CHANCE WITH REST

cation Means i'i,e-prof.
Peters Explains


Taxation has been an important
feature in all governments. With
out the power of taxation our ma
tional government would be a fail
ure, as was proven by the old
ARTICLES of Confederation"
Money is required to support any
government and that is usually
raised by taxation of the people
either directly or indirectly. So it
is with our school government. We
must raise money in order to sup
port and develop it into its best.
Our expenses are quite heavy, al
though small when equally pro-
portioned among the people and
when compared with the good ef-
fects they bring, but the heavier
the tax the better the schools. 1t
is very much like a good vein OF
coal that company is trying to
mine with an inadequate capital.
If the mine is not properly equipped
it will not be successful The diyi-
dend, if any, will be light. So it is
with the schools. If they are not
properly equipped and provided for,
the dividend will be small and the
investors, who are in the case of
the schools the people in general,
will be disappointed We can
thoroughly equip our schools for
their great work by making small,
constant payments in the form of
school tax, which will finally az
gregate a vast sum that when
properly invested in the schools will
yield the investors large dividend
in better citizens, better character
and by far less selfshneSs and
crime, which will lessen the ex-
penses of our parish, state and ma
ton,
A large per cent of the money
raised by taxation is expended in
enforcing law and order and in pro-
tectine the people, their rights and
. property. This expense could be
made smaller if not entirely eiimi-
mated if the Schovls were SO equip
ped as to rear the rising generation
to abhor vice and crime ard to
cling to everything that is pure and
good Mind you poorly equipped
: school pays d small dividend.
We should not consider a school
tax unjust or a burden, as it is
levied for our own benefit and ad-
vancement; there is nothing tina,
e will give community more pres.
>, tige than good schools which means
refinement and betteTment.

The French war Office issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"In the evening there were fairly
lively engagements in Belgium. In

Toward the west and in the direo-

counter-attacks enabled us to regain
ground and make many prisoners.

In the western area of the fighting

STATE AUTHORITIES
WARN The FARMERS
CONTROL OF HOG CHOLERA TOLD
IN CIRCULAR ISSUED BY
EXPERIMENT STATION.
LOSES S2,OOO,OOO ANNUALLY
Disease Can Ee Eradicated BY Proper
Cooperation and Assistance of
Counties and Farmers.
Especial Frankfort Correspondence

Especial Frankfort Correspondence)
Frankfort.-''How to Save Two Mil
lion Dollars" is the catchy title of a
circular to Kentucky farmers which
has been issued by the state agricul-
tural experiment station The circu-
lar relates TO the methods by which
hog cholera can be controlled or pre-
vented, and as it is claimed tina this
disease can be absolutely eradicated
by proper precautions, and that it
causes an annual loss in Kentucky of
$2,O00,O00, it is argued that the farm
ers of the state will be that much
ahead by strictly observing the regu-
lations set forth. AS an example of
what can be accomplished by precau-
tiCnary measures it is cited that
through the cooperation and assist
ance of county agricultural assistants
and veterinarians the disease has be-
come practically unknown in a num-
ber of counties. The principal injunc-
tions given in the circular are as fol
lows: Hog cholera is a highly in
fectiOus and contagious disease. 1t
should be handled and dealt with like
any other contagious disease. 1t is
carried from farm to farm by running
water, by dogs and birds and on the
shoes of man.
Farmers and hog raisers can do a
great. deal to control and eradicate
this disease on their own premises by
the observance of scrupulous cleanli-
ness in the care of hogs and by the
adoption of simple sanitary measures,
and by good hOg-farm management.
Cooperate with neighbors and
with the experiment station in their
efforts to control hog cholera by the
observance of the following simple
sanitary measures:
Burn the carcases of all dead
hogs.
Isolate and quarantine all sick
hogs and all new stock until they
show freedom from disease.
ANY hog off feed should be quar-
antined and watched.
"Clean and disinfect hog houses.
Scatter freshly slaked lime about
hog houses and hog lots once a week.
Lime is one of the cheapest disinfec-
tants and one of the best fertilizers.
Provide clean, dry quarters for
hogs. A good hog house does not cost
much.
do not pasture hogs by running
stream. Hog cholera is carried for
miles by running water.

Secretary Points to Increases in Per-

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington. = Secretary Daniels
made public a letter he has written to
President Garfield, of Williams col
lege, detailing the work in the navy
during the last two years. Daniels
wrote in reply to Garfield's request for
material to meet statements that the
United States is unprepared for mill
tary emergencies. The letter follows:
"My Dear President Garfield: l am
in receipt of your recent favor asking
for an authoritative statement con-
cerning the present status of the navy
equipment of the United States, and
take pleasure in complying with your
request as far as is compatible. There
are now in active service, fully com
| missioned, 225 vessels of all charac-
ters, which is Sc more than were fully
commissioned when l became secre-
tary There are also 101 vessels of
various types, in reserve and in or
binary and uncommissioned, capable
of rendering service in war. We have
| under construction ard authorized II
vessels 60 dreadnoughts, % destroy
ers, SO submarines and Z auXiliaries),
as compared with 54 vessels a dread
noughts, IA destroyers, % submarines,
gunboats and 9 auxiliaries), which
were under construction on March l,
| 1913. All the vessels enumerated,
| those in active service and those in
reserve, are supplied with munitions
! of war. No navy makes public the
! quantity of ammunition and torpedoes,
mines and other implements of naval
warfare which it keeps ready. 1t may
! be said, however, that within the last
| two years the quantity of all has been
! steadily and greatly increased. For
example, we have increased the num-
| Der of mines, on hand and in process
of manufacture, 244 per cent. With
reference to torpedoes, the increase in
two years has been 80 per cent. By
the enlargement of the naval powder
factory we shall soon be able almost
to double its former capacity.

County Courts Accorded Jurisdiction


Certifying to the law in the case of
the Commonwealth against David T.
attorney filed an affidavit stating that
the county court has exclusive jUris-
dictiOn over delinquent children. The
appeal was taken from the Grant cir
cult court. Franks was indicted on
the charge of grand larceny and his
attorney filed an affidavid stating that
Franks was only II years old. The
commonwealth attorney moved that
the court dismiss the prosecution on
the ground that the circuit court did
not have jurisdiction. The circuit
court, however, on its own motion
transferred the case to the county
court. The appellate court says that
the circuit court should have dis
missed the prosecution. The COM
plant could have been made by the
county court and Franks would have
been brought under its care and su-
pervision in that way.

WOMAN.

The dearest, sweetest gift to man,
That nature ever gave;
His comforter and worshipper,
His angel and his slave;
She's sunlight, moonlight, starlight,
She's music, flower and song:
And ev'ry faith, and hope, and love,
And joy to her belong;
And eV'ry beauty, rare, and grace,
Around her, jealous, throns;
She's natures masterpiece and pride,
And arts divinity beside,
And nausht, in all creation wide,
So content, pure and true,
But who on earth, or who in hell,
Or even in heaven itself can tell,
Just when she's going to take a spell,
Or what she's going to do?
