he was proud of his pretty young

resentment the more bitter.

He had only two passions in his heart

cents per ton mile to haul it from the
railroad to the farm and 1t costs five
cents per ton mile freight on the rail-
road, besides the original cost Of the
lime. How the demand has grown is
shown by the fact that in the last
three years the number OF concerns
grinding limestone in Kentucky has
increased from three to $50. Yet they
cannot meet the demand, and the cost
Is preventing many farmers investing
in 1t.
One of these machines will be set
up on a farm near Lexington and win
work through the Bluegrass and to the
east. The machine has been tried out
at the State Experiment Station.
II predict that before many years
Kentucky will follow the example of
Illinois" said Commissioner Newman.
I'm Illinois the State prisoners grind
limestone and the railroads haul it for
a half cent per ton mile to the farm

farmers of this State than lime, and It

The New Campaigning.

Johnson N. Camden, who Is candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for the short term Senatorship, will
not come to Kentucky to prosecute his
campaign. Mr.. Camden gives as his
reason for not coming that:
II want to be OF such aid to the
President as can. He believes, and
agree with him heartily, that Con-
gress should remain here until the
trust bills are passed and then adj
iourn. am part of Congress, and,
therefore, 1t is my official duty, as
well as my party service, 10 stay in
Washington. 1t may be that l can
get to Kentucky within day or two
OF the primaries, but that remains to
be seen and is dependent entirely on
the progress OF legislation"
II the country could be given zone
wish with the assurance that II had
only to be expressed to be gratified,
there is no question that II would take
the form OF an earnest petition that
Congress get through with its trust
legislation with the least possible de-
lay and adjourn. The desire for ac-
ton and adjournment is nowhere
stronger than In Kentucky. In staying
at his post and doing his full share
for the enactment OF the legislation,
without which there is. no possibility
OF adjournment, Mr.. Camden has
adopted method OF campaigning
which should be none the less effec-
tive in Kentucky because Of It's
novelty.

PENSIONS FOR AUGUST
WILL EXCEED 100000

Frankfort, KY, July 15.-The Aug
ust Confederate pension distribution
will run well above 100000. State
Pension Commissioner w. j. Stone has
2,903 pensioners on the roll; but 200 Of
these have died since their pensions
were allowed.

veterans said Commissioner Stone,

tically keep pace with the additions to
the pension list from now on"
I The act Of 1914, amending the PEN
sion law TO permit Confederate soldiers
who took the oath OF allegiance during
the war under duress and in fear OF
death, TO secure pensions. has raised
difficult questions, and Commissioner
Stone IL requiring proof that the appli-
cant took the oath under such circum-
stances.
ITO do otherwise would be unfair to
those veterans who fought II OUT he
said. They must bring In proof to
support their claims. To allow vet

starvation or disease when he took the
oath. while those who fought through

by ex- Senator 10 Blackburn, who
years ago had been a colleague and

of sentiment in Senator Blackburn's

those who had known the Hon.

he is an exceedingly wealthy man has
been used in campaign speeches by one
Of his opponents to prejudice his case,
Though his wealth, we feel. may not
be urged as a barrier nor particularly
as qualification, yet the very fact
that mere emoluments OF Office mean
little to a man of such abundant means
in itself removes a handicap OF self
interest. which, though wrongfully i'm
posed, is nevertheless placed upon ev-
cry candidate, subconsciously, If you
will. by the average voter. Mr.. Camden,
we believe, desires chiefly to be of SER
vice to his State. True. the honor OF
the office means much to him--and it
is very natural and proper that 1t
should; but he has shown, in number
less instances, that he has the welfare
OF the Commonwealth at heart and that
his service is wholly free from self
interest In this case. as in many
others, Kentuckians, we believe, will
recognize the wisdom OF the old adage

gesting that they plant millet, cowpeas,
sorghum or corn broadcast in unused
fields and so raise a forage crop for
feeding their stock this winter. Corn
and sorghum planted at this time, he
said, win be developed by fall suffic-
iently to make good feed, and cow peas
and millet can be grown at this late
season. il W.,
Hay is only half a crop in Kentucky.
Much of the clover was frozen out last
