CARD.
30 The Voters Of HopkinsviIIe:

To The Voters of Hopkinsville:
During the latter part of August
a number of my friends voluntarily
circulated petition requesting me
to become a candidate at the primary
election to be held on October 16,
1915, for City Commissioners.
Tnis petition was signed by several
hundred names, pledging their sup
port if | consented to make the race
for the nomination.
| had repeatedly told my friends
prior to that time that | would not
make the race and that | did not
care to get into politics and realizing
the great responsibility resting upon
the personlchosen to fill the Office, /
hesitated to accede to their requests,
but after so many Of my friends had
petitioned me to make the race,
yielded my own pleasure and prefer
ence in the matter and consented to
do so; having been promised that it
would not be necessary for me to
enter into an active campaign for
the office.
Since having been nominated for
this office. / now find that in order
to be elected to same. that it will be
necessary for me to make a very &C.
tive campaign personally and as my
many friends know that such cam
paign would be very distasteful to
me and not seeking the Office per-
sonally. and having at no time any
other. motive than to serve my city
to the best of my ability, the emolu-
ments of office having no attractions
for me, have made up my mind
rather than to go into the contest
that will be necessary, to be chosen
as one of the Commissioners, to with
draw from the race.
I take this opportunity of thank
ing most cordially my many friends
who supported me in the primary
and can assure them that same is
duly appreciated.
1t was friendly contest and l
withdraw without any i'll feeling or
malice toward anyone and stand
ready to support the successful can
didates in any way that | can for the
uplift, betterment and improvement
of our little city.
Yours respectfully,
r. Fl. HOLLAND.

Tuesdays Demonstration

County Agricultural Casey's lee.
ture and demonstration of "Selec.
ton of Seed Corn" from the stani-
ing stalk in the field at the farm of
Mr.. j. j. Robertson on the Clarks.
vile Pike on Tuesday the 10Th was
largely attended, farmers attending
from miles around; business men
and bankers were also well repre-.
sented. In his talk Mr.. Casey said
that corn might be improved faster
than any other plant or animal, and
will degenerate faster than any 9TH
er plant or animal; there being
greater variation in corn than other
plants allows mere latitude for Sc
lection and breeding. One years
care in selection will increase yield
from 5 to 10 per cent. and more &C.
cording to the efficiency of grower.
Mr.. Casey says that allowing 5O,-
900 acres of corn for Christian coun-
ty the yield can be increased 100000
bushels in two years by the proper
selection of seed corn. Estimating
the value at 75c per bushel it would
mean net increase in revenue to
the farmers of Christian County of
S375. 100000 per year. In addition to
this estimated value, we can add the
increased income from the sale of
seed corn. which can be estimated at
% per cent. making a total net in.
crease of $3.50. 100000 to the revenue
of Christian County farmers from
better corn culture.
Christian county should step in
right now, and make a reputation
for having good seed corn for sale
and to take step toward getting
the trade balance in her favor.
There is a great field for this
phase of farm management.
Demonstration was made at
Wheatland Grange Wednesday and
there will be another at the farm
of Mr.. c. w. Garrett on Thursday at
l:S0 p. m. previously announced for
same date at the farm of Mr.. j. A.
McKenzie,) and Friday at Churchill
Grange at 1880 p. m. The Grange
Meeting at Church Hill will be held
in the morning, dinner will be served,
and a good time is in store. You
are invited.

TEUTONS CLAIMING PROGRESS
Allied Armies Not Weakened
in DardaneIleS-.- Gen. Monro
to Take Command.


Dardanelles and the Balkans are con-
cerned, good deal of pessimism
which reigned week ago, has dis
appeared. 1t is believed that instead
of any idea existing of abandoning
the attempt to open the straits and
sea route to Constantinople, the ap-
pointment Of Gen. Monro means a
more strenuous effort, and that when
the right moment comes, the Italian
navy, if not Italian troops, will CO.
operate.
1t is known that the forces on Gal
lipoli have not been weakened for
the Balkan campaign, and while the
task is difficult the British public is
confident that it will ultimately be
accomplished.
In the Balkans the Austro. Ger
mans and Bulgarian armies continue
to claim progress against the Serb
ians, but, except in the north, where
the Serbs are being forced back into
the mountains, the various reports
do not go far toward clarifying the
situation.
The Bulgarians have cut the rail-
way between Uskup and Nish, so it
is likely that, except in the extreme
south, where French troops landed
at Salonki, the Serbs are falling
back to stronger natural positions.
Istlp and Kotchana, it is said, have
been evacuated.
Italy, which siugularly enough, is
still technically at peace with Ger
many, has declared war on Bulgaria,
and Russia is expected to follow her
example almost Immediately. When
this formality is. completed, it is pos
sible the action Italy and Russia in.
tend to take in the Balkans will be
defined.
The allies also have made a new
diplomatic move with respect to
Greece, the British and Russian min
listers having delivered a note to
Athens explaining that the allies do
not agree with the Greek govern
ment's Interpretation of the Greco.
Serbian treaty, and notifying Pre-
mier Zaimis of their intention to land
more troops at Saloniki. 1t is not
expected, however. that anything
but allied success will have any in.
fiuences with Greece, or, for that
matter, with Rumania. Russia is try
ing for this in Galicia and Volyhy-
mia, where General Ivanoff has won
several local victories and is keeping
the Austro.Germans busy.
Otherwise interest in the eastern
front centers in the north, where the
Germans continue to attack south of
Riga, and the Russians to the south
and west of Dvinsk. Both sides claim
gains.
Inc Germans are being hampered
by British submarines in the Baltic
for besides sinking large number
OF steamers engaged in the ore trade
between Germany and Sweden, the
submarines are interfering with
transports between German ports
and the CORTLAND coast.
Comparative quiet prevails in the
west.
