Movies in Our
Own Theatre.

The Herald favors a plan to install
a suitable picture machine outfit in
our municipal theatre, the Grantland.
We favor this being done at public
expense but if that is not advisable,
at private expense, that is, suscrip-
ton. And we favor prompt steps be-
ing taken.
Once or twice a week, perhaps, the
Grantland could stand a good movie.
We mean a real movie with some
thing extra in the way of entertain
ment. Good music and good pic
ture go together. We have the house
and the musical talent. All needed
is the machine equipment.
At Richland Center the municipal
picture show has Melted the city a
small profit as we'll as affording the
best in pictures at nominal prices.
The Grantland could do the same for
Lancaster and quite likely better.
The equipment could be paid for out
of the profits in year or so of OPP

Speeding.

speeding
With the coming of fair weather,
good roads and much motoring the
annual menace from too rapid drly-
ing of automobiles comes also. In
fact it is with us now.
Within the past couple of weeks
several cases of fragrant violation OF
the city ordinances in regard to fast
driving have been noted on the
streets of Lancaster. One case was
on the Platteville road where car
swept south at 40 miles an hour.
Another case on W. Maple street
where a car roared along as fast as
it would go. Both cars were driven
by school boys. One car had girls IN
it.
We must allow something for the
exuberance of youth but not too
much. If someone's child is killed or
some old person MANNED by combl-
nation of a reckless youth and high
powered car a great cry would be
raised.
The time to stop this sort of thing
is before a tragedy happens. School
authorities can do something. city
officials can do more. Both should
issue stern warnings.
No one should imagine, however,
that the law applies only to school
bows. 1t applies to everyone. Some
grown men are worse violators than
the boys

Clean Up and
Paint Up.

The Industrial COMMISSION WllCeo
the Herald urging us to ask the cltl-
zens to clean up the old ruDDlsh
which has accumulated during the
winter. The idea is to get RID OF al
old trash and make things presentaoIe
and healthy for summer.
Lancaster has its faults but beng
dirty and slovenly is not one OF them,
we are glad to relate. Therefore notn-
ing is needed from the Herald TO en-
courage or remind the citizens IN thls
matter. Our little city has an envlaole
reputation for being clean and tldy'
especially around the homes. 1t is a
city without slum' and we nope II
always remains that way. Some OF
the humblest homes here are the
neatest kept and the most attractive
looking. We defy anyone to improve
a condition like this.
Strangers coming into a town see
things we grow accustomed to. The
writer thought the old city hall was
a livery barn the first day he MT
Lancaster. And the other day
stranger rubbed his eyes twice TO
make sure he wasn't in a city OF
$4,000 when he saw the new city nall.
This shows what first impressions
are.
A dingy store front or an unattrac-
tive window display is easy to get &C
customed to. 1t is also dangerous.
Regular customers lose interest and
the stranger gets a wrong impress
sion.
Because the Herald is interested
and wants to see business conditions
here the best we mention this. me
store front and display window can
be either the best or poorest al the
merchant has. Now with the spring
cleanup on is a good time to turn
over a new leaf if you haven't al

HOPkINSV1LLE, KY, September

solons of Princeton established and
decreed that from that day forth any
vehicle that rolled on wheels, from
fast motor car to baby carriage, must
be permanently parked between the
hours of 10 pm. and 5 am. That nat

personal liberty. Henceforth. in the
confines of Hopkinsville. it is illegal
to conduct a public dance. And under

two or three arc gathered together is
public"
