today in every community Of the
state are men and women among the
representative citizens, who owe
their success in life to the society
which saved them from the evil en-
vieonment of the county poor house.
More thousands Of these little
ones, destitute and friendless, await
longingly for the doors Of the Ken
lucky Children's Home Society to
open to them and now with pitiful
appeal they knock at the hearts Of
humanity for a chance. II is di-
vulged by statistics compiled by the
United States census that 80 per
cent Of the inmates of the prisons
are individuals who had training for
no work whatever. Illiterates COM
pose practically the entire army Of
our tramps, a tremendously expen-
sive group. One out of forty Of the
entire host Of fallen women in the
United States has had no training
in the matter Of trade or profession.
But we could go on with figures in
definitely.
All Of these conditions which add
to the burden Of public tax and
menace to public health are correct
ed in part by the Kentucky Chill
dren's Home Society, which takes in
the little waits, trains them, schools
the mand places them in households
where they are generally adopted
into the family. a
The society accepts only those
children committed to its care by
the county judges of the state, thus
relieving the various counties of
their care and putting the little ones
in surroundings that work for bet
ter citizenship.
From Montgomery county 4S chill
dren have been received into the
Kentucky Children's Home Society,
whereas the county fiscal court has
contributed $4,000 to its upkeep in
the quarter century Of its existence.
The quota from Montgomery coun-
ty is $953.72 and now it is urged
that every measure carried out to
raise this sum at once, in order that
the work of the society may not be
halted.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1921-11-01

Upon the mothers and school
children Of Kentucky rests the fate
Of thousands Of homeless and
friendless children throughout the
state, as only through completion
Of the cottage village at Lyndon
can these little waits be rescued
from squalor and crime by the Ken
lucky Children's Home Society.
Funds for the cottage village now
under construction are exhausted
and plans for the removal Of the
Kentucky Children's Home Society
by December l from the present
quarter on Baxter avenue to the
rural home will be halted unless the
appeal for money is answered by
the mother Of Kentucky.
The call of the country has echoed
throughout the crowded city home
for the 100 children that fill the
old row Of former residences which
have been converted for many years
into the quarters Of the institution
Two Of the buildings of the cot
tage village are nearly completed,
but the workmen must lay down
their tools, the children must forget
the happiness they had longed for,
if the appeal fails. George L. Sc
hon, superintendent of Athe society,
is asking the mothers and school
children for sufficient funds to
complete the village, in order that
the future home may be dedicated to
the school children Of today.
More than $500 children have
been taken in by the society since
its organization 25 years ago and

Conference Over Financial
Affairs of Company To Be
Continued; Transfer of
Business Here Is Hinted

The consolidated acceptance credit,
which according to circular issued
last month approximated s25.oo0,0o0,
owed by Funsten Bros. e. Co, the
International Fur Exchange, and due
yesterday, was not paid, according to
information obtained at the close of
meeting between officials of the fur
auction organization and mem bers of
the banking committee acting as ad-
visers in the financial affairs of the
company.
Conferences between the officers of
the fur company and the banking
creditors will be continued, it was said
and some definite plan for the disposi-
tion of the company will be attempted
1t is limited that the New York bank
creditors of the concern are willing to
extend the acceptance credit If the
company will transfer its activities to
this city, while the st. Louis bankers
are anxious to retain the business for
their community.
According to a circular issued by the
company to it's stockholders on May
l3, the company's indebtedness to banks
was consolidated in the form of ninety
day acceptance credit of slightly in ex-
cess of $23 100000, which became oper-
ative on July 20, 1920. Subsequently
this agreement was renewed and then
extended, running down to yesterday.
The circular also mentioned subse-
quent loan of $2,000,000.
Officials of the company and the
bankers in the conference yesterday
were reticent about discussing what
had transpired at the meeting. Be
yond the fact that the company had
made no arrangement to meet it's ma
turing obligations, no definite state
ment was made. No reply was forth
coming to the query concerning the
ability of any creditor of the COM
pany to now force rcceivershp.
ST. LOUIS, June New York and
st. Louis banks have decided not to
extend the apparent S140O0,000 in
debtedness of the international Fur
Exchange, it was announced here to-
day.

Railroad Earnings
Show Gain i'm Net
Over Early Months
Gross in April Not Up to
Any Preceding Month,
Compilation of Reports
Indicates; Better Than 20

preliminary report covering April
operations, compiled by the Bureau Of
Railway Economics at Washington,
showed that III railroads of the coun-
try had total operating revenues of
1882, 400, 900, compared with s459. .262,-
$40 in March and S352,T06, 600 in April
1920. Although the April total did not
come up TO the gross for any preced
Ing month of the year, net was the
largest with the exception OF March
February and January showed net op
Grating deficits respectively of s7,s7s,-
307 and $95S,3C9. In March the net OPP
Grating income amounted to $50 .695, 1872.
The net operating income for April
was S27, ,566,000. against deficit for
the same month year ago of $21,-
100000. In the latter month, however.
the railroads were severely handi
capped by the outlaw switchmen's
strike, which greatly increased tl.eir
running expenses and other charges.
Considered by districts, the largest
percentage of increase in gross earn
ings was made in the East, with a gain
of 1853 per cent. In the South they in
creased per cent, and in the West IL
per cent. The total Increase in gross
was S.4 per cent. Operating expenses
for the number of roads reporting de-
creased Ga per cent, the April total be-
ing 1929, ,911 900. In the East the de-
crease amounted to z per cent, in the
South 1.2 per cent and in the West 81
per cent.
The increase in net railway operat-
ing income for April was equivalent to
230 per cent, the East reporting a gain
of 164 per cent, the South 32.6 per cent
and the West 364 per cent The better
showing in net, as has already been
pointed out in connection with the re-
ports of the individual roads, was due
partly to the curtailment Of expendi-
lures for maintenance.
The St. Louis-San Francisco earnings
and expenses in April, 1921, show no
striking change from the figures for
April, 1920. Some reduction was made
in maintenance charges.
The detailed analysis Of the Chicago,
Burlington G. Quincy became avail. BILE
yesterday and showed large gain in
net operating revenue, the greater part
of which is accounted for by the de-
crease made in maintenance charges,
although some saving was also made in
transportation expenses and larger
gross revenue helped

Commercial money continues in light

their efforts to reduce overhead ex-
penses.
Commercial paper rates yesterday
were firm at per cent for most paper,
quarter to half of / per cent less
for exceptionally high grade paper and
IA per cent for paper not so we'll

New York banks are taking slightly
more paper than they did few months

OF purchase and price paid has been lost.
How strong are they? Texas & New Or
leans Railroad consolidated SIS. due 1913;
West Kentucky Coal Company sinking
fund S. due 1856. "
Answer-The Booth Fisheries deben-
lures are, in our opinion, not so good
an investment as the rest OF your list,
and we would not advise holding them.
The business is highly speculative in
it's nature. Both coal company bonds
are good investments, in our opinion.
The first consolidated Is of the Denver
g. Rio Graade and prior lien A As OF
the St. Louis & San Francisco are
underlying bonds of weak roads. We be-
lieve that in the long run the principal
is safe. We would not recommend
them for purchase by one who was
nervous about investment The Domin-
ION of Canada 5s are high grade invest
nj ents.
