What industry has accomplished
for one of Lexington's neighbors,
the city Of Grenada, IL dramatically
told in a recent article appearing in
Grenada paper.
Citizens of Lexington, now con-
sidering bond issue election to de-
termine the future of industry in
this city, will probably be interested
in factual story of Grenada's in
dustrial development, how it began
and how it has worked out. For their
benefit we repritn from the Grenada
paper the following short story to
show what good judgment the peo-
pie of Grenada employed when they
bonded themselves under the White
Balance Agriculture with Industry
state law to play ball with Messrs,
j. A. and L. L. Goodman, silk hos
iery manufacturers, by issuing city
bonds to erect building in 1887.
Back in 1886 negotiations between
the Goodman brothers and the City
of Grenada started, and were hap
PLY concluded by the issuance of
$4,000 in self-liquidating bonds, the
proceeds from which were used to
build the first of the building now
used by Grenada Industries, Inc
Two additional bond issues to i'm
prove and enlarge the first build
ing have been made. In all, $175,000
in bonds have been issued 5000
have been redeemed, and this leaves
the city's present financial stake
about $4,000. Within few years,
this largely self-liquidating debt
will be entirely extinguished.

BY Henry Willis

The Bourd OF McYor and Alder
man have called an election to find
if the city wants a Garment Factory
The vote will be to authorize them
to issue up to $150,00000 dollars in
bonds for the purpose of providing
a suitable building for the use of
such factory. The State Board for
balancing industry with agriculture
has passed on and authorized the
calling of the election. There are
applications for the building, but
up to now, none have been finally
approved by the Chamber of Com
merce, nor by the City Fathers nor
the State Board, all of which will be
necessary before a contract can be
entered into. Such contract when
made will provide for such rental
as will care for the expense of own
ership by the City, including the
bonds and interest which will be
met IS they become due. Thus at the
end of the period for which the
bonds are issued Usually 20 years.
all the bonds will be paid off and
the city will own the facilities At
that time new contract would be
made for lease or sale as might be
determined then. A factory will aft
ord employment to more than a
hundred ladies and 20 men. If it
prospered the numbers would be in
creased indefinitely. The pay roll
would be $4,000. or more monthly.
If another crash such as 1929 comes,
people will still have to wear shirts
or pants or stockings and the small
plants in small cities will likely sur
vive Suppose the worst. the indus
try fails, still the property would
belong to the city, part of the bonds
paid, and a new contract with a new
industry would be negotiated. The
Board of Mayor and Aldermen and
members of the Chamber of Comm
cree are as good business men as
we have and may be expected to
exercise good judgement. They may

alton of bonds to the best advantage.

THROUGH
HAzEL
EYES.
sy HAZEL sRANNoN

We would like to call your atten-
ton this week to number Of adv
ertIsements which appear in the
Advertiser.
On page 2 is an advertisement
concerning the approaching new
industry bond election in Lexington
on Monday, September, Both.
The unthinking might ask:"Just
where do the returning servicemen
fit into the picture? In all probable
ity any new industry which Lexing-
ton might attract will employ most
ly women, only few men,"
This might be true. But we must
consider the number of opportuni-
ties in business and the professions
which are created when there are
payrolls of good size in the commun-
ity. Such payrolls increase the num-
Der of families in the community
and make for more prosperous con-
ditions for everyone in the entire
section. There are more people to
rent, buy or build homes; more peo-
pie to buy food, clothing, drugs,
cleaning laundry; more people to
seek entertainment and money to
pay for it; more people to own and
service automobiles; more people to
have dental work done, get sick, and
yes, even to die.
So everyone in the community
prospers according to the money in
circulation.
There is little opposition to the
bond issue in Lexington, but we
must not forget to 60 out and vote,
says Mr.. w. A. Ramsey, chairman
of the commity to get the vote out,
in his advertisement on page three.
In lighter vein, but very impor-
tant, is the announcement on page
four of the Lexington High School
schedule for this season, roster of
players and announcement of the
opening game with Sails of the cur
rent season which will be held on
Beall Athletic Field at z o'clock on
Friday night.
Last year the crouds were splen-
did at every one except one where
Ole Man Weather did us wrong. This
year prospects are bright for having
a better team than last year and
your support in attendance Is vitality
needed to inspire the boys and Goa
CHI Schneider to their utmost.
Take tip from the comely little
miss on page and be there Friday
right TO cheer the Purple We've.

''SAL0ME, WHERE SHE DANCED," H
 CApIT0L'S SHOW

The widely heralded "Salmone, Where She Danced, Technicolor production, opened yesterday at the Capitol and will have final show ings tonight.
 The O. Henryesque story, tale of unusual action and intensity, IS based on that strange legend Of the place where Salome danced, the tiny city of Salome, Ariz,, set down in the arid, impatient and briefly glorious diggins, a rug ged detour on the trail of belated Forty-niners who passed that way during the postCivil War period.
 New cinema star, Yvonne de Car To, of Vancouver, B. C., who won Ter role in a contest of more than 2O0O0 applicants, plays one of the most daring screen parts in recent years.
 David Bruce and Rod Cameron have leading roles and attracting special attention are the glamor- ous girls who appear as the seven veils" in Salome's dance, equally blessed as to shapeliness as the star.

 Two sweet but crazy old ladies, Abby and Martha Brewster (Jose- phine Hull and Jean Adai), reside in secluded section of Brooklyn Heights.

Their demise is accomplished by a friendly glass of elderberry wine literally spiked with arsenic.
 The ladies have three nephews. One Teddy John Alexander - daft but harmless lives with them in the belief that he is Teddy" Roosevelt. The other two are Nor timer (Cary Grant) and Jonathan Brewster (Raymond Massey Mor- timer is sane (although a dramatic critic) Jonathan is criminally in sane and in the hands of the law. Mortimer marries Elaine Harper Priscilla Lane) pretty daughter of Rev Harper (Grant MitchelD, next door neighbor of the Auats Brew ster.
 Back in Brooklyn to break the news, Mortimer idly opens the win dow seat in his aunts' living room. It harbors a dead body. Mortified, Mortimer hears his aunts proudly admit that the corpse, MT. Hos- kins', is their own handiwork. Shy ly, the imply that he is not the first
 It would be nuts t1 so on with the remainder of the nutty story, so one should see it and get the nutty finish. It drew laughs from the audiences Saturday night and Sunday and will do the same thing tomorrow night.

In the midst of these problems
and attacks, Chief Kimsey calmly
and deliberately gave Seattle one
of the best police administrations
we have had. 1t is true, and per-
maps because of that, the two ex-
tremes in public opinion, enumer.
ated above, We're dissatisfied. The
so-called "puritans" We're dissatisf-
led because in the administration
OF the Police Department, the
Chief assumed the common sense
attitude of bringing crime and
anti-social activities to minimum.
On the other hand the "open-
towners" were dissatisfied, especi-
ally when they came in contact
with the law and were either
prevented from carrying out their
activities, or paid the penalty.
The officials of the labor move.
ment will remember the Chief as
courteous gentleman, sympathe-
tic with the aims of labor. When
the story of the activities of the
Police Department is finally writ
ten, the period of service of Herb
ert ID. Kimsey as Chief will be
one of the bright spots in the
history of Seattle.
