Tom Slaughter, the notorious
bank robber and murderer, is
again heard from. He was on
the penal farm. near Little Rock
Ark. Some one from the outside
slipped him a repeating rifle. He
went to a window and shot and
killed one man and fatally
wounded two other guards.
Slaughter was given the rifle last
Sunday week. After shooting
the men mentioned above. he
went to another window, shot
and killed another man. He then
made a rush for the open, but
was stopped by a lifer. He is
wanted in Barren county for rob-
bing the Cave City Bank.

Europe is again in the market
for American grain. And if
Europe buys grain, Europe will

Littleford had just gone with
handful of kindling wood toward
the kitchen, when there was a low,
light tapping at the outside door of
Bill Da!a's room. Dale arose from
his sheepskin-Iined rocker before the

Give a Hand.

In every community there are sue
cessful men-men OF experience, men
of means. In every community there
are young men who might make a sue
cess of life. They have it in them,
all they lack is some one to give
hand. 1t may not be money they
need, perhaps only an interested
friend. Somebody helps whenever a
young man gets started right in any
thing. Somewhere every successful
man got a start by some ones help.
To keep the world moving on an up
ward slope the process must be made
perpetual. Each man, once started
should become starter of others.
And who starts another gets himself
along at a more rapid gait There
is that in helping another that re-
fleets not credit alone to the agent,
but a bent of mind, an outlook on life,
a generosity of soul, that wins way
forward for himself also.-Thrift

TREES BEAUTIFY OUR ROADS
Enthusiasm Displayed All Over coun.
try in Campaign for "Roads of
Remembrance"

Motor travellers all over the coun-
try have stimulated a contagious in
terest in planting trees by the road
sides. The Federation of Women's
Clubs, which was one of the first ma
tional organizations to assist in this
work, has planted many trees along
sections of the Lincoln highway,
writes Victoria Faber Stevenson in
Sinclair's Magazine. Today it is beau
tifying many roads by planting trees
in memory of the men who served in
the World war. In fact, enthusiasm
for roadside tree planting is evident
all over the country in the widespread
interest which is taken in Roads of
Remembrance"
Patriotic and civic organizations,
womens clubs and boy scouts units
are providing miles of roadway with
young oaks and elms. These sturdy
trees, which will perpetuate the men,
DRY of the men who took up arms for
America are also giving the roads
beauty and individuality.
Perhaps the most unique work Of
this character which is reported by
the American Forestry association is
being done in Georgia around the city
of Macon. There the woman's auxil-
larry of the chamber of commerce is
planting a huge cross of trees in hon
or of the men and women who went
to war from their vicinity.
