MISGUIDED ECONOMY.

Some of the Kentucky counties
which have purchased farms for the
maintenance of their poor, are talk
ing about selling them and going
back to the old system of letting out
the paupers to the lowest bidder.
This is a step backward A county
poor farm properly managed ought
not to show continuous deficit.
There are some instances where such
farms are more than self-supporting.
The system of letting out paupers to
the lowest bidder is bad, and the plan
of making yearly allowances for the
maintenance of paupers is unbusiness-
like. Every county should have an
almshouse, preferably connected with
a farm which can be so operated as
to reduce expenses. The wards of a
county are entitled to decent treat
ment and support, and tbs they sci
dom get unless there is properly
equipped almshouse There is a toe
general disposition to handle this
question from standpoint of econ
omy rather than of efficiency and com
mon humanity. Economy that srnacks
OF sting1ness and inhumanity is mo-
to be commended-Frank Stat,

THE JANUARY WOMAN'S
HOME COMPANION

One of the most interesting contri-
buttons to the January Woman's
Home Companion is an article by
Ralph Waldo Urine, entitled "Actu-
alizing Ones Ideals"in which the au-
thor makes many helpful suggestions
which the individual reader can ap-
ply in the conduct of his own life.
He shows, and shows admirably, how
any human being can acquire happi-
ness through work. 1t is all right
to have ideals, but true success and
contentment are not achieved unless
action accompanies ideals.

airy Companion are: Finding Happi.

DEFECT IN BASE
OF THE GOEBEL STATUE

On account of a defect in the base
of the statue of the late Governor
William Goebel, at Frankfort, the
Commissioners of the Sinking Fund
have refused to pay the $4,000 bal
ance due on the contract. The stat
lie was erected by W. Fl. Niehaus, of
New York, and has been placed in
the driveway in front of the State
Capitol. The 1904 Legislature ap-
propriated $4,000 for the statue and
$4,000 of this has been paid. The
defect, large crack on two sides OF
the base, is very noticeable. An eff
fort has been made to conceal the de
feet by filling the crack, but the cold
weather has caused it to become more
noticeable.

BILL TO CHANGE LAW
AS TO TEXT BOOKS.

Text book bills have ever been the
signal for a scrap in the Kentucky
General ASSEMBLY, and the one which
will be introduced at this years ses-
sion probably will be no exception.
Since 1900 the State adoption has
been in vogue, the county boards vot-
ing and the action of a majority of
them settling the question of text
books in all the rural schools of the
t State. The law has been amended,
providing for county adoption, but it
| has never been put to practice as
the last State contract does not expire
until this year. A bill will be intro
duced to change back to the old State
adoption system with some modifica
| tons, and school men as we'll as boob
| concerns are showing active interest

STATED
The recent high price of eggs has
caused the Farmers Union to conduct
an investigation into the poultry con-
ditions of the Nation, and Peter Rad
ford, lecturer of the National Farm
Union gave out the following state
ment concerning the conditions in
this State:
our egg crop in April, May and June,
although the consumption of eggs
runs very nearly even throughout
the entire year. The American far
mer to-day is paying the middleman
the princely sum of 1926, 100000 per
annum for storing and selling his
eggs. This sum of money would
build and equip sufficient storage to
care for the agricultural production
of the Nation. The value of the Ma
TONS egg production during decade
| is equivalent in value to all the farm
property in Texas; would build a
city the size of st. Louis and would
pay the National debt of Spain, ia
pan and the United States com
bined.
