SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
Helping All the Sunday-schoois of
kentucky-Wants Your Co.
Operation.

The Kentucky Sunday-school Asso-
citation is combination of all of the
Sunday-schools of the state, under the
direction of a State Executive Commit
tee composed of representative men,
bers from all OF the Evangelical
churches. Its object is to produce in
each person true loyalty to his own
church. and to secure an earnest CO.
operation upon the part of all church
es to reach all who are not connected
with any Sunday-school and persuade
them to become students OF the Bible
and enrolled members in some Sun
day-school.
The field covered is the entire state
1000 Sunday-schOols, $4,000 officers
and teachers. and $4,000 pupils. A
county organization has been formed
in every county.
1t operates through conventions, in
stitutes, schools of method, rallies,
special meetings. visits to schools and
churches, printed leaflets on various
phases OF Sunday-school work, and the
circulation Of a monthly paper called
The Kentucky Sunday-school Re
porter" Through county and dis
trict officers. through personal visits
and letters from the state force the
best things are placed within the
reach Of the smallest school.
Last year. in addition to the Annual
State Convention and the Annual
School of Methods. county conventions
were held in about one hundred coun-
ties, six hundred district conventions
and one thousand rallies. Twenty in
stitutes were held lasting from three
to five days each.
There are five persons giving their
entire time to the work of the Associa-
tion-Rev. Geo. A. Joplin, General Sec
rotary; Rev. T. c. Gebauer and Mr..
w. ]. Vaughan, Field Workers; Miss
Maude l.. Dance, Elementary Field
Worker, and Miss Frances l.. Grigsby,
Office Secretary, while Mr. e. s. Bos-
A great part of the strength of the AS
ISOLATION is in the hundreds of splen-
did volunteer Sunday-school workers
who give much time without any pay.
Because of this organization, and the
fact that all churches are represented,
the largest amount of service can be
rendered at the least expense. Con-
ventions and Institutes can be held in
places where no denomination is
strong enough to hold such gatherings
alone, thus saving many weak schools
and discovering many neglected places.
Much of the work is truly Home Mis-
sion work. The Association sends its
workers wherever there is need With
out reference to the financial returns.
The Association has no income ex-
cept voluntary contributions from in
dividuals and Sunday-schools. In order
to do the work that was needed debt
Of $500 has accumulated, and all who
read this are asked to send some con-
tribution to Mr.. Clarence Watkins,
Treasurer, 712 Louisville Trust Build
ing, Louisville. to apply ON this debt.
The International Sunday-school
Convention will meet in Chicago ON
June 2S. A goal has been set for every
state to be out of debt by that time.
Most OF the Southern states have
reached the goal. Do not let Kentucky
fall behind the other states, Send your
contribution now and make ii Just as
large as You can. ...

ASSESSMENT BILLS AMENDED
Opponents of Measures Take Only

Baton Rouge.-Beaten in their eff

feat them on square-cut fight, the
opposition cabal in the Senate succeed

ments which in effect mean their
death.
Desertion Of four Senators who
have heretofore stood out for assess
ment reform accomplished the trick.
These Senator'S were in favor of both
the Roberts rural and the Manion ur-
ban assessment bills as whole, but
were induced to support the amend
ments on various grounds. The argu-
ments ranged from harmony" to "the
success of the bills.N
The Manion bill was amended to pro-
vide as follows:
That 1t should not apply to cities
under 5000 except that cities of from
1000 to 5000 might apply it by ordi-
nance of their governing authority.
That 1t should not apply to any city
unless the voters of that city should
first have voted to come in under it's
provisions at a referendum election
called for the purpose Signatures of
80 1-S per cent of the registered voters
are necessary to call such an cleo
ton.
That assessments made under the
bill shall not exceed so per cent of the

new HAVEN stockholders LOST MILLIONS
Interstate Commerce Commission Sub.
mits Amazing Compilation--Mo.
nopoIy Idea Dream.

Washington. - The story of the
reckless and profligate'' financial
operations of the, New Haven rail
road. one of the most remarkable
chapters in the history of American
railroads and American finance, was
revealed Monday by the interstate
commerce commission in report to
the senate of it's investigation of that
road
It told of millions used like stage
money, of corporations as pawns in
a titanic game with all New England S
transportation as a prize, which led
the New Haven in the ten years just
passed from the height of prosperity
to the point where a dividend has
been passed, where a dissolution suit
is threatening and where criminal in
dictments of many of the directors
who figured in deals are at least a
possibility.
Hampered by reluctant witnesses,
by burned books and by all the mazes
which lawyers invented to cover the
trail, the commission estimated that,
in the progress toward monopoliza.
ton of New England transportation,
the New Haven stockholders have
lost between $65,0OO,000 and 100000,
600, little of which they may recover.
In return, the report said, they have
on their hands properties which pay
no dividends, which eat into the earn.
ings of the parent road and which
will be burden on its capacity for
many years to come
OF the present directing head,
Chairman Howard Elliott and Walker
D. Hines, special counsel, the report
says:
They have co-operated with the
commission and rendered it substan.
tial assistance throughout this inyes-
tigation."

OUTPUT OF TEXAS COAL MINES
Ignite BEDS ARE OF AN ENOR-
NOUS EXTENT.
Production Nearly Evenly Divided Be-
tween Hard and Soft CoaI-Lay of
Land Which Deposits Are Found.

Washington.-The Texas coal out
put for 1913 amounted to 2,429,144
short tons, the value of which was
$4,288,920. The production was near
ly evenly divided between ignite and
bituminous coal, the greatest amount
being of the latter class. The 1913
figures were an increase over those
of 1912 by 240,532 short tons, or II
per cent in quantity, while the value
of the 1913 output exceeded that of
1912 by $633,176. Most of the in
crease came from the Ignite mines,
being about 190,451 short tons. The
production of bituminous coal in
creased 50,OS1 short tons.
The coal beds of Texas belong to
three Of the geologic systems-the
carboniferous, cretaceous and ter
tiary The carboniferous Goals are
found in the north.Central part of the
state, the principal mining operations
being in Eastland, Palo Pinto, Erath,
Wise and Young counties. The Gre
taceous Goals occur in the southern
portion of the State, and are mined
chiefly near Eagle Pass, in Maverick
County. The Goals of this district,
which extends into New Mexico and
are mined extensively at Ell FeniX,
near Sabinas, and at Esperanza, are
classed as bituminous Goals, and in
the southern portion of New Mexico
make fair-grade coke. The Ignite
beds are. of enormous extent and &C.
cur in a wide belt which stretches
from the Sabine on the northeast TO
the Rio Grande on the southwest,
Like the cretaceous Goals, these seem
to improve in quality to the south
west, and near Laredo, in Webb Coun-
ty, the Ignite is changed to higher
grade coal, approaching camel in
character and classed as bituminous.
The principal Ignite operations have
been carried on in Anderson, BastrOp,
Fayette, Henderson, Hopkins, Hous-
ton, Lee, Leon, Medina, Milam Rains.
Robertson, Shelby, Titus, Van Zandt
and Wood counties.
The development Of the Ignite re-
sources of Texas began in the closing
decade of the nineteenth century, and
except for temporary setback in 1902
and 1903, after the discovery of pc.
troleum near Beaumont, has progress
ed steadily with the development and
growth in population. Ignite is
found to be an excellent fuel for the
gas producer, and the vast resources
of Texas, in this regard possess great
potentialities for the future.
