KENTUCKY RAINS Do
100000 DAMAGE

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 29.-Follow-
ing yesterdays heavy rain in Louisville
and many sections of the state. there
was a precipitation of nearly 1 inch in
Louisville this morning. 1t has rained
in this section of the state nearly ev-
cry day for five weeks and the damage
to crops is mounting high. some au-
thorities placing .-.e loss to farmers
and to railroads thus far this season at
$4,000, 900.
There was a rainfall OF 5.27 inches
at Beaver Dam, KY. yesterday; Earring
ton reports 3.17; Bowling Green 1.S0;
greensboro LIS and Bardstown LIZ.
Railroad traffic in the southwestern part
of the state is practically at a stand
still, the Louisville, Henderson and St.
Louis railroad being practically out Of
commission, owing to 10 washouts in
the vicinity of Hawesvilie. The Illi-
nois Central is also experiencing difi-
Guilty in moving its trains IN that Sec
ton of the state.
A fast passenger train on the Louis
vile, Henderson and St. Louis railroad
was forced to stop on account Of the
storm and while the train was standing
the torrents of water washed the dirt
from under the track. The engine and
one coach were struck by lightning but
no one was injured.

BUTCHERS PLAN TO LOWER
THE PRICE OF MEAT

CHICAGO, July Blower prices of
meats will be brought about IL the plans
of the United States Butchers Of America
are put into successful operation.
The retailers declare that the packer is
to blame for the high prices Of meat and
now plan to prove II by eliminating that
individual entirely.
John H. Schofleld. secretary of the
butchers national organization, says an
attempt will be made at the convention
here August Is to IS TO organize and es-
tablish Independent cooperative abbat-
toirs, rendering plants and tanperies and
he expects arrangements to be made for
trying the experiment in Chicago.
THE question has been under consid-
Grafton for some time and we now feel
certain that the project will go through, "
he said. This move will enable the re-
tail butcher to operate independently. We
propose TO kill all our cattle and to mar
ket the by-products. With the great
profit that would accrue from the by
products, we would be able. to retail meat
to the consumer at least 30 per cent
cheaper than the prices now asked and
still make a healthy profit"

former secretary OF the treasury, who
had been critically I'll for the past two
days. died at his apartments in New
York. at 1850 o'clock last night. of heart
failure, accompanied by oedema OF the
lungs.
An intestinal complaint OF long stand
ing, which wore down his vitality. lay
behind the technical fact Of heart failure.
He was attacked last spring by the same
trouble. complicated by an ailment of
the kidneys, and for a time novered near
death. But his remarkable vitality tri-
umphed then. as 1t seemed IT might even
in the illness which ended tonight.

FARMERS RESENT 15-CENT
COTTON CLAIM OF BROWN
Continued from Page One

Brown can accomplish such things, why
not abandon the union, change the state
constitution and elect the governor for
the rest Of his natural life?
The Farmers union has taught the
farmers OF the state OF Georgia and other
states the wisdom OF diversified crops,
with the result that the Georgia farmers
are today raising necessaries OF life which
they formerly bought. Also the union
has impressed upon the farmers OF the
necessity and wisdom of properly har-
vesting and marketing their cotton crops,
with the result that they. and not the
gamblers. have been enabled to largely
control the price OF the commodity.
Governor Browns friends either pur-
posely or ignorantly overlook these facts
In making such claims as they are send
Ing out. I am satisfied. however, that
the farmers will regard such statements
as a reflection upon their intelligence,
and weigh them accordingly"

The Wonderful Victory OF a
CHICAGO Woman

Some wears ago Chicago turned over
q new leaf and made a woman the prln-
cipal school superintendent of that great
city.
So marvellous were her achievements
ord so great her reforms that her name
went abroad as a success without par
aIlel. Chicago's public schools walked
IN to the highest notch in the scale Oh
excellence, and Mrs. Ella Flagg Young
was the moving spirit in the whole busl-
ness.
This year, when the National Educa-
tional association held its annual meet
ing a nominating committee went out
and presented the name of some man
teacher, whose name has escaped me,
and the nominating committee brought
q i'm. expecting the nomination to go
through as slick as grease.
But that convention had mind OF
it's own and claimed the right
to do some nominating on it's
own account, regardless of vest
pocket candidature, and when the bal
lots were counted, Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young was royalty selected from the
floor and solely on her merits.
For a year at least the National Edu-
cational association will be led and gov
erned by a woman, but Mrs. Young Is
fully capable and will do a great deal
TO convince the teaching pun''c that
sex is not the ruling factor in the
business. While politics - said to be
tnt corrupt for woman to enter the field
as a voter, 4 is as plain "a the nose IN
your fuce that teaching OF children is
something that women can do.

raising of sheep.
l am very well acquainted with the diff

wool-carder for many years.
1 found that wool from the cross be-

duced the highest grade o; wool. Sheep
of this kind do we'll in this climate.
1 sanction your voice on compulsory ed

error and turn quickly and put men In
