at the Trust Company.


C. F. Pack, vice-president and
treasurer of the Lafayette Co.
Trust Company, will sever his
relations with that institu-
ton August 1st, and go to Kan
sas City, Kansas, where he has
been elected cashier of the
Home State Bank. Lexington
can i'll afford to lose men of Mr..
Packs calibre and Mr.. Pack is
loathe to leave, but the induce
ments offered were such that
he could not afford to pass up.
Mr.. Pack came here in 1918 and
Immediately became active in
everything for the betterment
Of Lexington and surrounding
country, He brought new pep
to the old town and made
friends rapidly; friends who
express sincere regret at his
leaving, but who also congratu-
late him on his chance in a
wider field.
Mr.. Pack will be succeeded by
Hubert Bates. Mr.. Bates, who
is deputy county clerk, will not
relnquish his work at the court
house entirely; in fact, his du-
ties with the Trust Company
will be assumed gradually. Mr..
Bates will bring to this po-
sition the experience of several
years in the banking business
together with a wide acquain,
tance and general reputation
for business acumen.

C. OF {. BEGINS
SECOND YEAR
A Larger Membership And En-

The open forum Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce last night
marked the beginning Of
the second year of its existence.
It's now a lusty organization of
169 members. and has very in
dication of continued existence
through the acknowledged nee
essity for such an organization.
The "anvil chorus for time
is mute. A year ago it was said,
whats the use; at different in
tervals we have had the Retail
Merchants Association, t h e
Commercial Club, and the what
nOts, and this will only last but
a few months and go blooie like
the Others" But, contrary to
such belief this organization
gained momentum on an uI
grade until it dawned upon the
most skeptical that the Cham.
Der of Commerce was different
and recognized it for its true
worth.
While the first years worE
was mostly a diagnosis of con
ditions and of our Shortcomings
as a community, it was no
without actual accomplishment

MIR. FulkersOn Replies to "a
Reader" With Reference to
A Lottery.
July 9, 1921.
Dear Mr.. Allen

Dear Mr.. Allen i
Answering the inquiries Of
"a Reader" contained in the
Daily Intelligencer of July 9Th,
and taking the questions pro-
pounded in the order presented,
viii say:
That establishing a lottery, or
the sale or exposal to sale, of
lottery tickets, has long been
condemned by the laws of Mis-
souri,. See sections 1862 and
1868 Revised Statutes of Mis-
souri, 1919. The name, reputa-
tion or standing in the commu-
nifty of the individuals Offend
ing, or the quality Of the arti-
Gle or articles disposed of by
means of lottery have no
bearings on the question Of le-
gality, for theoretically at least,
no person is above the law, and
any article of value may consti-
tute a basis for a lottery.
The members of your lodge
cannot dispose of a piano by
lottery and be guiltless of crime.
The expression, Might Makes
Right is of ancient origin and
is pretty generally understood.
That Might Makes Right" is
: the generally, if not UNIVERSAL

: pie, the biggest bull in the pas
ture is king of the herd. And
so it was-or should say ISL
: with humanity. AS man emerg-
y es from barbarism, he profess.
a edly disclaims adherence to tht
Y law of the brute creation. But
:, sometimes for temporary gain
o in power or purse he reverts tx
n his former state. The Kaiser i

Statement to The Public :


new hospital, the hospital trus-
ices appointed by the Chamber
Of Commerce, feel that a resume
Of these things already accom-
plished together with the unfn-
ished portion of the hospital
program, should be presented to
the people Of this community.
The movement for a hospital
to serve Lexington and Lafay-
cite county took definite form at
the April open forum of the
Chamber of Commerce. At that
time the program committee,
collaborating with the other
of the Chamber pre-
sented a concrete proposition
from Mrs. Margaret Shinn to
convert her beautiful home on
Highland Avenue into a hospit-
.al on the basis of a guaranteed
earning for aperiod of one yaer.
With that movement launched
came the appointment of this
board of trustees, with full pow
Ter to formulate such plans as
would insure a hospital for this
county. A contract was enter
ed into with Mrs. Shinn for the
remodeling and enlargement of
her home. Under the terms of
/ the contract the trustees a.
agreed on behalf of the Cham
ber Of Commerce to furnish the
surgical equipment for the use
of the hospital, the title to the
equipment to be vested in the
trustees or their successors.
1t is with qualification the
trustees announce to the public
! that in the construction of the
addition Mrs. Shinn has more
than performed her part of the
} agreement. In fact, she has
builded a hospital so thorough
ly modern, convenient and san
itary in its every appointment
that the visitors who went dowr
? to see the institution Monday
: evening are continuing to wond
er how a dream of so many
: years suddenly became an un
] heralded reality. The santa
ton, comfort and convenience
: of the new building is as gooC
] as the best of the larger insti
: tutions of it's kind-the sight!
0 and restful location is SUPERB
: to any like institution in tn
: central west.
S We want to impress thes
things upon the public becaus
e Mrs. Shinn has had such a prid
in her work that she has NOR
r than met the demands of he
e contract. The plant as it stand
Il not only justifies the very bes
e of surgical equipment, but thi
r community should have a prid
:, in performing their part of tn
h contact in a splendid wa!
d thereby putting a fitting car
+ sheaf on worthy movement G
e public benefit so splendidly er
n terprised by an individual.
# If the. trustees are successfl
y in the progrm they have j
# mind the hospital will have ev
e ey appliance of health, SAINT,
r tion and comfort to be found
n the larger institutions of iii
Ie kind in the cites. Not one thin
Y win be lacking to make it q
h up-to-the-minute institution
II its kind.
" Monday July 18, the subscri'
n, tion campaign will begin
n raise money for the purchase
m this equipment. Under plai
J. formulated by the trustees on

of people you are helping. The mes
sage they sent you was this:
I'VE Armenian women at the foot
of Mount Ararat, because you in Am
erica have not forgotten to send us
help, every hour of the day are pray
ing for America"
Lady Anne and her husband can not
return to Armenia because a price
has been placed upon their heads. The
speaker Wednesday night said that
one of the most horrible sights wit
messed was that of $50 women and
children in one locality who had beer
decapitated because the Sultan o.
Turkey had offered money for their
heads
With the needs of Armenia still so
acute, funds are being received in all
parts of the country for relief work.
Mrs. A. w. Roach, Wayne county
chairman of the relief, is now out
of subscription blanks, but she has
announced that within a few days a
headquarters will be opened on Main
street, where subscription blanks can
be obtained. Organizations will be
especially urged to make substantial
contributions. Individual gifts will be
greatly appreciated.

Questions and Answers on City Manager Plan

duties of light plant superintendent to
the city manager, or the commission
may by ordinance create a separate
Office of light plant superintendent
co. How often will the commits
sioners meet to discuss the city's
business?
(A.) The commission must meet al
least once a week. and more frequent
ly if they desire.
(Q) Are the commissioners elected
from the city at large or from wards
(A) At large.
(QD Can the tax rate be lowered
under the city manager?
(A.) That is a question that can be
answered with certainty only after
trial. AS it is, the exponents claim
that one of the strongest features OF
the law is that it will give a business
administration designed to give the
tax payer the most for his money
Whether this will result in a tax re-
duction cannot be definitely predicted
In some cities where the plan has
been given a trial it has lowered the
rate and in some others it has re-
mained virtually the same; seldom has
a raise in tax rate occurred
Editors Note-The foregoing ques
tions and answers have been prepared &
to supply information which has been
requested.
