CIOverpOrt COlOred School.

In the administration of any school
system, certain great fundamental ends
should be kept in mind continuously.
The four specific points to be remem-
bered are: Health, conduct, livelihood
and appreciation. 1t has beeIhny good
fortune to visit recently in the capacity
of visitor for the colored school of
Cloverport and it was very forcibly
brought TO my mind that these princi-
pies are being dwelt upon there in such
a way as to arouse the admiration of any
one who comes in contact with the in.
telligent and striving pupils and the
capable and conscientious principal, 5.

These four principles that have Just
mentioned were the essential points
worked upon by the teachers in com

socially, physically and spiritually.
As yet a few of the parents and pa
irons fail To- cooperate with them in
their great undertaking, but ! am proud
to say that the great majority appreciate
what is being done for better citizenship.
The thinking people, those whose
ideals stand for something, those who
are character builders, those who are

and Kentucky from the rear of illiteracy,
join me in supporting and wishing well
those who are helping this great under

Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier.

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than others. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks earlier
and to save SIX weeks feed is an item
that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must be
in prime physical condition. The b.
a. Thomas Hog Powder is d condl
toner for hogs. It keeps their system
clean and healthy and enables them to
fatten quickly without falling a prey
to the usual diseases OF hogs. The b.
