our friends a fond adieu as we retire

Henry is leaving and We will be for

hate to lose Thomas, as he was the
only friend We had at the Publican

he's still promising-no checks but
mighty good promise.
Why worry about a little thing
like money?

all be bone dry, then somebody will
have to give me tip, else tell all

MANS FACE CRUSHED

John Golf, a farm hand working
for Ben Morris, near Renfrow, was
seriously injured in kick by horse,
Tuesday morning. Mr.. Golf was
blowing a double team, and while
sitting on the pillow beam, resting the
team, one of the horses kicked him in
the face and shoulder. A calk of the
horses shoe struck him near the righ;
eye, penetrating the flesh to some

Meeting his skull and nose. Also his

School teaching is one of our
worthiest professions. 1t involves
the responsible duty Of character
building and mental training, the eff
feet of which in a large measure
shapes the destiny of the pupil
through life. For the proper train
ing of the pupil the teacher himself
needs years of training. With the
present meager salaries paid teachers
many of those best fitted for the work
turn to some employment more re-
munerative, resulting in school work
being largely left to the young and
inexperienced. The remedy for this
condition is of course better pay.
Kentucky makes progress slowly to-
ward justly rewarding its teachers,
and unless the teachers themselves
take up the matter in a methodical
way little relief is in sight. The rem
edy is in a thorough organization of
the teachers. Every county in the
state should effect a thorough organ
ization and when the legislature
meets each send delegate to Frank
fort with orders to stay until the
body adjourns or laws providing
adequate pay for school teaching are
passed. Such an organization would
achieve its end.

ience, knows and has known the I'm
portance of building for the future
as well as the present.
The first thing railroad does after
obtaining right-of-way, as everyone
knows. is to build a roadbed and lay
tracks. That roadbed is put in to
stay. The track, which corresponds
to the surface of the highway, is built
of the most substantial and practical
material to be had.
The railroad officials, however do
not expect this roadbed and track to
last forever without attention. Long
ago they learned that the only way
to assure safety and durability is to
anticipate depreciation and make con-
slant repairs.
That is just what we are coming to
In road building. For years it has been
customary dor county engineers to
direct such operations but for the
most part their work has been ham
pered by lack Of funds, and made
quate force or by limited legislation
and more or less red tape. There are
some states In which farmers are still
working out their road tax by the day,
hauling gravel or stone In more or
less haphazard fashion for the con-
struction of roads; upon their efforts
and those of limited force of hired
workers depends the maintenance of
the community's highways.

CHANGE IDEAS ON HIGHWAYS
Manufacturing Public No Longer Re.
CARDS Good Roads as speedways
for Fortunate Neishbors.

The public's conception of good
roads" has undergone a radical change
in the last two years.
Prior to the entry of the United
States into the world war, the non
motoring American public. more often
than not thought good roads were adj
vocated chiefly FOR the benefit of their
more fortunate neighbors who owned
and drove their own motor cars,
writes Il. A. Williams, Jr., president
of q large motor truck company. They
were inclined to regard good roads
laws as class legislation and were I'M
willing for the most part to lend either
financial or moral support to the con-
struction and upkeep of something
from which they derived no direct
benefits so far as they could see.
The war merely FASTENED what
leaders of the industry had foreseen
for several years; it furnished the set
ting and the conditions which enabled
the truck to establish itself as a fac
tor in the economic life of the coun-
Ty.
The non-motoring public no longer
looks upon good roads as "speedways"
for the motoring "aristocracy." 1t has
come to realize that motor trucks
are essential as transportation factors,
and that good roads are necessary to
the efficient operation of trucks. Its
vision has been broadened; II sees the
advantages and benefits which accrue
from a combination Of these factors
benefits which have a direct bearing
upon the economic conditions of the
community.
1t sees the farm brought, one might
say, to the very table of the consumer;
1t sees an ultimate decrease in food
prices; and, those who pause to con-
slider the matter further, see the ever
expanding range of possibilities of the
ruck and its ally, good roads.
With the universal recognition and
adoption of the motor truck the pub
lies conception OF how roads should
be built also has undergone a change.
Heretofore there has been a vast diff
ference between the average mans
idea Of good roads and that of the
experienced engineer. The average
man was content TO build for the pres
ent; the engineer, as result of past
and not altogether satisfactory exper-

ment of Agriculture)
Few people realize when they sit
down to dinner including fresh fruits
and vegetables, the great. problems
confronting the producer, carrier and
jobber in packing, loading, preserving
in transit, or marketing these perish
able foodstuffs. Systems Of marketing
have been so developed that these
perishable products can be placed in
prime condition at the very door of
the consumer. Even when the snow
covers the ground in the North, people
in large cities are supplied with straw
berries and oranges from Florida,
caulifiower and lettuce from Cali
fornia, and green onions and radishes
from Louisiana.
While many problems have been
solved, others have been only partially
cleared away. The proper type of
packages or containers for marketing
perishables comes in the latter class.
A visitor to any wholesale district in a
large city is confronted with a con-
fusing array of baskets, boxes and
crates of every conceivable size and
shape, which may cause him to wonder
how business can be carried on under
such circumstances.
Berry and Grape Baskets Standard.
The first piece of national legisla-
tion covering containers for fruits and
vegetables applied to barrels, which
was followed by the standard con-
tainer act in 1916, standardizing berry
boxes, climax or grape baskets and
other small containers.
Now all berries and grapes that
move across state lines are carried in
standard sized packages, while manu-
facturers no longer make other types
OF grape and berry baskets. This in
sures square DEAF to producer
and consumer, because the full-meas-
ure baskets mean that the producer
no longer loses on oversize containers
and the consumer gets full measure
when he buys berries and grapes.
Various states have passed laws
standardizing other forms of con-
tainers, but there is sometimes lack

confusion arises at receiving markets.
This is especially true in the case of
hampers in which vast amounts of
fruit and vegetables are shipped each
year from many producing sections.
Too Many Sizes of Hampers.
To eliminate much of the confusion
and modify marketing products in
hampers, the United States depart
ment of agriculture favors the stand
ardization Of hampers along three
general lines as to capacity, dimen-
sions and strength.
The hamper basket is popular
shipping container, particularly in the
eastern and southern states. Each
year about 300,000,0O0 of these baskets,
of all sizes, are manufactured in about
100 factories near the large producing
sections or in the timber areas. Some
of the larger factories turn out from
100000 to 100000 baskets annually,
and one firm is known to have an out
put of over 100000. By the use of
machines making 500 to 300 baskets
daily, the manufacturer has been able
to increase his output greatly.
