COTTLE, Editor. The clean-up campaigin is bearing fruit in West Liberty. There are still a few delinquents but it is gratifying to note the promptness with which most of our citizens responded. We ordered a full page of clean-up literature in plate form but were informed by the people who prepared it that the demand had been so great the supply was exhausted. We wei-e disappointed in not getting it, but the campaign will go on anyhow.

If we will all work in concert we can have practically a flyless town this summer. Let's all pull together! BEN F. KENNARD ANNOUNCES FOR CIRCUIT COURT CLERK. In this issue we call attention to the announcement of Ben F. Kennard, of Logville, for the democratic nomination for Circuit Court Clerk.

His announcement appeared last week but was too late to be placed in the regular column for announcements. To many of our readers Mr. Kennard needs no introduction. To those who do not know him personally- wc wish to say that he is a young man of splendid character and sterling worth, and a democrat among democrats. Although young in years he has given much time to his party and in its service he has never been found lagging.

He comes of a family whose allegiance to the principles of democracy has never 1 k. .1 lt i 1 Ut in the rural schools successfully for a number of years and is an attorney at law of considerable ability which fact peculiarly fits him for the duties of the office to which he aspires. He is sober, moral, and honest to a fault. He proposes to make the race free from alliances or entanglements, and vouchsafes a faithful performance of his official duty if nominated and elected. We ask for him mature consideration at the hands of democratic- electorate of Morgan county.

POOR OLD MORGAN. Below will be faund alistof the Kentucky counties that have asked for and received their proportion of the State road fund, together with the amounts received by each. What did Morgan A black eye and a bad name. A stigma that will last through all the years. A backward push in her struggle to maintain a place in the line of progression's march.

An underhand blow from the effects of which she will not re-j cover until most, if not all, of her I sister counties have outstripped i her in the race. i Wolfe is the only adjoining county that failed to apply for State aid. Following is the list of counties which will get their share of the State fund: Franklin county will receive 742 out of the State road fund. Thirteen counties will draw the full amount allowed by law out of the fund this year, ac- cording to the estimate just com- pleted by Commissioner of Roads R. C.

Terrell. It is based upon the 1914 assessments and levy, excepting in a few instances where failure of the counties to report made it necessary to use the 1912 returns. The counties, which will draw the full two per cent are Bourbon, Campbell, Christian, Clark, Daviess, Fayette, Graves, Jeffer- son, Kenton, Mason, McCracken, Nelson and Shelby. The a nount it is estimated each county will receive from the state roa fund is based on the I ratio the road levy of that parti- cular co mty bears to the total levy for road purposes of all the counties, $2,071,571. The estimated road fund is $658,220.

After apportioning the money on this basis a balance of over $100,000 was redistributed within the limits of the two per cent, which is the maximum any county is allowed to draw, and also not exceeding the total amount appropriated for State aid work, including private subscriptions. In no case was a county alloted more than it asked for State aid, as some portions of the county levies naturally will be used for other work than that undertaken according to the law governing State aid projects. The distribution to counties issuing bonds will be based upon their road levies and special tax for sinking fund purposes; but the latter does not figure in this estimate as the Commissioner had before him only the 1914 levies to guide him.
