Tho Council will meet tonight to hear the report of the committee investigating the practicabil ity of a municipal lighting plant, i This conflict between the railroads and their employee has served at least one good purpose. It has convinced the ultimate goats (the public at large) that laws must be enacted to prevent a recurrence of conllicts in the future which have the possibility of a paralysis of the commercial interests of the country.

Those laws should be so drsatio in their nature as to force a course of moderation on both sides to the controversy. The people have rights, as well as the railroads and their employes.

Incorporated TELEPHONE courtesy is just a bit of ordinary politeness and everyday kindness that we put into our conversation when we talk by telephone. Its the face to face brand of politeness and kindness used when we're voice to voice. It's the same politeness and kindness that we like to receive from the other end of the wire. Giving a little thought to telephone courtesy and practicing its simple rules will make the telephone an even more efficient aid for you. "Telephone as You'd he Telephoned To," always.

BOX 400, FRANKFORT, KY. ESIAY OH HAIIT 31. Lincoln Schuster, junior in tho Pulitzer School of Journalism, won the fifty-dollar prize offered by Arthur Brisbane, editor-of the Now York Evening Journal, for the host editorial written by a member of the school ojn "Habit." Schuster, who is nineteen years of age, hns done literary work for the Indepen dent, nnd is college correspondent for several New York newspaper. Until recently bo was connected with the literary department of the CohiT.bin Spectator. Eighty-seven editorials were sub mitted during the competition.

The editorinl which was adjudged best by Geddes Smith, of the Independent; William Lahcy and Blnncho Bates, of the New York Tribune, nil graduates of the School of Journalism, follows: Habit Your Slave Or Master? Ilobit is the greatest friend and the greatest enemy of mankind. Habit is life the very life of life. Habit is the backbone of your character. Habit is tho basis of ninety-nine per cent, of what you do. Habit is not second nature; rather as the Duke of Wellington said, "it is ten times nature." Habits are of two kinds: good nnd bad.

Bad habits are vices; good habits are virtues. Bad habits destroy; good habits build. Bad habits enslave you; good habits make you the master oi yourself. Bad habits tie you to the great monkey god you see on this page. You whirl round and round, tied to bad habits.

You go fast, but not far. You are powerless. The smoking-habit, the drinking-habit. tho swearing-habit all these are chains of slavery. A mental slave to bad habits is far worse to a physical slave, for the little string that binds him cannot be cut with the sharpest knife that man can devise.

It can only be broken by the power of will. Bad habits keep you from getting anywhere in life except in the nar-iow circle around the stone monkey. The little thin string that ties you to bad habits grows stronger and stronger every day. If you want to free, you must determine to brenk that string now. Don't postpone postponing is another bad habit.

Cut that string now! But don't be afraid of all habits. Good habits are to bo prized. Good habits are the greatest time-savers in your life. You get up in the morning, you wash, you dress, you eat, you go to sleep all by habit. You do these necessary things automatically good habits give you the power.

If you didn't develop these simple hnbit, if you had to think every time before you got up, before you dressed, before you nte, you would havo no time for anything else. Thinking about things you can do by habits is a waste of time. Habit is the great short-cut to action. Don't be the slave of habit. Let habit bo your slave.

Let habit do the routine things of life for y6u. Let habit give you daily efficiency, punctuality, exactness and neatness. Let habit give you healthy exercise every day, deep breathing, wholesome food nnd regular hours. Let habit give you pleasant smile, a warm greeting, and joy in your work. This will save you time, worry and energy.

Then you will linvo room for the greater tilings of life thinking, reading nnd character-building. Full line women's hose at thi right kind of prices, from 15 cents to $1.50.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN Again tho youin or cj: commim- ity are back in school and preparing themselves for tho duties of life. A few years hence they will be benring the burdens" of the community that are borne by us today, and jt is incumbent upon us to see that they are in every way fitted to cope with the many and intricate problems that will confront them. Education is a modern necessity.

It is no longer a luxury reserved principally for tho rich. It is just ns ossentinl that the mind of the farmer be developed to the utmost capacity as it is for the merchant oi the doctor or the lawyer. Each branch of industry is dependent in great measure of tho success attained by other branches. No longer can we "go it alone" as our forefathers did in the good old days. Hence, if we would have our children successful in life it is necessary that we afford them every opportunity to acquire the education thnt is the first requisite to such acluevement.

Keep the public schools in mind, encourage the teachers by your personal interest and support, and commend the children in their efforts to meet your expectations. Speak the good word that breeds ambition in tho 1 breast of teacher and pupil alike, nnd begin the speaking today. Highest Market Price Paid for Poultry and Produce G.D. Sullivan W.

"Uncle Johnnv" makes his home with his nephew, Mr. Matt Ford, near Sideview, and enjoys perfect health. Ho was born in Virginia in 1815 and came to Kentucky at the close of the Civil War.

Mr. Helton every year raises a small crop of tobacco and corn which he works himself, cutting and housing his to-bacco and cutting and shocking his corn. He says he never took a dose of medicine in his life and attributes his long life to regular habits an inveterate user of tobacco. He is probably the oldest white man in the State.
