DREN FROM HOME.
KY. Children's Home Cares for
$50 Children. Many Made
Orphans by Flu" Epidemic.

Mr.. E. H. Collins, representing the
Kentucky Children's Home Society,
was in Cloverport, Thursday in the
interest of the home.
Mr. Collins reports that 500, 000,O 900
of the $3OO,O0O,OO0 campaign to build
new home had been raised, and
another effort would be made this fall
to raise the remainder. Breckenridge
county gave $1OO,O59 of its 100000
quota in the campaign.
Last winter the home cared for $50
children Thirty of this number have
been placed in private homes this
spring. Mr.. Collins stated that infu-
enza and the high cost of living were
the causes for so many more children
in the home this year than ever be-
fore Many of them are children from
the mountains where the influenza
was so prevalent and who were left
orphans. Others have been sent to
the home because of the high cost
of food and their parents could not
support them.
According to Mr. Collins statement
it takes z boxes of oatmeal every
morning for breakfast, 35 pounds of
beef. on meat days, pounds of cam
ned tomatoes and ~ bushels of po-
tatoes for one meal. With the increas-
ed cost of food he said, the home
would not have sufficient means to
meet its expenses this year.

RAILROAD MEN DE-
SERVE MORE PAY

Chicago, May 17.-Wage advances
should be granted to many railroad
workers to enable them to meet the
high cost OF living, the Association of
Railroad Executives declared today
in its opening statement before the
railroad labor board The board began
hearings today.
+. t. Whittier, chairman of the con-
ference of rail managers of the ex-
ecWives' association told the board
that some part of the wage demands
being made by 100000 railway en-
ployes probably would be found to be
justified by the rise in the cost of
living.
Agreement of the railroads them
selves that at least part of the men
should have more money is expected
to go far toward expediting early
settlement of the controversy which
eliminated last month in strikes by
disgruntled employees
The demand now before the boards
aggregate more than a billion dollars
a year, in addition to billion dollar
advance during the war and $780,
000,00 advance in the two years prior
to government control, according to
Mr.. Whittier. He presented figures to
show that the railway payroll had in
creased from 1915 per cent of the gross
earnings of the roads in 1915 to $50
per cent last year.

HINTS TO COUNTY
WOOL GROWERS
Shearing Season at Hand and
County Agent Lends Advice
About Clipping Fleece.

OF all years, at least to the present,
1920 presents conditions such as will
warrant the grading of woods In
seasons such as this buyers see things
thru peculiar eyes and 1t should not
be surprising If slight tendency to
under-grade woods were to make it's
self manifest. The situation this year
is entirely the reverse of what obtain
ed last year and we find wide spread
between the price of fine wool and
quarter blood. Accurate grading is
therefore more important, especially
from the income standpoint, than in
many years past, and farmers whether
or individually, should take pains to
separate all their fine woods from
quarter and low quarter blood.
The lowering of the grade upon a
small quantity of woods, particularly
if this might mean the dropping from
a quarter to low quarter grade, will
mean much of gain to the buyer and
much of loss to the producer of the
woods.
The shearing season is near at
hand, and wool growers throughout
the county should see that the wool is
clipped when the heeces are perfectly
dry, keep the tags separate from
fieeces, and tie fleeces inside out with
wool Irvine. Do not tie feeces with
binder Irvine, as it will not take dye
and you will be locked for Using it. A
pound of wool Irvine, will tie forty
fieeces, and can be obtained from the
American Core Irvine Co., so Fulda

As pcltS are becoming more and
more precious, and even those that
are considered ordinary and plentiful,
continue To advance in price. the own
er of fur coat looks upon 1t as an
investment that increases constantly
in value. 1t is hard to predict any
thing about the future prices of furs,
but people who are we'll informed
say there is no chance of their falling
for some time to come; the chances
are that they will continue to 20 up.
In view of this, short fur coats have
advantages over all others because
they cost less, are very smart and
present a chance to remodel partly
worn long coats into something that
is stylish ana now.
Some furs are difficult to make up
or to remodel because the skins must
be "matchrd, that is put together so
that the joining is hardly perceptblc
on the fur side. These require Il pro-

angular needles for sewing, chalk for
marking and strong thread. Home
