CAPITAL CREAMERY SHOWS
LARGE INCREASE FOR 1912

Recently the secretary of states de-
partment issued a pamphlet devoted
to recommendations that more atten-
ton be paid to the dairying industry
IN Washington. In Thurston county
this phase of farming has already
gained a foothOld and the output of
milk, cream and butter is reacing an
appreciable figure.
One indication of this is the con-
stantly increasing business of the Can.
ital City Creamery company on Column

This concern has paid to dairymen
within the past year for butterfat
churned into butter $47,36O. for butter.

Development In Coal Output

As the Lexington & Eastern rail-
roads North Fork extension nears
completion, coal operators and de-
velopements become more and N ore
active in the Elkhorn coal fields.
N and around Whitesburg there
will be several operations. Princi-
pal among them are the Moss Coal
Company and the Letcher County
Coal Company the latter of which
NJ. J.. Moss, of Pineville. is snancins
while in the section above here there
will be a number of gigantic opera
tions-principally among them will
be the big operation OF the Consoli.
dated Coal Company, in the new
city of McRoberts, on Wright's fork
the terminus of the l.. & Z. road.
Here the Consolidation Coal Com.
pany will have eight drift.mouth
mines and do an enormous business.
The Mineral Developement Com.
pany, the NEXT largest concern, will
have two or three big plants.
AT Hazard, Perry county, there
are five or six companies starting
developement work, some of which
have already begun shipping coal.
The Jones Bros Coal Company, the
Johnson Coal Company and the Jel-
leo Coal Company. have started
work
1t is safely estimated that by the
completion of the L. & Z. road and
the opening Of the great Elkhorn
coal field the coal tonnage of the
State will be doubled. while branch
lines are to be extended, all OF which

WHAT TOADS
ARE WORTH
Regarded AS fhe Great
est Bug ExterminatOr
In the World

Science offers a new solution for
the bug problem. 1t is to employ.
in its professional capacity, so to
speak, the toad the ordinary hop
toad of the field and garden-as an
insect destroyer, declares a writer
to the Technical World Magazine.
In this business the humble toads
is unequaled by any other living an.
imal. He is the greatest bug exter.
mlnator in the world. 1t is entire.
ly practicable to utilize his services
on an extensive scale, employing
him Systematically as an ally, TO
keep in check the insects which levy
an annual tax of over eight hun
dred million dollars upon our agri.
cultural resources.
There is no reason why the farm.
ers of the country should not hatch
and rear their own supply of toads,
for local service. With a pond. or
even a small pool insured against
drying up in the spring, the creatur.
es will breed Of their own accord in
any desired numbers up to the limit
OF the food supply available in the
shape of insects. But one thing
absolutely essential is that thew
shall be protected against their ma.
tural enemies, and by no means the
least destructive of their enemies
are small boys who, through mere
thoughtfulness, kill toads whenever
they get a chance.
1t is estimated that an AVERAGE
toad is worth to the farmer FIVE
dollars year for the cut.worms
alone which it destroys. But this
is only one item. The amount a
toad will eat is astonishing A large
specimen has been known to devour
one hundred rose-beetles at a singl.
meal.
One toad needed seventy.seven
myriapods-the common household
centipede-to satisfy his annette.
another hity-fve gypsy.moth cater.
pillars. Still another toad was
seen to eat thirty-fve large, full
grown celery worms in three hours
while another accepted eighty six
flies; ted to him, in less than ten
minutes.
1t is common thing, when the
occupants of an ants nest are
swarming, and the insects are en-.
crying in large numbers, TO see an
enterprizing toad sit at the entrace
of the burrow and snap no every
ant that comes out. The slaughter
he accomplishes under such circun.
stances is frightful. But, of course
most ants are not as insects iniur;.
Gus to man; and the toad unoue..
tionably destroys some species
which are beneficial to the far,
Upon tie whole, he is immensely
useful, devonring countless numbers
OF the very worst bug Toes of the
crop.

FRANKFORT, KY. July 81
Sustaining Assistant Attorney Gen.

public drinking cup act does not APP
ply to public schools. Attorney ten.
eral Garnett Friday issued a state
ment in which he says that while
the law does not apply to public
sch OILS he is heartily in favor of the
decision of Superintendent of Public
Instruction Hamlet to enforce sep
arate drinking cups in the schools
He says that the Superintendent
OF Public Instruction has the authc r.

with the ruling regarding the public
drinking cup.
State Board Says Thew Must Be Used
The State Board OF Education
composer OF the State Superintend.
ent OF Public Instruction, Attorney
General and Secretary of State, is.
sued an order today promulgating
the ruling that common drinking
cups must not be permitted in the
public schools and that each child
must have an individual drinking
cup Ct his own.
The ruling was sent out TODAY
to al the county school superint nd
ents with instructions To see that
the teachers complied with the rul
ing,
This order by the State Board is
made necessary by the fact that
the recent legislative act abolishing
the public drinking cup did not
mention schools, and while Attorney
General Garrett decided that il did
not apply to schools, he is heartily
in favor OF having school children
use individual cups to prevent the
spread of dangerous diseases, and
voted with the other members of
the Board to promulgate the order

Very Successful IN Every
Respect and Indications are
that County Seat of nc
Creory Will be Located
There
More Than 1000 People on
the Grounds on Day of
Sale and Many Re-
ceiVed Handsome
Presents

The lot sale in Whitley CITY in
the new County of McCrearv was
one of the most successful ever con.
duct d IN Kentucky. Early Satur.
day morning the people b,gan
driving and riding into town in all
kinds OF conveyances. some in vehic.
les, some horseback and some on
loot and nv the time that the spec
ial trains began ! o arrive there must
have been more than one thousand
people on the grounds When the
three trains arrived and deposited
their cargo Of human freight it was
estimated that there W re between
four and five thousand people present
eager to have looR at the location
that is believed TO he the county
seat of the new county.
The special train from somerset
brought with il the Barbourville
Redmtn's band which further added
to the general good feeling that ex-
listed among the crowd by rendering
lively music and the crowd then
proceeded to the grounds selected
where hand and speakers stand
had been erected and decorated with
red, white and blue. Here the gen.
eral outline of the plans Of the sale
were explained and the big sale was
on. The first plan tried was that OF
selling lot bv auction, this merely
as a test case to see how that plan
would work, and this lot was bid up
to 100000 when Judge Sampson
ordered the bidding to stop. giving
as his reason that in this manner
few men with wealth would secure
the best lots and that the common
man would he left. Then it was de.
cided to sell each lot at 5000 aud
when all were sold to proceed with
tie Government plan of allotment
and draw for the position of each
lot. This caused a general stampede
to the tables where clerks were
waiting to sell the lots, and from
that on until about 4 o'clock p. m
the force of eight clerks were kept
busy and it is said that more than
$500 lots were sold in this way be-
fore the drawing began.
Meanwhile the crowd was enter
tanned by Major Combs, of the
Bowman Reality Co., of Hunting
ton, W. Va, which firm assisted in
conducting the sale, who kept the
crowd in an uproar with his funny
jokes and brilliant repartee.
The crowd was also in fever of
excitement and expectation on ac-
count of the handsome presents that
were being given away free, among
which were % lots in the plot select
ed within the city limits. Two of
these lots we're drawn by citizens Of
Barbourville, MIR. Tom Mcdonald
and viii Mcdaniel.
Considerable interest was shown
in the Greasy pole climb, the win
ner of which received the ten dollar
bill deposited on the top OF the pole.
Quite a number of youngsters com.
peted in this event, and after the
pole had been scaled quite dis
lance up, a young man filled his
pockets with sand and alter climb
ing a piece would stop and sand up
and in this manner finally reached
up and pulled down the prize, amid
the shouts OF approval from The
crowd.
