REV. r. r. SHANNON
AT BAPTIST CHURCH.

At the Baptist Church on Sunday
night last the Rev. F. F. Shannon
preached another of those wonderful
sermons OF his to an audience which
filled every part OF the building. He
based his discourse on these words Of
the Psalmist: II shall be satisfied when
/ awake with His likeness" From the
exordium to the conclusion it was
a fiawless sermon, perfect in concep-
tion and thought, encouraging and
helpful, sound in doctrine. and full Of
true christian faith. While 1t was a
sermon that would read well 1t would
require Its gifted author to deliver II
so that II would be appreciated.
Mr.. Shannon certainly has been good
TO his former fellow citizens, in that
he has taken so much Of his vacation
to prepare and deliver so many SER
mons for their pleasure and benefit.

School PER CAPITA
BREAKS THE RECORD
Kentucky Teachers viii Get Highest
Price Per Pupil.

Frankfort, KY, July 16.-The 1900
public school teachers in Kentucky will
receive $365,0O0 more in aggregate
wages for the school year Of 1914-15
than last year as the result of an in
crease in the per capita apportionment
of the State school fund Of SO cents.
declared by State Superintendent
Barksdale Hamlett today.
The per capita will be $3.50, the high
est in the history of the State. In
1911-12, when a State campaign was
on, the per capita was placed at $4.40;
but as a result the present administra-
ton when 1t entered found a deficit Of
$537 900 in the school fund. The per
capita was reduced to $4 and kept
there, the census was scrutinized and
thousands Of names stricken from the
county and city lists, and June 80, 1914,
the school fund had to its credit a
balance of $e3S,Oo0.
The balance was not sufficient to
warrant the extension of the school
term in the rural districts to seven or
eight months, which could have been
done under the act of 1914, IL per cap
ita of $4.75 had been possible.
The State Auditors Department es
Inmates the school revenue for the cur
rent year at $3,061,544, to which is
added the balance in the school fund,
making the total amount available, as
estimated, $3,699,544 There are $780,
900 children of school age in the State
and the State fund will be distributed
among the counties and cities in pro-
portion to the scholastic population
on the basis of $3.50 for each pupil
The State fund can be used only for
paying teachers, salaries.

home is In Wheeling, w. Va. The man

as follows: Four cuts on face, two on
back OF neck three inches long, ten
stabbed wounds in the back, one cut
on back four inches long and very deep.
DR.. Bromley gave him first aid and had
him taken to the N. 4 w, hospital in
Portsmouth.
The object OF the would-be mur-

ing nothing on the mans person they
became enraged and tried to kill him.

PRICE OF CATTLE
TO REMAIN HIGH.
Large Packer Says Imported Frozen
Beef is UnpTofitable.

Chicago ILL.,, July 21.-Joseph M.
Cudahy. Vice President of the Cudahy
Packing Company, in commenting up
on the fact that his concern is losing
money on importations of frozen beef
from Argentina and Australia, said to-
day:
I'VE cannot account for it, but the
fact remains that the United States
field has proven sad disappointment
as an outlet for frozen beef from for
eign countries We do not deal with
consumers directly and cannot blame
the housewife for our predicament, but
we know from experience that retailers
will not buy frozen meats unless they
can get them at prices that do not
cover the cost OF importations.
Knowing that the product moved
freely into consumptive channels in
England we made large purchases.
After exerting much time, effort and
capital we found that our only reliable
outlets were large supply houses, ho-
tells and railroad construction camps.
Retailers catering to the smaller con-
sumner would not consider our offerings,
except at ruinous prices.
1T has been said that packers were
holding foreign frozen beef and mutton
off the market in order to keep the
price of domestic meats at high level.
There is absolutely no grounds for any
such statement. 1t is when meat pro-
ducts are low that packers can make
the most money.
"The average cost of beef on the hoof
is higher now than ever before at this
time of the year. and / do not look for
any cheap meats until the production
of meat animals has caught up with
the increase in population. which, /
believe, will not be for many eyars."
