Good Roads Amendment Carried.

Official tabulation of the vote cast at
the last election by the State Board of
Election Commissioners Monday after
noon at Frankfort showed that the
good roads amendment to the constitu-
ton carried by majority of $500. This
will be the majority certified to by the
Secretary of State by the election com
mission and will be final, although
some counties did not send in their vote
on the amendment. Even counting the
vote in the missing counties the good
roads amendment will have majority
of at least 1000.
The result was accomplished by Cen
trail and Eastern counties, the West be-
ing against the measure.
Under the terms of the amendment
the commonwealth credit may be:loan.
ed counties, making county bonds loI
road improvements marketable and in
surfing the financing of the project.
1t has been generally believed thai
the amendment was defeated.

THE RESOLUTIONS:

Elizabethtown, KY, Nov. "a, 1909
We, the Burley Tobacco Growers in
convention assembled at Elizabethtown
representing the tobacco growers in
what is known as the Elizabethtown
District, respectively, Hart, Hardiu, La
Rue, Green, Metcalf, Breckenridge,
Meade, Bullitt, Taylor, Barren, Adair,
Grayson counties, resolve as follows:
Whereas, Being deeply sensitive of the
fact that the pooling Of the 1906 and 1907
crops of Burley Tobacco raised the price
of tobacco one hundred per cent in this
our district, thereby benefittlng us and
all growers, and whereas,
We also recognize that the only pro-
per means of permanently esta blishing
profitable price is through a close
organization, and whereas,
We are indebted to the growers of
Central Kentucky for the enhanced
prices on our product beg to resolve as
follows
First--We appreciate their sacrifice
and we acknowledge that we have been
mill stone about their necks in their
efforts, but take this means of assuring
them that we are now with them in this
fight, although it may seem that we
have been a little slow in getting up to
the firing line.
Secondly-Now that we are in the
front ranks we propose to assure them
that we will strain every effort to do
more than to hold up our end of the log
and will be found at the roll call holding
our 1909 crop.
Thirdly-Although certain things
have transpired in the last few days
that would ordinarily cause uneasiness
within our ranks, we want it distinctly
understood that we still have unlimited
confidence in our matchess leader,
Clarence LeBus, and the whole Ex-
ecutive Committee, and say to him and
his Board to fight it out on this line and
we are behind him until we have crossed
the Rubicon.
Fourthly-It is further resolved that
copies of this resolutions be furnished
the various county papers Of the Eliza
BEETHOVEN District, the Louisville Daily
and Evening papers and a copy sent to
Mr.. LeBus and his Executive Com
mittee.

WOMEN'S CLUBS
Flourish Best In Small Towns
They Can Be Made A Great
Factor Ia Village I'm
prOyement.

The strength of club life is in the
little towns of America, where distrac-
tons can not be bought for a few
dollars or found without cost in the
passing show of the city streets and
shops, a writer in the New Idea Wowan S
Magazine for December points out. The
village woman has made the club count
and she has developed it from small be-
ginni ies into one of the biggest in
fuences OF town life. Village improve
ment societies, civic declarations, the
work of women on the school boards, all
owe their origin to the little club, where
a few women met together to talk things
over.
The American village can be as ex-
uisite and restful a place as the heart
can long for. In the older parts OF the
county it rivals the long exploited
English town. But there is work to do
in the old, and more work to do IN the
new towns, to create and preserve the
beauty that we have to make in
America, now that our pioneer daya are
over. Women have bo,h the taste and
the time necessary to devote to the work,
and the village Improvement societies in
their charge have undertaken the clean
ing and restoring of the towns until they
shine like the homes of the model
housewife.
Down the long street of the country
village the summer visitor wandered,
inquiring, "Why Elm StreetS' when
not an elni-tree shaded the road.
In another season the improvement
society had planted small elm in the
diamond square at the top of the street
to take the place of the great tree which
had long ago given the street its name.
The women of our country towns are
saving the trees and preserving
historical sites and places. They are
making themselves felt as power and
influence for good, and at the same time
they are securing for themselves the
"outside interest,"" which conquers one
OF the most important of the Women
Problems.

APPEAL TO
THE GROWERS.
Made By Secretary Shaw Of The
Home Warehouse Company.
Urges That Tobacco Be
Stripped And Classified
In AS Many Grades
AS Crop Shows.
REMINDS THEM OF BIG CHANGE.

Secretary Emison Shaw, of the Home
Warehouse company, has addressed the
following timely and urgent appeal to
the members of his association, which
begins delivering its 1909 pooled crop
to Gallaher, Limited, on Monday.
Il hope all tobacco growers who have
pooled their tobacco realize that a great
change has taken place in our accus-
toned mode of picking and grading to-
bacco for wagon deliveries. 1t used to
be when the buyer came to your house,
he examined the tobacco to his own
satisfaction, and made you an offer, say
S., IS and 81. If his offer was accepted
you usually entered into a contract
with him to cover all grades at the stip-
ulated price; especially, if you had a
large proportion of fine tobacco and a
reasonably small amount, off in color
and quality, or, if the proportion of
your low grade was too large, another
price was fixed on that and you pro-
ceeded to strip, making only three divis-
ions of each grade, leaf, Tugs and trash,
with nothing to guard against except
to keep your leaf and Jugs clear of trash
and deliver it in good handling order as
per your contract. Now however, the
sun has set on those old practices and
you are doing business on an entirely
new plane-that of selling your tobacco
through agencies created and approved
by yourself.
Now those agencies have accepted
samples made up by "The Trade" into
five grades of leaf and Tugs, each sample
representing its own grade only, and
all differences to be adjusted by the
grader. Should difference of judg-
ment arise between grader and receiver
then such difference is to be settled by
the assistance of third party. Under
these circumstances it behooves you, if
you desire to give as little trouble as
possible to your grader and receive the
| full value of your tobacco, to strip and
classify your tobacco into as many
grades as your crop shows. Let your
minds be impressed with this fact and
think you will be pleased with the re-
suits. Another thing to which | wish
to call your attention is that all tobacco
damaged by improper handling and
care is unsold and should you deliver
any such damaged tobacco it will be
graded and priced as damaged and
should you not be willing to accept the
grade price on such tobacco you will
have the right to place it on the market
where you will.
The Gallagher, Limited, warehouse
will be open to receive tobacco pooled
by the Home Warehouse company on
Monday, November 2e, 1909. No to-
bacco will be received on any Saturday
except. such as may be left over on Fri
day."

Secretary and Treasurer of "Home

Balanced Ration Explained.

The New York station explains the
use of the balanced ration for COWS
In ii most sensible way as follows:
The nutritive ratio, or in other
words. the protein supply for feed
Ing milch cows. is a subject which is
Just now receiving a great deal of at
tention. There is undoubtedly re-
action against feeding standards.
largely, l feel sure, because the place
and function of these standards were
so long time misunderstood. Much
is said about balanced ration, which
is to be applied to all animals under
all conditions. There is, however. no
such thing as balanced ration uni
versally applicable. The needed pro-
tein supply for the forty-pound COW,
capable of producing fourteen pounds
OF butter per week, is entirely differ
ent from that of the average COW
producing 200 pounds OF butter per
year. Equally true is it that thirty
pounds of rich milk make a much
larger demand upon the protein sup
ply than thirty pounds of poor milk.
A balanced ration then, in the true
sense, is the one that is adapted to
the work of particular individual
animal.
