DEMAND FOR MEN,;
TOP WAGES PAID
Local Tobacco Given More Atten
ton Than Usual-Special
Grades This Year

The fact that tobacco strippers are
receiving reduced wages in various
parts of the state as we'll as graders
with limited experience are receiving
better wages than expeli i;mced men
has not changed the situation here
since the higher prices continue to
prevail and there is demand fol-
men at that price. Shippers are re-
ceiving So day, anu many of them
are getting their board, while grad
ers are being sought by many at 81
day and board. One man stated, in
speaking of wages that he mad receiv-
ed two offers of 81 per day to grade
tobacco. He reported dearth of ex-
perienced men, and some Of those
elsewhere.
There is much stripping and grad
ing, and especial attention is being
paid to grading this year. This, it is
believed, is due both to the organiza-
ton of the growers in order to tell
Immediately the grade of stripped to-
bacco and the ability to readily COM
mand the market price for the pro-
duct. The holding off of the buying
season has exercised some of the
growers to some extent, while 9TH
ers declare they will not sell at a
ridiculously price at any time, pre-
ferring to hold over their entire sup
ply.
The meeting in Washington in De-
cember as we'll as tn emeeting of the
association men at Lexington next
month, is being awaited with much
interest. Never has the tobacco
grower taken such interest in the
prevailing situation as at the pres
ent time. The fact that some have
spent large sums in producing this
years crop has sharpened their inter
est regarding the sale price, which
they maintain, must be held up o.
they will lose on their years work
Indications are that there will be {
remarkably large supply of tobacco
placed on the market at the time the
selling begins, if there is any price

BY CORRESPONDENCE
Eastern Normal, Western Nor
NAL and State University
Agree On Extension Work

school teachers and county super
intendents to qualify under the
new school law was adopted by
the University CT Kentucky anu
the two State Normal schools at
a conference held in Frankfort
this week by representatives of
the schools and George Colvin,
State Superintendent. For 4
nominal fee teachers and super
intendents may take a correspon-
dence course in high school work,
Professional training, administra-
ton and supervision. Kentucky
is the third state to adopt this
plan. Missouri and Wisconsin
have put it in practice.
Under the new law county su-
perintendeuts must qualify in
scholarship, administration and
supervision. They will not have
time to take special course, but
by entering the extension school
they may obtain the training. The
Sl2Ie BOARD OF Education VIII

force.
Teachers by 1926 must have a
full four years high school course

teachers, majority of whom lack
all or part OF this equipment.
They cannot qualify by attending
school between terms.
All colleges and normal schools
will recognize the credits they
receive for the correspondence

curses, if they desire TO take fur
ther trainig in colleges or normal
schools.

TWO LITTLE BOYS BURN
TO DEATH In HOME
Children Of Dave Hume and Ten
ant House On o. P. jackson
Farm Destroyed By Fire
Thursday

Two little sons of Dave Hume,
tenant on the farm of County At
torney o. p. Jackson, on the -Four
Mile Road, were burned to death
in FIRE which destroyed the ten
ant house ir which the Hume fam
lily lived, about 4 o'clock Thurs
day afternoon.
The children, aged three and a
half and lS months respectively,
had been left alone in the house
by the mother who had gone to
the home of Mr.. Jackson a quar-
ter OF a mile away on an errand.
Mr.. Hume was i'll town ut the
time.
There was a wood stove in the
living room at the Hume house,
and a fire in it when the mother
lett her two little ones for a short
time. Some one happened to look
toward the hollow in which the
four-room cottage was located,
and it burst into flames.
Bob Jackson. who was stripping
tobacco, and VIM. McSwain. who
was hunting nearby, rushed to the
burning house. Mr.. Jackson kick
ed the front door open and a flame
of fire burst out at him. He was
pulled back out of danger by Nc
Swain. Others rushed to the scene
but there was nothing that could
be done. The house was already
mass of fire. and it was impos-
sible to save the children or any
thing. and the flames had to be
permitted to burn out. The moth
er was frantic and sympathetic
hearts did what they could to
comfort her.
An effort was being made Fri
day morning to find the charred
bones of the little ones. but the
embcrs were still SO hot that it
would require some time for
them TO cool.
The Humes had lived but a year
on Mr.. Jackson's place, having
moved there from the Round Hill
section. The two little sons,
William and a. ID. Hume, were
their only children.
The house. which was practical
ly a new one, was the only thing
on Mr.. Jackson's place that was
uninsured.
