only matter of short time unit
such teaching will be required ant
the teacher must be qualified in thu
elements of scientific agriculture
Better pay for teachers is a crying
need, especially IL Kentucky. bu
any bill introduced into our legis
lature to increase the pay of teach
ers would have . hard chance oi
passage largely on account of the
lack of funds in the state treasury
Consider this condition for mo-
! ment. We know that a state is but
an enlarged picture OF the average
citizen of that state and naturally
the wealth of a state is commensur-
ate with the wealth or earning ca
pacity of the average citizen. That
La trained farmer can make an acre
! produce so per cent and often many
hundred per cent more than it has
formerly produced, has been prov
en- too often to need words here.
Obviously the whole subject resolves
itself into the fact that 1t is su-
premely important that every child
should be given chance to learn
the scientific principles of agricul-
ture.
European countries have demon
strated the fact that soil may be
used for hundreds of years and in
stead of being depleted. may be
made the better for having been
used.
Agriculture is the mainstay of
Kentucky and Kentucky's agricul-
tural progress will be measured by
the development of her live stock
industry. The live stock interests
of the state have made such i'm
provement in the last few years and
bid fair to regain the former pre-
stige of Kentucky in the live stock.
If live stock and live stock products
alone could be sold from Kentucky
farms for ten years. the increase in
fertility and productive power would
be marvellous.
Every part of the state is well
suited for some kind of agriculture.
For example, while general farming
on an extensive scale may not be
possible in the mountains, the poul-
try and horticultural interests
should be highly developed. To
avoid failure, one principle should
be observed and that is. to begin on
a small scale and grow into the
business.
One of the best possible projects
for any boy or girl is to get few
fowls of some good breed, or even
few eggs, and make a beginning,
using all the information available
as to the best methods of feeding,
breeding and management. Again
and again 1t has been demonstrated
that the pure bred animal of any
class of live stock is more profit
able than the scrub. hence the i'm
portance of beginning right. A pair
of pure bred pigs well cared for
would be a benefit, not only to the
boy making the investment, but al
SO to his neighbors.
We might continue indefinitely to
name easy possibilities for the farm
boy or girl in any section of the
state. The Agricultural College or
Experiment Station at Lexington Is
ready and glad to help any person
in the state who is trying to succeed
in any agricultural undertaking, and
their services are free.

Montenegrins Cross Into sanjak

Constantinople. Turkey. October 12.- Montenegrins crossed the border into San jak and are now attacking Seinitza, ac- cording to official information received by the Porte today. Seinitza is town close to the frontier of Servia.
 The text of the collective note handed in by the powers to the Ottoman Thurs day Is as follows:
 '"The undersigned ambassadors of Aus tria, Hungary. Great Britain, France Russia and Germany have been instructed by their respective governments to in form the Sublime Porte that the five pow CTS take note of the intention of Turkes publicly announced to introduce reforms and they will Immediately discuss w!,f the Porte in the spirit of Article 23 oi the treaty of Berlin and the law of 1SSl the reforms required in the administra- tion of European Turkeys and the meas ures of obtaining their realization in the interest of the population.

Italian Situation

Paris. october 12--Italyl tonight granted Turkey three days grace to de- eide whether it shall be peace or con- tinuance of the war. If by Tuesday evening the Turkish government is not prepared to sign the protocol the Italian fleet will immediately be dis patched to strike blow at more vital part of the ottoman than has yet been reached.
 The threatened rupture of the nego- tiations between the Italian and Turk ish representatives at Ouchy has oc- cupied the diplomats of Europe today almost to the exclusion of the Balkan imbroglio. The powers have concern trated their efforts to prevent Turkey from placing in the hands of the Bal kan federation such a trump card as would be the failure of the pourparlero, the result of which have been a large factor in causing the hesitation of Bull garia, Greece and Servia to declare war.

Tushi Is Invested

Podgortza, Montenegro, October 12.- After an engagement lasting until mid day, the Alontenegrins broke through the Turkish ranks near Tushi and invested the town which is cut off from Scutari.
 The Montenegrin army has been fight ing for four days along the whole frontier penetrating Turkish territory slowly. ow- ing to the many Notifications. The Turks have burned several Malissori villages.
 Many wounded Turks have been brought to Podgortza.
 Details of the storming of Detichitch mountain by the Montenegrin troops show that the Montenegrins lost 120 killed and 400 wounded.
 Official dispatches from the southern army say the Turks attempted to take the counter offensive Friday and were driven away.

 Officials of the railroad yesterday eve ming were hard to find, in so far as reporters were concerned, and 1t was impossible to obtain a statement as to the possible cause of the accident. How ever, a statement which is credited with coming from the dead engineer, who conversed with friends almost an hour sefore his death, was to the effect that the engine had jumped the rails be- cause the switch at South switch Sta- ton was open.

Run on Postal Bank

Omaha, Neb., October PA run" on the postal savings bank at South Omaha today by 100 Greeks made 1t necessary for that institution to call on the treasury at Washington for funds. The Greeks who have been heavy depositors withdrew their money in order to start to the aid of their country in the event of war with Turkey.
 An emergency fund Is kept in Washing ton to meet such demands, but this is said to be the first time d call has been made against it to meet withdrawals. While authority to draw on the government local national depository was being ob- tained by wire. local banks furnished funds for temporary requirements.
 The withdrawals today were made en- tirely by Greeks. The run is consid- cred as having no significance from financial viewpoint.

 Single Handed-Reign of
 Terror at Rawlings
ELEVEN ARE AT LARGE

Rawlings. Wyo october 12.-Twenty
 convicts led by the notorious, Jim Dal- ton. member of the Whitney gang of hank robbers, escaped through broken fence in the penitentiary yard this aft ernoon. Eleven still were at large to- night and the possibility of their re- ca apture is remote. It is believed they gained the hills north of the town be- fore nightfall.
 The reign of terror which holds the
 town tonight began at o'clock this afternoon when from the penitentiary
 burst a bedlam of shouts of convicts and through the street 19 men in the prison uniform ran in a body. Horses tethered in front of stores were seized by the leaders and bore them at breakneck speed through the
 town and away to the hills, outdistanc- ing the guards that closed in on the rear of the fugtives after losing precious minutes Investigating the cause of the uproar in the cells.
 Meanwhile four of thee onvicts seized a grocery wagon and compelled the boy driver to race for the hills. When the horse gave out they loaded themselves with provisions and ran.
 -Four of the fugitives hiding in canyon north of Rawlings were caught half an hour after the outbreak and fifth was captured while making for the railroad tracks. Three were cor nered in another canyon a mile west of the town by mounted pursuers, but have not been taken.
 The guards returning with the five prisoners were greeted by the convicts with groans and 1t was then discovered in the excitement of the pursuit an other prisoner had escaped. making 20 in all
 Shortly before ' o'clock tonight four tugitives were discovered hiding in barn within block of the prison. Two were caught by guards, but two got away from the officers, who feared to fire because of a crowd in the vicinity. A little later Warden Aston arrived at the penitentiary with two men he had taken single handed.
 A searching party of citizens is SCOUT ing the vicinity and armed men patrol | the streets to prevent a possible night l descent of the convicts in search or | clothing and arms.
