WILSON WILL RUN AGAIN

The President has written a
letter to a friend in which he ex-
pressed views which make it
practically certain he will be a
candidate for reelection says a
Washington special. While this
has been generally felt there has
heretofore been nothing definite
upon which to base the belief. In
his letter the President declares
it to be the duty of the chief ex-
ecutive once to submit his adj
ministration to the people, along
with his personality, for their ap-
proval or rejection. 1t is under
stood the President refers to the
duty in a way which leaves the
impression that he thinks a chief
executive would be in a more en-
viable position, for, after four
years, he could probably go into
private life without submitting
his case to the people.

Over $3oo.ooo,ooo is a very tidy

dozen eggs each year.
1t is a profitable business, not

in which to carry it on. Many a
family is keeping the table sup

ISSUES BOOKLET

To present to the people OF
Kentucky definite information
relative to the character of work
that the State University has
been accomplishing through the
graduates of the College of
Mechanical and Electrical Engi-
neering has just issued a booklet
of information in regard to its
graduates.
The first part of the book gives
the names of graduates in the
order in which they finished, be-
ginning with James Richard
John son, professor of mathe-
mates, Eastern Kentucky Nor
NAL School, of the class of 1893.
The position of each graduate,
business and home address is
given. A unique feature OF the
book is the geographical ind"x of
graduates, which shows what
graduates are located in the diff
ferent States and cities. This
shows wide distribution of the
graduates, some of them being
located in each of thirty-six
States. Many of the graduates
have been sent abroad by their
companies to do special work and
are located in such countries as
Australia, Austria, Brazil, Cana
da, England, Mexico and Spain.
One interesting fact shown is
that no less than seventy-two OF
these highly-trained technical
graduates have returned to their
native State and are helping Ken
lucky to secure her righttul PC
sition in the industrial world.

Auditor on his examination of

July ID, 1912, to June ID, 1914, in
which he says, referring to appli-

Il find 1873 of these applica-
tons have been forged, so that
the horse power has been chang
ed from the higher number in
serted and sworn to by the appli-
cant to twenty-four, which places
the fee at S. instead of $40 as
paid by the applicants. The total
amount due the State on account
of these changes is $o55, which
with errors in settlement make
the amount due the State
$I,3o3.64.
T. S. Byars, automobile clerk,
gave his check last Wedn esday
