A few Paducah people appreciate
the Importance of the city as
manufacturing center. and few, too.
appreciate what this business is to
the city. Paducah has made great
strides In the past five years in the
number Of factories, the increase in
value of the finished product. and
every other item entering into the
cost OF productions.
A comparison between Paducah's
manufacturing interests and those of
Owensboro, the only Kentucky city
in this section that rivals it, is in
teresting.

greensboro makes a splendid show
ing In the comparison of the value

is taken in consideration that the
character of goods II manufactures
cost more to make and sell for a
great deal more than Paducah's pro-
ducts, it is easily accounted for.
One-third larger than greensboro.
Paducah has twice as many em-
pboyees and pays out twice as much
for Iaborers. The wages paid out
| by the Illinois Central at the shops
are not figured i'm these statistics. 30
If the number of railroad employees
and its pay roll we're considered the
showing made by Paducah would be
much better, as the Illinois Central
employees over 1 200 men and pays
out 81 100000 year IN wages.

HOME.

Too many of US are looking forward to
happiness In the future years instead of
getting all the enjoyment possible out of
the present. 1t is we'll to remember that
the time never will come, In this world,
when we shall have everything we want
just where and when we want 1t. The
only way to be happy is to enjoy all we
have to the utmost as we go along. 1t is
right to lay up for old age in youth; right
to prepare for rainy day, but it is not
right to bend all our energies to this end
and put off until the happiness we might
enjoy every day. 1t is very common to
see people working and saving, denying
themselves all recreation and many com.
forts, to lay up money to buy more land,
to enlarge their stock, Ito save for their
children) thinking that when they have
accomplished this they will be happy and
begin to take comfort. The hoped for
point may never.be attained, or if 1t Is,
sickness or death may have come first and
the dear ones whom we expected to be
happy may be gone forever.
