A young lazy who works at my

allowed the freedom of the house. 1t
came and went, and was tame
enough when anyone had time to
play with it.
The boy who makes the fires was
in the habit of leaving matches on
the shelf so there would always be
one handy, and one afternoon not
long ago we noticed the rat scurry-

docks in Mechanicsburg near the
Seacoast plant was burned shortly

Compared 10 the Premiums
Paid.
OFFICIAL REPORT JUST OUT

The state insurance commissioner
has issued his annual report OF the
amount of business done in the state
by foreign Insurance companies, and
the amount of losses paid by them.
The report gives figures for every
city and town by companies, and It is
quite interesting. especially as it
shows that Paducah stands among
the highest on the list in regard to
ratio of premiums and losses. The
total premiums in the state for the
year ending June 30 amount to So
270,727, while the losses were ST.
1924, making the loss 1929 per
cent. Louisville paid the largest
amount of premiums, and Owens
boro was second, paying out $751;
529 and receiving s5O.663 from fire
losses, representing a ratio Of losses
to premiums OF 32.1 per cent.
The proportion of losses to premi'
ans in several of the larger cities
was as follows: Louisville, SOC
Covington. 43.4; Bowling Green, SO
Frankfort. 59.3; Harrodsburg. 10O
6; Henderson. 46.G; Newport, 1871
Greensboro. 32.1; ,Paducah. 1886
Paris. 1906; Winchester, 144.s.
These figures are for the year end

Lexington is one of the best cotton
markets in the State, and the same
thing can be said for grain. The peo-
pie of this and the suburbs of ada

market prices are paid for them and
cotton finds a ready sale all the year

The probability is that the free
bridge measure has been defeated.
To be candid this is nothing more
than We expected. It is an exceed
ingly difficult matter to persuade
people to vote tax upon themselves
for public improvement no matter
what it is or how meritorious it may
be, or how great the advantage to
the people at large. People have q
perfect horror of any form of taxation.
They regard it, no matter how wrong
and untenable this position is, as SO
much money wrung from them with
out giving any return. The express
sion was freely made on our streets
Tuesday that the County Commis-
sioners should have gone ahead and
built this bridge, as it was their duty
to do, and they would have paid the
tax unconaplaingly, but to vote tax
upon themselves they would never
do, and this seemed to be the senti-
ment all over the county.
Ours has not been loves labor
lost, we have created a sentiment for
public improvements that will never
die. Lexington must take steps
forward i'm the march Of progress,
she cannot afford to 60 backwards
for to do so is stagnation and death.
This is generally understood and our
people are patriotic and progressive
enough to do anything within the
limit of justice and reason to further
the interest of the county. The
three bridges will be built one at a
time and there will be no complaint
from our people. 'All's well that
ends WELL"
