sionS and your occupations. You

Damage to crops compels many
to change occupations. 1t puts
some out of business. But the
public school in civilized state
never lags. Complicated commu-
nifty life compels young America
to have school education. The
public school teacher is constant
quantity. The salary of the teach
er is a never failing asset in com

Mrs. Harriet S. Campbell wish
es to organize an Associated
Charities in Mexico. She wishes
to take care of the poor, keep
their children from the street,
would organize the children, have
a night school and endeavor to
give them all they should have
from the public. Mrs. Campbell
assures the Message that her
work will be along the most ap-
proved lines, and she believes
she can materially improve con-
ditions among the poor in the
city. We are inclined to look
favorably upon her plan and
think that she should receive the
proper encouragement.

CITIES STILL BATTLE
Controversy Between Pine Knot and
Whitley City Reaches Courts.

Stearns, Ky.-The controversy over
the location OF the county seat of the
new county of McCreary, which has
been agitating the people of this Sec
ton for the past two years, was fur
Their complicated by the filing of con-
test suit in the McCreary circuit court
to set aside the result of the recent
election, which gave Whitley City the
county seat by a majority of 1S6 over
Pine Knot. Johnson, Wilson, Logan,
Harmon and others on behalf of Pine
Knot allege in the petition filed that
the calling of the election was not
done in accordance with the law; that
town lots of Whitley City were given
away to influence voters; that the con.
ditions of the election in some pre-
cincts were not legal, etc.
The Whitley City improvement Co..
with some nine or ten citizens, advo-
Gates of Whitley City, were made de-
PENDANTS to the suit. In the meantime
all county officers have moved their
Offices to Whitley City and are con.
Quoting the county affairs from that
point.

Protest Is Filled BY the L. & N.

Notwithstanding Federal Judge
Cochran decided recently that the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co.
must pay the state taxes on a fran
chise in Kentucky, valued at $23,000,-
600 for 1912, and those figures fixed on
a sixty-per-cent basis of valuation, the
company filed a statement with the
board of valuation and assessment, in
which it fixed the total value Of its
franchise for assessments in 1913 at
S2,569, 5S6.31. No reason is given in
the protest why Judge Cochran is ig-
nored by the company in determining
the value of its franchise for this year.

tons requesting the board to show the
rode, plan or principle used by the
board in arriving at the $4,000, 900,
the tentative assessment of the COM

asking if il used the stock and bond

IL members, a minimum salary OF
81, 200 and a maximum salary of $500
for county superintendent of public
schools, and a constitutional amend
ment providing that the state superin-
tendent of public institutions may sue
coed himself, will be among those that
will be pushed in the next legislature
by the Kentucky Educational Associa-
ton. The legislative committee of the

al the next session. Members Of the

public their program until the bills
being drafted by Secretary Thomas

purport will not be misunderstood and
undeserved opposition incurred.
Among the recommendations of the

ed school districts to pay tuition TO

| tax; abolition Of the old trustee sys-
tenn and the enlargement of the state

trict trustees for four years; making

sorry attendance law returnable before

THERE'S POETRY IN PIE.

There is probably no pie more gen.
orally liked than pumpkin, when it is
well made and properly seasoned. A
cup of sifted pumpkin. or at most a
cup and a quarter will make a good
sized pie. One or two eggs, a pint of
milk, sugar, ginger, a little cinnamon
or cloves, if one likes a dark pie, with
a few drops of lemon extract gives a
good flavor The richer the milk the
better the pie, of course.
Pineapple Pie.-Make a good rich
curst, add the pineapple with enough
sugar to sweeten, put a teaspoonful
of -four sifted over and then place the
top crust. Bake as usual. Long, slow
baking brings out the flavor of pine
apple as well as ordinary apple.
cornstarch Ple.-Scald a pint of
milk, add two tablespoonfuls of corn
starch, the beaten yolks of two eggs,
pinch of salt and a quarter of cup
of sugar; boil, then pour into a crust.
Cover with meringue made from the
whites with two tablespoonfuls of
sugar. Brown in oven. Flavor with
any desired favoring.
Cream Pie.-Bake a rich crust, and
when cool fill with sweetened whipped
cream favored with vanilla. Just be-
fore serving dot with bits of red jelly.
Sour Cream Pie.-Take a cupful of
sugar, CHOPPED raisins and sour cream;
add one egg well beaten, one-half
teaspoonful each of cinnamon, nutmeg
and salt. a fourth of teaspoon of
cloves and teaspoonful Of vinegar.
Bake with two crusts.
Apple custard.-Add cup of sugar
to a cupful of grated apple, two eggs
well beaten, one cup of sweet cream
and the grated rind Of lemon. Pour
into pie plate lined with pastry, and
bake.
Any fruit may be put into baked
shell. covered with egg white and
baked, making a very attractive pie.
