After Dinner Trick S

No. 10O-Coin Appears in Empty Box
A matchbox is shown empty b. slid
ing open the drawer. The drawer is
closed, and when re opened half dol
lar is found inside.
Before performing the coin is wedged
between the top of one end of the
drawer and the inside of the box Thus
when the drawer is pushed open the box
appears empty. By simply sliding the
drawer back in the coin falls into the
drawer. and thus makes its appearance
when the box is again opened.

not completed.
Seventy-five hundred miles were
completed after the first of july.
These are the statistics of federal aid
only, the bureau says, and doubtless
they will approximate the whole
amount of new work done in the Unit
ed States during the year.
According to the bureau, there was
a grand total of $500, 900, 900 spent on
highway construction and repair in the
, United States in 1921 by the fedora
government and the states. An est
mate of the derivation of this sun
shows that 4S per cent of the total
expenditure was derived from local
bonds and county, township and dis
| trict taxes, appropriations and assess
ments. Thirty-three per cent was de-
rived from state and federal sources!
and only 10 per cent was derived from
the taxation of motor vehicles. OF
| the $420,000,000 which it is estimated
was expended for construction, thu
| local subdivisions raised more thai
one-half, and motor vehicles wei
charged with but seven per cent.
| On Jan. 1, the Bureau of Publ
Roads had available s127,771,1 26 70
work on the 1922 program, and up t

this week:

most business men are agreed that 1t

And finally there is the bonus bill
already referred to. In whatever form
it becomes law and however 1t may be
sugar coated, it means an increase OF

these are the two things that business
men are most afraid of. 1t is not sur

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS
OF LAWRENCE COUNTY

We would like to have some Sunday
school news from all over the county,
and am very much interested in
Magisterial District No. 8, which in
cludes East Fork, Cat and Dry Fork
precincts. We hope to have a good
Sunday school In every neighborhood
In the precincts above mentioned.
Hope the parents will attend the Sun
day school and not only attend, but
take an active part In the work and
no one should think of letting denom-
national lines be drawn in Sunday
schools. We hope to have one or more
district conventions In our district this
year and they can be held anywhere
the people want them.
We had good report last year,
Can't we beat 1t this year?
Say, fathers and mothers, IL we
want our children to reverence God
and the laws OF our country, we must
educate them to this end say you
can train children away from crime
much easier than you can drive them
with the law.
Some times we hear teachers say
just can't interest my class at all
Teacher. don't get discouraged. Some
times It takes Billy Sunday weeks tc

immigration Needs Restriction.

Lillian Russell, famous actress now
retired, a woman of ability, returned
recently from a tour of Europe. The
object of her trip was to investigate
the situation as to emigration to the
United States. The report she makes
is alarming. She advises shutting off
immigration almost entirely for sew
-eral years. She found vast hordes of
undesirable people from all nations
planning to come here They are very
largely class that will undoubtedly
lower the standard of American citi-
zenship-morally, mentally and ply
sically.
Already the United States has suf-
Tered irreparably from this cause. Most
of our criminals are foreigners. The
greater part of our strikes are started
and fostered by the socialists and an
archists from other countries. The use
every instance.
Our course in immigration matters
Is like we find it in many other things
we can not stick to the policies of
George Washingtons time. We must
adjust ourselves to conditions. The
world is growing and changing con-
stantly. We can not adhere to the
course Of our fathers like the Chinese
did for thousands of years. Our posi-
ton in the world is very different from
what 1t was a century ago, or a half
century, for that matter. We must be
alive and ready to adjust ourselves to
new situations.

cerned, are worthy of admission to the

GOOD ROADS IN MAGIsTERIAL
DISTRICT SIX.

Just a little talk on the subject Of
roads in Magisterial District No. 6,
made up of the East Fork. Gait and
Dry Fork precincts. 1t has been or
,dered by the Fiscal Court that each
voting precinct is to have an equal
part OF the road and bridge funds each
year. Not knowing just what that
amount is just now but ! can assure
the people that the Fiscal Court Is
trying to stop every expense that Is
possible. AS Lawrence county covers
so much territory and has such a lit
tie income that no Magisterial District
can build or do much road work with
out the peoples help first by giving
right of ways, then by adding some
free labor 10 It. Are the people will
ing to do that. have promised TO do
my best to help any part OF my dis
tIict where the people are trying them
selves to build better roads We have
some overseers appointed. Shall we
have others appointed? The County
Judge is to go over the road. Make
up your mind and tell him what you
want, Tell your Gneighbor on both
sides of you and let them tell some
body else and assure you that the
will of the people will be my WILL |
am SO years old and the overseer on
my road asked me If / would work the
road. said yes II / don't work don't
try to get anybody else to work and
am going TO save every dollar of the
county's money that is possible to go
on the roads. We have five road ma
chimes and eight Magisterial Districts.
So If you have one OF them you had
better use 1t before someone else hauls
1t off. ! hope the people are willing
to put up their best fight there is In
them for roads.

,Twenty-four more Federal Judges
are provided for in bill that passed
Congress last week. Kentucky has
been playing the game for years OF
adding more Circuit Judges and today
the state has dozen or more that do
not put in half their time holding
court. End this thing of creating new
offices and enlarging the salaries of
those already created will continue
