A decrease in the cost of living
in the next few months is predicted
by Arthur Williams, Federal Food
He based his belief on the spirit
of economy prevailing among the
people as whole, decreased eX-
ports and increased production.
Prices of clothing will drop
sharply within year. Mr.. Williams
believes, and he advised against
stocking UP on apparel now. The
wiser course. he says, is to buy only
clothes that actually are needed.

PROSECUTION or
PARENTS Held Up

The hearing of the big list of par
ents from the Poosey section booked
for last week, has been postponed ow-
ing to other cases being set for a
hearing on the same date. 1t is now
said to be probable that number
will be hailed before Judge Price in
county court next week. A long list
of aflidavits has been issued and
preparations are on for the prosecu-
ton of all who have been guilty of
violating the compulsory educational
laws. There have been many, Truant
Officer w. A. Johnson states, who
have failed to send their children to
school. This is the gist Of the trouble
te officer states, and constitutes the
greater portion of the work connected
with his office, since wilful truant5
are few and far between. There are
number of students reported as
having tried to take matters into their
own hands and ''teach the teachers"
However, this clement is said to be
very decided minority.

POOL SEEMS TO Be
GOING SLOW IN DAVIES

Owensboro, KY, Dec. 16-Un-
less there is a more concerted ac-
ton on the par" Of tobacco grow
ers of Daviees c0unty, there is
some doubt now that the pool of
the 1920 crop through what is to
be known as the Tobacco Grow
ers' Marketing Association will
be formed, so some Of the leaders
of the movement stated today
when 600 farmers again met at
the court house. The tabulation
of pledges was the chief feature
of the meeting. Some districts
made a good showing, while 9th
ers were anything but satisfac-
tory. A committee of 500 farm
ers was to be named at the after
noon session to make a canvass
among those growers not solicit
ed on Thursday, the report at an
other meeting to be held proba
on Friday, when it will be de .
nitely announced just what will
be, the outcome OF the proposed
organization.
Notwithstanding efforts made
to keep the growers from bring
ing their tobacco to the loose leaf
floors in OwensbOro, the sales to-
day will aggregate over 100000
pounds with an average around
So per hundred.
The tobacco market reached its
highest point during the season We'd
nesday, when Pryor tobacco sold at
an average of $3.50 per 100 pounds,
$1,000 pounds being disposed of, and
the leaf Went as high as $50. Buyers
and warthousenen said the advance
in the market was due t. the superior
quality of the Offering, while growers
claimed it was due to the organization
of the Green River Tobacco Market
ing Association, recently formed. The
campaign of the growers to obtain
better prices will be carried into 9th
er counties in the Green river dis
trict.

COUNTY OPENS QUARRY
FOR WINTER ROAD WORK

The county stone quarries will be
reopened by the county worlmen
within short time and there will be
more blasting and taking out of stone
but the blasting will not be of the
force which characterized those dur
ing the time the streets were being
provided with the ingredient. The
supply to be taken out will be for the
purpose Of providing material for the
necessary road work during the win
ter.
The quarry has been worked to a
point as near as possible to Hill street
and the future operations will be
from another quarter. However,
there is said to be an abundant supply
of stone, in which the county is very
rich.

$4,000 WORTH
CONCRETE ON ROADS
Madison Highways To Be Fur
ther Improved AT Reduced
Cost During Year

Concrete in greater quantities than
ever before has been employed in
constructing bridges and culverts for
roads in Madison county during the
past year, the estimated cost of this
feature of road work alone being
$4,000, according to County Road
Engineer J. G.. Baxter.
''There will be road building in
Madison county next year," said MI.
Baxter, "but it will be under better
conditions, and there will be more
work done and not so much money
paid out. There will be better work
ing conditions for both the men and
the county. The work will be more
satisfactory all the way around. One
of the men who has been in the en-
ploy Of the county and good road
workman for years stated he did not
have any more money at $3.50 per
day than when he was paid $3.50 per
day, and this is the way with many
Of them"
Mr.. Baxter stated wages would not
be reduced to this extent. However,
he believed with the general adjust
ment of things prices would go down
and that worllmen would not be so
scarce and all would be able to tell
just about what So would buy, any
how. There will be much more work
during the coming year, and the xe-
pense will not be nearly so great.
That which had to be done this year
was accomplished, or. rather, the fin
ishing touches are being applied and
the roads are being put in condition
for winter.

DENIES CLIENT WAS
AFTER GIRLS MONEY
Lawyer of Man Mentioned In
Connection With Miss Tevis'
Death Makes Statement

New York, Dec. 15-In a statement
to newspaper men, counsel for TIE
young Jerseyman whose name has
been mentioned by friends of Miss
Betty Tevis as that of the man who
Tilted her and thereby drove her to
suicide denied his client was a
lounge lizard" at fashionable hotels
who lived by his wits and sought Miss
Tevis' hand in marriage, only to
spurn her on learning she was not
wealthy
Miss Tevis shot herself last Thurs
day night in the apartment of her
sister, Mrs. Joseph T. Talbert, for
merly of Richmond, KY, widow of a
banker, at No. 11O East 54th street
Mrs. Talbert told the police her sis
ter, who was IS years old, presses q
revolver to her breast almost imme-
diately following a telephone CONVEX
sation she had with a man.
Newspaper men were told after the
tragedy by persons telephoning
anonymously that a certain man hv-
ing in town across the river was re-
sponsible for the girls act. This man
was still out of reach of reporters,
but his attorney made this statement:
"My client met Miss Tevis twice s.
the Hotel Plaza. They We're casual
acquaintances. There was no court
ship. He never telephoned to Miss
Tevis.
"It is true he posed under another
name, but it was his middle name
and it was used because he wished to
save his family notoriety in event he
got into any escapade such as the
sons Of wealthy families occasionally
do. He did not have to live by his
wits, nor was he fortune seeker. He
has considerably more money than
Mrs. Talbert or her sister possessed
''The story that he was run out of
Tulsa, Okla, is untrue. Sometimes
the sons of wealthy families get into
financial scrapes. My client owns
considerable stock and property and
he is in business for himself. He
--ent around a bit Just as young men
of his age-twenty-one-do. but there
was nothing in his acquaintance with
Miss Tevis to lead to any belief he
was engaged to her. Those who
have tride to involve him as the
cause eof her suicide are themselves
of the lounge lizard type.
''Who knows that the girls suicide
was the result of a telephone call?
Why could it not have been due to
some quarrel other than the alleged
jilting by telephone?
1t was learned that on Friday ev-
ening a tall. blonde-haired young mar
with mustache, answering description
tion of the New Jersay man, appear
ed at the Campbell funeral parlors
and went over to the coffin contain
ing the body Of Miss Tevis. Learning
of this incident, Mrs. Talbert caused
the immediate removal of the body to
st. Georges Chapel, Stuyvesant
Square, where funeral services were
held Saturday.
Mrs. Talbert and her sisters body
are in Richmond, KY, the home Of
the Tevis family.
