Dies At 40.

Aunt Celia" Lillard, who died
in Bowling Green, Ky, at the age
of ITO years, was by many years
the oldest person in Warren county
and perhaps in the State. She was
the first member of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church ever
known among the negro race.
When she was freed she estab-
lished a church of that faith, build
ing the structure with the money
furnished by her white friends,
and was a leading member of the
organization as long as her health
would permit.

SENATOR BRADLEY
Declines To Discuss Politics Dur
ing His Stay in Louisville.

William O. Bradley, United
States Senator, reached Louis
vile few days ago from Wash
ington after an absence of sever
al months, and from the time of
his arrival he has been at his desk
in his office in the Kentucky Title
building going oyer the mass of
mail that had accumulated since
the adjournment of Congress.
All of the mail for the junior
Senator from Kentucky was sent
to his Louisville Office by his cor
respondents from every section of
the country after the adjourn
ment of Congress, and the fact
that he spent some time in the
East before returning to Ken
lucky accounted for the heavy
mail awaiting him.
Senator Bradley refused to dis
cuss politics in any way, saying
that he wished to forget some of
the political strife of the past few
months during his stay in Louis
vile. He said he likely would
remain in Louisville looking after
his law business until the Deem
Der session of Congress. While
it is not known what part, if any,
Senator Bradley will take in the

LOWER MEAT.
Packer Says Production is Not
Keeping Pace With Population.

Predicting the reduction of meat
prices all along the line-in time,
j. Ogden Armour, the brains of
the Beef Trust, has returned from
two months trip to Europe. He
absolved the packers, his fellows,
from blame for present high pri-
ces, and firmly placed it upon the
shoulders of old reliable, every
ready existing conditions"
Then who is?" asked the re-
porter. The poor farmer?"
mo, indeed, never the poor
farmer" assured Mr.. Armour.
1T is all the fault of existing con-
ditions. You know how our pop
ulation has been increasing-a
regular multiplication table propo-
sition. We simply have not been
raising enough cattle and hogs and
sheep, or enough corn and fodder
to feed the stock.
When we get more cattle and
more grain, we will have lower
prices. These things will adjust
themselves, but it is going to take
some time. How long? Well, it
won't be this year. You can't
change such conditions over night.
Next year? Perhaps. But one
thing is sure, every one of we
packers is hoping for low prices,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1910-07-13

just as feverently as the woman
who visits the butchershop.
Cant the tariff help?" the re-
porter asked innocently.
THE tariff, | don't think it can.
They talk about Australian meat
and all that. 1t is not the same
kind of meat. We have tried it
and Americans don't like it. That
is one of our national traits that
leads to high prices. We want
the best there is, and that surely
isn't Australian meat. No, we'll
have to work out our own low
price salvation without the assis-
lance of the tariff"
Mr.. Armour has no quarrel with
the railroads because they have
put up the rates to the packers.
Il believe the railroads are JUS
titled in raising their freight rates
to the seaboard," he declared. Il
find on investigation abroad that
our railroad rates are wonder
fully low. The roads have been
giving us fair deal. The high
price of foodstuffs made it neces.
sary for them to raise wages, and

they could not do that without
raising the rates. So there you
are.

JIM jtfFhifS
Should Have Said "MiSter John
son Turn Me Loose"

James j. Jeffries, vending his
way back to the alfalfa after his
humiliating argument with Jack
Johnson at Reno probably regrets
that when he retired to the farm
he didn't stay retired. True, he
carries with him bunch of money
that will help to heal the sore
places, but this is no balm for the
soreness within.
1t is estimated that Jeffries'
share of the spoils is Sl15, 400. In
other words, he fought for an hour
at the rate of 81 900 a minute or
whereabouts. Judging from the
press reports, he earned the money.
1T was a tragedy" says Rex
Beach. "Jeffries was a pitiful
sight" says Jack Loudon. Il felt
so sorry | cried like a baby" says
Bob Fitzsimmons. Doubtless
there were many others too full
for utterance.
One sporting editor describes
Jeffries as "a heart-broken, dis
appointed man on whom the agony
of defeat was written in lines more
strongly than pen can describe"
some OF this agony may be attrib-
uted to the wells inflicted by his
antagonists fists and it is probable
that Jefries comes nearer having
broken head than a broken heart
but all the same he must feel a
good deal of humiliation over his
failure to come back" 1t is
quite natural that he should say
Il will never fight any more" 1t
is likely that he reached that de-
cision before "NIiStah Johnson"
turned him assuming that
he had any powers of decision left
after his first collision with the
animated lump of charcoal now
being toasted and eulogized in
DarktOwn.
Outside of Bob Fitzsimmons and
those confding individuals who bet
their money on Jef'ries few tears
will be shed for the fallen pugilis-
tic idol. Even Bob Fitzsimmons'
tears, there is reason to believe,
didn't amount to many bucketfuls,
in the aggregate. As for the nov
eIists and the sporting writer's, it
is part of their business to discover
things tragic and pathetic. But
there is no doubt that Jeffries is
sore externally and internally, and
is mighty sorry he was tempted to
leave the alfalfa. As he journeys
back to the farm he is in fine
mood for reflection and for realiz-
alton that age and pugilism do not
tarry long together and that back
number fighters do not carry home
the bacon. Courier journal.

Surprise.

At the end of the fiscal year,
June 30, the total receipts of the
State Treasurer shows $751;, 900
less than in 1909. This showing
caused a surprise among State
officials, as it was expected there
would be an increase, as the assess
ments had been raised by the
Board of Equalization and revenue
agents had been unusually active
during the year.

DANGEROUS BUSINESS
To Send Your Paper Through the
Mails Unless Subscription is
Paid Up.

Special agents of the Postoffice
Department are travelling around
over the country dropping into
newspaper offices when least ex-
pected to examine subscription
lists, to ascertain if the regulation
requiring payment of subscriptions
is being observed. Several Iowa
newspapers have been in trouble
and here is a case told by the
Desmoines Capitol:
Editor FAY, of Lyons, Iowa,
has been called to Washington
City because his subscription list
is not as we'll paid up as the law
requires. He will have to eX-
plain to the government officials
why he has not compelled his sub
scribers to pay up according to
the postal rules. 1t seems little
tough that country editors have to
be hauled up before the govern
ment under the charge Of yiolat-
ing federal laws just because they
do not eternally keep dunning
their subscribers for the small
sums they owe Oh subscriptions,
but it is like the end of the world,
no one knows when it cometh, and
no editor knows what day an in
spector may pop in and ask to see
his list. And if too many subscrib-
ers are behind on their paper it
means trouble with the govern
ment. 1t puts an editor in such
shape that he is compelled to force
his collections unless he has an
unusual prompt paying list of SUBJ
scribers."
The Bee, newspaper published
at Jefferson, Ia, has been jerked
up. This is what the editor says
about it:
The Bee this morning received
its first official summons from the
Postoffice Department to conform
with the ruling which requires
subscribers to keep their subscrip-
tions paid up. We can no longer
send the paper to delinquents, no
matter how willing we may be to
accommodate them. We some
times question the right of Uncle
Sam to interfere in the conduct of
a legitimate business, and say we
shall not extend credit if we wish
TO, but whether right or wrong
we must conform to the regulation.
1t will distress us greatly to cut
of lot Of good and long time
patrons who we know intend to
pay, but are careless about the
matter, and if such really want
the Bee we know they will come
to our assistance and relieve us of
this embarrassment"
1t is very dangerous business
for newspaper man to send pa
pers to subscribers who are more
than twelve months in arrears.
To be deprived of the second-class
mailing privilege, which is the
penalty for Noncompliance with
the ruling, puts newspaper out
of business, for the expense of
putting a One-cent stamp on every
paper mailed amounts to much
more than the profits on the entire
subscription business, to say moth
ing of the increased amount of
labor which would be required in
affixing the stamps. Publishers

CITING PROFITABLE STOCK.
American Royal Shows What's Desirable;
Sales Provide it.

Every stock farmer know s
what he wants to buy to breed
with or feed, e Their exactly or in
a general way. The breeder, for
instance, has his own ideas as to
type-but he's usually willing to
change if some authoritative
source of Information, such as
the American Royal award $,
shows him that he could breed
towards a more profitable type,
one for which he could find more
buyers at higher prices. And
his great advantage if he gets
this inform ation at the Royal, is
that he can buy, at the Royal
sales, exactly what he needs.
Each of the national as OciatiOnS
of beef cattle breeders carefully
inspects for health, and passes
on for type and quality. the
animals offered in the auction
sales of breeding stock, so that
the breeder who buys at these
sales may be sure he is getting
Hereford, Shorthorn, Galloway
or Angus males or females that
will improve his herds, and bring
them closer to the .ealS. The
auction sale dates of breeding
cattle are. Galloways, Tuesday,
October IL; Angus, Wednesday,
October II; Shorthorns, Thu s
day, October Ii; Herefords, Fri
day, October IA.
Stock farmers of every kind,
however, have equal opportuni
ties with the pure bred beef cat

need, at the Royal. Private sales
