BENTON'S GEESE
AS SAUT0 HORNS
CBy Associated PressJ

Winchester, Ky. Nov. i
Winchester residents have recov-
cred from the shock received
when an automobile was driven
into the city with two wild geese
.perched on the radiator givinS
traffic signals in the honk honk"
peculiar to that species OF water
fowl.
This event marked the second
attempt of Judge J. NJ. Benton
to propagate in Kentucky
strain of wild geese. reputed to
be found in certain sections OF
Missouri.
Geese of this strain. according
to claims advanced by Missouri
owners are imbued with a trait
not to be found in other mem
bers of the species. They are
easily EDUCATED to replace horns
on automobiles and when perch
ed on the radiator OF car, it has
been claimed, such a goose will
keep a vigilant watch over the
traffic and 'honk" at the proper
time, thus relieving the driver of
the necessity for constant vigi-
lance.
Last spring Judge Benton re-
ceived a shipment of eggs from
his uncle, 'Lish' Covington, of
Clay county, Missouri, but efforts
to hatch the eggs were not sue
eeAs6sal.
The appearance of the educat-
ed geese here marked the arrival
of Mr.. Covington himself. who,
determined that the benefits ac-
cruing to automob:lists of Mis-
souri, should not be denied his
Kentucky kinsmen, brought
brace of the famous geese to be
used in establishing the strain in
the Blue Grass.

Judge A. r. Bulnam
And North Street

And North Street
About forty ytars ago when I
was d deputy in the Clerks of
flee. Judge A. r. Burnam was
chairman of the Town Board of
Trustees, an office which in all
respects corresponded with the
Office of mayor now and the town
council here then decided to open
a street running parallel with
Main street and now called
North street. But some of the
land owners over which it was
proposed to run were violently
opposed to its being opened and
asked most eXtravagant sums as
damages and the usual and pro-
fessional ants Of that day came
forward and howled that the
street was not needed and that
there was some unjust scheme in
it and all such stuff and it be-
came NECESSARY to file a c0ndem-
nation suit and invoke the power
of Eminent Domain and Judge
Burnan and the council did not
finch from the full discharge of
that duty. The suit was fled
and set for trial in the county
court and Judge w. c. Miller
(who, by the way, was direct
lineal descendant of Colonel John
Miller aforesaid) was County
Judge and he held that no citizen
OF Richmond was eligible to sit
as juror in the case because
Of his interest. and he ordered
\. B. Deatherage, the then sher-
if. to summons a jury Of free
holders from the County and
outside the corporate limits of
Richmond. and not landowners
therein. It SO happened that a
case to open road, hotlv con-
tested, from POosey was set for
trial on the same day, and there
were many parties to that Road
case, pro and con, and also many
witnesses. and the Sheriff SUM
moned the entire jury panel
from the litigants and witnesses
i'll that Poosey Case. Much con-
1:cting testimony was heard BY
the jury and Judge Burnam
made a notable address to that
jury. I recall a part OF the per-
oration. He said: Gentlemen
OF the Jury, Richmond is your
County seat and I appeal to you
to aid us to make it worthy Of
your great. business-like an ii
progressive County. 1t is now
landlocked from without, also
from within. Go out any cne Of
these broad. we'll built highways
that lead from the County into
Richmond like the spokes on a
wheel to the hub aad you will
find that farmer owns good
land on each side of that high
way and often the same farmer
owns both sides OF the same
and such a farmer OF
farmers will not sell off a lot OF
such land on which some farme-
may want to build home and
live therein and send his sons to
Central University and his
daughters to Madison Female
Institute. But worse than R CHI
mond being landlocked from
without it also landlocked from
within, for we have some splen-
did citizens who own title farms
within the corporate limits Of
Richmond and they will not sell
off lot or open street
through their lands and are rot
required to pay city tax on t cir
lands as decided by the Court Of
Appeals in the Jason Walker
case on the plea that such lands
though within the town are
farming lands. This law is IN
just and unwise for it puts too
much power into the hands OF
the cltlzen who owns such land

JUDGE SULLIVAN ON
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Continues His Interesting Obser-
vations On And Discussion
o. Con1ununity's Life
9Contillued)

The Normal is in no sense a
local school, but a professional
State School, wherein those Of
both sexes who have that ambi-
ton are taught and trained to
become teachers for the schools
of Kentucky of different grades
and?classes; just like a law school
teaches and trains its pupils tc
become lawyers and a medical
school its pupils to become physi-
icains. Our Model High School
was opened and operated for the
benefit OF the Normal School
primarily, for when the Normal
opened in 1907 there was not a
single high school in ali Ken
lucky to which a country boy or
girl could go as a matter Of right.
But Kentucky has advanced much
since then and there are now
one or more such high schools in
every county i'll Kentucky, to
which the county boys and girls
can go to free, and hence the
Board unanimously recently clos
ed the Model High School to save
cost as it was not needed. I'm
der the law the Normal maintains
d Practice school and a Model
School but these are primarily
for the benefit of the Normal just
as clinics in Medical Colleges and
a Moot Court in a Law College
are for their students respective
ly. But this community none the
less gets the benefit of these two
splendid schools and thereby is
getting each year several thou
sand dollars worth of education
free Of any charge, besides the
great many who enter the Nor
NAL School from Madison coun-

Reasonable To Ask The City
To Construct New Streets


Now is it at all unreasonable
for the Normal School, or me IS
Regent. TO ask the city Of Rich
mond to extend Third street to
College street and to open UP
such other streets as will bring
into the market enough lots to
satisfy the home building needs
and demands of the city itself?
| am sometimes advised with by
good citizens of Madison and else
where who want to come and 10
cate here to educate their own
children and are willing to take
in students as roomers if they
could secure suitable lots or hous-
eS.
We do not ask for cent Of
money from you but simply to
open the eyes of the city and ie,
it see how it ian easily grow in
good population and wealth and
by so doing aid the Normal
School to get rooms for the sur
plus student body which our state
dormitories can not accommo-
date. In states like Michigan and
Missouri the local communities
furnish rooms to many thousands
of pupils each year as business
proposition, without state dormi-
tories at ali and in our own state
of Kentucky Bowling Green has
for years done the same thing,
for farmers of Warren county
have bought lots and built large
homes and even small dormitor-
les in Bowling Green and taken
in pupils as roomers and at the
same time educated their own
children. So open up Richmond
and let others come in and do
what is needed, as other cities do
