ence which will be assembled ln
Lexington Sept. 29th., and 3Oth.,
for the purpose of forming
State Association to carry on the
Anti.Tuberculesis m ov m e n t
through all parts of the State ~
There are only six Anti-Tuber-
culosis Association in the entire
State and each of these has been
impelled to confine all Its efforts
to It's own City and County. The
organization formerly known as
the Kentucky Anti-Tubeculosis
Association having changed its
name to theRLouisville Anti-Tu-
berculosis Association, the need
of State organization has be-
come very great, and through no
other means can the OamDaign
be carried out as it should be.
1t is estimated by those promi-
nent in this movement, that
there are more than 10000 Con-
sumptives IN Kentucky at the
present time, and there are less
than 100 beds in all the State for
the treatment of the disease. In
addition to the institution need
ed for the treatment of sufferers,
a great deal of educational work
must be done through the teach
ing of precautionary measures to
be taken by those exposed, in or
der to prevent others from being
stricken.
Several hundred delegates Will
be In attendance at the Lexlng-
ton Conference and number OF
addresses by eminent specialists
from other States will be deliver
ed.
A local Association will doubt
less be formed here within the

PROSPERITY

Average American LabOrer
Lives Better Than Did Queen

WESTERN FARMERS PUTTING
MONEY INTO VARIOUS BUSINESSES

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE
average laborer is to-day living
better than Queen Elizabeth did
in her Time" said Secretary
Wilson Of the Agricultural De-
partment to-day, on his return
from a months vacation on his
farm In Town. He was discus
sing the prosperous condition OF
the farmers of the West and the
high wages of the working man
in the East.
"Take the meat bills of the
laborer in Washington to-day"
he continued. "You viii find
that they eat meat three times a
day-most of them-and, what
is more, they are not content
with any kind: they want the
best cuts. They can afford them.
As a result the price of meat is
away up. While the farmers
are producing more beef every
year, they are not producing
enough to meet the increase In
population. | do not look for
the prices to decrease materially
SOON"
The Secretary was asked if the
Western farmers were really in
vesting such large sums of
money in automobiles.
'sThere is TOO much truth in
. .hose reports he responded.
'sThSaar,der is out of debt; he
has paid for his farm, his fences
and his machinery. He has
money in his pockets, and big
crops continue to come on. He
is afraid to invest in Eastern
securities, lest year might
bring trouble there. As a re-
suit, he puts his money in lux

CORNERSTONE
OF A THEATER
Occasion in IS47 When Entire
Official Family Of United
States Attended.
BUILDING wAsALs0 FOR USE
or NASHVILLE ODD FELLOWS.

The Nashville American pub
fishes a Renaissance of the lay
ing of the cornerstone of an old
theater in 1S47, at which the en-
tire official family OF the United
States was present.. An old
manuscript describing the cere-
mony says:
cornerstone of the building
for the use of the Order of In
dependent Odd Fellows was laid
on Tuesday, the first of June,
'1847. Aims donated in the
presence of the Most Worthy
Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge, the encampment of Pat
riarchs and subordinate lodges
of the State of Tennessee amid
the reclamation of the citizens
Of Nashville
Names of slgners and of the
Committee on Building follow
"The following officials were
present:
"James K. Polk, President of
the United States; George NJ.
Dallas, Vice President; James
Buchanan. Secretary of State !;
Robert G. Walker, Treasurer !;
John G.. Wilson, Secretary or
Navy; William G. McNair,
Secretary of War; Cave john
SON. Postmaster General; Ma
\ ban Clifford, Attorney General I;
Aaron V. Brown, Governor of
the State of Tennessee"
The American continues:
To those of the present day
these names, with two or three
exceptions, are unknown, but
there are doubtless many of the
older generation of theatergoers
who will recall many of them.
While it was the first step to-
ward erecting a new theater
building, the fact that such a
distinguished assemblage was
present was due also to the fact
that it was under the direction
of the Odd Fellows. Yet there
have been few occasions in this
city in which the entire official
family of the United States has
been present, and this was one
of them.
Thus it was that on a bright,
sunny day in June, 1S47, the
cornerstone Of playhouse was
laid--a playhouse which was
destined to be honored in after
years by the acting of Forrest,
Mccullough, Booth, Davenport,
jefferson, and many others who
have made glorious the tradi-
tons of the American stage.
