The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1911-01-20

The Kentucky State Union A. S
of E. which was held in Bowling
Green last week was fairly well at
tended and will be a memodabls one
in many respects. The business OF
the session was transacted in quiet
orderly way and thsre was feel
ing of hopefulness among the dele
gates present for the future outlook
of the society in Kentucky. Those
present from the Burnley District an
nounced that that section of the
state was ready and anxious TO take
UP the A. S. of E. organization, hay-
ing found through the failure of the
Burley Tobacco Society that some
thing of a more substantial nature
as a farmers organization is need
ed to make the pool a success. The
loose organization TO which anyone
could belong by merely pooling his to-
bacco and allowing the mon at the
head to take care of the rest, will
not be attempted again in that Soc
ton of the state. An organization
which brings the work and RESPONSE
bility close TO the individual citizen
is the thing which they have found
to be necessary. An immediate at
tempt will be made TO organize this
part of the state with bright pros
poets of success. The new president
Mr.. Froman, is a man of ability who
is widely known among the farmers of
Kentucky having served three years
Farmers Institute and at present
member of the State Beard of Agrf-
culture. While all the delegates
were sorry that Mr. Cantrell could not
remain at the head of the society,
yet they were glad to be able to obtain
the services of such an able and ex-
perienced leader. Tn members of the
Society in Warren county and the
citizens of Bowling Green, treated
the visiting delegates with every
courtesy and with generous hospitali-
ty. The State Union has never been
held in town or city where the de-
legates have been shown the cordial
glad hand to any greater extent |
than in Bowling Green. They
were not given an opportunity to
spend much money there and in fact |
when they deparated for their trains
they found their hotel bills all set |
lid in full This is in such great |
contrast to the treatment at Frankfort |
The capital city, last year where
we were compelled to pay hall rent
Tor meeting in the old dilaapidated
Senate Chamber, state property, that
he delegates could not fail to make
note of it. We shall always have a
good word for the members of equity
N Warren county and for her citi-
,ens and the citizens of the thriv-
ng city of Bowling Green.

Another amendment should provide
that the expense OF collecting the

be paid out OF the school fund As the

JACK RABBITS THIRD LESSON.

of the squirrel again until late that af-
ternoon, when he looked out of his hole
to see what time it was by the Ean.
and there wasn't any sun to be seem.
The clouds had covered it all up, and
just as Jack Rabbit stuck his nose out
of the hole a great big snowflake fell
right on the end of 1t. and melting ran
down onto his mustache.
Winter Is here little early said
the Rabbit to himself, and then, ali at
once, he thought of the squirrel he had
seen that morr iNg. "A nice time he will
have gathering a winter supply of nuts
IL this keeps UP. | must hunt him up
tomorrow morning and see what he is
going to do
When Jack Rabbit awoke the next
morning the ground was all covered
with snow. 1t was not more than an
iTCh deep, but that was deep enough
to cover up every nut in the forest.
Along in the middle of the forenoon
Jack Rabbit went out to look UP the
squirrel. and it was not long before he
found him. A sadder-lOokinG squirrel
you never saw. His front paws were all
tern and bleeding and the big tears were
running down his cheeks as the Rabbit
came up to him under chestnut tree,
where has was scratching away in the
snow in search of the nuts. Not being
able to see the burrs Of the nuts every
time he uncovered one in the snow, he
stuck the sharp points in his paws, and
then he cried with pain. And then the
work was so slow and he had TO dig so
long to find single nut that he was
pretty nearly discouraged when Jack
Rabbit came up to him.
You don't look very happy said the
rabbit, ''and ] suspect that it's pretty
hard work gathering nuts that you can
not see"
"Oh, yes" said the squirrel. another
big tear dropping off his cheek. ITS
fearfuIly hard work, and my paws are
so sore and have not found more than
ten nuts in all my fOrenoon's work. |
wish I had been wiser squirrel and
gathered my winter supply before the
snow came"
YES said Jack Rabbit. Il think that
would have been wiser than going to
parties all night and sleeping all day.
But then perhaps this snow will not
last, and after it melts you will be able
to find the nuts much more readily.
However. this ought to teach you les
son, because II just proves what Mr..
Fox told me yesterday morning when
he said, Never put off till tomorrow
what ought to be done today"
II never will again. said the squir-
rel, land ] hope the sun comes out and
melts the Snow pretty soon, or shall
not have any paws left

WHEN Jack Rabbit told Mr.. Fox
about how the goose got her bill
caught In the trap Mr.. Fox laughed
heartily and said: How / wish i had
been there, for 1 dearly love a goose,
and 1t would have saved me the bother
of catching one"
Jack Rabbit was, however, not very
much interested in what Mr.. Fox would
have done with Mrs. Goose; he was
more interested in what lesson Mr.. Fox
was going to teach him, and as the fox
kept on talking about how much he
would have enjoyed the goose Jack Rab-
bit got rather impatient.
Have you no lesson for me this morn
ing?" he finally asked the fox.
''Oh, yes," said the fox. II have a
lesson for you which it is apparent you
need 10 learn. You should have come to
me yesterday for a lesson. but instead
you and brown rabbit went off for a
frolic, and ], who was expecting you,
wasted half an hour waiting, and the
lesson which you will have to learn at
once if you wish me TO continue as
your teacher is that you must not put
off until tomorrow what ought to be
done today"
" ell, SAID JACK ttaDDltS as lie ITOL-
ted toward home, Mr.. Fox was not in
very good humor this morning. / guess
the thoughts of the goose he lost and
the wasted time | caused him yesterday
made him a little cross.
The rabbit had almost reached home
when he came across a squirrel sitting
by the side OF the road rubbing his eyes
and yawning as wide as his jaws would
open.
Sleepy" asked Jack Rabbit, as he
by the squirrel.
Il certainly am,' said the squirrel.
II went to q party fast night and didn't
get home until daybreak and l am SO
tired now that as soon as | have been
down to the brook for a drink of water
| am going to sleep again.
Il suppose you have your winter store
OF nuts all gathered" said the rabbit.
Not yet" said the squirrel. There is
plenty of time to gather nuts. | have
been too busy going to parties to be
nuts up a tree all day
You had better get them gathered
before the snow comes" said Jack Rab-
bit, ''or else you will have hungry
'Oh, there's time enough said the
squirrel. If | don't gather any today
can gather twice as many tomorrow
TO make up for it, and then I shall be
all right"
With this remark the squirrel started
for the brook and Jack Rabbit contin-
Ied on his way home. He did not think

 E It is understood that the King fairly worsllips his wife and does all in his [ mower to make Madrid pleasant for her,
 but the rigid etiquette of the Spanish
 court is peculiarly galling to the higii
 spirited English princess, and then the
 constant dread for her husband and ch -
 aren has told heartily on her.
 E 1t is said her majesty is never real,
 happy except when she is visiting her
 old English home King Alfonso has en-
 tered three of his yachts for the racing at Cowes and Ryde, and will probably sail ' one of them in person. He is not to .s- s main in England more than a fortnight [,
 and will then return to his own country.
 Queen Ena, on the other hand, will spend E n few weeks with her mother on tne
 Island, and will then travel to London for
 a brief visit, occupying the suite of apart E flents in Kensington palace 1hat was s Tlaced at their disposal few years ago
 by the late King Edward. This visit wlll He of a purely private character. Her majesty is not expected to take part In any public function. Queen tna will ht
 accompanied by her three children, and up~a the conclusion of her visit will re- saurn direct to Madrid.
 ] King George and Queen Mary will bs RIresent this year at the Braemar gather siag, which has not been patfonlzed By khte sovereign for a long time, as King tTdward always arrived at Balmoral too Hate to attend 1t. The gathering will ne sheld at Braemar early in September
 Queen Victoria always attended the eatt,-
 ering and took a keen interest in the seames and in the muster of "High- Flanders In those days the gathering Twas held either at Braemar castle or al Balmoral.
 f A pretty story, illustrative of the kind- illness of the Queen towards those in her
 sservice, is just now going the rounds ot 1.-the court. When her majesty was out shopping recently the footman in open- ing the door of the carriage in which ] his royal mistress was sitting. happened slby some means or another to tilt the ilQueens hat slightly, causing it to take a distinct slant in the way 1t should not sIhave gone.

 similar circumstances the Queen merely
