Valid Ohiectinn-

One of the funniest things that has
been said in Richmond lately was
overheard the other day in West
Franklin street. Two colored women
were talking. One of them said: 81
wouldn't so to North Carolina" why
wouldn't you go to North Carolina?"
asked the other and this surprising
answer came to the question: 81
wouldn't go to North Carolina be-
cause North Carolina is so close to
South Carolina. Richmond Times.

afternoon, when William II. Zorn az
Miss Hattie Fraser were united in mar
riage, the ceremony being performed by
Rev. Johntry of the M. Z. church. The
cosy living room had been converted
into bower of green with palms, ivy
and ferns, and profuSion of roses and
chrysanthemums contributed wealth
of color and fragrance. The pretty
young bride never appeared more charm
ing than in her travelling suit of dark

the ceremony. Immediately after the
words were spoken which united these
young people, they were whirled away
in the big touring car of Mr.. GanaS, and
thinking 10 escape the inevitable shower
of rice, they boarded the train at
Keuka, but their young friends were on
the alert, and when the train stopped at
lnterlachen they were ready for them
and delivered parting shower of rice
and good wishes. Many handsome and
useful gifts testified TO the popularity of
the newly married pair. Miss Hattie has
grown from childhood to lovely wo-
manhood in our midst and in her posi-
ton in the poStoffice was known to all,
and loved by all. Mr. Zorn is valued

COLLEGE, Girl SUGGESTION,

Popularity is like some Of the 9TH

seeks it seldom finds it. However, a
hint is that It follows respect. Col

school work The first few months
often seem easy. That is why many
girls join the social whirl. When the
midyears come they pay the penalty,
unless temporary. artificial. fitting

The ROMANCE OF The REAPER.
The Lecture And The Real Facts Facing
The Farmers And Business Interests
OF Kentucky.

Through the courtesy of the Inter-
national Harvester Company of Am
erica, Haselden Bros, our local imple-
ment dealer, was able to present the
lecture entertainment, 1.-The Romance
of the Reaper" at the Lancaster Opera
House last Monday and Tuesday nights.
The lecture tells the story of the
progress of agriculture from the ear
hest 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 reaper, the auto
matte binder, gasoline tractor, manure
spreader, and other modern machines.
The lecture was illustrated with COL
ored views and motion pictures. These
not only showed the different farm ma
chimes in operation. but the audience
was taken on trip to the Internal
ional Harvester Company's system of
plants, where the machines are made.
The farmers and others in attendance
followed the lecture with interest. 1t
contained much information. When we
consider 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, we realize that
the making of farm machines is large
and important industry.
In spite of the fact that the cost OF
raw materials and wages have greatly
advanced since the organization of the
International Harvester Company, the
The central record. (Lancaster, Ky.) 18??-current, 1911-11-10

price of farm machines is but little
more now than then. 1t was pointed
out that the modern binder, composed
of more than 1,200 separately formed
parts, and made Of the best steel,
malleable iron and seasoned wood, is to
day the cheapest thing farmer buys.
Taken pound for pound, binder costs
him less than his pillow or cast iron cook
stove. The price of binder Irvine has
steadily fallen, until today it retails
for only 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. 1t was shown, by an
Investigation made by the United
States Government, that a six-foot
binder which Kentucky farmer can
buy for about $l25.0O, costs the Eng
lish farmer $135, the French farmer
$173, the Swedish farmer $160, the
Russian farmer $3.50, the Siberian far
mer Sl87, and the farmer of Germany
$2O3,OO
Just now, on account of the over
zealousness and agitation of certain
lawyers, Kentucky farmers are threat
ened with the worst sort of hardshirs
in the purchase Of their farm machines
and repair parts for the same.
Sad to relate, in this State there is a
law by which any prosecuting. attorney
can bring suit against any corporation
doing business in Kentucky; the Com
monwealth pays the cost OF prosecution
and should jury assess a fine, and
the fine ever be collected, the taxpay-
ers of the county in which suit is
brought are not benefited, but the at
torneys and court offices put SO per
cent of the fine into their own pockets.
Recently one of these suits was
brought in Bullitt County. Here is
what the Shepherdsville News said
about it: I'm the Circuit Court last
Saturday afternoon the jury trying the
case of the Commonwealth VS.. the
lIlIcIldIlOIldl lldI NSSlSI SOIIlD dllN VI
America returned a verdict for the
full amount allowed by law, s., COO
Of this amount, if the verdict stands,
the Commonwealth Attorney will get
81, 500; County Attorney, 81, 250; Cir
cult Clerk, $500, 90; Trustee of the jury
fund, $3.50; and the State, 5000, less
$12O paid twelve jurors for five days
and $25 paid the Jailer and Sheriff;
leaving the State $455 out of $4,000. 90.
Bullitt county gets nothing, and ulti-
mately the farmer will pay the whole
thing"
But ultimately the farmers will pay
more than they imagine. No company
can offer to pay to the lawyers a $500
license for the privilege of doing
business in county, and sooner or
later they will drive large companies
from the State. To take modern farm
machines out of Kentucky would set
the State back hundred years
Those who saw The Romance of
the Reaper" more fully realize than
ever before the great progress made
by agriculture and the entire business
world since the development of modern
farm machines. To cripple the work
of the company that has made all this
possible will be to cripple the farms
and the entire business welfare of the
State. $50
