and with one purpose hit a town you
may be assured as Mr.. Slang would
say, There's going to be something
doing" And you could not blame a
girl for primping her hair over her
forehe and rubbing the powder cloth
over her nose right quickly before she
meets them. Thursday Mr.. Edwin l..
Barker, of Chicago, Mr.. Orvi'le l..
Pace, of Elizabethtown, Mr.. J. II Bon
durant, of Brandenburg, and Mr.. f. b
Lockwood, an expert motion picture
operator, came to Cloverporn They die
not set the town afire, but got the peo-
pie and farmers to thinking. They
were representing the lnternationa
Harvester Company, OF America They
brought with them their story, 1.-The
Romance of The Reaper with color
ed views and motion pictures.
They had a hard time getting tc
show, for Cloverport like hundreds OF
other small towns, has no auditorium
They worked like turks, until finally,
they succeeded in getting the a o wv
Hall, the use of which was greatly APP
preciated If the International Har-
vester representatives come to your
town. help them to get place If you
have to roll up your sleeves and pitch
a tent. Their show is worth il. 1t is
educational. 1t gives yoC a hearty
laugh, brings back the days when you
we're a leetle fellow on the farm, and
gives you visions of a visit to far away
countries.
THE Romance of The Reaper is
the story of the progress of farming
from the time before Capt. John Smith
came to America from England and
downed the lazy man with that rule
The man who does not work, shall
not eat" Colored pictures were given,
showing where elephants and camels
were used instead of machines. Now
the latest implements are sent to Egg pt,
China, Japan, Southern Russia and ST.
IBERIA. But Uncle Sam has learned that
the farmers of these countries and the
French, Swedish and English farmers
have to pay more for machinery than
you do. The six foot binder that you
can buy from Conrad, Payne and Com
pany, of Cloverport, Midlothian add

Something About The Prices.
Mr.. Barker, who has charge Of {
large amount of the work of the Pub
lcity Department, said that in spite o
the fact that the cost of raw material:
and wages have greatly advanced since
the organization of The Internationa
Harvester Company, the price OF farm
machines is but a little more now thar
then. He also made it clear that hi
| Company is the best friend the farme
has-the trust of the man behind IN,
plow-because the company lets an
farmer, who is worth the salt that goe
in his bread, have machine on tim
7 and trusts him for the money.
, The international Harvester Compa
ny is like good, substantial business
. man, perhaps 1t is not perfect an,
more than the leading citizen of you
town is perfect, but it is fair and squar,
with the people. Mr.. Barker went OIL
to give the following facts in regard h
, the situation Of the Company in Ken
lucky.
"Sad to relate. in this State there 1
law by which any prosecuting attor
: ney can bring suit against any corpora

Commonwealth pays the cost of pros
ecution, aud should jury assess fine
and the fine ever be collected, the tax
payers of the county in which suit j
