shot gun from the house, the former

zle on his right foot, when the gun
fired, tearing off his great toe. A

Bumper Wheat Crop.

From reports issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture it is expected that
the wheat crop this year will be in the
neighborhood of 744, OOO,O 900 bushels, a
real bumper harvest. But great as the
crop appears to be, it has not kept
pace with the population The farm
product of the United States does not
match ngrowth the number of persons
to be fed. This, in fact, is the great
secret III the high cost of all food sup
plies in America, because quantity does
not increase nearly so fast as poDula-
tlon. The value of farm products
grows greater each year. Last year il
was more than $4,000, 100000 But
it was due more to the extremely
high price for produce than TO the
great quantity produced. Every
year the American people eat a larg-
er proportion Of all the things this
country grows, and have a smaller
proportion to export At the present
rate of this tendency it will not be
long before cotton will be the import
ant agricultural article which the
United States will have to sell to the
Old World. We will need the pro-
duct of our farms to feedithe work
ingman, 1t will be his product that
must be peddled before the nations Of
the globe. In the meantime we must
cater to the producer of our food.

Day Of Prayer.

The observance OF July 20 as a day
OF prayer in all the churches in this
district and throughout the State,
''for righteous election of God-fesring
men, who will use their high office in
the fear of God, and for the good of
the people in the complete overthrow
of the liquor traffic" is requested in
resolutions adopted by the Women'S
Christian Temperance Union at the
Marcus Lindsey Memorial Methodist
church.
The resolutions are signed by Mrs.
g. G. Cromer, president, and Sue NJ.
Davis, vice president.
Other parts of the resolutions are
as follows:
Asking all candidates for the Leg
islature to pledge themselves not to
use money or liquor or other illegal
means in the securing of votes.
urging that candidates promise to
secure the passage of the four nile
law prohibiting the sale of liquor
within four miles of the State Uni:
versity, or law similar to the law

We believe the youth of Kentucky are
as precious as the youth of Illinois,
and should have adequate protection.
Securing the promises of candi-
dates for the Legislature to secure the
passage at the next Legislature of a
law similar to the Iowa Injunction
law, putting a perpetual Injunction
upon property to be used for immoral
purposes. This law has been wonder
fully successful in Iowa, Nebraska
and other States in putting a perpet-
ual injunction upon immoral resorts,
and should be in effect in Kentucky
as soon as possible
"Petitioning immediate passage by
Congress of bills prohibiting inter-
state traffic in opium, cocaine and
other drugs of habit-forming nature,

of rest.

The telephone service between this
place and jamestown is miserably bad
and we would be glad if a company
could be organized and substantial
line established. 1t would require
the placing of new poles, new wire
etc., but we believe such a line would
pay. Will not some enterprising men
take hold of the matter. The service
is certainly needed.

MAN CAME NEAR 70 DEATH
AT RAY. N. D., MONDAY

On Monday afternoon, January 81,
Ray Moore one of the engineers at
the Ray light plant had very mar
row escape from a horrible death
from being dashed to pieces by the
machinery at the plant. Ray Moore
and Chas. Summers were starting the
toy gasoline engine when Moore went
over to correct a clutch on the line
shaft which operates the electric
generator. In some way his cloth
ing was caught on an exposed set
screw on the shaft. His overalls were
torn from his body and one trouser
leg was torn off and ripped to shreds.
A bone in the leg was broken and the
entire limb badly bruised and cut.
When he felt that he was caught he
grabbed and held onto a plank brace
and called for help which was the
only thing that saved him from be.
ing pounded to pieces. DR.. Scott
was called and the injured man taken
care of. The machinery and shaft
ing in the plant is very poor and the
place where Moore was caught in the
shaft is commonly called the kill-em-
quick. It is wonder that there are
not more accidents at the plant than
there are. Somebody will cash in
their checks at the place if they keep
on.

Gesilius has a reputation in matters
of the kind, and it did not suffer last
evening.
Mention should also be made Of
Captain Henry's eloquence and con-
gratulations were extended by the
guests for the aplomb, scintillating
flashes of humor, and the touches of
pathos which lent so much of a charm
to what is often considered a dry
hour of after-dinner toast giving.
