Today, February 14th, at elev-
en- o'clock, is the time set to take
up the $50, 100000 road PROPOSE
ton at Frankfort. We do not
know how the Representatives
stand on the proposition, but in
our judgment the man who
framed the bill set his hoe to Dig
ging. The people of Kentucky
want good roads. and the State
badly needs..them, but a $50, ,000,-
600 proposition.the first dash out
of the box will drive the farmers
from its support. Furthermore
the men who are now 21 years
old would be:Idead before the
bonds are redeemed. The people
of this county are for good roads,
but we haven OF heard a voter say
be would support a $50, 900, 900

GUARANTY FUND.

While the majority of business
mems. associations may rarely
attempt to lend financial assist
ance to new industries, there
are some that follow a very en-
terprising course in this matter,
and have succeeded in securing
such enterprises in this way.
Louisville, Kentucky, has such
a plan, having secured subscrip-
tions to a fund of 81, 100000
guaranteeing industrial develop
ment projects. through the
Louisville Industrial foundation.
Since the forming of this organ
ization, Al industrial plants have
been started in Louisville.
through the. direct efforts of the
foundation. Of the industries
thus started in the city, the
foundation invested funds in 10
of them, and has purchased pre-
ferred stock in four local con-
Germs. The business men who
have madegup this fund regard
ed it in the light of community
advertising, and they believe it
has paid.
The Easton, Pennsylvania
Board of Trade have a guaranty
fund of $85O,OOO which they
have used to lend money on new
factory buildings and for similar
purposes. Their fund has been
so well handled that they have
never lest a dollar on it.
The Scranton, Penna. Board of
Trade has a $100, 900 fund used
for assisting new industries, and
it has helped them add some
very important ones. Such in
stance show that enterprising
to assist new indus
tries can succeed if handled
with sound business judgment.
The general tendency of opin- I
ion among business mems organ
izations, however, is that loan
ing money to new industries is a
banking proposition and that a
concern with good prospects can
usually secure capital through
banks. The citizens of Ashland
IAN promote such movements of
Industrial expansion, by deposit
ng money in his home banks, so
hat they shall have adequate
funds with which local enter
orises can be encouraged. Ash

ssFOOD FOR FAMILY FIRST

Raleigh, Feb. 23.-State Superln-
tendent E. C. Brooks has written the
following letter to all county and city
school superintendents in the state
urging support of the ''Food for the
Family First Campaign:
FOLLOWING the suggestion OF the
Governor in his proclamation with
reference to GOOD for the Fam
ily First Campaign, representatives
of the College of Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, State Board of Health
and State Department of Education
met and organized central COM
mittee for the purpose of putting in
to effect the provisions OF the
proclamation. The committee Is
suggesting a County Campaign Com
mittee, including the Superintendent
of Schools, to have charge of the
work in each county.
''I am asking you to utilize the
schools of your county to call atten-
tion, in a very definite way, to the
urgent necessity of growing more
garden vegetables, poultry, milk and
butter, and pork, for home con-
sumption. We must stress the fact
that the purpose of the campaign is
to produce these articles for home
consumption-that our people may
have a more wholesome diet and
may live more cheaply by producing
these necessities upon the home
farm.
Educational Publication No. 81,
"A Manual for teaching of Agricul-
ture' gives a number of special les
sons with references on Gardening
and Hog Raising. These may be Sc
cured from the Office of the State
supplemented by bulletin on Poultry
tion. These lessons should be Sc
1ected and made the basis Of your
campaign in the schools this spring,
supplemented bu bulletin ON Poultry
and Milk and Butter~which you may
secure from the Agricultural Editor,
Extension Service, Raleigh, N. c.
These bulletins should be preserved
by the teachers for future use.
a. Let me urge you through your
schools to stress the all year round
home garden. Ask your teachers to
tgach these subjects as part Of the
course of study. Have them organ
tze garden clubs among the chill
dren; through them the parents may
be induced to grow more vegetables
to provide a more varied diet. There
Is no doubt that health and mental
vigor are produced by proper food.
ST am requesting the educationa
forces to cooperate in putting ovel
this campaign. We shall have to ac
quickly to get results. Therefore, i
would be wise to the teachers ant
the public at the earliest teacher
meeting and through circular let
ters."
