shows Himself a Philosopher as Well
as a Gentleman in the Brown
case.

Col. @Jacl" Chinn, one Of the most
salient, spirited and torcib1e of Ken
lucky statesmen, is still on deck. and
millions tingle at his mighty name,
says the New York Sun. AT Harrc.ls.
burg last week Col. Chinn and Htn.
Gracious Simonfdes Brown had a
long and learned dispute on the prect-
sion of the equinoxes. Col. China

gument that the proper term was he
procession of the equinoxes." Mr.
Brown must have been betrayed iLto
unbecoming heat by his sense Of the
weakness of his position. At any rate,
Col. Chinn, who has never resorteG to
violent cethods since Hon. Andrew
Carnegie endowed the Temple OF
James, was compelled to lay haads
gently, as the law books have it, uLon
the opposing wrangler, whom he is
said to have knocked down with an.
umbrella. No Kentuckian could ever
fall under the impact Of such weLp
on. If Mr.. Brown fell it was because
he felt that Col. Chinn mad right to
his side.
The vulgar story that Mr.. Brown
upbraided the colonel for riding
through the Brunonian wheat he1ds
with a pack of foxhounds may be dis
missed the costs. Col Chinn Is a
great feudal lord He has the right
OF way in all fields, and has ridden

cious, too, is the tale that the colonel

age. No farmer or planter would OBJ
ject to the inrtdtngs of Col. Chinn.
He is Corn Splyit. lie brings health
and fertility to the crops. "Gol. Chinn,
continues the legend, walked away"
This is true. He is not the man to
run away. Mr.. Brown followed him.
That was where Mr.. Brown made his
mistake. He could not catch up With
him in disputation. The. colo4:el
touched him with the umbrella, and the
crushed conversationalist sank to
earth.
The subsequent legal proceedings
vindicated the colonel as phtlo5o
pher, logician and chevalier. The
court fined him 81. Some accounts
say cent. Mr.. Browns fine. with
costs, amounted to s1s. Col Cntnn
paid both sums, and begged Mr..
Brown to obltge him with the. loan OF
his right hand in friendships grasp.
and the triumphant and the defeated
scholar walked out of the court to-
gether. Doubtless they soon made a
friendly observation as to the spec !.
gravity and gayety Of the wine Of the
country.

first time ever hit fellow with an

This magnanimous old friend must
be reminded again that he didn't hit
with an umbrella, but with the heavy
hammer of his argument. Henceforth
the procession of the equinoxes will
be as long as it chooses in passing a
given Kentucky point where the
cheer is good.

Business ON Farm.
The address ON Business methods
in Farming by Mr. Watkins was eX-
cellent and showed many ways in
which the farmer might improve his
condition. In part Mr.. Watkins said:
When speaking of farms the first
thing that comes into my mind is the
home, and | can picture it as it grows
until when the son or the daughter
leaves it fixture, a part of the farm
is torn from its earthly mornings.
The farmer today is raising more
grain and stock than ever before, but
he is not in the grain pit nor at the
stock yards where the prices of his
productions are controlled. There are
5000, 900 farmers i'll the United States
who do not work in unison. and who
are practically at the mercy of the

Two Important Questions Answered

Every nutritive element of the best
white wheat grown is found in Malta
Vita. This famous food is the whole
of the wheat thoroughly steamed and
cooked in absolute purity and mixed
with the finest malt extract that was
ever made. thus it is the richest,
strongest food in the world. You un-
derstand, of course, that the cooking
and steaminS of the wheat EelatiniZeS

Il powerful digestive agent, quickly
converts this starch into maltese. or

We all know that for many years
physicians of high standing in their
profession have prescribed malt ex-
tracts. which contain a large percent

from eight to ten per cent of maltese
When M9lta-Vita comes from the

position on either suggestion. You of
the Farmers congress do much to
draw safe and sane conclusions and
thereby give greater efficiency to the
law.
Would Adjust Tariff.
Il believe in an adjustment of the
tariff TO give the farmers the right to
hold their own business. Some mis-
guided mind has succeeded in getting
the gates of France closed against the
American farmer. and possibly by the
first of March the gates OF Germany
will also be closed The surplus of the
soil must find an outlet in foreign mar
kets, and TO that end the farmers are
most vitality interested.
In conclusion let me say | am glad
that the farmer of today is not one de

| Government Is Faulty.
Il hope you are not under the delus-

we are on track by ourselves run
ming a race with civilization and all
other countries are in the grand stand

and refresh your memory on our his
tory and see the wonderful victory we
have accomplished. Only little
while ago there was scarcely a million
people scattered along the coast of the

til finally we are on the shining sands
of the Pacific coast. Have you stopped
to think of our phenomenal CONNER

of $4,000. 100000 year. and its pos

assume your products are no better
than your neighbors, but you will get
no better price, but look out for what
