Julian Corner
Suffers Fire Loss

The Julian building, located on the
corner of Main and Maysville streets
was the scene of another disastrous
fire Saturday night, when blaze was
discovered in rooms upstairs occu-
pied by Stockton's Electric Dry
Cleaning Co. Before the blaze could
be extinguished the dry cleaning
plant was practically a total loss,
as were all the clothes belonging to
various parties which had been sent
to the establishment. Stockton's
loss is estimated at $4,000, only
about half covered by insurance.
Below the dry cleaning company the
clothing store of Hombs & Co. suf-
fered heavily from smoke and water,
but they were fortunate enough to
be fully covered by insurance. Their
loss will probably be more than fifty
per cent on the entire stock.
The building, which is owned by
Mrs. 7. G. Julian, Of Lexington, and
who is now in Clearwater, Fla, was
badly damaged and, it is undes-
stood, only $1,000 insurance was
carried on the building. Stockton's
Electric Dry Cleaning Co.. owned and
operated by E. W. Stockton, will
move their quarters to the VIM. 8.
Lloyd building on Maysville street,
while the Hombs Company has
moved to the Old National Hotel
building. Origin of the fire is UNI
known, but is thought to have caught
from Defective wiring.

Local Wool Pool
Sold at Good Price

One hundred and twenty thousand
pounds of wool, representing a two
years clip, which had been pooled,
was sold by Montgomery county
farmers last week to Marcus & Her
keheimer, of Baltimore, at 25 IL
cents per pound. In addition to the
above amount $4,000 pounds were
purchased from other Kentucky
counties at the same prices.
This will put money in the hands
of many of our farmers when it is
so badly needed and seems to have
justified the holding of last years
crop.

DEPENDS ON THE BANK
League Projects Win Fall IL Bank
Does


The committee headed by J. r.
Burton which went to North Dakota
to investigate the Partisan
League gave report of % closely
typewriter pages Saturday, enough
to I'LL this paper about three times.
Mr.. Burton declared that the Bank
of North Dakota Is the one big thing
on which the life Of the organization
hinges. If the bank is a success, he
said, the Non Partisan League would
be a success, but Its success depends
upon whether or not 1t will be forced
to hquidate. II 1t proves success,
he declared, 1t would no doubt revo-
ultionize banking business all over
the country.
Aside from the state owned indus
tries, which are exAetly like the
state owned printing plant Of Kan
sas, there Is no more socialism
among the rank and file Of the
league in North Dakota, then there
is among the Republican party in
Kansas, says the report.
Financial conditions are bad and
unless the Bank Of North Dakota can
hold up and get the money toI
finance the various politically man
aged enterprises Of the league the en-
tire scheme Of the N. P. L. will col |
lapse.

ASSESSORS ARE AT work
Army Of 1000 Will Get Value o
Propefty In Kansas

An army OF assessors numbering
approximately 1000 today begai
the annual valuation Of property TO
taxation. Personal property only
will be assessed this year. Rea
estate is assessed one year In four
The law requires that the task bs
completed by May I.
Farm product valuations undoubt'
edly will show a large slump from
the 1920 returns, according to Sam
uel T. Howe. chairman Of the State
Tax Commission. However, this will
be offset to a certain extent by the
additional quantities Of wheat and
other products on hand, unmarketed
this year.
For several weeks, representatives
Of the tax commission have been
holding schools Of instruction for de-
putty assessors at county seats IN
various parts Of the state. The COM
mission has also furnished a pamph-
let Of advice and instructions to as
SCISSORS SO that uniform methods may
be used throughout the state In deal
ing with similar problems.
II an owner fails to list property
for taxation and It is discovered by
the county clerk. the law requires
that a penalty Of 50)per cent OF the
tax be exacted. H|the commission
is not discovered until next assess
ment year, the penalty is 100 per
cent. Fines and jail sentences are
also provided for false returns.
The total assessed value Of prop
erty in Kansas in 1920 was $780,
514.914, as compared to $425,281,-
214 in 1907 when the commission
was organized. Personal property
valuation in 1920 totaled $1.477,-
524,12O, about one-third Of which
was owned by public service corpor-
atoms.
Taxes levied in 1920 totaled $685.

this amount, however. was for state
taxes. The balance was for county.

by the Tax Commission in August Of
each year. The assessed property
valuation is then known, as well as

Edna Flanagan, for January and Feb
ruary shows total Of SO cases under
her care during the two months,
OF these 20 have been dismissed.
During February Miss Flanagan
made 124 nursing visits and in jan
uary $50. The number OF visits to
schools during the two months was
4S and of visits to school children
81. There were 316 visits made to
the Red Cross Office during January
and February and the total number
Of visits covering all work done In
the two months was $40.
There were eight new babies en-
rolled in the rest room In January
and February and 1913 babies enroll
ed at stations. There were 80 pres
ent school age children enrolled. The
Red Cross Office and rest rooms are
open every day in the week except
Sunday. The rest room and office is
for the use Of the public and for the
convenience Of mothers and children.
The scales are for the use Of every
one and free literature is for distri-
button.
The index of children's health is
the scale and measuring rod and
all babies should be weighed at least
every month or three weeks, Miss
Flanagan says. People are welcome
to the Red Cross scales and record
will be kept of the weights.
Many school children take advan-
tage of the scales and 60 In to be
weighed and the nurse hopes that
many more will come through the
summer months.
Out Of 2,244 school children
weighed and measured since October,
1920, % per cent were found to be
Z per cent or more underweight and
only As pupils 20 per cent or more
overweight. A child is considered
normal weight that weighs less than
z per cent under what he should
weigh or less than 20 per cent over
what he should weigh.
: Proper nutrition and healthy chill
dren must be considered together, |
says Miss Flanagan. Faulty diet is
often the cause of underweight chill
dren. The results being obtained
by nutrition classes over the country
are surprising. Children are always
welcome to the Red Cross rooms.
