rad Large Sum on Hand.

History relates that Croesus wa=
given entertainment on one occasion
by Lydian named Pythius supposed
to have been a distant relative Of
Croesus. During the entertainment
Pythius informed the king that when
he heard of his approach he had made
careful count of all his ready money
that he had on hand in gold and sill
yer, $24,o0O,0oo, and that he wished
to present it to the king as token
of regard.
The king hesitated about taking his
money lest Pythius might be reduced
to want, but Pythius replied: MY
lands, estates, slaves and income-bear-
ing property are still untouched"
This sum of money was simply cash
on hand which he had not yet invest
ed. At the rate Of 10 to in modern
purchasing power, Pythius had ready
money equaling $240,O0O,OO0.

Saving Screw Shavings.

Two thousand years seems long
time to wait for al improvement, but
this has been the case with the screw.
Metal screws have been made since
236 B. G. The shank Of the screw has
been turned from bar Of metal hay-
ing the diameter of the screw head.
thus wasting a large proportion Of the
metal by reducing it to shavings.
A certain screw manufacturer has
decided to alter this. A metal bar, OF
the diameter of the shank, is put into
a matrix and subjected to enormous
pressure. The head Of the screw IS
thus expanded in the confined COM
partment, which gives it the desired
shape The only waste occurs In
threading the screw and finishing the
head.

BRITISH YIELD
TO IRISH, BUT
BAR SECESSION
New Conference Is Sought BY Lloyd
George with Head Of Irish Repub.
ucans But Is Is Clearly Stated
That Empire Must BE Intact.

London, Sept. s. - The British Cab
met has invited Eamonn de Valera,
Irish Republican leader to send dele
gates to a conference with the Cabinet
Ministers at Inverness September 20,
according to the Daily Mails Inver-
ness correspondent, who adds
only one condition is imposed -
namely, the understanding that Ire
land must remain within the empire. u
The communication to Mr.. de Val
era, according to this dispatch, asks
for an early reply and points out the
apparent uselesness of conducting
negotiations by further exchange OF
notes.
In order to allay any fears regarding
Ulster the decision that Northern Ire.
land must not in any circumstances be
coerced was reaffirmed by the Min.
isters.
Dealing with the Cabinet meeting
the Daily Mail says:
"The Premier told the Ministers tha
he regarded the situation as grave ant
critical and he was convinced that ;
further interchange of notes was use
less.
"One Minister, who had been in per
sonal contact with Sim Fein opinion
said he was informed that 1t was thu
real intention of its leaders to secure
plebiscite of the Irish people aftel

KENTUCKY COMES
TO THE FRONT IN
SOUTH'S FARMING
Increases Number Of County Agents,
Rapid Development In Junior Club
Work, and Experiment Station
Program Promoted.

Kentucky has made more rapid
progress during the past year in farm
extension work than any other of the
fifteen Southern states, according to
statement issued by Thomas P. Cooper,
dean Of the College Of Agriculture,
University Of Kentucky and director
Of the extension work in the state.
The most rapid development has
been recorded in junior agricultural
club work, 400 per cent increase
having been made in this form of work
during the year. This was by far the
greatest growth made by any Of the
Southern states, Dean cooper said.
In addition, the state was the only
one of the Southern group to maintain
the status Of her county agent work,
an increase of more than one-third in
the number of. agents employed having
been made. A slight increase also was
made in the number of home demon
stration agents employed to carry on
extension work with farm women Of
the state. Most Of the states have lost
ground in this form of work, according
to information received by the dean.
by reason of the condition Of farm
business in general and the well-plan-
ned program which Kentucky's coun-
ty agents are mapping out for their re-
spective districts, these agents are
more valuable than ever before to
farmers of the state" Dean Cooper
said. practically any farmer can
make money in prosperous times,
whereas systematic program is
necessary in times such as Kentucky
farmers are now experiencing. 1t is
the continuous doing of the little
things that will build up the agricul-
tural status Of the state"
Kentucky farmers also are using the
representatives sent out from the ex-
pertinent station to good advantage,
according to the statement the demand
for these workers being so great that
all requests cannot be filled. Because
Of the growth of this phase Of the work
and the steady demand for specialists
in different lines Of farm work, 1t is
necessary to route them through a
separate office in order to fill the most
urgent demands, the dean said.
