KENTUCKY FoRTY.F|FTA
IN SCHOOL EFFICIENCY
FOrty-fOur States In the Union Have
More Efficient School Than
Kentucky Says Colyln.

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 10. - Kentucky
ranks forty-fifth among the states of
the United States in general school ef-
ficiency, according to statement
given out here Saturday by State Su-
perintendent George Colvin. The rank
ing is based on enrolment of pupils,
average attendance, length of term
and holding power"
Kentucky's school fund, according
to the statement, is very large as COM
pared with other states, but prior to
enactment of the new county school
administration law only cents out Of
So paid for elementary training in
rural schools outside of city and grad
ed school districts, came from local
taxation. county or district.
"Kentucky's state fund almost ex-
actly equals the total amount paid by
counties and districts for all school
purposes. In the United States the av-
erage is 81 from the state to S. from
local taxation. In the three states di-
rectly north Of Kentucky the ratio is
81 from the state to $40 from local
taxation.
IF our local taxing units would
come up to the national standard we
should have about $12,OOO,OOO added
to our local school fund"

STR|BLIN CAUGHT
BYOHIO OFFICER and
WAVES LEGAL FORM
Man Who Shot George Brewer on the
Limestone Bridge Three Weeks
Ago, Is Arrested by Marshal
Rubin ROush.

Lee Striblin, who shot and wounded
George Brewer on Limestone bridge
three weeks ago and who has since
been a fugitive from Justice, was ar
rested in Aberdeen this morning by
Marshal Rubin Roush, of that village,
and was this afternoon returned to
this city by that officer and turned
over to the local police
Striblin has been in Ohio since the
evening he shot and wounded Brewer
He has been working for farmers in
the Manchester neighborhood at strip
ping tobacco and has on several occa-
sions come to Aberdeen where he
met his wife and received clothing
from her. Local police have been
watching the wife and had also re-
ceived information to the effect that
Striblin was in Ohio and had often
visited Aberdeen.
A few days ago Marshal Roush was
asked by the local police to keep a
sharp lookout for the fugitive and
arrest him on sight. This morning
Striblin came to Aberdeen and in q
short time the Aberdeen marshal had
him under arrest Strblin at first re-
fused to come to Maysvile without the
necessary reQuisition on the Cover
nor of Ohio and arrangements were
begun to procure those papers. Srtib-
lin then called for his attorney, Mr..
Frank p. O'Donnell, who went to Alb
erdeen and advised Striblin to waive
this form and come to Kentucky with
the Ohio officer. 1t was not, however,
until an automobile had been procured
and the officer and prisoner were
about to get into the machine to go to
Georgetown to await the requisition,
that Striblin agreed to come to this
side.
Striblin's wife, who had met him in
Aberdeen this afternoon, accompanied
the prisoner and went with him to the
police station. 1t is likely that the
prisoner will be given an examining
trial before Police Judge John l..
Whitaker tomorrow afternoon and the
case will be at once referred to the
grand jury,
Striblin claims he shot Brewer in
self-defense, saying that Brewer had
knocked him down onto the sidewalk
before he fired. Brewer is much i'm
proved and is able to be out.

Earth ls Slowing Down.

Happily for our convenience, the
process is extremely slow, but all the
same the fact is that the days are
getting longer.
This does not refer to hours or
daylight increasing with the advancing
year, but to days as timed by the
revolution of the earth on its axis.
The earth's power Of rotation, says
a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly, is growing weaker and as a
result its revolution on its axis Is
slowing up. Which means, Of course,
that the day is lengthening.
An epoch must eventually arrive
when the day will be equal in length
to the year; that Is, to the time 1t
takes for us to revOlve about the SUI
Then the earth will always turn the
same face toward the solar luminary,
just as the moon now always turns the
same face toward US, and One-half of
our planet will have sunshine all the
ear, while the other half is in total
and permanent darkness.
That is, If the sun still is shining.
1t may become a dim and chilly orb
before then.

WOMEN MUST AVOID WORRY
Weakens the Body for Its Daily Fight
for Health, mt So Destroys
Good Looks.

Every minute that a woman spends
In worry, weakens the body for it's
daily fight for health. 1t adds age,
it causes deep burrows to appear on
the forehead, it Injuries the digestion
and robs life Of all pleasures and
peace. So if you wish to keep your
good looks, don't worry.
Work gives incentive. and thus life
ana health, to the organs of the body.
1t strengthens u will, teaches US
patience, perseverance and the cOur
age to endure. 1t has been the sal
walton Of many. The hOmely duties
that are performed by the house moth
er each day, the sweeping, cooking
and home caring, are wholesome du-
ties which lead to health and strength.
But If women allow their daily
tasks to fret and worry them, they
lose all Of the benefit they otherwise
would gain. 1t is not always the ac-
tual work that wears out the nerves
and temper and ruins the disposition.
1t Is the spirit in which the work is
done which allows worry to creep In.
