GUNTER ACCEPTABLE

A communication has been received
from the Anti-Sa oon league, with
the following opening paragraph:
THE Democratic party has but one
choice for governor namely, Judge
Julius C. Gunter, who is an accept
able candidate to the Temperance
forces; hence, in the Democratic par.
ty there will be no primary contest
Eut in the Republican party 1t is
different, and the temperance forces
are deeply concerned in the result
of this primary contest
This party has two candidates. Mr.
Nicholscm and Carlson. tie present
governor. OF the former the TEN.
perance people of the state are sus'
pic,ous, on account of his stand for
local option two years ago when op'
posing Governor Carlson.
Mr.. Nicholson is again a candidate
against Carlson and at tie state as
sembly recently held in Denver, won
the assembly as first choice by over
100 votes, thus placing him at the
head OF the designated list, while
Governc- Carlson, proving TO be the
weaker candidate, will be designated
number two.
Mr.. Carlson proving to be tire weak
er candidate of the two. will undoubt
edly lose the primary election and
the contest will then resolve itself
as between Nicholson and Gunter
and as the temperance people have
already signified their satisfaction
with Judge Gunter's position regard
ing temperance, would 1t not be wise
for ell of them to cast their vote
for Gunter?

Spraying Fruit Trees

There is no work on the farm
that will pay better for the cost
than the spraying of fruit trees.
If the fruit trees of Central
Kentucky were given the proper
attention in pruning and spray
ing there is no country which
could excel in fruit production.
AS an example of what can be
accomplished along this line We
give in substance the experience
of Mr.. Rhodes B. Thomas, as
related to us a few days ago.
Mr.. Thomas planted a small
apple orchard several years ago.
The trees grew thrifty, but fail
ed to produce anything buta few
inferior knotty apples. This un-
satisfactory result was credited
in full to the nursery where he
obtained his trees,
Three years ago, however, Mr..
Thomas began to spray these
trees, with the result of trans
forming his worthless orchard
into a valuable asset, the thirty
trees producing an abundance OF
large, faultless fruit, yielding
from 200 to 300 bushels each
year. He said that he sprayed
his orchard twice in a season,
the cost of which was but very
little.
Let the citizens of Scott coun.
ty profit by the experience OF
Mr.. Thomas, by following his ex-
ample of properly attending to
their fruit trees.

is a practical orchard man, and
will be glad to give information

Keep Yourself Fit.

Admiral Albert Ross, u. S. n,
retired, said not long ago that
so per cent. of the young men
seeking enlistment in the navy
are rejected because they are be-
low the standard mentally and
physically. Speaking of the large
number of applicants rejected
the admiral said;
when you think carefully
what this means you will see
that it shows rapid and shocking
deterioration in the quality of
our manhood. Such degeneracy
is nations peril, both in war
and peace. Nations in Europe
are menaced to-day because of
this degeneracy of the race.
"In Boston recently out of 900
applicants for the navy only 30
were accepted. This is an ex-

EDISON LIGHT RATES
CUT IN BROOKLYN
Maximum Of 8 Cents Per KilO-
watt Hour Ordered by
p. 8. Commission.
TUNGSTEN LAMPS FREE
Saving Of $1,000 900 a Year
on Current Alone to Con-
sumers, Estimated.

The Public Service Commission de-
cided unanimously yesterday to order a
reduction in the rates for electric cur
rent charged by tho Edison Electric
Illuminating Company Of Brooklyn. The
new rates. which will go into effect on
December I INT are to remain in force
for n year.. provide q maximum rate
for lighting Of cents q kilowatt
hour and q maximum rate for power Of
s cents an hour. The former maximum
rate for lighting was II cents. and for
power 10 cents.
The new maximum rates arc Identical
with those Of Manhattan. which were re-
duced by the Public Service Commission
a year and q half ago.
The Q cent maximum ate Is in force
for the first two kilowatt hours average
daily use per month. For the second two
k,lowatt hours the new rate Is 8 cents.
the old rate s cents. The present rate Of
hours average daily use will be retained.
Public Service Commission experts fig
ure that Brooklyn nsum will save
$1.100,0 900 a year on their lighting bills.
Another concession directed by the
commission IL while the company may
charge one-half cent per kilowatt hour
for lamp renewals and installations II
must furnish tungsten lamps or the
equivalent instead Of gem or carbon
lamps. This is another saving for the
consumer. The company IL permitted to
charge a minimum Of 81 a month for
service. but the charge must be cred
tied against the next months consump-
don.
This ends a four years night to reduce
Brooklyn's electric lighting bills. The
hitch was caused by the company's valu-
alton OF Its plant. Attorneys for the
company have been fighting every item
reduced by the commission. The COM
pa ny claimed s3s. 500, 900 over franchise
md going concern. value. The Public
SSrvice Commission knocked this down
to SEE. 900. 900. and then figured that :
per cent. vas enough for the company to
make. The company asked for 8 per
cent.
Commissioner Hayward wrote the
oommission's opinion. and he describes
the old system as elaborate and COM
pick. rates ranging from . cents up for
lighting. n from less than 2 cents up
