The committee Of the general coun-
Gil has decided that 81, 900 is too much
to charge the Illinois Central for right
Of way over the pest house property.
II is commendable in the committee
to reconsider its intention Of "goug-
ing" the railroad. Even $500 is too
much. 1t is enough for every farmer
whose property is to be passed through
to charge an exorbitant price, without
a city like Paducah, which principally
will be benefited by the road, doing 1t.

THE WEATHER.
Fair tonight and Thursday.
MUNICIPAL HIGH
WAY ROBBERY.

wa IsOAoD6n :
The last council report shows that
the recent city tax levy will raise on
the assessment Of Paducah s165, 434. So
taxes, which will be to maintain the
city government from June l. the
time the preceding levy expired, to
January /, when another levy will
have to be made under the second
class charter. This means that the
general council has made provision for
raising sl65, 900, in round numbers,
to run the city for six months and pay
of the municipal debts.
Some idea of how outrageous this is
may be obtained from the fact that
the last year of the Business Mems
Council, when considerable money
had to be paid for sewerage, and sever
al thousand dollars was spent for
street machinery, the total amount
for running. the city for the entire
year, including the money spent for
the above additional expenses, was only
sos, 900.
This year, or the last six month of
this year, we find the city council APP
propriating 100000 for city and
school purposes Taking $4,000 Of
this for the schools, and allowing S.
600 for delinquents, which is large, we
have left $3.50, 900 of the taxes for
city purposes. Adding to this the $40,
600 that comes in from licenses and
other sources, we find that the coun-
Gil has figured on spending $4,000
for city purposes alone for six
months, as against this 10000 the
Business Mems Council made do the
city for a whole year little over four
years ago.
It requires more to run Paducah
now than it did then, us a matter Of

The city has pending with the ILL
nos Central authorities request for a
lease or donation of its river front
property for levee purposes. 1t desires
the railroad to give it the use Of the
property, which is worth perhaps ten
or twelve thousand dollars. Notwith-
standing this request, it has the un-
mitigated gall to turn around aud
charge the railroad $500 simply to
pass over the pest house property. 1t
would take more money than that to
induce most people to pass that near
the pest house, without charging
them for the permission.

The council has tabled the street
sprinKlng ordinance, but it is safe to
predict that next year we shall have q
system of street sprinkling, as the
sentiment Of the council seems to be
in favor of the system. The cost will
be but a few thousand dollars a
year. This year the contracts for much
Of the sprinkling have been let by
merchants and other citizens to pri-
vate companies, and it is deemed bet
ter to wait until next year, to inaug-
urate the sprinkling system.

found that Brakeman Frank Mixer
was missing. The engine returned to
look for him and found his body
crushed and mangled beneath the

some unaccountable manner fallen
from the train. The remains were
put on No. 80 and brought to this city
where they were prepared for burial
and then taken to Goodland for inter
ment.
Mr. Mixer was one of the oldest

from under various available shelters

What Can the Patron Do to Increase
His Profit?

If you should ask this question to
creamery patrons, most of them would
answer, "Milk more cows" But is
this the best answer to the question?
Would it not pay the patrons better
to keep daily record of the pounds
Of milk from each cow, along with the
record of the monthly test? By doing
SO he could quickly determine which
COWS were profitable. He could then
dispose of the improbable and replace
them by COWS that would come up to
the desired standard. The patron
should choose some one breed of cattle
and stay by that choice. He can
build up his herd by good care in Sc
lection, breeding and feeding.
There is always room for improve
ment and each year should see an in
creased profit from the herd
By watching the milk sheet the
patron will see that it does not pay to
have mich COWS exposed to rain and
snow. He will build warmer barns
and take better care of his cows. At
this point he should introduce into
his system a tank heater and try a
balanced ration for his mich COWS
and heifers. He will learn that by
proper feeding, milk will be produced
in much larger quantities than under
the old method of feeding. A bal
anced ration need not cost more than
the ordinary feed, even if it does, the
increased milk supply will more than
make up for the increased cost. For
example: A mans COWS produce 200
pounds of butter fat at 20 cents per
pound. The feed costs s12. This
leaves S23. He feeds and cares for
his COWS in the way that dairy cows
should be fed and cared for; they pro-
duce 400 pounds of butter fat, bring
ing in $50. The feed has cost s35.
Subtracsing the cost Of the feed from
the value of the butter fat, he has
left s35., making an increase of SIT.
