WE LOSE THE
STATE AID MONEY

Investigation at Frankfort indicates
that there is very little, if any, chance
10 save the s5S3,0O0 State aid money
for Lawrence county roads. 1t it now
too late TO complete surveys and close
contracts before the first of July.
The only thing possible now, it
seems. is TO help finance the State on
the through road north and south, and
apply the bond money on roads run
ming east and west through the coun-
ty. However, this is a new problem
that will have TO be worked out and
we shall withhold comment until it is
decided what to do.
The fiscal court adjourned without
completing some important orders, but
it is said the body will be called to-
gether again within few days. This
should be. done. by all means. Furth-
er delay will mean still more losses.
The county needs roads. The people
have done ,all they can de UP TO this
point to get them.

STRIKE in FORCE

hampered by one of those railroad
strikes which Congress should pro-
hibit, The public is suffering untold
loss and Inconvenience by the stop
ping of train service.

warning, the excuse being that rail
road company at Chicago had dis
charged fellow named Grunau. Look
at the name-it isn't American. He
should have been discharged. The
ungrateful, disloyal, urn-American
thugs throughout the country quickly
resented the discharge of this radical
and proceeded to try TO starve and
freeze the public by stopping train
service How long is the suffering
public going to stand for these out
