ports and occasionally write an article
to some school journal? They have rec
commended certain laws that have aided
the farmer and his school, so far as |
am able to find out this Is all.
In Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas and
Mississippi the state superintendents
have organized the schools in a way
that farmers have been reached. Now
/ must admit that the public schools Of
Kentucky are really better than in
some OF our southern states. There IS
only one way 10 judge a public school
system or a school. The only question
that should confront you is, are the
schools growing? | contend that the
schools Of many Of the southern states
are rapidly improving This better
, condition is being accomplished by the
state superintendents, assisted by the
county superintendents. Let the state
, superintendent come TO Marion. He

Avoid the Cheap and big Can Bak-
inc Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but
one recommendation: they certainly give
the purchaser plenty of powder for his
money. These powders are SO carelessly
made from inferior materials that they
will not make light, wholesome food.
Further, these cheap baking powders
have very small percentage of leaven-
ing gas; therefore it takes from two to
three times as much Of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does Of
Calumet Baking Powder. Therefore, in
the long run, the actual cost to the con-
sumner Of such powders is more than
Calumet would be. Cheap baking
powders leave the bread sometimes
bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and
alkaline, and always unpalatable. They
are never of uniform strength andquality.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome
baking powder like Calumet, that is at
the same time moderate in price and
one which can be relied upon? Calumet
is always the same, keeps indefinitely
and gives the cook the least trouble. "a

and trees; and beyond the city CLEANS

ships.

The decision recently handed down by
Judge Chloupek in an insurance case Is
one of Importance. The case was one IN
which a fire insurance agent sued for
the recovery OF the premium on policy
he had written for the defendant in the
case. The court held that, as the
premium had not been paid, the policy
was not valid.
This decision is emnently sound, and
il should have a wholesome effect.
Let no man deceive himself by imagin-
ing that his property is insured if he has
not paid the premium on his Ioiicy or
policies. No matter what the assevera-
tions or assurances may be, depend upon
it that, should your property be destroy
ed or damaged by fire, your policy would
be of no value whatever if the premium
was not paid prior to the time OF such
unfortunate occurrence.
Every person should make it point
never to accept policy before paying
Iuo vi Viz S"''i''
Suppose that a man takes policy for
$1,000, and that the premium thereon, for
q year is $40 Now, if he does not pay
the premium until the expiration OF
ninety days from the time the policy
was written out and accepted, he incurs
a direct loss of twenty five percent. OF
the premium, or s.. The loss would be
az absolute in case no fire occurred "a 1t
would be in case fire did occur. The
loss would be as absolute under any
circumstances rs if a crisp five-dollar
bill were consigned to the fire in n
furnace. If no fire occurs during the
first ninety days after the policy was
written and accepted and if the twenty
dollars premium be paid at the expira-
ton of such period the insured pays a
years premium for nine months protec-
ton. But the loss of a fractional part
Of the premium for every hour that the
premium remains unpaid is merely II
consideration of secondary Importance.
The danger of the practice of not paying
the premium at the time the policy is
issued lies in the generally-admitted fact
that, if fire does occur ut all two to
one it occurs while the policy is not in
effect; l. g. during the time the premium
remains unpaid.
If the premium is not paid at the time
apolicy is accepted and if the property
on which the policy is issued should be
destroyed by fire prior to the time the
premium was paid, the case would in all
likelihood 90 to the courts. Then, if the
case is decided against the insured
disaster has followed in the wake Of
misfortune If the insured should win
in the circuit court, the powerful com
pany would simply carry the case to the
supreme court, where the poor man
often stands no show. Besides every
body knows that, rs rule, winning ~
law suit is misfortune only second to
losing one
