TOBACCO ATTENTION.
Lexington. KY. Feb. 10, 1915.

To the Tobacco Growers:
Are you ready in you county for the
March End meeting in Lexington?
Have you picked your best men for
delegates! II not. bet busy; the time
Is short and the occasion important.
II We can not organize, il means that
We must stop growing tobacco or give
some one else all the profits.
TWENTY-0DD OF THE FORTY
COUNTIES IN THE DISTRICT ARE
ORGANIZED
The plan to be adopted must be so
simple that everyone can understand
the business. The law will not permit
Of pooling and commingling. The iden-
tity Of every crop will have to be
maintained. so that grower can look
at his crop and know how il graded
and sold. and how he should he settled
with. These are conditions that the
law compels. Can you be afraid of
a plan that Is bound by these condi-
| tons?
II we can add to the price Of our
tobacco, is il not worth while? Who
is going to add to it if we don't? Will
the buyer do so? Have you figured
how much even one cent added will
mean to you? It will mean at least
ten dollars an acre. which is many
times more than the organization can
cost you. Multiply the number Of
acres YOU grow by ten dollars and you
will have the increased prosperity that
each cent added will bring you. There
are about two hundred million pounds
raised in this district. multiply this by
"A cents which our tobacco is now
bringing. and then by Is cents which
IL might bring n We were organized.
and you will see what we are losing

THE CAUSE OF HOSTILITIES

Syracuse, April 21.-Four chapters
of Albany politics were related by
Theodore Roosevelt on the witness
stand today. The former president
gave what he claimed to be the details
of an election by Barnes RepubIi-
cans assisted by Murphy Demo-
Gratis of an official leader of the Re-
cause of the hostilities between Will
liam Barnes and Governor Hughes;
the defeat of the Hart-Agnew racing
bill by the Republican organization
and fight of the said combined Demo-
cratic and Republican machines, the
latter led by Mr. Barnes. made against
a direct primaries legislation. He also
identified a letter written by Mr.
Barnes in which the latter told him
1.-The idea of getting rid of bosses is
absurd so long as you have party gov
ernment."
Colonel Roosevelt was on the stand
during the entire forenoon. He was
to continue this afternoon the story by
which he hopes to prove to the jury
that he was justified in causing the
publication of the statement upon
which Mr.. Barnes is suing him for
libel.
Colonel Roosevelt's testimony of BIZ
partisan bossism charges against
Barnes was greatly limited by a ruI-
ing of Trial Justice Andrews The
ruling keeps out much of the sensa-
IOnaI evidence planned by the de-
Tense and was regarded as a serious
setback for Roosevelt.
Before Colonel Roosevelt took the
stand, counsel representing both sides
and the court, discussed in chambers
legal questions in regard to what
should or should not be admitted in
evidence. At the end of the confer
ence it was announced the court had
decided not to admit evidence regard
ing certain things not specified in the
This barred the door to
the admission of a great mass of evil

methods and Mr. Bafaes' alleged
conversations with Colonel Roosevelt
