MASON COUNTY IS
CALLED UPON TO
CONTRIBUTE $4,000
Mason County Is Given an Opportun-
ity to Show Its Appreciation For
Kentucky Children's Home
Has Cared For 20 Of
Our Children.

Mr.. l.. N. Harvin, field agent for the
Kentucky's Children's Home met with
members of the Maysville Settlement
Club and other interested citizens at
the County Commissioners room In
the Court House this afternoon to dis
cuss the part Mason county is going
to take in the great campaign now un-
der headway throughout the state to
give to the orphan children of the
state new home on a small farm
near Louisville.
Mason county has been asked to
contribute $4,000 toward a fund with
which to purchase and furnish this
farm home for the Kentucky Chill
dren's Home Society. This home has
cared for 20 Mason county orphans
since its organization and within the
past eight or ten years they have
taken 25 orphans from Mason county.
The County Fiscal Court has been
contributing to the upkeep of the
home but this Is the first time they
have called upon individuals to make
contribution.
The campaign in the county will be
handled through the county school
teachers and the Community Clubs
and the Maysville Settlement Club has
been asked to care for the campaign
in the city of Maysville.
The officers of the home say that
the children need to be in the country
instead of stuffy building in the city
of Louisville and the interest that Is
being shown over the state indicates
that we in their own home in the coun-
try before long. The people Of Mason
county will most certainly do their
full part.

INTEREST SHOWN IN
farmers BUREAU
Seventeen Counties In Kentucky Now
Organizing and Others Ex-
pected TO Follow.

Farmers in seventeen Kentucky
counties are now organizing Farm Bu-
reaus and the number Is expected to
increase soon, according to Goeffrey
Morgan, State agent of the Agricultur-
al Extension Division of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky, who returned Fridny
from a tour of Western Kentucky.
In Henderson county 400 farmers
have already pledged as members, and
a goal of 1000 has been set. The same
spirit is being shown in Union, Logan
and other counties, Mr.. Morgan said,
and the movement seems to be gaining
strength in every part Of the State.
The purpose of the bureau is to aid
the farmer in every way, and not to
fight the merchant or any other organ
ization. Some of the objects sought
are central headquarters FOR farm
ers in the county seat where his wo-
menfolk and children may rest and
have their parcels sent; where he may
dictate his business letters to compe-
tent stenographers; learn the market
price of all his products at any hour
by telephone or personal visit; meet
his friends and have meetings
BY organizing the farmers by coun-
ties and states 1t is also hoped to sta
blize the markets for certain periods
thus reducing the cost of living and
preventing the hardships now worked
upon farmers who must take lower
price for their live stock while the
retail price of meats is not lowered.

Of legislation should be enacted. Wheth-
er he was successful is not known, but
II did become appaNent here late this
week that some plans were on foot to
finish at least some of the legislation of
the session in a way that would not
leave the people of the state totally
helpless in the reconstruction period
1t was considered here that the vici-
Gus attacks in the house Tuesday on the
specific appropriation bill resulted in
much good to the taxpayers as to some
items. but that the spirit of using the

have been done to some Institutions in
the curtailmcnt of their specific require
ments for the next two years Plans
were under way. II was said. to remedy
any OF these situations in the senate

this week. If that were found to be pos
sible.

LACK OF LEADERSHIP.
Lack of real leadership in both houses
has caused much OF the friction. much
of the delay and much OF the harum-
scarum legislation that thus far has
marked the progress of the session. In
the house the majority leadership was
divided at the beginning of the session
when Charles L. Mendenhall was named
floor leader. but the appropriation bills
were given to Representative Swain. OF
the visiting committee. The result has
been that Speaker Eschbach had to bear
many OF the burdens ordinarily carried
BY floor leaders. In the senate the floor
leader Of the majority Harry Z. Negley.

target OF shafts aimed in political

Meanwhile Lieutenant Governor Bush

ture including the Governor. Speaker
Eschbach, the Republican state com

has injected politics into the situation
wherever possible and has made the

beginning to the end. Out of all this

looking for possible political results. II
