What il Takes TO Advertise.

The man that tries just one ad-
vertisement, and then If his stors
doesn't fill up, says the advertising
is no good, is like the Indian who
was told how good a feather-bed is
to sleep in, and decided to try one.
He could not get a whole featherbed,
so he got one feather and laid on it.
The next morning he got up very
sore and lame and announced:
white mans feather-bed heap big
fraud" 1t takes more than a feather
to make a feather-bed and more than
one advertisement to to make eff
fective advertising. Stick-to-it-ive-
ness is the secret of good advertis-
ing.
If you don't read the ads, you miss
all the good chances in a business
way that are open in the town.

Presidential size now known to the
Democrats of the South and West.
With no one to oppose him in the
West, Bryan will sweep the country
at Denver from the Ohio to the Pa
cific Coast, with its 39S delegates.
With no one to oppose him in the
South, he will get every delegate, to-
falling $50.
The more Bryan has been attacked
the stronger he has become with the
masses of his party. Bryan will prob
ably get all the territorial delegates,
which will swell his total apparent
strength at this time to 720 or forty
eight delegates more than he needs
to reach the nomination.
1t would seem that Bryan Is prac-
tically nominated now.

WANTS TAXES ON
POOLED TOBACCO
Big Suit Filed by Revenue
Agent Reborn.
SUITS IN FOURTEEN COUNTIES
In Which He Seeks to Tax
S1OO,OOO,OOOW Worth
Of Equity Weed.

Lexington, Ky, Feb. 29.-M. p.
Reborn, revenue agent for the State
at large, is here and states he has
filed suit at Winchester for back
taxes on tobacco held in pool by the
American Society of Equity to the
value of s10O,000.000. The suit covers
two years of the 1906 crop and one
year of the 1906 crop, and according
to Mr.. Reforms statement, is the
largest action for back taxes ever filed
in Kentucky.
In addition to filing this suit, Mr..
Reborn declares he will file, or cause
to be filed, in the forty-two counties
of the Burnley tobacco district, suits
against the boards of control for the
different counties for the back taxes
on the 1905 and 1906 crops, which
he claims are due.
The claim set up by agent Reborn
in his petition filed at Winchester to-
day is that the 1906 crop is worth
SOEyUUO,OUU, WulCu lOT IWO gtdl ,
would make $64OOO,OOO, and to this
is added the 1906 crop, valued at
$50, OOA, 900, making a total of $780,
900. 900.
The allegation is made in the petit
ton that these crops were omitted
20 per cent. penalty and costs. The
SCISSORS board of supervisors and board
of assessments and valuations. The
plaintiff prays that the court fix the
amount and value of the crops at a
fair cash value and adjudge the same
liable for taxation and that defend
ant be required to pay taxes with
20 per cent, penalty and costs. The
action is said to have been precipi-
tated by the report that the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company is negotiating
for the whole holdings of the Burley
society.

SUED FOR $145, 900.

Louisville, Ky, Feb estate Rev
enue Agent Arthur E. Hopkins to-
day filed suits in fourteen counties
seeking to recover from the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company taxes alleged
to be due on tobacco owned by the
company during the past five years
valued at s16,5O0,OOO. The amount OF
taxes claimed, with interest, totals
in round numbers $145,OOO. 1t is al
legged that the failure of the state to
secure the tax is due to the practice
followed by the company in allowing
the tobacco purchased from the
growers to remain in the farmers
barns until needed, the farmer, OF
course, not paying tax on it.

Just as the nomination of Judge
Alton b. Parker by the Democracy
In 1904 was foreshadowed months be-
fore the convention, so is the nomi-
nation of William ]. Bryan in 1908
clearly indicated now. The actual
condition-taking into consideration
all the probabilities, the unmistaka-
BILE drift everywhere-is believed to
be expressed in the tabular statement
printed herewith.
The Democratic party has in recent
years had a habit of swinging heavily
ONE way or the other. IT is swinging
far Bryanward to-day.
Here are some recent events show
ing Bryan's strength:
Nlnety-eight out of 151 Democratic
members of Congress interviewed
expressed preference for Bryan.
Wisconsin State Convention instruct
ed it's twenty-six delegates for Bry-
an.
Ohio State Committee Endorsed Bry-
an, with Judson Harmon for Vice
President.
Indiana State Committee Endorsed
Bryan.
Texas State Committee Endorsed
Bryan.
Oklahoma Democratic primaries
declared for Bryan.
West of the Allegheny mountains
no one else is talked of but Bryan.
Personally, he is deeply impressed
with the belief that this is his year.
He thinks he will be elected. In In
diana, Democrats and Republicans
alike are coming to regard 1t as
almost certainty that he will get
the fifteen electoral votes of thatState,
This in itself has been sufficient to
make Bryan resolute.
The South is for Bryan. Whatever
may be said by the politicians there
is not public man in the South who
will come out openly and oppose the
election of Bryan delegates. This is
due to the the Southern voters, espec-
tally in the rural districts. The in
slant a Southern Representative in
Congress opposes Bryan, that instant
his denomination becomes doubtful
Bryan has spent four busy years
impressing the Democratic voters of
the country, and especially of the

Importance of Kentucky as a Tobacco
State.

Average annual yield of tobacco,
about 2SO,OOO,OOG pounds.
Average value about $16, 100000.
Area OF land under cultivation,
about 2SO,OOO acres.
The total tobacco crop of the I'm
tied States amounts to about $50, 00O,-
900 pounds annually, its value being
estimated at something like $54,0O0,OOO.
The total tobacco crop of the worlu
is estimated at about 2,050,000,0o0
pounds.
Kentucky, therefore, supplies more
than one-third of the total production
of the United States, and more than
one-tenth of the tobacco of the world.

VIM. 0. BRADLEY
: ELECTED SENATOR
Amid Scenes of the Most
Turbulent Sort.
-FOUR DEMOCRATS CAUSED IT
Mr.. Beckham'S Supporters
Fought Bravely. But
To No Avail.

William O'Connell Bradley, of Louis
vile, was elected United States Sem
ator to succeed James B. McCreary,
receiving Ga votes on joint ballot,
barely enough TO elect, as 127 MEM
bers were present and voting. His
' e'Srtion was made possible by four
Democrats, Senators Charlton and
McNutt, of Louisville, Representative
Mueller, of Louisville, and Represen-
tative Lillard, of Boyle county, who
voted for him The Beckham sup
porters walked into trap which had
been laid for them. The voting at
joint session proceeded as usual I'M
til after enough Democrats had voted
to make the breaking of quorum
impossible, when Senator Charlton
changed his vote to Bradley. Sena-
tor McNutt and Representatives Muel-
Ter and Lillard also voted for the
Republican caucus nominee. Pande-
monium broke loose when it became
apparent that bradley had received a
majority, and a recapitulation was
demanded by the Democrats, who sur
rounded the four members who had
voted for Bradley and pleaded with
] them to change. Offers to withdraw
Beckham's name and to call Demo-
cratic caucus were made, but the pro-
posal to compromise came too late and
the four refused to change their votes
On recapitulation general breakup
of the Beckham forces took place, and
at the final count he had but Is votes,
the same number that was given to
Ollie James. Each Democrat voted
for his personal choice, while theBrad-
ley ranks stood firm and the Speak
er finally announced the result.
The final vote stood as follows:

COMPLAINS OF SHORT HATPINs.
Seven Inches Not Long Enough for
Modern Millinery.

If 1 were hatpin manufacturer"

hercely at hat big enough for three
girls, I'D consult the milliners before
1 made up the seasons supply of pins
How in the world do they suppose we
can make these mammoth hats stay
on our heads If we only have these
tiny things to fasten them with?" And
she held up pin about seven inches
long. Might just as well try to keep
them on with common pin. You
stick this hatpiu in one side Of your
hat and it doesn't come out at all. II
just stays with it's point imbedded in
your hair somewhere, and your hat
Wobbles every step you take. It's no
use using three or four pins if they
won't reach clear across your hat
They'll just meet in the center and get
all tangled up with one another. I've
spent all the morning on a hunt for a
hatpin long enough to be of any use
at all, and there's none in the market.
So / suppose my nerves will be worn
to a fragile this winter stabbing and
1abbing with these baby hatpins in an
endeaVor to make them OF some use,
and I'll look like fright with my hat
ooobing All over my head
