POOR OLD MORGAN.

Below will be found a list of the
Kentucky counties that have ask
ed for and received their proper
tion Of the State road fund, to-
gether with the amounts received
by each. What did Morgan get?
A black eye and a bad name. A
stigma that will last through all
the years. A backward push in
her struggle to maintain a place
in the line Of progression'S march.
An underhand blow from the
effects Of which she will not re-
cover until most, if not all, of her
sister counties have outstripped
her in the race.
Wolfe is the only adjoining
county that failed to apply for
State aid.
Following is the list of counties
which will get their share of the
State fund:
Franklin county will receive $8.-
742 out of the State road fund.
Thirteen counties will draw the
full amount allowed by law out
of the fund this year, $13, 164, ac-
cording to the estimate just COM
pleted by Commissioner of Roads
r. c. Terrell. 1t is based upon
the 1914 assessments and levy,
excepting in a few instances
where failure of the counties to
report made it necessary to use
the 1912 returns.
The counties, which will draw
the full twoper cent are Bourbon,
Campbell, Christian, Clark,
Daviess, Fayette, Graves, Jeffer-
son, Kenton, Mason, McCracken,
Nelson and Shelby.
The a mount tits estimated each
county will receive from the
state road fund is based on the
ratio the road levy of that parti-
cular ointy bears to the total

GRAFTON Get Into Society.

II would appear that owing to the
very fine principle of mutual help in
volved, those forming cooperative
organization would be consistently
loyal In their mutual relationship. But,
on the other hand. unless exceptional
care be exercised by the leaders an
organization from the beginning will
be burdened with drones. cheats. dead

When grower joins a cooperative
organization and then refuses to pat

excuse himself even on the ground of

help secure proper conduct OF the

II is not difficult to dress the young
lad correctly. for in his case. as In
that OF men, few good styles are
given the stamp OF approval early in
the season and dutifully followed un-
til its close. Men are less independent
In dress than women, and the boy also
wants to be dressed like his mates
His desires having been fulfilled in
this regard he is unconscious of his
clothes once they are acquired.
A sensible outfit for the schoolboy
from eight to sixteen is shown In the
picture above. 1t consists of knicker.
bockers in gray or brown mixture and
Norfolk coat. These are worn with
a soft percale blouse with soft turn
over collar and cuffs and an incon.
spicuous four-in-hand tie.
The short topcoat is made OF a heavy
woolen material showing an indis-
tinct plaid. 1t is double-breasted and
finished with large flap pockets, very
substantial and firmly sewed down. A
woolen cap, strong ribbed stockings
and calfskin laced shoes carry out the
appropriate details of the outfit. For
school, woolen gloves or those of dog
skin are in keeping with the coat and
cap.

PRICES OF FOOD PRODUCTS
Problem Confronting Cooperative As.
soeiations Is Not overproduetion
but underconsumption.

The greatest problem confronting
individual farmers and the big coop
eratiye selling associations today is
not overproduction but underconsump.
tion, writes w. Milton Kelly in Farm
News. There is a tremendous waste
OF opportunity in realizing the maxi
mum value of food products produced.
and both producers and consumers are
the losers.
1t is easy to repeat old and time.
worn truths and blame the middleman
and transportation companies for our
shortcomings. but the wide gap be.
tween the poorly paid farmer and the
poorly fed city dweller can be closed
only by more complete utilization of
food products. We must devise means
to utilize all of the surplus products,
and preserve them in an edible form
SO that they may contribute toward
feeding our people instead Of going
back to the soil.
The important point is that much OF
the food produced goes to waste be
cause 1t is undesirable to place 1t on
the market to compete with the better
grades at the time the products are be-
ing marketed. This curtails the food
supply of the country and results In
hardship to both producer and con.
sumer.
BY better systems of grading and
classifying farm products, and keep
ing crude stuff from mingling with the
choice, it is possible to obtain higher
prices for the better grades of farm
products. But unless means are pro.
vided for making use of the Gull stuff
and making it up into finished prod.
ucts. there is sure to be a falling of
In consumption. the same as would re-
suit if every feeder persisted in mar
keting his pig crop as soon as the pigs
attained a weight of 100 pounds.
This is problem that must sooner
or later be met by every successful
selling association. If 1t is successful
IN securing more uniform and honest
grading and classification of the prod.
ucts II sells. it must provide means
ior taking care of the surplus pro
duced by its members.

Warrior of Today.

George Wharton Pepper said at a
luncheon at the Plattsburg training
camp for officers:
THE methods OF warfare have
changed enormously in the past year.
The sword, for example. is no longer
carried. The sword has quite disap.
peared from war.
"A story comes from the Argonne
about French chasseur who took q
German officer prisoner. The chasseur,
a boy, tyro, said TO the officer;
"'Giye up your sword
But the officer shook his head and
answered.

1t was, however, merely a ruse on

the car approached the fork, two
roughnecks. hidden behind a rock in

closer under cover.
Johnson stopped some hundred feet
