THE YOUNG CROWD OF TO-DAY.

The young people of the present
day are under much severe criticism
for loose manners and ideals. and
some people feel that they show
marked signs of deterioration. Be-
fore condemning them too sharply.
it would be worth while to consider
some things they are accomplish
ing. -
The public schools are the place
where you get the best idea of their
tendencies. Those Of us who look
back twenty-five years or more,
would not care to return to the ed
vocational conditions then existing,
when the average school was a dull
and listless place.
The typical position of school
child in those days was to lean his
weary head on his hand and rest his
elbow on his desk, as he tried to
fool the teacher with the idea that
he was studying. Usually his
thoughts were far away from the
hated school room with its tasks
which seemed meaningless to him.
1t was a common remark among the
boys of those times that they wish
ed the schoolhouse would burn
down or the teacher would get sick,
or anything happen to set them free
from their prison house.
To-day the average school room is
bright and cheerful. The great ma
jority of the children would not of
their own accord leave it. 1t has
been shown to them that a person
must have education in order to win
success in life. They may get weary
and discouraged over their lessons,
but at least they want to learn.
Young people that have come
along to and through high school
age with that point of view have at
least made a tremendous gain over
the relative position of young peo-
pie of that age twenty-five years
ago. They have silly streaks and
flippant ways and false ideas, that
are in great need of correction. But
they have some idea of one of the
basic conceptions Of life, expressed
by the stereotyped but ever true
phrase, that knowledge is power

MILLION POUNDS OF hurley
SOLD

An additional 100000 pounds of
the redried tobacco of the Burnley
Tobacco Growers Co operative AS
ISOLATION has been sold by President
James c. Stone and several other
big sales are imminent, it was said
at the offices of the association. No
information was given out as to the

or the prospective purchasers.
Before Managing Director Eugene
Meyer, Jr., assistant Floyd R. Har-
|rison, and general counsel. G. G.
Henderson, of the War Finance
Incorporation left Lexington for
|Ghattanooga they inspected the to-
bacco which is represented by the
warehouse receipts, given as collat
eral for the War Finance Corpora
ton loan, and were shown the 1den-
tffcation tags on each hogshead
which distinguishes the tobacco
pledge as collateral from the large
amount of tobacco held by the asso-
citation which is free of any loan or
collateral pledge.
They were impressed with the
bigness of the thing and the sys-
tenn of doing business and expressed
pleasure at having an interest in the
financial end of the hurley associa-
TONS work.
On their visit to the tobacco dis
triet they were shown the storage
facilities eef the hurley association
and the complete warehousing sys-
tenn which enables the hurley asso-
citation to handle millions of pounds
of tobacco and to care for it indefin-
itely pending it's SALE. Mr.. Meyer
frankly expressed himself as being
impressed with the thorough bust
ness methods of the association,
which were explained to him by Mr..
Stone.
Contracts signed in the drive are
coming to the office of Assistant
Chief William Collins, of the field
service division by hundreds. Many
of them are from West Virginia,
and the counties in Chic, which Cliff
ton Rodes is conducting campaign,
but almost every county in the dis
trict is represented in the contracts
received.

BE AT LAT0NIA

Reports that negotiations were
under way for $4,000 match
race between Norwich and Sennings
Park, handicap horse of the West

without foundation by Benjamin

him and that on general principles
he was opposed to using Norwich in
a match race with any horse.

COST OF PRODUCING TOBACCO
IN KENTUCKY

The average cost or producing
Burley tobacco on "a farms in the
Burfey district was 32.6 cents a
pound in 1920 as compared with an
average Of 25.S cents in 1919. The
cured tobacco on so farms in the
dark tobacco area of KenSucky was
14.9 cents a pound in 1920, as
compared with 17.2 cents in 1919,
and was less than one-half the cost
of producing Burley. These figures
are disclosed an a cost-of-preducing

with an average Of sz95.73. The
cost per pound ranged from 20 cents
to sc cents. approximately 80 per
cent. of the tobacco was produced
at 81 cents a pound or less. The av-
erage yield in 1919 was 1892
pounds. The light weight OF the
1920 crop is attributed to the un-
usual weather conditions prevailing
during the growing season.
In the Burley district an acre Of
tobacco required an average of 1924
days of man labor and 9:3S days of
horse labor. OF the total cost, man
labor constituted 1922 per cent,
land rent OF per cent, barns and
sticks 11.65 per cent, horse labor
70.66 per cent, and the other items
cent, and machinery .76 per cent.
Not including land rent as a cost,

fire-cured farms ranged from 275.2
pounds to 1904 pounds with an
average of 1854 pounds. The cost
per acre ranged from $77.61 to
$251.04 with an average cost of

MORE COAL, FEWER MINES

A couple of weeks ago, at the Hamp-
ton Normal and Agricultural institute,
| saw a Plymouth Rock hen with 276
eggs to her credit as the measure OF
a years work, writes George Otis
Smith, director, geological survey, In
the Nations Business. AS / am not q
hen enthusiast, my mind wandered
from poultry records to a subject near
er my heart; / found myself COM
pairing this hens year with the coal
mine workers year. Last year the
average soft coal mine Of the country
was open for work only ITO days and
the average year in the soft-coal indus
try over a long term of years contains
only 215 working days-to that extent
is the output of the coal miner limited
by causes beyond his control. Yet
there is the same kind Of public con-
Germ in the length of the ~cOal-mining
year as in the length Of the egg-laying
year.. Coal miners work by the year
just as hens work by the year, and
the cost of coal Is related to the num-
Der of days on which the mine oper-
ates in the year just as the cost Of eggs
is related to the number of days on
which the hen lays. In this respect
the coal business and the egg business
conform to the same economic law,
but are we making as much progress
with coal as with eggs?

I'm America we are all in the hunt
men and Our everlasting
quest of excitement Is wearing us out"
says Irving Bachelor, the well-known
writer. "We may find knowledge and
excitement and even pleasure abroad,
but not that abiding presence we call
happiness, which, unless she be dead,
is always calling us back home. Every
n who goes about looking for happi-
ness will look in vain. If he Is capa-
Bile of seeing her, he will find her
waiting on his doorstep when he gets
home. What is happiness? Is it not
in love Of ones task and of his asso-
Citations? 1 am convinced that it is
born of those two loves, or not at all.
The greatest happiness lies in hav-
ing found ones work and In being
strong to do it. Good health is, there
fore, a part of the thing we call hap
piness. The friends who respect and
understand us and a loved task and a
comfortable home fill the cup"

Much less than two centuries ago
smallpox was more prevalent than Is
measles today. In Europe those who
escaped 1t were a minority. George
Washington caught 1t when seventeen
years old, in Barbados, and bore the
marks Of 1t through life. OF all the
great epidemic diseases, smallpox was
the most terrible enemy of mankind.
Conquest Of it may be regarded as
n of the most remarkable Of human
achievements. Vaccination, supple
mented by the practice Of isolating
sufferers, has wiped it out so thor
oughly in this country that since 1904
according to a newly published state
ment of the public health service)
deaths from smallpox have been less
than one in 100000 Of our population
per annum.

Eureka, Kans., Feb. 4.-One year
past the century mark and still ply
sically and mentally alert and taking
great interest in politics and current
events is George A. Gordon of this
town.
His extreme age has brought Mr..
Gordon a number of distinctions.
Members of his family claim that he
is the only grandfather of a Civil
War veteran nsw living; that he is
the last surviving member of the In
diana State Constitutional convention
tion of 1850, and he Is one of few,
if not the only man, living today
who heard Revolutionary War stor-
les from his grandfather who took
part in it, January % was Mr. Cor
don's 101st birthday.
my grandfather, George Gordon,
of Cuberland, Pa, was a soldier in
the American Revolution" related
Mr.. Gordon recently. ut was my
great uncle William Armstrong,
who captured, the six Hessians and
took them into Washington's camp,
and said in reply to the generals
question as to how he captured them:
Faith, l surrounded them!" / re-
call as "a boy hearing my grandfath-
er tell Of this other incidents of the

The attainment of an extreme old
age is matter of much satisfaction
to this centurion, because earlier in
life-76 years ago to be exact-Mr.
Gordon was in Ill health. He was
compelled to give up the practice of
law on which he was just embarking
at Newton, H. An overland trip to
Texas-during which he had typical
experiences of the wild west" such
as getting caught in a buffalo stamp
ede and being chased by Indians-im
proved his health so much that he
decided to take up farming.
II attribute my longevity largely
to my temperance habits and an ac-
tive outdoor life," said Mr.. Gordon.
Also to the fact that always have
made it point to keep out of debt
and avoid worrying"

was fired.
The rabbit" turned out to be a

physician where he was found to be
suffering severely from the loss of
blood. The bullet, which had mush-
roomed, tore pagged hole In the
flesh of the thigh. 1t was found
necessary to probe for the lead at

bed, but physicians anticipate no
further trouble barring the possible
advent of complications to the open

SOR TO THE LATE POPE
BENEDICT

Rome, Feb. 4.--The third ballot
for the election of successor to
Pope Benedict was taken this morn

issuing from the chimney of the Sis

throngs outside of the failure of the
sacred college to agree on the morn

taken this afternoon.
The highest Vatican official told
the United Press positively that only
two ballots are taken daily. A para
graph under dash statements were
printed throughout the United States
yesterday that four ballots were TAX
en- yesterday. This is proven untrue
by the statement of the Vatican Off

200 Hunters Get
2Prairie Wolves

Alexandria, Feb. 4.-Two prairie
wolves and scores of rabbits were the
returns of a full days wolf hunt
staged here last week. Over two
hundred huntesr participated in the
drive which was held in Rosedale
township. A school section was Sc
lected as the finish--the goal. and
there many of those who originally
started were found to have dropped
out and returned to town.
The day was bitter cold and a
strong wind sprinkled with snow and
sleet, made the already undesirable
weather almost unbearable. Hunters
from Ethan, Mitchell, Alexandria and
farmers throughout this section took
part. Several of the wolves escaped,
the lines being drawn too loosely to
bar their progress. The wolves were
sold at auction, each animal bring
ing Sc. The $12 was turned over to
the Salvation Army for charity pur-
poses.

BUSINESS ABOUT
AS LAST MONTH
REPORT OF FEDERAL RESERVE
BOARD SHOWS VERY
LITTLE CHANGE

Washington, Feb. 4.--Business and
financial conditions throughout the
country during January were with
out striking departure from the gen
eral situation in December, accord
ing to the monthly eview issued to-
day by the Federal Reserve board.
Seasonal slackening in various lines
of industries has taken place during
the month, the board declared, but
such recessions have not gone be-
yond the proportions to be expected
at this time of year. Productive ac-
unusually well sustained, it was add
ed. Some improvement in the iron
and steel trade was noted by the
board and in other manufacturing
lines similar tendency, but in cot
ton and wooden textures. ma material
change was declared to have taken
place. Little recovery in the depres-
sion in silk is yet to be seen, the
board stated.
Little change in crop conditions
can be expected during the winter,
it was asserted, but prices on staple
farm products have about held their
own with interest in the agricultural
situation centering on preparations
for the new season.
Wholesale trade lines have shown
great variation, but in the retail
trade the buying demand, in the
manufacturing districts in the east
and north still shows improvement
while demand in the agricultural re-
gions of teh west and south indicates
a sharp decrease as compared with
the corresponding period of a year
ago. The general price level, the
board added, has shown but little
change.
Commercial demand for credit dur.
ing the month, the board reported
had tended downward while market
quotations for money have eased
foreign exchange quotations fluctu.
ated,. within narrower range thar
during December while export trade
has shown tendency toward {
small volume of business.
