GOV. ALLEN TO FIGHT KANSAS
 uLITERACY

KANSAS CITY. Kan. Dec. 18.- Now that the time is nearing when he will loosen his hold upon the ex- ecutive reins of the "Sunflower" State, Governor Henry J. Allen has started drive which he hopes will ultimately stamp illiteracy entirely from the state. Not that Kansas's percentage of illiteracy Is necessarily high-in fact, recent census re- vealed that it is only 1.6, compared with one other state which, the census showed, has percentage of 21.9.
 Governor Allen pointed out that the near future will see laws enact ed by the State Legislature which will provide for a wider dissemina- ton of knowledge in the remote country districts-the towns, ham, lets and villages which are more or less segregated from the big indus trial centers.
 Statistics compiled recently dis closed that out of a total of more than 22,O00 illiterate persons in Kansas above the age of ten nearly 21 ,0O0 were those of voting age. It was further revealed that of these illiterates 10,450 were of foreign par entage, and more than 4,000 are negroes.
 Native sons and daughters of Kan sas point with pride to the fact that in the last twelve years there has been a decrease of 6 per cent in il literacy in their state. while census l figures from several other states for that period indicate slight in crease in ignorance.
 | During the World War, when men were inducted into the military ser vice of the nation, the various tests to determine and sift out the Hitter ates revealed some significant fig ures as to the number of men | even able to read or write their own names, according to Governor Allen These tests revealed that 75 per cent of Americas "f1ower of manhood
 were among the mediocre intelll gent, while nearly 25 per cent failed to pass the simplest tests and were
 classified as illiterates.
 The Governor expressed himself as hopeful that his efforts to increase the intelligence of Kansas's future men and women would have the sup
 port of those who succeed him 1T office and that they would carry I on" the battle to such an extent thai Kansas will within the next few 1 years be an exemplary state-a pat tern of better education"

INCOME TAX FACTS

Changes in the revenue law are
of material benefit to the average
family man. Under the revenue
act of 1921 a married person, liv-
ing with wife or husband, whose
net income for 1921 was $4,000 or
less, is allowed personal exemp.
ton of $4,000. Under the revenue,
act of 1918 the exemption allowed
married person was $4,000, re-
gardless of the amount of net in
come.
The normal tax rate Is the same,
4per cent on the first $4,000 of net
income above the exemptions, and
s per cent on the remaining net in
come. Given his personal exemp-
tion Of $4,000. plus $500 for each
dependent. a married man with
three children-the average Ameri-
can family-will pay this year on
net income of $4,000 a tax Of sic.
On the same income for 1921 he
would have paid tax OF $50.
Every citizen and resident of the
United States must determine for
himself whether his income for
1921 wars sufficient to require that
return be fled. Full instructions
for making out return are con-
tained on the forms. copy OF
which will be sent to taxpayers who
filed a return last year. Failure to
receive a return. however. does not
relieve taxpayer OF his obligation
TO file a return on time. ON or be-
fore March 10, 1922. Forms may
be obtained from collectors Of in
ternal revenue and branch Offices.

one example of the many which We

Let me now appeal to you and all
the readers of our county paper to
use all the influence possible to OBJ

Why not every influential citizen

Is 1t not for the good OF every
citizen in our Commonwealth as

The board of health of New YOrl
city has recently made a special stud,
Of the feet of the children in one NJ

obtaining some idea of the prevalence,
Of pedal defects among young boy;
and girls.
Tie examinations, made by a.thG
pedlc surgeons, appeared to show tina
such defects are much cnmmonci tina
has been supposed. The number q
children examined was 800, Seven pc

Ii per cent of the girls had FLAT foot
Forty-seven per cent OF the boys q
"A per cent Of the girls had "wca

Of the boys and 20 per cent OF til
girls revealed cOrns or other excre
cences. Twenty-one per cent OF H.
boys and 2 per cent of the girl
walked with their toes turned In.
Most Of these troubles were OF
character admitting of correction anj
cure, with proper treatment. If neg
lected, said the surgeons, some o.
them might cripple and impair the
efficiency Of the children affected.
The surgeons recommended that al
growing children be examined for
such defects and that those affected
be watched and treated, in order tina
later In life they may be "foot-sound."

Gentlemen In behalf OF the

OF the Commonwealth of Kentucky
and as a personal favor to me, an.
asking you to publish this appeal to

The University of Kentucky is
asking the present General Assem-

million dollars to be used in ex-
panding the University so as to
bring it up to the standard of other
State institutions. At present we
are forty-second in rank of forty
eight states In. the Union in educa-
ton. Do we want to continue to
stay in this low place and even go
lower or do what is our duty as
citizens and what is best for the
generations to come and use our in
fuence in getting the State Legis-
iature to appropriate such sum.
as is needed to continue the educa-
tional work of our state?
Ohio County now has seventeen
sons and daughters in this Institu-
tion and expects to have more In
the future. A part Of these seven
teen expect to finish their college
careers this year and go out into
the world as educators and workers
for the benefit of mankind. We
hope to increase this number each
year. AS the boys and girls of our
county finish their High School
work, we are expecting them to en-,
ter higher and more extensive edu-
cational institutions. Not only is
Ohio County and each and every
county in the State represented in
the University but several OF the
other states in the Union as well as
some Of the South American Repub-
lies and Bulgaria. I

NEW FEDERAL HOSPITAL
f0A tx-StRWcf MA'
Government Sanitoriumat Daw'
son Springs Completed and
Will be Ded.ca.ed Today

Dawson Springs, Feb: 22.--Today
has been designated by the United
States Treasury Department, as the
date for the dedication OF the NAM
moth war veterans sanatorium
which has just been completed here.
This dedication will be, one, OF
statewide importance and will mark
the turning over of Uncle Sans best
hospital to the ex-service men. On
this day the keys to the gigantic in
stitution will be handed to Lieut..
Col. Fl. E. whitledge OF the United
States Public Health Service Depart
commanding officer OF the
sanatorium, who - a former Ken.
tuckian.
The Sanatorium which has just
been completed Is composed OF a
unit of twenty-five buildings and
Is located in a 5,0O0-acre tract of
land donated to the government by
the citizens of Dawson Springs, Hop.
kinsville. Madisonville and other
Kentucky people. The 5000 acre
government reservation is located
in the counties of Hopkins. Chris
tian and Caldwell.
Boon To Service, Men
To those who think they will see
one lonely building in the form of
an up-to-date hospital, and nothing
more, will receive the shock of
their lives. They will find that this
is a little city within
itself, with all modern conveniences.
- The unfit is built to care for 500
patients. With an additional ex-
penditure of 100000 it can be
made to care for twice this number,
and this action will probably be
taken in the very near future.
The unit IS composed of twenty
two buildings, all of freproof con-
struction and equipped with the very
latest mechanical equipment. The4
construction is of stucco and tile. |
1t possesses a modern power plant |
equipped with three large alternat- !
ing current generators and four of |
the largest boilers in use by the |
government. 1t has its own water |
works and sewerage system, with a
100000 gallon reservoir, and 1OO,-
OOO-gallon tank perched 100 feet in |
the air. There are filter beds and
water rectifying plant, refrigerating
plant, gas system, fire protection,
telephone system, street lights, con-
crete roads and walks.
There is macadam road from
the government reservation to Daw-
son Springs, and steel bridge and
trestle over Tradewater river, which
has been built by the government.
The site picked, for the erection
Of the sanatorium unit is one of the
most picturesque to be found any
where. The buildings are at a
point that affords a landscape view
N every direction as beautiful as
Mortal eye could wish to look upon.
The beauty of the location is ex.
)ected to help win back health for
many thousand sick and wounded
'x-service men.
