POWER AGAIN DEMONSTRATED
BEFORE 5000 LOUISVILLE CITIZENS


Mr.. Charles s. Smith, conductor
for the Louisville Light & Power
Company, came to the platform of
the Great Andes Friday night
when an offer was made for
limited number of free demonstra-
tons to prove to the public what
these medicines will do before the
audience, to which he said he had
been stiff from rheumatism for 90
years, he made repeated efforts to
bend his fingers, wrist and hand,
showing that he was unable to use
them in any manner whatever. He
was rubbed five minutes with the
Great Andes Oil, when the Great
Andes addressed him as follows:
"Hold up your handl Bend
your wrist backwards and for
wards as l dol Bend your fingers,
open and shut your handl Bend
your wrist backwards and forwards
as 1 dol No, let me hear you snap
your fingers Now pick up that pencil
off the floor and you will have proved
to these people that you have perfect
use Of your hand againp
And Mr.. Smith did each time as
he was bid, showing that Andes Oil
had completely restored his hand.

THE ONLY WAY

No Statewide system of good
roads has ever resulted from any
other than a Statewide plan of road
making. The county as unit has
always been failure when the State
as a whole is considered. The cam
paign now in progress to promote
interest in the application Of the
problem of roads in Kentucky
should meet with hearty and gen
eral response. Whether the State is
to have its roads improved under the
existing law depends upon the awak-
ening Of the various counties to their
opportunity.
Wherever there is generel sys-
TEN of good roads ii is the result
of Il comprehensive plan. As long as
small governmental units operate in

the money is not wasted
or stolen-where there is Il large

there are bad roads in less develop
ed sections. There is no uniformity
in road making, and there is little
hope of development for the less for
tunate sections Of the State.

coon cRop REPORT

The final crop report for 1914,
prepared by Commissioner of Agri-
culture Newman, shows that the
crops in Kentucky are much better
as the winter begins than had been
anticipated The average yield Of
tobacco per acre is much greater this
year than last. The outbreak Of the
foot and-mouth disease will cause
the stock raisers loss unless the
quarantine is raised Immediately.
The report follows:
"The yield of corn is estimated at
25 bushels per acre. This is 41a
bushels per acre more than last year
and Sc more than 1912. The yield
of Burley tobacco is estimated at
954 pounds per acre, as against 665
per acre last year. However, more
or less tobacco is damaged in quail
ty as a result Of excessive rain dur
ing the early part Of October. The
damage is estimated at II per cent.
For the same reason dark tobacco is
estimated to be damaged Is per cent,
with yield Of $40 pounds per acre,
as against 500 pounds per acre last
year"

under the operation Of a country
wide plan. Macaulay, in his History
of England, describes the almost
impossible condition of English
country roads during the closing
years of the Seventeenth century and
says:
"One chief cause for the badness
Of the roads seems to have been the
defective state of the law. Every
parish was bound to repair the high
ways passing through it. The peas
antry were forced to give their graf
uitous labor six days in the year.
If this was not sufficient hired labor
was employed, and the expense was
met by the parochial rate"
In very considerable portion Of
Kentucky bad roads reflect the plan
of road making which was failure
in England more than 200 years ago.
Those sections are in some respects
very like rural England in the Seven
tcenth century. They will not be
brought up to date, without good
roads, and they will not secure good
roads unles the State-aid plan is put
in State wide operation. At present
the farmers of the "rurap counties
counties without centers Of pop
ulation other than those supported
by the surrounding agricultural
cOmmunity-are expected To build
the roads. With the labor Of their
hands and that of their teams, or by
the payment of taxes, they are ex-
pected to build and maintain roads
for general service. Because they do
not values of their farms are kept
much below what the figures would
be if improved highways traversed
the rural counties.
The State aid plan is designated
to equalize the burdens Of taxation
for roads and give the less wealthy
counties an opportunity to increase
their wealth by making themselves
accessible to travel and by reducing
the cost, and eliminating the hard
ships, of freight hauling and pas
senger transportation within their
borders.

WILL DRAFT NEW AUTO LAW
s. D. Townsend, Jr., Has Strong
Ideas About Recklessness.

Sylvester ID. Townsend. jr. of Whining
ton. Del. has been honored by being
selected TO draft law that will be sub
mitted to the legislatures Of eleven states
for enactment for the purpose OF securing
uniform automobile legislation. The
states are New York. New Jersey, Penn

similar number of commissioners from
each Of the other ten states in an en-

tons for automoblists.
one Of the important provisions TO be
included in the new law is a penalty for
reckless driving when death results.
Heretofore. IL has been practically impos-
sible 10 convict any offender OF man
slaughter. Under the title Of reckless
driving" however. il is believed it will
be possible to convict violators and send
