KENTUCKY HILLSMEN EAGER FOR SCHOOLS Missionary Tells How Mountain People Sacrifice for Education.

RICHMOND HAS PROBLEM ABOUT FARMS TO SOLVE

PRESBYTERIANS LtAD

Church Supports College to Tech Boys and Girls ' Trades.

Despite their many handicaps, a kee-i intellect and a cheerful, hopeful attitude toward life are the characteristics of the mountain people of Kentucky, said Mrs. Weidler, of the Presbyterian school at Frenchburg, Ky., at tha Reld Memorial church yesterday morning. Mrs. Weidler described the eagerness of the mountain people to Jearn and their willingness to sacrifice for church and school. In her Beventeen years' experience as a teacher she said she never had seen Btudenis bo alert. Referring many times to the passage, "As the Lord has prospered you," she contrasted the condition of the mountain people and their efforts to take advantage of every opportunity with the people of this state and their neglect of many chances. The school at. Frenchburg, which is the only one conducted by the Presbyterian Ladies' Mission Board, is helping these people The stories of many of these lives, struggling for a chance, were told by Mrs. Weidler. Money is Unknown. Six miles from the nearest railroad station, surrounded by rugged, barren land, the people of the neighborhood barely subsist. Each person raises only enough produce for his own family. Money is almost unknown, barter being the method of exchange. They are independent, sne said, and would accept nothing without giving something in return for it. She tolrt of two small boys who worked during the summer, getting produce valued at twenty-five cents for their day ' labor. Wnen the school found them they were supporting their Bged grandmother. The school gave them a dollar a week, which they spent for flour, sugar and coffee during the winter. So eager were the boys to learn that they tramped over the mountains to school. One was weak and could not stand the hardships but the other kept on coming, carrying his small dinner pail. Some days after dinner he would be bright and alert, on others he would be dull and stupid. Mrs. Weidler wondered at this and investigated. She found that he got up at 4 o'clock to begin his walk to school, and that the dinner pall which he carried was empty. She told of many other cases, but always the same independent spirit was displayed by the mountain people, with powerful, keen Intellects that only need training. Concluding she prophesied that future leaders of the nation would come from this hardy, unspoiled race. She pointed to Boone, Clark and Lincoln, saying other great men would spring from the same mountain people.

BY FRANK PARKER STOCK BRIDGE Did you ever stop to think that Rich

mond is built on the farm? Not on one farm, but on all the farms of this section, of this county, of thia si at-, of the whole United Staters. W'hi't !':. ; , '-;!' cuts, what its peov.eu' i. v. material from which ;our facialis make their products, the things that you buy and sell in your stores, with very few exceptions, must come from the farm. If there were no farms there could be no towns. If the farms in this neighborhood are poor this must be a poor town. What is the town doing for the farmer? The farmer is handicapped because he is not a community dweller. Whatever he does he must do with his own resources, individually, and largely on his own initiative. If he is a good farmer he is usually too busy attending to his farming to do very much else. That is why the wise men in live towns all over the country are giving a big share of their attention to the farmers' problems. They are not so much interested in helping the farmer except that they are beginning to see that everything that helps the farmer helps them. You can see that at a glance. Here are fifty farms on R. F. D. route No. 1 .that starts from the postoffice. They are fairly prosperous, and you share in their prosperity. They buy their groceries and clothing and hardware in your town, and they bring their produce here to sell. When they are prosperous when crops are good this town is prosperous and you are prosperous. But it doesn't need any argument to prove to you that if these fifty farms were twice as productive ana if there were one hundred of them instead of fifty of them along R. F. D. No. 1 this town would be better off. It would pay you, it would pay the town in dollars and cents to show the farmers who are already there how to increase their crops and raise better and more profitable crops; to induce other farmes to settle on the fertile land around this town. This is one of the things your Board of Trade or Commercial club can do for your town. It is one of the things that town development organizations are doing for other towns. People used to think that crops could not be grown on the rocky soil

around Duluth. A great commercial city has grown up there, at the head of Lake Superior, and the food for its

people had to be shipped in from distant counties. They could not develop new industries because the cost of food was so high that wageworkers could hardly afford to live in the city. The Duluth Commercial club undertook to solve the problem. It sent for soil experts, who found just what crops could be'st be raised on that soil. Then it advertised its farm opportunities and engaged a farm expert to show the new settlers how to make the best use of the land. Duluth is now the center of a great and prosperous agricultural community, new industries are locating there, and the members of the Commercial club are reaping rich dividends on tneir investment. Your town has a farm problem to solve, and the Commercial club can solve it. Find out what the farms and the farmers in your vicinity need. Bring in experts, if necessary, to make an agricultural survey. Then, because you men who are working together for the common good are a thousand times as efficient as any individual, you can solve the problem easily. You may not be in a position to employ your own agricultural expert, but you can induce the county authorities to engage one and the county or the state to engage a demonstration farm in your vicinity. You can find out

what kind of crops grow best in your neighborhood and advertise to the world the excellence or your soil for these crops. Millions of people are looking for good farm land. Some of these millions will buy near your town if you let them know what there is there for them. Most important of all, your organization can be the leader in the promotion of good roads from the farm to town. It doesn't make any difference how big a crop the farmer raises; if he cannot haul it to town cheaply he cannot sell it at a profit, and he will have no money to spend in your town. And you and the other people in your town will have to pay enough more every year for your food tnan would build many miles of good roads. Every dollar in money, every minute of time intelligently spent by a town development organization in improving farm conditions, pays bigger dividends than any other equal investment can possibl pay. Your board of trade or chamber of commerce is willing and anxious to help build up the farming country around your town. It can only go as far as the people of the town are willing to help by contributing their money and their time.

DECLARES PUBLICITY HAS UNTOLD VALUE I. L. Lee Talks to Pennsy Agents at Meeting in This Citv.

Time Money Scarce; Causes Week's Decline

POLITICS CAUSE MANY TO ASK FOR CITIZEN'S PAPERS

Politics is the influence which causes many persons to secure naturalization papers, according to Judge Fox. He says final naturalization papers are seldom taken out by residents from other countries until they have been in the United States for many years. "A good many persons who are now prominent in their communities are not naturalized American citizens," said the judge. "They seem to be satisfied with the 'first degree' which they receive when they file the first papers. For all purposes in which they are interested, they are then citizens of the country. "The naturalization laws have something to do with this. After a man takes out his second papers, he is eligible to hold city office and any state office except those of representative, senator, governor and lieutenant governor. "After many of them have been in cue country for a number of years, they become interested In politics and the desire to hold office often prompts them to take out the second and final papers for citizenship."

BY HENRY CLEWS. NEW YORK. Oct. 13 The decline of the past week was largely due to active professional manipu'ation based chiefly upon the increased Hrruness and scarcity of time money, upon disappointment over the delay m a distribution of Union Pacific assets and upon the strong disagreement among bankers over the currency bill. Auded features of discouragement were temporary confusion regarding the new tariff and indications of slight business recession in localities atTected by crop damage aud tariff changes. While the harvest as a whole has fallen behliut expectations, especially as to corn Mid cotton, the grand rtsult in the United States has been about an average yield, and the money value of our crops will probably be almost as great as, if not equal to, that of last year. There has been no crop ; calamity; and our farmers as a class, backed by several successive good years, are, generally speaking, prosperous. The losses of corn In Kansas . and Oklahoma were largely compensated for by the big wheat crop; and the loss of cotton in Texas and Oklahoma by a larger yied in Georgia and ; other states and the high prices ob-; tained for the staple. In the new tariff schedule there is! nothing that was unexpected. A re-j duction in duties was a foregone con-1 elusion ever since the election eleven i months ago. Business men gradually j prepared for the inevitable. Unfortu-, nately, a few concerns in the cotton and woolen industries will be hard hit . ? But these will prove very few, and in most cases the injuries will be con-! fined to establishments that were behind the flnJes "in efficiency and equipment. OmrVgreat steel industry is in !

splendid shape to meet new condi-;

tions. Possibly a small amount or European steel might be landed on the Atlantic or Pacific coastal markets, but such amounts will cut no serious figure in our total trade. American steel manufacturers, though naturally averse to losing any tariff advantages, are abundantly able

to take care of themselves in the world's markets, in which we are rapidly becoming a more and more important factor. Our exports of steel are destined to show marvellous growth during the next rew years, not to speak of a growing domestic consumption; because the combination of our enormous resources, our modern equipment and our native skill, which foreign competition will simply sharpen, cannot do otherwise than command for us a much larger share of the world's business. The prospects of currency legislation will be considered a cause of hesitancy ar.d. therefore, temporary business contraction. The outlook for legislation now is particularly confusing.

and there is strong conflict of opinion between bankers themselves as to the solution, which is not encouracing. but President Wilson is a:a to expect that the bill will become law Tufore December 1. The home money market is not yet free of perplexities, although no crisis is now expected. Crop demands are not over, but are being met more easily than expected, partly through the beneficial action of the treasury and partly throwsh the lessened requirements for business and crop purjoses. The monetary position abroad is not satisfactory. London has had a flood of new issues, and the demand for funds by European governments, largely for military purposes, is incessant and extreme. A very cautious feeling prevails among the leading bankers of Europe, and it Is quite evident that gold exports to tne I'nited States will be strongly resisted by the Bank of England, although natural conditions will shortly favor an influx of the precious metal to these shores.

Our local bankers are not pessimistic regarding the situation, although they see the possibility of a slight business recession in Europe as well as in the United States from the Intense actlTlty of the past year or two. It is premature to assert that stock market values have reached their low point, but the immediate situation doea not warrant any further serious de-!in-the reaction that has alreadv

tbken place having fairly discounted ' many of the unfavorable features referred to above. Nevertheless obligations should be assumed with care until the money market recovers Its . equilibrium.

It tones and strengthens the entire system.

As a courtesy to the traveling public the Pennsylvania system officials have instructed the engineers to cease blowing off steam when stopping at the station platforms. The officials believe the sudden blowing off of steam may be the cause of many minor accidents, as the roaring noise startles people. Many persons arop valuable parcels. On the other hand the waste of steam soon becomes an item of expenditure when it is considered that thousands of engines along the system waste steam by the useless actions of the engineers.

BOARD TO IMPROVE THE OBSERVATORY

The Earlham College observatory is to be made one of the best in this section of the country, following action taken by the board of trustees last week. The board appointed President Kelly and Prof. Mendenhall on a committee to get an expert from Chicago to determine what is needed on the observatory, so that arrangements may be made immediately to make It modern in all respects. The observatory is the oldest in the state of Indiana, which is one reason for the action of the trustees. It is not known when the Chicago expert will come to examine the instruments.

Bossert, county attorney to consider the rebuilding of two grade Eike crossings on the C. & O. near ere. The C. & O. crossing in the southeastern part of the county will be Improved and made less dangerous by the raising of the road to a level with the tracks. At the present time the railroad grade is five feet higher than the level of the road. The present con-, flition of the Waterloo pike crossing Is dangerous agreed the men. The railroad immediately after crossing the pike makes an abrupt turn around a high hill and it is impossible to see an oncoming train. An overhead bridge will probably be built at this crossing. A subway was suggested but was found to be impractical owing to the fact that during the high freshet the Whitewater River overflows- bacikng1 up under the tracks so that a subway would be filled with water at that time.
