DAY SPENT
IN CAUSE OF A. S. OF E.
Meeting With Helm Local Very
Enjoyable Affair-Some
Good Advice.
Heflin, Ky, Sept. %. 1912.


Editors Herald:-We wish to
beg space in which to give an &C
count OF the Hartford Magisterial
District meeting of the A. S. of L.
which met with Hetiin Local Union
at Chapman schoolhouse on Satur.
day last.
Though the morning was cloudy
and 1t looked very much as though
we would have rainy day, about
$3.50 o'clock the people began to
gather in and by 10 o'clock the
schoolhouse was comfortably filled
At this time the meeting was call
ed to order by the chairman, Mr.. G.
p. Jones, with Mr.. Byron Bean at
his place as secretary.
After a song, prayer was offered
by Rev. T. H. Balmain. This was
followed by a welcome address, to
the delegates and visitors present
delivered by Mr.. T. F. Tanner. The
response was made by Bro. Balmain
and was highly enjoyed by all pres
ent.
After the appointment of a COM
mittee on resolutions, program and
auditing by the chair, the time up
until noon was taken up in hearing
reports from the various locals in
the district.
At noon We adjourned to the
shade of spreading oak, where
the ladies spread bountiful feast
and the next hour was spent in do
ing justice to the boiled ham, bak-
ed mutton, fried chicken and other
good things too numerous to men
ton, not least of which was a keg
of fresh cider furnished by Mr.. A.
l.. Baird.
At 1880 o'clock We we're called to
order and after hearing the reports
of the various committees, the af-
ternoon was spent in a general dis
cussion of the reports of commit
lCto anu VI W
organized farmers. At about :
o'clock We adjourned to meet with
Beda local the Sd Saturday in De-
cember.
Taking 1t all in all, it was the
verdict of all present that it was
a day well spent. The only regret
we heard expressed was that more
people were not present to enjoy it
with us. Now just 2 word to the
Equity people of this county. II
YOU are not keeping up these dis
trict meetings. you are making a
sad mistake and are rot living up
to your privilege. for day spent
thus occasionally Is rot only very
pleasant and adds greatly to the So
cial good fellowship OF the COM
munity. but is good investment
financially. Hoping we may have
more such meetings and that you
may all enjoy them. Is the wish of

committee ana approved ltS course
in deciding the various contests in
favor OF Taft. He said there was
nothing unusual in the action of
the National Committee this year,
except that on account of the cry
of fraud, Mr.. Taft insisted that the
meetings should be open to the rep
resentatives of the press, while
heretofore they had been held be-
hind closed doors. The Roosevelt
contests were without merit, he
said, and the committee did right in
so deciding.
Naturally the Senator defended
the Republican convention in Ken
lucky, although he forgot to mem
ton that the Taft delegates were
made up in a largo part of Federal
officeholders, many of them being
postmasters. And yet this is what
the Senator had to say about Ken
lucky.
"If every delegate had been CIV
en- to Mr.. Roosevelt in our State
convention who was seated and all
who were contested. there would
have been a majority for Mr.. Taft
OF 297. No Roosevelt candidate
was placed in nomination in that or
any other State convention, and
notwithstanding these facts, con-
tests were made TO unseat three of
from the State-at-large unanimous
ly, on motion. And yet Col. Roose-
welt denounced the outrageous
frauds in Kentucky.
There never have been in the
history of any party such unjustifi-
able contests, and because Of fall
ure which the contestants knew in
advance would result, it has been
.heralded all owed the country that
Mr.. Taft stole his delegates.
You have heard much talk of
the steam roller. / never heard
that expression until in the conven-
ton of 1908, which was dominated
by Mr.. Roosevelt, when 1t was run
ruthlessly over delegates who were
fairly elected for Fairbanks and
others. Notwithstanding this fact,
however, there was no bolt from
the convention, but every defeated
delegate returned to his home and
went earnestly to work in the inter-
est of Mr.. Taft because those men
were Republicans. was unfairly
and unjustly defeated for delegate
in the State convention, but did
not even make a contest. I said
then and there that every Repub-
lican who had entered that conven-
ton was bound by its action and
should unhesitatingly support the
nominee at Chicago"
Speaking OF the formation of the
new party, Senator Bradley said
that the action of Mr.. Roosevelt
and those associated with him is
without justification and is an act
of ingratitude to the party which
honored Mr.. Roosevelt time and
again. He said that even II Mr..
Roosevelt's delegates were stolen
from him at Chicago, the Republic
an party was not responsible and its
destruction not justified. The Sen
ator insisted that II Mr.. Roosevelt
was determined to bolt. he should
have made his fight as an Independ-
ent Republican and not as the lead
err OF new party, and thus attempt
to destroy the Republican party.

A CLEANUP DAY
SET FOR OCT. 8
BY Gov. McCreary in Lat
est Proclamation.
CALLS ATTENTION OF PEOPLE
To Great Fire Losses and
Suggests Same Can be
Prevented.
SHOtLD OBSERVE THE DAY

Frankfort. KY, Sept. 21.-De-
claring that the losses by fire every
year in this country exceed those
of any other civilized nation and
that many of them could be pre-
vented by the exercise OF ordinary
precaution, Gov. McCreary, follow
ing the precedent of the last few
years, to-day issued a proclamation,
designating October s as Cleanup
Day" and requesting all the citizens
OF Kentucky to clean up rubbish on
their premises, place heating appa-
ratus in proper condition and in
spect their chimneys.
The proclamation follows:
The losses by fire in this coun-
try, of insured and uninsured prop
erty, total every year more than
$500, 900, and are largely in ex-
cess OF that of any other civilized
nation. This Is a loss which can be
curtailed by proper precaution. The
idi sc pay hShlS ny IHSuIdHCe COlH-
panies, as we'll as the enormous
personal loss of property which is
uninsured, Is han expense whic
should be decreased. The reduc-
ton of the fire loss would naturally
tend to reduce the expense of the
protection afforded by fire insur-
ance companies and like organiza-
tionsy and thus inure to the bene-
fit OF those who avail themselves of
this form OF protection. 1t is our
duty, as good citizens, to do all
within our power to prevent this
waste and needless loss OF property,
and 1t is, therefore, the part of wis
dom to join with the people of 9TH
er States in setting aside a day in
which We bring to public attention
this important duty. The Legisla-
ture has enacted laws for the pun
ishment OF the crime OF arson, but
II is not always the crime OF arson
that produces these losses. 1t is
frequently carelessness, negligence
or the failure to exercise due pre-
caution.
THE losses in Kentucky by fire.
on which insurance was paid last
year. were $3,692,3O the
premiums paid to secure fire insur-
ance last year were $5,272,43S.57,
and these figures do not begin to
cover the unprotected waste by fire.
Now, therefore, | call upon the
October s. 1912, as a day on which
to give special attention to the re-
moval from their premises OF rub
bish, which might cause fire, for
placing heating appliances in prop
er condition, the examination of
chimneys, flues and such other APP
planes which so frequently are
the direct cause of fire losses, to
look into premises where articles
which might produce spontaneous
combustion are kept, and for the
destruction of ignitable material
deposited in places where it might
endanger property by fire.
II further recommend that on
that day instructions be given to
the pupils in public and private
schools concerning the exercise of
care in the use OF matches and all
combustible materials, and that la
borers in factories and other places
of industry be duly cautioned on
this subject.
I'm testimony whereof, | have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the Commonwealth to
be affixed"

In the United States, over $4,000
observed tuberculosis day, and mil
lions of churchgoers were told
about this disease from the pull
pit This year will be the third
observation of tuberculosis day. Plans
are being made to have the gospel of
health preached more widely than
ever before. The movement will be
pushed through the 600 anti-tubercu-
losis associations allied with the ma

boards of health, women's clubs and
other organizations in hundreds of
cities and towns throughout the coun-
try. Through these various bodies
the churches will be reached and in

FLAX GROWING
is PROFITABLE
WESTERN CANADA FARMERS BE-
COMING RICH I'M ITS
PRODUCTION.

So much has been written regarding
the great amount of money made out
or growing wheat in the prairie prov
inces or Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, Western Cenada, that many
other products of the farms are over
looked. These provinces will always
grow large areas of wheat-both
spring and winter-and the yields will
continue to be large, and the general
average greater than in any other
portion OF the continent. Twenty, thir-
~, forty, and as high as fifty bushels
per acre of wheat to the acre-yields
unusual in other parts OF the wheat
growing portions of the continent
have attracted worldwide attention.
but what of oats, which yield forty,
fifty and as high as one hundred and
ten bushels per acre and carry off the
worlds prize, which, by the way, was
also done by wheat raised in Sas-
katchewan during last November at
the New York Land Show. And then,
there is the barley, with it's big yields,
and its excellent samples. Another
money-maker, and big one is flax.
The growing of fax is extensively car
ried on in Western Canada. The
writer has before him a circular is
sued. by prominent farmer at Saska-
toon. The circular deals with the
treatment of seed flax, the seeding
and harvesting. and attributes yields
Of less than 20 bushels per acre, to
later seeding, imperfect and illy-pre-
pared seed. He sowed twenty-five
pounds of seed per acre and had
yield of Twenty-Five bushels per acre.
This will probably dispose of at $3.50
per acre. Speaking of proper prepa-
ration Of seed and cultivation Of soil
and opportune sowing, in the circular
spoken of there is cited the case of a
Mr.. White, living fourteen miles
south of Rosetown, "who had fifteen
acres Of summer fallow a year ago
last summer. upon which he produced
thirty-three bushels to the acre, when
many in the district harvested for
want of crop. Now, there can be no
proper reason advanced why such a
crop should not have been produced
on all the lands of the same quality
In the adjacent district, provided they
had been worked and cared for in the
same manner. This year 191D the
same man had one hundred acres of
summer fallow, had something over
$500 bushels of wheat. He also had
1900 bushels Of oats and 300 bushels
of flax"
There are the cattle, the horses, the
roots and the vegetable products Of
Western Canada farms, all of which
individually and collectively deserve
special mention, and they are treated
of in the literature sent out on appli-
cation by the Government agents.
