Bro. Pierce showed clearly from

not have charge of more than
one church. So we called our
selves supplies. " The sermons
by Bros. Gibbs and Kinsolving

and greatly enjoyed by the large
congregation. Bro. Gregston dis

Three weeks of Congress have
emphasized the unusual spectacle
of Republican president reach
ing acIoss the party chasm for
the help his own followers deniep
him.
Reciprocity was ever a favorite
chant with the republicans high
priests, since the days of James
G. Blaine. 1t gave a ring of
sweetness and light" TO the
party platforms. The men who
pulled the wires were glad
enough to swap platform planks
freely, as long as the high brows
kept their off the choice of del
egates.
Reciprocity was a friendless
waif in the crowd that used to
control Congress. They had a
special pigeon hole made with a
false bottom for its interment.
And now come the wicked DEM
ocrats, who never made any par
ticular virtue of reciprocity. But
singularly enough, they alone
can be depended on to pass it.
It's like the man in the Bible who
said he wonld go and did not, and
the man who said he wouldn't go
but he did.
Protecting home industries
really rests on just the same bas-
is as maintaining the industries
of ones own town. Most of us
believe in buying at home, even if
it costs us a little more. Some of
us would pay a good size tax if
we could thereby get more indus
tries here.
But few of us would pay any
such tax, unless we had every
opportunity to scrutinize the in
side figures of the deal, and to
see whether we had to pay twice
Crittenden record-press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1909-191?, 1911-05-04

as much as necessary. and if the
returns were enough to compen-
safe for the burdens we had to
bear.
furthermore, if any such tax
were laid on us indefinitely for
the support of such an industry,
we would be questioning wheth-
err it was an economical invest
ment.
In the national field, the man
who receive these subsidies have
been permitted to name their
own figures to friendly receptive
committees. When the Consum-
er, the long suffering fellow who
had to pay. rose to have an It'll

Some of the merchants who
hold to the older business met
hods do not quite realize how
modern trade has abandoned its
former passive attitude.
Our older men will recall a
time when buyers of manufact-
ured goods used to visit the fact
cries to make their purchases.
Manufacturing then was pretty
well concentrated in the East
ern states, and long and difficult
journeys were taken to see the
goods personally.
A manufacturer of those days
would have laughed at the idea
that he spent his good money
in sending out statesmen on cost
ly junketing to jolly up the re-
tailers. He was sure of certain
trade by sitting in his tracks and
waiting for the business to come
to his door.
Today the buyers sit down in
their stores and wait for the
manufacturers to send salesman
to see them, and manufactures
that fail to do this lose their trade.
But a remnent of retailers
still think they can do business on
the old time principle of letting
trade come to you. The public
however, assumes that the man
who thus fails to play the game
of merchandising lacks confidence
in his goods, since he is not will
ling to pay the ordinary expenses
of selling them.
The newspaper advertisement
serves with marvellous efficiency
as the retailers travelling sales
men. 1t tells his story to thous-
ands of readers in the time a
salesman would spend talking to
one customer.
Watch a train load of people
when the new periodicals are
brought in. Two out of three
turn first to the advertising.
They read the stories and articles
a little afterward, and finally
Crittenden record-press. [volume] (Marion, Ky.) 1909-191?, 1911-05-04

turn TO the advertising again If
you could enter the homes when
the local newspapers distribnt-
ed, you would find a similar
searching scrutiny of the store
news.
The reason is obvious. The
general news relates to things
not directly connected with the
personal interest of the reader.
The advertising talks about ones
every day interests. like clothing
and house furnishings and per-
sonal belongings.
In appeals to the ever present
desire to live comfortably and at
tractivly, and to reduce the cost
of living. How can people help
reading them.

Now Believed That There Will
Be More Tobacco Pooled in
This County Than Ever Here
tofore-Union County Farm
ers Propose to Keep From I'm
der Heel of Tobacco Trust.

while it is pretty early in the
season to venture a prediction,
vet from the reports that are now
prevalent the tobacco pool in
Union county will be greater than
known in any prtviou9 year The
pooling papers ha' not yet beer
out a great while. but il is under
stood there is less hesitation on
the part of the farmer'in signing
up than in previous years.
This shows that the farmers
OF this county do not expect TO
again place themselves beneath
the mighty heel of the tobacco
trust. The association is. OF
course, not perfect, and can not
be expected to be. Some mem
bers find fault with it, but when
they think OF what will happen to
the tobacco growers if the as
ISOLATION should die-when they
recall how merciless the tobacco
trust was a few years ago when
it bought up fine crops OF tobacco
at an average OF 3 cents a pound,
and how the farmer was power
less to help himself, he again be-
comes proud OF the great organ
ization of farmers despite the fact
that there are some things about
it he does not like. No big or
ganization could be formed and
conducted in a way that would be
satisfactory to every one.

By James n. Banks.

The Hustler reports an en-
thusiastic meeting at Madison
vile last Saturday, as follows:
The farmers who are heart
and soul in the upholding of the
Stemming District Association
and who believe in the ultimate
victory against the trusts, were
encouraged by the large crowd
of Hopkins county farmers that
gathered at the court house Sat-
urday afternoon to discuss and
hear discussed the situation as it
now stands and as it affects the
farmer. There is little doubt
now but that the farmers of this
county will again be one of the
counties to pool this years to-
bacco crop.
w. W. Wilson presided at the
meeting and the speakers were
given close attention.
General Manager William
Elliot, of Henderson, was pre-
sent and made a statement of the
operations of the Association and
showed that the expense of hand
ling the immense crop by the as
ISOLATION was less than $500 on
the $780,, not $500 on the hun
dred pounds of tobacco. as many
seemed to think.

Grounds Of Reversal.


The State board reversed the coun-
ty board on the grounds that there
was no testimony offered to show that
the II voters did not possess registra-
ton certificates from the clerk Of
court or the secretary Of state that
they had been registered according to
law prior to 1898. The board held
that it must be presumed that the IA
men voted, according to law, when
no testimony was presented as to an
irregularity.
Ali Day Session.
The hearing On the question con-
sumed all of yesterday, and there
were several arguments of a very
technical nature heard. Former
Judge R. O. Purdy, of Sumter, repre-
sented W. B. Boyle, the protestor.
The county board of canvassers was
represented at the hearing by L. D.
Jennings and R. D. Epps.
The members Of the State board of
canvassers present were Attorney
General Lyon, Comptroller General
ions, Secretary of State McCown and
State Treasurer Jennings.
There was a mass of testimony of
a technical nature presented. The
only box under consideration was that
of Mayesville.
/. D. Jennings was asked if it was
the intention of those in favor of the
bond issue to carry the question to
the supreme court for a decision.
Hold Another Election.
He replied that the citizens of Sum-
ter county would very probably >se-
cure special act from the next gen
eral assembly and hold another elec-
ton next summer.

Annual Contest of
Boys Corn Club.

Z
The fourth annual contest OF
the Lee County Boys Corn Club
met in the court house Wednes-
day morning. The number OF
entries was very small compared
with the number who belong to
the club. There are enrolled /. 5
bows in the club and out of this
number less than fifty have gone
on with the work and have tried
to make a showing. Only elgh-
teen entered with samples of
their 1911 product, these SAM
pies being of superior quality
and the result good.
The highest yield was reported
by Guie Coggin, of Allensburg,
who produced 1T bushels. on one
acre.
Curtis Doty, second, with lOo
bushels; Clarence Edgeworth
Jos; B. F. Young 95. Ira Green
Gambrell 7e; Jessie Yarbrough II;
john Riley 70; Thomas Barrett,
66; Halsey Clayton sc, John
Bazemore SO; Dewey Stanley 62;
Paul Maxcy 81; Tines Kisor 55;
Ben Riley so; Don Perkins So;
Tom Mccarthy AZ. The average
bushels per acre was rs bushels.
The 7S bushels grown by Ira
Gambrell and 66 bushels by Tom
Barrett was grown on thin land
which has been producing from
10 to Is bushels per acre hereto
fore with ordinary cultivation.
Each boy received a prize,
ranging from Sl.00 to $3.50. AT
the fair there were fifty contest
ants in the single ear and ten ear
contests, fifteen of these winning
prizes.
Superintendent Clayton had
invited President Hardy to be on
hand to make the boys a speech,
but owing to the fact that he
missed his train Mr.. Hardy did
not reach here in time. Prof.
Cobb, of the A. & M. was pres
ent. however, and made a very
instructive and encouraging talk
to the members of the club and
those present.
The superintendent is using
his best efforts to increase inter-
est in these contents, and tits to
be hoped that his efforts will be
crowned with success. No great
er lesson could be given the boys
and young men ofthe conntry
than that of producing more to
the acre by intelligent cultiva-
ton. Intensive forming is grow
ing in favor and within a few
years the SYSTEM will take the
place of the od method which
has worn out our lands and
bankrapted many a good man.
