FARMERS TO SEE 100
TRACTORS AT WORK

Indianapolis. Aug. 15.--If present
indications are fulfilled, $4,000
farmers from Indiana, Ohio, Michi-
gan, Illinois and Kentucky will come
to Indianapolis the week of August
2S to September l, to witness the
operation of 100 tractors at the gil
gantic tractor demonstration.
This exposition, which is national
and embraces all of the leading trac-
tors of the country, will give farmers
an opportunity to see for themselves
just what tractors can accomplish in
farm work. The wonderful results
in time and labor-saving as well as
the other advantages of the tractors
will be demonstrated in morning and
afternoon exhibitions. These DEM
onstrations will be given on 1000
acre field six miles west of Indian
apolis on the National Road.
That tractors soon will be in use on
practically all farms is conceded by
the leading agriculture authorities
of the United States. The various
State boards of agriculture as well
as the Agriculture Department OF the
Federal Government have given this
exposition approval. The advantages
of power farming are so numerous
that it is believed to be to the inter-
ests of the farmers to see the trac-
tors in operation.
The demonstrations will be staged
under direction of the Indianapolis
Tractor Club. Everything is being
done by this organization to assure
visitors a profitable trip Entertain
ment features will be provided. In
formation booths will be opened all
week at the Union Station. Ter
minal Station and Hotel SEVERN.

tween the Union Station and the ex-
position grounds.

Our idea of real optomist is a
man who has the nerve to launch a
new newspaper in spite of the pres
price OF paper and other necessities
connected with a publication. That,
however, is just what Messrs. r. c.

have done at Campbellsville. The
Taylor County Leader has made its
appearance among our exchanges and
after a critical inspection has been

800 MADE HOMELESS BY
SUDDEN RISE IN CREEK

Hannibal, Mo, Aug. 15.-Five hun
dred families were made homeless
here to-day and hundreds of acres
of land were flooded by sudden rise
in Bear Creek, which flows through
the city. The flood was due to a
four-inch rain last night. No lives
were lost. according to available re-
ports, although many narrowly es-
capped drowning. Train service has
been seriously crippled and number
of factories have been forced to shut
down because of flooded buildings.

most anything that foreign nations
say he may do-almost. but not
quite. His own Government advis-
es him not to do some things that
foreign governments would be will
ing he should.
Great Britain will not permit him
TO write letter TO Sweden or Hol-
land without knowing what h in
the letter. but Great Britain has no
objections TO his going into Mexico.
II is HIS own Government that tells
him not to go into Mexico.
The American citizen may go to
Europe II the Germans will not tor
pedo the boat. He may sell goods
TO Norway If he is careful not to
sell too many. II he happens to ~
in Germany he may send cablegram
to the United States saying that i'm
his opinion the Germans can with
stand the Western offensive. He
may send IL and pay tolls on It. but
the person to whom IL is addressed
will not get it,
He may almost, in Germany, allow
il TO be known that he is an Ameri-
can without being insulted. At least,
he will not be mobbed. He may,
in Canada, almost persuade Cana
dams that he belongs to a self-re-
specting nation. That is more than
he can hope to do in Mexico.
He may go into Mexico and live,
If he will say that he is an Eng
lishman. He can keep possession
of his property in Mexico if II be in
some indestructible form. He can
trade everywhere the British permit
him to. He can go right thru the
open door in China and find himself
in Japan.
The rare privilege OF American
citizenship is his. Not since the
Roman with his "Civis Romanus
sum" walked the face of the earth
has anything like the power of
American citizenship been known. II
is Mr.. Wilson's work.
In parts of the world the Ameri-
can is afraid he will not be taken
for an Englishman; in other parts
he is in deadly fear he will be. He
never knows whether he will get
punch or a kick.

American citizen likes this. The

KEEPING US OUT OF WAR.

Democratic campaign managers
have announced that they will base
their fight for reelection of Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson on the grounds
that he has kept us out of war dur
ing his term of Office. A great rea-
son. indeed, why the American peo-
pie should rally to the support of the
Democratic banner.
These United States have had in
their employ about twenty-six pres
idents besides Wilson. They have
been engaged in four important wars,
leaving twenty-five presidents that
kept us out of war. A great rea-
son il is why we should vote for

we had cause to join in the mammoth
struggle we should be in there bear
ing our part of the burden. If we
have not no one should be given cred
it for keeping us out of war.
But probably we are on a cold
trail. II may be Mexico with whom
the President has kept us out OF
war. Now if Wilson has kept us
from avenging the murder of Amer
lean citizens, has kept us from bring
ing to justice the bandit villa, if he
has kept us from fumigating the in
tested Republic so that it might be
worthy of being a neighbor to a civ
ilized people, from starting her on
the road to advancement, If he has
kept us from preserving the pres
tige and dignity of these United
States. do you owe him your vote?
If circumstances justified war with
Mexico, war it should have been and
without hesitancy.
1t is the most ridiculous campaign
cry ever invented. When two men
have cause to fight they either fight
or one of them backs down. If we
had cause to fight we either taught
or backed down. We didn't fight
Did we back down or did we have nc
reason for going to war? In either
case where, in the name of the saints

One of the positive, constructive
works of the Wilson Administration
is the creation of the American cit
izen. In the place of the illusion
which President Wilson found when
he took office now stands an embod-
led thing.
The illusion which Mr.. Wilson
found simulated "A strong citizen of
a great republic. He was just and
considerable, slow to wrath, magni-
ficent in il. He went where he
pleased and, within the law, did what
he pleased. The power Of the Amer
lean Government followed him. II
he chose to sell photograph to
Raisuli, he hunted up Raisuli and
tried to get an order. He could safe
ly peddle ice cream cones to Malay
head hunters and carry knitting
needles to Afghan chiefs.
He could go with a line of gas
ranges into the Soudan or distribute
tracts in the Yemen. The world was
his oyster and the power of his Gov
eminent was the knife that opened
it for him. Nations said, There's
an American" and hats came of,
1t is to President Wilson's credit
that he has destroyed this illusion.
An American citizen now may go al
most anywhere he is not forbidden
TO go, and in almost any fashion that
is not denied him. He may do al

SOUTH JUBILANT AS
"FIRST BALES" ARRIVE

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Tennessee show that cotton picking
has been started in practically every
section of the country, and that the
"first bale" has been received in a
large majority of the towns and cot
ton market centers.
Arrival of the first bale" is al
ways the signal for activity in the
small town. The lucky farmer at
dawn drives to the court square"
where he stands all morning, while
the merchants and townspeople crowd
about his wagon, admiring the fee
cy staple. carefully "sampling" it
and figuring out just the day and the
hour when the first bale was receiv-
ed last year"
At noon the local cotton buyers
appear. An auctioneer mounts the
wagon and proceeds to sell the bale
at auction. Sometimes merchants
contribute to a fund to be used in
paying as a bonus for the first
bale" Not frequently as much as
rs or 80 cents pound is paid for
the first bale" although cotton may
not be worth more than IL or 13
cents. Arrival of the first bale"
means that business is about to boom
and that good times are coming in
the rural southland. Because of an
season the crop will be
short, but the price will be high
and the farmers are not complain
ing.

more, the country has now had a
Democratic House Of Representatives
for three Congresses, which means a
tenure of six years and that is as long
as the country has kept Democrats in
control there, continuously, for 90
years. Consequently it is the normal
thing for the voters to turn the Demo-
Gratis out when they get another
chance at them. It would be little sur
prise If there We're not so Democrats
from the North in the House during
the Congress which will begin March
4, 1917.
1t will be ioterestine to observe what
the Maine Democrats do in their
erence to national issues. AS the Pine
Tree state will be the first to vote, the
President and his friends will un-
doubtedly seek to put their very best
arguments forward there. as the re-
suit of the election will mean so much
in influencing voters in other states.
1t may happen that the President Will
decide to go into Maine for an address
but in any event several of his cabi-
net will go there to defend his admin
;stration.
One hardly needs to add that from
a national standpoint. the Maine cam
paign will be hard fought with many
outside volunteers from both parties
participating in the oratorlcal pro-
gram. Congress promises to be IN SEES

Washington, March 2.-President VII
son was represented at the White House
today as being resentful Of the publica-
ton Of stories that Ambassador Gerard
had reported Germany was about to make
move for peace. The published reports
were characterized as being based on In
ference. This statement was issued:
Report Not Justified
President Wilson. through Secretary
Tumulty. today authorized denial Of
stories appearing in papers to the effect
that the purpose Of Ambassador Gerard's
remaining in Berlin was to await Germa-
ny's proposals of peace. There is no
justification for that inference being
drawn"
Yesterday the state department took
notice of the publications by denying that
Germany had intimated to the United
States that the time was ripe for the
United States as the largest neutral to
renew it's friendly offers for peace. or
that the United States had been informed
that Mr.. Gerard had been requested to
postpone his vacation because Of pending
peace negotiations.
Unofilcial reports reaching here today
said the ambassador ctually had post
poned his vacation, but gave no reason.
