poor seed Is the chief cause Of poor
stand, and that a poor stand means
q small yield. 1t means missing hills,
weak stalks producing little or moth

we produce on an average, Just one
small ear Of corn to each hill instead
Of two or three. II means wasted

We have all admired the splendid work Judge Lindsey has done for the hoys and girls of Denver but how many of us have stopped to think and realized that if the mothers of Denver had done their duty, if they had brought up their children properly, there would have been no need of Judge Lindsey's ser. vices.
 To quote from the Watertown, N. Y, Standard, .July 26, 1915:
 Judge Lindsey's tame is based upon the failure of parents and churches in Denver. Col. The city so beautifully placed by Nature is noted chiefly from coast to coast for the urchins it breeds and neglects. When city in which mothers have voted for years turns out a crop of boys so bad that a man gets a worldwide reputation for stepping in and taking the role of father and mother to the army, one is lost for evidence that the ballot has improved or strengthened the mother in the greatest task before her, the rearing of children who will be decent men and women."

The worst mistake one is likely to make in painting is wrong paint; it is easy to make.
 We all say "Ours is the best:" and there are 1000 of us. One is best; but a dozen are so near on level that no one knows, for sure, that his is the one.
 The worst paints are worst liars; they know what they are, put on bold face, and brazen it out.
 Their one true argument is low price; but low price paint is always. must be, fraud, it is made to cheat cheat able people. DEVOE

SUFFRAGE-PR0 AND CON
Pro-.

Fro.
 Today is the third day of the big suffrage convention that is in session at Hartford. Every part of the state is represented ill the convention, and 77 local leagues have sent delegates. It is by far the largest suffrage conven- tion ever held in this state and judg. ing by the interest and enthusiasm of the proceedings it marks definite onward step in the movement in Con- necticut for votes for women.
 Last night there was mass meeting in Unity Hall for the delegates and also for the general public. The body of the hall was reserved for the dele gates but the side seats and the galler- ies were we'll filled with men and women who came out of interest ill the subject of woman suffrage. The speakers were Miss Helen Todd, of California; Miss Adelaide B. Hyde, of Greenwich, and pr. Yamei Kin, of Pei Hang, China. Miss Hyde is one of the earliest workers in the newer suffrage movement of Connecticut, but for some years past she has been out of the country and.has therefore not taken any prominent part in former conven- tion. She has been living in France, and her address yesterday evening was on the feminist movement in France and the way in which the French women are affected by the present wal.
 Dr. Kin, who appears frail and scarcely equal to an appearance on the platform, gave a short but effective ad- dress on the suffrage movement as it affects womanhood all over the world. Her chief interest is in her own coul = rrywomen, and she made clear how pro- gress of womanhood here in America helps in the elevation of the women even of the Far East. Miss Todd has been working all summer in the cam paign states of New York and Massa. chusetts. She told something of her experiences i'll the east, but devote her. self chiefly to the story of how the vote was won by the California women. Her address was listened to with the deepest interest and sympathy, and it was clear that she made hit with her audience when she told of the thrilling moments when the returns were com ing in at san Francisco.
 e This morning the work of the con- vention will be to eject the officers who are to carry on the suffrage move- ment in Connecticut for the coming year. Mrs. Hepburn will make her presidential address and will outline what that work must be aud there will be an appeal for funds to support the state association in its activities.

three terms in the Legislature. and
the fact that he was elected presid-

his high standing. Only a fair

all that and more. He is a substan-

experience in business of various
kinds. which fact will be of much
service 10 him in dealing with the

merchant and banker. The ONCE Of

as Record for Loyalty Duty Unequaed Champoned Cause
Of the PeopIeland Forced Corporations TO Come
Out Into the Open in Assessments.

Realizing that to insure Demo.
cratic success at the General Elec-
ton In November, that the very best
man obtainable must be placed at
the head of the ticket, Democrats
of Kentucky are fiocking to the
standard of Henry NJ. Bosworth,
who. has made a record as a State
official unequaled by any. The fact
that Bosworth is the only candidate
for the nomination upon whom all
factions of the party can unite, af-
ter the primary election in August,
and that he has been supported
throughout his campaign by Demo-
Gratis who think more of their party
and its principles than of securing
Offices. has rendered it imperative
that those who have been endeavor-
ing to have the rank and file of the
party go rainbow-chasing, rally to
him.
His advocacy of the people max
ing the platform of the party, in
stead of attempting to dictate the
principles upon which the candi-
dates must run, has placed him far
above the petty office-seeking class
of candidates. and his record as
Sheriff, Treasurer and Auditor has
proven conclusively that he is a
constructive statesman and is the
man that Kentucky so badly needs
at the head of her affairs during the
coming four years.
