Brookline-Tractor and Horse
Power Demonstrations.

Arrangements are progressing well for
the field day of the Farm Bureau, which
will be held Friday, Aug. % County
Agent W. 2. frost t.announced today that
location had been secured and that the
event would take place at the Howe Bros.
farm on the edge of Brookline.
Some difficulty was experienced in find
ing suitable place for the field day, on
account of the necessity of securing a
place where there was available land for
blowing, which will be done in the tractor
and horse power demonstrations. At the
Howe farm a lot of five acres was found
which the owners We're willing to have
used for the demonstration, and at the
same time enough open space IS available
for the gathering of the county farmers
and the picnic lunch.

TWO POINTS INVOLVED
IN SETTLEMENT
First, How Much Has Living
Cost Increased Above
Wages; Second, What
Wages Are Being Paid for
Like Work in Other In
dustries = President Au-
thOrizes Hines to Settle
Question on Merits

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Director-
General Hines today awaited word from
the unions that all of the striking
shopmen had returned to work before
undertaking to carry out President
Wilson s instructions to settle the wage
controversy On its merits.
The telegraph system of the railroad
administration was put at the dispos
al of the union officers and orders that
the men should go back to work went
out to 500 local chairmen.
Mr.. Hines is understood to consider
that two main points are involved in
the settlement and wage demands:
first, how much the cost of living has
increased beyond the increase in wag-
es; second, what wages are being paid
in other indu3,r ries for the same classes
of work. Any advances granted will
be proportioned to enable the employ
es to maintain their standard Of lifC
and 10 retain competent men who might
otherwise be attracted TO other em
ployment.
President Wilson last night mott
fed Director General Hines that h,
was authorized to take up the demands
of railroad shop employees for highe
wages and decide them on their mer
its.
The President wrote that the lette
sent him by Senator Cummins, chair
man of the committee on interstat
commerce, 'Flfad set me free to dea
as / think best with the difficult ques
tion of the wages of certain classes o
the railroad employees.
"The chief obstacle TO a decision,
the President said, ''has been create
by the men themselves. They have gon
out on strike and rcpudiated the AT
thority of their officers at the yer
moment when they were urging actio
in regard to their interests.
The President added that "until til
employees return to work and again re-
ognize the authority Of their organ
zation The whole matter mua. be ;

KENTUCKY SCHOOLS ON
 FIVE HEAR THRIFT PLAN
New Couree of Study to Make Men and Women of Future More
 Prosperous.

Educational authorities in Kentucky have officially gone on record as favor ing the Thrift campaign promulgated by the Treasury department of the United States, and the new course of study for tLe I g Grass State, u t is just from the ress, and which l.,s been adopted for the next fee years, has full course of study on Thrift, and the teachers are instructed that this must be used as a regular in struction for their pupils.
 State Superintendent of Instruction V. o. Gilbert has issued a special letter to the 12,O0O Kentucky teachers under his charge, and has impressed on them the importance of giving spe- cial attention to this branch of edu. cation, which he says is of prominent importance.
 He points out the fact that in the days gone by, before the World War opened the eyes of all nations to the absolute necessity of Thrift and Say ing, that Waste was the rule, and that America was justly classed as the most wasteful of all the nations.
 He urges that by beginning with the pupils of the lower grades, and con- tinuing the study through five con- secutive years, probably more good will result to all the people than from the same amount of study given to any other branch of education
 Those who are now in the grades in the public schools in a decade will be the young men and women of af- fairs in the business and social world, and the ideas of Thrift and Saving in. culcated now will bear fruit for many years to come.
 And again, in more practical way, the quarters that are now being invest ed in Thrift Stamps will have grown into War Savings Stamps and Treas. ury savings Certificates, and these will have matured, and with the APT per cent interest these "baby bonds'' will have been cashed and invested in some other line of endeavor, and will help to start the one in business who began saving in a modest way. Kentucky Is preparing to wage re- lsntless war on the Waste evil, and the school is to be used as one of the most effective weapons.
