lowed.

w. R. Howell. former Common
wealth's Attorney, is believed to
have the best crop of corn in Trigg
county. Though be made a
splendid prosecuting attorney he
had heard the call. Back to the
Farm" and on the farm he has been
most of the time since the expiration
of his term of office. He is what
may be termed progressive farmer
and has fallen into the line Of culti-
walton suggested by men who have
studied the most scientific modes of
making a farm pay. His present
crop is expected to average from Is
to 20 barrels to the acre-75 to 100
bushels. At the present price of
&.O0 per bbl.. his crop will bring
$50 to $50 per acre. The question
naturally arises what use is there in
growing tobacco these trouble
some times, which will yield about
800 lbs. to the acre and net about z
cents per pound and requires great
deal more labor and risk when corn
can be so much more easily raised
and bring better returns. Why not
cut out tobacco and follow the plan
of some tobacco growers in the Bur-
ly district?

In The Franchise Assessments
Of The State Of
Kentucky.
THE L. & N. HARDEST HIT
Was Given A Raise Of More
Than Three Hundred
Percent.

Frankfort. Ky.,-The State Board
of Valuation and Assessment has
finished its work of assessing the
franchises of the railroad, express
companies and traction companies,
corporations of the State, and in
creases amounting to about $780,.
100000 have been decided upon.
These increases, if sustained by the
courts, will net the State alone
about 100000 additional revenue.
In addition tie assessment will be
certitis ID to the various cities, towns
and Counties, and if the assessments
are followed they will mean an in
crease IN the State, counties and
cities Of nearly 100000 in taxes.
The board, it is learned, did not.
consider any compromise in the
matter, b t cut the assessment
agreed upon earlier in the year. At
that time it was decided to make the
"nole increase about $l37. 900. co.,.
but after some discussion it was de-
cided to reduce this to 100000 600.
Fight In Courts Likely.
1t is believed TO be certainthat the
corporations head, d by the Z. & N.
railway wilt fight the matter in the
courts. This will delay action and
probably will mean an extra session
of the Legislature to raise money to
run the State while the matter is in
the courts.
Among the principal increases, in
round numbers, are the following:
L. & N. railroad, from ST., 0OO, 600,
in 1911 to $45. 100000
Chesapeake & Ohio railway, from
81, 100000 in 1911 to $40 600, 600.
illinois Central railway, from So
100000 in 1911 to 100000
Louisville Railway Company and
its interurban lines, from about So.
100000 in 1911 to $4,000. 900.

ST. JOHN, N. B., June 20.-Tle
electors throughout New Bruins wick
are today expressing tleir political
preferences and on their verdict de-
pends the fate OF the Conservative
Convention, which, under the leader
ship of J. K. Flemming and previously
under J. D. Hazen, whom Mr.. Flem-
ming succeeded when the former
entered the Dominion cabinet, has
been in office for four years. The
campaign has been rather spirited
one, the Opposition putting up candi-
dates in practically every constituent
cy. In it's campaign for renewal of
its power the Government points to
the success of its policies for the en-
of industry and the de-
velopment of the national resources
of the Province. The Opposition lead
ers have confined themselves princL
pally to a criticism of the Govern
ments handling of the finances. Tie
general opinion is hat while the Op-
position may win one or two seats
from the Government, they are likely
to lose at least an equal number of
seats held in the last legislature, so
that the Government will come out Of
the contest as strong as ever.

A new. ERA In THE
AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY
Studebaker Company Makes
Changes for Good Of Dealer
and Customer

One of the indications of big
change in the movement of the auto
mobile industry is the reorganization
of the sales end of the Studebaker
Corporation. The Studebakers have
a sixty-year perspective in tie wagon
industry and since their entry into
the automobile field have held man
ufacturing pace that has made auto
mobile history.
According to Clement studebaker,
Jr., First Vice President of he Cor
poration, times are ripe for changes.
"The Automobile business" said
Mr.. Studebaker, cant be run in the
future as it has in the past The
automobile is no longer an expert
ment, novelty or toy. 1t is an i'm
mensely important mechanical fea-
ture of our natural life. The Wild
Cat schemes are over. Mushroom
growtis are at an end. The rush into
the automobile manufacture, the
craze for trash and novelty, the sys-
TENS of making and selling, the reck-
less disregard of after service in
car, will not be tolerated by the car
users of the future-and careful manu-
facturers have got to think about tle
future.
"Our reorganization is based on the
new needs of the business as we see
them. We want the highest stand
ardization in manufacture. To attain
this we have established an Engineer
ing Board with James G. Hazelett as
its chief. Mr.. Haeslett and his asso-
clates will aim not only to specialize
production as to give the best cars for
the money, but SO to standardize the
units as to guarantee convenience,
efficiency and economy of service in
the use of the cars. Maitenance serv.
ice to car owners has never received
sufficient attention in the industry as
a whole. We want Studebaker serv-
ice to mean something-and to mean
something anywhere in the world. We
can now sell car or a part of car
in San Francisco for delivery in the
Berksdires.
I'VE realize that If the Studebaker
Corporation is to meet the new condi-
tions we must have experts at every
point of contact with the conditions.
We have ransacked the country for
the best men, and we have found
them. Ernest r. Benson at the head
of the Auto Sales Department is one
Of the ablest men in the field, and the
same may be said of Arthur l. Philip,
who is Assistant Sales Menager. For
eign Sales will be in the experienced
hands of w. H. Lally-and foreign
business is growing extraordinarily.
I need not tell you that our general
manager, Mr.. J. N. Gum, is in full
sympathy with the spirit of our re-
organization and that he personally
exemplifies the principles of rational
business in a brillanS way.
IN fact" continued Mr.. Studebak-
er, "business methods as well as man.
ufacturing methods need standardiza.
tion if public confidence is to be main
tanned and practical economy to be
conserved. That word confidence
