Owen County Growers.

Owen county tobacco growers
want 10 "cut out the 1913 crop 80

been received by number of promi-
nent tobacco men:
Owenton, Ky, Sept. II. 1912
Dear Sir
We mean the 1918 tobacco crop.
Today the world is full of tobacco.
and fortunately. the 1912 crop is
still in the hands of those who grew
it. Ii has been grown with much
labor and expense. and the one vital
question TO consider now is it, value
in dollars and cents. With No on
ganization among farmers. what
chance will they have to obtain even
an approximately fair consideration
for their years work. Present
prices are ruinously low. and unless
some decisive step is taken they are
sure to 20 still lower.
A pool. possibly. il out of the
question. The only thing left is n
cut out. We know positively that
liz was the cut out of 1905 that
brought the Trust To its milk. With
out il We never would have sold the
1907 crop for IL cents pound. The
same thing can be done again, and
done easily-without trouble or harm
to anyone. AT meeting here Sat
urday the farmers voted unanimous
~ in favor of cut out. They are
willing to continue their fight against
low prices. but they cannot. and will
not. do ii alone. The movement
must be general. Representative
men from several counties have Civ
en- favorable answers to inquiries
sent them. So far. not an adverse
opinion has been heard. Every
body SAYS it is the only thing 10 do
but and YOU know there is II

ings must he held at once in ali
counties. the question must be agi-
iated in the county papers, and n

sentatives should be held at an early

DATES ANNOUNCED FOR
LYCEUM ATTRACTIONS


Much interest is already being
manifested ia the community ia the
Lyceum Course program which will
he offered to the public this win
ter ut the Stanford Opera House
under the auspices of the Stanford
Lyceum Club. The popularity of the
entertainments provided last season
was 80 great that practically ali
who obtained season tickets for the
last course, have expressed a de-
sire to secure tickets for the entire
course this season. In order that
those who buy tickets for the en-
tire course may be assured of their
reserved seats for the entire five
numbers. the same arrangement has
been perfected that proved so salts
factory last season. Each season
ticket sold will be marked for the
seat selected by the patron, and will
lie his or her seat for the entire
program. The season tickets which
are $3.50 and - have been placed
on sale at Penny's Drug Store. where
reservations will be made in the or
der in which the tickets are secured
by the purchasers. 1t will be a case
of first come first served, and
those who buy their season tickets
early will be assured of choice of
seats in the house.
The Redpath Lyceum Bureau,
through which agency these attrac-
tions are secured, assures the local
promoters that the program selected
for this years course is much better
than last seasons numbers, which,
if true means great deal to those
who love a high class, clean and
eievating entertainment. No attrac-
ton of any sort ever given in Stan
ford gave the universal satisfaction
that the last seasons Lyceum
course did. Each and every number
was jewel, the musical events be-
ing particularly attractive and pop
ular. Reno, the Magician was a
great hit, and was greeted by one of
the largest crowds of the season;
but at that. Laurant, who will work

be in higher class than Reno, if
such a thing were possible. lie car
ries a complete troupe of assistants
with hi,n, and the things he does
are said to be nothing short of mir
aculous.
The lecture number has been dis
pensed with this season, in defer
ence to so many personal requests
+; and musical number has been sup
piled in its stead, which will I'M
doubtedly make the course still more
popular. The complete list of the
five attractions and the dates on
which they will be here. which dates
will he found printed on each sea-
son ticket-are a follows:
October 22-The Boyds. in song

clan.

RURAL SCHOOL LEAGUES
Are Urged to Various Districts BY
Supervisor McMuIIin.

Ii is an indisputable fact that the
rural school system heretofore has
received about as little attention as
any one of the units which go to
make up this great republic of ours,
but believe the people are slowly
awakening at last and that we shah
now watch the school system as it
shares itself out of its snail like
gait and strides on faster and yet
faster till it stands in the front
column.
Now it is and has been my wish
as well as my duty to do all that
| can in my limited sphere for the
betterment of the rural school. |
began by trying to get teachers i'll
as many sub-districts as possible to
arganize School Improvement Lea
CUES. The aim of these leagues will be
to improve the house. grounds, fences
and if possible raise enough money
to extend the term of school to seven
months instead of six. Several of
the teachers who have their eyes
open and can see the great benefit
of this work are getting busy. To
Mr.. Cyrus Johnson, Div. 3, Sub. 3,
School known as the Ellison School
in unison with the patrons of said
district, is due the honor of estab-
fishing the first successful league.
Mr.. johnson is real live wire and
those energetic patrons who are
era ,ping at this oppntunitv to give
their children better educational
advantages that they may be more
able to cope with their adversaries
in the future battle of life which they
shall have to fioht. are to be COM
mended in the highest terms. Teach
ers lets see how many leagues we
can organize. If YOU desire infor-
nation write to me and | will be
giad to help You with your league.
