John NJ, Parker Progressive nominee
for Wee President will have no trouble
in getting a new convention in Chicago
on August 5th. The easiest thing m
the world is to have convention. 1t
will be a real Progressive convention.
None of those who have returned TO
the Republican camp or those who have
joined the Democrats will be welcome.
The fate Of this party is the fate Of
all third parties. All the leaders will
be IN the Republican or Democratic
party, and Mr.. Parker's assertion that
only the commissioned officers have de-
serted, will bring few 70 ties in Noyem,
Der. In fact il was the boys in the
trenches who deserted Col. Roosevelt
and not vica versa. The Progressive
voters began to slack as far back as
1913, and by 1914 there was merely a
handful left. Why not bury it in tine
grave with that almost forgotten Popu-
list party.

GARRARD COUNTY BOY
WRITES INTERESTING LETTER.

Albay, 7. l., June :. 1916.
Dear Editor and all my friends Of Gar
rard and Lincoln county.
! have thought for some time | would
write the Record and let you all know
how well am getting along. The din
ing room orderly or bread Sergeant. as
we call them in the army is my chum.
He is from Stanford and frequently
writes the Interior journal. am from
Marksbury with which you are all very
we'll acquainted
| will now describe a few Of the
manners and customs Of the people
here. The natives are brownish color
with coal black hair and are very short
and active. especially with their bolos,
which is a long knife something like
Garrard people use for cutting corn
This is their principle weapon and it u
feared by all Americans in the Phih.
pines. We will try to explain about
the ladies' know all the young boys
% Garrard will be interested in this
line. Their dress IS very peculiar by
the side Of our American beauties
Their skirts are sometimes like the
American style, except they have about
ten yards more dress at the bottom and
hangs to the rear something like the
tail of "Haleys' comet. They wear
something around their necks have
never been able to pronounce yet, it
resembles horse collar and is made Of
stiff cloth. Their shoes are the same
that God gave them when they were
brought to earth, Around the city Of
Manila where the natives are more
educated. they try to dress the Amer
can style. at that don t think any Of
my Ky friends would fancy them
Their principle diet is fish and rice
They eat the same style as monkey,
with their fingers. a cook stove. safe
and such things as that would be USE
less for them. Most all the houses
consist II a few bamboo poles tied to-
gether with grass for roof. and not
room enough u whip a dog in. The
farming is great for am American 10
see. Water bu'la,oes are used To pull
the burden. Farming implements con-
,ist Of one wagon with two wheels aud
covered like the roof Of house, one
pillow the same style that Adam and
Eve invented with some bamboo work
attached to II and shaped ike ham-
mer from an Old ilint lock rifle, that
our fore-fathers used IN early DAYS.
But any way TO make the story short,
it Is the greatest little farming ever
east my two peppers upon.
The time passes fast here for any
one if they don't mind the hot sun. My
chum Cooley and | are very fond of
adventures, and after our mornings
drill and our duties are performed. We
take hike to the hills and sometimes
to the beach, which Is about two miles
from tins post, for IA swim, by doing
this We pass many lonesome hours
away, still our hearts and souls are
ever pinlng for our homes and the hills
of old Ky. Well my time here is get
ting short but Cooley has long time
yet. still it will all be gone before we
realize It.
With best wishes to our friends at
home and if any care to write US we
will be very glad to hear from them.
Love to all,

We regret the disappointment as well
as the loss to our friends in this
and surrounding counties resulting in
the financial wreck which has over
taken the Kentucky Rural Credit AS
ISOLATION. Many in this section We're
led to invest on account of the manage
meut, who consisted of the leading men
of our state. But the arrangement
which brought the concern on the finan-
clal rocks had been made before these
men had gotten in actual charge. Pro-
fessional promoters and general slick
citizens usually get some highly res
pected men in whom the public has
confidence. in the lead, and while these
men are at home attending to their
private affairs the promoter does his
work That which has resulted to the
Rural Credit Association has been the
cad of hundreds OF similar organiza-
tons in Kentucky. The only way to
escape the loss and disappointment Of
such schemes is to invest your money
al home. Home enterprises may not
yield the income that is promised by
the professional schemer who comes
into your community selling stock, but
usually proves to be the most satisfac.
tory investment in the long run. Gar.
rard county has lost thousands Of dol
lars in recent years in investments sim
liar to the lamented Ky Rural Credit
Association. Let our people foster ard
encourage home enterprises and in the
future beware Of the smooth promoter
selling foreign Insurance stock and
such things.

IN LOVING MEMORY
mrs. PATTIE DUNCAN GILL.

How true. how pathetically true, are
the words of the poet who sang;
ITO the past go more dear faces.
Every year,
As the loved leave vacant places
Every year.
EVERYWHERE the sad eyes meet us
In the evenings hush they greet US
And to come to Them entreat US
Every year.
Again we are called upon to mourn
the loss Of a sweet friend whose pass
ing on last Friday evening brought sad
ness to many hearts. A voice is stiled
a voice that always gave US sweetest
welcome as her hand casped ours in
cordial greeting.

Mrs. Gill had the power of attracting
friends and those who came within the
close circle of her friendship were
bound by even deeper ties of love, for
all who knew her loved and admired her.

She died Friday night at ten O'Clock
and all that was mortal was brought
back to the old home where she first
saw the light of day. where she played
as child. developed into beautiful
girhood, where she married in this the
dearest Of all places she was brought
that those who knew her and loved her
might look once more upon her face,
that seemed SO peaceful and to say "all
is well.
Born of illustrious parentage, reared
and educated in Kentucky. attractive

elevating in thought, true to the con-
trolling principals that have made

GOOD PROSPECTS FOR FARM AGENT IN
THIS COUNTY.

For several weeks and some months
several of the influential and progress
i've farmers Of the county have been in
terestcd in getting farm agent for
Garrard County and as a result Of their
efforts they have called meeting Of
the farmers Of this county 10 meet in
Lancaster next Monday, county court
day. when full discussion Of this
most enterprisinR step will be had.
The meeting will be held at the Court
House. Many Of the counties Of the
State have secured these farm agents,
and by the way at a small expense, for
one half Of their salaries are paid by
the government, and there is no rea-
son whatever why Garrard County, one
of the best, in fact is the best pro-
ducing county in the state. should not
have an agent. Let's all get behind
this movement and have IA good meet
ing Of the farmers of the county at the
Court House next Monday afternoon.
At this meeting there will be repre-
sentative from the agriculture depart
ment at Washington and will explain in
