tunity to Study Late Systems.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Louisville, Ky.-Kentucky printers
will have chance to learn all about
Cost Systems and how they are run at
Louisville, April %.
1t was determined by the Executive
Committee of the Kentucky Cost Con-
gress to make this work practical, es-
pecially for the small printer, and for
those in inland towns, where they
could not obtain expert advise in re-
gard to cost system.
A great deal of misunderstanding in
regard to costs have obtained among
the printers, because they did not ex-
actly understand the proposition To
show exactly what a cost system is,
how simply it works, and yet accurate,
the Kentucky Committee will hold a
Cost School, April 23rd, instead of a
Convention or Congress. There will
not be any "speechify" or hot airs, or
anything of the kind. The committee
has secured Secretary r. T. Porte OF
the Ben Franklin Club of Cincinnati,
as teacher and he will act as school
master to all the printers.-big or lit
ue-who want to know about cost
systems.
Three sessions of the school will
be held. The first on Wednesday
morning at $50; the second at 100
p. m. and the third at 4:30 p. m.
Each session will begin promptly on
time and printers who want to take
advantage of this opportunity should
be on hand at the tap of the bell We'd

Thos who desire to attend the
school write w. C. Session, Secretary,

CONTRACT FOR DAM LET
Engineering Feat Involving Million
and Half Dollars Soon to
be Begun.

Harrodsburg, Ky.-It is believed
that the work of constructing the Dix
River Power dam will be begun before
many months. The contract for build
ing the dam has been let to Boston
firm for $1,400,O00. The dam is to be
173 feet high, it's foundation 200 feet
long and its top course, from cliff to
cliff, 900 feet. The water will be pre-
vented from flowing over the dam by a
"spillway" eight feet deep on the Gar
rard side. The transmission plant will
be built on the Mercer side of the
river. It's capacity will be $4,000 horse
power. The surface of the water held
back by the dam will approximate
$500 acres, including river bottom and
various creeks. The back water will
extend up the river twenty-six miles
from the dam TO bridge over the
river on the pike leading from Dan
vile to Bryantsville. Plans for an
iron bridge to span the reservoir about
200 yards up the river from Kennedy's
Mill have been approved. When the
big dam has been completed the sites
of the bridge now connecting Mercer
and Garrard counties and the site of
Kennedy's Mill will be 100 feet under
the water.

KILL THE COOLING MOTH.
Doing Great Damage Among Kentucky
Fruit Growers-ls Known as
apple Worm"

Frankfort, Ky.-Of all the insects
that infest and prey upon the apple
none is causing greater loss and dam
age than the cooling moth, more famil-
iarly known as the apple worm" The
actual loss sustained by Kentucky
fruit growers is hardly appreciated, as
most of the wormy fruit drops off pre-
maturely, and is not observed, but it
is safe to say that over so per cent
of all the apples raised in the state
are infested with the larvae of the
cooling moth.
The mature insect belongs to a
class of insects commonly known as
millers The moth is grayish brown
in appearance, and usually flies at
night about the time the young fruits
are forming. The female deposits her
eggs singly at the calyx end of the
fruit and on the nearby leaves and
branches. The individual egg upon
the leaf or fruit looks very much like
a small white blister and is smaller
then the head of pin. The number
of eggs laid by a single female ranges
from so to 20. The eggs hatch in from
8 to 10 days after they are laid. AS
soon as the worm matches it crawls
to the nearest apple and usually eats
its way in through the calyx or bios
som end
In order to control this insect it is
best to spray just after the blossoms
drop and before the calyx cup closes.
If the spraying is put off, the calyx cup
closes and it becomes impossible to
deposit any poison within it. The calyx
cup remains open from seven to ten
days after the blossoms fall and the
spray may be applied during this time.
To get the best results it may be
necessary to make a second applica-
ton from ten days to two weeks later
and for the second brood from the
middle of July to the first of August
These sprayings are important.
Care should be taken to cover the
tree in thorough manner. Try to
place a particle of the poisoned spray
in the open calyx cup of of every
apple. To prevent further appearance
OF the codling moth fallen fruits should
be destroyed, either by gathering or
by allowing hogs to run in the orchard
Detailed information will be furnished
free by the Extension Division of the
Experiment station.

In May, 1888, he founded the Lex
ington Leader and since has been its
editor and for several years its sole
owner. In November, 1888, he went
back to Canton and married Miss An
ma Trout, who survives him.
Mr.. Roberts exercised a great infiu-
ence in his party in Kentucky. He
was chairman of the Republican state
campaign committee in 1896, in behalf
of his lifelong friend, William McKin-
ley, with the result that II of the 10
presidential electors for the Republic
an ticket were elected, it being the
first time in the states history that
the Republicans carried it.
When Mckinley came into office one
of his first acts was to appoint Mr.
Roberts collector of internal revenue
for the Lexington district and he
served in that capacity for IL years,
declining TO be an applicant under the
administration of President Taft.

WHERE IS GEORGE?

Mystery surrounds the strange dis
anpeaarnce Of George Maccalusso, a
goat herder who lives near Primero
and who disappeared eighteen days
ago. Coroner sipe, who was notified
yesterday. has been unable to find
any trace of the mans whereabouts
and his relatives believe that he has
met with foul play and that his body
has been done away with. Yesterday
a horse belonging to the missing man
and which he was seen riding when
he left Primero, was found dead near
Hastings. The flesh of the animal
had been stripped from the bones,
probably by coyotes, says the Trinidad
Chronicle-News.
Maocalusso left Primero early in the
morning Of october IS to ride to Hast
ings. He did not return and next day
a search was instituted. Frequent
searches have been made since then
but with no avail His wife and two
children are living at Primero and

NV YORK srocK ExoHANeE

New York, Nov. 6.-ExperimentaI
operations by the bear faction indicat-
ed that the early demand for stocks
had been satisfied. Pressure was
then applied until the leaders reced-
ed point or more. When shorts
had covered some of their contracts
there was no further support for the
market which fell back further than
it had advanced.
The Mexican situation once more
was the main restricting influence,
but momentary conditions also tended
to check speculation. Reports that
opposition to the New Haven's $67,-
100000 issue Of debentures had been
withdrawn was the cause of the
strength of the roads securities.
Bonds were steady.
The whole market was shaken after
midday by the heavy liquidation of
steel. Blocks Of thousands Of shares
were unloaded and it fell to 5494, with
much of the selling from out of town
sources. Dissatisfaction with the
trade situation both here and abroad
prompted the selling.
Aggressive selling let up but the
market failed to rally despite the en-
gagement of another 100000 gold for
import.

WOMEN 70 TALK POLITICS

Peoria, H., Nov 6.-Unusual en-
thusiasm characterized the proceed
ings today at the opening of the forty
fifth annual convention Of the Illinois
Equal Suffrage association by State
President Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout.
1t is the first annual gathering since
the great victory of the Illinois suf-
fragists last spring, when the state
legislature granted to them the right
to vote on all but state tickets, and
it is quite natural that the delegates
representing the woman suffrage or
ganizations of the state would feel
elated over their success. Yet, a spir-
it of seriousness seemed to pervade
the gathering and the president and
the other speakers were loudly ap-
plauded when they sought to impress
upon the delegates the necessity to
perfect the political organization Of
the women Of Illinois and to teach
them, more fully the responsibilities
of the newly gained franchise and the
best use to make of this right

sion three days and the programs for

TRODBADORS PLEASE
C29VD AT ELKS'
THE CONCERT LAST EVENING is
FOLLOWED BY INFORMAL
DANCE

The concert given iast evening at
the Elks' club house by Byron's Trou-
hadours was high class in every re
spent. The troupe is made up of mu-
sicians who seem capable Of handling
any variety Of music with any variety
Of musical instruments or with their
voices. The orchestral work was
great, as was the violin and piano
playing. The company possesses a
baritone with voice OF wonderful
range. He was compelled to respond
to several encores. A harpist brought
forth delightful strains from his in
strument. The music handled was Of
high grade, The popular selections
were those Of musical merit while
the more heavy numbers were from
the best composers.
So we'll did the Troubadours dem
onstrate their ability to play ragtime
music that the Elks engaged their
services after the concert, giving an
informal dance. All those who at
tended the concert were invited to
remain and dance. This affair was
most enjoyable. The entertainment
committee Of the lodge, Dr. G. S.
Losey and Arthur 1feld, deserve great
credit for the success Of the affair
