"Mrs. Corne Clay had a collarbone
broken and was otherwise bruised
und injured when she was thrown
through the windshield of an electric
car driven by Mrs. Kdvvnrd C. Stock

The accdent happened when Mm.

WORTHY CAUSE

In this issue of the Kccord we are
running the proclamation of Govern
or Black designating Children's
Week in the interest of the Kentuc
ky Children's Home Society one of
the most worthy charitable objeit
that can be brought before the peo-1
pie of Garrard county. The drive to I
be made throughout the State is to
build u home for these destitute chil
dren, the land having already been
secured near Louisville.
The present site in Louisville is
entirely Inadequate, being very
small nnd Insufficient for the varied
needs of such a home, lacking ade
quate nnd attractive playgrounds, so
much needetl for these orphan chil
dren. The drive in Garrard county for
her proportionate amount will be
conducted during the week of Oct
ober i!0ih, and bcfi.it vvh.cii time an
illustrated paper will be distributed
to all the chool children throughout
the county to quicken their intcn-'t
in this worthy undertaking. Children
are always interested in such thing
and will readily respond if encour

Drop Is Too Great.
When your correspondent
UUI.VU IIUIIU1S l,WU'- flW.I V .
College of Agriculture, in regard to
the recent drop in the prices of hogs
und cattle, he said:
"The general public does not
. teem to realize that the recent slump
' lina till ti i l -n ri ruaun t ft ilo.
crease of 10 to 30 per cent of the
prices raid a few weeks ago. ThU
difference In price means the los of
millions of dollars to the farmers of
the country. The great danger of
thi tremendous decrease where
there has been practically no de
crease in the cost of labor, imple
ments, materials, clothing and other
necessities, lies in the possible cur
tailment of food production and in
the dircouragvment of agriculture.
"ThU whole matter Is often con-.
tddered merely a farmer's problem,
but it is one which the whole country
Hiust help solve. During the war
the farmer was urged to increase his
production enormously. If pro
duction is to be maintained he must
have price which are at least on a
comparative level with the price he
has to pay for everything he must
buy. The consuming public must
realize that a proper level of com
parative price should be maintained
as the world must eat and the farmer
Is the only person who produces
food "

"You have not heretofore failed
to make generous response to the
call for laudable endeavor, and the
good you have thus done, the things
that are worth while whose accom
plishment you have aided, furnish
adequate and satisfying compensa
tion for the sacrifices you have made
therefor.
"You recognize it as of the law- of
our responsible lives that there is
ever present the duty to help when
ever there exists real need of help.
"And now, in trustful confidence
in your continuing helpful mood and
happily aware of your ability to ex
tend your benefactions, I call your
attention to the Kentucky Children's
Home Society, in the faith that you,
seeing Its high aim, may prove your
ready willingness to bestow some
financial help to it from your ample
store.
"That society was incorporated
nearly a fourth of a century ago, and
to find and to take charge of, under
its mission is and has been to seek,
orders of the County Courts, desti
tute and neglected children, those on
whose innocent lives untoward cir
cumstance lays a heavy hand, little
folks who are sound in mind and
body, and yet Ineligible to admission
to any other of our State charitable
institutions. They are a class to
themselves, with no one in their com
munities charged with the duty of
looking after their care or rearing.
'But the society undertakes to res
cue them from their crushing condi
tion by providing them with food,
raiment and housing, and a period
of training in the Receiving Home,
until there can be found educated,
moral and Christian homes in which
to place them during their non-age,
and thus make of them useful citi
zens, instead of a burden to the
State.
"My object is to commend the
society and its purposes to the peo
ple, and to suggest that the building
and grounds now occupied are not
commensurate with the demands up
on the institution nor adequate to
the great work in hand. And so it
is the desire of the society to ac
quire und pay for a suitable tract of
land situated near the city of Louis
ville, and erect thereon a number of
small buildings on the village cottage
plan, a modern children's village, for
the accommodation of the children
and the employes in charge. To se
cure and thus equip such property it
j is necessary" to raise several hundred
thousand dollars.
"The last week in October, 1919.
will be designated as the time in
which to secure said funds, and I re-
. . -... ...... c.i,i o...
, ' ZTZZJ, T
the ministers of the Gospel, County
Fiscal Courts and the people in gen
eral nnd the children in the State
contribute liberally to said fund.
"And I should rejoice to know-
that the ministers in our State will,
on Sunday, October 20, especially
mention and commend to their con
gregations the purposes aforesaid
and urge them to help by contribut
ing of their means.
The thought that all contribu
tions whether made by the Fiscal
Courts or otherwise , be made in the
name and in behalf of the children of
Kentucky has impressed me very
much, for it would be a beautiful
thing to have the property und its
equipment acquired ns a gift, made
by the children of the State who are
able to give to the little unfortunate
children who are not able to give."

We take this method of expressing
our thanks for the kindness shown
us by our friends and neighbors dur
