ASSESSMENT OF KEN
TUCKY COAL LANDS

Frankfort, Ky. Feb. 13.-Therc were
27S2,024 acres of mineral lands, held in
fee or by lease, in Kentucky in 1919
and 1t was assessed at 1887, $50. Last
year there were 3,4l7,955 acres, ASSESS
ed at $l5,37S,163. ..'..
The coal is assessed only while ii is
in the ground, never after II is taken
out and so, while the amount in the
ground is diminishing at the rate of
some 100000 tons annual produc-
ton, the acreage seems to be var
liable quantity from year to year, not
withstanding the time required for the
chemical processes to form the coal
beds. No distinction Is made in the
acreage between coal, rock asphalt
liourspar and the other native miner.

1t Is all assessed IN the ground like
agricultural land and the methods of
assessing mineral and agricultural
lands are so much alike that the re-
suits seem TO be the same in dollars
and cents. i'll -. =. e.. d. ....
Even in rocky, barren mountain
counties, where agriculture is a pre-
carious means of livelihood, the aver
age assessment OF mineral lands does
not exceed, where it equals, the aver

THAT DELAWARE COLLEGE is splendid institu-
ton, doing excellent work for the students there
gainsay That is should grow and enlarge it's
fness there is to dispute The State of Delaware
has much to be proud for in contemplation of Delaware
College We have intention to beittle any of its spen
efforts educate the boys and girls of Delaware Real
zng this and admitting the great needs for maintaining
Delaware College for both the and boys of
state is the plain fact that the cost of maintaining
Delaware College must not be permitted to become mill
stone around the neck of public schools by deprivng
them of state aid We believe that the public schools
Delaware must be considered first before any other plans
to be made for higher education in Delaware Every
boy and girl in Delaware is entitled to the opportunity
get real high school education in the public schools of
this state When this has been accomplished the parent
must the responsibility college education or
the personal effort of the children by working their way
thru can be arranged for There is reason why the
charges for mantanance of students college should not
be sesustainng The state has provided literally as to
buildings and their support. To load college education
as well as public school education upon state is
ershootng the mark. If Delaware can afford to main
tain college free for her and daughters that is
than other state that know doing Lets
know what doing before jumping the fence
The bills have got to be paid in the only good
business to face the situation sQuarely now

THE OVERWHELMING VOTE cast by the tax payers
of Smyrna and CaymOnt in favor of issuing bonds build
needed school buildings in the towns above mentioned
shows that the people who pay the willing
sue bonds which will bring about modern school property
with facilities for the children to get modern educaons
Milford is facing the situation in her inability
to seat the children in and waiting to enter her high
school, We have seats for only hundred twenty
with hundred and forty children entitled to seats in
the school, We have three in in the public
schools which have been loaned without charge
any kind to the Milford Public Schools accommodate
the children in the lower grades Milford must do what
Smyrna, Clayton Laurel and Lewes have already DONE
vote to issue the bonds from which to build modern high
school property The present buildings be remodeed
and made capable of doing the school work for the pr
mary and grammar school grades for many years
Milford must ask for aid from the du Pont Fund the
the other towns have DONE and then proceed to get the
land and buildings needed for the high school, It will
not without making efort-and is the time to
make that effort Milford has got to have high school
and ten of land for it to occupy and is the time
to go after it,

IN MEMoRIAM

In loving remembrance of my. dear
husband, B. Thomas Pettyjohn, who de-
parted this life, February 6, 1917:
Four long years have passed away since
you left me
How long to see you
The time has been so long, the place
were you lay
Is the dearest spot on earth to me.
I'll soon be there beside you
There to rest free from care and sorrow
You do not know the many long, lonely
and sad hours we spent
But we will soon meet again
When we will never part, never say good
bye
But live together forever with the Re-
deemer
Never to say good by.
Sadly missed by his wife, Maggie F.
Pettyjohn. II
