School Per Capita.

Based ION an estimate of 3,038, 900
revenue for the present fiscal year, the
school per capita apportionment will
remain 81, the same as last year.
The total scholastic census is 721, 1913,
a decrease of 1926 from last year.
This is due to the close scrutiny of re-
turns, and represents a considerable
trimming in the returns, allowing for
a general increase of 25 per cent, in
the scholastic population from year to
year. This estimate revenue
would permit of a capita apportion-
ment of S4.20, but the possibility of
revenue falling short of the estimate
made it advisable, Supt. Hamlett said
to allow a margin.
With a total scholastic population of
57,263 the 81 per capita will give the
city of Louisville $229,O52 and Jeffer-
son county, with a population of TO-
6l2, will receive from the State S42,-
44S.
A comparison of the census of 1912
and 1913 follows.

The real work of the county clerks
of the State began in comparing and
investigating the nominating petitions
filed by candidates seeking entrance
in the August primary. In addition,
what makes matters worse, the county
clerks get no additional compensation
for their services. In counties hav-
ing large cities great amount of ex-
ira work is entailed on county clerks
by the new State primary law, and
while they get no extra pay for it,
they are under heavy penalty to see
that every requirement of the law is
met.

Illness. a Victim Of Typhoid
Fever.
The Whole NeiehborhOOd In Sorrow.

Tuesday afternoon, the 18TH, inst,
there went out from the home of
former Senator, w. f. Neat, beauti-
full life in the person of his beloved
daughter, Miss Pearl, who was the
idol of fond parents and dearly loved
by her brothers and sisters.
Modest and unassuming, she was a
marked young woman for her many
traits of Christian character, and her
place can not be filled in the home
where hearts bleed for the loved one.
She will be missed from the church
and social circle, as she was religious
worker and in social life she stood for
the high ideals.
Her bright face will not again cheer
the home with song and laughter, but
IN the Celestial City her going adds
another star to the galaxy where the
many now rest from their earthly la
borS.
This paper is in the deepest SYM
pathy for the aged parents, brothers
and sisters, and may God comfort and
sustain them in this hour of great sor-
row, is our sincere wish.
Funeral and interment was at Taber-
nacle church, on Green river, where
the deceased was born, a large con-
course of sympathizing friends. being
present. Eds. w. G. Montgomery
and E. J. Barger conducted the SER

author shows how scientific cooking is
