The tobacco growers of Kentucky
seem to be unable to get together
on any kind of any agreement that
will help. the price of tobacco. The
American Tobacco Company has the
situation absolutely under control
again and is buying tobacco at less
than cost Of production.
II seems strange that the farm
ers can not settle the internal dis
sensions of their organization, fire"
their grating officials, and con-
tinue in position to force the pow
erful tobacco trust TO pay them fair
prices for the product. After win
ming a gerat victory they now throw
away all the advantage gained by
organization and go back to seryi-
tude. .". ...
So far ell efforts at organization
for this year have failed. A prop
osition is now up to raise no to-
bacco in 1911 This is the only
chance for the growers to save then
selves. If erected there is no rea'
son to hope for living price for
tobacco. The few farmers Of Law
renee and Wayne counties who have
begun raising the weed SHOULD bt
governed entirely by the result O
this cut-out movement.
Do not be misled by the American
Tobacco Company's tricks. A mar
ket, has recently been opened a
Huntington. Reports are constant
ly going out about the high price
being paid for tobacco there. w
are reliably informed that in on
instance recently the same lot O
tobacco was sold every day 70
about two weeks-sold by the trus
and bid in by the trust. The pric
OF this small lot always ran higl
The papers each day reported thes
prices. But it is safe to say thu
every farmer who has been indu
ed to take bis tobacco there hi
been sorely disappointed in the pri
received. And the market the
has been as good as elsewhere al
sometimes slightly better, proba
ly because the trust wants to e
courage tobacco growing outside
the great hurley district of Ke
lucky.

WHY IS THIS THUs2


There is great big screw loose
in the financial machinery at Frank
fort under this Republican admins
tration. The Sheriffs have all set
tied and paid in the 22c tax col
lected for school purposes, and yet
word comes that they are unable
to send the money due the teach
ers of this county, What have they
done with the money? And what
right have they to use the school
money for any other purpose than
that for which It was levied and
collected? None whatever, -Flem-

The price OF eggs is now lower
than for several years, because the
government has practically put a
stop to the cold storage o. this pro-
duct. This business had grown to
enormous proportions and operated
to keep eggs from going to ex-
IRENE prices either way. Now that
it is simply matter of supply and
demand there will be much greater
fluctuation, and on the whole the
situation is worse for the farmer.

ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

T, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Rem edies. had been doctoring for at least year for eczema on my foot. had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to 1t, when five my left ankle. was worried and sent for doctor. He said 1t was eczema He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of match and about an inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and the eczema spread to the knee. The doc tors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time.
 My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was 30 intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One day a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she ex- claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Rem edies!' Being disgusted with the doc tors and their medicines, and not be- ing able to sleep at all, decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but very little pain, in fact, thought l was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was per fectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. will be sixty-four years of age my next birthday, hale and hearty at pres ent." (Signed) Mrs. Julia Finnegan, 2234 Hebert St., St. Louis, Mo-, Mar. z, 1911.

OUR NOBILITY.

An Arizona man who was in Chicago recently for the purpose of buying several thousand dollars worth of things that he needed in his business was entertained at one of the coun- try clubs.
 Now" said his host before they went into dinner, T wish you would do the club the honor of registering. We like to have the signatures of all prominent men who come here"
 The Arizona gentleman looked at the register for the purpose of dis covering what other prominent ctti- zens had written their names there. and up near the top of the page he noticed the name of Benjamin Hoop CT II. A little below that was the name of Addison Bosworth III. Evi. dently MT. Bosworth had been fol- lowed by a humorist. for under his name was written John Smith XIV.

Oxen In Massachusetts.

]. D. Avery of Shelburne Falls Is surely the king of oxen in this part of the country. At the Brattleboro fair recently he has had the most wonder ful exhibit of oxen, and in all the tests of strength for pulling heavy boat loads of stone his oxen havescleaned the decks. One of the secrets in these tests is the way the oxen are man. aged and driven. MT. Avery does his own driving and is a master at the business. The other day again, as the day before, he cleared everything be- fore him in the OK pulling ring by talk ing all three prizes in the free for all class and first and second in the $500 class.
 The load drawn in the $500 class was about 9,106, while the veteran OK man made an exhibition pull of nine feet in the free for all class with . fancy pair of Devons with load of 10,238, which is the biggest load drawn at Brattleboro since he pulled over 11,000 with his famous pair of Holsteins-Hampshir Gazette.

Fifteen years ago had an attack of acute kidney trouble. I consulted a physician who gave me medicine which only relieved me for time.
