Cure for Suffering


 T have a daughter 15 years of age wh ohas stuttered for several years I should like to know if there is q cure for 1t. If you know of anything that you think will help, please advise.
 MRS. F. J." | This affliction is curable. There are schools in which the most inveterate stammerer may be relieved in part or entirely. First let the girl see what may be done at home by the exercise of resolute will. Let her take in a long breath before beginning to speal, and articulate slowly, giving out the breath as slowly as she speaks. Let her study to be calm and never to hurry her words. Do not let her feel that you are ashamed or annoyed with her Encourage her to breathe and speak deliberately. Try this for q month and write to me again I have in mind youth who has cured him self almost entirely of stammering by this simple plan.

EDUCATIONAL BOARD
SUBMITS A STATEMENT
To the People In Regard To
School Matters Of
Ohio County.
Hartford, Ky, Aug. 10, 1914.

Hartford, Ky, Aug. 10, 1914.
To the People of Ohio County
Realizing that it is always best for
those interested in the same object
to have a definite understanding,
we. the County Board of Education,
in executive session, wish to submit
the following facts which directly
concern, not only the County Board
of Education. school teachers and
trustees, but every taxpayer and ev-
cry citizen of the county.
To the trustees we will say that
we will not be able this year to do
the building. repairing and furnish
ing of school houses that we have
been asked to do and which perhaps
absolutely needs to be done, for the
reason that on account of the unu-
sual drouth of last year and the
great expense incurred in procuring
hdltl III tIt SNiOOio anu ONhti
avoidable expenses, We are now pay
ing interest on more than $1,000,
borrowed money, which debt we are
anxious to liquidate just as soon as
it can be consistently done.
To the teachers of 1918, we wish
to say that we regret very much
that we were not able to pay any
thing for extra attendance, for the
reason that according TO the sched-
ule for that year the public money
fell short more than $4,000 of pay
ing the salary of the teachers, which
shortage We were forced TO make
good with borrowed money.
Not in a spirit of criticism of any
one, but that there may be a better
understanding of these matters in
which we are all mutually interest
ed. these facts are submitted,
We would assure the public that
we are earnestly and honestly striv-
ing to manage the school affairs of
our county in a fair, honest and
economical manner, and We would
urge all loyal citizens everywhere to
lend helping hand that conditions
may be made better for our more
than 5000 girls and boys.
With this object in view, may we
all work together To this end we
pledge, you our earnest endeavor and
honest effort.

Need More Immigrants.

In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside Thomas Kelly. the owner
of a half-dozen good farms in Con-
necticut, is quoted as follows on the
subject of the necessity for free i'm
migration in order that American
farms can have the laborers which
they are sadly in need of. What he
says is particularly interesting be-
cause of the present war which will
probably operate TO reduce immigra-
ton.
The reason why beef is not rails
ed in the East is because we cannot
get help to feed the calves. Consid-
cradle help is required to establish
and maintain a herd, and laborers
are few. When our government be-
gan to restrict immigration we COM
menced TO SOW the seeds of high
prices. Every farmer from Maine
to California will tell you that his
chief trouble is to procure workers.
Farm products are high because
of the difficulty of finding men who
will do the work needed on the
farms"

Ninth district at Washington. Mr..

If pressed for a declaration of his

naturally seizes upon every oppor-
tunity to remind the Democrats of
their inconsistency. The proverb
about the ownership of an OK affect
ing the interest of his goring was
based on centuries of observation of
human nature. Whether insistence
on a quorum is justifiable depends
on circumstances. If it Is made
when the committees are i'm session
and the members of the House or
Senate are attending them it is open
TO criticism. But such conditions do
not now obtain in Washington Many
members are absenting themselves
because of personal business or pleas
ure and those who are attending to
the business for which they were
elected have right to insist on the
presence of delinquents. On the
other hand, when a quorum is actu-
ally present the House has legal
and moral right to proceed with
the transaction of business and in
quorum breakers deserves |
no consideration.
The party in power has a right |
to legislate, whether it is Republic |
an or Democratic. 1t has a right |
10 adopt rules that will facilitate /
such legislation. The Democratic |
criticism of the Republicans on this
score was tommyrot. When the
Democrats came into power they

served the essence of party RESPONSE
)ility for action. They did right in
10 doing. Their offense consists in
lot admitting that their former crit
cism of the Republicans was bun

More Workers Driven into Idleness.

More Workers Driven into Idleness.
When a low Tariff law causes
$4,000 men and women in one in
dustry in New England alone TO be
forced into idleness the ranks of
the unemployed have not only been
increased to that extent, but it has
even driven more workers into idle
ness because the purchasing power
of the $4,000 men and women have
been removed.
If the Tariff on silk goods had
been reduced to the same extent as
the wooden rates that industry
would be in no better shape, and
10000 to 10000 silk workers who
are now at work would be idle.

but disappointment for those who went ont to
open fields to see them fly.
1t is only six years ago that Farman flew nearly
seventeen miles in France, and hailed an i'm
mortal after 0rville Wright had flown fifty miles
at Fort Myer. Five years ago Blerot crossed the

opinion of the value Of the aeroplane in war,
based on the highly complimentary reference
to it made by General Sir John French in his

His answer the following telegram:
General French, in his report, speaks of the
complete and accurate information furnished
by the Flying Corps. We have always thought
this would be the principal Of the flying
