State of Kentucky," and the binder shall press those words on the cover. The words,

"Property of the Commonwealth of Kentucky," may also be used for such purpose. Each

officer who is charged with possession of books acquired under this chapter shall write or

otherwise designate in or on each book the name of the office to which it belongs, if such
