EARLY HOME OF
DANIEL BOONE
FALLING To RUIN
Stone House Where Kentucky PiO-
neer Was Born in Pennsylvana
1872 Years Old.

Reading, Pa, March 15.-Deter-
iorated by the elements it has with
stood for 1872 years, the stone house
in the foothills of Exeter town.
ship, Berks county, where Daniel
Boone, the Kentucky pioneer, was
born, is slowly falling to ruin from
lack of care. Until two years ago
the house had been tenanted and
the necessary repairs made but now
it is deserted, the cellar full of
water, windows broken. floors de-
caying and the $50 acres of estate
are uncared for.
The farm is situated about one
and a half mile from Stonersville.
The lane leading to the premises
is marked by large white rock
placed by the Historical society Of
Berks county, on which is the in
script.on: "One-quarter mile to the
birthplace of Daniel Boone, Oct. q,
1881
In this connection it may be
said that some authorities give the
date of his birth as 1874 and 1875,
and his birthplace Berks county,
Pennsylvania.
According to history Boone
stayed here until he was II years
of age, when he went to Kentucky.
Tradition has it that it was nearby
that he killed his first bear when he
was IA years old, and he was so
proud of his achievement that he
carved an inscription on tree
with his hunting knife, reading:
L.
House Enlarged.
The house has four rooms on the
first floor, six on the second and
an attic. The original Boone dwell!
ing had two rooms on the first
floor and three on the second, but
an addition similar to the original
in every respect was made after the
family migrated.
One of the original rooms con-
tains a large fireplace made of
stones and still in good condition
Here it was on the mantel piece
according to tradition, that young
Boone carved a notch indicating
~ h-t5Shnt when he went to Ken
lucky, and upon his return in mid
die age was interested to see how
much he had grown. However, the
historic notch cannot be discovered
on the mantlepiece.
The shutters and doors of the
dwelling are hung on wrought iron
hinges and still are in good con-
dition, but many of the windows are
broken, permitting rain and snow
to enter and causing the floor 20
decay.
Efforts have been made to have
the state purchase the house where
the pioneer was born, and still more
recently. there have been reports
that the Historical society of Clarke
bounty, Ky. has interested itself
in the possible purchase of the farm,
for historical purposes. The farlr
is valued ut $4,000 according Ii
late estimates.

NONFEDERAL RESERVE
ATTITUDE ATTACKED
IRy Associated Press

WASNJNGTOS. Dec. 25.-The prac-
tice OF some banks in advertising that
they arc neither members of the Fed

cizcd as injurious to the public In
tcrcsts by Eugene Meyer. managing
director of the war Finance Corpora
ton, In letter TO j. II. Puiicher.
president OF the American Bankers
Association.
Mr.. Meyer urged in the letter.
which was made public tonight, that
the bankers' association take prompt
steps with a view TO stopping the
practice.
such banks" the letter said. "are
by no means in all cases the strong
est banks, although they seek TO in
crease their standing and reputation
by such statements. 1t is even more
true that such banks are by no means
the banks which are serving the best
interests OF the people of their terri
tory Especially is this true In the
agriculture districts.
such statements as / refer to tend
TO impair and diminish the usefulness
of the Federal reserve system. cs-
tablished by the people OF the United
states TO serve as an elastic banking
and currency system for the bene-
mt OF all the people. 1t would appear
that the American Bankers Associa-
ton should take prompt action with
view to stopping the practice OF

illitcracy of these aces being colorcd
and 3I.3 per cent white.
The obvious conclusion to be
drawn from tho evident. economic
Ioss duo TO ill!teracy Is the strict
statewide enforcement OF the com
pulsory attendance law. the further
extension OF vacation schools for
both adults and children, and the
equalization of educational oppor-
tunities for all the children OF the
Commonwealth
IF the preponderaucc of illitcracy
In the rural sections Of the State is
to be eliminated, the children of this
section must he provided with cdu-
cational opportunities equal in
character and length Of term to those
provided for city children.
"illiteracy cannot be ignored. Ii

two generations for it's elimination

progress and with this as basis
even more can he brought TO pass
