A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY o. THE YEAR
BY John Kendriek Bangs.
A HELPFUL ENEMY.

The bowling wolf outside the door
Gets really little credit for
The virtues great that in him lie
Not clearly seem by human eye:
How seldom does the thought occur
That he's a most efficient spur
To urge us on from present stress
To things of ultimate success,
And that. his riotous hallooing
Results ofttimes in Something'Do

number OF horses reported farms January l.
1915 when the total was 2rs55ooo Since that time
Der has been decreasing but the decrease hardly as much
as might be expected in of the development of farm
motors and trucks
The number of mules has remained practically constant
during the although they show increase of half
million compared with 1914
The number of milk has increased steadily each year.
but the number Of other cattle decreased sharply this year
The high Of feed and the utilization ranges for crops
has seriously affected the number of beef animals
Sheep show decrease of nearly year ago.
In 1910 the census report showed 748ooo sheep has
been gradual decrease each until present
number is 100000 less than a decade ago
In regard to swine, the estimate for the present year
shows decrease of 100000 from the high year ago.
Stimulated by the demands of the allies and the stabilized
price, the number of hogs increased from in 1917 to
7oo7Soo in 1918 and finally 7sooo 1919 1t has been
evident from the marketing of hogs that number the

Round the Town
Jaunting With
Capt. J. Walter Mitchell.
Indorsed By Gompers,

There was ring OF sincerity in the
after-luncheon talk OF SAMUEL COM
PERS, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, when-he was re-
quested by Col. WINFIELD JONES to
address the incorporators and advisory
committee Of the movement for Dis
trict suffrage at the midday function
at the New Willard. President Com
pers' who has been referred to as the
uncrowned king of the labor world &"
declared he not only favors representa-
ton for the District in the Senate and
House. but believes the municipal OFF,
cials OF voteless Washington should
be elected. Mr.. Gompers said this
movement is not political one. but
involves the most sacred prerogatiye
OF the American citizen-the right to
determine who shall govern public az
fairs-which is guaranteed by the Con-
stltution. He suggested means of
creating fund to carry on the pa-
triotic propaganda, and said he would
actively assist in the work Of "Ameri- :
canizins the voteless residents of
Washington"

CALvER, 267 A street southeast,
medical director, Department of the
Potomac. G. A. r., and poet, saws
the recent war experience has thor
oughly tested the patriotism of the
American people and they were not
found wanting in any particular.
This is undoubtedly due to n
great extent" he says, "to the In
fiuence of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the lessons 1t has con-
stantly taught in fostering a true
love of our land and its institu-
tions. and a courage to defend them
against all enemies, together with
a nobility of soul and purpose which
must necessarily result from the OBJ
servance of those virtues upon which
our order is based-Fraternity,
Loyalty"

IL is cut diagonally by the Santa Fe rail way and is thus afforded excellent transportation facilities. Water for ir- rigating this property is pumped from drilled wells in the Agua F'ria basin, these wells being distributed all over the entire holdings. The water" lift varies according to location, from 90 feet to more than 100 feet. At certain seasons of the year considerable water is taken from the Aguas Fria river through the Marinette canal by gravity as well as waste water from the Water Users canal north of Peoria, which IS siphoned under New river.

AMERICAN LEGION FOR EDUCATION
State Commander Comes Out Squarey for County Board
of Education Chosen Without Regard to Politics

The American Legion believes in ed
ucating young America. Mr.. Ulrich
Bell, Commander of Kentucky, lately
gave this paper the following view
point which should be read by every
ex-soldier, parent and thinking citi-
ben:
Mere clannishness for the sake Of
yarn-swapping on left over memories
Of the war-time-simple contact with
ones own ilk-would never have
served as a sufficient basis for the ex-
istence of the American Legion. Only
deep-laid principles, those set out
below by the far-sighted founders Of
the Legion, could have sufficed for an
organization which aspired to the place
the Legion now occupies.
'TO foster and perpetuate a one
hundred per cent Americanism' and
ito inculcate a sense of individual OBJ
legation to the community, state and
nation"

THE MAD DOG SEASON

The time of year when the mad
dog scare flourishes is a good time
to remember that true rabies is
rare. Dogs do, however, suffer from
heat and thirst and resulting bad
temper. For their comfort as we'll
as for human safety water should
be placed where they can get il
easily, and children should be warn
ed TO refrain from teasing their own
pets or making overtures to strange
dogs in hot weather.
Since the bite of any animal is Ii
able to cause infection, the care of
a physician is advisable as a pre-
cautionary measure in all such cases
and if there is any reason for grave
suspicion prompt action should be
takeE. In any event, panic should
be avoided. 1t can do no good, anG
in the majority of cases is entirely
unwarranted. Most dogs supposedly
are only hot or thirsty or frighten-
ed, and just like human beings are
irritable because they are uncon-

SCHOOL SITUATION IN STATE

The following news story which
came from Washington about August
1st is given to set the reader to think
ing about the school situation in Ken
lucky. The story is followed by an in
terview which our correspondent had
with Honorable George. COlvin, State
superintendent Of Public Instruction.
so our readers might have the whole
truth in the matter.
FOrty-one and One-tenth per cent Of
the average school term in Kentucky
is wasted because Of irregular attend
ance, according to figures compiled
and announced by the Bureau of Edu-
through irregular attendance is greater
in Kentucky than in any other State,
officials of the Federal Bureau say.
Indiana, on the other hand, wastes
only per cent Of its average school
term through irregular attendance. and
stands first in the list of States on
school attendance records, while Ken
lucky stands at the bottom.
The amount Of school terms wasted
by irregular attendance on an average
for all the States is 25.4 per cent, or
just about half way between the fig-
ures given on Indiana and on Ken
lucky. Educational officials here point
out that the school term i'm Kentucky.
on the average, represents only $50
days if the allowance were 100 per
cent, but the actual school term is re-
duced because Of poor attendance to
| about eighty-eight days. 1t is esti-
mated that this irregular attendance
| wastage Of school term results in a
| financial loss of approximately $780,
600.
Kentucky's new school attendance
! law, passed by the last Legislature
| is designated by officials of the Fed
eral Bureau of Education as one of the
most far-reaching and important pieces
| Of legislation ever passed for the bene-
| fit Of Kentucky's educational system.
The Honorable Geo COlvin had the
following to say concerning the above
news item:
81 might suggest that statistics with
us are so unreliable as to make any
conclusion Of this sort wholly a matter
of conjecture. We are not attempting
to eXtenuate our condition, nor to
make excuses for it. We know that
it is deplOrably bad. We are trying to
face the situation honestly and fear
lessly. We are eXerting every effort
TO improve the efficiency of our
schools, to increase the attendance,
and TO develop public sentiment that
will demand and support measures
looking to these ends.
"We are greatly encouraged by the
determination and desire everywhere
expressed to improve our educational
conditions. We seem to have the need
ed legislation, thanks to the courage
and wisdom of our last General Assem-
bly,. Our present obligation is to put
these new laws into effect. The situa-
ton does not call for despOndency or
