The irrepressible knocker who says
"this is presidential year, look out for
a panic" is early abroad in the land
with his spoky prediction. There never
was in reality any cause for such nom
sense, and in the present instance there
is if anything less cause than ever be
fore. The fear that complete change
of administrator, from one party to
the other, would create a complete
change of financial policy, is what or
iginally gave rise to such belief, and
it is fact that some severe panics
have occurred in presidential years.
But at present the policies of the two
geat parties are lain along such SINH
lar lines, that even were there a COM
plete change, there is no reason why it
should effect the business of the county.
The panic bugaboo in 1912 should
frighten no one. The country is in a
prosperous condition, no idle industries,
comparatively few idle people. our
products commanding fair prices, and
every prospect for a prosperous year

Do Not 0verproduce.

Some plant beds have already been
sown, and farmers are impatiently
awaiting the advent of more propitious
weather to get their beds in readiness
and sown. Everything points to a
large acreage in this county during the
current year. The splendid prices re-
allied during the last season have
stimulated the farmers to increase the
acreage. In this very fact we believe
there is danger. We believe that an
increase in acreage will mean a de-
crease in quality and consequent
slump in prices. AS we have always
advocated, we believe that it is best
for every grower to put out only just
what he can properly handle, having in
view the labor obtainable, the amount
of barn room at his disposal and every
thing else that is required for the prop
er handling of the crop.

Seeep Raising On The Increase.

A careful canvass among the far
mers of Garrard county indicates that
the sheep raising industry in Garrard
county has increased fully so per cent
within the last ten years. 1t has not
been many years since flock of sheep
was scarcely to be seen in days ride,
now about one out of every five farm
ers has bunch of sheep on his place.
The average of providing and worthless
ours have a tendency to discourage the
industry, but the dog law now upon
the statute books of the state in some
measure recompenses them for their
losses, and Garrard county furnishes
about as many ''spring lambs to the
early market as any county in the blue
grass section.

The Ten Year Pool.

After careful inquiry we are in
clined to believe that the reports sent
out from Garrard county in regard to
the number of acres placed in the Ten
Year pool from this county has been
grossly exaggerated. DR.. ]. A. Anon,
who is in close tooch with the people
back OF this movement, and who has
always been prominently identified
with the pooling of tobacco in the
state, tells US that he has pooled seven
acres, and that he knows of not an
other acre in the county which was
placed in the pool. He tells US further
that he is in position to know and if
there had been any other tobacco in
Garrard county pooled, it is mere than
probable that he would have known it.

5000, 600 pounds per annum, quail
ty of white hurley not excelled in this
or any other state, compelled to seek
market away from home. A conserva-
tive estimate of the value of this crop
is 10 cents per pound. $4,000, 900. brought
to the tobacco growers of the county
annually. The annual gross cost of
marketing this production is $22, 500,
which is low estimate. Say the pro-
ducers spend 5per cent of their receipts
where they market their crop, which is
placing it at the very lowest approx
nation, means $25, 200. loss to home
merchants, this added to the marketing
cost makes S45, 900. taken from the
county annually, and unnecessarily.
These figures are correct and based on
the minimum. Merchants cry out a.
gainst mail order houses, and that they
are menace to home industries, we
will admit, but it does seem to US that
the absence of home market is a
much larger losing proposition than the
Mail order houses are a menace, and
one for which the remedy lies in our
own hands.
Establish loose leaf tobacco ware
house in Lancaster and keep this $50,
600 at home which is annually expend-
ed in neighboring towns. All;over the
state these markets are being estab-
lished, in towns of much smaller size
than Lancaster, and in counties where
not one third the quantity and nothing
like the quality of tobacco is produced
as in Garrard county; towns which al
ready have houses are building addit-
ional ones. Buyers are readily furnish
ed to these people, why not to US.
We believe that the idea that we could
not secure buyers is ridiculous. We
believe that if market were estab-
lished here that buyers would be fur
nished, that they would be sent here in
preference to towns where there is less
production and the quality is not so
good. We now have the opportunity
to test this theory anyway, let US push
the matter along and leave no stone
unturned to see whether or not the
purchasers of high grade hurley will
discriminate against Garrard county in
favor of the entire world.

There is a widespread feeling
throughout the land that the
maximum concession that can be
gained through parliament has
been gained, and that if the men
do not vote to return to work, the
government will use troops to-
end the strike.
This belief was strengthened,
by the activity in military chr
cies today. The great troop
trains that have been standing on
the siding at the big military
depots were put in readiness for
instant departure. Engines were
attached. Baggage cars were.
loaded down with camp equip
ment.
The transport automobiles of
the engineers branch of the army
also were fitted out. The whole
fighting force of Great Britain is
ready to move on the coal dis.
tricts on signal.
Premier Asquith has made it
plain that if the men do not go
back to work he will send plenty
of soldiers to the mines so the
owners can make good their boast
that they can operate with non
union men if furnished protec-
ton.
1--WE expect trouble, y said a
leading official this afternoon.
''We are ready for it. If the men.
do not accept what are really lib
eral terms, then all we~can do is
assure the owners that the right

quarters announced that the re-

miners shall return. to work. I'M
der the terms of the minimum
wage scale law passed by parlia-
ment, stood:
Against returning ..135,000
For returning ...... $4,000
Many of the miners who voted
to accept the law have already.
gone back to work in the pits.
1t is estimated that 10000 are at
work today.
If, when all the miners have
voted, the decision is against 60
ing back to work, the mine own
ers are counting on wholesale de-
sertions from the union. This
will mean trouble.
The announcement of the vote
tonight came as a shock. For the
last few days the leaders of the
miners union have been conf
IDENTIFY predicting that the men
would vote to return to work and
try out the new law.
Government and commercial
circles took this for granted, and
preparations for a return to nor
NAL conditions were made. Now
it is apparent that not only are
the men likely to vote not to go
back to work, but even if they do
SO, it is likely to be by so small a
majority that the militant MEM
bers of the organization are like
ly to refuse to stand by the vote.

night. The complete result is ex-
pected to be available early |
