held at 500 an acre and over. In
North Dakota, it is an exception to
pay more than $35, and the average
price is between $40 and $25. What
causes this difference?
Is it because the land is any bet
ter?
Is it because the yield is larger
here?
Is it because the farm improve
ments are better?
Is it because Illinois roads are
better?
Some of the best land that | know
OF is along the Red River and it
yields more in bushels to the acre
with less work than any Illinois land
Some of the finest farm buildings
that have ever seen are in North
Dakota and some of the poorest

What then, makes the difference?
The reason is that down here, you

NEAT LITTLE PICKUP.

When it became known that he could live but a short time, MT. Lewis Overholtzer of Emmitsburg, Md, called his daughter to his bed side and told her to go up in the at tic of the house and raise the top from a certain step, under which would be found a tin box. She did as directed and found the tin box, which contained $3,0O0 in gold and silver. The box and its contents had been placed under the step for safe keeping during the civil war and had not been disturbed since. The fam fly knew nothing of the hidden treasure and were much surprised to recover it. MT. Oyerholtzer died a few weeks ago.

We are intensely proud of the popularity of our governor. His message seems to have struck a keynote everywhere in the state and to have attracted favorable at tention throughout the nation.
 Practically every paper we have re- ceived during the past week-and there are more than a hundred of them-has contained editorial com mendation of George w. Dona- ghey. The fact that he has not yet granted single pardon is es- pecially gratifying to everyone ex- cept those directly interested in se-
 curing pardohs. The unanimity
 with which his administration is being praised and the confidence which the people express in him increase tremendously the respon- abilities of his office, but at the same time make them easier to shoulder. We have no fear that Donaghey will not "make good. 7"

DESTRUCTION OF PARASITES.

F. von Strantz has obtained a Ger man patent for a process of destroy ing insects on plants by the applica- tion of mixture of lime water and the ammoniacal liquor of gas works. The patentee states that neither lime nor ammonia, used alone, is a certain insecticide in dilute solution, and that strong solutions are injurious to plants, especially green plants, but that mixed solutions of the two al- klis, too weak to do any damage to the plant, infallibly destroy all in- sect parasites.

Judge Lankford is to be com mended for the manner in which he has dispatched the business of the present term of circuit court. Four murder cases finally dis posed of is an unprecedented rec ord for the county. It would have taken many courts twice as long to complete the docket which con fronted Judge Lankford. And we believe that as a whole, justice was just as nearly meted out to the va- rious litigants as if the conrt had been in session two months instead of two weeks. Not only the court, but the clerk and the sheriff and their deputies, as we'll as the attor- neys and jurors, all of whom have labored hard night and day, are entitled to the thanks of the peo- pie for saving the county thousands of dollars.

We believe the fact that Faulk- ner county during the present sea son produced the largest crop of cotton in her history is as much due the scientific methods of agri- culture which were followed by many of our farmers as to any oth- CT factor, About 30 farms were cultivated in this county last year under the supervision of a govern ment expert. Each of these farms was an object lesson for miles around, and many other farmers followed the instructions given by the demonstrators. The pride of still others was aroused and by more careful cultivation they showed that without government instruction they could raise better crops. It is safe to say, we be lieve, that 1000 more bales of cot ton were produced than would
 have been without this stimulus.
 Here, then, is nearly $50, 900 add ed to the wealth of the county. One hundred and fifty of these demonstration farms will be culti- vated this year, and State Agent J. A. Evans estimate that they will be worth SIoo, ,ooo to the county is, we think, low one.

set forth that there are about So

The call in part follows:
Let us organize that we may
be able to communicate our ideas
to each other; that we may inn
prove ourselves educationally,
civically and politically. We
want a Statewide organization
with headquarters in either Louis
vile or Lexington, and meet an

districts are represented on the

BURDENS
In Thlrd-ClaSS Cities Discuss
ed--Damage Suits, Much Tax
alton and Useless Offices
Could Be Eliminated.

Legislation which will relieve
the municipal corporations of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky of
much of their burdens of damage
suits, taxation and the support of
useless offices was discussed at
length at a meeting of the May
ors of the third-class cities, who
convened in Frankfort on We'd
nesday, upon call of Mayor Hume.
Present were: Mayor O'Bryan,
of Greensboro; Mayor Harris, of
Henderson; Mayor Wilson and
City Attorney Thomas, of Bow
ling Green; Mayor Hume and
City Attorney William Cromwell,
Judge f. G. O'Rear, of the Court
of Appeals, who gave them sug-
gestions upon legislation which
they feel to be badly needed.
Mayor Hume was chosen chair
man and Mayor O'Bryan secretary.
1t was voted to hold meeting a
little later in Louisville, in which
the Mayors of all the cities of the
State will be invited to participate.
At that meeting legislation of
which all the municipalities feel
the need will be discussed and
drafted into the form of bills for
enactment by the next Legislature.
Judge O'Rear was asked to
draw up his suggestions in writ
ing that the Mayors might have
something tangible to present to
the larger meeting of the Mayors
of all class cities of the State at
Louisville. Judge O'Rear took
the position that the cities should
be made an arm of the State Gov
eminent, with many of the privi-
leges and benefits from such. Ex-
emptions of the cities from actions
for damages for alleged negligence
was one feature that was particu-
larry discussed and approved by
the Mayors. They argued that
the. State should have no privi-
leges in this regard that the cities
do not enjoy.
The Mayors wish to secure the
adjustment of several offices
which are useless, or the merging
of two or more offices with per-
haps slight increases in salary
paid for only one.

According to information it is
certain that plans are being made
by the Southern railroad in Ken

to Frankfort and make connec-
tions with the Frankfort & Gin
cinnati railroad. This means
that Frankfort is to have a new
railroad, one that is a competitor
of the l.. & n. 1t is said by those
who know, that the line from
Alton to Frankfort is practically
certain to be built within a short
time,
