TRUANT OFFICER
WON'T BIZ NEEDED
BY SCHOOL BOARD

Owing TO the strained condition
of the finances of the school board,
Pajucah may escape the expense of
having a truant officer this year, ac-
cording to the statements made this
morning by Prof. J. G. Crabbe, state
of education. in a con
versation over the long distance tele-
phone with Supt. J. A. Carnagey.
The decision of Professor Crabbe was
surprise. as in previous letters he
has indicated that the school board
would be forced to employ a truant
officer by January 1, before the al,
lowance of the state money would
be sent. However. letters have been
sent to Professor Crabbe showing the
exact situation here Further details
are expected from Frankfort. by
mail. but from the conversation 1t Is
assured this extra expense will be
escaped this year.

Fear Fire Damage.

had the hremen cleaning all the

Cool Weather Welcome.

Farmers and merchants are rejoic-
ding today over the change OF the tenn
perature. The cooler weather has put
vim into the Christmas shoppers. Al
bedtime last night 1t was almost sum-
mer weather. and winter weigh,
clothing was uncomfortable to the
wearer. About o'clock this morn
ing a rain fell, and following the
shower the weather man turned on
cooler weather. The lowest tempera-
ture reached last night was 40 de-
grees. and the mercury scared to 81
yesterday. Today the mercury has
been around 40 degrees, with colder
weather predicted for tonight.
The farmers are rejoicing because
the warm weather would have spoiled
the meat that has been killed, and
put in the smoke house. The change
in weather will eliminate the danger.
Several farmers stated today that the
warm weather had played havoc with
hams. One farmer with a quantity
Of meat on hand decided to place II
in the cold storage had the weather
not turned colder.
To the city poor, who have no fue
and little clothing, the change is moi
SO agreeable.

Legislature Never Made Pro.
vision For Extraordinary
Appropriation and There are
No Funds Available.

Frankfort. KY. Dec. 1S.-(spe-
cial) THE court OF appeals today
upheld the constitutlonality OF the
bill. appropriating 100000 to the
state university and $150,000 to each
|of two normal schools. The auditor
had declined to pay the money to the
trustees on advice of the attorney
general. There was not enough
money In the treasury TO pay the
amounts and IL may necessitate an
extra session of the legislature to
raise funds.
This appropriation of $500. 900
was made by the last legislature,
which did not provide any means for
raising the money. For several years
the state has been showing a deficit
of over 100000 in the funds for
current expenses, and when the pres
ent administration came In the first
OF last year. the treasury was almost

which were held up for several
months previous. in order to make a
showing.
Since then Treasurer Farley has
been making the funds go as far as
possible. endeayoring above all else
TO get the teachers OF the state paid
promptly.
On account OF lack Of funds. the
auditor refused TO recognize the de-
mands OF the institutions. which i'm
mejiately entered suit.
An effort probably will be made TO
defer payments until the legislature
IN regular session can make the neces
sary arrangements to secure the
funds.

tention that the Hams brothers hunt
