School Children Ciue
Savings to Red Cross

There is a home for crippled chill
drcn, Protestant institution In Pitts
burgh, where the little ones were told
something about the Red Cross, and
how it took care Of many children
and soldiers and hurt people" who
otherwise suffer. Perhaps because
their own arms and legs were so
much awry, and they had no prospect
of j, the running, jumping, 1ubilant
their eyes saw straight into the very
heart of suffering. This is what they
did:-they poured their precious saw
ings, pennies and nickles which had
been given them from time to time,
a few larger pieces and a bill or two,
into white box marked with the Red
Cross.
Some influential men of the city
were seated around a table talking
about raising money for the American
Red Cross. That small white box was
there and some made as II to drop
in contributions. But one Of them held
IT up, and said, "No-no further
Gift is permitted here. We could not
add to his" And in the presence
OF this SllL u tuc AmCA ISou AsCu SAOos'
from the home for crippled children,
there was a sudden quietness among
these men of the world.
A woman who had done war relief
work in France, was speaking for the
Red Cross War Fund. last June, to
several hundred school children in an
American public school. They were
nearly all Jewish children in that par
ticular assembly room, and very poor:
The woman had lived In social
settlement in the center OF the Jewish
district of the city at one time, and
she looked at the rows of faces before
her, she remembered with sudden
yividness the almost forgotten scenes
of ten years before-of little jewish
boys in the back room OF a syna
gogue, after public school hours, sway
ing back and forth IN concert as they
shouted out long passages from the
Talmud; of the girls in the sewint
classes listening hungrily to stories
with their quick racial response u

RECEIVER ASKED FOR
ROsS.vAUGHAN co.
Proposed Sale Of Stock By Ross
Stopped-Action Was
Unexpected.

The expected sequel to the resig-
nation of j. M. Vaughn as manager
and vice president of the Ross
Vaughn Tobacco Company, which
was announced Wednesday in the
Messenger, came Thursday when Mr.
Vaughn filed suit against John Ross
and the Ross-Vaughn Tobacco Com
pany asking for an injunction to pre-
vent Ross from dsposing of 347
shares of stock held by Vaughn, but
pledged as collateral to Ross on a
note Of SIS 1000, and for the appoint
ment of receiver to dispose of all
the property Of the company and dis
tribute the proceeds in an equitable
manner.
The petition, which is very
lengthy one, goes into the particu-
lars of the formation of the Ross
Vaughn Tobacco Company and
makes charges against the business
integrity of Mr.. Ross. H. f. Evans,
one Of the stockholders of the COM
pany, joins with Vaughn in the suit
while A. J. McMullin, H. +. Coombs
and Alton Haynes, also stockholders,
are named with Mr.. Ross as defend
ants in the action. The suit was fill
ed by Capt w. T. Ellis and Baskin
e. Vaughn, of Louisville.
Partnership Business.
1t is claimed in the suit that Ross
and Vaughn are practically the sole
owners, and that the business of the
company has been conducted upon
the basis of partnership the three
shares each, being held by McMullin,
Haynes and Evans having been Civ
en- them merely to comply with the
State corporation laws.
The petition sets forth that the
company is incorporated for $4,000,
Of which $4,000 was put in by
Vaughn and $4,000 by Ross. The
former holds 347 shares and the
latter 511.
It is stated that prior to the con-
solicitation of the plants operated by
Vaughn and Ross separately that
Vaughn was operating a tobacco
factory at Tenth and Triplett and
had, through his experience and skill
in business and as a tobacco handler, ,
built up a large trade. Ross was
tobacco dealer with Offices in Liver
pool. He bought his tobacco at the
John Ross plant on Second and Pearl |
and resold it in London.-Owensboro |

TWO STANDARD GRADES OF
POTATOES RECOMMENDED

Washington, ID. C.-TwO standard
grades for potatoes are recommend
by the Food Administration and the
Department of Agriculture. The
necessity for their adoption is en-
phasized in department statement
because Of the prospect for large
crop, the food supply situation, ov-
ertaxed transportation facilities and
the ruling that Federal reserve banks
may make loans against potatoes
properly stored in approved ware
houses. In the first grade the mini
mum diameter of the round variety
is fixed at one and seven-eighths
inches and of the long variety one
and three-fourths inches. The mini
mum diameter of the second grade
is one and one-half inches.

WHEN SOUTHERN
WOMEN MURDER

Pointing to the humiliating fact
that six men have been killed in New
Orleans by women within the last IS
months. the Rev. A. J. Gearheard,
pastor Of a prominent church in the
Crescent City, is moved to protest
that murder seems to have become
the fashion among women, since
southern men, through a spirit of
chvalry, refuse to punish them for
their crimes.
Not one of the six women who
took the life Of man for some
cause, real or imaginary, is behind
the prison bars.
Only once in Louisiana criminal
history has a woman been convicted
for the murder of man. The lone
victim Of the law. Dora Muriff, was
sentenced in 1913 to five years in
the penitentiary for completely in
the murder of Milton Dalahaye, her
sweetheart, at Crowley. La, because
he refused to marry her. Her step
father, Alex Duval, for the same
crime. was sentenced to imprison-
ment for life, and was recently de-
MED a pardon.
This is the reason why there seems
to be an awakening spirit of pro-
test being heard throughout the
south. 1t is the reason why the min
listers in New Orleans, club women
at meetings and students of sociolo-
~ have aroused storm Of discus
sion. Z e,'nI ,-.-,--
Tho law does not respect the diff
ference in sex. Murder is murder
whenever committed. and the stat
utes, upon conviction, provide a fixed
punishment. --.' i~~N' ''~t'-'''
That the woman may have cause
for the crime, she can show this in
court, but a recital OF the facts in
the siy New Orleans murder cases,
show that the women who are under
indictment and the women acquitted
will have some difficult in convinc-
ing the general public of their right
to kill, even if in several cases thre
juries have refused to convict.
Our finer senses are shocked when
the murderer is a woman. but one
feels inclined TO ask with Rev. Gear
heard. who has studied the criminal
conditions of New Orleans closely,
and who is well known figure in
the underworld districts sis the wo-
man the more dangerous of the spe-
cies?'
"What can we do?" asked the gen
tleman in recent appeal TO the New
Orleane people. Stop carrying pis-
tolls. Keep young girls from public

dance halls. Teach young men the
sacredness of womanhood. Quit
rearing children who will rule or
ruin. Put an end to the murder that
is aimed at the unborn. Instill the
truth of Gods law into the hearts
of women and men and teach them
that vengeance is mine, saith the
Lord. and I will repay"
The murder record made during
the last Is months in New Orleans
is not very pleasant one to con-
template since the guilty 60 unpun-
ished and crime continues to flour
ish.-[Commercial Appeal.

PATRIOTISM AND RELIGION.

Are religion and patriotism really
one? Religion and patriotism are
not one. The one is spiritual, the
other material. There is no relation
between them except that both re-
late to human brotherhood, but from
opposite viewpoints and feelings. Pat
riotism is devotion to part Of man
kind, in contradistinction to the rest;
while religion is devotion to all man
kind. Patriotism is love of our par
ticular part of the world, in our own
time; but religion is a love for the
whole world and all beyond, for all
time.-The Christian Herald.

HOW THE ROAD FUND
Is Handled In Woodford County.
Kentucky.
C. F. Dunn, Sec'y.-Mgr., Frankfor
Chamber of Commerce.

C. F. Dunn, Sec'y.-Mgr., Frankfort
Chamber Of Commerce.
Woodford county presents good
example of the proper method Of
handling road funds. The County
Road Engineer, w. II. Edwards, Jr.
during the year travels regularly
over the entire road system of the
county in machine but in the
months of December and January he
makes a special tour Of inspection
in order to determine exactly what
must be done on the roads and
bridges during the coming year, and
at the February term of court he
makes his recommendations.
Woodford county ordinarily re-
ceives from ten to twelve thousand
dollars State Aid. The court sets
aside sufficient amount to meet
the State appropriation, all of which
is expended on one or more inter-
county-seat roads. The remainder is
apportioned to the various parts of
the county where it is most needed.
The road fund in Woodford county
amounts to about forty thousand
dollars per year and the Road En-
gineer makes his recommendations
so as to distribute. the entire amount.
Mr.. Edwards has been Road Engin-
Ger of Woodford county for twelve
years and there is not a case on rec
ord where the recommendation he
has made to the Fiscal Court have
not been adopted.
1t is noteworthy that the court
appreciates the fact that he is an eX-
perienced road man and that to his
care should be entrusted the road
affairs of his county. Another i'm
portant feature is that the road fund
is not apportioned equally to the
magisterial districts-in fact no at
tention is paid to magisterial dis
tricts-but it is placed from year to
year where it is most needed, the
idea being to best serve the county.
1t is conceded generally by the
people of the State that Woodford
county has about the best roads in
the State. The above shows clearly |
how the road fund is handled and it
would be well for some of the other
of the State to pattern after
the method of handling the road
fund in Woodford county.
The Frankfort Chamber of Com
merce is deeply interested in the
road problem of this State. 1t is
with keen interest the pro-
gress being made in the various
and will from time to time
make comment on the best method
Of handling the road affairs of the
counties. ~
