the Buckley Company was at that time
the lowest bidder az 1908. 493 10. The
chief engineer Of the commission reported
against awarding the contract TO this
company for several reasons, chief Of
which was that the company lacked the
necessary experience and equipment to
handle a section Of work as difficult as
that in downtown Manhattan, the work
involving the supporting Of many build

The Sport of Auto. Hunting AT
Ni9ht Popular.

Mr.. MIN Buster, who lives near Bur
gin, is getting to be an expert in the new
sport known as shining" For the en-
lightenment of the uninitia:ed we will
say that shining" is hunting rabbits
from an automobile at night. Mr.. Bus
ter killed about dozen Bunnies in this
way the other evening. This kind of
hunting is getting quite popular in Mer-
Ger and Boyle, for the sportsman can
take his best girl or his wife along. II
you want to go shining get a reliable
chauffeur and run the machine out any
good country road some night and see
how many rabbits will be scared out Of
fence corners. The bunny will become
momentarily confused by the light and
noise of the car, and there's your chance
| for a good shot, otherwise he will soon
collect his wits and scamper away. 1t
is rare sport and a most exciting way of
hunting small game, as large territory
can be covered in a short while. Those
who have INDUCED in the sport are most
enthusiastic over it and some real ex-
perts are being developed among the To-
cal auto hunters. Harrodsburg Herald.

More Turkeys in Madison
Than Ever Known.

Madison county's crop of turkeys this
season was quite surprise, it being the
largest in many years, and while for the
Thanksgiving market the prices were
high for good, fat stock, for some reason
the farmer held on, even with the ship
pers at this point paying one to two
cents higher on foot than was paid else
where in the State.
The Eastern markets-New York,
Philadelphia, boston and other New
England points, were crowded with
dressed turkeys, yet from Kentucky the
shipments we're very light. There were
a great many turkeys that reached mar
ket in poor condition, owing to the pre-
vailing warm weather at slaughter time,
and prices realized were very low, so
Kentucky packers have recorded anoth-
er loss.
Present indications are that there will
be very heavy shipment made for
Christmas and prices on foot will be
much lower than at Thanksgiving. AT
many points the prices are new quoted
at lie to l3c, the highest yet offered for
fat, selected stock; for poor, thin birds
the prices range from &c 10 l0c per
pound.

Greenville put the proposition to the
citizens Of Central City and the fiscal
court to reconstruct stretch of road
seven miles in length from Greenville

it a layer Of coal slack twelve inches
thick. Coal slack can be easily OBJ

Gain in Rural School Enroll
ment.

Statistics compiled by E. R. Jones, Of
the department of education, for the re-
port of the department for the scholas-
tic year of 2-'13, shows that the ru-
raj school enrolment has increased 65.-
6O0 over last year, in face of the fact
that the school census shows decrease
of IA, 900 pupils. The total school cel-
sus for the year 19l2-'l3, which includes
city and rural pupils, is 745,00
The average attendance of the rural
schools has never equaled that of the
average attendance of the city schools
until the past year, and this is attribut-
ed to the establishment of the county
high schools. The establishment of the
county high schools has kept children
of the school age enrolled. where here
tofore only those attending the interme-
date school were enrolled.

ABAs MlDDLE.MAN
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
OPENS FIGHT ON HIGH COST
OF LIVING.
Kentucky is First State of Union to
Establish Free State Market
ing Bureau.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Louisville, Ky.-Elimination of the
'middle-man" between Kentucky farm
ers and consumers of farm products in
the cities of the state wit view OF
reducing prices to the consumer and
insuring larger profits for the pro-
ducers is the end sought In the estab-
lishment of state free marketing bu-
reau in Louisville, by the state board
of agriculture.
Announcement of this latest attack
on the "high-cost-of-living" was made
by Commissioner of Agriculture ]. w.
Newman, following a meeting Of the
Association of Commissioners of Agri-
culture of the Southern States at The
Seelbach. The plan was preached by
Mr.. Newman at this session and in
dorsed by his colleagues.
The commissioners of agriculture Of
the South not only passed resolution
favoring the establishment of similar
bureaus throughout the Southern
States, affiliated with the organization,
but conducted by the individual boards
of agriculture, but also favored a bu-
reau of the federal government coop
Grating with the state bureaus.
Through this means it is expected to
attack the problem of living from a
new angle.
Commissioner Newman's suggestion
came as surprise to other members
of the association at the convention,
but they fell into immediate accord
with his views.
Commissioner Newman told the
commissioners he had worked out a
plan for establishing free state mar.
keting bureau for Kentucky. Since no
state had taken this step, and since
what was done in Kentucky would
either meet the approval of the public
or its censure, he said he felt he would
| like to submit his entire plans to his
fellowcommissioners before announc
| ing 1t to the public.
