WHY WASTE HUMAN EFFORT?

The harvest which has just passed
witnessed a greater lack of farm help
than perhaps any harvest that we
have known. The cry for farm labor
ers from the Northwest, megaphoned
over the entire country, lost none Of
its intensity when heard at short
range. Farmers boarded trains at the
station Offering $500. $3.50 per day
and in some cases more for farm help.
Their solicitations were met by the
stare and dumb silence of the passen-
gers.
At this point one is apt to ask
"why," if such is the case, and there
seems to be no doubt but that it is
is the farm help problem growing
greater year after year. There are
many reasons for this-some are lured
away from the farm by the attrac-
tions of the city. while others turn
their backs to the f@rm because of the
drudgery and long hours they are re-
duired to work on the ordinary farm
It is right and proper that the farmer
should work long hours during certain
seasons Of the year in order to save
the crop. but we find the largest per-
centage do net stop at this point, but
pride themselves in early rising, say
ing nothing. however, Of the work
actually accomplished. We do not
wish to discountenance early rising;
but that in itself viii not be produc-
tive of results. We often hear the old
adage, 'the early bird catches the
worm"-this success was not neces-
sarily due TO early rising but to know
ing where to go; in other words, the
farmer should combine with early
rising-early and careful planning.

the case that it takes fifteen or twenty

BY the proper arrangement of farm

much easier and usually takes no more
time to unload a load of corn or grain

held as a witness.
Hummel was found dead in bed on
March 20 with bullet wound in his
head. There were powder marks about
the wound, indicating that the pistol
had been fired at close quarters. Tie
belief at the time was that death was
due to suicide, and a corOner's invas-
tigation resulted in a verdict to that
effect
Miss Hummel is twenty-siX years Of
age and was formerly married, bu, IS
now divorced. She says that on the
evening of the murder her father was
alone in the house, reclining on mis-
back on a lounge in the sitting room

Why not Powell Supply the Demand.


Powell county grows the finest
watermelons in the country any
where, manv of them, under
proper cultivation, this season
reaching the enormous weight of
so pounds. The Winchester pa
pers are boasting of the great
number of carloads of melons be-
ing shipped there from the South,
and now later from Iowa. Here
is an object lesson. If Iowa
farmers can get rich, as they are
doing in many instances, by
growing watermelons on 800 a.
ere land and paying the freight
on them a thousand miles to
Winchester, where they are sold
at a less price than home growers
charge for them, it casually oc-
ours to the Times that some of
our Powell energetic farmers
who like to grow them go we'll,
could at least make living grow
ine them on $1Oper acre land ard

The TINES and

A friend stepped up to us the
other day aud asked why We were
so opposed to the l.. d. N. Be-
ing loaded, we pulled freight
bill that neighbour handed to us
and presented it to our friend as
an explanation. 1t was a receipt
for 81 cents freight from Chicago,
of which 90 cents was for hauling
IS poJods of mercha ndlse from
Che. % TO Lexington aud IS
cen,a for hauling the same mer-
cha adise rom Lexington to Clay
City. If there is sane or rea-
sonable person in this county,
that con explain to us where the
justice of this comes in, the writ
er will never say another word a
bout the l.. &. N.
The above incident, while, it is
within itself very Insignificant,
it is the experience of every one
who receives freight here over
the l.. d N. The rates over the
l.. q N. are always more than
double any other road when not
interfered with, and we believe
in interfering.
If other railroads can haul a
certain quantity of goods from
Chicago tC Lexington for 20 cents,
we would like to know why the
l.. d N. has to have So cents for
hauling it on to Clay City? 9th
er roads carry it ten times as far
for one half the money. Is this
right?
1t has been said that the l.. &

better for this road to be sold to

and intend to see that the l.. Il

gal purchase of the l.. & 4. and

be. If you want to help az fight
