FOR A NEW CITY HALL
LEXINGTON WILL VOTE ON BOND
PROPOSITION IN NOVEMBER.
Mayor j. E. Cassidy Favors 100000
Bond Issue For New City
Building.

Lexington, Ky.-The Board of City
Commissioners at its last meeting hav-
ing passed an ordinance submitting to
a vote of the people at the November
election proposition for a bond issue
of 100000 with which to build new
city hall, Mayor J. E. Cassidy is max
ing arrangements for compaign with
facts and figures in support of the
indebtedness being incurred. Mayor
Cassidy says that the total indebted
ness of the city of Lexington is lit
tie more than $1,000,000, which is only
about one-half of the bond issue which
the city is permitted to issue under its
charter. The charter fixes the limit
at 10 per cent of the assessed valua-
ton, which in Lexington is $23, $685. 600.
The city voted at the last election
for $4,000 in park bonds and $200,00
for the North Side trunk line sewer
and sewage disposition plant. These
bonds have not yet been sold, but,
including them, the total debt of the
city, including bonds, floating debt,
school debt and school bonds, is about
$1,323,000
At the coming election a vote will
be taken not only upon the issue OF
100000 for city hall bonds, but $780,
600 for new school buildings and $780,
900 for Gratz Park. In addition, vote
will be taken upon establishing tu-
berculosis sanatorium for the county
at an expense estimated at 100000,
of which about so per cent must be
paid by the city.

not every person or any person can
make it pay. The reason for all these
wrong ideas is that they have made
their plunge" without reasoning out

led. continuously to succeed.
In gathering material for this arti-
Gle, the writer visited the poultry
yards of many successful and many
unsuccessful poultrymen. In the yards
of those that were successful the first.
thing that attracted his attention was
the cleanliness of both houses and
yards. One breeder in particular used
lime so that it looked as If the drop
ping boards were concrete He did
not sprinkle the lime around in heaps,
as is commonly done. but he dipped a
broom in the lime and then swept the
boards of. The result was that ev-
erything was cleaned in an attractive
way, and the lime was not SO easily
stirred up. If lime is sprinkled in lit
tie heaps and the fowls become ex-
cited, they are liable to stir it up so
they can hardly breathe. If this hap
pens, it will seriously retard the
growth of young chickens. The yards
of this breeder were swept every
morning when the weather conditions
were favorable. OF course, that part
which he was cultiyating for green
food was not disturbed or the part he
had reserved for dust baths. When
he had all the rubbish swept up, he
did not pile it in some corner, but it
was burned Immediately. Here lies
one of the secrets of his success.
The next point that was noticed was
that every man had thoroughbred
stock. Some had paid as high as $40
per bird. This does not seem high
to the professional poultryman, but
when the average person reaches
the point where he is willing to pay
that much, it shows he realizes what
is needed to make a success. When
one visits a poultry yard and finds
fine, thoroughbred stock he invariably
becomes a friend of the owner. The
birds are not only pleasing to the eye,
but they actually earn their salt.
it has been said that thoroughbred
bird requires less care, feed and
equipment to make a success than q

WOMAN SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
Maintained Headquarters at the State
Fair and<Entertained Many Ladies',

Louisville, KY. = The Louisville
Woman's Suffrage association had
tent at the state fair dur
ing the week of the fair, and
has done good work in spreading lit
erature, badges and enthusiasm among
the thousands who have paused. The
effort was made to have the tent a
woman's headquarters, and everything
that could be done for the comfort of
visitors was done. There were daily
speeches which attracted large crowds.
Gay young girls were on hand and
pinned thousands of badges on to peo-
pie from all over the commonwealth.
Over a thousand new members were
added to the local and state associa-
lions. Hundredsof badges and buttons
were sold daily and great quantities
of literature distributed. Among the
speakers were Mrs. Desha Breckin-
ridge, Mr.. S. ]. Duncan, Clark, DR.. E.
c. Powell and Mrs. L. S. Bernheim. A
trained Kindergarten was OF hand ev-
cry afternoon to look after the chill
dren who were amused while the
mothers were occupied or resting.
There was story hour every after
noon and a sand pile and all sorts of
games. There was no more popular
place on the fair grounds than the suf-
frage tent, and the results made the
effort distinctly worth while.

Those who are interested in poul-
try raising are eager for all the in
formation that they can obtain from
those who have succeeded. But they
never consult or investigate the meth
DDS Of the unfortunate one, who has
failed to be successful If they would
do SO, they would obtain more infor-
nation than if they would read all
the poultry books in existence. When
they do ask the one who failed, he al
ways gives the answer that there
isn't any money in the poultry busl-
ness" They must investigate for
themselves, and never allow their
opinions regarding poultry to be in
f1uenced by others. The statement
that poultry is improbable is without
foundation. The fact that eggse and
what the results may be. The poultry
poultry today command better price
than ever before shows that the de-
mand exceeds the production, and we
all know that where this is the case,
the production of poultry and eggs
will be profitable; of course there are
many rules that have 10 be followed
before this can be realized.
The great reason why so many have
failed is because they have the wrong
idea of the business AS a rule, they
think that if one has chickens-no
matter what kind, and if he feeds
them, he ought to realize profit. They
have the idea that all one has to do
is to invest a few dollars in poultry
and before long he will be receiving
such an income from the business to
make living" They do not realize
that it takes knowledge and business
ability to make a success, and that
