Deal Off. City Council Unwilling To Grant a 10 Cents Fare To New Company. It begins to look as if Somerset will have to do without street car service until the suits against the Utilities Company are settled. A deal was on between the company and local people whereby the cars would resume operation, new cars purchased and the line extended to the shops. This deal is now off. A few members of the City Council have again blocked the deal, notwithstanding the fact that a majority of the people of Somerset are in favor of a 10 cents fare in order to get the cars in operation. At an informal meeting of the Council held last week with those who proposed to buy the line the matter was thoroughly gone into and it was shown that the cars could not operate with less than a 10 cents fare. Two members of the Council, Mr. Day and Mr. Pumphrey, committed themselves as in favor of the 10 cents fare, but Councilmen Norfleet, Haynes and Silvers were not ready to say what they would do. Councilman Cox was not present. The Mayor is also against a 10 cents fare, is it said. Those who were figuring on buying the line did not hope to make any big returns on their investment but were making the purchase in order to run the line to the shops and to give the people of Somerset and Ferguson transportation facilities. The deal is off unless the City Council agrees unanimously to give the new company a 10 cents fare. Somerset business people should interest themselves in the matter. If the cars do not soon begin operation it might mean that Somerset will lose certain big improvements that are expected to be made soon. At Danville. The Danville Advocate has the following to day about Dr. Gilbert Glass, an old Somerset boy, who is attending the Young People's Conference of the Presbyterian Church in Danville: Dr. Gilbert Glass, Executive Secretary of the Committee on Young People's Work in the Southern Presbyterian Church, a former Danville boy, arrived last night. He came hearing greetings from the Virginia Conference which is meeting in the Univ. of Virginia at Charlottesville, Va. Dr. Gilbert Glass and his committee are doing wonders in promoting the work among the young people of the Southern Presbyterian Church. They have fostered ten different conferences in ten different states which have been or will be conducted during the summer. Dr. Glass gave the Conference an inspirational address at the devotional service this morning. The Conference is exceedingly sorry that his limited time will not allow him to remain or more than a day. New Teachers. Two new teachers were added to the High School faculty this week. They will fill vacancies caused by resignations. Miss Cora Boldrick of Springfield, Ky., will have charge of the art department. Miss Boldrick filled this position in the combined schools of Springfield and Bardstown last year. She is a graduate of the Fine Arts School at Chicago and is now taking a summer course there. Miss Boldrick comes very highly recommended. Mr. David Trigg James has been secured to take French He will also act as basketball coach and gymnasium director. He is a graduate of the Univ. of Virginia. Mr. James made quite a reputation while in college both in his studies and in athletics. Superintendent Hill feels that he has been very fortunate in securing these people. Building Cottage. Dr. A.W. Cain is building a summer cottage on the Cumberland River. It will be completed this week and ready for occupancy. Dr. Cain and family and Mr. and Mrs. R.E. Higgins will occupy it during the summer. Resigns Position. Miss Ida York has resigned her position with the Kentucky Utilities Company and has been succeeded by Mrs. Rascoe, a recent graduate of the Somerset Business College. Miss York will take a much needed rest. Reid. Perk Reid, a well known citizen of Somerset, died at his home on West Columbia St. on Friday, after an illness of several months. He was 63 years of age. Mr. Reid had been a resident of Somerset for about thirty years. He was employed in the livery business for a number of years and recently had conducted a dairy. Funeral services were held at the residence Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W.L. Clark, Pastor of the First Methodist Church. Interment followed in the City Cemetery. Store Robbed. Thieves entered the confectionary of Benelli & Baldwein Monday night and secured $23 from the cash register and change box. They left a note saying that they would return again for another haul. Entrance was gained through a window in the cellar. Mr. Benelli says that he has a good idea who the guilty are. Davis - Taylor Debate. Rev. W.E. Hunter asks us to announce again the debate which is scheduled to take place in Somerset on June 28th between J.S. Davis and H.B. Taylor. The debate will likely be held at the Court House and will begin about 9:30 each morning. There will be no night sessions. The subject for discussion, it is said, will be the same as took place in the county last year. "The Church of Christ, of which I, J.L. Davis, am a member, and known by my brethren as the Church of Christ, is scriptural in origin, name, doctrine and practice." Mr. Davis will have the affirmative and Mr. Taylor the negative. This debate will take up the first two days, then the next two days will be taken up with the following subject: "Missionary Baptist Churches, one of which I, H.B. Taylor, am a member, are scriptural in origin, name, doctrine and practice." Mr. Taylor will have the affirmative and Mr. Davis the negative. Rev. Davis is considered an "anti," that is not recognized by the Church of Christ or the Christian Church. As we stated last week, we know of no good earthly that can come from such a debate.

Mr. Kinne feels very much encouraged about his race and his friends are working hard for his election. Mr. Kinne would make the district an able representative and would reflect credit upon our people. Read his article in this issue of The Journal. Orwin Honored.

I have been taking the paper for one year. Have sure found it ground. I don't think we could do without the good old Somerset Journal. I can hear so much from home folks, it's just like getting letters from home. I have been in Texas fine. I certainly have a fine crop this year. I have about 28 acres in oats, 35 in corn and about 40 acres in cotton. Sure does look fine. Texas is a great cotton country. I think now I will make this my home as farming is so much easier here than it is in the old state. We are having a great deal of rain now, but crops all look fine. Well I guess this will be all this time. Thanking you so much for my good paper. You may publish this in the paper if you wish. Sincerely Yours, J.B. Phillipi, R.F.D. 5, Farmersville, Texas. Work Started. A force of men are busy at work getting ready for the laying of the foundation of the Community Church. Large piles of lumber are being stacked on adjacent ground. The rock crusher is busy turning out rock. It looks like the building committee means business and before long a handsome $100,000.00 edifice will adorn the lot. Special License. In the special license ordinance, published elsewhere in this issue, especial attention is called to the following items: Automobile, operating same for passengers, $75.00 for first machine, and $50.00 for each additional; license not transferable.

Wagons and other animal drawn vehicles carry a separate amount when used for delivery purposes and when used for hire. Auto trucks are graduated on tonnage capacity and carry a separate amount when used for delivery purposes and when used for hire. All concerned are requested to carefully red this ordinance in full in order there may not be any future misunderstandings. C.B. Cundiff, Collector. Vote For Stella May. Why should not Miss Stella May hold the office of County Court Clerk? There are four thousand Republican women in Pulaski County. They are expected to do half the voting for the Republican part in this county. They are asking for but one office, and that office is one which a woman can fill as well as a man. Of course, no one would expect a woman to be elected to the office of Sheriff, or Jailer, but a woman can fill the office of County Court Clerk. Miss Stella May has, for many years, done the actual work of the office. She taught the present Clerk what he knows about it. If she could be a Deputy Clerk there is no reason why she should not be Clerk. Prejudice against women holding office should not influence anyone to vote against her. Most of us can remember when there was as much prejudice against women being permitted to teach in the public schools, and yet we now know that women make as good teachers as men, and about two-thirds of the teachers in Pulaski County are women. It has taken a long time for women to gain her rightful sphere in the world. Formerly, women were looked upon as merely slaves to men. The Indian expected to fish and hunt while his squaw made the living for the family. But since we have been reading the teachings of Jesus Christ, and since the world has become more enlightened, woman has come to be looked upon, not as a servant to mankind, but as his equal. What reason is there for voting for Mr. Langdon against Stella May? He served four years at Deputy Sheriff, then he was Sheriff four years, then Postmaster at Science Hill for a long time; now, he has served three terms, or twelve years, as County Court Clerk. Would it add any new honor to Mr. Langdon to give him another term as County Court Clerk? Certainly no one will say that it would. Then it would only mean more money to Mr. Langdon and nothing more. He is a rich old bachelor, and already has more money and land and stores than he could possibly use up in his life time. Certainly no one would feel like they were doing a kind or a just thing to vote for Mr. Langdon against Stella May. The question has been asked over the county as to whether or not the women will stand by one another. The coming Primary Election will try that out, but it does not seem that any woman would have any excuse for voting against Stella May. Miss May is well qualified. She has always been clever and accommodating while working in the office. It is earnestly hoped that the Republicans of this county will vote for her on August 6th. This article is prepared and paid for by friends of Miss Stella May without her knowledge. Advertisement. To The Republican Electors of Whitley, Pulaski and McCreary Senatorial District: I am a candidate for the Republican nomination to the office of State Senator from this District. I am 55 years of age and have been a life long Republican. Was raised on a farm until I was 22 years of age and while a young man, worked for a number of winters as a laborer in the logging camps of Michigan. Was commissary clerk and postmaster in the town near where I was raised; was elected County Treasurer of the County in which I grew up, serving two terms covering a period of four years, which was as long as the law would allow the office to be held continuously by one person. Shortly afterwards, I came to Kentucky, some twenty years ago. Since that time I have been a resident of Kentucky and actively connected with the development of its resources. It has been said by my opponents that I would be partial to the interests of the corporations. This is false. It is true that I have endeavored to give of my best to those who have employed me in such a manner as to merit their confidence and advancement, and, I believe that my association, training and dealings with the labor element is such that I can and will be of help to them and in their behalf. I invite the closest inspection of my record in past dealings with my co-laborers and neighbors. I have taken an active part in the affairs of my party, contributing at all times as far as my time and means would permit, to its success. I was Chairman of the McCreary County organization for a number of years; have been a member of the local School Board for more than 16 years, and a member of the County Educational Board for a number of years. I believe my life's training makes me fully realize and appreciate what is necessary for the advantage of the laborer, farmer and those interested in the betterment of the District. Those things which I stand for and will endeavor to obtain have already been told in a circular, copy of which you have no doubt already received or will see, reciting that I will endeavor to secure - Better roads, better schools, economy in Public Affairs, Elimination of Schools from Politics, Equal Justice to Laborer and Employer, Strong enforcement of Tempera nce Laws, Proper Recognition of State Aid to ex-Service Men, Proper Recognition of Women's Place in Public Affairs. If this meets with your approval, I will appreciate your support, promising to give of my very best endeavor those things which I believe to be for the State and District interests. Yours sincerely, W.A. Kinne. Farm News. Sixty Club boys and girls of Pulaski County competed in a livestock judging contest held on farms near Somerset Saturday. A class of Poland and China sows were judged at the Lewis and Shadoan Poland China farm, a class of Senior Aberdeen Angus heifer calves were judged at the A.C.

Clothier has resumed management of the Lexington sub-branch of the Underwood Typewriter Company, succeeding Stanley Clark, who has moved to Louisville. His office is 207 City National Bank Building. His territory comprises twenty-one counties in this section of the State. Mr. Clothier and family live on the Versailles Road near Lexington. Lots of Building. People who visit Somerset from other sections of the state say that there is more building going on here than any town in the State. It is estimated that fully two hundred homes have been built during the past year and at least twenty-five are being erected at this time. When the shops open up again we look for more building to begin. With all these new homes it is still hard to find a piece of property for rent. One was killed and two others are dying as a result of a fight in a circus tent in Lawrence County, when officers attempted to eject drunken men. Germany's casualties in the World War were placed at 6,888,982 by Commander William S. Bainbridge, of the Naval Medical Corps, in an address at Boston before the Association of Military Surgeons of the United States. According to Commander Bainbridge's tabulations, the German losses were divided as follows: Killed in battle, 1,531,148; missing, 991,340; wounded, 4,211,481; died of disease, 155,013.
