COOPERATION was the Keynote

NO-OPERATION was the keynote
Of the great Camden barbecue,
~ which was held I'm the huge
woods pasture outside Of Yer
sailles on the goth. Many noted
speakers from every part OF the Unit
ed States told of the effects of cooper
alton among farmers, but the salient
point of this social and educational
event was that the host and his neigh
bors and his friends were an example
of what cooperation can accomplish.
Cooperation Helped.
Your correspondent was congratulate
ing Mr.. Camden on the great success
of his educational barbecue when he
smiled and interrupted him by saying,
81 am delighted that you feel as you
do about this affair, but the thing
which has made II a complete success
is the cooperation of my good friends
and neighbors." Pausing moment to
point toward the big tent where the
meals were being carved and sand
witches distributed, he continued: "A
number of those white aproned fell
lows that you see in that tent busy
slicing meat and waiting on the peo-
pie are my neighbors. who are helping
- make this a real success. No men
VI / might have been able to hire for
mere money could have created the
splendid atmosphere that these good
friends have And the mayor and the
men of Versailles have agreed that all
stores shall be closed from 10 until
today. 1t is all cooperation. Tell
your paper that this barbecue is as

or Nentuckians to do things when their
attention and interests are ceutered
upon those things. 1t is because Of
my ambition and hope to personally
help in quickening this movement that
| decided to give this barbecue. Tell
ing you again of the pleasure it gives
me in having you here today, will
now turn over the proceedings of the
day to the chairman"

Twenty Thousand at Educational Barbecue


roasting meat and night had settled
over the hills the barbecue grounds be-
came a mass Of shifting grotesque
shadows, savory odors and wood
smoke. Fly early morning the FIVE
huge kettles were bubbling contentedly
with rich, thick old fashioned burgoo.
1t seemed as If enough food had been
prepared overnight to feed an army.
Several gentlemen were standing
near one Of the numerous tanks that
were kept filed with ice and water for
the thirsty crowd. At length one Of
them remarked: "I'm as thirsty as I
can be, but I'm afraid to drink that
water. 1t looks little muddy, and
I'm always afraid of getting typhoid
fever when the water supply is as low
as it is now after long drought"
Water Was Analysed.
The men were still hesitating when
one of Mr. Camden's friends stepped
up and remarked casually: 81 think /
can make you comfortable about the
water Mr.. Camden usually does things
up brown. He thought that there
might be some danger, so he had this
water analysed to be on the safe side.'
Each of the men took several deep
drinks and looked much relieved.
A Crowd of 10000.
The crowd? Oh, it was estimated all
the way from 10000 to 10000 There
must have been the full 10000 that
was given as the heading for this sto-
ry of the barbecue because 1000 au-
tomobiles were parked on the grounds

Great Farming State.

"Yet, while the mineral wealth OF
the state is vital thing and means
more TO us than we can now under
stand. to my mind the very soul and
heart of Kentucky must always dwell
In her farm lands and pastures, beau
tiful, gently rolling, the fairest and
greenest the sun shines upon and
fruitful as the delta of the Nile. Ken
lucky will ever be a great farming
state, and the character of her agri-
culture will determine the character
and development of her people. Some
one has well said that a people cannot
be greater or stronger than their soil.
"What / wish to draw attention to
today and TO emphasize is the well
recognized fact that In mining, manu-
featuring and all productive enter
prises the basic form Of wealth is In
itself only about 80 per cent of the
problem involved. The other 80 per
cent is i'm organization, which really
means cooperation. Granting that
our soil would grade No. i'm fertility
which I'm many cases IL will not do
though by intelligent and industrious
methods It can be made to-as we
now stand. with our imperfect system
OF soil education, organization and co
operation, we farmers are realizing bu'
half of what we are entitled TO from
our farms.

SUGAR TRUST NOW
MAKES ITS PEACE
Settlement With Govt Expected
to Call for Separation of
Important Properties.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-That the
sugar trust has made it's peace" with
the United States government and
that the department of Justice will
announce the terms Of settlement on
Friday next is the report made public
today. On November %, 1910, an
action was begun by the United States
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law.
James M. Beck. counsel for the
sugar company, refused to comment
on the report. It was said at Mr..
Beck's office that he had gone to
Washington. Frank L. Crawford, also
counsel for the sugar company, said
he had heard of no settlement of the
litigation. When asked whether the
sugar company was making efforts to
reach an agreement with the attor-
ney-general at Washington, he re-
ferred inquirers to Mr. Beck.
Since the settlement made by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company with the government,
whereby the telephone company ar
ranged to dispose of its control of the
Western Union Telegraph Company
Wall Street has heard many reports
of large corporations making settle
ments with the government.
Washington dispatches state that
the settlement, If agreed upon, will
call for a separation of important
properties constituting the so-called
trust" including the Western sugar

Monster Turkey Sale"
Ended When Inspectors
Destroy Entire Supply

What was advertised as a monster
turkey SALE in the store of Frederick
Brandman, 10 Jackson street, was
brought to a sudden ending by Chief
Food and Drug Inspector Samuel g.
Sharwell and his assistant, William
Webb, today. The inspectors swooped
down on the store and seizing every
turkey in the place, destroyed them
with metholine blue. In all $50 pounds
were destroyed.
Two large signs in Brandman's
window announced
Jersey turkeys, 1Sc pound"
1t was these signs more than any
thing else that attracts the atten-
ton of the inspectors who were MAX
ing the rounds of butcher shops and
poultry houses. A glance over the
stock convinced the inspectors that
the stock was unfit for consumption
and the fowl was destroyed.
Several of the turkeys were taken
by the inspectors as specimens. These
will be exhibited to the Board of
Health, which body will determine
whether or not suit against Brand
man will be entered for offering for
sale bad food.
Brandman's place was the only
store where decayed turkeys were
found, although the inspectors visit
ed several dozen places. The good
quality of turkeys offered the New
Years purchaser is believed to be
due to the action OF the inspectors
Thanksgiving when several thousand
pounds of turkeys were destroyed in
several stores throughout the city.
Brandman Is said to have told the
inspectors that he bought the tur-
keys in good faith and believed them
to be as he represented them in Of
fering them for sale. The inspectors
say they are all cold storage birds.

He directed Secret Service Agent

|DR. KRAEMER TO
Be BOARD HEAD
Majority Leader and President
Will Change Places, It
Is Expected.

DR.. Charles T. Kraemer, at present
majority leader of the Board of
Works. will be chosen president of
that body when it organizes at noon
tomorrow. DR.. Kraemer's place as
majority leader and chairman of the
water committee, 1t is understood,
will be taken by Commissioner Pat
rick H. Ryan, president of the board,
who was reelected last November.
This would simply mean that DR..
Kraemer and Mr.. Ryan will exchange
places, leaving the other commission
ers in charge of the departments they
headed in 1918. Commissioner Charles
p. Gillen will again be chairman of
the committee on streets and high
ways; Commissioner Albert II. Bier
tuempfel, chairman of the public
lighting committee, and Commits
sioncr Arthur r. Denman, the lone Re-
publican member of the board, chair
man of the committee on sewers and
drainage. DR.. Kraemer. of course, by
virtue of being president, will be
chairman OF the finance committee.
It is understood that there will be
no wholesale removal of employees
of the board, as had been rumored,
but It is known that the board will
adhere strictly to the policy of eff
ficiency and economy inaugurated
last year, when more than $4,000 was
saved the city by the removal of en-
ployees whose positions were only a
sinecure.
The five commissioners. each of
whom is the recognized head of a
department, and John J. Berry, Sec
rotary to the president, are the only
ones who are not under civil service.
Mr.. Berry was appointed secretary
to President Ryan at the organiza-
ton meeting last year. There is no
question that he will be installed in
the Same capacity for 1914 as secre-
tary to DR.. Kraemer.

PASS CHRISTIAN, Miss. Dec. 81.
Woodrow Wilson, President, and
Woodrow Wilson, vacationist, are
two very different persons.
The President walked along the
boulevard which divides the gracious
old Herndon house, where he is holi-
daying, from the beach. On his arm
was DR.. Cary Grayson. u. S. N, his
physician.
A man with a beard, driving a
burr covered mare to an ancient
buggy, was coming toward them. He
was chewing tobacco. AS he got near
the President he slapped his nag with
the fiat of the reins and called:
"Howdy!'
The President answered with an
other just as hearty
"Howdy"
And the farmer slapped his mare
again as he turned the corner.
Newspaper men had seen the
farmer salute the President. They
rushed out and stopped the rig.

Prof. D. w. Johnson Says So
and Biologists Take 1t as
Final.

been no differential fitting or gradual
subsistence of the Atlantic coast in
the vicinity of New York city, ac-
cording to Professor d. w. johnson,
a member of the Geological Society
of America, who read paper before
that body here today. This is con-
trary to the view that has been gen
orally held by scientists as to the
sinking of the New Jersey coast.
There was a lively debate as to the
value of the evidence produced by
Professor johnson, but 1t is said that
it will be accepted as final for the
period covered.

Shipping Agents Fear for
Their Safety.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 31.-Passing of
another twenty-four hours without
word from the fleet Of sailing vessels
due at Mobile or that departed front
this port prior to the gulf storm of
Christmas day added to fears of
shipping agents here today. The
schooners Glenafton. Harrison T.
Beacham and M. A. Achorn. which
sailed from Mobile, and the bark Te-
resa and the British schooner Dara
c.. overdue from West Indian ports.
are the objects of most alarm.
Fears have also been expressed for
the British schooner Hartney w.
which. according to reports from Ship
Island quarantine station. found it
impossible to anchor on Christmas
eve and sailed away close-reefed be-
fore the wind. She has not reached
her destination, Gulfport. nor has she
been reported.
WASHINGTON Dec. s1.-The Brit
ish schooner Cheslie, wrecked In the
storm which swept the Gulf of Mex
leo on Christmas day. was picked up
late last night off the Tortugas by
the revenue cutter Miami. Reports
today to Captain P. Fl. Uberroth at
revenue cutter headquarters say the
Miami is towing the wreck to Key
West. The Cheslie is waterlogged,
her deck load was gone when the
revenue cutter found her, and her
provisions were exhausted. No men,
ton was made of the crew.
TAMPICO, Mex, Dec. 81.-Fears
were entertained here that the Nor
wegian steamer Atlantis, which left
this port yesterday for Galveston,
with fourteen passengers on board
had been destroyed by an explosion
at sea, but the vessel was later re-
ported safe by wireless.
The Atlantis sailed at o'clock in
the afternoon. Two hours after the
Atlantis had passed the bar the
steamer Norman Castle inbound, re-
ported that her officers had seen two
bursts of smoke on the horizon and
heard two loud explosions from the
direction taken by the Atlantis. Eff
forts were made from here to obtain
communication with the Atlantis by
wireless telegraph, but there was no
response.
