HINTS AT
SHEEP FRAUDS
Feeding Sheep to Dogs Is a
Growing Industry OF
The State.

Frankfort, KY Sept. 14.-Not
quite one family in four in Ken
lucky owns a dog, Notwithstanding
the fact that l, ,734, 453 of the 2,O69.-
9O5 people live in the country, ac-
cording to the 1913 report of the
state board Of equalization; but they
average more than one sheep to the
family, as the 494, 7S4 families. enum-
Grated in the government census re-
port, have returned for taxation
5O3,O17 sheep. Every ninth dog,
estimated from records in the audi
tors Office, ate sheep valued at
about s. during the year, which is
odd because the sheep assessed were
worth less than an average of SO the
head, the 503,O17 being returned at
$1'5O4, 1888.
The county school funds are re-
plenished from the balance left over
in the dog tax after paying costs and
the value Of the sheep in the county
killed by dogs. The total accruing
to the school fund from the dog tax
in 1913 was S43,876.69. The year
before 1885 dogs netted the schools
SAG, SSS 80, while $52,9S6.42 went to
pay for the mutton they ate
Somewhere among them - the
dogs, the assessors and the sheep
the blame seemed to lie for failure
of the dog tax law to effect two re-
forms aimed at, material increase of
the school revenues and decrease in
the ravages among sheep.

By-Products of Fuel,

At a meeting of the Iron and Steel
institute in London the president read
a paper on by-products in steel manu-
facture He discussed the utilization
OF blast furnace gases for operating
gas engines and for illumination and
heating, and the later developments in
making nitric acid from these gases,
and also the manufacture of brick and
cement from slags. All these matters
have been under discussion for a num-
Der Of years, but a new idea was pre-
sented at this meeting looking toward
the synthetic production of india rub
Der from coke oven gases. The presi-
dents words were: 1T is being sought
TO obtain from it the hydrocarbons. the
derivatives Of which were found in
india rubber, and experiments that
have been made permit the foreshad-
owing OF the manufacture Of artificial
rubber"

NOTICES ON SWORDS
KAISER GAVE HIS SONS

Probably the proudest possessions
Of the sons of the German Emperor
are the swords presented to them by
their IA her ard with which they are
equipped in the present war against
Ge-many's enemies. The Kaiser, rep
resenting in his various military uni
forms al the different kinds of serv-
iceof army and navy, has m a n y
swords, but his SONS have only one
sword each. but these are particular
Iy priced because of the inscriptions
dictated by the Kaiser. The custom
of inscribing arms is an old on e
among the Germans.
To the Oldest SOD, the Crown Prince
Frederick Wilhelm, the Kaiser pre-
sented sword before he was able to
carry it. This sword is now worn by
the Crown Prince as leader of the
Southern army invading France. 1t
bears the inscription: Ever ready to
battle for the-elory of the Empire. ,
On the sword of the second son,
Prince Eitel Fri derich, regarded as
the most popular member of the royal
family, the Kaiser put the motto:
Fearless and true" That of h e
third son, Prince Oscar, bears the in
scription. True and stsadfast."
Prince Adalbert's marine sword
bears inscription on both sides. For
one side the Kai er chose the some
what American term, "Ful steam
ahead" and for the other, Your
strength belongs to the Fatherland. "
The swords of the Kaiser's fifth and
sixth sons also contain notices Of
valor.

grandfather was quite impartial. He
used to stop and talk whenever his

of us, and if he sent me turkey for
Christmas, the others got geese,
which was certainly appropriate. Of
course, there might have been some
meaning in the turkey, too, but that
wasn't grandpa's way.
Grandpa's infrmity came from

with US he used to swear and look
the other way. It was that tabby
Sarah's fault; he knew she was after

MAYOR LIKELY To
VETO PARK ACT

The probability OF Mayor Wood
ward vetoing the resolution passed by
Council last Monday appropriating
$4,000 for the purchase OF ten acres
OF the Motley estate for park pur-
poses, was given some credence about
the City Hall Monday. The Mayor
said he would not consider the reso-
luton until it was before him for Of
fetal action. His remarks, however
indicated that he might send It back
to Council unapproved.
Il is understood that Mayor Wood
wards objection to the resolution is
based on the section which author
ICES any citizen TO secure an option
on the remainder of the tract. Ac-
cording to reports, the Mayor has
taken the stand that the matter has
been passed up Illegally in this re.
spect, and he wants 1t put in proper
shape before attaching his signature
to the paper.
The Motley estate, located In the
Seventh Ward, is composed of 3S
acres of land, and has been offered to
the city for S45, 600, providing it ts
used for park purposes only. The
property owners Of the Seventh Ward
want the property for park and in
order to secure it they agreed to sac
rifice the $4,000 passed up by the
Finance Committee for a fire engine
house, and the $1,000 put In the Janu-
airy sheet for street improvements.
