Marion, KY, is splendid num-
Der, scintillating with illustrative
paragraphs relative to our sister

mines, zinc works, shafts, etc. The
presswork was also executed with
out flaw aud equal to anything
of the kind, even were it turned
out from Offices in Chicago, Gin

State Supt. of Public Insuuc-
ton McChesne y announces that
the school per capita for the cur
rent year will be 1922. The per
capita fixed is decrease from last
year of eighteen cents. This is
the result of a heavy falling off in
collections made from licenses,
state banks and other corporations
Another cause of the decrease is
that the recent General Assembly
passed an act refunding to State
banks taxes they had paid under
the Hewitt law in excess of what
they should have paid.

Last weeks issue of the Critten-
den PRESS was a dandy and no
mistake about it. 1t was a com.
plete mining edition, printed on
good paper, and containing photos
and write-ups of all the mines in
that section. 1t touches on Har-
din county's mines in a vague way
but then Bro Walker got out his
paper for his people and not for
MS. We wish to inform him how
ever that the Rosi Glare mines are
the largest fiuor spar mines in the
world, and that they have been
running for about forty years. If
he should be a passenger on the
up boat he would see that they
shipped plenty of spar and lead.
Any one interested in mining mat
tiers should get copy of the min.
ing edition of the PRESS. 1t sell
at 10 cents per copy and is cheap
at that.-Elizab ethtown, Ills, In

A MAKER OF SAINTS.
An Establishment In Paris That Has
been Producing the Figures for
over r. Century.

-
The firm Of RafH, III Paris, has been
IN existence for over century, but it
is only six years since M. Pacheu, with
whom a M. Lecaron is associated, took
over the business, says Pearson's Mag
nzine.
"This making of saints" he said,
"was business which, when | decided
to engage in industry, appealed to me
most strongly. 1t is an industry for a
man who is fond of frequenting the
public libraries, who takes his pleas
ure In porting over old books and docu-
ments, who delights in research. Thus
do not know of anything that gives
me greater pleasure than when | am
written to about some saint concern
ing whom the customer can give me
few If any details. One has to hunt up
the particulars, the period in which he
lived, the costumes of that period, to
find out what were his special attri-
butes, what was his martyrdom, if
martyrdom there was.
"Thus some time ago we received
from priest in the south of France
I'LL OTucI. lOE d 5tdbuc VI OJ. T. IFS. 1
had never heard of such saint, nor
does he figure in our catalogue. though
that massive volume contains over $50
closely printed pages of the names of
saints. We applied to a priest who
is a great authority on this subject,
and we learned that st. Fris was cap
tain of barbarians under the Roman
denomination, and that he was mar
tyred at the age of 20. This gave us
the period, and the rest was easy.
"Again, ON another occasion, we
were asked to make statue Of a Ste.
Anne, of whom we knew nothing but
that she was widow. We had to find
out everything else about her. But
once we know the period our task be-
comes easier. The period indicates the
costume. Thus recently we had to
make St. Maurice. We knew that he
was captain, that he was a Roman,
and we dressed him with the breast
plate and the helmet of a Roman cap
tain"

THE TROJAN HORSE TO DATE.
Classical Method Employed by Two
Clever Parisian Thieves In
Their business.

Even in these latter days an intelli-
gent study of the ancient classics may
prove valuable asset to the consci-
entious student. That, at least, is what
one gathers from the exploits of the
pair of Partisan knights of the order
of industry who stole dummy horse
from saddler's shop, and proceeded
to put it to the same use as the Greeks
did the Wooden Horse of Troy, reports
the London Graphic.
The deceptive quadruped was placed
on handcart and wheeled to house
where an innocentconcierge consented
to take care of itfor the night. Before
morning one of the confederates had
emerged from the interior of the
horse, laid hands on such valuables as
he could find, and regained his hiding
place-to be duly carted away by his
friend.
This stratagem was actually success
full several timesfor good IN. Pipe
lett had, no doubt, never heard GER
tain trite tag about gift-bearing
Greeks, and the legitimate suspicion
with which prudent Trojans should re-
gard such. At last, however, a police
man happened to see the horse passing
through the streets, and, having heard
of its exploits, made bold to stop it,
and the game was up. Even good Hoo
mer nods--and the students of the
band were caught mapping. Clearly,
however, there is still money to be
made out of a sound classical educa-
ton.

HINTS FOR sTocKMEN.

A few sheep or Angora goats are a
valuable addition to any stock or
herd, and can be raised cheaply and
with little care or attention.
The dog crop" always takes care Of
itself. What the successful farmer
needs is more sheep and less dog.
Look after the sheep and lambs.
Ground corn and oats make fine
stock food, and these grains grow in
almost ever section, hence are profit
able food, because of their economy.
Rasturage is as essential to hog
raising as it is to cattle. Have good
range for your swine and the feed bills
win be lessened and the profit in
creased.
Hogs, though not clearly animal,
thrive better in dry, clean quarters
than in dirty, cramped pens. Use a
little care with your pigs as well as
other stock. Cotton Planters Jour
