will needs hustle and then some.

ELY and the Vermilion range
can establish a precedent this year
that will give it a member of the
legislature to represent this district
for all time to come. Ely is en-
titled to the place and can have it
providing the voters here go after
it. We have a candidate this year
in the person of Jas. w. Osborne
and in order to land the place it is
up to us to get behind Mr.. Osborne
and boost. The primary election
is only month away and in the
meantime Ely and Tower should
get a move on and demand the
election of Mr.. Osborne from the
balance of the district and back up
our demand with a unanimous
movement towards his election.
The Vermilion range stands just a
little bit isolated from the balance
of the district but as Our interests
throughout the district are identical
the entire district will work in har-
mony for its own betterment.

AT the last moment L. M.
Osborn of Virginia entered into the
Legislative game and a fight for the
primary. nomination is now an as
sured fact. There are now FIVE
candidates for legislative honors in
the field in this district as follows:
Jas. w. Osborne of this city, Chas.
7. Murphy of Aurora, Solomon
Sax of Eveleth, John Gill and L.
M. Osborn of Virginia. By all
sense of right and not might. Ely
and Aurora are entitled to the two
members of the lower house. Vir-
ginia has been given the senator in
the person of o. H. Griggs with
out opposition. This is as it
should be. Mr.. Griggs is the man
for the place, a booster, a builder
and business man of a calibre to
bring honor to the district. Vir-
ginia is satisfied with its allotment
on the ticket and shows tendency
to play fair ir offering to support
two outside candidates for the legis-
lature. Eveleth has candidate
for congress, Senator Jas. P. Boyle,
besides laying claim to Walter ].
Smith on the state ticket. Both of
these are good men. In the case
of Walt Smith, there is not the
least shadow of doubt of his re-
election while Mr.. Boyle stands
chances in a hard scrap against
Congressman Clarence B. Miller.
Ely and Aurora are only asking for
members of the legislature and if
Virginia and Eveleth play fair,
these towns will receive the places
as their just dues. This does not
mean however that Messrs. Osborne

ACCORDING to present predic-

year be called upon to entertain a
large number of visitors on the oc-
casion of the Firemen's Tourna-

all parts of the country old resi-

of their intention to be present and
partake of the brand of hospitality
dispensed in Ely and of which for

Swat the FLY

As Poor Richard would have
said in his Almanac on the Fly
Campaign:
/. A man is known by the back
yard he keeps.
Q. The early swatter swats the
(most importantly flies.
3. Swat hard before you hesi-
tate.
q. He that putteth his hand to
the swatter, let him not look back
ward.
S. There are as dangerous flies
at large as ever were killed.
6. Take care of the Spring flies
and the Summer flies will take care
of themselves.
7. A fly under the swatter in
the Spring is worth a million in the
Fall.
8. The wages of poor sanitation
are flies.
9. Where there's a will there
are a'few dead flies.
10. There's no fool like care
less fool. Keep the city clean.
II. Cleanliness is akin to fly
lessness.
IL. When disease comes in by
way of the door, fly has just been
in by way of the garbage can, or
municipal dumping grounds.
Is. Swat hard while sluggards
sleep and you shall have health and
plenty of sleep.
IA. Flylessness is its own re-
ward.
IS. Garbage dumping grounds
mean more flies, bringing disease
and death.
16. Swat while the flies are few.
II. Think twice before you
spare a fly once.
1S. Swat flies while flies fly.
10. While there's a swatter,
there's hope.
20. A fool and his flies corrupt
community.
FL. Cleanliness is Godliness.
Abolish the dumping grounds by
incinerating. all garbage, thus
eliminating the flies.
22. The road to Flylessness is
paved with good intentions-car-
ried out.

Assessors Busy

The various assessors of the state
have begun their work and you
want to be prepared for him. The
assessor has until the last Thursday
in June to complete his work when
the various boards of review will
receive the reports.
One of the officials called parti-
cular attention to the provision OF
the state law regarding refusal to
list property. The law says:
If any such persons, firm OF
corporation fails or refuse to so
make such list or statement at the
time provided, the assessor shall
deliver a statement in writing
showing such failure or refusal to
the county board of equalization of
such county and thereupon the said
board of equalization shall place
upon the assessment rolls such
amount as to them may seem proper
and just"
Property shall be assessed at its
true and full value" which
means the usual selling price at the
place where the property to which
term is applied shall be at the time
of assessment, being the price
which could be obtained therefore
at private sale, and not at forced
or auction sale.
Any officer authorized by law to
assess property for taxation may,

LEGATION of the conference report on

ton bill has set the local newspapers
onto Representative Ben Johnson

about s2,500,000 less in total than

which Mr.. Johnson, single-handed
knocked out. Another newspaper
publishes interviews with many
Washington women attacking the
Kentucky Representative for putting

first time in the history of the dis

The taxpayers of Kentucky and

they would have had to pay had the

MILLIONS Of MONEY
AvA|LABlE:f0R LOANS
On Farm Mortgages-COntrOIIer
Says Sum OF $5OO,OOO,OOO
Is Now..Ready.

Washington, June 20.-Controllel
of the Currency Williams estimates
that about $500, 100000 in national
banks throughout the United States
is available for farm mortgage loans
under the provision of the Federal
reserve act, making it possible for
national banking associations to
lend money on improved farm lands
Scores of inquiries concerning this
provision reach the Treasury De-
partment daily and there does not
seem to be a general understanding
that the farm loan clause of the act
is now in force and makes it posi-
BILE for national banks TO make farm
loans before the formal organization
of the Federal Reserve Board.
The estimate of Controller Will
liams is based on reports showing
the capital stock and surplus of ma
tional banks to be $51.777, 900, 600
Twenty-Five per cent. of this amount
or 444,25O, 900, is available for
farm loans. Furthermore. the Fed
eral reserve act provides that ma
tional banks may grant farm loans
up to 33 10 per cent. of their time
deposits.
Banks with large deposits will be
able far to exceed the sum they
could lend on farms under the 20
per cent. clause, and the estimate of
Mr.. Williams is believed to be con-
sentative. Farm loans under this
act are not to be made for longer
than five years and the amount of
each loan is not to exceed 80 per
cent of the actual value of the farm
as security.

SUMMER BIBLE SCHOOL
At W|N0NA LAKE, IND.
In Connection With Chautauqua
Program-Fine Meeting
Promised.

The Summer Bible School, held in
connection with the Chautauqua
program at Winona Lake, Ind, july
&, August 20, 1914, will be in charge
of the Extension Department of The
Moody Bible Institute of Chicago
Winona Lake is one of the most
suitable places in the United States
for gatherings of Christian Work
ers. The Summer Bible School is a
regular and prominent feature of
the Chautauqua and Bible Confer
ence work of this well known sum-
mer resort.
The character of the work i'm the
Bible School is instructive, inspir-
ing, constructive and conservative:
sane and scholarly. It's aim is to
develop the spirit of Bible study as
well as TO provide instruction which
will increase knowledge of and faith
in the fundamentals of Christianity.
Three sessions are held daily, and
the program will he comprehensive
and varied. The Winona Assembly
has arranged so that those having
the regular Assembly ticket need
not pay tuition for the privileges of
the school. A leaflet of information
about the Bible School can be OBJ
tanned from the Secretary of the En-
tension Department, 153-163 Insti-

That Looked Enticing On
Dining Table,
MERELY EATING THE SCRAPS
For Which He Must Remain
In Jail Until Next
November.
HE WAS HUNTING FOR WORK

The Greensboro Messenger o.
Thursday says:
Hungry and downhearted, with
evidence of plenty i'm sight, but not
intending to commit a wrong against
fellowman, has caused a young
man. Charles Mckinley, to have to
spend the summer within the walls
of the Daviess county Jail. unless
some special steps are taken to re-
lease him. The young man has
ELECTED the sympathies of many
good women of the city, who have
made him calls at the Jail, and an
effort will he made to get the court
authorities to allow the young man
to go until the November term of
court
On Sunday following the adjourn
ment of Circuit Court, nearly two
weeks ago, the young man, who has
every appearance of being an honest,
hard-working boy, was walking from
Evansville to Leitchfield, expecting
TO obtain employment on farm.
He says that his father is poor,
working man, and unable to come to
his assistance. When i'm the south
ern part of Daviess county last Sun
day, having had nothing to eat for
day, he approached farm house
knowing full well that natural and
genuine hospitality that is always
found on Kentucky homestead
Unfortunately there was no one at
home. Not receiving any response
to his rap at the front door he went
to the back door and found no one
there. Seeing the remnants of
meal on the table, he opened the
back door and went in. He helped
to a few of the victuals that
were at hand, and while doing so
was pounced upon by the min
ions of the law. A charge of house
breaking was registered against
him.
Technically. probably, the young
man is guilty of housebreaking. 1t
Is quite certain that no jury of Da-
'iess county Kentuckians would |
send a young lad to the State prison |
Tor taking little food when hun
cry. Nothing else had been molest-
ed about the premises. The boy |
shows that he has been accustomed |
o an out-of-door life. He asks for
IN opportunity to get out and show
hat he will earn his livelihood in
preference to being cooped in be-
.ween brick walls awaiting the grand
Jury at the November term, which |
very likely would not consider an
Indictment against him. Every |
lblebodied man is now needed in
he wheat fields, as well as other
'rops. The first opportunity in
months has presented itself, and the
1oung man is much fretted at his
enforced idleness.
