TWENTY-FIVE KIDDIES
FROM MASON COUNTY
In STATE HOME
During 25 Years Kentucky Chlldren's
Home Has Cared For 22 Ma.
son County Children.

Fate had decreed that they be child
less; but the mother heart Of the wife
longed for little child. The husband,
though loving children, became de-
voted to dogs and kept large pack OF
fox hounds. Thus 1t happened that a
little ward Of the Kentucky Children's
Home Society, Louisville, found a
happy home with the childless couple
Of q wealthy family.
He was a beautiful little baby boy
and because of his mothers broken
home, the County Judge had commit
ted him to the care Of the childrens
home.
When the train stopped and the
agent of the home stepped onto the
platform with his little charge, sweet
faced woman and big hearty looking
man stepped forward.
ooh. the darling" cried his new fos-
ter mother, "Joe aren't you glad" she
said turning to her husband, then to
the agent she said my husband is
very fond Of fox hunting and is presi-
dent of the fox hunters association. |
told him that If he could afford to keep
all those dogs, we certainly could af-
ford just one baby"
The little boy since has been adopt
ed. He has never known that he is
not their real child TO rhe is dearly
loved and every opportunity is being
given him to grow into useful, hon
orable citizen.
From Mason county, ~ children
have been committed to the Kentucky
Children's Home Society and during
the twenty-five years Of its existence
only $4,000 has been appropriated by
the fiscal court for the upkeep of this
institution.

Allen Dale Farms had two COWS in the
list by the same sire, Fairy Glen's Raj
eight, while Perraut Brothrs had two
animals among the high producers
sired by Hamley's Plymouth Silver.
Good feed and management coupled
with regular tests rather than expens-
i've equipment which the average
dairyman cannot afford has been re-
sponsible for the records Of the Ken
lucky COWS, according to Mr.. Hooper.
Tests may be conducted by any farm
err on the animals in his herd and is
the one sure means of distinguishing
between high producers and the mere
" average cows as well as increasing
the value of the herd and its prestige
among dairymen.

Of the College of Agriculture. The list
Of high producers is contained in the
last number of the official publication
of the Jersey breed association and Is
prepared from the list of animals sub
mitted by the agricultural colleges OF

cording to the official report She pro-
duced 1,071 pounds of milk and rs

Local Men Ask
Game Sanctuary
in East Part of City

Thomas A. James and Fred w.
Lee of Augusta appeared before the
committee on Inland Fisheries and
Game at Wednesday afternoons
hearing at the State House in favor
of the proposed act to establish a
game sanctuary in Range 8. east of
the Kennebec river, in the city of
Augusta, Kennebec county.
They stated that the territory in
volved was about 600 or 700 acres
and that Mr.. Lee owned about half of
it. All but two of the other owners
have signed petition for the bill.
One of the two withholders feared
that it might affect the sale of her
farm property and the other said
that while he had not fired a gun on
his property for five years, he might
want to and then wanted the privi-
lege. However, neither of the parties
had decided definitely against it.
The proposers said that the section
was an ideal spot for breeding pur-
poses and that ceel, cartridges and
pheasants had been there, although
the first two were at the mercy of the
hunters in open season. Mr.. James
said that last summer the place had
seven fine deer. but with the opening
of the hunting season hunters killed
five at once.
The section was about one by
three smiles, heavily wooded and it
was proposed to close it to hunting
and dogs. but not to trapping.
A new draft of the bill was sub
mitted to the committee, as follows:
An ACT establishing a Game Sane
tuary In Range Three. east of the
Kennebec River, in the City of Au-
gusta and County of Kennebec.
Section /. No person shall, except
as herein provided. at any time,
hunt, pursue. shoot at Or kill any
wild animal or any game or other
