FARMERS WEEK POULTRY
EXHIBIT DECLARED OFF

Owing to the prevalence of the foot
and mouth dieSaSe in cattle in differ
ent parts of the State and in cOmpli-
ance with the orders of the State and
Federal Governments to stamp it out
the big Poultry Show scheduled for
Farmers Week at the Kentucky Elk
pertinent Station, Tuesday, January s.
1915, has been declared off.
That official notice was sent out and
is as follows:
Lexington, KY Dec s. 1914.
Because of the widespread perva-
lence of the foot and mouth disease in
Kentucky and in States which adjoin
Kentucky it is deemed wise by the
State Poultry Show to declare it off
for this year.
Order number Is, issued by the
Kentucky Live Stock Sanitary Board
reads as follows:
1.-The Federal Government and the
are availing themselves of every pos
sible means of combining this disease
in Kentucky to local outbreaks. To
this end the public markets have been
closed until further notice. 1t is
deemed inadvisable to have poultry
shows, pet stock shows or. animal
shows of any nature while this dis
ease is So prevalent.
cit is, therefore, ordered that all
poultry shows, pet stock shows and
animal shows of every description be
abandoned until such time as this dis
ease is eradicated from. our State.
"The big poultry meeting will still
be held on Tuesday of Farmers Week,
January 5, 1915. Every farmer is in
vited to come to this meeting. The
addresses will be made by practical
poultrymen and poultrywomen of
great experience.

Turtle Two Centuries Old.

A huge turtle, weighing 1.175
pounds. was brought to San Diego.
Cal, the other day by Capt. j. Zollezzi
of the Italian fishing launch Belvidere.
The turtle, said by waterfront men
to be the largest specimen ever caught
in Lower California waters, is nine
feet in circumference and seven feet
from the tip of its nose to the end of
its short tail. The front flippers are
four feet in length and almost a foot
wide, tapering gradually until at the
end they are about five inches wide.
The jaws are a solid mass Of teeth,
over two hundred being located in
the upper jaw. They range from one
half to a quarter of an inch in length.
The shell is ribbed and in spots plia-
BILE, which leads many fishermen to
believe that the turtle is nearly two
hundred years old.

S-ll TERRY TELLS US SOME
THINGS ABOUT "MExICO.'

7Ir. T. Philip Terry, the author of
''Terry's Mexico" has just returned
from trip through Mexico, where he
found conditions almost as chaotic as
they are in Europe. Trade is dead,
railway, postal and highway communi-
cations are interrupted; the vanished
silver coins have been replaced by
freely counterfeit paper money issued
b. several of the warning factions and
p~-chasable at pesos for one Ameri-
ca dollar; and a fatalistic hopeless
ness and apathy have taken possession
o. the people. A settlement of the
difficulty seems very remote. 1t is be-
lieved that the selfish personal aims
O. the incompetent rebel chiefs, and
the looting proclivities of their fol-
lovers, will prolong the struggle un-
I'll some strong pressure is brought to
bear from without.
Ir. Terry, who is a native of Paris,
(ky.), and who has strong convictions
on the subject of Kentucky hospitality,
Just now is not so sufe of his ground
in this respect At Nogales, Arizona, a
frontier town astride the Mexican
line, he lodged with some friends who,
when the time came to leave, insisted
upon taking him to the train i'm their
motor car. Before this train was
reached they had travelled over 81
miles of the wonderland which
stretches through the canons and
across the splendid Arizona mesas to
Tccson-a veritable painted desert re-
Dlete with charm and possessed of
mountain and valley views perhaps
unsurpassed anywhere. His friends
did not get back to their home until
one o'clock in the morning, and Mr..
Terry is still wondering if this is not
something of a record in the art of
speeding the parting guest.

for woman's ills that the world has

! BEFORE AND AFTER. !

From the Pittsburgh Leader.

II is saddening to think that II only
a little of the experiences available In
getting into mines wrecked by explo-
sions and fire were turned into the
preventive channel the rescues would
not be needed. Nowhere is the ounce
of prevention so valuable as in a coal
mine.
Disaster does not come upon coal
mines without warning, or from un-
known causes. The causes OF explo-
sions are as definite as anything can
be. IL there were any mystery about
IT the condemnation would be less Sc
we're.
But every Goa miner, and every
operator. and every man connected
with the federal rescue work, knows
exactly what causes explosions, and
why explosions happen, n in most
cases they know when to expect them
All that is necessary Is TO take prop
er care. 1t Is a little more expensive
to ventilate a mine than a dwelling,
but one IS just as essential to the lives
OF the occupants as the other. And
when the ventilation is neglected the
results also are more costly than Ia
the ordinary dwelling.
The yapor of gasoline Is more dan
gerous than the gases and coal dust In
coal mines, n yet considering the
universal use OF gasoline, the number
OF explosions IL insignificant compared
to the explosions In coal mines. and re-
suits are less terrible.
And what Is Just as sad when we
contemplate the loss OF life In coal
mi mes is that a mine may he ventila-
ted and kept safe as easily as a house
The one difference is in the cost II II
cost as little TO ventilate a mine as q
house there would be 40 explosions IL
mines.
What we need is more prevention
and less picturesque rescue work. i
Is thrilling to read OF the escuers with
their equipment going into wrecked
mines and bringing out dead bodies
but il would be more human to know
the men working underground do mo-
need TO CONS out dead.

KINDERGARTEN pRoeREss.



In 10 years kindergartens in the
United States have grown from 3,24l
kindergartens with 205, 900 children to
1857 kindergartens enrolling S64,1s9
children, according to a bulletin issued
by the United States bureau Of educa-
ton.
Notwithstanding this encouraging IN.

majority OF children are still without
the advantages Of kindergarten train
ing. Only 9 per cent OF the children OF

much constructive work must be
DONE" declares Miss Myra Winchester,
Of the kindergarten division OF the
bureau, reviewing the figures. The
child of kindergarten age Is so young,
so impressionable, so incapable Of de-
tending himself against the faulty
words and actions and mental attitudes
OF the teacher, that means must be de-
vised to eliminate or at least dimin-
fish the number OF faulty teachers.
Standards of requirements as to per-
sonality and academic and professional
training must be raised and main
tained. for the surest guarantee of the
extension of kindergartens is good
work done by good teachers"
Miss winchester traces the path of
progress in ki~ndergartens from private
philanthropy to public support. First
there were private hndergartens, re-
garded as more or less of a luxury for
the well to do. Next, good men and
women began to provide charity kim
~dergartens for the poor and neglected
children; churches, settlements, kinder
garten associations, and mill owners
gave and continue TO give glad and
generous support to such kindergar-
tens. Then as a direct outgrowth OF
the work OF the kindergarten associa-
lions, there have evolved training
schools for kindergarten teachers; the
state Legislature has been induced to
pass a bin making il legal to institute
public school kindergartens; local
boards Of education have partially,
then entirely, taken over the care and
education Of little children, and finally
state and city normal schools have in
oorporated the kindergarten training
schools, making them into a regularly
i~ntegrated department"
The bureaus bulletin on ktndergar-
tens gives complete statistics for pri-
yate n public kindergartens through
out the United States, so far as these
were reported; together with opinions
of superintendents, supervisors, and
teachers as to the results of kinder
garten training In their communities.
The bulletin is illustrated with photo
graphs Of real kindergarten children IN
