FARMS ARE ROADS
TO INDEPENDENCE
Increasing Value of Land and
High Prices for Produce
Draw People to Country

THE latest and best sign in real
buy suburban home farms" say Stone
& Kendrick. and they add:
We'll improved small homes in Sun
shine valley are held at from $3.50 to
$500 per acre. according TO size, value
of improvements, etc. We have seen
these lands stand at about these prices
for many years and we know they are
as staple at the price named as $50
gold pieces.
The tendency is now upward, par
ticularly on unimproved land, and the
man who buys unimproved land today
at $500 an acre. with abundant water,
will reap not only the steadily increas-
ing value, but the large increase that
improvements and planting bring, and,
moreover, If he does his part his re-
turns from the land will take care of
the payments.
T considering the richness of the soil.
the abundance and certainty of water,
the extraordinarily favorable climate.
the excellent transportat ation facilities
and assured markets, the land we are
offering on easy terms. with immediate
possession, is cheap indeed, and its
purchase opens an avenue of escape
from the ceaseless drudgery OF city
life to the Independent farm life.
Conditions in the country have rad
ically changed. The high prices for
produce offers a great opportunity for
thousands of city dweuers to get farms
and earn more from this land than they
could do from day wages or Office work.
Most significant of all. the new food
conditions are permanent. Supply OF
land is fixed and population ever in
creases. In wealth, brain and brawn
the farmers dominate the whole Amer
lean people.
:-The suburban home farmer now
has the benefit of fast trains, metro
politan newspapers. trolley cars. rural
delivery. sanitary conveniences, schools.
churches, oranges, societies, every
thing that the city dweller has, and he
is independent. He owns land.
The back to the farm movement
is not sentimental, but is the logical
result of the ever present desires Of
the average man to own something, to
take care of his family, to leave some
thing behind him, coupled with fast in
creasing population, the wants of which
must be supplied from the soil.

In the words of Robert Louis Stew

Tobacco Beds Galore.
Extensive Prepal atoms Being
Made To Raise The Weed.

II farmers in other portions of the
county are making as extensive prepa-
tons for tobacco growing as the East
End soil tillers. then. indeed. this will
be the banner tobacco year for Lincoln
county. An |. j. man had occasion a
few days since to traverse part Of the
East End Of Lincoln county and was
struck with the number of beds that
may be seen from the Stanford and
Crab Orchard turnpike. Within dis
lance of about two miles he counted IL
beds ranging from so to 100 or It's feet
10 length and from three to six feet in
width. These beds lay within a shor
distance Of the turnpike. while far
away to the right and left, and almost
beyond the range Of vision, a strip Of
canvas looms up white against the dark
back. ground. which. if the times were
troublous, would be the guide post for
many a midnight rider. In the Dripping
Springs section the same conditions
can be seen. though OF q diminutive
scale. The soil is rather thin and to-
baeco raising there may be regarded
more in the nature Of an experiment
than a certainty. II. however. the
price of tobacco remains at the present
figure, the man who owns even gum
30" land can make some money, while
he Of the bluegrass will reap harvest
Of gold.

DEATH CHAIR.
ElectrOcutiOn at The State Peni-
Tertiary Takes Place of Callows

Death "by the rope" in Kentucky,
at least under lawful conditions, soon
will be thing of the past. as Governor
Wilson has approved the bill introduc-
ed by Senator Herman Newcomb. which
substitutes electrocution as the means
of inficting the death penalty. The
law also provides that such electrocu-
tions shall take place within the walls
of the State prison at Frankfort. This
does away with the ''hangman's day."
which has long been a recognized in
stitution in Kentucky. An execution
generally has been looked upon as a
grewsome show. Just how the prison
commissioners will provide for this
method of execution is a question. DIR.
Joe Bar. prison physician at Frankfort,
expressed the opinion that it would re-
quire an appropriation of $4,000 to
properly equip the penitentiary for the
eletrocution of condemned persons. This
appropriation was not made, and it will
be difficult matter to provide the
means under the present circumstances.
Kentucky has taken long step for
ward in the opinion of criminologists
in passing the Newcomb law. In d.
vorcing the State from the ancient and
repulsive method OF legal execution.
even when conducted as privately as
possible, the Commonwealth has taken
rank along with many other progress
siye States.

years the Kentucky Advocate, tri-

PROFESSIONAL WILL
COACH LOCAL TEAM
Stanford Boys to go After ANA
teur Base Ball Championship
OF State.

Stanford easily won the amateur base
ball championship Of Central Kentucky
last season, and plans are on foot this
season to put a still stronger team in
the field to go after all the honors in
sight. Arrangements have just been
concluded whereby the base ball team
Of the Stanford High School will secure
for term Of two weeks the services of
Arthur Long. as coach. Long was the
star outfielder of the Blue Grass
League for the past two seasons, play
ing in center for Frankfort. He was
the captain Of the Frankfort nine when
it won the pennant the first year of the
League and is one of the fastest men
and best diamond generals in the State.
He will report here the first week in
April and will be given full charge Of
the base ball squad at the school. He
will put the men in the positions for
which he considers them best qualified,
and run the team according to his own
ideas, which have always proven so
successful in the past.
Those who have seen the Stanford
boys in action say that a number of
the men are good enough right now to
go into the Blue Grass League with a
little training. Many believe Mike
Penny as good backstop as there is
in the Blue Grass, while Wesley Embry
and young Singleton are very effective
in the box. There are a number of
candidates for the different positions,
but the ones who make them on the
regular nine will be those who show
Coach Long best what they can do.
Prof. j. W. ireland, who will manage
the High School team, has already re-
eeived challenge from Lancaster for
series of two games to be played ear
ly in May. Those will probably be ac-
cepted with alacrity and others issued
to Danville. Harrodsburg and Law
renceburg. The Stanford fans are ca
ger for the formation of Central Ken
lucky Amateur League and are back
ing the boys here for all they are worth.
They believe that this years nine. af-
ter two weeks work under Mr.. Long,
will be able to hold its own with any
strictly home talent team in the State.

REASON FOR VETO
Many Appropriations Cut of BY

tons made by the General Assembly at

State. Gov. Wilson approved or al
lowed to become law. bills appropri.
ating that much money. OF this he al
lowed to become a law without his sig
nature total of s274, 1921. Adding
this amount of appropriations allowed.
to the deficit of 81, 1896 which al
ready exists, leaves, the governor says.
a deficit of s497. 07O.3s. The appropri-
atoms made. and allowed by the gov
ernor would require an increase in the
tax rate Of six cents if the amount is
paid. He says some of this can be
made up by reducing expenses.
