Gifts.

2 Many useful gifts of furniture, cloth ing, vegetables, fruit, books and mag aztnes, including two daily papers, and a few small sums of money have been received. These have been greatly appreciated, put into immediate use. and have been a help and comfort to those girls who have had only half a chance in the rough battle for exis- tence. The very rapid growth of our work makes ever increasing needs, some immediate and imperative.
 Immediate Needs.
 The greatest need at the present mo- ment Is more help, to properly conduct the live business which we find on our hands today. There must be at least a superintendent an executive secre- tary, a. cook, and a maid or general houseworker.
 The perfect running of the house is dependent on the reliability of its workers. Transient or sick inmates do not meet this feature of reliability. The health, or mind, or both, of prac- tically all applicants is impaired in varying degrees and therefore no con tsnued dependence can be placed up- on their assistance.
 There should be someone at head quarters. perfectly familiar with the and emergencies who regularly and de- pendably conducts it's necessary daily routine. This Is emphatica,lly true when inmates arg few and those few lin.
 To make 1t possible for the superin tendent to do her legitimate work, this assistance is indispensable. While tils superintendent, at all times, has been willing to meet great emergencies, un-

Harrodsburg, Ky.-lt is only few
weeks since the question of moonlight
schools In Mercer first began to be
agitated. The county superintendent
Miss Ora Adams, who was among the
first to organize corn clubs, canning

proposal TO establish moonlight
schools in a systematic manner, and
as a result there are now ten of these
night schools hard at work and they
are attended by both men and women
who were unable to read. Many OF
the latter can now read and many are
rapidly learning to write. The schools
are located In the country precincts

GOOD ROADS MEETING
Impetus Given Good Roads Building
at Meeting Of County Judges.


Louisville, ky.-Impetus was given
to good road building in Kentucky at
meeting of the Association of County
Judges at the court house, attended by
20 officials from various sections OF
the state. With the assistance OF r.
c Terrell, state highway commission
er, the judges we're thoroughly en-.
lightened on the law recently passed
by the general assembly relative to
state and In building good roads.
Commissioner Terrell said Il was
Imperative that the efforts OF his de-
partment receive the earnest support
Of the county judges If results were to
be obtained, and that with good roads
abounding In the various counties the
judges responsible would leave a mon
ument to their memory that would live
Tor all time. He said incompetency
displayed by many men heretofore in
charge Of road building, as shown In
examinations of applicants for posi-
lions as road engineers, was astonish1
Ing. In many instances, he said, these
men had been in charge of the work
In their respective counties for years
because OF a political pull or because
of friendship of the appointing power,
and counties had paid out thousands Of
dollars without receiving any good re-
suits
Under the new road law Kentucky
viii raise next year approximately
$500, 900, Commissioner Terrell said.
and of this amount Jefferson county
will contribute $3.50. 900 or the amount
thus to be contributed by Jefferson
county, he said. the county will get
back into its road fund $4,000. while
the remainder, S10S,00O will be con
tributed to other counties. Forty Of
the counties, he said, will contribute
only from $4,000 to $4,000 for state aid,
and as a result they will have to draw
from the fund contributed by other
counties.

Johnny Farrell has done some ster-
ling work this year, but he comes in
for the major portion of the blame
when seeking a cause for the first
games loss. .-r- o..
Farrell was on third base with one
out. A long fly was poked to left field,
and there was a possibility that it
would go for a hit. misleading of
playing the game properly, sticking
to the bag, and preparing for dash
to the plate in case the ball was
caught, Farrell danced up the base
line. When the ball was finally snag-
ged by ChadbOuTne Farrell had to
scoot back to third, where he was
left.
If the ball had dropped safe Farrell
could just as easily have scored from
a position on the bag, and he would
also have been able to count on a
sacrifice. AS the Kaws won by a one
run margin, the costiiness of Far
reI's error judgment is at once ap-
parent.
The Feds got but five hits off Pack
ard. Hendrix was also tight, but two
punched hits counted the Kay See
run. In the second affair Kay See did
the better batting and deserved the
win.
