Daily, One Year $7.50 Daily, By Carrier, Per .15 Daily, One Year by Mail in and Second Zones In all other sones $5.50 For more than two years Kansas City judges have been sending drunkdrivers to the municipal farm where they serve their sentences 1 in chains. They serve once, and they don't come back, according to J. J. O'Rourke, superintendent of the farm. One lesson is enough.

They all tell O'Rourke that they have made that mistake for the last time. Iron, in the torm of shackles, is a great civ. Dising influence. -0--- There are 6,000 retarded children in the United States. The economic waste caused by their backwardness mounts into millions of dollars.

But what is more important is the terrific human loss represented there. Poor eyes, and poor light are blamed for most of this, according to Guy A. Henry, director of the Eyesight Conservation Council of America. Neglected eyesight is largely responsibie for backward pupils. The average cost ef educating a school child is $64.16 a year.

A conservative estimate of the proportion of retardation due to detective vision indicates a direct loss to the country of $130,000,000 nually. Every home in the country pays tribute for gas, electricity, water or some form of public utility. Perhaps it has not occurred to us that the' utilities themselves also must pay rent. At present the public utilities of the country are contributing about 700 million dollars annually toward getural taxation. This to about one ter of the entire 'amount paid by all the Incorporated industries of the country.

The public utility company divides your dollar into cost of fuel, labor, Interest on securities and varlous other items. But the most in-1 teresting is the great tax burden the companies bear, pouring into the pubMic coffers between 22 and 23 dollars every second of the day. Any consideration of municipal 'or ownership should not be without these tacts. MISSOURI WIFE SLAYER 18 CAPTURED BY POSSE By International News Service. Elvins, Dec.
