STRONG APPEAL FOR 4
VERY RIGHTEOUS CAUSE

The West Kentucky Orphans
Home makes it's appeal for aid on
the following righteous grounds:
1t is doing nearly all the work
that is being done among the de-
pendent children of this end of the
State.
1t is doing 40 per cent of the
work being done in the entire State.
1t is doing 80 per cent as much
as the Louisville Home and on less
than 3 per cent of the money paid
that institution.
There are from Is to 90 children
in the Home all the time and the
monthly expense of the Home is
about $3.50.
Month after month its Superin-
tendent, Mr.. Humphrey, has paid
out of his onw private funds def
icits of from SIS to $S5. Besides
this he is giving gratuitously his
time and labor to the work.
At present he is incapacitated for
work by the loss of an eye and a
broken leg and Mrs. Humphrey, the
matrOn of the Home, has bravely
taken up his work of bringing in
and placing children and collecting
means to feed and clothe the little
ones.
The burden has become heavy
and generous assistance is needed.
This appeal in behalf of our
needy childhood is made in the
hope and belief that it will not be
lightly treated.
What shall your answer be?
Very respectfully yours,
w. d. HUMPHREY,
Supt. West Ky. Orphans Home,
Hopkinsville, Ky.

ment would be acknowledged, tore
the bills making that amount in
halt and sent them in with the
statement that the other half would
come in as soon as the department
acknowledged the receipt of the
first half. True to his word, the re-
naming fragments of the bills were
mailed as soon as the Federal ac-
knodledgment reached him. OF
course these bills were as good as
gold when they were pieced togeth-
er. and the conscience fund was in
creased quite materially.
Although a separate account of
this money is kept, the money itself
is placed in the Government vaults
and becomes a part of the nation s
funds. It has been suggested that
this money be set aside by act of
Congress for use in some benevolent
cause. Such use would certainly
not be inappropriate.-[The Path

1t Is Based on the Fertile
ty OF His Soil
AND He SHOULD RAISE STOCK
Outlook Of the Farmer As
Demonstrated By Oh
ViOuS Facts.
LESS GRAIN. MORE LIVE STOCK

While great deal has been said
about farm loans, it has remained
for a small circle of country bank
ers in the West to do something
really practical. There is nothing
startling in their idea, nor have
they asked anyone else to put il in
practice. 1t is simply their own
method for financing a farmer up to
his reasonable requirements
The first thing is TO improve the
farmers credit. These bankers are
among the first to realize fully that
a farmers credit is in his soil
Therefore, fertility, not acres, is the
basis of credit. They offer to ad-
vance funds at reasonable rates to
stock farms with well bred cattle
and hogs. One of these bankers
was scheduled for a public address
in Montana. His subject was "dai-
rying," because as he said. it made
the farmer better risk for the
banker and improved the general
credit of the community. Another
said: 81 would not refuse credit to
an hll-grain farmer, but | would
extend his credit if he kept live
stock"
There is a reason for this. 1t is
no more possible to raise crops
without food than it is to raise a
steer on air. Nature has stored the
necessary salts in the earth Tor
plant life. but every succeeding crop
depletes the supply. The farmer
who takes all and puts nothing
back is like railroad that pays out
all its earnings for dividends. and
applies nothing to maintenance.
When he hauls 100 bushels of
wheat TO market and burns the
straw, he is taking approximately
$3S worth of nitrogen. phosphorus
and potassium from the stored-up
supply in his soil. A similar amount
of corn, including the stalks, will
take about $50 worth of these ele-
ments; while about $40 goes into
the production of the same amount
of oats.
Animal products take but a neg
ligible net amount of these elements
from the soil. That is why dairy
ing makes the farmer a better risk
for the banker" Pork production
goes with dairying. When dairy
man has produced 900 pounds of
pork he has taken only about $3.50
from his soil. When a man sells
dairy products, beef, pork or NUT
ton, he is selling his produce in the
form of a highly finished product.
while the greater part of the essen
tial elements of fertility are return
ed to the land. But when he sells
MS crops themselves from the farm, /
ne is merely mining and selling fer
tility from his soil. Whatever is !
aiken from mine reduces its value. |
No amount of Congressional leg
Station can change these facts. The |
basis of credit is in the fer !
ility, of his soil. The upbuilding of |
hat fertility, and consequently his .
'wn future credit. rests upon less
Ill-grain and more livestock farm

HE RETURNS TO PARENTS
AFTER TWENTY YEARS

Glasgow, KY, Aug. 14.-While
Mr.. and Mrs. James Huffman, of the
eastern part of this county, were
talking on recent evening of
their son, Virgil Huffman, who went
to Alaska twenty years ago to seek
his fortune, and wondering il all
was well with him and if they
should ever see him again, they
were interrupted by a traveller who
asked if he could spend the evening
with them, as he was dusty and
tired from long journey. They
thought 1t was not convenient, as
they had guests in the home, but
the mother. with her heart full of
thoughts of the absent son, told the
stranger he could stay, and he was
asked to come in the house and get
his supper. The lights were turned
on and the mother turned to take
the hat of the stranger when she
stood face to face with her son,
twenty years older but the same
picture that had been in her heart
all the years. The young man had
prospered and has returned to his
home to spend his life with the fam
lily and friends he loved so we'll.

THREE VICTIMS

DRIVER HAD A HEART ATTACK

Columbus, o., Aug. 14.-Pinned
had backed through the East Broad
street bridge on the banks of Alum
creek, at the eastern edge of the
city, three persons met horrible
death tonight.
They were burned to a crisp in
gasoline flames, which were only
extinguished by the City Fire De-
partment after the fire had practi-
cally burned itself out an dconsum-
ed the automobile.

237 East Broad street, head of the
National Circulation Company, with
offices here.

2S.
ABRAHAM PAUL, 26, of 237
East Broad street, tailor.
Isabel Borders, 6 years old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B. Bor-
Gers, probably is fatally injured.
She is at Grant Hospital in this
city. She is terribly burned and
has suffered internal injuries.
Carelessness is believed to have
been responsible for the loss of life
after the accident. The machine
had backed through the bridge and
was lying about four feet from the
waters edge, with three of the oc-
cupants pinned under the car. Per-
sons in passing automobiles and
other vehicles on the thoroughfare
came running. and one struck
match to see what had happened.
Instantly the machine took fire.
In falling IL feet from the bridge
the gasoline tank burst, spreading
the fluid over the machine and oc-
cupants. The blaze swept over the
tlree victims, whose shrieks as they
burned made the scene hideous.
Powerless to aid them, onlookers
stood on the banks and bridge.
The Fire Department was called,
but water would not quench the
flames. which only died down when
they had burned themselves out.
Extraordinary was the rescue Of
Isabel Borders, who, physicians at
the hospital say, has just chance
to pull through. She was thrown
nloo. 90 tba ,,,aob;na uban uant
through the bridge, but her body
was covered with gasoline, which
took fire when the machine was ig
nited.
A bystander threw her into Alum
creek to save her, but the flames
continued unchecked. At this point

from Steubenville, and Warren Hill,

for some time and had headed their
machine west in East Broad street
to return home. On the city side of
Alum creek the Norfolk and West
ern track crosses East Broad street
on a grade crossing.
Borders, who was driving, stop
ped for passing train. AS the
gates were raised he attempted to
start his car. The machine is
self-starter. AS he took hold It APP
pears that he in some manner threw
the reverse lever.
In a second the machine was
backing rapidly toward the bridge.
With a crash it went through the
iron railing and turned over, pin
ming the occupants beneath. A
lighted match completed the wreck.
Friends tonight ascribed the ac-
cident to a possible attack of heart

utes before the wreck. They said
that he was subject to attacks OF
heart trouble, and believed that a
possible seizure was responsible for
his inability to throw off the re-
verse lever.
Mrs. Borders was the daughter OF
Charles Sanderson, of Delaware,
Ohio She was connected with the
Gazette Of that city before she and
Mr.. Borders were married.

months. He had offices in the Har-
rison building in this city. his bust
ness being the flotation of contests
to boom newspaper and periodical
circulation.
The Inflated party boarded at the
home of Mrs. ]. M. Durham. A
tragic feature in connection with
the accident was the fact that few
minutes after. the party left her
place, Mrs. Dunhams car passed the
scene of the accident. She stopped
and witnessed the removal of the
bodies, but never asked any ques-
tions, and it was not until she re-
turned to her home, two hours la
ter, that she learned of the fatali-
ties. She was Frustrated.
PremOnition of Fate.
Paris, KY, Aug. 15.-That Jo-
seph b. Borders, who, with his wife
and a companion, were burned to
death in an automobile accident at
Columbus, o., had a premonition
that he would meet his fate in this
manner was made known here,
where he and his family visited last
week. Borders was we'll known in
a number of Central Kentucky
towns, where he had been engaged
in special newspaper work, and for
the last five years it has been his
custom each summer to make an
automobile tour of this section.
Last week the family arrived for
a visit to Mr.. and Mrs. Swift Champ
in this city. While on trip to
Versailles the entire party had a
narrow escape from death when
brake rod on the machine broke
while ascending a steep hill Bor-
ders was discussing the accident
with friend here before his de-
parture for Columbus last Saturday,
and when asked when he intended
to again visit this section he said:
81 fear | have made my last visit
to Kentucky; series of narrow es-
capes has caused me to feel that
some time or other | will make one
trip too many"
While returning from Lexington
last summer a motor car driven by |
Borders collided with telephone
pole on the Paris pike, when an
axle broke, but the occupants of the
,ar escaped without injury.

tulithic was submitted last summer in
response to advertised call for tenta-
tive bids for hard surface. Two other
paving companies of Portland sub
mitted higher bids for this same
pavement and another paving company
submitted bid for Dollarway pave
ment. These bids were submitted in
the widest competition possible and
after considerable agitation by rival
paving companies, and as is we'll
known, the property owners, by con-
siderable majority choose gravel BIZ
tulitchic as the pavement to be laid
Previous to the time our company
submitted its tentative bid of $1.45 per
square yard we were here on the
ground, with our plant and full equip
ment and with portion of the over
head charges taken care of on pre-
vious contracts and therefore GER
tainly in a position to submit a lower
bid than any other company for the
same kind of pavement. Furthermore,
at the time We fixed this extremely
low bid there was a very strong sem
timent in favor of street improve
ment and every indication pointed to
at least $4,000 square yards for the
year. Under these circumstances
Pendleton was given the advantage Of
an exceptionally low price for a
standard pavement which price was
established even before the tentative
bids were called for. That this price
was the lowest possible figure con-
sistent with a reasonable profit should
be proven by the fact that the sa ne
price was submitted in the tentative
bid in competition with all othe
types of hard surface and lower than
the bid of other paving companies for
the same kind of pavement.
AS a matter of fact, there is no city
in the Northwest which has the ad-
vantage of a lower price than is Of
fered Pendleton for a first class de-
pendable pavement.
Instead of our getting $4,000 yards
last year, only $4,000 yards were
brought out, which fact makes it ne,
cessary for us to look to this years
work to justify the low price offered.
The fact that only one bid has been
submitted for gravel bitulithic on all
recent contracts awarded by the city
does not show lack of competition, but
clearly establishes the point We are
trying to make, that on account of
the extremely low price. that the
aforementioned circumstances made II
possible for US to bid, the rival paving
companies realize that they cannot
underbid us at this figure and make
any profit on the work
AS for bids submitted on different
kinds of pavement, full consideration
should be given to relative merit
along with comparative cost, and when
these points are carefully considered,
we do not fear competition with any
pavement on the market today, no
matter how cheap in first cost.
Yours respectfully,
