GARAGE AT CAMP ZACHARY TAYLOR
In the sale of Camp Zachary Taylor,

In the sale Of Camp Zachary Taylor,
at auction. beginning Monday, April
Is, the cost of building material will
be reduced in such drastic manner that
the many who have for several years
past been living in uncomfortable and
crowded conditions, because Of the
shortage of homes, will be enabled to
procure, at their own price, all mate
rial necessary for building.
Many million feet of Kindred lum-
Der was selected for the construction
Of this Cantonment, and it was subject
ed to the most rigid inspection: Hav-
ing been exposed to the weather for
only short time, it is practically as
good as new, and for. rough construc-
ton work and outdoor purposes on the
farm or in the building of a home, it
will answer every purpose that lumber
fresh from the mill does, and will
doubtless sell for considerably less
money.
The same Is true regarding the
plumbing and heating equipment that
was used at the camp. This will be
sold in small lots so that the small
buyer viii be in as good position to
take advantage of these bargains as
the large buyer who Is able to buy
several carloads.
The 1000 buildings viii be offered
one at time, and the successful bid

Canada and the Tariff.

Canada shipped 600 millions OF
dollars worth of goods to the
United States during the sa'en<
dar year of 1920, and the protec~
zionist in Congress are now pro
posing to prevent this inflow BY
means of prohibitive tariff.
All right, but what Of The
other side of the picture? Dur
ing this year. when Canada vas
shipping 600 million dollars
worth of goods to the United
States, the United States was
sending 1000 millions IN goods
to Canada. In other words, We
sold to Canada during the year
goods that brought 400 millions
in excess of what Canada sold NJ
America. If Canada had not
been able to pay in goods, this
trade would, of course have been
impossible.
And Canada is preparing to
strike back hard as soon as
American tariff rates go no. A.
committee from the Canadian
Parliament was named three
months ago to prepare a retail
iatory tariff, and it is under
stood that the act is ready. Nor
will Canada be forced to do with
out the goods she needs, fox
Great Britain will be permitted
to ship goods in on favored terms,
and the only result VIII De 10

filled in America
This question of proibitive tar
ifs at this time is after al, 3
very simple matter. As & Is,
imports are falling Of If We
further increase the tariff rates,
they will dwindle to the van
ishing point, and our foreign eE-
ports will dwindle even more
rapidly,-Leuisyille POST

if one wishes to go to the further exI
pense of applying steel lathe on the
sides and putting stucco on the lathe,
an artistic, thoroughly modern home
could be had for mere fraction of
what it would cost were it not possible
to secure this Government property at
ones own price, at auction.
The sale will begin on Monday, April
IS, and continue until all of the 1000
buildings and 1000 acres of land are
disposed of. Needless to say, this will
be an absolute sale, and the Govern
ment will reserve nothing, but will dis
pese of it all to the highest bidder.
There are many stables, creosote
water troughs and cresosoted fence
post that should particularly appeal to
the farmer, who can purchase them at
his own figures.
The putting of this mammoth Can
torment on the market for sale at
auction will do much to lower the cost
of building. The original cost of
buildings and land comprising the Can
torment was $10,OO0,OOO. 1t will be
sold for just what it will bring at auc-
ton. A sale of this magnitude has
never before been held in Kentucky,
and it offers an unparalleled oppor-
tunity to those desiring to purchase
building material of every description.
The taxpayers who furnished the
money to build Camp Zachary Taylor
will have an opportunity here to profit
by the sale of the land and building
material, which win be sold at auction
by the Louisville Real Estate and De-
velopment Company, of Louisville, who
will serve as sales agents for the War
Department.

The Man Of the Hour.

(By Stuart W. Knight.
Whenever you need a man who
has speed,
Look for the man that's a fighter,
Who'll never let go, but whom
blow after blow
Will only make hang on the tigh-
ter.
The man who will dig into tasks
that are big
Is always the one to be trusted.
It's the indolent chap who don't
care a rap
For Success, With whom we're
disguised.
For the test of a man is the way
he will scan
A difficult task and pitch in it.
We Judge men by deeds and
know the world needs
A man of the hour every minute.

Of Mondays session, and 1t Is prob
able the congress will attempt to clear

Ing final disposition by the meeting.
Mondays session created the first
excitement Of the congress and there
were many tense moments when It
appeared the Spanish speaking dele
gates were about to GUST Mr.. Com
pers from the leadership of the fed
GRAFTON. They coupled their attack
upon him with bitter criticism on the
foreign policy of the United States
government, and SO vehement became
his opponents that the veteran labor
leader called Treasurer James Lord
to take the chair and answered his
critics from the floor. He concluded
his address by declining the nomina-
ton for the presidency Of the fed
GRAFTON and insisted that his name
should not be considered. All the RI
val candidates then Withdrew and Mr..
Gompers was unanimously elected.

REAL IOWA BLIZZARD

Sunday, January 18th. was prob
ably the worst day of the winter.
A high northwest wind blew at a
terrific gale all day, carrying with

The mercury hung around the zero
mark all day, adding to the severity
of the day. On Monday afternoon the

morning the walks were covered with
coating of sleet making it exceed
ingly dangerous to venture out.

FINES OF sos ASSESSED
Participants in Row Near Jennings
Also Placed Under Peace Bonds.


Justice of Peace West had a pretty
busy afternoon on Saturday when he
heard the evidence in three assault
cases in which Harvey burst and his
two sons, jeremiah and Herman, were
the parties arraigned before him upon
warrants sworn out by William J.
Speicher, of Accident, and served Fri
day by Constable Jerry o. Browning,
of Oakland.
The three men were charged in the
warrants with having assaulted Mr..
Speicher and beating him pretty bad
ly with their fists. Mr.. Speicher al
legged that the assault took place on
Monday prior to the hearing and he
still carried marks of the battle at
the time of the trial. The evidence
showed that the assault was unpro-
voked and the Justice fined each of
the men $25 and costs totalling the
sum of sos, which was paid and they
were released upon the charge In the
meantime, however, peace warrants
had been taken out for the men and
they were held until late Saturday
evening when bonds were arranged for
them and they were released from the
custody of the officer.
Another case before Justice West
on Saturday was that of Senator Har-
vey J. Speicher, who was arrested up
on a warrant taken out by Harvey
burst charging Senator Speicher with
assault. After hearing the evidence
of several witnesses the Justice rem
dered decision of not guilty and the
case was dismissed.
