TO LOVERS OF FLOWERS

We are manufacturing cigars, and fol years we have had calls for our crushed tobacco stems from ladies who have rose and ether bushes./
 Rose bushes are infected by insects before and while they are in bloom, diminishing greatly the beauty of the roses and reducing the vitality of the bushes. T
 By spraying your rose bushes with the tobacco juice boiled out of these stems you will kill those insects and your roses will be more beautiful and your bushes healthier and stronger. The crushed tobacco, stems are so inexpensive and their effectiveness so positive that you should not hesitate to try them. Furthermore, after extracting the substance from the stems, there still remain: in them large percentage of potash and lime, both of which have valuable fertiliz- ing quality, as florists will tell you. By putting them around your plants and bushes you will give them all the plant food they require and they will thrive as they never did before.

From $1.36 barrel at the beginning

ton of petroleum In the Western
fields. Kentucky's inferior grade of
petroleum has suffered little change,
the present quotation of 70 cents
barrel being two cents lower than the
quotation at the beginning of the year.
While the trade generally is up in the
air over market conditions, field de-
velopments appear to have taken only
a slight slump. July showed the usual
activity. with perhaps an abatement
of work in the deep sand fields, where
operators have greater expenses. The
closing week was featured by a good
strike In Webster county, in the west
ern end Of the field. Reports from
that district tell OF a test well near
Sebree showing up for twenty-five bar
rels daily in the deep sand. II this
strike is up to expectations it will put
new life into the industry in Western
Kentucky. Developments have been
light in that direction during the sum.

Logan and Allen, contain some new

pecially are good by reason of some

Judge Settles Opinion.

Prison guards were raised to
the dignity of officers and
relieved from the docking" system,
when they are unavoldably absent
from their duty. by the opinion OF
Judge Settle, of the court of appeals,
who dissolved the injunction granted
Guard f. c. Page. of the reformatory,
restraining the state board of prison
commissioners from compelling him to
work seven days the week. The suit
was filed to test the law. The guards
insisted that the SIS, the month wage
they received. is for six working days
in the week. The commissioners were
not unwilling TO accede to the demand
that the guards be allowed one day
of duty, but were not sure the law
would permit them. Hence the suit
was brought before Judge Stout in the
Franklin circuit court. AS no appeal
could have been taken from his de-
cision. had he refused the injunction,
he granted ii in order to get the ques-
tion before the higher court. While
the guards lost on their six days a
week proposition. they won to the ex-
tent that Judge Settle said they are
officers of the state, drawing a stipu
lated salary each month. and that no
per diem deduction can be made in
their salaries il through sickness or
some other unavoidable cause they are
absent from duty.

Protest 10 Filed.

The state commissioner OF agricul
ture is IN receipt OF letter from the
convention of the veterinary associa
lion. which recently held a meeting at
Hopkinsville. The letter reads as fol
lows: Hon. J. w. Newman, Commits.
sioner OF Agriculture: Dear Strive,
members OF the Ohio Valley Veterinary
Medical association. in convention as
sembled, desire to offer n protest
against your present method OF distri-
button OF anti-hog-cholera serum man
ufectured by the state Of Kentucky.
Relieving that this matter Is of sufil-
Client moment to the farmers Of the
state of Kentucky, for whose benefit
this serum is manufactured, we desire
to suggest that the legitimate method
Of distribution would be, and should
be. through the recognized vetcrina
rians of the state OF Kentucky. We
further desire from you an expression
as to whether or not you will consider
the distribution OF the serum In the
future through these channels; II not,
we, In self-defense, shall consider It
our duty to use serum which wo
know to be manufactured under gov
eminent supervision. and which We
have proven by experience not only
to be potent. but also to be so manu-.
featured and so distributed as not to
cause spread OF the disease, which
Wa are trying to eradicate. We are
further convinced that the present out.
break Of hog cholera in Henderson
county Is due, to n considerable ex.
tent. to the injudicious use OF the Sc
rum by non-graduates and incompetent
laymen. Trusting to near from you in
regard to this matter at your earliest
we are, yours truly-G. J.
Behrens. Secretary"
