A Question Asked.

Is it right for the tax payers of
this town to pay the taxes to
educate about one hundred
school children that live outside
of the town limits, and attend the
town school? On account of
these additional children the
School Board purchased a lot for
seventy five hundred dollars on
which to build a new school
building. Is it right for the
School Board of the town to say
how much taxes we shall pay to
purchase additional lot and build
ing without giving us a chance
to have any say so at the ballot
box? AS | understand it, we
would have plenty of room at our
school building if it were not for
the children that attend from out
side of the town limits.

THE Post-Dispatch is gladly
giving space this issue, on page
nine, to the report of canning
club activities, by Mrs. John
Sandy Covington, Richmond
county's Home Demonstration
agent, for 1918. Mrs. Covington
also gives timely advice regard
ing plant beds.
This paper calls especial at.
tention to this canning club re-
port; it speaks well for the work
being done in the county, and we
hope the work accomplished the
past year may be bettered the
coming summer. The women OF
every community should get to-
gether for mutual help, and in so
doing they will find themselves
vastly the gamer. Get in touch
with Mrs. Covington and let's
have a club in every section Of
Richmond county.

THE internal revenue depart
ment is issuing due warning to
the public in regard to the max
ing of liquor after national pro-
hibition goes into effect July LIST.
The law requires all manufac-
turers of stills to pay special
tax of $50, and in addition there
to $40 special tax for each still or
worm manufactured. The law
also requires each manufacturer,
before the still is removed from
the place of manufacture, to no.
tify in writing the Collector of
the district in which such still is
to be set up, the name of the
purchaser, its capacity and the
time it is to be removed or ship
ped to the consignee. This at
the very outset gives pretty
good check, and the authorities
can be on the lockout.
A person who makes mash
for distillation is held to be a dis
tiller, even though he does not
vaporize or condense the spirit.
A mash fit for distillation is a fer
mented beer in which alcohol is
generated and from which alcohol
may be removed by use of a still
or otherwise. Penalty for this is
a fine of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, and imprison-
ment of not less than six months
or more than three years.
If a manufacturer or operator
of a still (blockader fails to list
his still with the revenue depart
ment, he is subject to a penalty
of $500, a fine of between 500
and $1,000 and imprisonment of
between one month and two
years.
Verify, and rightly, are the
legal screws to be applied to this
lawless, demoralizing traffic. A
fine is no deterrent to a block
adler; prison bars fit their mum,

RED CROSS SUPPLIES.

The varied character Of the supplies
which the American Red Cross pro-
vides for American soldiers and sail
ors is shown in the following list of
articles furnished in one recent month
to our fighting men in Great Britain !:
10000 sweaters, 10000 toothbrushes,
$4,000 pairs of socks, $4,000 pounds Of
soap, 100000 boxes Of matches, 800
baseball outfits, 500 mouth organs,
$4,000 packages Of chewing gum,
100000 cigarettes. For handling
these supplies, the Red Cross has sew
en- warehouses In England and six in
Ireland. At the Irish stations there
are stores Of clothing, first aid outfits
and other necessaries to provide
amply for any emergency which may
arise through the torpedoing of ships
carrying American soldiers or sailors.
II necessary, 5000 shipwrecked Amer.
leans could be QUILTED from head to
foot at one time from these emergency
depots. Advance arrangements have
also been made for billeting, housing
and feeding any number Of men who
might Unexpectedly be landed at ports
where there are no British military
camps.
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1919-01-06

spent $4,000 for musical instruments
and entertainment of the boys in
Great Britain. While this may seem
a large sum, the musical instruments
paid for themselves the first night
they were used in the amusement and
wholesome entertainment they gave
the boys in the various camps. Twice
this sum will be needed for the next
six months.
Each month is needed $4,000 for
stocks of goods such as cigarettes,
canned goods, candies. aside from the
regular canteen supplies. Another
$4,000 for buildings, tents, huts,
equipment, etc.
Even the movie program needs ST.
900 monthly just to keep the boys en-
tertained.
The "Y" officials in Great Britain
are figuring that practically every
single phase of activity will call for
more men and larger program of
expenditure than was needed before
the war. III ~ a. o. va rs Isl 81

tS1ABuSH MODEL "
FARMS IN FRANCE

A model farm has been estabe shed
by the American Red Cross at Courbet,
for II has been found that farm work
is one of the very best means Of hasten
Ing the recovery of those men suffering
from shell shock. One farm Of 800
acres has been laid out IL the depart
ment Of Indre-et-Lolre that is planned
and is to be managed after the meth
DDS pursued In our own great farming
regions Of the West.
Since these farms will be worked al
most entirely by the convalescent SOL
dlers and those made unfit for active
service, the expense Of maintenance
will be very little.
But the saving Of human life will be
enormous. And every farmer In this
country who enrolls In the Christmas
Red Cross Roll Call will be helping in
directly to carry on this reconstruction
work among the mutilated soldiers In
France.
