what the Shepherdsville News said
about il: '1n the Circuit Court last
Saturday afternoon, the jury trying
the case of the Commonwealth VS..
the International Harvester Com
pany of America, returned a ver-
diet for the full amount allowed by
law. $1,000. OF this amount. if the
verdict stands, the Commonwealth

the state $500. less Sl20 paid IL
jurors for five days and s25 paid
the Jailer and Sheriff: leaving the
state Si55 out of $1,000. Bullitt
county gets nothing. and ultimately
the farmer will pay the whole
thing"
But ultimately the farmers will
pay more than they imagine. No
company can afford to,pay TO the
lawyers a $1,000 license for the
privilege of doing business IN a
county. and sooner or later they
will drive large companies from the
state. To take modern farm ma
chimes ont of Kentucky would set
the state back hundred wears. and
greatly reduce the earning capacity
of our 100000 farms.
Those. who saw "The Romance of

ever before the great progress made
by agriculture and the entire busi-
ness world since the development of
modern farm machines. To cripple
the work Of the company that has
made all this possible will be to Grip

ROMANCE OF THE REAPER
Lecture and Real Facts Facing The
Farmers of Kentucky.

Through the courtesy of the In
ternational Harvester Company Of
America, j. l.. Beazley & Co, the
local implement dealer, was able to
present the lecture entertainment.
"The Romance of the Reaper" at
the Stanford Opera House on We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings.
The lecture tells the story of the
progress bf agriculture from the
earliest times down to the present
day, and it traces the development
of farm implements and machines
from the reaping hook to the scythe
and cradle. through to the first reap
er, the automatic binder, gasoline
tractor, manure spreader and other
modern machines.
The lecture was illustrated with
colored views and motion pictures.
These not only showed the different
farm machines in operation. but the
audience was taken on trip to the
International Harvester Company's
system of plants, where the ma
chimes are made.
The farmers and others in atten-
dance followed the lecture with in
terest. IL contained much informa-
tion. When one considers the millions
of farms in the United States, to say
nothing of the rest of the world,
and the big crops raised on these
farms, he realizes that the making
of farm machines is large and i'm
portant industry.
In spite of the fact that the cost
of raw materials and wages have
greatly advanced since the oreani-
zation of the International Harves-
ter Company, the price of farm ma
chimes is but little more now than
then. Ii was pointed out that the
modern binder. composed of more
than 1000 separately formed parts,
and made of the best steel, malleable
iron and seasoned wood, is today
the cheapest thing a farmer buys.
Taken, pound for pound, a binder
costs him less than his plow or his
east iron cook stove. The price of
binder twine has steadily fallen, un-
iii today it retails for only a little
more than half Of what it did ten
years ago.
During the evening the prices of
farm machines at home and abroad
were discussed. IL was shown, by
an investigation made by the United
States government. that a six-foot
binder which Kentucky farmer can
buy for about 1925. costs tie Eng
lish farmer $l35, the French farm
er S173, the Swedish farmer Sl60
the Russian farmer $3.50, the Siber-
ian farmer slS7, and the farmer of
Germany 1908.
just now. on account of the over
zealousness and agitat ton of cer-
tain lawyers, Kentucky farmers are
threatened with the worst sort of
hardship in the purchase Of their
farm machines and repair parts for

No political event that we can
ever remember made us one'half as
happy as we are over the election OF
James r. McCreary TO the Governor
ship of Kentucky. From the very
first of the fight we have never
had the slightest doubt of his elec-
tion. We fought our best for his
nomination and saw from the en-
thusiasm which it ensendered in the
party that it presaged a complete
victory in the final race. And the re
suit has fulfilled our every expect
alton.
And while we are talking about
the result, we want TO compliment
State chairman Rufus VanSant up
on the splendid work which he did
in organizing the state and putting
steam into the campaign which kept
things moving till the wire was
reached. And with him worked those
splendid democrats aud fine fellows.
Bob Phillips, Henry Lawrence and
Dan O'Sullivan, with behind them
the master hand of that general OF
political strategy. Percy Haly. Sim
mering things down to their final an
alysis, it was Halv. who. outside OF
McCrearys own strength, did inc
greatest work toward securing him
the nomination for governor. and it
was Haly who was behind his cleo
tion. The democracy of Ken
tuckv owes him debt of gratitude
which it can never paw. He wants
no Office it can give him. If there
was ever a politician who subverted
his own interests to those of his
friends and who. when he was
friend. knew no extremity to which
he would not go for his friend. that
man is Haly. We sincerely eongrat-
ulate him upon his splendid work.
