Mondays Game

The game Monday was called at
2:30 o'clock and large crowd was
present Amman essayed to pitch for
Mt. Sterling, but the strain of the
day before soon told on him and he
was relieved in the sixth inning by
clicks" Wells, who held the visitors
to one score during the remainder of
the game. Dean, pitching for the
Huntington boys, pitched gilt edge
ball at all times and was backed up
by almost perfect support, while the
fielding of the local team was very
inferior to the day before. Hammond
was the only local player that could
hit Dean with any effect, but he GER
tainly did land on the ball, getting a
home run, a three-bagger and two
bagger. The box score follows:

Locals Break Even
With Huntington Nine

The Mt. Sterling Baseball Club
opened the season in this city Sun
day under the new management and
came out victorious over the strong
team representing the Foster Thorn
burg Hardware Co., Of Huntington,
W. Va, by the score of 8 to 2. Both
teams played "Big League" ball and
the exhibition was one of the pref
test and cleanest seen on the local
lots in many a day. The Huntington
boys were held scoreless until the
ninth inning when an error by Jones
in center field enabled them to score
twice. The feature of the game was
the hitting of Jones and the pitching
Of Amman, who allowed the visitors
but three bingles. The box score fol-

Billy Wells Narrowly
Escapes Death

Billy Wells, prominent farmer and
oil magnate, with his young daugh-
ter, narrowly escaped death Friday
morning when the automobile in
which they were riding was struck
by the fast west-bound C. & o. at
Spencer crossing, near this city. The
train was something over two hours
late that day and Mr.. Wells, not
thinking of a train passing at that
hour, did not look up the tracks, but
started across the railroad, when the
rear wheels of his car were struck
by the train. Both Mr.. Wells and his
daughter were thrown from the car,
a distance of several feet and es-
capped practically uninjured. The car
was badly damaged.

Noel Hodges Injured

Noel Hodges, well known insur-
ance man, of this city, together with
his wife and six children, were in an
automobile accident Sunday night,
when their car was wrecked on the
Winchester pike. The car, which
was driven by the sixteen-y -year-old
son of Mr.. Hodges, struck big rock
in the roadway coming down steep
hill. and the boy lost. control of the
machine, which ran into ditch. Mr..
Hodges was the only member of the
party who was hurt and his injuries
are only slight. The car was COM
pletely demolished. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hodges and children had been spend
ing the day in Frankfort and were
returning to their home in this city

BOND ISSUE CARRIES BY M
MAJORITY Of MORE THAN 4 TO I
Will Mean Million Dollars Worth Of Hard Surfaced
Roads for This County and is Considered the Most
Progressive Step Taken in Half Century
Only Three Precincts in Entire County Vote Agains
Proposition With One Tie

AT the Good Roads election held in
this county last Saturday as to
whether Montgomery county was in
favor of $250,OOO bond issue for
the improvement Of roads and
bridges, the issue carried by the
overwhelming majority of 1928, fif-
teen out of 19 precincts voting in
favor of same, while there was a tie
vote in one precinct. The result is
extremely gratifying to good roads
advocates, both in Montgomery
county and in this entire section Of
the state.
The voting of the bond issue
means that the Winchester pike to
the Clark county line will be con-
structed Of hard-surfaced material
within the near future, probably this
summer, while the Owingsville pike
to the Bath county line, and the Ca
margo pike to the Menefee county
line will be constructed with similar
material in the near future. After
the constructing Of these roads the
county will be relieved of their per-
manent upkeep and the money here
tofore spent on them will be spent on
the other thoroughfares of the coun-
ty, thereby directly benefiting every
taxpayer of Montgomery county. The
building Of these roads will mean
greater prosperity for Mt. Sterling
and Montgomery county and it is
confidently expected that it will only
be matter of few years until we
have as good roads as can be found

MARKED REDUCTION IN
ALL BUICK MOTOR CARS

Attention is called to the adver-
tisement of the Mt. Sterling Garage,
appearing in this issue, in which the
new prices on Buick automobiles are

$500 to 5000 less than the old ones.

have actually commenced their cam.
paign and secured even as much az
one subscription. We have MANY
more prizes than active workers and
the valuable premiums are actually
going begging for lack of active
workers to compete for them.
Those who first awaken to their
opportunity and commence their
campaigns will certainly be well re-
paid for their spare time efforts. If
You would like to secure an auto
mobile or one of the other splendid
prizes without cost and are willing
to devote a little spare time to this
work, then we invite you to enter as
an active candidate.
Many candidates think that every-
one on the list except themselves are
making an active race, and they do
not go ahead because they think
they haven't much of a chance. But
only few have thus far started.
Even though they may have votes to
their credit, that does not necessarily
signify that they are trying. Our
subscribers are sending in hundreds
OF the coupons from the papers and
the store votes and in many in
stances are voting for candidates
who have not even attempted to try.
All the prizes are given to those
getting the most votes and votes NAV
b clipped from the paper and are
given free on new subscriptions, back
subscriptions and renewals, on print
ing and also on purchases at several
different stores, a list of which is
given elsewhere in this issue.
Votes may be deposited in the bal
lot box at The Advocate office or
they may be mailed direct to the
Campaign Manager. Be sure to de-
post the 50-vote coupons before the
date of expiration thereon.
To enter, simply send your name
and address to the Campaign Man,
ager, stating you wish to enter and
he will send you supplies and in
structions. Or, better still, come to
the office and have a personal talk
with him. You may enter your own
name or you may nominate some
friend.
The campaign is divided into four
periods and extra vote offers will be
made during each period. The larg-
est offer will be made during the
first period and the votes will de-
crease as the campaign nears the
end. The first period closes June
21st.
During the first period 250,OOO
extra votes will be given free on each
and every "Club of SIS" worth of
"new" subscriptions turned in for
or by a candidate. In addition, TWEEN
ty prize ballots, the first for l.
100000 Extra Votes, the second for
950,000 extra votes and so on down
will be given to the twenty candi-
dates who turn in the greatest num-
ber of both old and new subscrip-
lions before June 21st.

WASHINGTON, Nov. II

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
|-(By The Associated Press.)
Proposals to be made by
the American delegation to
the conference on limitation
of armament apparently con-
stitute the only suggestion prepared
In advance as to ways and means OF
curtniling naval expenditures without
sacrifice by any power OF national Sc
curity. Great Britain - not known
20 nave worked out any formula: ia.
pan is awaiting tho American z
tons; France and Italy are more
concerned with land forces than
navies.
Two days before tho conference
opens the American proposals re-
main a closely guarded secret.
This much is known: a definite for.
muia for agreement on Limitation OF
naval forces has been reached by
Secretary Hughes and his colleagues
OF the American delegation. The for
mula Is ar entirely practical one. II
docs not attempt to TX a common
denominntor by which all navies
could be divided and each power as
signed by agreement tho number OF
units II could maintain with world APP
oroval. The American suggestion will

Significance of merchant marines and
OF other concrete. existing or planned
weapons and auxiiinries OF naval war
fare.
Also II is regarded by those who
framed the suggestions as n bold
stroke for laval reduction; possibly
too boid for immediate reduction.
Warrington is filled with conjecture
as to what the American delegation
will propose. The explanation given
by Admiral Baron Kato. head OF the
Japanese delegation. of Japan's atti
tude in entering the conference and
her willingness to cut down her ma
val program under agreement ha,
added to the speculation.
Baron Kato stated that Japan WA
willing to reduce her now famoui
eight battleship and eight battl,
cruiser feet program. To that SC
quence is to be added n third eight
rs under japanese standards of ma
val obsolescence n capital ship a a
first line life OF but eight years.
The American navy has no dein-
lite objective or program of replace
ment for maintaining any fixed force
on a fixed ratio OF battleships and bat
tie cruisers.
The old British two power standard
prior TO 1914, went by the board with
the German fleet. Britain is not to-
kday building any capital ships. Four
new battle cruisers have been auth
orized but they have not been laid
down.
The exact status OF Japan's new
craft is not known. The fleet ratio.
Baron Kato said. would not be
achieved before 1928.
The American program OF 1916. de-
ferred during the war and greatly
slowed down this year by limited ap-
preparations. is in much the same
status. It includes six battleships and
six battle cruisers. Keeis of all have
been laid. Actual work on construc-
ton of one b~attleship, tho Massachu-
sets. has been stationary at about 4
per Q for several months. Work
on the other five range from 10 to
