SOCIETY WOMEN
WANT BIG FEET

Berlin, August 2o.-(Special, TO have
large, healthy, beautiful feet" is the
ideal aimed at by a section of Munich
society women, headed by Boroness
Mohn. The baroness has founded the
Crosse F'uesse' Chg Foot society,
which is the result of her own reflections
on what she saw during a tour In the
Bavarian highlands. There women from
Berlin attempted to enjoy mountaineer-
ing wearing small French shoes with
high heels-the limit in unsuitability,
discomfort and absurdity.
The society has now several hundred
members who pledge themselves to appear
everywhere, even at dances and court
functions, in shoes of the largest possible
size, with sensible heels, and they fur
Their undertake to educate their children
in the same principles.

The question of the organic union of

lions have been inclined to believe that

lines. particularly in the missionary
field. where the churches are as one,
there is no reason to believe that there
bis any hope of organic union. Indeed

On January 5, Following
County Meetings
WHICH OCCUR NEXT SATURDAY
President Urges Growers Not
To Prepare to Plant a
Large Acreage.
GROWERS TO SETTLE MATTERS

The next regular meeting of the
Green River Tobacco Association will
meet January 5. The regular county
meeting will be held in each county
which compose the District Asocia-
ton, Saturday December 81, for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
district meeting the following Thurs
day, in Owensboro. These are very
important meetings and let each to-
baeco grower In the District attend
this county meeting and discuss such
propositions as pertain to the well
fare of the association.
The question has often been asked,
what is the association going to do
on the acreage proposition the COM
ing year? This is a question for the
growers to settle and let us be unit
ed on whatever we decide to do.
We feel the association is in fine
shape and the members are express
ing themselves as being well pleased
with the treatment they are receiv-
ing this year and let us as tobacco
growers not take advantage of the
situation and plant and raise more
tobacco this next year than the mar
ket here can take care of as we all
know the plan of the association is
now and always has been, not to
commence delivering any tobacco
until we have all of the tobacco
placed that is pooled with us.
There is no doubt but what there
can be, with a good crop, any
where from 35 to 40 million pounds
of tobacco handled in the GreenRiver
District, ut what will be the result
If we raise over the amount? These
are questions we have to consider,
so let us not forget these meetings
and be on hand and handle these
questions in such a way as would be
to the interest of the tobacco grow
ers of the Green River District, and
the good of our organization.

There being no tie vote, Chair
man Henry r. Prewitt had no vote
on either question. 1t had been I'M
derstood that Committeeman Rhea
was in favor of having the senator
ship nomination decided at the same
time as the nominations for other
offices, either in a primary or con-
ventiou, and much surprise was
manifested at the close of the ses-
sion when it was learned that he had
refused to vote on the proposition.
Had Mr.. Rhea voted as it was claim
ed all along he would vote, it would
have taken the vote of Mr.. Prewitt
to decide the question, and it is I'M
derstood that he would have voted
to include the senatorship race in the
primary. On this matter, however,
Chairman Prewitt refused to commit
himself, saying that, as the
matter was not put up to him In
the meeting, he did not care to dis
cuss any action he might have taken
under other circumstances.
Frank A. Lyon, committeeman
from the Tenth district, offered the
resolution calling for a primary to
be held on saturday, May 27th.
When it was seen that the resolution
had carried, motion was made by
one of the advocates of the primary
plan to make the decision unani-
nous, but Committeeman McDonogh
and Spalding refused to cast their
votes accordingly and the vote stood
as originally cast.

MISSISSIPPI so LOW
THAT MEN WADE 1T

The Mississippi river, the once
great father of waters" has estab-
lished a new low water mark, meas
urements made last week at some
points and earlior in the month at
other points, showing a stage below
that reached in 1864.
So low has the river been at sew
eral places men have waded across
without getting their necks wet. Nav
igation during the summer and fall
was seriously interfered with be
tween st. Louis and st. Paul, and
previously submerged sandbanks
presented the unusual sight of vege-
tation growing luxuriantly on their
surfaces.
The latest result of the low water
has been the freezing of the river
from bank to bank in weather that
ordinarily does not have that result,
and livery service across the river on
the ice has been established at some
places.
