Berea Notes
B. Willi,, who died at Ua
home in Crab Orchard. Ky.. April 9,
was a native of Madison county and
the last of a law family. He was
born December, 1848, and was the
\vungest of eleven crJTJien of John
and Sasan Baker Willis, pioneer citi-
zens of Madison county. It is worthy
of notice and to be regretted that with
his death the name of his immediate
family becomes, extinct ! • ■ illy, a
name that has boon in Madison coun-
ty from its eailiest history.
He was educated in the public
schools of this county and at the old
Madison Seminary. In early life he
engaged in farming- Later he be-
came a deputy sheriff, and then thf
chawi Bat duties of that important
office efficiently and honorably.
H - was twice appointed postmaster
of Richmond by" President Cleveland,
holding that office for eight vears. In
this position, as in all others, he was
faithful and pleased the patrons of
He was a kind father, an affection-
ate husband, a loyal friend and an
upright, progressive citizen. He re-
ceived all the degrees of Masonry
from Entered Apprenticeship to
Knights Templar in the local bodies,
always manifested a marked interest
in the progress of, as well as a belief
in. the usefulness of the order. He
was buried in the Richmond cemetery
with the beauitful service of the or-
der, the Templars forming a guard of
honor.
Thus as another has passed over
the Silent River, reminding us of our
approaching fate, be it
R.'.-olved, by us,
1st. That the death of our Brother
and friend is a positive loss to Ma-
sonry, to society, his community, but
above all to his devoted wife .and
children.
2nd. That we will revere his mem-
ory and imitate his virtues.
3rd. That we extend our sincere
sympathy to his family in their great

our records, and a copy M-nt to the

Flag Raising
Monday morning at ten o'clock
there was a flag raising at Caldwell
High School building in this city. A
large number of citizens and patrons
and the scholars of the various de-
partments gathered in the auditorium
where patriotic songe were sung ami
oratory flowed.
First on the program was the sing-
ing of "America," by the entire audi-
ence standing, the school orchestra
playing the accompaniment. The mu-
sic was under the direction of Mi .s
Cynthia Davison, and the manner in
which the school children sang was
most inspiring and elevating to every
one.
Prof. Lewie, who has charge of the
music at the Brooks-Lewis revival at
the First Christian church, was pres-
ent and thrilled and charmed the au-
dience by singing two solos. He has
a fine voice and is a splendid singer.
At the conclusion of the songs.
Prof. D. W. Bridges, superintendent
of the school, in a few well chosen
words, introduced Hon. W. B. Smith,
the veteran lawyer and splendid citi-
zen, who knows more of the history
of this city and county than any liv-
ing man. More than three-quarters
of a century ago, Mr. Smith attended
school as a boy in a small building
where our present magnificent school
building now sits in majestic pride.
He told of conditions as they then ex-
isted. There were only boys attend-
ing school in the old days when he
was a school boy. There was always
a bunch of switches in the school
and the old fashioned schoolmaster
did not "spare the rod and spoil the
child." Mr. Smith made an excellent
speech and was roundly applauded.
He concluded his remarks by reciting
the poem of John I). Whittier, dedi-
cated to the little red school house.
At the conclusion of the speech-
making, the children formed in line
and passed out of the building very-
orderly and lined up in front of the
great institution of learning where
they sang "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner," with vim and vigor. As they
sang the last stanza of the National
air, a large American flag was un-
furled over the dome of the school
house and floated serenely in the gen-
tle breezes, amidst the vociferous ap-
plause of the children and visitors.
After the flag raising the scholars
and visitors returned to the auditor-
ium where Prof. S. S. Myers, teacher
of voice culture at the Normal School
delivered an oration on "The Battle
of Gettysburg " Prof. Myers was in
the battle of Gettysburg, his parents
residing there at the time the climax
was reached in the great battle that
area fought between the North and
South and the destiny of the nation
was settled. He was but a mere boy,
an inquisitive boy at the time, and he
give a glowing description of the
haul fought battle and the impression
it made upon him. His speech was
greatly appreciated by all who heard
it.
moments later.
At half past eight o'clock Mr. Bow-
man called at the drug store of H. L.
Perry & Son and bought two ounces
of carbolic acid, stating at the time
he had a crippled mule and wanted
the acid to burn out the wound in the
hoof. He got shaved at one of the
barber shops and went home about
ten o'clock. When he arrived at home
he conversed with his wife, and in the
course of his remarks he said: "Well,

I don't see how he did. I bid as low-
as I could afford to take it, but he got
College Hill.
A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at College Hill, Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock. About one
ii'i.idred farmers, their wives and
daughters, attended this meeting and
great interest was manifested. The
meeting was addressed by Mr. Ben
Hoggs. County Farm Agent, and Mr.
C C. Thomas. The people of the Col-
lege Hill neighborhood are wide-a-
wake, active and progressive citizens. I act, he returned and
ence to the new library building that
is to be constructed at the Normal
School.
He then got some paper, and after
some figuring and writing, he arose
anil left the room, and his wife think-
ing he was going back up town to the
garage, arose and locked the door.
He walked a short distance to the
corner, where tw o men were standing,
and conversed briefly with them.
Then he returned to the house. When
his wife admitted him, he walked
through the family room into the din-
ing room, anil before they ever sus-

Important Work
Under normal conditions the work
of the county agent has been fraught
with splendid results but under pres-
ent conditions the value of this work
can hardly be estimated. It has been
a hard matter to get our farmers to
fully appreciate the value of the free
bulletins that are constanly being is-
sued by the Department of Arigcul-
ture, and the county agent is not only
bringing the facts contained in these
bulletins to the attention of the farm-
er but he is making demonstrations
that are convincing the farmer that
scientific and intensive farming pays.
Now that the nation is facing a great
crisis that will likely result in an un-
usual demand for food products, the
suggestion and aid of the county-
agent will be invaluable. It is the
desire of the Climax-Madisonian to
co-operate in any way possible with
the agents and rc|K rts of the work
being done will be given prominent
space in the paper, as we feel that it
is an important work and should re-
ceive more general recognitionn.

He was the eldest .-on of Mr. Jones

ever ready to help those in need and
stood with outstretched hand and

He was a member of the Odd Fel-

of this city, and a member of the

Compares Address of
Wilson With Lincoln 's
Ottawa, Canada.— "President Wil-
son's message is one of the most im-
portant contributions since Lincoln's
time to the literature of freedom and
■ Sir Wilfrid Laurier de-
in a statement made here. "It
is greatly inspiring to the free people
of the world w ho are battling for the
rights of civilization against tyranny,
Prussianism.
"The entrance of the largest dem-
ocracy of the world into the arena
completely extinguishes any fleeting
hope of v.ctory that Germany may
have foolishly held, and if, as I hope
and believe, it tends to shorten the
conflict, it is a great humanitarian
act.
"To the Canadian people the event
is one of very considerable import-
ance. It means that the people of
fight shoulder to shoulder in a com-
mon cause and from that we may
naturally expect closer friendship and
sympathies with all the benefits that
will flow therefrom.
"The President's action will carry
all the more weight because it was
not dictated by sudden impulse. It
was the deliberate expression of what
had become an imperative duty. Like
Lincoln in the summer of 1862 who,
tho resolved to abolish slavery, calm-
ly submitted to many clamorous re-
bukes from impatient abolitionists
and waited for the most opportune
moment, the President also waited,
and he has now the proud satisfac-
tion of unanimous support from all
sections of the American people, the
German element not excluded.
"As to the language of the Presi-
dent it is on the highest level, both
in thought and in expression, and is
simply beyond praise."
The pass word in this market is
"Topnotch Quality." You will nev-
er be disappointed with any pur-
chase in this shop. A telephone

ous consideration as a personal

How to Help Nail
Up a Church Door
Nail No. L — Do not go to church
when the weather is too warm — a
is not beneficial to
spiritual health
will suffer through sympathy.
Nail No. 2. — Do not go to church
when the weather is too cold; there is
no money — except for the doctor — in
church drafts. Remember, that peo-
ple are more liable to get cold in a
church than elsewhere.
Nail No. 3.— Be sure to be late. If
you do not impress people with your
importance, you may with your ap-
pearance. On that account take a
front seat, scowl because the service
has begun — then pray.
Nail No. 4. — Take an interest in
everything but the service; the minis-
ter and choir will attend to that, that
is what they are there for. Take suf-
ficient interest to notice all mistakes
and tell them to everybody.
Nail No. r . — Be sure to put the
smallest piece of money possible in
the plate. This will give you the
right to find fault to an unlimited
extent.
Nail No. 6.-Don't fail to forget the
hour of meeting for church work.
This is very encouraging to the min-
ister. Find fault with everything
that has been done and refuse to do
anything because you are not at the
head of it, or, at least, have not been
consulted. If the venture is a suc-
cess, then say: "Look what we have
lone." If it is a failure, say, "I had
nothing to do with it."
Nail No. 7.— Be sure and tell the
minister his faults. Let it be known
far and w ide that he will not compare
favorably with his predecessor; it will
surely come to his ears. Humble
him if you can; he may be getting
proud.
Nail No. 8.— On no account send
the minister word when you are ill.
He should know all about it. It is
enough to send for the doctor.After he
calls tell him you were ill, and how-
he neglected you.
Nail No. 9. — Arrange all of your
baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc.,
without consulting the minister. He
has no right to make engagements
that will conflict with your arrange-
ments, and if he has made them, he
should break them — for you.
CANDIDATE CARDS.
With the election only a few
months off it is high time that the
candidates were shelling the woods.
Ought to put up a few cards on trees
fence posts and other public places.
But what is better than this is put
your ad. in this paper and tell the
people what you intend to do for
them. The people want to know for
what you stand. If you are standing
only for the office and salary, then
they don't want you. Such a man is
high at any old salary.

At the Front
Since the advent of the United
States into the great world war, much
courage and renewed vigor seems to
have permeated the ranks of the al-
lied forces, and in France, England
and Russian great ovations and
country by
ed in a death struggle to free them-
selves from the cruel, ruthless and in-
human grasp of autocratic power and
force. A number of South American
countries — nearly all of them — since
the proclamation of war issued by
this country, have severed diploma-
tic relations with Germany, and those
countries which stand out as neutrals,
according to reports, are most friend-
ly to the United States and fully rec-
ognize the justiceness of her acts.
Messages coming from abroad, state
that the American flag is now being
carried by the armies of France and
floats serenely from many buildings,
those gallant soldiers and noble peo-
ple, who have fought so bravely to
maintain thier honor and integrity
against the inquisition of cruel force.
Sprains and Strains Relieved.
Sloan's Liniment quickly takes the
pain out of strains, sprians, bruises,
and all muscle soreness. A clean,
clear liquid easily applied, it quickly
penetrates without rubbing. Sloan's
Liniment does not stain the skin nor
clog the pores like mussy plasters or
ointments. For chronic rheumatic
aches and pains, neuralgia, gout and
lumbago have this well known reme-
dy handy. For the pains of grippe
and following strenuous work, it
gives quick relief. At all druggists

Women Voters in Ark.
Of the many recent grants of par-
tial suffrage to women, that in Ar-
kansas is most curious. There, by a
bill just signed, women are to have
viual rights with men in primaries.
They must pay poll tax, swear to sup-
lort party candidates, and otherwise
possess the qualifications exactly of
male voters.
The logic of this seems a trifle
strained, particularly the requirement
that the newly enfranchised women
must swear to support their party
nominees, which they may not do
without the right to vote at elections.
Yet they gain a practical advantage,
for the primaries in that State are.
in effect, the elections. Last fall
.'ote for presidential electors was:
Democratic, 112,000; Republican, 4H,-
KK); for Governor, Democratic. 122,-
100; Republican, 43,000.
Thus, the women who participate
in the primaries and exercise their
lew rights will actually aid in deter-
nining the personnel of officialdom,
mi it seems reasonah.- to expect that
ifter a short itme full suffrage will
•ome to them. In any case, this
'oreak in the "solid south" with its no-
torious prejudice against woman suf-
frage, is an indication of the growth
of the movement to enfranchise wo-

The practice of planting seeds and
performing similar farm operations
according to superstitious "signs" or
according to the moon are not based
n facts, according to the College of
Agriculture. This statement is made
following inquiries and the annual
publication of such information in al-
manacs and other printed matter
widely distributed during the winter
and spring mcnths. It will be a hard
matter to convince some of our citi-
zens that potatoes shuold be planted
at any other time than in the dark of
the moon.
According to I-oon M. Eastbrook,
chief of the Bureau of Crop Estim-
ates, the acreage planted to early po-
potato section of the South. In spite
ti mated to be 188,000 as compared
with 161,000 in 1916 — an increase of
about 17 per cent. This estimate is
based upon the reports to the Truck
Crop Specialist of the Bureau of Crop
Estimates from Virginia, \orth Car-
olina, South Carolina, Florida, Ala-
bama and Texas, the principal early
potatoe sections of the South. In spite
of the high cost of seed, plantings are
increased in practically all sections
except in Eastern Texas.
If some farmers put the same in-
terest in their farms as they do in
other people's business, they would
be better off.
Scott T. Miller, of Chillicothe, Mo.

E. B. Welch, of Morton's Cap, Ky.,
sold an aged 1" hand jack for $400;
a four year old 16 hand jack for $325

In Clark county, Columbus Reg-
land bought a pair of mules for $270,
and X. A. Adams sold a pair of heavy
mules to Arnold Brookshire for $340.
Heavy mules are in demand and the
high prices are causing many sales
to be made and work mules are

MAYOR'S VETO.
Richmond, Ky., April 14, 1917
W. E. Rlanton, City
Richmond, Ky.
Sir:—
U nder Section 3503, Ky. Statutes, I
hereby return to you without my ap-
proval, the Ordinance passed by the
Board of Council at the regular meet-
ing held April 5, 1917, placing a
License Tax of $50.00 per year on
laundries doing business in this city.
I am clearly of the opinion that the
people of Richmond should have the
privilege of having their work done
as cheaply as possible and wherever
they choose, as competition is the life
of trade. I am also of the opinion
that this tax would be class legisla-
tion and tend to build up a monopoly.
For these reasons I hereby veto said
ordinance.

Spoke to Good Crowd
Thos. H. Collins, of Madison coun-
ty, spoke here to a good crowd Mon-
day afternoon on "Farming and the
Importance of County Farm Agents."
He made a capital talk and told of
the many advantages to be derived
from having a man in the county to
demonstrate farming in a practical
and up-to-date way— a man who had
tudied the subject and given much
time to the practice. The Federal
government pays half the salary of
800. Mr. Collins gave reasons why !.•'
county could afford to be without one
and seems to have impressed his
hearers that he was right. The fol-
lowing committee was appointed to
present a petition to the farmers of
court for an allowance of $!KH) a year
for a county agent: Messrs. W. P.
Grimes, W. P. Givens and W. O. Wal-
ker. — Stanford Interior Journal.

Richmond, Ky.
Sir:—
I nder Section 3503, Ky. Statutes, 1
hereby return to you without my ap-
proval, the Ordinance passed by the
Board of Council at the regular
ing April 5, 1917, placing a
Tax of $15.00 per day on itinerant
Peddlers and Merchants taking or-
ders by sample for future delivery.
This Tax being prohibitory, I am
clearly of the opinion that it is un-
constitutional and against public pol-
icy and would also involve the city in
endless litigation in the way of dam-
age suits, etc.
I h ive discussed th.
various attorneys and the
of opinion is that the ordinance will
not stand the test of the law. For
the e reasons I hereby veto said or

Chalmers Sets New Mark
In Flexibility and Economy
i. pee J is a matter of state and city laws — not of motors. Why,
racing or semi-racing machines which fret and fume at legal limits? Why
is not the car of wide flexibility and moderate top speed the sensible car to buy?
In Chicago, during the 24 hours from noon March 26 to noon March 27 a
Chalmers 7-passenger stock touring car set a new mark for flexibility and
economy. It traversed the dense "loop" traffic of Chicago, using high gear
only, without stop of motor, attained a total of 5S6.8 miles and reeled off 14
miles to every gallon of gas. The Contest Board of the A. A. A. certifies to
as perfect condition at the end of

there been hills to climb it would
have shown equal capacity there.
And this car can be bought for
a price several hundred dollars
less than others that have shown
no such flexibility or city econ-
omy.
Here is a car capable of highest
cane speed. That operated perfect-
ly on high gear even from a stand-
ing start at a traffic officer's signal.
That ran like a watch for 24 hours
and could have run an indefinitely
longer time. That made the start-
lingly economical figure of 14 miles
to the gallon of gas. That was in
