secretary, and this correspondent,
visited Mr.. MacFarlane, principal Of
Dunbar High School Wednesday, in
his office.
After being told by Mr.. Buckner
Of the many runors which were be-
| ing circulated, Mr.. MacFarlane told
the committee flatly that he was not
dealing in rumors, but that young
lad had come to his attention who
claimed he was member Of the
/ Youth Movement and who according
to Coach Slater, who was called into
the office to make a statement had
been melting the students to strike
during the lunch hour.
Investigation on the part Of the
committee with the person mentioned
led to the belief that he was not
directly responsible for the disturb-
ance, and also to the very definite
fact that he was not member Of
the Youth Movement.
Mr.. MacFarlanc mentionsd that he
was in sympathy with the movement
as long as no violence occurred and
did not personally believe that the
Youth Movement was the instigator
Of the strike. In previous conver-
sation with Mr.. Buckner, Mr.. Mac
FarIane mentioned that he had be-
gun a somewhat similar movement
in Indiana with youths there.
When asked If he had direct
statement to make regarding the at
tempted strike he remarked that he
had no statement to make other than,
There was no strike, no walkout.
After gathering all facts on the sltu.-
alton at Dunbar, the Movement We'd
nesday night issued the following
statement to all the local papers.
"The Dayton Youth Movement
wishes to refute all rumors that have
been circulated regarding the stu
dents attempt to strike at Dunbar

Parker Drug
Among Oldest
Local Firms

Located in the very center of the
retail district of Henderson, Parkers
Drug Store is convenient of access to
residents of the city and county, and
is a popular store for the purchase
of merchandise in it's line. For close to
half a century the store has been To-
cated in virtually the same quarters
where it is now, though several years
ago the entire establishment was re-
modelled and modernized.
w. w. Parker, Jr., is proprietor OF
the business, succeeding his father in
that capacity. 1t receives his entire
time and attention, and his experience
of many years serves to keep the store
on the high plane on which it has al
ways been conducted. His conserva-
tive, yet up-to-date business methods
and the courtesy of treatment of pa
irons has attracted large and grow
ing list of customers.
Mr.. Parker has surrounded himse.f
with a capable and efficient organi-
zation of men and women, who are
thoroughly familiar with all lines car
I'D, and are acquainted with the
rade in this section. The public has
come to know that merchandise from
5aIkn.s Drug Store is dependable
and OF high quality.
parke.'s is the Rexall drug stor5
IN Henderson, and t.-atures the high
grade line of drugs manufactured and
distributed by that organization
throughout the country. Drugs, SUM-
dries, tot ct articles and supplies of all
kinds usually found in drug stores
are handled.
The, store takes great pride in its
prescription department. Only the
.inest and purest drugs are COM
pounded and with the greatest accu
racy and by registered pharmacists
Moreover, the fountain is one of the
most modern and sanitary to be found
anywhere in this section.
The business was established in
1889 by the late w. w. Parker, who
was perhaps as we'll known through
this territory as any druggist who has
operated here in recent years. His
policy of honest dealings and quality
merchandise enabled him to build up
a profitable business. w. w. Parker,
Jr., who was virtually brought up"
in the business, is a chip off the old
block, and is pursuing the policies of
II: management that were part of the
system that brought success to his
father

his conservative dealings and his
wise conduct of operations to the best
interests of customers and firm alike.
His long experience has given him
knowledge of the farm supply business
that fits him in many ways for the
duties of managing this concern, one
of Henderson's largest and most sub
stantial in this field.
In addition to Mr.. Legg, there is
also a large corps of assistants in
every department of the large bust
ness. They possess a general knowl-
edge of their duties and are courteous
to the trade and solicitious of the
we'll being of customers.
Another line the company features
is the agency for the nationally
known Buick automobile. Few motor
cars are better known for perfor-
nance, dependability and service than
Buick. In Henderson and the Hender-
son territory Buick has enjoyed a
growing sales record, and there are
perhaps more automobiles of this
kind in this section than any other
car in the same price range. The COM
pany maintains a large garage and
repair shop, and services Bucks and
all other makes of cars, handled by
mechanics of skill and experience,
capable of giving the best service OBJ
tainable.
