FEDERAL AID BILL

To The Citizens of Lewis. Greenup
BOYD, Carter, Rowan, Elliott, Law
renee, Johnson. Martin, Magoffin Floyd
and Pike counties:
1 wish to call to your attention the
fact that there are two Federal hlsh-
way bills up before Congress related
TO Federal Aid on certain designated
highways In each State, one OF these
hills rs known as the Townsend bill
which provides for Federal Highway
Commission and which gives this FED
eral Highway Commission the power
10 designate the Federal Highways IN
each state instead of the State High
way Commission. The other bill was
first known as the Dowell-Phipps bill
which is known now as the Robinson
bill which passed the House -FOUR 10
one which Is practically the sam" as
the Federal Aid which we are no"
receiving and which the state HlEh-
way Dept. OF Kentucky Is very anN-
ious to see pass the Senate, II ~ my
understanding that all the Kentucky
congressman voted in favor OF the
Robson bill and that Senator Stanley
1. I'm favor of same but Senator Ernst
Is against the Robson bill and In favor
ofM Townsend bill. II the Town
sendA u passes Congress We are very
reliable nformed that alt of the F"d-
eral Aid money Will first be spent on
two roads. one from New York TO
San Francisco going through the north
ern states and missing Kentucky ana
the other road would be road from
Chicago 10 Mama. Florida. which Is
known az the Dixie Highway ana
.Mould CROSS Kentucky,
\ ,sIf this is done it means that Ken

vile. Also all work on the Midland
Trail from Catlcttsburg through u"
Lexington would be- discontinued at
abe completion of the present con
Tracts. This Is matter which all clu-
zens OF Kentucky should be very grave
Nv Interested in and we request the
citizens and the civic bodies such as
Chambers OF Commercess, Clups'
Boards OF Trade County CoHHAittee%
both Democrats and Republicans TO
write a personal letter to Senator
Ernst TO support the Robson bill in
stead OF the Townsend bill
one other thing Is :he state az Ken
lucky has used all Of its present Fed
erai Aid money and no new work can
be contracted for outside OF Few
contracts on the Mayo Trail until this
bill passes Congress and you are urg-
ed TO request both Senators Ernst and
Stanley and your Congressman to use
their influence in getting this ball
passed by Congress as quickly as pos
sible. SO that our road work in Kentuc-
KY can progress and not to have to be
discontinued on account OF the failure
OF the passage Of this bill.
Yours very truly,

SAYS RAIL RATE
CUT is WESTERN
FARMERS HOPE
Kansas Utilities Commission
Head Appeals to Com
merce Board.

CHICAGO. Sept. 15.-Lower rail rates
which viii save from ruin farmers of
twenty Western States who last year
operated at a loss are expected soon by
Clyde NJ. Reed, chairman Of the public
utilities commission Of Kansas, who, rep
resenting fourteen of the States, has ap-
peared before the Interstate Commerce
Commission for the reduction.
Reed, who arrived here with Governor
Henry Allen of Kansas City today, ex-
poets a decision from the commission in
time TO help in the movement of this
seasons crops. The hay, grain aud corn
harvests of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa,
Utah. Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska, South Dakota, North Dakota.
Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho and Arizona,
will be affected by the decision, Reed
said.
Five railroad vice presidents appeared
before the commissioners at the hearing,
Reed declared. "They tried to prove
that the roads were not making money.
But, from their own figures, we were
able to show that nineteen Western rail-
roads, representing 90 per cent of the
mileage of twenty Western States, had
piled up corporate SURPRISES of a billion
and a quarter dollars and that Of this
sum, In 1920 alone, $112,00o,o00 was
added"
Reed charges that new funds have been
created by the railroads into which sur
plus moneys have been placed so as not
TO show q profit. He charges that a
single new fund, never heard of before in
railroading, was started last year, and
tina $50 100000 was hidden away in this
fund which he says is called the orerat-
ing reserve fund.
Upon the record" concluded Reed,
I'VE have proved our need for the re-
duced rates and the ability of the rail-
roads to grant them. I look forward to
a decision soon which will bring new
hope to the farmers Of the West"

A large crowd was observed lowering
around the front Of the store at Bounding
Billows this morning. The deputy con-
stable, being always on the alert, hurried
to the scene to find that the excitement
was caused by the arrival of a bunch of
bananas.
This community was aroused from Its
slumbers last night when a fusllade of
shots rang out on the still night air. The
noise was traced to the home of Fletcher
Henstep, who had put in too much sugar

WHOSE TRACKS.
byC arlysle H. Holcomb.

You remember that Silky, the
monkey, was looking for tracks in the
swamp? He had told the King and
Jack, the wood rat, that they were
tracks of Jack, the Rabbit, and now
he was anxious to prove it.. He, search
ed a bit and what his eyes saw was
more than he expected to find. Where
he before had seen a track or two he
now saw a dozen. OF curse it was in
the soft mud neal the edge of the
/, brook for Silky could not have seen
a track any place else for. there was
no snow on the ground and there
could be no dust in the swamp and
those are the three things in which
tracks are made.
Some n has been here since L
was and there are a dozen tracks in
stead Of one or two" said Silky.
Tinker o looked at the tracks in
lien He found that they led into
the brook. A smile came over thu
Kings face as he stepped back from
the place where the tracks were seen.
Tell me. are not these the tracks Of
Jack the Rabbit asked Silky. He
was over his laughing spell for he
could see the expression ON the Kings
face and knew that 1t Smeant some
lining more than merely understand
ing the things he saw.
I'VE had better find out why these
tracks lead into the water. Did you
ever hear Of Jack. the rabbit, going
into the water for a swim?"
That was n new question and Silky
could only say that he never had
heard Of such a thing. Jack, the Rab-
bit. who was listening to everything
being said shivcred at The thought OF
going into the water for a swim. He
sat back Of a clump of dead weeds
and peeked now and then to see what
the King was going to do next.
II tell vol I never did hear of Jack
going into the water for a swim. It
means. that someone has either chased
him n the water or he has lost his
head and run into the water" -.
