Annual Meeting Of The K. E. A

The annual meeting of the Ken
lucky Educational Association for the
year 1914 will be held at the First
Christian Church in Louisville on
April 29th and 3Oth and May lst and
End. This will be the greatest educa-
tional gathering ever held south OF
the Ohio river. Our slogan is 5000
teachers, trustees and school men in
attendance. The railroads and all
transportation companies will give re-
duced rates of travel, while the hotels
and boarding houses of Louisville will
make reasonable rates of boarding.
No progressive, up-to-date teacher
can afford to miss this great meeting
of the leading educators of our State
and nation. Some masters of educa
tional science will be there. Some
superior masters of assemblies will be
there: some men of national fame will
be there and there will be addresses
delivered, any one of which will be
worth the expenses of the trip. The
best talent possible has been Sc
cured for the occasion, and an elabo
rate program of the very best things
has been prepared We want just Is
many teachers and trustees from
Adair county as possible to attend 1t
will do them all good, and it will helE
to get our good old county of Adail
awakened to some things that must
be realized before much more progress
in schools can be made. So in con
clusion L would say, let it be known
that Adair county is neither dead mol
asleep, and let US determine that d
great number of school people from
within her borders shall assemble at
the First Christian Church in Louis
vile on the 29th of April, and there
sit down to the greatest educationa
feast ever spread on this side of the
Beautiful River"

'NeighbOr" Hatcher's Rosa View

was in the lobby of the Hancock
Hotel Sunday morning listening to
general discussion of the topics of the
, day. "Neighbor" Hatcher, as he is
Familiarity known here, the jovial trav'
cling salesman and pollution was there,
and everyone who is acquainted with
Mr.. Hatcher knows he ''can't TALK
but somehow or by some means or
other it wasn't long until ''Neighbor"
Hatcher was doing all the talking, and
the rest of the crowd was just listen
ing
This conversation leis1rely drifted
from one thing TO another until the
Cumberland river was reached. and
the recent appropriation made by Con-
greSS to lock and dam same was dis
cuSSed from several points of view,
relative to its commercial value to
this section of country. ''Neighbor'
Hatcher got in the following argu-
ment on the Cumberland and he pic
tured it as one of the important water
ways of this nation when it is locked
and damned from source to mouth,
Continuing, "Neighbor" said that
when these great improvements on
the Cumberland are completed that
the land through this section of Ken
lucky, now comparatively worthless
will be worth 500 per acre then, and
that all this backwoodS part of the
county will be transformed Tito one
vast flower garden on the face of the
earth. and will be net work of rail
roads and other modes of ttanSporta-
tion.
Some one in the crowd, probably Mr..
Tut, asked Mr.. Hatcher who would
bring about this wonderful change.
He replied: Not US" but that PEG.
pie would come into our midst who
know how to make the soil produce in
paying results.
Mr.. Hatcher was about right in his
conclusion when he intimated that
the farmers in this outlaying district
are, as rule, not up on the art of
successful >oil cultivation and at the
same time take care of the land
"Neighbor" further stated that in
his opinion few years hence will
bring this section of country to the
foremost ranks in the production OF
apples, with the exception of two OF
three other States IN the Union.
Dear "Neighbor'', we hope all you
have said about the glowing future
in store for our country through this
immediate part of the universe will
prove true when the Cumberland river
is locked and damned, and we are
perfectly willing to wait that long fol
a glimpse of something we nevel
dreamed of.

The short crop of last year, in this
section, will tend to check farm i'm
provement this year and the cUrtail-
ment of farm work will fall hardest
on tenants and farm hands who need
Employment to meet living expenses.
A large number of tenants must have
employment part of their time to
provide for the necessities of life and
if they can not get 1T will suffer severe
ly. To our mind every land owner
ought to keep up improvements this
year. He ought to see the necessity
of keeping up his work and the moral
obligation OF giving opportunity to
oteIS less fortunate than himself. The
receipts of last years labors and eX
penditureS are meager indeed, with
the average farmer. He has no sur
plus to invest on his farm, but the
bountiful years that preceded doubt
less left him in fairly good condition
to pass over the shortage he is now
encountering. Not so with the many
who cultivate their land and labor
for bread and meat. They must have
work and pay for their work or suffer
many privatiOnS. No curtailment of
farm work should be employed now.
The time for such action is when the
country is fat, when the tenants have
good crops ia carry them along Re-

And Now Turkey!

Turkey, so the cables state, has declared war,
or is about to declare war, on Russia, and pos
sibly the rest of the allies.
It is fortunate for Germany that Turkeys
declaration for her side came after and not be-
fore England sliced yellow Japan against part
of the white race. England will now spare US a
dissertation on the ethics involved in calling into
the great struggle between members of the
white race nations representative of barbarism
and savagery. England can hardly be very proud
of such demonstration of weakness on the part
of nation that has to call for help from the
barbarians of Japan and the savage hordes of
Cossack Russia, land of the knout and hideous
exile in Siberia!
The very logic Of the present war situation
was bound to force Turkey into the war on Ger

nearer to the coveted goal Of Peter the Great,
Constantinople
The only powers that have hitherto prevent
ed Russia absorbing Turkey have been France
and England. And now France and England are
fighting in the last ditch against Germany, and
have chance to get out unless the Russian
bear can rescue them.
However, says Turkey, if Russia now proves
strong enough to rescue France and England,
those two countries will never again be powerful
enough to keep Russia from conquering and an
nexing Turkey. Nor possibly will all the rest of
Europe prove strong enough after this war to
prevent Russia becoming the actual ruler of all
Europe. Therefore, rather than calmly await
our fate and be swallowed by Russia when she
is at the very pinnacle of her armed greatness,
after this war, say the Turks, we had better
safeguard our future by fighting the inevitable
war now while we may still be of very effective
assistance to Russia's two strong enemies, Aus
tria and Germany.
Turkeys entry into the worlds war arena
strikes blow at Russia, France and England,
the severity of which can not yet be estimated.
The sultan of Turkey is the head of the Mohan-
medan religion. Millions of his religious SUBJ
jects live under the Russian flag around the
Black Sea and in Central Asia, millions more
under the British flag in India, Egypt and other
British African possessions, and still more mil
lions in the vast colonial regions of French North
Africa-the Sahara, Tunis, Algeria and Morocco.
If the sultan proclaims holy war on the part
of his religious subjects against these three ma
tions the chaos that might result and it's terribly
weakening effect on these three powers in their
mighty attempt to destroy Germany can be i'm
agined.
