enough into the Tariff question to un-
derstand the details. but he knows. In
a general way. that to open the mar
kets OF the United States to the cheap
labor OF the world would put most
OF our manufacturing establishments
out Of commission and bring an
amount Of misery and distress TO our
working people that would be appall-
ing. The world outside of the United
States is large. There are millions
Of people whose living does not cost
them 30 cents week. and counties
where four cents a day is considered
good wages. Some of these people
are skilled in all sorts Of handicrafts.
Under Free-Trade their products would
be brought here in almost unlimited
quantities. Articles that cost the la
Dor OF a week would be sold at
profit for a dollar. Our own artisans,
accustomed TO high standard of liv-
ing, could not possibly compete with
people who. scarcely realize that time
has any value. and the result would
be disastrous in the extreme.

TUBERCULOSIS EX-
HIBITI0N CLOSED.
At Louisville and Will Open At
Frankfort in a Few Days,
Later at Lexington.

The American tuberculosis Ex-
hibition which has just closed in Louis
vile, will be opened in Frankfort on
Monday, February Bird where it is
hoped TO impress upon the legislators
and others gathered there from all over
the State the needs and possibilities
of prosecuting the Anti-Tuberculosis
movement in every county of the
State.
The two weeks stay of this Exhibi-
ton in Louisville was marked by the
greatest interest among Louisville peo-
pie and every business and social Or
ganization in the city co-operated to
make it complete success. For two
weeks there was a daily attendance of
three thousand people, and some Of
the results have already begun to make
themselves shown,
The makeup of the tuberculosis Ex-
hibition is very Interesting, in that IL
consists of photographs and many
d.
models of buildings for the open air
treatment of consumption and illustra-
ted lectures are delivered in connec-
ton with it every hour during the
day.
It is being sent to Frankfort by the
Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
tion and the Lexington Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association which will share the
expenses incurred during its week stay
In the Capitol. There have already
been presented before this session, of
the Legislature a number of bills pro-
viding for steps to be taken against
tuberculosis, and this is no doubt. a
very opportune time for inaugurating
an educational campaign In the pres
'ence of the legislators.
Leaving Frankfort the Exhibition
will go to Lexington after which the
Kentucky Anti-Tuberculosis Associa-
ton expects to have So thoroughly or
ganized the Anti-Tuberculosis fight
all over the State that the very high
death rate which now obtains in Ken
lucky from this disease will be very
greatly reduced.

FEBRUARY IS, 1920.
Commissioner Rankin Makes
the Announcement in let
fer TO Mr.. Woodward.

Mr.. c. l.. Woodward has received
the following letter from Commission
ers of agriculture NJ. c. Rankin which
fixes the date for the farmers insti-
tute ON February Is, IS and 20.
This is to officially notify you that
the dates of the State Farmers Insti-
tute have been changed 10 Feb. 18th,
10Th, and goth, 1908. This step was
made necessary after 1t became APP
parent to this Department that, with
the present conditions existing in the
Legislature, It will be impossible to
secure practical results in the way Of
legislation pertaining to the farming
interests of the State. Up to the pre-
sent time very few bills have been
referred to Committees, and as there
is much important legislation desired
at this session, it becomes impera-
tive that We postpone the dates. Kind
lv have notice to this effect made in
your next issue of the local papers.
The newspaper men have always CO.
operated with this Department, and
am sure they will gladly give promi-
nence to this change of dates. Very

Alive to the Situation.

1t is we'll for the country that IT
has in the Speakers chair sturdy
old man like Uncle Joe Cannon, who
cannot be moved by the threats or the
ridicule of ignorant or interested par
ties to move in the direction of Ia riff
ripping. We are beginning to recover
from the scare produced by financial
rippers and spectators In Wall Street.
Factories and works that were closed
down for scare are re-opening, and
thousands of men going back to work,
and the money paid out to them is
entering into and swelling the life
blood of the industrial and CONNER
cial activity of the county. If to
the financial scare and uncertainty
that accompanies a proposed rcduc-
ton of Tariff schedules, there would
be dark days ahead for the republic,
and your Uncle Joe is kcenly alive
to the situation.

What the Country Needs.

The New York Herald" usually eX-
hibits pronounced Free-Trade lean
ings, but just now it squarely advises
its readers that this is no time TO
tinker with the Tariff" 1t adds:
What the country needs is absolute
freedom from disturbing legislation an
an untrammeled opportunity to re-
cover from the shock 1t has sustain
ed" This strikes most sensible per-
sons as a statement that cannot be
gainsaid and indeed there is no at
tempt to dispute it. But while the
Free-Traders are silent the reciprocity
mongers are at work and are doing a
good deal of mischievous tinkering
which deserves the attention of Con-
gress.

expressed their intention of entering
soon. A number of teachers who exa
pect 10 attend are delayed in matricu-
lating on account of the fact that
their schools have not yet closed. The
classes in several studies have become
SO large that it was found necessary
to divide each into two sections in or
der that the most effective work might
be done. Other classes may be sec
uonized as the enrolment increases.
All departments of the school are
in good condition, and excellent work
is being done. The attendance and
punctuality are being kept up to The
high standard established. Teachers
are now trying to establish a high
standard of recitation work in all
classes by requiringpupiIs TO prepare
their lessons and keep up with their
respective classes. Pupils who habit
ually fail to study and prepare lessons,
or who are not sufficiently we'll pre-
pared to do the work of their grades
are dropped to the next grade below.
