unfolding and bringing into light the
wonderful blossoms?
To lovers of nature, not single
day or hour even is lost n gaining
pleasure d rived from admlr,ng this
wonderful process Of nature among
trees and plant life in genecal.
Is there any wonder that horticul-
ture is called one Of lies most fas-
cinating occupation, whether Oh a
large or small scale?
Horticulture in EImore County,.
Elmore county is situated in a
stretch of counties which have al
r ady made themselves known all
over the United States as famous
fruit producers of the finest quality,
and the future will find them still
better known, as producing orchards
are increasing every year.
To be successful in fruit raising,
climate, altitude and soil are three
very essential factors to be consid-
cred. AS to climate the very high
percentage of sunny days in this
belt is we'll known. The altitude of
Elmore County forfruit raising could
not be better. 1t is just at the
height where fungi disease is not en-
couraged and in fact little known.
The texture of our soil is so favor
able that it would be hard to find
any better. A dep, rich soil, easy
OF airage and natural drainage is
found in all parts. Neither too COM
pact, where heat and moisture, so
essential for fruit growing, is re-
tanned in the soil so that natures
laboratory is always in activity, pro-
ducing plant food 1t is just under
such conditions that success is bound
to be the result, where average in
telligence is used.
Old timers in this county were all
successful stockraisers and paid little
attention to fruit raising. However,
most of them have few fruit trees
in order to raise enough for home
consumption. 1t is from these home
orchards that the best proof of favor
able conditions may be obtained.
In later years, while looking Over
the differ mt lo5alit es, men have been
foresighted enough to see that the
surrounding land and other conditions
are Favorable for fruit raising and
have proved their faith by planting
orchards on a larger scale, Tor COM
mercial purposes. Some of these or
Guards are now arriving at the bear
ing stag and are an inspiration to
all who are interested in fruit raising.
Below are the nam of a few of
The men who own orchards in this

cordially invite visitors to look the
orchards over and with pleasure

PANAMA CANAL MADE

Heavy As Was Expected.

Panama. Aug. 24.-During the
first week of business the Panama
Canal earned approximately So, 900,
not including the amount collected
for barge service and payments
made in advance for ships on their
way to use the canal. These
amounts would bring the total re-
ceipts up to almost $150,000.
Thus far sixteen ships have used
the canal-fourteen Americans, one
Br itish and one Peruvian, Traffic

to the expectations of canal officers,
who say that the war is keeping
many ships from using the water
way.

PAYS S. TO RECOVER
A 5O,CENT KEEPSAKE
Pittsburgh Man In New York
Accidentally Passed Out His
Beloved Lucky" Coin.
New York Herald.)

There is an association of memory
connected with a half-dollar coin
minted more than a generation ago
so dear to the heart of Frank A.
Cooper, of Pittsburgh, that he has
marked it with three small crosses
and for many years has carried it in
a small leather case. After Mr.
Cooper paid his dinner check in the
hunting room of the .Astor Hotel
Saturday evening he accidentally felt
the coin case and discovered it was
empty. Its stitches had ripped, let
ting the coin escape to join others in
his pocket.
Hurrying to the cashier, Mr.. Coop
er asked him if the coin had been
received from his waiter. 1t could
not be found, but the young woman
recalled that she had just given
change, passing out a half dollar,
the appearance of which had seemed
unusual. The waiter who had paid
that check was summoned and said
the men he had served were gone.
The head waiter joined the confer
ence and remembered that the men
had stopped at the cigar stand.
AT the cigar stand the salesman
said he had taken in an odd-looking
half dollar a few minutes previously,
but Immediately had passed it in
change to another customer. None
of these persons was known, and

ka. There were 434 juvenile delin-
quents in prohibition Kansas and
l33 in license Nebraska. The alleged
business man referred to a state az
having 53 counties with empty jails,
etc., but did not give his authority
Tor this statement simply because he,
could not prove the facts. To again
make comparison the United States
Census Bureau reports for Jan. |.

oners in Jail, but over in license Ne

were 80 counties in which there were
no prisoners in Jail.
To make still another comparison
which proves that there is nothing
to be gained by voting for prohibit
ton and no compensation to be ex-
pected from the loss of saloons.
trade, revenue and employment. an
other United States Census Bureau
report shows that in the year of
1912 there were deaths in Kentucky
from alcohol amounting to % per
100000 population whereas in Maine.
where prohibition has been in effect
for more than sixty years and GER
tainly should be efficient by this time
II it ever can be. the deaths from
alcohol amounted to 40 per 100, 900
population. Again there were l54 S
per 100000 in Kentucky's insane
asylums on Jan l, 1910, while prohi-
bition Maine showed larger per-.
centage amounting to 1894 per
100000.
In view of these different statistics.
facts and experiences elsewhere.
what can Hopkinsville gain morally,
in health, economically or any way
by voting out her saloons in the
county prohibition election? What
is there to prove that there will be
less crime, broken homes, and starv-
ing children if the saloons are put
out of business? Comparisons of
prohibition Kansas and license Ne
braska do not show it.

To Be Gained
From Prohibition?

An alleged Hopkinsville business
man (more probably professional
prohibition press agent under the
title of the Deadly Parallel" asks
if alcohol is necessary to our corpor-
ate existence, and attempts to prove
that the city would be just as we'll
off economically and better off NOR
ally without alcohol. In the first
place the question of whether or not
alcohol is necessary is not an issue
in the county option election. for al
cohol will continue to pour into the
city just as freely, if not more so,
under prohibition as now with regu-
lated saloons. Experience in the
prohibition states, where prohibition
should surely be more effective than
simply under county prohibition,
proves this, as witness Maine and
Kansas. Not only can individuals
in these states receive all the liquor
they want in interstate commerce,
but the report of the Commissioner
for Internal Revenue for the year
ending June S0th, 1913, shows that
l,451 dealers paid the tax to the
United States government in Maine
and 794 in Kansas, which is certainly
presumptive evidence of the heavy
sale of liquor right within the con-
fines of these states.
The alleged business man admits
that the shopkeepers and the prop
erty owners would lose trade and
rental and the state and county and
city revenue by voting out the sa-
loon, but alleges that this would be
compensated by less crime. The
facts don't bear him out. A fair
comparison of results under prohibit
ton and under license can be cleaned
from the states of Kansas and Ne
braska, which are neighboring states
and made up of like population, of
similar character, and very nearly of
the same population. According to
the United States Census Bureau on
Jan. LIST, 1910, there were l ,537 pris-
oners in the penal institutions of
prohibition Kansas and only CSC in
license Nebraska. Of these 1872 were
convicted of homicide in prohibition

At the Rex Today.

The Trey O'Hearts" the most
widely heralded picture that has ever
made its appearance in Hopkinsville,
is to be shown at the REX today.
This picture has received more pub
licity than any production that has
been shown here. The first knowl-
edge the public ever had of this SER
iaI was in the form of Manifestations
floating over the city bearing the
words. The Trey O'Hearts." A mild
sensation was caused among the
to VT people when the next morning
the pavements were found painted
with three hearts in blood red. The
co'ored people all said it meant wer.
One man said that he was sure that
if it wasn't some new breakfast food
that it was the REX advertising
something.
The appearance in the sky of bal
looms dropping handbills solved the
mystt ryand it was announced through
the columns of this paper that the
REX was to have the greatest serial
picture ever made.
ManagerShrode is very enthusiastic
over the picture. claiming that it is
something entirely different from
anything every shown here.

Probable Greater Arsenic
Output on Account of War

The consumption of white arsenic
in the United States in 1918 amour
ted to about 1900 tons. valued at
$4,000. of 2.513 tons. valued at
$l59, 236. was produced in this coun-
try as by product from copper and
precious-metsl sheltered and the re-
mainder was imported largely from
European countries. For the pres
ent imports of arsenic will undoubt-
eddy be seriously diminished by the
European war. The American smell
tiers can save much more arsenic
than they do now. for the cheapness
of the product has prevented the
saving of ell that was practicable.
and the war would seem to open
the way for on increase in the Amer
lean output.
Work for the exclusive production
of arsenic have been erected at only
two places in the United States
Brinton. Va. and Mineral. Wash.
1t is difficult for such plants to pro-
duce arsenic to be sold in competi-
ton with the by-product Of the
smelters. except in periods of high
prices such as may again prevail II
the war and its industrial disturbance
are long continued.

Mr.. Cooper left hopeless. He went
to theater, after asking that every
cashier in the Astor be notified to
look out for the coin. Several men
who left a nearby theater at the in
Permission went to the Astor bar.
One of them tossed a half dollar in
front of the cashier to pay his bill.
1t caught the cashiers eye with its
three little crosses and he promptly
put it aside. When Mr.. Cooper re-
turned he joyfully claimed it and
gave the cashier So as a reward. He
would not reveal the story of his
beloved coin.
