and one-half to four cents for milk,
and after the first Of October viii

quarter, Il costs a cent a bottle
freight to bring IT from the farm to
the city. 1t costs half a cent a bottle
for cleaning. filling and icing. 1t costs
another three-eighths Of q cen a bot
tie to haul it from the depot to the
wholesale house. That can that Il
costs practically six and one-quarter
cents a bottle to put the milk in the
delivery wagon. Out Of the balance
we have to pay drivers. inspectors and
bear other expenses. There is really
little or no money in the milk bust
ness" He might have added the cost
of bottles that customers fail to re
turn and fatty refuse to pay for-an
item by no means small. The wonder
is to people who read such a hard
luck tale as this-and producers and
dealers Of almost any variety Of farm
product that can be named can put up
a story to match it-that all agricul-
tural pursuits are not abandoned.
Somehow or other, though, they go on,
with everybody concerned showing
signs Of prosperity. Queer, isn't it?

PECULIAR FREAK.

Mr. w. S. Sallee, one of our prosper
Gus farmers, relates a peculiar freak
from Holstein COW. 1t is this way:
Mr.. SalIee was milking the cow few
evenings ago, one he had MIXED for
several years and during all that time
she had never kicked, hooked nor run,
but that record was smashed on this
occasion. All of sudden she took
run out of the lot and into a small
thicket nearby, stopping suddenly and
placing her head near the ground while
the irate Mailman was following with
stick to infiict punishment, but to
his surprise the old Holstein had led
him to one of his fine hogs that was
nearing the end of its earthly existence.
After finding out the intent of the
faithful old cow the rod was not used
and she walked back into the lot where
she stood calmly for her milk to be
drawn. Evidently the cow intended
and did notify her swner of the condi-
ton Of the hog, but toe late to save
its life.

OPPOSITION
Being Framed By Commercial Club
to Be Presented By Fiscal
Court.

The turnpike proposition has been
discussed for several months, in South
ern Kentucky. Every town and county
has been indulging in hopes and enjoy
ing the beautiful pictures of imaginary
pixies. Various propositions have been
submitted; various roads suggested,
but up to date no action that leads to
realization of such blessings has been
taken in this county
Our Commercial Club is now working
on plans which will be submitted to
the Fiscal Court at its April meeting,
and it is to be hoped that every men,
Der of the Court will realize the i'm
nense worth of good substantial roads
and the Importance of their immediate
construction. The needs of the county
cannot be secured in a short period of
time. Good roads cannot DO built all
over the county in one or two years,
but a system can be established that
will make wonderful difference inside
of few years. Close listed economy,
if longer INDUCED, will prove a costly
mistake. So long as selfish and per-
sonal interests override public good and
public advancement, SO long we will all
grope along in the mire and mud. The
Fiscal Court ought to levy the highest
tax within the limits of law, and use
the same in making pixies. A plan will
be worked out by the Commercial Club
which will be submitted to the Court.
The people are willing to be taxed for
roads and bridges, and we trust that
the Court will be willing to impose the
tax and judiciously spend it.

WHERE ARE THE
FIXED RULES
Relative To The Young Manhood of
Today To Be Found.-..Princi.
pie The Object.

Editor News:
| drop these few lines to your val
liable paper with the hopes that the
thoughts advanced will prove beneficial
to some young man in that section of
country.
The only fixed rules upon the above
subject which seem the most advisable
to nay mind in the makeup of a young
mans character at this day and time,
is soberness; honesty; fair dealing;
integrity; politness; pleasant manners
and address; self respect, and regard
for the opinions of men whose years
are more mature than his, and who
have gray locks, and a great deal more
experience in the various walks than
you have had.
What contrast in young men, those
who expect to make their mark in the
world, and to have the respect of all
who know them, are always found in
good company, their manners are most
agreeable to all, with whom they come
in contact. They have the respect Of
much older men, and their honesty and
integrity builds for them character in
this life, which will stand the stormy
onslaughts of whole army of fellows
who would purposely injure their char
acters for their own greed or gain.
Now, on the other hand, what can a
young man expect in this life, who
does not try to make out of himself
what his mother would desire him to
be.
The best friend a boy has on earth is
his mother, and if he breaks her heart
by his wrong doing, he ought to have
a goodly portion Of hell fire, throughout
the ages Of eternity, it matters not
what kind Of an Internal excuse he may
try to concoct in his favor No young
man is compelled to do wrong deed,
and if he does it, the cause is because
he wants to. There is no other accuse.
A mothers love, and mothers in
terest in her son, are two of the grand
est and most noble inspirations that
can come to any boy, and any young
man who will not prize them higher
than any worldly pleasure, is not wor-
thy of being called the son of a noble
mother. F. Mel.
