Entered at the Post Office at Lexington,

CIRCULATION 2.300.
Although Woodrow Wilson has been
president but little over five months,
he has demonstrated beyond question
his fitness to deal with big national
nrnhiftTOfi in a statesmanlike way, even
though his political opponents differ
with him in fundamentals of government
with especial reference to the
needs and desires of the people. While
the Wilson administration will be
marked by the breaking of many time
honored precedents, it will also be distinguished
for the number of literary
men chosen to represent the governIment
at the capitals of Europe and the
East, many of the men thus chosen
standing in the front rank of the
i
literati of the American nation, whose
works are household words wherever
the English language is spoken. Not
alone, however, will the Wilson administration
be distinguished for the
number of literary men who have
been made ambassadors and ministers
to foreign governments, but it will be
universally commended for the generk;
v ally exceptionally high character of
-those selected for diplomatic places
not only to the republics to the south
of us, but to Europe and the Orient.

The man wno invented the gatling
machine gun, which shoots at the rate
of 1,200 the minute, has nothing on
Chief of Police Kleckley. In case he
1%.i ' goeB to sleep on the job his gun "spontaneously"
cc in hammer-on
eollision with the payment, and besides
waking him up, it gives the
alarm. Who can beat that for skill?

m Advantages School Offers.
? A town is what its inhabitants make
it. The town of Chapin will be what
the people of Chapin will make it.
Whether Chapin will be aggressiye
and wide-awpke or at a standstill and
dead in business will be left for the inhabitants
of this town to decide. I
believe I can be safe in asserting that
[p ' every loyal oitizen desires to see his
hfiV"
own town grow. I have enough faith
~ v _ / ni. _
and confidence in rue peopie 01 unapm
to believe that yon wonld like to see
your towu grow in business and tower
high above the neighboring towns.
I In order to increase the growth of a
town there most be an increase in
population/ In order to insure an increase
in population there must be
certain inducements and opportunities
that will attract and draw people inside
the town limits. Therefore, if
r
you want to see your town grow you
must afford advantages chat will justify
families in breaking up homes and
moving into your town. Hence, if
Chapin would grow, one must put on
new life and become aggressive. A
keen competition in trade, the con
stant introduction of new enterprises,
good churches, and last, but not
least, a creditable school are subjects
that should suffice to occupy fully the
thoughts and hearts and tongues tf
the people of Chapin.
As I am by profession a pedagogue,
it would be quite natural for me to be
in sympathy with our school. I wish
to show how a good school adds to the
progress of a town. What does a
good school mean to a town? Does
a good school pay? There are questions
that should demand the serious
consideration of all concerned about
, the welfare and growth of a town.
As a town grows in proportion to its constituency
what part does a good school
play in adding to the growth of population?
The average man, being
somewhat handicapped because of the
lack of an education, is not willing to
turn his child loose in this fast age
without first equipping that child with
a thorough education. As a general
thing the school facilities in the rural
^districts are not very flattering, and
oar country fathers desiring to educate
their children are moving into
the towns and cities where the very
hest school advantages are offered.
What then will a good school mean to
* the merchants, to the real estate men,
kto the churches in the town of Chapin?
-It will mean an increase in tiude to
merchants, an increase in value
of property to the land owner and an
increase in membership to the
churches in Chapin. Families moving
into Chapin must have food and
clothing, hence, the merchant will
be benefitted. They must hare homes
to live in, hence, the real estate man
will be benefitted. They must wor?
i
Ship God in public, hence, mecnnrcnes
will be benefitted.
A Rood school will mean more business,
a greater popnlation, and a better
town In every respect for Ohapin,
111 fact to insure the safety of your
town it will be necessary that yea
haye the very beat school. The mighty
trust of Chapin's fate and fortune is
soon to be committed into the hand9
of yonr sons. Who shall take your
place when yon are gone? After yon
are gone, who shall govern your town
and who shall carry on your business?
You will want men whose qualifications
and abilities will be such as to
govern your town intelligently and to
carry on your affairs in a busine9s-like
manner. The safety and wellfare of
your town will depend upon the fitness
and the efficiency of those who
? *' - ? .cc?i/-vf TT.inr frtirn. A !
| are to run iny aiiauo w ^ i<u,
good school will be a powerhouse to
your .town, furnishing power by tnrniDg
out men eminently qualified intellectually
to work steadily and effectually
towards the uplift of your
town. A good school is the making
of a town. Show me a town with a
good school in it and I can safely prediet
a bright future for that town.
But on the other hand, a town with a
poor school in it will remain stunted,
however the people may wish for that
town to grow.
I am contending for a school worthy
the support and should have the earnest
cooperation of all. It is the
dutyof the citizsns of Chapin to
work for a good school. Will it pay
Chapin to have a good school? If it
will pay, then, let us make our school
hotter bv adding on the eleventh grade.
I cannot find any reason whatever why j
our town should not have the very
best school possible. Men of strong
minds and willing hands, I beg you to
persevere, to take courage and be determined
to make your school one of
the very best in the county, yea, in
the State. Look about you and get
busy. Your sons and daughters must
be thorough before entering college
and to insure thorougness on the part
of your children you must have a
thorough teaching force to start with.
I appeal to the thinking men of Chapin,
the men who wish to do things to
come down into the trench with the
principal and shovel and wheel there
till yon have made a school that will
make other schools sit np and take
notice. Get into the traces and pull
by the side of your principal and we
will have the best school in the county
which will mean so much for the
town of Chapm. Let us support one
another. Let us be welded into a social
unity and that we are under obligation
to fill our respective place in
the upbuilding of our school. In the
name of reason, in the name of innocent
children, I beg the people of
Chapin to give us a school that will
cope with any school in the State. 1
call loudly for earnest working men
who are in sympathy with the sub
- ' ^ -J 1..MJ _ |
lime work of educating ineir umurcu
for the honor duties, and enjoyments
of true manhood and womanhood.
Let theiv, the patrons of the school
recognize their indebtedness to their
children. Let them wreathe their
names with grateful memories in the
hearts of their children by installing a
school that will give the very best
school advantages. Let us make the
school business our business, thinking
about It, working for it and planning
how and in what v ys we improve it.

Harry K. Thaw Captured. ^
Sherhrooke. Quebec, Aug. 19.?
Harrv K. Thaw, cut short in his flight
from the State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Matteawan, N. Y., by ^
arrest today at the village of St. Her- s
mcogilde de Graford, just over the in- D
teraational line from New Hampshire,
prepared in a cell in the county jail ^
here tonight to fight against being c
sent back to the United States. Thaw U
faces deportation on the ground that T|
Pi
he is an undesirable alien and extradi- (
tion on a warrant charging him with D
bribery.
Tno warrant already issued in New ^
York State on a charge of conspiracy
will not suffice to extradite him, in the B
opinion of local authorities. These &
authorities received word tonight that
the district attorney of Duchess county,
in which Matteawan is located, was Si
on his way here prepared to swear to
a warrant charging Thaw with brib- j
ery?an extraditable offense?if nece9sary.

a gang of desperadoes of the Jesse
James fame, was notified of the ^
larceny, and, accompanied by his son,
Lester, was soon upon the scene.
The little fellows were brought here
