Growing Umbrella Handles.

At Maule, a small village near
Paris, France, is carried on a singu-
lar industry which is little known.
1t is a nursery for the cultivation Of
trees suitable for use as umbrella
handles, walking sticks and alpen-
stocks. Nearly 500 acres of ground
are gwen over to ash, oak, chestnut
and maple SaplingS. One year af-
ter planting, these are cut off near
the roof so as to make them grow
several branches, which are then
kept free from secondary stems.
The most curious part of the indus,
try comes from the following year
IncisiOnS are made in the bark, thus
engraving upon it various designs
When the bark is stripped, These
designs are found traced or the
wood. At the end of the third year
the branches are cut, stripped of
their bark, bent into various shapes
and sent to the manufacturers
Certain forms of handles are shap,
ed while the branches are still
growing on the trees. - NatiOna

A Big Drove of Turkeys.

A drove of turkeys, numbering
146, were brought to this city last
Friday by VIM. Long, a farmer and
stOckman of Arditta. Mr.. Long
bought the turkeys in the south
western part of Ho we'll county, in
the neighbOrhOOd of his home. At
ter rounding up the turkeys and
feeding them on his farm a few
weeks, he drove them to this city, a
distance of eighteen miles One
day and a half was required to
make the drive. The turkeys roost-
ed in trees five miles from town the
first night of the drive, and arrived
in West Plains the following day at
noon. John Duggins, poultry buyer
for the Langston Mercantile Com
pany, bought the lot for $245. or IA
cents a pound. They were dressed
and shipped to Memphis, New Or
leans and other Southern markets.

pARTIsANsHIP RUNS TO SEED

1T is not so important as %
which Democrats are nominated as IL
is thai all Democrats should support
the nominee of their par:y"-Hartford
Herald.
The Herad is very much mistaken
when it takes this position. 1t is IN
portant and more important than any
party should nominate the very best
men for office than 1t is that Shey
should be supported whother good or
bad. This kind of blind pantisanship
- over, even in kentucky, and
nomination WHISTLER good or bad, by
either party, is no more equivalent
to an election. The nominee must APP
paal to the people either because Of
his excellent qualities, or because of
the belief that he would carry out
principles enunciated by his party
platform which are considered best for
the people, or a combination of both,
in order to make sure of an cleo
tion.

HARD ON STATE MILITIA.

A recent decision of the Kentucky
Court of Appeals renders service in
the State Militia a very hazardous
matter. The decision grew out of a
suit by some parties in western Ken

guard for false arrest, during the
night rider trouble last summer and
holds that member of this organi-
za,Gon has no more right to arreS.
any one chan any other private cit-
zen, and lis subject TO suit for dam
ages for false arrest, notwi, landing
he may have been ordered TO make
arrest by superior officers. OF course
if the member of the State guard Is
acting under order of the1ocal author
it;es and in conjunction with them,
he may be sworn in as deputy sheriff
and would then be protected. How
ever for several years the state troops
have been ordered into various ccun-
ties OF Kentucky, not only without
request upon the part of local au-
thorities, but over their protest and
with this sort of condition confront
ing a member it is not only a dam
gerous undertaking, but one which no
member of the State militia should take
upon himself Rather than do ehis
he should withdraw from the company
to which he belongs. Unless the state
is willing to protect her soldiers by
sufficient laws to guard them against
financial loss and worries of lawsuits
they should resign in a body. 1T is
enough for them to consent TO be
called out on behalf of the state AT
such dangerous times, without being
subjected to lawsuits for damages
when compelled to obey their superior
Officers in making arrests. The truth
is no state troops should be order I'D
any where in the state watdout re-
quest upon the part of local authori-
ties, there is where the responsible
ity should lie and the people elect
their own officers. When a condi-
tion becomes SO bad in the county
that the local authorities will neither
ask for aid from the state. or control
the situation themselves, military law
should be declared in sudh counties
by the Governor and this will give
The state troops ample projection.

Why Democrats Support the Can
adam Agreement.

The natural. indeed. the almost Inc
vihable attitude of agricultural pro
ducGs toward a political party which
hetrays them is indicated with great
force in the letter Of a farmer of
Central New York State to the SYRIA
cuse Rost-Sthndard.a His words sound
almost like the crack Of doom when
he says:
The Democratic Representatives at
Washington Haye Been Wise in In
doarang Our Presidents Action,
Knowing Full Well That the Far
mer. whb Is the Republicans
Strongest support. Would Much
Rather Have a Democratic Rule,
with Frce-rrnde nor Every One.
That Republican Protection which
.Pro<eots Everyone but che Farmer.
This Is just. a REASONABLE and
logical statement. Who can. dispute

suffer from the installment of absolute
Free-Trade the farmer would suffer
least. He has been tremendous lyain
er through Protection, and he fully
Realizes the face. He would be heavy
loser through Free-Trade, and he rea-
Ines that, But he also realizes that
IN the general smashing of values and
prices which Free-Trade would bring
about the farmers would be in the
position of advantage They are the
primary producers. the unit of things.
What they have to SELL mankind must
buy. People must eat. There is where
the farmer holds the age" No mat
Ter how great may be the crash in
prices Of manufactured articles-the
cheaper they become under Free-Trade
the better for the farmer-food prod
ucts will always be a necessity, and
food products come from the farm.
Herein lies the portentous signifi-
canoe of the Central New York farmer
soa"ehhehN. Hereih is fact and a
treat Just. as surely as the American
farmer finds out that there is Prctec-
ton for every one but him, just so
surely he will vote to bring in Free
Trade for every one.
Yet it is toward this disastrous
development that the Canadian Tar
iii agreement directly points. 1t noti-
fies the American farmer that Pro- !
lection is not for him. The answer
of the American farmer is certain 10
be: Then we will have Democratic
Frce-Trade; then we will have Pro-
lection for no one 1t becomes, there

mocrats in Congress are SO strongly
