New Bank Building

Lomax & Standby are now com
fortably located in their new bank
ing room. The building has been
completely reinodeled. The new
front is artistic and represents the
most recent style of architecture
while the ornamental steel side
walls and ceiling and tile floor i'm
presses one with the up-to-dateness
and thorough progressiveness OF
the institution. The fixtures, all
new and of the latest design and
material, are conveniently arranged
and supporting the four frosted
electric globes give the whole a
pleasing appearance. And along
with these changes the working
force has been increaed by employ
ing Miss Roxana Rankin in the
bookkeeping department. Miss
Rankin is one Of Laclede's most
popular young ladies and will no
doubt prove efficient in her new
position. The Lomax & Standby
Bank certainly begins the new year
under very auspicious conditions.

Want a Bridge.

One of the most progressive ru.
raj districts in Powell or Estill
counties is that section of the
country around the little village
of Spout Spring which embraces
territory in both Estill and Pow.
ell counties. They never let a
good thing go by. They now are
wanting a bridge at Lilly's Ferry
between Estill and Clark coun.
ties. They realize the destitute
condition of Est;ll county and
Tuesday in a short time raised
within themselves 1905 toward
the building OF the bridge they so
badly need to connect them with
their neighbor, CLARK. An effort
will be made to get the Estill
Fiscal court to appropriate one
half of EstilPs part of the cost
and raise the remainder by pri-
vate subscription which they can
easily do.

There will be Union services

Printers the Best Paid.

The 5 Xth biennial report of
the State Tabor Bureau recently
issued shows returns from 351 es.
adjustments which employ a to.
tai of IA, $40 men, 11,05S women
and 422 children. The term chill
dren is applied to boys and girls
between the ages of If and IS,
those under II being forbidden
by law .towork in industrial es-
Establishments. OF the men en-
ployed 58.02 per cent. make SO
or more a week, while the re-
naming 1898 per cent. make
less than that amount. OF the
women 60.98 per cent. make So
or more a week, while 39.97 per
cent. make less than So. Of the
children 1851 per cent. make SO
or more week and 21.43 per
cent. make less than that "a
mount.
The report devotes especial at
tention to the question of wo-
mems wages, which are demon
mated as '.good," ''fair" or
"poor." The bureaus standard
runs as follows: Good wage for
a woman, 81 and above; fair
wage for a. woman, So to 81 ;
poor wage for a woman, $3.50 to
So; minimum wage for woman,
$3.50; minimum wage for fam
lily of five, $1,000. This, the re-
port says, islbased in the most
conservativesway on the cost of
living in Kentucky.
Some institutions are quoted
as paying good wages to part
of the employees, but poor or on
ly fair wages to others. Printers
are the only class of the employ
ed that are unqualifiedlv report
ed as receiving "Good" wages.
Verify must we conclude that it
pays to be a printer, if it does
not pay to be a publisher. The
fact that it pays so well to be a
printer is the very reasoH that it
pays not to be a publisher.

Counting the L. & N.

Several years ago when the l.. &

from Clay City to Lexington, the
latter gave the Company plat
of land to induce them to locate
there. The land cost $15, 900 and
the city provided that should the
shops be moved the land and any
buildings on the same should re-
vert to the city. Now that the
l.. d N. railroad has defiantly
and unlawfully got control of the

Disposal Of Dead Hogs.

pNCl WIS SCCblOn VI 'hC c'"NN'
Through carelessness and igno.
rance many farmers are daily vi
olating the law governing the
disposition of carcasses. For this
reason we quote the following
acts Of the General Assembly of
the Commonwealth of Kentucky
page 236:
Gan act providing for the de
struction of the carcasses of
swine dying from cholera or 9th.
err disease.
Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of the Commonwealth
of Kentucky:
FIRST: That in all cases where
any pig, shoat or hog shall die of
the disease commonly called
"hog cholera" or any other dis
ease, it shall be the duty of the
owner, or owners, of such pig,
shoat or hog, or the person or
persons having the care or custo-
dy of the same, having knOwl-
edge of the fact or upon recelv-
ing notice thereof, to cause the
carcass of the same to be burned
within twelve hours, or securely
buried two and one-half feet
deep.
Second: Any person, or per-
sons, failing and refusing TO COM
ply with the above provisions
shall be deemed guilty of mis-
demeanor and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined in sum
not less than ten nor more than
fifty dollars.
Approved by the Governor
March Ia, 1914.
In Bulletin issued by the
Kentucky Agricultural Expert
ment Station in November, 1912,
they warned the farmers as fol-
lows: "The burying of hogs that
have died of cholera is danger
Gus praca De and should be dis
Outraged. Virulent outbreaks of
hog cholera have developed
from carcasses that had been bu-
ried for several years; therefore
the man who buries cholera hogs
on his farm is in constant danger
of hog cholera. Burning is great
~ to be preferred.
Trusting that We may have
your hearty cooperation in the
eradication of hog cholera from
Kentucky, the Department of
Animal Husbandry of the Ken
lucky Agricultural Experiment
Station is alwaws at your COM
mand. +. s. GOOD,
Head of the Division Animal
Husbandry, Ky. Agr'l Expr't
Station.
The above information is of
vital importance TO the farmers
and they should observe the law
and the advice given by the Ex.
pertinent Station as to burning
rather than burying carcasses.
Attention is also called to Bull
