Hence.

The farmers of the Kentucky
k.anch of the American Society of
Equity rushed through a big pro-
gram, and completed the business
of its third annual convention in
one day. New officers were elected
at the night session, after the dele
gates had been filled up with feast
of reason and flow of soul. tsgeth-
er with something Of more SUBJ
stantial nature. as the guests of the
Business Mems Club.
The whole work of the convention
fswas carried through with the ut
most harmony, and determinina-
ton to do something which will
rebound for the good of the great
mass of the farmers who are the
bone and sinew of this successful
organization. The delegates came
eager to work for the success of
their organization and to learn by
| discussion and suggestion what can
: be accomplished in the future to
attain the object to which they as
.pire.
The only change made in the Off
GERS was in the Board of Directors.
Words of commentator for the two
leading officials, the President and
Secretary were heard on all sides,
and no one thought for an instant of
suggesting any one else for the po-
sitions which the incumbents fill so
satisfactorily and. successfully. In
deed, as a slight testimonial of their
esteem and appreciation of their
worth, assistance was voted the
President, and the salary Of the Sec
rotary, who devotes all of his time
to the Society, was given a substan-
tial increase.
The convention remained IN ses-
sion until midnight, resulting on
various questions of interest which
were brought up. Twenty-one del
egates to the National Convention
were named as the last business on
the program.
The convention was called to or
der in the Senate chamber by Presi-
dent David Moreland, of Ohio coun-
ty. Representative farmers, chiefly
tobacco men from all parts of the
Commonwealth, were on hand to
take part. in the proceedings.
Agricultural Commissioner HUI
bert Vreeland delivered the formal
address of welcome after the
proceedings had been opened with
an invocation by Rev. c. R. Hudson,
of the Christian church. Interest
was intense among the visitors and
the hall was crowded to its utmost
capacity.
An eloquent response to the speech
of welcome was made by E. l.. Da-
venport, of Muhlenberg county. and
the convention got down to real
work.
