any way they can. l have met a

good crop. John Burchett Is only
three miles from ME but never
have seen him. Everyone seems 10
be doing well here, keep plenty Of
horses and cows and hogs. There are
plenty of squirrels. rabbits and
coons here to hunt, and there Is a
good place here at Harrisonville for
a blacksmith shop and machine shop.
There are so many motor cars get
crippled here and SO many threshing
engines to repair and all have to go
to Portsmouth for repairs We nesd
a watch maker here to do repair
work. and there are plenty Of op-
portunities here IL men will come
and look after them.
If this escapes the waste basket
this time will write again when

invite all our friends to come and
see us. We have good farm here
and good crop on it. After We

Farm Demonstration Work.

The Henderson Commercial Club
recently has been making an effort
to secure the services of an expert
from the United States Department
of Agriculture to study soil condi-
tion and engage in agricultural ex-
tension work in Henderson county.
Some inquiries to the Office "
Farm Management in relation to the
cost of the work elected the follow
ing reply:
"The expense for carrying on this
work is usually calculated about MS
follows. The salary of such a man
will be from s1,400 to s1.SOO. and
the field expenses will probably be
something like 5000 per year. In
the agreements made by this office,
the local institution cooperating in
employing such a man will furnish
an office in the county seat of the
county or in some town furnishing a
good location for such work. Some
times this money is furnished by the
Board OF Trade or Commercial Club,
which raises the money through It's
individual members and farmers in
the community. Sometime icdividc-
ais give a considerable amonat who
are especially interested in such
work. Sometimes 1t may be possible
for the Fiscal Court of the county
to raise the money by taxation. I
presume that in Kentucky the pres
ent laws do not permit the Fiscal
Court to do this. There should, how
ever, be law passed in each State
giving 1t permission. In this way
every farmer in the county will feel
that he is having part in the en-
ployment of such a man, and of
course this would be the best policy,
but until such laws are passed the
money win have to be raised by
voluntary contributions from indi-
viduals and organizations. /"
This is matter which deserves
more attention than it has been re-
ceiving OF the State. The Depars-
ment of Agriculture. through its Of
flee of Farm Management, will SUP
ply experts provided the communi-
ties which desire their services viii
pay half the salary and expenses.
On these terms any county or To-
cality may secure such man by
raising a fund Of 81 900 to $1,000
to pay its proportionate share Of
the expenses. The value Of agrlcul-
tural demonstration has beea
thoroughly established and cota-
mercial organizations In some parts
OF the country are encouraging It a.

because they were dependent and
had no homes to go to. Arrange
ments have been made with the
Kentucky Home Society to take
these children under their charge
and find them homes in good fami-

IL Is the intention OF the board
to give every child in the Houses OF
Reform an education and training.
and TO surround them with every
care and comfort that their physi-

These are some of the things
that the new Board OF Prison Com

be instituted at an early date. A
rule has been adopted that any
guard or other employe OF the prIs-

drunk on or off duty will be dis
charged.

were assessed from SIS to $3.50 3

What is the Price?

The above question is heard n
business circles probably oftencr
than any other. Every customer
wishes to know before purchasing,
what the cost is to be. This is wise:
and 1t would also be wise in all the
affairs of life. before committing our
selves to anything, to pause and in
quire. what is the price?" For to
everything in this world there is af-
fixed a price, and the price that
must be paid. We may for a time
lose sight of this fact, but 1t Is o
fact still and will reassert itself
when we least expect it. The thief
may forget in his momentary temp
tation to steal that there is a price
attached to stealing; but when he
stands behind iron bars and the
dreary round of the prison is grind
ing the life out of him, he will re-
member that the price must be paid.
And so in everything else. Every
action, great or small, has its own
price attached. Delay it as long as
you can. BATTLE with the workings of
Providence as you will. the account
must be paid. In all your actions
then, count the cost. Ask yourself
always, what is the price?" You
will frequently hear customer in
form the merchant that the price is
too high. Beware, in the market OF
life. of purchasing the things that
are too dear. when tempted to vio-
late the law Of the land. look on

THE ORIGINAL ADVERTISER.

Nature was the first advertiser.
Her advertisements assumed var
ious forms and every form was honest.
Nature could never be enmeshed
by the Pure Food and Drug Law for
false and misleading advertisements.
She always tells what is so.
Pain is Natures way Of advertising
that something is wrong with the ply
sical side of man.
Bad odor is her way of telling OF
dec,y.
Thunder is the advance announce
ment OF a storm.
The cackle of hen is a top-of-col-
umn ad there's an egg in the nest.
and the crow Of rooster is n bold
statement that the advertiser has faith
in his provinces and challenges com
bat.
