TO-DAY's ELECTION /
GuLhrie Ky aug. %. l9Og.

Guthrie Ky, Aug. %, 1909
/ Planters Protective Association Of
Kentucky. Tennessee and Virginia,
Incorporated
Office Of F. G. Ewing Gen. Man'g'r.
I The election for District Chairmen
of the above named association are
to be held at the public voting place
of each district of every county in
the association. Sept date. between
10 and 4 o'clock. The election can
be held by the present incumbent, or
in the event there is no one holding
this position in any one of the said
districts, then the county chairman
can designate some reliable man to
hold said election, after he has taken
the oath herewith before a notary
public for the proper conduct of such
election. No one is eligible to vote
who is not tobacco planter. and
who is not a member of the associa-
ton. Any man who has signed the
old pledge and has not violated it is
eligible to vote, but any man who
violated the old pledge is not eligible
to vote unless he signs the new
pledge.
The district chairman, or whoever
conducts the election in any district
should be furnished with an ample
number of pledges, so that those
who come to the election and have
not pledged can sign the new pledge
before they vote. These pledges
should be very carefully preserved,
and turned over to the secretary of
the county who will tabulate them
and then send to the general secreta-
ry at Guthrie. There should be no
election held in any district which
does not raise tobacco, uotwithstand
ing it may be a tobacco county. 1t is
understood that there are number
of counties which it is not necessary
to name specifically, that have such
a small membership and pledge so
little tobacco to the ASSOCIATION, that
it becomes a question for future
consideration as to whether these
counties will be admitted to the as
ISOLATION, therefore the fact Of an
election being in such county is not
to be considered a contract that such
county or any member therein shall
be admitted, but it is deemed advis-
able that all counties heretofore and

The September Everybody's

Everybody's September number
opens with a quaint child story,
Happiness, by Mary Raymond
Shipman Andrews. This delicate
little yarn is long way from Mrs.
Andrews famous story of a clergy
mans adventures with a humorous
ly intoxicated college friend, said to
have been taken from an experience
of her brothers, the Rev. Percy
Shipman. But although in her new
form Mrs. Andrews strikes no note
of fun, she does touch note of hu-
man feeling that will linger just as
long in the memory. What Shall
We Do With the Old?" is given the
place of honor on the title page in
line us an Old Mother Less Precious
than an Old SOLDIER" The problem
of dignifed old age, with some
measure of independence, is one that
troubles the sleep of half of humani-

the spread also of health to the

lnt.lIiaenes Of insects.

The mental processes of the morse
and the dog are those of man In much
lower degree. in the view Of Professor
n. A. Harvey of Michigan. but the In
teligence of insects must be OF very
different kind. The double nerve cord
and gangila differ both in structure
and position from the brain and spinal
cord Of man. Insects eyes are im-
movable aud compound and perceive
motion and color. but not form. Ants.
bees. wasps and other insects have not
hearing. Taste and smell cannot be
identical with those senses In man. and
feeling is perception through touch
hairs instead Of the skin. But insects
have very acute senses that we do not
possess. A cecropia moth can perceive
a female mile or more away, al
though a man could not detect II un-
der the same conditions at distance
OF more than six inches. and ants. bees
and wasps seem to have other senses
located. like this. In the antennae. DIFF
fering from man In general structure.
with shorter lives and different living
the insects have intelligence that.

for us to understand.-New York

BURDENS LIFTED
From Snow Hill Backs Relief Proved
by Lapse of Time.

Backache is heavy burden;
Nervousness wears one out;
Rheumatic pain; urinary ills;
All are kidney burdens
Daily effects of kidney weakness.
No use to cure the symptoms,
Relief is but temporary If the cause
remains.
Cure the kidneys and you cure the
cause.
Relief comes quickly-comes to stay.

Cure sick kidneys permanently.
Here's proof that you can verify.

"You are at liberty to use my name as
nne who recommends Doan's Kidney
Pills highly About eighteen months
ago, when having considerable trouble
from disordered kidneys, ! procured a
supply of Doan's Kidney Pills and the
use Of about four boxes completely
cured me. At that time gave public
statement recommending the remedy
