ENGLAND DISCUSSING
A SUGAR TARIFF
Finds Adequate Supply Of Beet
Sugar Possible Only by Pro-
tecting Local Industry.

At the present time there are
many anxious inquiries in England
as to how Great Britain can the most
readily secure and maintain her own
supply of sugar. We need hardly re-
peat the recognized fact that the in
trinsic food value of sugar is lead
ing to an increase in its consump-
ton that is simply marvellous and
a few years back would have been
thought impossible.
A central sugar factory in north
eastern England, built and operated
by some Dutch capitalists within a
few years, has by its limited success.
led some of the economists of Eng
land to believe that England can and
should supply herself with home
grown beet sugars to a very consid-
cradle extent There is now duty
on sugars imported into England
per pound and the theoretical Free
Traders, noting this fact, and noting
that it broke up the favorite British
idea of absolute Free-Trade, have in
sisted that, in order to maintain
their Free-Trade theories in all of
their purity, the English Govern
ment should levy an excise tax on
the sugar produced in this beet su-
gar factory at Cantley, which excise
tax should be equal in amount to the
duty now levied on sugar.
These are the problems that are
now presenting themselves to English
statesmen, and while the English
manufacturing interests are all
strongly prejudiced in favor of abso-
lutte Free-Trade. yet it is fair to infer
that if by the incidental Protection
of a domestic beet sugar industry
England can produce it's own supply
of sugar at home. in the end such a
course will be followed. What we
the interested in would be in the ap-
pllCdllOH Vi tHdt SdHlc hCtHOu VI GA
pansion to the sugar industry of the
United States, whether of cane or
beet. The development of the in
dustry would seem to require the
constant Protection offered by Tar
iff that would afford, say one cent a
pound incidental protection.
AS our law now stands, it would
be illegal to collect any duties on SUI
gar after the first of May, 1916, the
legal limit then occurring. 1t will
hardly do for us who are interested
in the industry to take it for grant
ed that the good sense of Congress
and the President will lead them
both to proceed by counter legislation
and revoke the present law, which
kills the goose that has laid the
golden eggs that have developed the
present domestic sugar industry of
the United States, as well as has fur
nished a most needed source of rev.
enue to the United States.

How To Grow Crimson Clover.

Furnished by our County Agent,
Mr.. Browder.
Crimson clover is an annual need
ing neither lime nor incubation in
our section of the State, and can be
grown successfully anywhere in wes-
.ern Kentucky. 1t grows during
the fall and early spring, furnishing
vast amount of humus and from
$40 TO SIS worth of nitrogen per
acre-the most expensive element of
plant food bought in complete COM
mercial fertilizers-and can be
turned under the first of May, when
just beginning TO bloom, in plenty of
time to make a first class crop of
corn or tobacco that year. Do not
wait too late TO turn under. 1t also
furnishes an abundance of grazing
by the first of Aril and will benefit
the land some, even If so used. II
would be a mistake not to turn it all
under, as it grows at time when the
land would otherwise be idle.
This clover can be seeded in stand
ing corn after it is cut and shocked,
by sowing the seed then running a
little l4-tooth harrow down the row
TO lightly cover them. 1t can also
be sown ON oat and wheat land after
threshing by blowing, then making
good seed bed similar to that pre-
pared for wheat, after which sow
and cover lightly Is pounds of good
seed per acre. between the Goth of
August and the 10th Of September.
II the land is inclined to be thin.
use two to four hundred pounds OF
acid phosphate per acre to insure
large crop OF clover.
Try few acres at first. or ut least
a small patch. 1t will prove most
yaluble crop for adding humus and
nitrogen to the farm.
Remember to &c good seed that
has been tested and terminates well.
Old seed terminate badly and often
causes failures.

Principles and Profits In Soil I'M
prOvement.

in AL experiment, where no farm
manure was used" said DR.. c. G..
Hopkins in a recent address. "tte
average yearly return rom the lar
itself was 1915 per acre, while 81
was the return from a ton of line
stone and s2.65 from 500 pounds of
phosphate.
I'm order to reduce tn elabor in
volved, the limestone and phosphate
are actually applied in larger
amounts at less frequent intervals;
but thus far the rates of application
have been one ton of limestone and
500 pounds of phosphate per acre
for each year, although, after the
soil is sufficiently enriched, one-half
or one-third these amounts will pro-
vide for maintenance.
1.-THE principles of permanent i'm
provement for most soil types are al
ready well established. They in
clude the use of ground limestone
for correcting soil acidity and for
enrichment in calcium; the utiliza-
ton of atmosphere nitrogen by pro-
per use Of legume crops, the appIi-
cation of phosphorus to most soils
and the liberation of potash from the
inexhaustible soils. On some soils
dolomitic limestone should be used
in order to provide both magnetism
and calcium; and on certain abnor-
NAL soils, such as swamp muck and
residual sand, potassium must also
be applied.
"The location and character OF the
various soil types are established by
the surveys and analyses. and the
soil experiment fields help to deter
mine the best order of application of
the materials needed"

The Cost Of Living and The Tariff.

The announcement by the Federal
Bureau of Iaoor statistics that the
cOst OF living in the Unit IL States is
higher than ever before is of special
interest in view of the Democratic
promises to lower the prices paid by
consumers by reducing the Tariff on
imports. In due time the changes
were made, but our manufacturers
were not helped. On the contrary,
they suffered serious loss and the
situation, marked by decline in pro-
duction and increase of unemploy-
ment, was alarming until the war
checked imports and stimulated the
foreign demand for American goods.
Everyone knows now that high
prices were not due to the Protective
Tariff and that the cost of living has
not been lowered by reducing the
duties on imports. The Republican
Tariff theory has been INDICATED by
results that discredit the Democratic
plan. The war in Europe has saved
the country from the worst effects
OF the operation of the Underwood
law. but when peace comes and COM
petition in world trade is renewed
the need of a Tariff affording rea-
sonable Protection to American la
Dor and capital will be as great as
ever. The Tariff will be an issue in
the next campaign, and the Demo-
Gratis will be compelled by the logic
of events to abandon the cost-of-liv-
ing argument. which proved so eff
fective three years ago.-Rochester

Mr.. Embry, who is making the
race for the Republican nomination
for Representative, was born SO
years ago on farm in Select pre-
cinct, spent mis- boyhood on the farm
and received his early education in
the public schools. Later he attend
ed the Morgantown Seminary. He
began teaching in the public schools
in 1898, and has taught each year
since, and at the same time has con-
tinued farming. Mr.. Embry's father
who was Vinson Embry, died while
the subject of this sketch was only
II years old and at time when he
was bending every energy in secur-
ing an education, leaving an invalid
mother and small children, brothers
and sisters, dependent on him for
support. With unusual handicap,
Mr.. Embry has made his way in life
and has accomplished what few men
so situated could have accomplished.
He is a self made man. He mar
ried Miss Eva Baize, in 1903, and
t2ey have three bright daughters. Mr..
Embry is a good speaker and, II elect
ed will be able to make his presence

and because I believe IL would be an
injury to the State. and to every man
and woman in the State. 1t would
be useless to argue this IL the right
of suffrage were natural right. II
IL were a natural right. then wo-
men should have 1t though the heav-
ems fall. But IL there be any one
thing settled in the long discussion
OF this subject, 1t is that suffrage is
is not a natural right, but is simply
a means of government. and the sole
question to be discussed is whether
government by the suffrage of men
and women will be better government
than by the suffrage of men alone.
Into my judgement. sir, there en-
ters no element of the inferiority of
woman. II is not that woman is in
ferior to man, but it is that woman
is different from man; that in the
distribution of powers, of capacities,
of qualities. our Maker has created
man adapted to the performance of
certain functions in the economy of
nature and society. and woman adap-
ted to the performance of other func-
tions.
Woman rules today by the sweet
and noble influence of her character,
Put woman in the area of conflict
and she abandons these great wea-
pons which control the world, and
she takes in to her hands, feeble and
nerveless for strife. weapons with
which she is unfamiliar and which
she is unable to WELD. Woman in
strife becomes hard, harsh, ENJOYABLE
repulsive; as far removed from that
gentle creature to whom we all owe
allegiance and to whom we confess
as the heaven is removed
from the earth.
The whole science of government
is the science of protecting life and
liberty and pursuit of happiness. In
the divine distribution of powers, the
duty and right of protection rests
with the male. 1t is so throughout
nature. 1t is so with men, and /,
for one, will never consent to part
with the divine right of protecting
my wife, my daughter, the women
whom I love, and the women whom
respect exercising the birthright of
man, and place the high duty in the
weak nerveless hands of those de-
signed by God to be protected rather
than to engage in stern warfare OF
In my judgment, this
whole movement arises from a false
of the duty and of the
right of both men and women.
The time will never come when
the line of demarkation between the
functions of the two sexes will be
broken down. l believe it to be
false philosophy. believe that it is
an attempt to turn backward upon
the line of social development, and
that if the step ever be taken, we
90 centuries backward on the march
towards a higher, a nobler and
purer civiliztiOn, which must be
found not to the confusion, but in
he higher differentiation of the
sexes"

WORK FOR TRADE EXPANSION
United States Has Splendid Chance to
Increase Its Commerce With
Eastern Countries.

A delegation of distinguished Chi
nese merchants and statesmen have
done this country the honor to visit
us with the expressed purpose OF
learning western ways from us. which
they deem superior to their own. 1t
is a compliment which is duly appre-
ciated. and. while Uncle Sam is entire
ly willing and ready to act the part OF

vantage of the occasion to become a
student and learn from others while
teaching them. He can learn from the
visiting Chinese gentlemen lesson in
progress and enterprise. What they
are doing by coming here Uncle Sam
should also do by sending delegations
to other countries on a similar mis-.
sion. We ought to send representa-
tives and observing business men and
statesmen to the countries south OF
us. We. too, want to know what and
how to buy and we want to know what
our neighbors have to sell, and what
they wish to buy from us. Similar
delegations could be sent to the orient,
and especially to China, that is awak'

is practically no limit to the commerce
which could be carried on between
this country and other countries that
we have neglected too long. Not only

WOMEN THIEVES IN CHURCHES
tematically working" the Sacred
Edifices of That City.

clever band of woman thieves is
suspected of working" the wealthy
congregations of several large Boston
churches. Rectors and sections of at
least two houses of worship have been
notified recently of purse and handbag
thefts during services. Circumstances
have led to the conviction that 1t is
the same band that operated last
spring among Back Bay churchgoers.
Trinity Church in Copley square and
st. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral have
been visited by members of the fe-
male gang lately.
The suspects are all women. One of
them, at least, DISCUSSES herself in
deep mourning, apparently to throw
her prospective victims off their guard.
Others of the suspected band are stun
ningly gowned girls, attired always in
the latest styles. One of the suspects
is about fifty years old, another is said
to be not more than twenty. Invaria-
bly, the thefts are from women in the
congregations, and most often the
stolen articles disappear during com
munion services, when the communi-
cants leave their pews to receive the
sacrament. They return to find that
the demure, well.attired girl who sat
beside them is gone; so also is the
purse or handbag, containing money
or iewelry, perhaps, which they had
left on the cushioned seat when they
went forward. Or again, the sorrow

Notwithstanding late crop conditions
that are keeping number of pupils out
for awhile, the enrolment in the High
school shows an increase of five over
that of last year, and of one over that
of the year before.
There are excellent prospects for ath-
letics this year. Not many of our good
men have left us and the freshmen who
have entered make fine showing in
the field.
The tables presented to the High
school by the Senior class of 1915 have
been installed in the assembly room.
They add to the beauty as well as to
the convenience of the room.
New laboratory supplies have been
received for the school and others have
been ordered.
The lyceum course which will be here
this winter is claimed to be one of the
best. The entertainments are as fol-
lows: The Bahannans, Oct. 8; Varalla
