trouble except for a slight end play

Although any end play in this men,

WORN TIRES ARE EXPENSIVE
Slight Gain Effected Is More Than Off,
set by Excessive Deterioration
of Wheels.

The slight gain effected by using
badly worn tires is much more than
offset by the excessive deterioration
of the wheels, motor and transmission,
not to mention breakdowns or serious
wrecks. 1t would be a good thing if
truck makers generally suggested to
their customers the ACCESSIBILITY of not
attempting to secure further mileage
after the tires have worn down.

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

The State Road Department prom
ised 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
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-
-ouire 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 If 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 reed all the help
possible to get.

METHODIST CHURCHES MERGE.
WITH REV. BoSTWIcK, p. C.

we see by a newspaper from Breck-
.inridge, MOI that four Methodist
churches have merged into two, and
that Rev. A. C. Bostwick, formerly of
Louisa, is pastor of the church at
Breckinridge.
The article says; An agreement be-
tween the two branches of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church whereby the
Southern Methodists withdraw from
breckenridge, Mo-, and the aMethodist
Episcopals" withdraw from ALBANY.
Mo, uniting the two congregations at
each place, has just become effective
through the approval of the bishops OF
the two Missouri conferences.
The Rev. A. C. Bostwick, who has
been pastor OF the Methodist Church
at Breckenridge the last three weeks.
will continue in the pastorate there.
MIR. Bostwick recently was transferred
to Missouri from West Virginia. The
Rev. Proctor Meredith Hamm, pastor
OF the Southern Methodist Church at
Breckenridge. has been transferred to
Albany and has taken up the pastor
ate there.
Under the agreement promulgated
last week the Southern Methodists will
dispose of their church property at
Breckenridge and the Methodists of
their property at Albany and the pros
.ceeds will be turned into the confer
ence funds for church extension.

w. j. VAUGHAN HIGHLY COM
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 tlIem about 1t. 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 MI Sterling who don't go to
church (and beyond doubt they consti-
tute the overwhelming majority of the
towns popuiation), missed a mighty
good thing last Sunday. A visitor came
to our little city whose name is
Vaughan-W. ]. Vaughan-We under
stand he represents an organization
called the Kentucky Sunday School As
sociatlon He spoke to about one hup
dred and twenty people at what the
church folks call a union servicel"
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 a 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 we'll gracefully
aptly and vividly.-stories as beautiful
and striking as THE Trail of the
Lonesome Pine" or THE White Cowl,r
ever dared to be. II his whole soul
weren't wrapped up in his ~work as a
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 go
to church, and don't know what they
miss

Big Change in School
Laws Is Contemplated

Frankfort. Ky.-The first decisive
step of several proposed to take Ken
tucky's schools out of politics was
taken by the Senate when 1t passed by
a vote of A to 2 bill that would
enable County Boards Of Education to
name county school superintendents,
the superintendents in turn to name
county school teachers.
The measure provides for mini
mum levy of 25 cents in each county
lin Kentucky for school purposes.
II enacted. the system of electing
county school superintendents, by vote
of the people will have been thrown
into the discard.
Considerable opposition was voiced
against that section of the bill pro-

Under the, present law the maximum
levy is 80 cents. There is no minimum.

GOOD OIL WELL
ON RICH CREEK

The most important development of
the week in Lawrence county's oil field
is well on John Thompson's farm on
Rich creek, near Ellen postoffice. Mr..
Slagel owns the lease and has drilled
the well. Some oil was found in the
lime, but the best showing is in the
Berea. This opens a new field.
Watkins & Preston recovered their
tools from the well near Busseyville in
which they had difficult fishing job
while cleaning out.
+. II. Yates is drilling his well on
the I. w. Ball farm to the corniferous
sand which should occur at 2100 to
22OO feet
Conley No. 5, near Potter, is esti-
mated to be the best on the lease.
The Maloney well on the Lackey
tract was given heavy shot and 1t
will make an average pumper
The well on the VIM. Weaver tract,
Knob branch. is being drilled deeper
and is now almost 1000 feet.
The price of oil is still SS.25 in this
iield. The Pennsylvania grade has had
two increases since this price was fix
ed, which is an unusual occurrence.
