There was
mectinjr held
another electric litrht
in Murray on Tuesday
eveninjr of this week
It was held in
.1 Ti l O r i ... .
ue i ins iv i.janseme-- nail, and was
one of the most enthusiastic that has
been held since the lijrht. question
came up some w eeks a so. There were
fully loi ty famliies represented, all of
whom seem to take considerable in
terest in the movement, but not suf
ficient to enroll their name as a
financial supporter of the proposition.
A line was run over to the hall from
the Louis Puis plant at the jrarajre,
and a very irterestinir demonstration
was jriven on the possible usaee of
elect! icity in the way of runniiijr
wa.-nins maenmes, :ronmjr, sew in jr.
machines and in fact cverythinjr used
in the heavy work for the housewife.
Miss May Loujrhi idjre held the lucky
number that drew the electric ironer
that was jriven away. There are quite
a number of the citizens of Murray
that have already enrolled their names
members of tho company, and the.-e
men have fully made up their minds
that Murray will haw an electric lijrht
plant. Under the plans that they are
workinjr on electricity will be the best
and cheapest lijrht possible. A com
mittee has been selected to secure
members of the company and all pos
sible users of the current will be
visited within the not few days, so
now is your chance to become a mem
ber or remain in the dark in the fut
ure. Re a Rooster and come in now.
Same Very Mean Stunts Pulled OiT.
There has been a jrood many mean
stunts pulVd off in Murtay durinjr the
past few months, but Tuesday even
injr of this. ,veek r.ure capped the
climax, when someone visited the
clothes line at the none of J. D.
Shrader and took therefrom one of his
new union suits of u-.deiwcar, stuffed
it wi'h h?y and strum; it to one of the
telephone, poles. This was not ail, the
home of J. W. B.-rjrer was visited and
his cows were turned out, and Mr.
Rerjrer was also struck in the eye with
a soft mud ball, and our excellent fel
low townsman. Charles Boedeker, va

dent; J. W. Edmunds, vice president
t. M. Mmford, treasurer; Henry
Creamer, Charles Sans and Charle
Spangier selected as members of the
board of directors. There was no s?
lections made as yet ior the manager,
The company showed an earning the
pj'st year of about $l.f0, which was
divided among the stockholders. There
was not q iite as much grain handled
the pa.-.t year as th-; one previous
which was possibly due to the crop
conditions, and a great deal of corn
being left in the country at this time.
ine loiai receipts :o: tne year were
as follows:
Corn, 8-1,000 bushels
Wheat, L'D.OOO bushels-.
Oats, 7,000 bushels.
l he total business for the entire
year is fully up to the average of the
Farmers' Elevator companies over the
country, when all conditions are taken
into consideration.

E!G
OFFENSIVE CONTINUES
London. Jan. 5. Two correspond
ents at Petrograd ha-e reported that
Russian attacks have driven the Aus
tiians out of Czerncwitz, capital of
Bukowina. and that the Slavs hold all
heights dominating the city.
This claim is not made in the off!
cial Petrograd statement, which de
dares that Russian troops have cap
tured trenches northeast of Czerno
witz and have repulsed strong counter
attacks by the Austri.ins.
White-clad German? were repulsed
at Tsargrad, and Germans attempting
to cross the Dvina ri-.-er near Alisen

"PREPAREDNESS"
PLAN IS DOOMED
WILSON ADMITS
Senate Leader Kern Will Oppose It,
and House Leader Kitchen Is
Against It.
FLAN MAY BE MODIFIED
Washington, D. C, Jan. 5. Unless
materially modified. President Wil
son's preparedness plan is beaten.
This is the opinion, authoritatively
learned today, of the administration
itself.
Defection of Senator Kern, senate
democratic leader, from the forces
working for the great army and navy
program outlined by the president in
his message to congress was the final
proof to the White house that its
plans will not carry. Kern's decision
that he cannot support the program
became known today. The people of
Indiana are opposed, it is said.
This leaves the preparedness pro
gram unsupported by the leaders in
both houses. Kitchen, houses majority
leader, has held off from the first, but
Kern' warm Wilson admirer, had been
expected to lead the administration's
senate fight.
Kern refused to confirm the report
as to his attitude.
I will stand by my statement that,
generally, I will support the program
although as to which of the several
plans proposed I shall approve I can
not sav," he said.
Bryan Threatens to Oppose Wilson.
The defection of Kern is directly
traced to Bryan, who is said to have
spent two days with House Leader
Kitchin during the last week, plan
ning against the administration pro
gram.
Leaders with whom he has talked
ay that Bryan is bitter against the
president's program and is threaten
ing to stump the country before the
democratic convention to arouse sen
timent against preparedness and
against a second term for Wilson.

They say that while Bryan has no
intention of bolting the action of the
convention should it renominate the
president, he hopes to prevent the
nomination.
People Don't Like Big Army Plan.
Today President Wilson is receiving
many discouraging reports over the
preparedness program.
The opposition centers upon Secre
tary Garrison's army plan. The peo
ple "back home" don't like it, many
congressmen report.
An indication that the Austrian
crisis might strengthen the adminis
tration's program came in a telegram
stating that Venable had been elected
to congress in Mississippi after mak
ing an out-and-out fight for prepared
ness. Two New Battle Ships Expected.
Administration officials are still
confident that two battle ships and a
large number of auxiliaries will be
authorized by congress.
Preparedness hearings, which
promise to last for months, were be
gun by the house naval committee to
day. Rear Admiral Standford, chief of
the bureau of yards and docks, urged
more government docks, where battle
ships and smaller warcraft can be
built
Tomorrow the army program will
be taken up by the house military
committee, with Secretary Garrison
the first witness.
