Y this time next week
the Carlisle Fire Com

the preparations from
- its carnival which
win start in the evening. Ger
tainIy there could not be a more
deserving group of men to
whom you could give the Oftimes
spOken-of hearty cooperation.
They always need 1t, and par
ticularly so when they are max
ing one big concentrated drive
for funds with which a part of
their debt is paid and new
equipment is bought Some Of
the old and favorite features are
being repeated, like bingO, and
the blanket and basket booths,
but there are some new things
this year. Some things to glad
den the hearts of the housewife,
should they be lucky. Children
will again have a good time, for
there are four different amuse-
ments for them. A shiny new
Chevrolet car will be waiting for
a driver, too. A triple high dive
will be the free amusement each
evening. So, when the lights
and the flags are up, and the
band begins to play, many from
town and the surrounding cOun-
try will be found vending their
way to the carnival ground for
their annual round of fun. and
for their annual chance to help
a group of deserving men, who,
at all times have your interest
in their hearts and hands.

0VERT0N BATTLES
FLOOD BILL CHANGE
Acts to Remove Amendments
Voted by House for $272,.
100000 Measure.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
A move to rip House amendments
from his s272 100000 Mississippi flood
control bill was started today by Sen
ator Overton. Democrat, of louisiana.
The House yesterday approved the
measure designed to check water raw
ages in the lower reaches OF the great
valley, but made changes unacceptable
to its author and the House Flood Con-
troll Committee.
With the bill back in the Senate,
Overton sought support in his effort
to remove amendments which would
require localities to furnish land and
rights of way and which authorized 26
reservoirs on Western tributaries of
the Mississippi.
Overton and Representatives Whit
tington, Democrat, of Louisiana and
Driver and Mcclellan, Arkansas Demo-
Gratis, said the measure with the right
of-way amendment by Representative
Jenkins, Republican. of Ohio was un-
workable. Local interests. they said
already have contributed $4,000, ,000
over the last SO years to levee con-
struction and cannot pay the costs.
1T looks like they want to pay the
Government for destroying our prop
erty," said Mcclellan. 1T Is ridicu-
lous."
Should the Senate fail to concur in
the House amendments, the measure
will be sent to conference, where its
sponsors hope to restore 1t to Its origi-
nal form.

gan Duty. superintendent for the Rit-
ter Lumber Co. at its Leatherwood
plant in Perry County. KY. wes in .
critical condition at q hospital here
today, suffering from approximately
80 buckshot wounds.
Duty, who told authorities ne was
shot from ambush Thursday about
noon. lost the sight Of one eye in the
attack.
A native of Dickinson County and
q former candidate for sheriff, Duty
had only recently gone to Leatherwood
and declared he did not know his as
sailants or any cause for the attack.

in the bushes some 500 yards from
the highway and that they suddenly
opened fire on him. He fell. but two
of his companions succeeded in carry
ing him to safety. They placed him
in an automobile and brought him
