0 HEALTH. o
0 o o o o O o o o o o o o o o

Health, wealth and wisdom are
promised to the individual who
goes to bed early and gets up early.
This axiom was written by one of
the ancestors of the modern helpful
adviser who tells how fond he is of
his employees who do not watch the
clock and who go to work few
minutes too early and quit a few
minutes too late, thus giving Him
something extra.
History does not record the
names of any of these encouraging
gentlemen who stuffed the pay en-
velope any thicker than the contract
called for.
However, that has nothing to do
with health.
Health may be obtained by sleep
ing out OF doors all the time. Also,
to preserve health, you should al
wavs sleep under shelter.
Health may be secured by eating
rothing but vegetables. Also, no
man may expect to be strong and
vigorous unless he eats plenty of
meat
Health is that which the pale per-
son in the vegetarian restaurant is
pursuing, but you can't get up speed
on handful OF nuts and glass of
water.
Health is what you pay the doc
For SO visit to tell you you have
impaired
Lots of people drink your health,
thereby impairing their own.
Anything you like to do or to eat
is bad for your health.
1t is better to travel with your
health than to allow it to elude you
so that you will have to travel for
it.-[Chicago Post.

Type of Tobacco for Gen.
eral Market,
BECAUSE IT IS MOST SALABlE
Yellow Pryor, Henderson I'm
proved and Lily Are
Good Types.
OF INTEREST TO FARMERS


To the Tobacco Growers Of the
Green River District:-The ques-
ton is being asked almost every
day, as has been before at this time
of the year, by the tobacco growers:
Which is the best type of tobacco to
grow?
There are two matters to con-
slider in answering this question.
One is the quality and nature OF
your soil, and the other is the trade
to which you dispose of your tobac-
co when ready for market.
While We would not attempt to
try to tell which would be the best
variety or type of tobacco to grow,
we can tell you, in our judgment,
which would be the best not to
grow, from the experience we have
had since we have been connected
with the association. There are two
kinds of tobacco grown here, or in
this district-however, not to a
great extent-known as the One
Sucker and the Tennessee Red, both
very undesirable to our customers
and If we expect to maintain an or
ganization, we ought to use every
possible means of satisfying our
customers.
Spencer county, Ind, since she
has been a member OF our organiza-
ton, has grown more of the narrow
leaf type than any other county
that belongs to us. Practically
speaking, south of the Ohio river
the growing of the One Sucker type,
with the exception of Hancock coun-
ty, has almost been eliminated.
Owing to the fact that such large
per cent. of the tobacco grown in
Spencer county, Ind, last year was
of the narrow leaf type, the asso-
citation was unable to make a sale
at the same price of the broad leaf,
while. on the other hand, We had to
take, much less money or no sale.
While there is not much grown
in this part of the district. the prin-
cipal part is grown in Hancock
county, and it is our honest opinion
that in the future the association
will not be able to get the same
price for the narrow leaf type that
n will for tho broad leaf
AS to the very best to. raise, we
cannot say, but we can name some
varieties or types that are very de-
sirable to the tobacco trade, name
ly: Yellow Pryor. Henderson I'M
proved, and the Lily, and on very
rich land the Little Hill is a very
desirable kind, being q very thick,
heavy tobacco, medium size, and a
most excellent manufacturing type.
So, in order that we may be able to
maintain one schedule of prices in
this district, we ask the farmers to
eliminate the growing OF the narrow
leaf types. and instead. to grow
only the broad leaf.
We hope this will be done, not
only for the sake of relieving the
Board of Control of being placed in
the embarrassing position OF max
ing two schedules of prices the COM
type of tobacco grown all over the
district that suits the trade.
Respectfully,

ADEQUATE BLOW TO UNIONIsM

Washington, Feb. 9.-Cruelties
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton toward the convict labor it en-
ployes in its Southern plants was
revealed to-day by Special Investi-
gator Shelby Harrison, testifying
before the Stanley committee.
Harrison testified that in May and
June of last year he entered the
camp Of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Company in the Birmingham
district and at that time $50 State
convicts and $40 county convicts
were employed.
He declared that the convict la
Dor system is primarily responsible
for the making of laws which des-
ignate comparatively trivial acts
as serious in order that the ranks
Of conviots may be swelled.
THE convicts are divided into
task groups according to their
physical condition" he said. There
are four such classes and at the
time ! made the investigation the
company paid $40 a month for each
man of the first class. The wage
scale decreased proportionately I'M
til when the last or fourth class was
reached the State received only
$1O.50 a month. County convicts
averaged $3.50 MONTH"
Attorneys for the Steel Corpora
ton declared that when the present
contracts for convicts expire no new
contracts. will be made.
According to Harrison. the men
were stripped and logged unmerci-
fully when they failed to accomplish
the tasks set for them.
THAT was the punishment for the
first offense in Mine No. 49," he
said. "lf the man persisted in fail
ing to accomplish the labors set, he
might be placed in solitary confine-
ment for thirty days.
ION the other hand, the company
offered a bonus fo- all coal mined
above certain amount" he said.
THE men are logged with a
three-ply, fve-foot leather thong"
he said.
How many ticks did they
striker" asked Mr.. Stanley.
Fifteen"
who strikes them?
"A warden in the pay of the COM
pany."
Harrison testified that he had
never seen a man foeged, but had
seen several afterwards. Their
backs were black aid blue.

Company whips it's own convicts

The committee brought Uut the
fact that the laws of Alabama are
directly against sucp practices and
suggested that Ha 'rison mov have
eeer only isolatel cases.
Asked what advantage convict la
bon is regarded as having over free
labor, Harrison said
Machine mining has equalized
the inexperience Of convicts. Con-
vict labor is regular and can be re-
he'd on from day 70 day and it is an
adequate blow to union labor"
Harrison admitted that he had
talked over the conditions with off,

He also told how officers Of the
law made thousands by the convict
labor system and by receiving 60

tyred Governor.
GOV. GoEBEL's DYING WORDS

Lieutenant Governor McDermott
and Congressman A. o. Stanley, OF
Henderson, were the speakers at the
memorial services in the Kentucky
Legislature last week in honor of
Gov. William Goebel Congressman
Stanley spoke of the great and val
liant services of Governor Goebel,
and said as an advocate of remedial
laws for the benefit of the people,
the Governor was 10 years ahead of
his time. Concluding his eloquent
tribute, Mr.. Stanley said:
Every once in a while in a CEN
fury a statesman arises towerlike
above his peers with a clear and an
ointed vision. II is a great pow
or, almost divine. Jefferson had it.,
and Lincoln had it. 1t was one of
the peculiar characteristics Of Will

He wrote his history in the stat
utes of his country. He labored for

lie service corporations, responsible

their business.
They thought he was . dema-
gogue, a disturber of the peace, a
corrupt, selfish fellow,seeking to ar
ray classes against classes-the rich
against the poor, the employe
against the employer, the corpora
ton against the citizens and the cit
liens against the corporation.
why, why, at that time, why, in
his young manhood; why, in the
preferment of his mental equipment,
in the height of his strength and
Vigor, when he had just placed his
hand upon the helm of the ship OF
state, when the old Commonwealth
and every fiber felt the master of
his mind, the inspiration of his high
ideals; why. at that time, should he
have been done to death? l can say
only this The will of the allseeing
God is mysterious Providence
which we cannot fathom.
When the hour came which he
had been expecting for weeks, and
the assassin's bullet went crashing
through his flesh, he took it as a
matter of course. and in the midst
of great agony, in the presence of
death, he reached out his arm and
took to his marble breast all the
suffering and the oppressed in Ken
lucky, and in a voice with the rattle
of death in his throat he said: BE
brave and loyal and true to the
great common people,
How long, oh, how long shall
Kentucky remain Kentucky? How
long shall Kentucky be the bright
est star in the constellation of
States? How long shall this be the
land of the free and the home of the
brave-the Mecca, the refuge of all
those who seek liberty and freedom?
II do not know, but this | do
know, that so long as Kentucky is
Kentucky, so long as the flag is I'M
soiled and waves over the land and
sea, so long as our fair daughters
succeed their mothers as mothers,
so long as a high aspiration re-
mains in every human heart, so
long as we shall love purity in wo-
men and courage in men. so long
will William Goebel's heroic figure
command the unspeakable reverence
of Kentucky and Kentuckians ev-
erywhere."
