Farm Notes.

Reports from various counties show
that spring work is more advanced
than usual. The extremely low price
of tobacco is making many prospective
growers hesitate and if contracts with
tenants were not already made the
area devoted to tho weed would be
greatly curtailed. Hands are hard to
secure and while they want more
wages in many places farmers are not
willing to pay the same as last year.
In consequence. it is thought much
land now devoted to cultivation will be
put in grass in the near future. If
clover seed was no: so high there
would be a great deal sown and in
many places it is being snwn anyhow
For some reason alfalfa has not been a
success in mOst.sections of Kentucky
and what promised to work a revo-
luton in farm methods u few years
ago, is not now receiving much atten-
ton. The area devoted to potatoes in
the State will be largely increased
Notwithstanding the low iprice reciev-
ed for the last crop. Much more at
tention would be given to fruit grow
ing if the seasons were not so unceI-
tain. but in many places the growing
of berries is attracting attention.
Opinion is divided AS to the status of
the present crop but much of the early
fruit is undoubtedly killed while ap-
piles. etc., are still unhurt.

The True Hero.

Many a soldier vino stood at his post
of duty for two or three years during
our civil war is covered with badges.
We would not take one from him, he
merits them. But many an ordinary"
woman has stood at her post of duty
for thirty. forty land even half of a
century, fighting with sickness. power
ty and encouragement, and with true
Spartan courage kept the wolf away
from the door and saved the lives of a
large number of children. The man
who saves one life for bravery, his
picture appears in the metropolitan
papers and he wears medal which
says to the world he was brave. And
he was. But the woman who has saw
ed the lives of many is given no badge
and seldom ever a word of commend
alton. These ordinary women may nc
receive Carnegie badge for bravery.
but He who marks the sparrow s fall'
will certainly reserve for them the
brightest jeweled crowns in His King
dom.

KNIGHTS to Sift Graft Charges

Officials of Washington, d. G. Council.
Knights of Columbus, are to sift
thoroughly the matter of the charges
made on the floor of the House OF. Rep
resentatives by Ben johnson, of Ken

Grand Knight George r. Repetti, of
the Washington Lodge is said to have
referred the charges to committee,
with instructions to see if a prima
facie case has been established.
The statement made by Represen-
tative johnson was to the effect that
he had been approached by DR.. Scharf,
who offered to give the Catholic votes
generally to Johnson during the lat
tel 8 fight for reelection in his Ken
lucky district for consideration.
Johnson, Knight of Columbus him
self, took the matter, up in Congress.
DIR. Scharf is the editor of publ
cation known as the Catholic News
Agency. He laughed heartily when
asked about the matter.

NO DEMAND FOR a FIGHT.

The Waterloo Courier, erstwhile
an ardent insurgent paper, now luke
warm in support of the insurgent
leaders, says as to the proposition to
make reciprocity bone of conten-
ton in the next Iowa Republican state
convention:
There seems to be absolutely no
enthusiasm by the press of Iowa for
dragging the reciprocity argument
into the Republican state convention
next spring The concensus of opin-
ion is that the Nebraska convention
showed the best sense in endorsing
Taft and ignoring the reciprocity
issue
The Courier in the above states the
case exactly as it is. There is no
demand in Iowa Republican news
papers for any action whatever on the
subject and the situation can best be
met by ignoring it completely. Ne
braska Republicans have set an ex-
ample we'll worth initiating in the In
terest of party harmony.

That English woman has hit upon
the secret of the unpopularity of sa-

of the right to take drink that has
led to SO much agitation on the part
of temperance folks. If a bar room
were merely a place where a man

never have attracted the opposition

the latest announcements is that

OUR WATER RESOURCES

The present status of our water re-
source utilization does not make a
very good showing. The available wa
ter power of our rivers is estimated
by engineering authority at more than
zoe, 200, 900 horsepower, of which about
100000 are so far developed. OF all
the water supply in our rivers, about
80 per cent wastes annually in fresh
cts and floods. The damages from
floods during the last decade to rail-
road properties are estimated at $780,
000,D0o and all damages during that
period at $T0o,00o,o00; about 100000
600 cubic yards of surface soil are
annually washed away by floods.
The value of our water resources
lies in their utilization, but above con-
ditions reveal the fact that only about
2 per cent is put into service, and
that the economical benefits of this
service are absolutely wiped out by
the overwhelming losses and waste It
is also estimated that by investing
$500, 000,0 900 in water conservation our
inland waterways would tie so i'm
proved as to realize saving in an
nual transportation cost of $250,0O0,-
900; an annual flood destruction
would be reduced by s1o0,o0o,ooo, and
forest fire damages would be lessened
by $25 ,000,0 900, and that the value OF
the thereby created water power re.
sources would compensate for this
investment and for its continuance at
the rate of s50,00o,OO0 yearly.

Should | Use
Cuticura Soap?

"There is nothing the matter
with my skin, and ! thought
Cuticura Soap was only for skin
troubles" True, it is for skin
troubles. but its great mission is
to p,svent skin troubles. For
more than q generation its deli
cate emollicnt and prophylactic
properties have rendered it the
standard for this purpose, while
its extreme purity and refreshing
fragrance give to it all the advan-
tages of the best of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable in keeping
the hands soft and white, the hair
live and glossy, and the scalp
free from dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that it wears
toa wafer, often outlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making
its use, in practice, most econom-
ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by
druggists and dealers everywhere,
but the truth of these claims may
be demonstrated without cost by
sending to "Cuticura," Dept. M,
Boston, for a liberal sample

page book on the skin and hair.
