MORROW ADDRESSES A BIG
CROWD AT SHELBYvILLE.

Shelbyville, KY, June %, 1915 (Spe-

ribbed Democratic stronghold of Shell

very large attendance to hear him
speak last Tuesday evening. Demo
Gratis and Republicans, as well as
many ladies', turned out to hear him.
1t was noted that, although Mr.. Nor

crowd than Mr.. McChesney had q
week before, ON County Court day.
Ed Morrow, as he is Familiarity

NEWMAN WITHDRAWS FROM
GOVERNORS RACE.

Frankfort, KY. June 25. 1915.-(Spe
cial Correspondence.)-The with.
drawal of Commissioner of Agriculture
J. w. Newman from the race for Gov.
ernor was somewhat of a surprise to
many, although it was conceded that
Harry McChesney, backed as he is by
the Anti-Saloon League and General
Percy Haley, had much the larger fol
lowing among the extra drys," as Mr..
Newman expresses it. Evidently Mr..
Newman realized that he could not
make much Roadway as a state-wider
against the candidate selected by DR..
Palmer, the Anti-Saloon League super
intendent. and o. KID by Senator
Beckham and General Haley.
Although Mr.. Newman was the first
candidate to announce for Governor
on a statewide prohibition platform,
and had the endorsement of the w. C.
T. u, the pioneer temperance Organi-
cation of the state, the powers that
were to direct the campaign did not
look with favor on his candidacy. Mr..
McChesney was selected as the stand
ard bearer of the prohibitiOnists. His
headquarters are busy, with large
force of clerks, and ample funds to
make an aggressive campaign,
In his card of withdrawal Mr.. New
man says he has canvassed and
spoken in more than forty counties,
and has concluded that there are only
two candidates for Governor who are
seriously considered in the race.
Though he did not mention names, 1t
il conceded that he meant Stanley and
McChesney. Furthermore. he says the
Democratic party is facing crisis
that may endanger its success, unless
harmony is restored and all unite for
victory in November, which he pledges
himself to aid In accomplishing. The
harmony and unanimity Of the Repub-
lican platform convention at Lexing-
ton this month, at which they reafiirm-
ed the County Unit Law, and declined
20 take any statewide In their'n,"
with Judge O'Rear and DR.. Bruner

that the Republicans are to be In the

to take advantage OF any Democratic
mistakes. They believe that state

Democrats will continue In power In
Kentucky. and indicate to the world
that Kentucky IL behind the National
Democratic administration. and In line
for the presidential election In 1915"

McosRMoTT's sPEAkINos.

Paducah, KY, June 26, 1915.-(Spe-
cial Correspondence - Lieutenant
Governor Z. ]. McDermott spoke here
Thursday afternoon to about $50 peo-
pie. There we're present a number of
Prohibitionists and Republicans, and
several Stanley supporters. all OF
whom, regardless of their choice for
Governor. honor and respect Mr.. Nc
Dermott.
The address was characteristic of
the speaker-eloquent and outspoken
on the issues he deems paramount in
Kentucky to-day.
AS in his previous speeches, Mr.. Nc
Dermott gave his reasons for opposing
statewide prohibition. He served in
the Constitutional Convention and
helped place in the constitution the
provision that enables each county to
be a self-governing unit, without in
reference from outside counties. In
the last session of the legislature.
when the present County Unit Law
was passed making the constitutional
provision fully effective, Mr.. McDer-
mott stood for the Jeffersonian fun
damental democratic doctrine that
people can govern themselves on such
matters better than outsiders can gov
ern them.
In this he agrees with his opponent,
Mr.. A. o. Stanley, that statewide pro-
hfbition is not an effective temperance
measure, but, on the contrary, would
take away, without the consent of the
governed, that most sacred right OF
free people to regulate for themselves,
within their own county, moral and
social affairs, such as the license or
prohibition of saloons. He maintains
that whenever the people Of a county,
whose elected officers must enforce
the law, II 1t is to be effective, want
to abolish saloons, they can do SO
under the County Unit Law; and that
that prohibition thus obtained will be
exactly what the people want. II state
wide prohibition is forced upon the un-
willing people of any county, neither
they nor the officers they elect will
obey or enforce the Objectionable law.
Such contempt of law is hurtful to the
character of the citizenship, and tends
to cause disrespect for other laws.
From Paducah, Mr.. McDermott went
to Marion, Sturgis and. Morganfield,
where he addressed rather small audi
ences, owing to the fact that farmers
are busy with their crops.

THE PURCHASING POWER.

The purchasing power of the farm
err depends not only upon the money
value of what he produces. but upon
also the money value of what he
buys. From 1899 to 1909 census
years, the money value of 1 acre of
the farmers crops increased 1877 per
cent, but in the same period the
money value of the articles usually
purchased by farmers had increased
III per cent; consequently, as a re-
suit OF the greater increase in the
price of what a farmer sold than in
the price of what he bought, the net
increase in the purchasing power of
the produce of 1 acre was 81 per
cent; that is, 1 acre of the farmers
crop in 1909 could buy "a per cent
more of the articles usually bought
by farmers than in 1899.
Upon the basis of the purchasing
power of the value of l acre of pro-
duce, the year 1909 stands as the
most prosperous for farmers of the
past 50 years for which there are
records.

historic fossils gathered in New Next
co and Arizona.
More than ton of the specimens
brought in by the party are entirly
new to science, and some tell the story
of life and the world of over three mil
lion years ago.
Doctor Mehl and Mr.. Schwartz went
to Flagstaff, Ariz., where they secured
a wagon outfit and Mexican guide.
Then they made a 65-mile drive across
the desert, with no water except what
they carried with them. They camped
on the Little Colorado river and sui,
fered much from sandstorms At
times water was very scarce and their
lives were in danger They were also

Infection From Notes.

Owing to the discovery Of a new
process of destroying bacteria without
injury to bank notes, this medium of
infection is to be eliminated in Can
ada. When the Canadian bank act
was under consideration last year a
clause was added to the effect that
banks must sterilize paper currency
before. reissuing it. Experiments have
revealed that there is an average Of
10000 living bacteria on each note.
Sterilization by a chemical was tried,
but while this was successful, injur-
ious and unpleasant effects from the
gas remained. A heat test was then
tried, and was completely successful,
notes being subjected to a tempera-
ture Of 176 degrees Fahrenheit 1t
was found that many dangerous bac-
terra were destroyed by the heat test,
the paper remaining uninjured. The
finance department has arranged that
banks, where there is no assistant re-
ceiver generals office, may transmit
at the banks risk and expense, mu-
tilated or unclean Dominion notes of
denomination up to S. to the nearest
receiver general, and obtain in return
an equal amount of new Dominion
notes.

CLIPPING HORSES
IN THE HOT SEASON
Practise Has Proved of Great
Benefit to Health anc Vigor
of Work Animals.

Clipping during the hot season Oh
the year has proved of great benefit
to the health, comfort and vigor of
work horses, thus adding to their
beauty, value and usefulness The
horse that has been idle all winter
very seldom gets the grooming that he
deserves, says Spirit of the West, and
as a consequence, his hair grows long
and thick and the pores of the skin
become clogged with dust and dirt
The change from idleness in cold
weather to that of long days of hard
work in rapidly advancing tempera-
lures means great deal Of unneces-
sary discomfort from the heat if the
horse has a thick coat He is in about
the same condition man would be if
forced to perform hard work with q
heavy overcoat on.
