Frankfort. Ky.--A report on the ex-
animation OF the Citizens National
Life Insurance Co., OF Louisville, was
filed with Commissioner Of Insurance
M. c. Clay by G. NJ. Thomas, exam
liner. The report is volumlnous. and
contains several recommendation
for reform in the management OF the
affairs of the company. Several OF the
recommendations such as reducing
the salary of the president to $4,000
per annum, reduction in the cost OF
obtaining new business, the abolition
Of the treasurer's Office at Mayfield,
and the preparation Of mortgage loan
papers in the manner suggested by
the examiners, have been complied
with. The report in part follows:
ut is stated that the treasurer or his
assistant personally inspected every
property on which a mortgage loan has
been made. No written report is in
existence in any case. No description
Of the property except the bare legal
definition as given in the deed OF alb
Stract is found with the papers, and
the appraisement consists merely OF
an annexed statement of value in dol
lars made under oath by two individ-
uals Of unknown competency. All Of
these loans are made at 6 per cent,
even is districts where higher rates
prevail. The officers explain that many
loans are made to stockholders or pol
icy holders, and that 1t is desired to
treat all alike. This does not seem
a satisfactory reason for sacrificing
much-needed revenue"

TUTORS POSTPONE ACTION
Public Aid for Teachers Annuity Fund
Meets With Opposition.

Louisville, Ky.-The proposition to
amend the teachers annuity act to
permit the board OF education to con-
tribute TO the fund from public money
was opposed by Lieut.. Gov f. j. Nc
Dermott, Supt. f. o. Holland, Peter
Lee Anterior and the Rev. DIR. f. Y.
Mullins at a conference OF the public
schools teachers in the auditorium OF
the Broadway school. The teachers
voted to defer action. II has been
argued that under the present law
teachers who become eligible TO retire
in 1915 will receive about $50 instead
of from 5000 to $500, as expected. and
that owing 10 a sinking fund feature
the act would not serve as its trainers
intended for ten years. 1t was sug-
gested that the law be amended where
by the board OF education could con-
tribute to the fund. Lieut.. Gov. Mo
Dermott said he did not believe tie
legislators would agree to such an
amendment; that a firemen's and po-
licemen's pension was in operation,
and that the masses are not pensioned.

BIOLOGICAL GARDEN
Game Preserves ~ Louisville Say
Grounds To Be Stocked With
ELI, o,sr, Buffalo. etc.

Louisville, Ky.-With ]. Quincy
Ward, executive agent of the Ken
lucky Fish and Game Commission, ].
w. Newman, State Commissioner Of
Agriculture, visited the state fair
grounds and laid of twenty acres Of
ground in the vicinity of Paddy's Run
for use as a game preserve. A wire
fence, eight feet high, is to be built
around it, and number of shelter
houses are to be erected. The pre-
serve is to he stocked with elk, deer,
buffalo, pheasants and various kinds
of water fowl. The stocking of the
preserve IS to be done by the State
Fish and Game Commission" said
Commissioner Newman last night,
"and by next spring we expect to have
the nucleus there for mammoth ZOO
logical garden. About half the ground
that has been laid off for the preserve
is woodland, and the other half is pas
ture. In the center will be a cement
fountain for the water fowl"
Commissioner Newman said that as
soon as the game preserve is in oper-
alton, three or his aims in connection
with the state fair will have been at
tanned. Soon after the present perma-
nent site for the state fair was de-
cided upon, he said, he determined to
have established upon it fish hatch
cry, a forest reservation and a game
preserve. The first hatchery and for
est reservation are already in opera
ton. The former was established by
the federal government, and the latter
by the Kentucky Forestry Commits
sion.
81 am now determined to have erect
ed on the fair grounds mammoth
building for proper displays Of Ken
tucky's natural resources" Mr.. New
man said. "Of course. this will take
money, and | don't know how long it
will be before my desire in that direc-
ton will be realized"
Commissioner Newman said the
Kentucky state fair is destined to be-
come a great educational institution.

Lexington, Ky.-Until a few years

ural resources had not been developed.
During the past few years capital has
invaded these mountains and a score
Of new towns have sprung into exist

built railroads.
Emin Elan, a journalist OF consider
able prominence in eastern Kentucky
and the publisher of the Salyersville

following article regarding the news
papers Of eastern Kentucky, which is
OF general interest;
What is doing more for the rapid
development OF the mountains Of East

thereof? Each county has one or more
newspapers, and what organ or insu-
tuition can do more toward bringing
out the good things we have or por-
traying, so to speak, our natural re-
sources to men of capital? Then, who
is doing so much to lift up our baili-
wick socially, educationally, religious

Frankfort, Ky.-T. J. Coates, state

eggs in cartons holding a dozen to
their agent in Minneapolis, fifty miles
away, on a guaranty. receiving three
cents dozen above the market price
for their products.
The most perfect cooperative sys-

a farmer produces from his COWS, the
more he gets from the creamery.
