farmers ai State University A special course of instruction in road building will be opened at State University in Lexington by Prof R C Terrell head of the civil engineering department on January 3 and continue for ten weeks closing on March 15 It is hoped by giving this course during a timo when the farmers and other people of rural communities have most leisure that a large number of men who are vitally interested in the country will attend Prof Terrell has sent letters to all of the County Judges of the State author izing each of them to appoint two men from his respective county to attend the roadbuilding school free of cost for tuition Indeed none of the persons attending the schoolwill have to pay any fees and the only cost to them will be their boardand railroad fare It may be that the different county courts will appropriate a small sum for paying the expenses of their representatives In his letter to the County Judges Prof Terrell especiallylaid surveyorsI t and road

packing circles have conic repeated denial of widespread swine disease The wishmust be father to the thought Pig production is undeniably a little above normal and this fact has been incessantly cited as sole explanation of the Hood of imma ture porkers that has tended markctward It is scarcely possi ble that these interests are fooling themselves Certain it is that they are not beguiling the farmer Not long ago a Chicago Board of Trade operator returned from a trip through Missouri and pronounced the state practically free from swine disease He quoted Kansas City packers to the effect that a very small oercentage of slaughtered pigs showed smp toms of cholera We brought these statements to the attention of DrtJ1 W Gonna way veterinarian at the Missouri College of Agriculture who was intimately connected with the investigations which resulted in successful im munization against hog cholera with the statement that the Illinois Board of Live Stock Commissioners has been appealed to by Missouri farmers for vaccine waslunableI sive demands on it Dr Connaway declares that some parts of the state are quite free from this disease probably more so than in any previous year In sections of the state where stock is watered from ponds and small streams which were partial Ily dried up by the long drouth the cholera is much worse The northwestern part of the state iis suffering more severely from hog cholera this year than for a number of years past It seems childish to cite the absence of disease on post mortem examination in the packing house as proof of its nonexistence Farmers in such scares do not wait to ship until their swine tire dis eased They take time by the forelock The plague declared I killed ten thousand fenrI struck down the rest Feed scarcity has been an clement in the heavy marketing of pigs but palpably disaasc hits been the most potent factor VThe Locality of Chicago- A traveling salesman out of Chip cage was In Lexington Ky recent ly and had to talk over the telephone to one of his customers In a neighboring town Whon he had completed the conversation he asked the demuro little operator how much Ute charges were and she replied Thirty cents

alarming growthof revolu tionary and restrictive legislation r Some of their principles will b recognized the language having been heard before We are opposed to all class legislation whether directed against the rtghts ol individuals or of corporations It is not the duty of the Government to save men from the results of their own improvidence or to make them virtuous b lawEven before their sweeping victories in the last election the num ber of Socialist officeholders in the United States was conservatively estimated at over jive hundred scattered over thirtythree States andrepresenting about one hun dred and sixty municipalities and election districts with the greatest strength in the Middle West the Pacific Coast coming next That the Socialist movement is growing admits of no doubtin small towns and country districts as well as in the larger cities The results of what they do when elected help them in subsequent elections They do not go counter to the moral sense of the communit with sweeping theoretical changes1 but on the contrary thev make their impression by mere business honesty and efficiency The new Mayor of Schnectady announced frankly after the election that he would be thrown out of office in two years if he did not show that his udmimstnition could do better for the taxpayer with u dollar thin its uredecessors had done What he won on was his promise to

it was 133 per cent and in 1910 it was 114 per cent Most- t of the counties of the State showed popurThisydecline is not confined to the rural counties but is also noticeable in centtain important cities and towns In the cities of Frankfort and Henderson there was a considera ble decrease In Louisville Cov ington Newport Lexington Pa ducah and Owensboro there was a gain but in most instances it was not large There are some interesting items in the census returns by counties Elliott county for instance which 1900rreports but one in 1910 Johnson county which had but one colored inhabitant in

slang r Every schoolboy knows that the herringpond means the sea Most people would term it an Americanism signifying the Atlantic t A dictionary duly admits the hyphenated word describes it as slang and illustrates it with to be sent across the herring pond to be transported Yet the word was used as long ago as 1763 when an English Embassa dor wrote from Calais to a Secre tary of State that he had traversed the herringpond after about ten hours sail After one hun dred and fortyseven years the word is still slang however and may not cease to be until the terser substantives sea and ocean cease to convey their meaning An illustration of the persistance of slang in remaining slang even when it is thoroughly in the language may be found in Thackerays English Humorists where he says When

the real emblem of Wales is not the leek but the daffodil But the daf fodil outside the Scilly Isles seldom blossoms soearly as St Davids day while the wild leek grows pro fusely around the coast of

be socially unpleasing to his lady The curtain fell on his act of selfsacri flee in not killing the other dancer In act third there was still more action Jims girl rewarded him for his delicacy of
