NO POOR FARM
IS WANTED in
PINELLAS COUNTY
Argument Made That None Is
Needed, and Relief Should
Be Given At Home

Clearwater Sept. 10. -Revival in
some quarters of agitation for a coun-
ty poor farm for Pinellas county has
brought forth vigorous protest from
Mrs. Sarah Cotton Smith. county pro-
baton officer. She takes the occasion
OF her monthly report for August to
assert that no such public charge is
needed and that the establishment of
poor farm would prove inviting to
persons in other parts of the country
who might take advantage of Pinellas
countys benevolence to spend their
declining days in congenial climate.
There may come a time in the de-
velopment of Pinellas county when a
poor farm will be a necessity" she
says, but for the present such an
institution would only be a standing
invitation to the aged dependents in
colder climates to come here to spend
their last days"
Reviewing the welfare work now
carried on in the county, Mrs. Smith
adds:
1.-The strength of a nation lies large
ly in its homes, and poverty alone is
never reason for breaking up
home. Child welfare workers are
agreed that even poor home is
better place to rear child than the
best of institutions, and many states
have laws forbidding caring for chill
dren in poor houses. We have eight
names on our relief list each of whom
have one or more children, and it
would be nothing short of a crime to
compel any one of these people to
break home ties and enter an institu-
ton. Be it ever so humble there's
no place like home especially to the
aged. and it would be most cruel
and much more expensive-to compel
our nine aged people to exchange
their humble firesides for a poor
farm"

Mayfleld, Ky, June 27. - The bod
les OF five adults and six children were
found In the ruins Of the home Of
Earnest Lawrence, farmer, living
about seven miles from here, which
was destroyed by fire Saturday mid
night. There were indications that the
dead may have been the victims OF
foul play, and at Coroners inquest
held here Sunday a noncommittal
verdict was returned.
The dead are Earnest Lawrence, 35,
and wife, rs, and three children rang
ing in age from years to II months;
Otis Drew, 2S, and wife, %, and three

Lee Price Is again in jail having

wounds inflicted by her husband, who
also escaped with the party from the
