Their Own Fault.


II Is possible for a woman 10 look
well, even in practical motor clothes,
but a study OF scores Of fair motor
women forces one to admit ruefully
that while the thing may be possible
it isn't probable.
Few motorwomen have the trig
neatness which gives the proper
sporty air to a motor toilette, and
even admitting that the quaint ana
the picturesque have their place in
motor apparel few women wear their
quaintness and picturesqueness con-
yincingly; few understand the clever
manipulation of veil or hood, the pos
sibilities in color and line.
In the luxurious cars that roll round
the city streets one sees delightful
visions, but all things are possible for
that sort Of motoring-big hats, grace
fully draped; envelopng cloaks, fut.
tering scarfs and feathers that would
be an unmitigated nuisance in more
spirited versions of the popular sport.
Few women seem able to get them
selves up i'm motor costumes al once
practical and becoming, and yet as
one makes the rounds of the shops
one sees a surprising number OF at.
tractive coats and hats and bonnets
and hoods intended for motor wear.
Evidently the fault is with the wearer,
not with the designer.

Duties of Marriage.

Father Vaughn has been talking TO
London society about its shortcom'
ings. He expresses the belief that
"the married state is the best" Peo-
pie who ask others to marry them, or
accept a proffer of marriage, also IN
cline othis opinion. Such inclination
accounts for their course.
However, the counsel he gives IS
excellent. 1t includes the rule that a
husband shall be sweet and sympa-
thetic with his wife, permit her 10
talk all she wants to talk, protect ner
and make love to her.
He would have the wife keep her
home in order and her temper, be
neat and Smart" never nag and never
keep the husband waiting.

According TO a Government botau'

illustrates his meaning in this way:
Suppose the average life of an indi.

years; then a bud removed when the
parent plant is 80 years old will also
be virtually so years of age, and If

The Burley Tobacco Pool.

AS the time for closing the BurIey
Tobacco pool for the 1909 crop is draw
ing near, and feeling that the matter
is of vital interest to Bourbon county
growers who have not entered thu
pool, we publish the following ex
tracts of letters from the press com
mittee to the newspapers of the Burley
District, viz:
THAT the growers, the community
and county in which they live, as vel
as every business interest of the State
have been greatly benefited by the
growers organization, you must adj
nit.
THAT the 1909 pool is still greater
benefit and more complete success is
evidenced by the price at which tobac.
co outside of the pool being bought by
the Independent manufacturers, COM
mission warehouse companies and
spectators. 1t is positive assurance
that the Burley Tobacco Society, back
ed as it is by at least sixty per cent OF
the growers of BGrley tobacco, is now
in position to demand and receive fair
and remunerative prices for the tobac-
co owned by its members.
1.-The average price of ID to Is cents
per pound now being paid for unpool-
ed tobacco is in itself an admission
that the growers in the Burley pool
are in position to sell their tobacco
at substantial advance over the
prices named for unpooled tobacco.
Would speculator pay Is cents
per pound for tobacco in the barn
tobacco not yet cured and in some
cases tobacco he has never seen-if he
were not fully convinced that the Bur-
ley Society pool would enable him to
sell at an advanced price?
Would manufacturer pay the same
price for individual crops if he were
not sure that he would be compelled
to pay more for the pooled tobacco
later on?
"Just how much more he will have
to pay for the pooled tobacco depends
entirely upon the length of time the
purchase of the pooled tobacco is de-
layed.
4 "No specified price has been set on
the pooled tobacco. 1t is in the hands
of the Burley Tobacco Society to sell
Ito the best advantage. The price of
pooled tobacco will be governed by the
price set by trade on outside tobacco.
1t is evident that the trust consid-
ers 15c per pound smaller price than
it will have to pay for pooled tobacco,
otherwise it would not touch it, for
there is TO doubt but that every pound
of tobacco produced in 1909 will be
needed by the manufacturers. before
another crop is grown. The hurley
Tobacco Society has the advantage of
knowing his condition to exist.
'You also know that with the large
crop grown this year, were it no for
the pool of the Burley Tobacco Society,
the cry of 'oversproduction would put
the priced own to less than cents per
pound, for have not the independent
manufacture. in their suits against the
Burley Tobacco Society, asked the
United States Courts to rule that Bur-
ley tobacco is worth only cents, and
that any sum above that price is 'ex-
.cessive charge
