ground in what is known as the
Indutrial League Addition to
Hickman to raise almost enough
vegetables to supply the town, al
though most of 1T lays idle from
year to year. This is one year
we must raise more food or the
nation may face a critical condi-
ton before 1918. Not only are
many articles of food now scarce
and high priced, but we are en-
tering a war of unknown proper
tions-unforseen complications =
and it behooves us to take the
proverbial "stitch in time" in or
der to feed ourselves. There
should be a local effort made to
increase the food supply here
this year-and now is the time.

something to eat on them. Are

Besides being a boom TO chill
dren falling in the clutches of
the law, by giving them a chance
10 straighten out in their own
homes, rather than being sent to
a school of reform, this court has
IN the seventeen months of Its eX-
istence, saved the county of Full
ton quite a few dollars. Howl
Well, in the ease of the 20 chill
dren who were admitted to pro-
baton under the supervision of a
Probation Officer, had there been
no Juvenile Court in this county,
the County Judge would have
had no alternative but to send
these 20 youngsters to the State
School of Reform, at Greendale,
Ky. The cost of transporting
these % youngsters would have
averaged about $50 per head.
Multiplying this by 20, we get as
a result 1926. Then, also, the
State does not pose as NUM-
ficent benefactor as to board,
lodging, etc, in these cases but
makes a charge against the coun-
ty of 800 per head Again null
tiplying, we have the sum of ST.
600 which would have gone to
thu State of Kentucky for a min
imum term of one year for each
of these cases. Thus, the least
that this court has saved the
county of Fulton since its organi-
cation may be modestly and hon
estly stated at $4,5S6. In this
final figure, i am deducting $3.50
appropriated by the Fiscal Court
for 1916.

JUVENILE COURT REPORT.
SAVED COUNTY $4,000.

The following is a portion of
the report of Chief Probation
Officer, of the Juvenile Court,
made to the Fiscal Court last
Friday, and will prove of inter
est to the taxpayers of the eouu
ty; more especially those unfami-
liar with the court s work:
The Fulton County Juvenile
Court was organized through the
efforts of the Honorable Elvis j.
Stair, Judge of the Fulton Coun-
ty Court, the Reverend w. r.
Rennenberg, Chief Probation of
ficer. 1t came as n result of
what was felt to be great
need in the county. The court
at present is composed of the
following Elvis j. Stair, Judge /;
w. +. Rennenberg, Chief Proba-
tion Officer; j. Il. Housley and
Mrs. Jessie Dillon, of Hickman;
j. B. Robinson, j. W. BACKYARD
and y. L. Gatlin, of Fulton; and
Tom McMurry, of Cayee, Pro-
baton Officers. (However all
of the work, with two exceptions,
has been done by j. b. Robin
son, of Fulton, and the Chief
Probation Officer.)
The object of the Juvenile
Court is to secure corrective re
suits without sending a child TO
the school of reform. This we
have attemted to do and have
failed in only one or two eases.
Since the organization this court
has had forty-six cases upon its
docket. A digest of these cases
may prove interesting.
As to color, the cases were di-
vided as follows:

i may state in passing that the
Juvenile Court according TO the
Juvenile law can only handle cas-
es of boys, IL years and under; of
girls, Is years and under. The
adult cases are of those contri-
buting to Juvenile delinquency.
