The Preaident has signed the
bill which amends the bankruptcy
law of 1898. The bill modifies the
existing law in several important
particulars, the principal one of
which is a provision in regard to
preferred creditors.
Under the existing law those
who had received pay from persons
who had afterwards been declared
bankrupt could not have other
claims passed upon without sur
rendering the amount received.
This provision was modified so as
to allow the creditor to retain the
money received unless the previous
payment was fraudulent.

Hubert Vreeland for Commits
siOner of Agriculture.

AS it's thousands of readers
know, the Farmers Home Journal
does not often express its prefer
ences or advise its friends and pa
irons in contests for political Off
ces, but there are times when we
deem it to be in our special prov
ince to speak a plain word where
the interest of the farming classes
of Kentucky are specially con-
cerned, and in this connection we
desire to express our heartiest in
dorsement of the candidacy of Mr..
Hubert Vreeland, of jefferson coun-
.ty, for the Democratic nomination
for Commissioner of Agriculture,
Labor and Statistics. The State
Primary will be held on May 9Th in
every county in Kentucky, and every
Democrat will doubtless feel it his
duty to go to the poles and there
express his preferences in the va
rious contests for State offices. AS
for the other State offices, the Far
mers Home Journal has no prefer
ences to express, believing that it
should have an eye only to that
which is of direct concern to the
farming classes. Mr.. Vreeland
was formerly a representative OF
the Farmers Home Journal, and
for the past three years has been
the assistant Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, receiving the appoint
ment from Commissioner I. b. Nal
on account of his special fitness fol
the duties. His service as assis
tant has familiarized him with al
the duties of the office, and in fact
has given him knowledge of the
conduct of its affairs that new
man could not acquire until after {
year or two of his term had ex-
, PRED. Mr.. Vreeland has all hi
: life been a steadfast Democrat, al
ways supporting actively the reg
ular nominees Of his party. H
has already received the indOrse
meht of thousands of the most rep
resentative farmers in Kentucky
: and it affords us a real pleasure {
{ be able to recommend to our read
ers and friends such an eminentl
qualified and estimable candidat
| as Mr.. Vreeland. We speak 70
him because we know him. W
g speak for him because we kno'
the requirements of the office whic
5 he seeks.-Farmers Home Journal
