SAVE THE FORESTS AND FOREST
LANDS OF KENTUCKY

An appeal to the citizens of Ken
lucky to aid in rep1enishing the rap
idly disappearing forests of the
State, has been issued from Frank
fort. The appeal is signed by w. C.
Hanna, Commissioners of Agricul-
ture, F. M. Sackett, president of the
Louisville Board of Trade, F. c..
Dorsey, chairman of the Agricultur-
al Committee of the Kentucky
Farm Bureau, and James Speed,
Kentucky Editor of The Southern
Agriculturist. The appeal is as fol-
lows:
"a PLEA TO THE CITIZENS OF
THE STATE @
"Kentucky's forests are rapidly
disappearing, and she is making no
provision for re-foresting. Until the
year 1912 forestry work in the State
was under the Department of Agri-
culture, but practically nothing was
being done. That year, however,
the Legislature of Kentucky appro-
priated $4,000 annually to be used
by the regular developing Forestry
Commission.
'''The Legislature of 1920 abolish
ed this appropriation. 1t also abol-
ished the Commission and placed the
Forestry Department under the De-
partment of Agriculture with only
$4,000 with which to do business
This small amount was so circum-
scribed by specifications that over
one-naIr of it is useless for any con-
structive work. In fact, over one
half of this appropriation of $4,000
is turned back each year into the
cally wasted if it is used. The small
fund allowed by the Legislature of
Kentucky cuts the State off from the
use of national funds to supplement
it's own, so as to secure adequate
protection from forest fires.
Indiana, Ohio and Illinois all
have forestry commissions with am
pie funds and well developed plans
Naturally the public mind in these
States is adjusting itself to real
constructive campaign for more
trees, larger tracts of forests, and
fire prevention in forest lands.
While this is being accomplished
north of the Ohio river, the work of
educating the public in Kentucky is
virtually at standstill. This-is es-
pecially disheartening as the noun
tains of the State are badly in need
of replanting in forests, because
these areas can never become good
farming lands.
Blessed as Kentucky is with
wonderful natural resources, it
seems tragic that her forests should
be allowed to go to waste without
making some provision for the flu
ture. At the present rate of des-
truction Kentucky will soon be en-
tirely without her valued wooded
areas. The loss of forests is GER
tain to mean more destructive
floods, less revenue from lands
which can only produce timber, and
last, but not least, the loss of beau
tiful wooded areas as Fairgrounds
and outing places for the genera
tions yet unborn"

1898 FOR LEGISLATION

SHERIFF CHANGE IS BOON

In many counties of Kentucky
the fees of the Sheriff exceed the
constitutional limit of $4,000, and
even the salary of the Governor,
Sc 500. the only exception made in
the organic law Steps were start
Cd AZ the last session of the Legis-
1ature to make an investigation OF
these conditions to bring the Sher-
ifs compensation within the con-
stitutional limits.
The largest item of the Sheriff s
nav are the fees allowed for the col
lection of taxes and the larger the
county assessment the more taxes
and more fees. Now besides holding
a well-paying Office the Sheriff is
protected from imposition and losses
but if was not always that way.
Before the adoption of the pres
emf constitution. there was rich
nicking in the Sheriff's office, bu'
many who held it retired peniles'
and financially ruined. This came
about through the practice OF man!
of the Sheriffs of that period hnanc'
ing the office and carrying delln'
ouent taxpayers. Often such tavor'
were abused and the Sheriff not In
clined to force collection for pollti
cal or personal reasons frequenti!
was left to hold the bag.
Many a man who courted polltl
cal preference by being elected
Sheriff went broke under the OH
system. Now the Sheriff is not per
mitted to advance payment or carr!
taxpayer and has no other alterna
tive hut to collect the taxes withil
a stipulated time. The cnange u
the system was a boon to the oner
ifs by practically eliminating an
chance of loss in the conduct Oh III

POULTRY QUILTING ON BOURBON
FARMS

Additional evidence that Bourbon
county poultry flocks contain large
number of hens thatucan' be culled
out at this time of the year without
seriously reducing the egg produc-
ton of the various flocks is contain
ed in the results of poultry culling
demonstration held recently by the
extension division of the College Of
Agriculture on the flock of So White
Wyandottes owned by Franklin Bell,
who lives near Paris and who is one
of the magistrates in the county
court.
Fifteen hens removed from Mr..
Bells flock because they showed
characteristic signs of being low
producers that had stopped laying
until spring, produced only eight
eggs during the week after they
were separated from the other mem
bers of the flock. The 43 hens that
were kept as layers produced a total
! of 1873 eggs during the week, after
the culling demonstration, or three
more than the entire flock of SIS had
produced during the week before the
culling demonstration.
The results are typical of those
being obtained throughout the State,
an announcement from the college
says. The drive being conducted
against loafer hens has been most
intensive in counties having county
agricultural agents, these represen-
tatives of the college extension di-
vision having rendered much valu
able assistance to farmers in their
counties in this line of work alone.
Hundreds of demonstrations have
been held to show farmers and poul-
| trymen how to distinguish between
the laying and loafing hens in their
| f1ocks.

STATE HEALTH BOARD GIVES
STATISTICS

More persons came to their death

sible for 1876 deaths. Railroad &C
cidents occasioned the next largest
number of fatalities, being respon-
sible for 40 deaths; automobile
accidents, SO Deaths, and accidental
poisoning, sc deaths.
Of the 375 deaths by violence
173 were suicides and 202 homi-
cides. In connection with these
Mr.. BLACKBERRY pointed out, refer
ring to the need of more stringent
legislation against the carrying OF
firearms. that over half of the sui
cides were by means of some kind Of
firearms, and that in the case OF thu
homicides firearms were used in 81
per cent of the murders.

It throws out secretion of animal

 Princeton freshmen, answering a questionnaire, voted two to one ill favor of the modern girl. In fact, they recorded 2,106 kisses bestowed by the yearlings upon the modern girl. The few that objected based their objections on the claim that the modern girl is too much interest ed in:
 Violations of the Volstead act, corresponding, smoking and insin- cerity.
 The freshmen voted the most valu- able thing obtainable at Princeton was the varsity "P." The favoritc drama, novel and poem indicated a wide difference in taste The most popular, in each instance received only few votes.

HONEY VENTURE COST
 HIM A MONTH
Aged Man Pleads Birthday on Day Following His Appear ance in Court and Kind-Heart- ed Judge Lets Him Spend Nothing But Time.
CFrom Tuesdays Daily)

On the day berore B. :. Evans became 69 years old-the same being yesterday-there occurred an incident that will take 30 days of liberty out of the very beginning of the year that will bring him his measured three score and ten.
 MT. Evans went to jail under sent ence of the superior court for one month, following his plea of guilty with extenuating circumstances, on a charge of manufacturing intoxicants.
 The defendant yesterday faced Judge Sweeney with an admission that he had sought to convert his honey into a form more acceptable to the market. Having been nicked in the recent bank troubles at Wick erburg, Mir Evans found himself with certain supply of honey, but with no market of any appreciable strength. He said that he grew i'm patient at the thrusts of chance. He realized that something must be done else the honey supply would never be absorbed by the demand, which, for the product just as the busy bee left it, was practically nil
 He was advancing in years; the next day would be his birthday, and his years would be measured close to the number at which the average man ceases to be and is gathered into the bosom of his fathers.
 Such talk to the court was not a little impressive and Judge Sweeney, readily appreciating the fact that the defendant probably did not break the law except by reason of peculiar and persistent lack of cash, fixed a penalty in which the only expenditure would be that of time.

BAHAMAS RIVALING CUBA AS PARADISE

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The Baha- mas are soon to outbid Cuba for Am erican patronage, if the word of no less a person than Alfred H. Bromell, vice-president of the Munson Line may be taken as a criterion of con- ditions there. This gentlemen who arrived in New York yesterday af- ternoon aboard the steamship Nun argo, says during his visit to the is lands he found cocktails selling at 10 and 25 cents each, and that the quail ty of. the liquor was excellent.
 "I believe large percentage of the white population at Nassau, and other parts of the islands are be- coming rich by bootlegging." declar- ed another passenger, Personally, I was offered excellent brands of whis- ky to sell in the United States, but declined with thanks. Every one in the white colony is wealthy, and the population is increasing rapidly
 The Munargo, although an ocean going vessel, experienced trouble in leaving her berth in the Bahamas. Crew members say there were so many small power boats, and divers other bootlegging craft in the path of the liner, that it was almost inn possible to make any headway, and one oiler added: You see the skip per was too kind-hearted to run down one of the little fellows. In the first place he did not want to be for the lives of the mos quito fleets pilots, and suppose he had some thought of the valuable cargo the little fellows carried"

NAUDE ADAMS GIVES
 ESTATE TO NUNNERY

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Maude Adams, although a Protestant, has given to the Catholic Sisterhood of Our Lady of the Cenacle her fine country estate at Lake Ronkonkoma, L. I. The estate is valued at $130O00.
 What adds to the interest of this is the fact, now disclosed, that Miss Adams has made her home while in this city at the Convent Of St. Regis.
 Miss Adams's interest in the stage waned after the death of her man ager, Charles Frohman, who was lost on the Lusitania. Since then she has divided her time between the convent and her laboratory at Schenectady, where she has been conducting ex- periments in theatrical lighting.
 For short intervals she essayed a return to the stage but her heart was no longer in the work She was ex- pected to return to the footlights last Autumn, but Billie Burke appeared in The Intimate Strangers" at the Henry Miller Theatre, Miss Adams not being interested enough to con- tinue with the leading role, which Miss Burke later agreed to accept.
 About eight years ago Miss Adams became interested in the retreats con ducted by the sisters, for secular wo- men under the guidance of the religi- ous of the convent and its supple mentary work of giving religious in structions and sewing to the young, and visited the convent with view of giving encouragement to the nuns. In order to further satisfy her de sire to help the organization the ac- tress arranged her accommodation at the convent during one of the re- treats.

 REMOVAL FAILURES
CFrom Thursdays Daily)

Stockmen whose grazing permits fall under certain classifications under the national forest service ill Arizona and New Mexico, will be exempted from penalties to have been imposed flor failure to make stock removals at the proper t::.e. There are 19,332 head of cattle now on the ranges of the two states, which were to have rbeen removed during the spring and fall of 1921, according to report of the district forester at Albuquerque, these cattle remaining on the forest because of poor market conditions which prevent the cattlemen from selling.

A permit tees entitled to an increase in their permits, and all class B and C per mittees who have. compiled to the extent of removing all but 10 per cent of the excess number. Others swlie, through unforeseen circum- stances were unable to comply with removal requirements and whose position would warrant the waiving of penalty, are also to be removed from the lists.
 Each of the stockmen has been given 10 days for the forest service to show cause why he should not be penalized the 10 per cent reduction in the number of cattle permitted on ranges during the year.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 24.- The second anniversary of prohibit ton finds the nation conscious that the dry era IS here to stay, according to Federal Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Haynes.
 Barring further manufacture or inn portations the present supply of high grade bottled in bond liquor will last six years, he says. In two years much of the anti-prohibition propa- ganda has disappeared and Haynes feels that private citizen, judge and state official are now on his side. This leaves the moonshiner and boot legger to be dealt with and these, he believes, will be put out of business in due time.
