poses for the same periods, accord
ing to a tabulation prepared for the
General Assembly by State Tax Com
mission, which will be presented to
members of that body.
The State taxes collected in 1921

taxes for county purposes during
1921 than did the State, according to
the tabulation.
The State tax rate, under the tax
commission law was fixed at 40 cents
for all kinds of property exceut live
stock and bank deposits, which pay a
rate of 10 cents. The 1917 State
rate was SIS cents for all classes OF
property. The county rates in most
instances, according to the tabula.
ton, show increases ranging from I
to 60 cents on the 500 valuation
the most of the increases ranging
from 20 to 40 cents on the 500. In
Allen, Muhlenburg, Nicholas and
Robertson counties the rate has been
lowered since 1917, while Estill and
Fleming counties had the same rate
in 1921 that they had in 1917.

SALE OF TOBACCO GRATIFYING
TO POOL MEN.

The reported sale, at a satisfac-
tory price, CT large quantity of
pledged tobacco to manufacturers
cannot fail to be gratifying to those
growers in Bourbon county who
have Joined the pool The Co-opera-
tive Burley Association has in a
short time demonstrated that it can
market tobacco, which was it's an
nounced intention.
Much has been accomplished To
take up, organize, finance and put
into operation within a few months
a corporation with fifty thousand
stockholders, which will do a yearly
business of thirty or. forty millions,
is remarkable achievement. The
receipt of tobacco has gone on with
out hitch, redrying has been COM
menced, the grading has been care
full, and, on the whole, satisfactorily
done, and the cash advances have
been prompt. And already the
manufacturers have recognized the
economic value of the plan and have
purchased some of the crop.
| The new Burley movement has
been characterized by reasonable
ness. The leaders and the farmer.
themselves have gone on the as
sumption that the grower and thu
manufacturer have each their legiti
mate sphere, and that they can worl
in harmony together. 1t is to b.
doubted that the auction sales sys

enter high school in the fall. Like
many other fourteen year old boys,
he had his future carefully planned
and it was rosy one. He would pre-
pare himself for college, he thought,
take course in engineering and in
a few years be building bridges in
South America or China. 1t would
be very lonely for his father who
was widower and had no other
children; but Isadore decided that he
would soon earn enough to take a
real vacation and "show father a good
time" Then his father would give
up his position in the factory and
the two would take a trip around
the world, having no end of adven-
lures, from shooting lions in Africa
to fighting pirates on the South Seas.
He did not tell all these ambitions
to his quiet, hard-working father, for,
although the two were more like
brothers than father and son, Isa-
dore was trifie afraid Mr.. Bergman
might laugh at his extravagant plans,
and contented himself with limiting
of "a rest and good times for you,
dad, when I'm through college,"
But Isadore never even entered
high school. His father was severely
injured while working at his mach
inc; there were hospital and doctor
bills which seemed to devour the
little sum in the savings bank; and,
toward the end of the summer, Isa-
dore found himself with bedridden
father to support-providing he could
find work.
It was not easy for the boy fresh
from grammar school to find posi-
ton. He was too, young for one
thing and had no business experience.
Besides there seemed to be dozen
boys for every vacancy. Again and
again Isadore would hurry from one
end of the city to the other in answer
to an advertisement in the Help
Wanted" column to be met with the
same discouraging information: "The
position is filed" 1t was hard enough
to hunt a situation all day; it was
harder still to go home at night and
chat cheerfully with his father as he
prepared his supper and cleaned the
two poor rooms to which they had
moved after their misfortune. "But
I'll get something worth while tomor-
row., see if I DON'T" Isadore never
failed to end cheerfully, while his
father would always answer with the
same n6arC1n6SS. i III sure you IL get
just the sort of position you're look
ing for, son!"
But when Isadore finally found
situation, it was about the last one
he would have chosen for himself.
Under the most favorable circum-
stances it would have been very hard
for the boy to give up his plans for
study and all the delightful activities
of high school life to work eight hours
day in the stuffy basement Of Bart
on's department store. He would
have found the business discipline
irksome enough, to say nothing OF his
loneliness for his old schoolmates,
many of whom intended to enter high
school in the fall; but what irritated
him more than the long hours and
the uncongenial atmosphere was the
attitude of Mike Dorian, the super
intendent.
"I hate him." Isadore told his faith.

He stopped on the other side of the
counter looking, over the boy with
sharp questioning eyes. "Why did you
come down to work this morning?"
he asked at last
Isadore did not answer Flushing
guiltily he stood silent, his fingers
tearing nervously at the feathers of
his duster.
II heard it was a Jew-holiday..
Dorian continued after a moment. a
rather unpleasant smile about his
heavy mouth. Funny you didn't
have to stay home-funny your father
doesn't need you again."
All the resentment of the hard, Bit
ter weeks forced Isadore to speak, no
matter what it might cost him. "My
father does need me-" he said hotly.
HE needs every dollar I can earn
for him. That's why I have listened
to your nagging-and your jokes
about my religion. And that's why
I'm working on Yom Kippur and lying
to him about it, too. My father needs
my salary and didn't want to lose
my job"
Who said you'd lose your job?"
Aren't you always picking on me
for being a Jew? Wouldn't you fire
me if I stayed out to keep a Jewish
holiday? When I stayed out the last
time you said
Sure" Dorian nodded emphatical-
ly, humping the counter with his
broad fist. 'T wanted to make you
feel small and I guess I did it all
right. Don't you suppose I knew it
was Jewist feast of something, with
my best nelghbOr, Mr.. Rosenberg, on
the floor above, getting yom TOW
clothes, as he calls 'em, for his wife
and kids and taking them to church!
And I had my opinion Of you when
you came and lied to me like that
and I felt like firing you on the spot.
But I knew how hard up your dad
was and didn't like to turn you out,
though you've been making me pretty
sore with that long face of yours.
But what do you mean anyhow" he
demanded with sudden anger, "by
saying that I got it in for Jews, when
Abe Rosenberg and I are like broth
ers, and Dave Goodman, my best
friend since I came to America, is a
Jew, tool"
Isadore faltered. "But you called me
careless Jew and"
Gail right. Next time I'll call you
careless Chinaman, if you're that
touchy. So that's why you've been
making face every time spoke to
you. Suppose I'm not quite polite
enough eh? Well, any of the fellows
around here'll tell you it's just Mike
Dorian's way. And I will say you're
getting to be good worker, only
why did you go and lie to me like
that last week about staying home?
Ashamed of your religion?"
"No, sir. But just couldn't bear
to have you laughing at 1t and I
thought"
"The trouble was you didn't think"
Dorian grasped Isadore by the should
ers and swung him around toward the
locker rooms. "Hand me your duster,"
he commanded, "and put on your hat
and go off and pray for me and your
dad" He began to flap vigorously
along the shelves. "Well, and what
are you waiting for now?"
Tim afraid I've not been fair to
you," Isadore stammered, ''but didn't.

heavy mouth. He looked sharply at
Isadore, but the boys eyes were turn
ed away and he did not catch the
managers keen look of disappoint-
ment, or was it disgust? Dorian was
silent for moment; when he spoke
his voice was louder and harsher
than ever. You'd better decide pret-
ty soon whether you're going to work
for me or play nurse to your father"
he almost shouted. "I'm not going to
dock you this time, but the next
time you want to take day off, you'll
have to hunt better excuse"
He clustered off, leaving Isadore to
stare after him, hating him more than
ever. The boy brooded over the in
cident in sullen silence, for he did
not mention the matter at home, real
izing that it was useless to worry
his father. And now as Yom Kippur
drew near, he grew more worried and
uncertain for he realized bitterly how
impossible it would be to explain mat
ters to Dorian, to ask permission to
remain away from work on that day.
He laughed grimly at the thought;
Dorian, the Jew-hater, giving him, a
day off to observe Jewish holiday!
He'd likely not only "dock" him but
tell him to leave at the end of the
week. Isadore felt little sick at
the thought. He knew only too we'll
that work for young boy was any
thing but plentiful; he knew, too, that
he could not afford to lose even a
weeks wages while hunting for an
other position
"I'm sorry that I can't go to
schul with you this year, Isadore,"
said his father few days before Yom
Kippur. ut will be the first time
you've had to go alone to the Kol
Nidre service"
Isadore shifted uneasily in his chair.
He had washed the supper dishes and
now sat with his elbows leaning on
the table, staring gloomily at the car
pet. 'I'll go to the Kol Nidre as long
as it's at night" he stammered, "but
I don't see how I can get away all
day Thursday"
"But the other Jewish boys in your
Department."
"There aren't any, And I bet old
Dorian wouldn't let them off, anyhow.
He hates us Jews, the old slave-driv-
er; and I hate him." he ended fiercely.
"Isadore!" Mr.. Bergman's voice
had grown unusually stern. "It
wont do you much good to go to schul
on Yom Kippur to fast and pray for
forgiveness for yourself, if you hate
your enemy-or anyone you are bound
to make your enemy. And, of course,
you will stay away from work on
Yom Kippur. I'll be sorry if they
dock you for the day, for we can't
afford to lose penny, but it can't
be helped" And Isadore realized that
so far as his father was concerned,
the matter was settled. All night he
tossed in his bed and thumped his
pillow; by morning he had made his
decision and was no longer excited
and disturbed.
1t was hard for Isadore to sit
through the Kol Nidre. services for
his muscles ached from his long days
work and he felt even more uncom-
Portable in mind than in body. He
felt hypocrite as he turned the
pages Of his prayer book; what was
the use of attending Jewish services
and reciting Hebrew prayers, when
only few days before he had lied
to Dorian, ashamed to confess that
he cared enough for his religion to
observe the holy days Of his people!

because he didn't like me; but it

he'd have to change his opinion of
our people, even if he didn't like Jews.
Though you may imagine he's preiu-
diced, I've known great many Jews
who were so thin-skinned that they
always expected to be insulted on ac-
count of their religion. And usually
they weren't disappointed! Just stop
going around nursing grudge, Isa-
dore, and you'll not have any trouble
with your manager"
Isadore remained unconvinced. He
felt that his father knew nothing of
the situation, that if he did, he would
not blame him for being thoroughly
miserable. Disappointed and discour-
aged, Isadore was inclined to be un-
usually sensitive and critical. He
even hated the other boys in his de-
partment, most of them were older
and so much more experienced in
business that they could not resist
teasing him for what they called his
''greenness.' But most of all he hated
Michael Dorian, the burly, loud-voiced
Irishman, who beloved orders
through the long hot August days
and seemed to direct his harshest
criticisms at Isadore's aching head.
"You careless young Jew, you!"
Dorian had roared at Isadore during
the first week when the boy had
carefully stacked a huge pile of boxes
on the wrong shelf "Why can't you
show some sense?" He had passed on
raging, while several of Isadore's fell
low-workers giggled softly. Isadore
turned scarlet and longed to answer
him, only restrained by the thought
that his father depended upon the
meager salary Barton paid him and
he had to keep his place. But the
words ranked for he felt that his
religion had been ridiculed and any
reproof or criticism that came from
Dorian seemed to -Isadore to come
from a Jew-hater and struck him as
entirely unjust.
Rosh Hashonah came and Isa-
dore who had never attended
school on Jewish holid avs,
stayed home from the store,
taking it for granted that Mr.. Dorian
would understand why he was absent
But when he returned to work, he
was disagreeably surprised to have
the manager greet him sharply:
"Well, are you ready to quit loafing
and settle down on the job?"
"I wasn't loafing and I had to stay
home," Isadore answered, rather curt
ly.
Suppose you had to go to your
grandmother's funeral-with a ball
game afterward," chuckled Dorian
with a wink at several of the older
clerks who grinned dutifully at their
superior's ancient joke.
Isadore's cheeks burned. He had
often heard Dorian joking in his loud
coarse manner with the other boys
and they hadn't seemed to mind; but
just then he felt he could not endure
hearing this man make sport Of his
