INTERESTING LECTURE

The illustrated lecture by DR.. j.
]. Clopton, Of Lexington, Tuesday
night on the Episcopal Church
proved very interesting, showing as
1t did the founding Of the Church
in Britain during the early years of
Christianity and also in the United
States. OF the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence thirty-four
of the flfty-six were Episcopalians,
Thomas Jefferson himself being a
member of that faith. Among the
pictures was one showing the bap-
tism of Pocahontas and the first
protestant church built in America,
this being at jamestown, Va.

Mr.. NJ. A. Dunlap, OF jenkins,
Ky, who is connected with the Con-
solidated Coal & Coke Co., sub
scribed for the Mountain Advocate
after having read a chance copy.
Mr.. Dunlay travels a good deal
in connection with his duties and
states that nowhere has he been
made so much at home and received
so much kindly courtesy as in Bar
bourville. It is a graceful compli-
ment we are glad to pass on to our
readers and is one they will appre-
ciate. 1t goes to prove, too, that
Mr.. Dunlap is himself a very cour-

developed means more than all our
mines put together. There are but
$500 pure bred bucks and some
$4,000 fiocks with scrub OF grade
sires. II would be impossible to get
pure bred sires for these fiocks in
the United States but we must pull
for something definite.
The speaker mentioned what a
difference there is in hogs since If
teen years ago. The razor-back has
vanished. The bankers have helped
remake hogs.
Beef cattle of the right kind do
not exist. Scrubs sell for $12 less
than good beef cattle. II conditions
we're reversed unbelievable sums of
money would flow into the banks.
The little fellow cannot buy for
cash and is discouraged. We are
holding sales of pure bred stock at
the Bourbon Stock Yards but are
reaching only a small group. Two
field men will be sent into each ter
ritory to make survey and the bank
ers can see what sort of credit they
can allow so the little fellow may
pay out nationally One thousand
members at $40 per member are be-
ing sought which with other sums
expected will give the movement
100000 for three years. Bigger
bank accounts mean more contented
farmers. II ever rthis country is

Anglo-Saxon population Of these

Speaker said Kentucky cannot reach

ment with out a net work of good
roads. Boys, live stock, better crops
mean much to that end. If the
roads are good the boys are more
likely. to remain on the farms. State
highways constitute a grerat eco
nomic problem. The potential riches
OF Kentucky cannot reach perfect
development without highways and
railroads and the former are as i'm
portant as the latter.
You bankers, in your cooperative
way, can help to solve the problem.
You represent the economic forces
of the state. What we need most is
funds. II we were to urge further
taxation the average taxpayer would
go up in the air, but If we are to

II we don't do 1t we shall remain

loss yearly OF S1O,O00,O00 to farm
ers in vehicles in Kentucky and a
similar loss to auto tires and ma
chimes and to the farmer in being
a total of $3O,OOO,-
900. Put this s3O,OOO,OOO against

BANKERS CONVENTION
SUCCESSFULLY ENJOYS ITSELF

II has been our fate in the past
to describe bankers as awfully hu-
man and Group II of the Bankers
Association which spent Tuesday at
Dishman Springs certainly proved II
There we're miles of smiles, leagues
OF good humored joshing and gem
eral good fellowship which proved
that the task of handling properly
the clean lucre Of the people has
left them with a fine healthy out
look on the world of men.
Rev. A. A. Ford, of the First
Christian Church delivered a beau
tiful invocation.
Judge J. d. Tuggle, who also has
a good gift of oratory tucked away,
brought 1t out in a nice speech of
welcome commencing the Mountains
of Kentucky as the best spot in the
Commonwealth for investment and
urged the bankers of the cities to
turn their eyes to this part of Ken
lucky. The great trouble with the
Kentucky bankers is that they have
not sought out its advantages and
have allowed the East to exploit its
natural wealth.
Mr.. Revell, of the National Bank
of Commerce, New York City, re-
sponded nicely to the far famed well
come of Kentucky.
c. B. Minor, State President and
hailing from Perryville, was severe
with certain "camp followers" who
had dared to criticize his speeches.
His sallies caused much hilarity
from friends and camp followers"
alike. .-..
The speaker paid glowing tri-
butte to country banks-also TO the
hospitality of Barbourvrillle and
Knox County. Speaking of the noun
tains he said the hills are bursting
with coal and the country is "be-
jewelled" as 1t ;were, with splendid
people. He declared for himself
and Group IL their pleasure in be-
ing in Barbourville and Dishman
Springs, "a resort. of which any COM
munity might well be proud. He said
the banker should not only be a
financial leader, but also leader
along lines of educational and re-
ligious development. He advocated
talks by bankers before the public
schools in regard to banking and
banking terms, SO the future depos-
itors of the various communities be
enlightened as to banking methods.
James Speed, editor of the South
ern Agriculturist, spoke on Pure
bred Live Stock. He spoke of the
newer phase in our civilization say
ing the cooperative spirit develops
in groups-citing tobacco and pure
bred live stock as proof. Out of the
group spirit has sprung the Pure
Bred Live Stock Association. Bank
ers have been asked to become mem
bers. Stockyard men, commission
men, dairymen, railroad men, Farm
ers' Bureaus and the Farmers I'm
ion are all striving to develop an
organization by which all interests
may cooperate in solving the prob
lem of better live stock

1t was some dinner and as Pres

vouch for It that he didn't, picking
the chicken bones clean.

ADJUSTMENTS
Maurice Dambois' Recital.

A decidedly novel recital was given
at Masonic Auditorium last evening
by Maurice Dambois. pianist and
cellist.
The program, which comprised cello
and piano solos and a piano concerto
was interpreted in its entirety by the
one musician, with the aid of a Duo
Art piano which reproduced accom-
Faniments and second piano parts
l:eViously recorded by Mr. Dambois.
There may have been some adyan-
taees in this arrangement, for the
Sr1lst Is quoted as saying that "if his
';iceompanist' is unsyinpathetic he
has only himself to blame" However
ms cello necessarily had to adjust it
self to the recorded accompaniment,
and therefore the solo part was de-
pendent on the secondard. a reversed
state OF musical Interpretation. and
one which prevented the players
mood from influencing his selections
The piano records were more effect
i've, though, when used in combina-
tion with another piano. Mr.. Dambois
gave q striking illustration Of the

the Duo-Art. his fingerwork alternat-
ing with the recorded portions on the
same instrument. The piece, "Baga-
telle No. l" was brilliant. with sharp.
loud chords preceding intricate pas
sases of quick runs and chromatic
scales.
AS contrast his second compost
ton. "C.aire de Lune.' which vas for
the cello, was low and v;istfuI. The
theme was as odd and Intriguing as a
Debussy or Cyril Scott selection. and
Mr. Dambois' Interpretation was per-
haps the most appealing Of the even
ing. BoccheTini's "Minuet" and Pop
pers "Arlequin" completed the cello
group.
Ihe program was concluded with
