NEW YORK LUMBER CUT
DOUBLED IN VALUE
Report Of Forest Service Shows That
Lumber Production in NUew York
Has Greatly Increased.

New York cut 411,O0O,OO0 feet OF
lumber in 1920, valued at $2O,OOO,OOO
or nearly double the value of the 1915
cut. This remarkable increase was
due primarily to the great postwar
increase in lumber prices, which
reached its peak in March, 1920 to-
gether with the fact that the quantity
of lumber sawed increased rs per cent
in two years. The number of mills
cutting $4,000 feet or more increased
from 1923 to 1906 in the same period.
The average valuation o. b. mill OF
the lumber cut was s4S per NJ feet
the highest point on record
This is a preliminary statement of
the Forest Sercise, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, cooperating
with the Bureau of the Census, United
States Department of Commerce, and
with the State of New York, in the cen,
sus of lumber production in 1920.
Hemlock retains first place in guam.

100000 SAVED
FOR ROAD FUND,
CLERKS INCOME CUT
Appeals Court Decides County Clerks
Are not Entitled To Auto
License Fees-InJunc-
ton Dissolved.

Frankfort, Ky.-The state road fund
was saved approximately 100000 by
the decision Of Chief Justice Rollin
Hurt in the Court OF Appeals, dlssolv-
ing an Injunction obtained by two
County Clerks which would have per-
mitted them to withhold per cent.
commissions out of automobile license
taxes for collecting them.
Under a general license law County
Clerks are allowed five per cent. for
collecting and reporting monthly to
the State Auditor, By the motor We
hicle act Of 1920 they are required to
issue motor licenses and they receive
30 cents in fees from each applicant,
besides fees ranging from 40 cents to
81 for transfers, duplicating lost IL
censes, issuing duplicate platesf, issu-
ing chauffeurs' licenses and various
other duties. The Clerks contended
they were also entitled to teh statutory
commission of five per cent.
They Do not report these with other
licenses to the Auditor, but to the
State Tax Commission, and Justice
Hurt said there is no consistency be-
tween the provisions of the general
license law, which specifies the duties
for which five per cent. commissions
are allowed, and the motor vehicle
act which purports to be a complete
law in itself" He said that the 1920
General Assembly intended the stipu-
lated fees to cover al 1.-The clerks COM
pensation and that the general license
law related to particular duties enum-
Grated in its are equally evident, The
1920 act requires the clerks to turn
over to the Tax Commission al lmotor
license revenues collected, he said
County Clerks j. B. Nash, Franklin,
and S. H. Lewis, Fayette, obtained in
functions in the Franklin Circuit
Court, restraining Henry E. James,
State Inspector and Examiner, from
with thei retention of 5
per cent. commissions on motor licen-
SEES, and raised the issue as to whether
the yare entitled to the additional
compensation.

Many lives and much properly are
lost every year because of accidents
due to venereal diseases, says the U
s. Public Health Service. So great In
fact are these losses that the Nationa
Safety Council has issuer a bulletin or
them. For instance, four serious re-
cent railway wrecks we're traced tc
employees who failed because they
were suffering from paresis, which is
a form Of synhilis.

PRESIDENT SAMUEIS
ADDRESS BEFORE
CLASS OF 1921
President Of City School Board Makes
Address Before Last Gradual.
Ing Class Before Re-
tirement,

DR.. ]. H. Samuel retires this yeal
as president of the City Board Of Edu'
cation and in his address to the class
Of 1921 at the commencement exercis'
es Thursday evening he said in part.
My Friends: - On behalf of the
graduating class, the corps of teach
ers and the Board of Education, / de-
sire to thank you for your presence
here this evening. observed with a
great deal Of pleasure your facial ex-
preston during the exercises clearly
demonstrating your hearty acceptance
Of their youthful ideals, aspirations
and ambitions.
Every citizen of Maysyille should
have Just pride in our school system
as 1t exists at the present time for l
assure you there is none better in any
city of our class in the Southland
AS the personnel of the present
Board of Education will cease to func-
ton long before there is another COM
mencement, | know of no better time
to say that we have done our very best
for the promotion and betterment of
the school system; loyalty aided and
supported by the superintendent and
the entire teaching force.
In this building there has been in
stalled a water filtering system that is
the very last effect in efficiency be-
ing a duplicate of the one used by the
Rockefeller Institute for medical re-
search and for scientific experimental

picture machine for visual training
with every needed accessory. | want
to say to the patrons that the possibili-
ties for good down this fire of educa-
tional training are so far reaching that
even the most sanguine advocates hes
itate to forecast the priceless ed,hca-
tional results upon the minds of the
student body. In point of fact the en-
tire structure Of the curriculum is
such that no student has the least ex-
cuse for going from here unprepared
for his life work.
These improvements have been
promptly paid for because this Board
has guarded and protected the finan-
cial interests of this institution in a
manner that should calI forth ap-
proval of this entire community. 1t is
a fact that more than one city of Ken

There can be no progress, no achiev-
ment without sacrifice, and mans
worldly success will be in the measure
that he sacrifices his confused animal
thoughts, and fixes his mind on the
development of his plans, and the
Strengthening of his resolutions and
self-reliance. And the higher he lifts
his thoughts, the more manly, upright,
and righteous he becomes, the greater
will be his success, the more blessed
and enduring will be his achievements.

SERMON DELIVERED BY DIR. CHAPPELL,
BROADWAY METHODIST CHURCH, SUNDAY

Every intelligent, civilized man
tainly every Christian man must be-
lieve in Sleepy Hollow. Mr.. Boreham
tells US thai he believes in it with
all Of his heart, although he does not
live there. l thrink / can say l be-
iieve the same for myself. as / might
for many OF you. Our author goes on
10 say that people laugh at Sleepy
Hollow. The world has always been
u great laugher. Especially has the
world been great at laughing at folks
and things that it had no business
laughing at. Fools generally laugh or
stmper for the reason that they know
how 10 do but little else. So i re-
peat. the world has been an expert
laugher at the people who have done
things. No doubt everybody laughed
al Noah and Nehemiah, but they went
on and made history and shaped en-
pires while folks laughed. Nearly all
the prophets We're laughed 10 scorn.
The martyrs made royal run for folks
as they became burning torches 10
light the world. They laughed at Co
innbus. When Jesus Christ was dis
cussing the problem Of deaun ana try
ing Do prepare the peoples mind to
comprehend the resurrection, they
laughed Him 10 scorn,
do not know what has become
OF ali those laughers more than the
fact that their mouths out OF which
came this hollow laughter have long
since been stopped with dust and with
death. suppose Columbus, the pro-
rhets, the martyrs and Christ are now
laughing; for me who laughs last
laughs best on this same basis peo-
pie may laugh at Sleepy Hollow, but
the laugh will come right some day.
A man once said he believed that ev-
cry man or woman who wishes 10
unite with the church should be asked
one question: DO you sleep well?'
i. he or she cannot answer this ques-
ton in the affirmative they should
not be turned deliberately down but
