The Wrong hind Of SmarfneSs.

w d. Hoard.
The buttermaker in certain Wiscon-
sin creamery was written TO by the
eomrnlssion merchant to whom the
butter was sold. The merchant told
the buttermaker that the creamery was
losing money by sending such butter
This is the reply the huttermaker made
You say the butter shows that it is
made from old cream Of tainted flavor
You are right. That's just the kind of
cream the patrons furnish me. / can Z
change their IDEAS You may ask if
they are not smart enough to see it.
| want TO tell you that don't know of
a set of patrons who can be smarter in
working against their own interest than
mine. But you bet they are smart. But
it is the wrong kind Of smartness.
Yes, that was the wrong kind Of
smartness. II is easy for some men to
fool themselves, but We can't fool the
market. One Of the worst things about
this creamery business is the way some
patrons look at it. They think they
have nothing to do with the quality Of
the butter That's where they are
fooled. The farmer who produces the
milk or cream has more 20 do with the
quality and price Of the butter than has
the buttermaker.

Tribute 10 q Mother.

| A Brooklyn Son writes to the New
York Times:
May ! ask attention for as brief a
space as will suffice to tell tho most in
teresting story | know?
My mother brought up family of
/ thirt.,m children She did it on small
income. She is rs years of age, and,
am most happy to say, is sound and well.
! Her means being restricted, she had all
/ her life done most of her own house
work. | defy any householder in Ameri-
ca to point out to me more clearly or
happier home than my mothers has
been during the fifty-seven years that
she has owned her own The meals she
cooks with her own deft hands are not
only the most nutritious and the most
palatable any of her children or her
guests have eaten, but have always
been the most bountiful.
81 estimate that during the fifty-sev-
en- years of her career as the head Of
her own commissary department this
lady has put upon her table before her
own family and her guests no fewer
than 375, 900 meals, and submit that
this is record more worthy of honor
than the achievements of any member
of the sex opposite to that which my
mother adorns, no matter what those
achievements may have been because
my mothers hospitality has been I'M
selfish and full of loving kindness.

Canr Anord to Read.

The old Bible says, There is way
that seemeth right unto man, but the
end thereof is death" So it is often in
the matter of what we can afford,
Many man has starved his mind while
he was fattening his hogs, and it ended
IN less and less power of mind Here is
a thought from one Of our exchanges:
| We often meet with this objection to
taking farm papers: II can't afford ".
l take the the county paper and city
daily, and that's all the time ! can md
to read, and all can afford to pay for.
Can't afford it-haven't time. My,
what state of affairs 1t has been
shown by carefully collected statistics
that those who read a dairy paper make
enough clear profit from one COW over
the profit that non-reading dalryman
make, to pay for many papers.
The statistics about reading dairy
paper that the paper alludes to were coli
lected by Hoard's Dairyman in the taxi
ing Ga COW census in Minnesota, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio,
New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and
Connecticut. Nearly fifteen hundred
dairy farmers were visited and COM
plete census of the work of their cows
at the creamery for year was taken.
With each one it was ascertained if he
read dairy paper or not. The differ
ence in the profits of those men who
read Hoard's Dairyman over those who
did not read ran as high in some cases
as six dollars per cow There is good
reason for this. The man that is well
informed does better in anything than
the man who is not. You can get
Hoard's Dairyman for two cents week.
Think of it! Can you a6iord not to
take it,
Prof. G. L. Mckay of the Iowa Col
lege of Agriculture was lecturing last
summer on dairying in California, Ore
gon and Washington. He says that ne
found everywhere, that the most sue
ccssfm dairy farmers were readers of
Hoard's Dairyman. 1t is so here. 1t is
a simple thing to write your name and
post Office address plainly on slip of
paper, put it in an envelope with dol
| lar note and address it to Hoard's Dairy
man, Fort Atkinson, Wis. Try it and
it will do you ten times the good it
costs. Five months trial subscription

The only argument presented to sup
port the changes that can be considered
worthy of consideration is that mere
money is needed in the postoffice de-
partment. And this one has been an
nuled by the fact that syndicate,
backed by more than hundred million
dollars, is ready to operate the entire
postal service and to reduce letter post
age to one cent and cut second rate one
half.
1t is our candid opinion that if these
changes are made, it will spell ruin to
many of the country publishers, and
materially injure all of them. 1t is only
step from the position that is propos-
ed to that of muzzling the press by es-
tablishing censorship, for be it known
constitutional limitations do not count
for much in these strenuous times. The
constitutional right of contract has e..
ready been officially denied. Il will be

The question Of increasing the rate

that the publishers will be entirely at
the mercy Of dictator Madden of the

SUITS ALL IN.
Less Than Five Hundred On
the Docket.

Yesterday was the last day for
filing suits for the approaching term
Of the circuit court. There are 485
cases on the docket, about half of
which are continued cases. They are
as follows: Commonwealth, lat; COM
mon law appearances, AZ; equity APP
pearances. &c; continued equity, 1914;
continued common law, 81. AS the
time for filing petitions did not ex-
pire until last midnight, the abov e
figures will probably be increased
slightly by those filed at the last
minute.
The Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company has sued the
city of Hopkinsville for 5000. They
allege that in 1904 the city assessor
assessed accounts of the company
amounting to $4,000 and $4,000
cash on hand, and that this property
was intangible, and that the items
were required to be assessed only by
the board of valuation and assess
ment of the State. The above
amount, with interest until paid, is
asked.
Sam d. Radford sues C. w. John
ston for $4,000, alleging SANDER.
Plaintiff states that in the presence
of several persons the defendant
stated that he, Radford, went before
the grand jury and swore that he
was hunting birds out of season and
that he had sworn lie, that he pro-
posed to prove that he had sworn
to a lie and that he was a common

killing Daugherty but he'd for
maliciously shooting Moore. John
Long was acquitted. He was &C
cused of shooting Moore.
The case is of a most sensational
nature and a strong array of coun-
sci was employed by the union men.

and Representative George Wilson,
of Sturgis, represented the union

Thursday Nights Sermon
Preached by a Whack
at Clubs.
ENDS TOMORROW NIGHT
Mems and Ladies' Clubs De-
nounced as Injurious to
Church and Society.

Evangelist Holcomb was ON the
war path Thursday night. Before
beginning his sermon he took a shot
at the .Elks, one of our ladies' clubs,
the saloons, the Mayor of the city
and mems and ladies' clubs in gen
eral. Outside of saloons he believes
that clubs are the most damnable to
church and society. He has never
known a woman who was an active
member of club who was at the
same time active in church work.
Learning that one of the ladies'
clubs of the city was to hold meet
ing during the revival, he said that
it seemed to him that the members
might at least postpone meeting
again until the services came to a
close. He then tu ed to the Elks'
clubs, saying they were no better
than saloons, where beer, etc., could
be had at any time, even when beer
could not be had at the saloons-even
on Sunday. He then made a pass
at the Mayor of the city, saying
that he had heard that he had gone
to the saloon men and begged them
to close on Sunday. He then told
what he would do if he was Mayor.
From what he said he would scorch
the saloon men so badly that they
would be only too glad to close on
Sunday.
After another song the Evangel-
ist asked the prayerful help of the
Christians in the message he was
about to deliver. His text was
from the third chapter of Genesis,

Execution Took place at an
Early Hour Yester-
day.
ONE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
w. R. Fletcher Protests His
Innocence on the Scat
fold.

Russelville, KY, Feb. 15.-W. R.
Fletcher and Guy Lyon, Alias Rey-
nolds, white men, were hanged here
this morning at TOO o'clock, for a
criminal assault upon Mary Gladder,
the daughter of a German mover"
Lyon attempted suicide last night
by cutting vein in his left arm
with piece of a spoon. He was
discovered bleeding to death and
was almost gone when the. flow of
blood was stopped. He was kept
alive with difficulty until the hour of
execution, and was so weak he had
to be carried upon the scaffold. He
was barely able to say in a low voice
that he was ready and prepared to
go.
Fletcher made statement saying
he was present, but did not assault
the girl. The trap was sprung by
Deputy Sheriff Con O'ConnelI.
The men were pronounced dead
in ten minutes. Fletcher's neck
was broken. Lyon was the principal
witness in the cases against Wood
ruff and Drake, who were convicted
of the murder of Robt. A. Coffey,
at Empire, and who were recently
pardoned. A few days ago it is said
he wrote a letter re-iterating the
truth of his testimony against
Woodruff and Drake. Lyon was a
young man under 80. Fletcher was
an old man 65 years old.

third verse. And the Lord said,
MY spirit shall not always strive
with man, for that he is also flesh"
He was glad that God said it, and
not Moses. God is the only one that
has right to say it. He then de-
livered most powerful sermon. in
which he spoke of the patience God
has with sinful flesh. How He
woos them by his spirit and begs
them to turn from their sins. Think
of it! God pleading with man to
give up his evil ways, when man
ought to be pleading with God to
let him get back to him. This SER
mon received the most careful at
tention of his hearers, but there was
not the manifestation of the Spirit
that might have been expected,
Though many asked for an interest
in the prayer that was to be offered
yet they did not go forward
in large numbers as usual to give
their hands to the evangelist. Call
after call was made, but somehow
the people held back.
Last night Mr.. Holcomb was to
deliver his sermon; 1.-THE King a

invitation tie everybody to go out
and hear him.
He announced again that Sunday
night the last service would be held,
