Kentucky Pushing
Highway 80

Kentucky has apparently start
ed to make something out of
Route 80. This highway traverses
that tsate from point near Elk
horn City to the Mississippi Riv-
err. Entering Virginia, the road
connects with Route IL near
MeadoWview.
The Kentucky Highway Com
mission is having $4,000 special
maps of Route 80 prepared for
distribution. This map is gayly
colored and represents the places
of interest with pictures. The
most prominent attraction featur
ed on the map is the Breaks.
All of Route 80 in the state of
Kentucky is in excellent repair.
Not so much can be said of that
section in Virginia. The stretch
from Council, in Buchanan coun-
ty, to Honaker is especially poor.
However, it is expected that the
state will soon rebuild that Sec
ton.

Things!
BY E. r. B.

Joe Forish has, in young Don
aid, an observant son, gifted with
swift and certain way of COM
ing to a conclusion The little fel
low, wanting a haircut the other
morning, was making a clamor
and uproar to rouse Victor VAN
over from his bed. Someone ask
ed, Don't you know that Victor
is the sorriest fellow in the whole
country" Donald came back,
well, I believe he is ONE of the
sorriest."
Then there is Icen SilcoX, who
has just about forsaken the Horse
Shoe to tend the hardware on
West Main Street. He made the
change not without few fond
and lingering looks behind. He
feared that in his new location
he'd miss the fellowship of some
of his old customers, w h o
wouldn't possibly want anything
in the hardware line. But near the
end of his second day in the new
location, into the store ambled
Marve and North Dakota Blair
both in rare condition. Dakota
approached Icen, with his head
cooked somewhat warily. Just as
he got within confidential dis.
lance, he held up two fingers
with his usual request, Eff you
can and will, old friend" Through
long series of experiences Icen
knew that North Dakota was try
ing to put the bite on him for two
dollars. He read the boys a lee
ture on the proper way of secur-
ing credit at the bank. Marve led
the way out, hurting behind his
customary wrathful declaration
that he'd never trade another
cent at that place. Icen turned
happily to other business, know
ing that old relations had been
speedily renewed.
There is alos the story of COL
lege professor who gave a special
examination to a football player
who hadn't made the grade on
chemistry. The faculty had pass
ed a rule that all athletes Just had
to make grade of at least fifty
per cent. The professor, after ex-
animation, announced that the
man of muscles had passed. After
the season was over, the coach
asked something about the spec
ial examination. The professor
said that he had asked two ques-
tons. The first was, what is the
color Of blue vitriol?" The ath-
iete answered Red, and that
was wrong. The second question
was, what is the formula for
water?" The players answer was
II don't know That answer was
correct; he didn't know. So the
score was fifty percent.
