Paris Kentuckian-Citzen Nearly
every farmer asked as to the sit
uation is preparing TO raise tobacco
this year This is not only true in
Bourbon, but in nearly every other
county in this section. While there
Is no doubt that the weed will
bring a good price this year, yet
the farmer should stop and think
what a good price he would get
II he would put in other crops, say
big crop of corn. Today any
kind Of corn is bringing SO a barrel
in the crib, and buyers take 1t
as 1t comes too. We believe, from
telks with prominent dealers, that,
owing to the fact that so much
tGDacco will be planted this year,
good crops of corn will more likely
hing close to IS a barrel next fall.
Al any rate it is matter well worth
thinking over while everybody Isl
building barns and preparing to
raise tobacco.

INHERITANCE TAX PANACEA,

NEW YORK, July 15.-The Outlook
out today, has an article by Theodore
Roosevelt entitled Give Me Neither
Poverty Nor Riches" 1t says in part:
1t is to be wished that some of those,
who preach and practice Il gospel of
mere materialism and greed and who
speak as if the heaping up of wealth
by the community or by the individual
was III itself the-au and end-au of life,
would learn from the most widely read
and Oldest books that true wisdom which
teaches that it is well to have neither
great poverty nor great riches
The movement which has become so
strong during the past few years to Sc
cure ON behalf of the nation both an
adequate supervision of and an effective
taxation of vast fortunes, so far as their
business use is concerned, is a healthy
movement. 1t aims TO replace sullen dis
content, restless peSsimism and evil prep
aration for revolution, by an aggressive,
healthy determination to get to the bot
tom of our troubles and remedy them.
The multimillionaire is not per Sc
healthy development in this country. If
his fortune rests on a basis of wrong
doing, he is Il far more dangerous Grim
NAL than any of the ordinary types of
criminals can possibly be. If his for
tune is the result of great service rem
dered, well and good; he deserves re
spect and reward for such seryice-al-
though we must remember to pay our
homage to the service itself, and not to
the fortune which is the mere reward of
the service, but when his fortune is
passed on to some one else who has not
rendered the service, then the nation
should impose heavily graded progress

DEEPEST HOLE BORED.
Prospectors. on Marquette Iron Range
Drill to Depth of 1865
Feet

REPUBLIC. Mich, July 15.-[Special. ]
A notable achievement has just beer
recorded on the Marquette iron range
1t was the boring of the deepest diamond
drill hole ever put down anywhere or
the North American continent. A depth
of 1866 feet was attained. The deepest
hole ever bored heretofore was put down
in Arizona a year or more ago. That
one was bottomed at approximately
1850 feet.
The Marquette range hole was drilled
on lands which George J. Mas and asso.
ciates are exploring for iron ore in the
vicinity of M. A. Hanna & Co.'S Ameri
can mine. in the territory to the east
Of Republic. 1t required six months
steady work to penetrate to the depth
of 1865 feet, and only because the work
was in the hands of the most skilled
opera tors was the task accomplished.
How many carats of diamonds were
used is information that is not divulged
but considering the fint-like nature
of the formation and the great depth at
tanned it is not at all improbable that
the carbons with which the drill bits
were set represented a value of some
thousands of dollars.
