After its introduction into Pen

have gone into the business of
raising Bees and prod cling
honey. because of the fact that
Bees. like sweet clover very much,
and produce from it a very high

in Agriculture in Kentucky. left
Hopkinsville. Kentucky on the
9th of June, and reached Lex
ington that night.
The 7th of June was taken up
by a visit to the Experiment
Station at Lexington.
A number of farmers and
other interested persons from
Southeastern Kentucky joined
the party at Lexington on the
morning of the 7th.
Among those and from Knox
County were myself as County
Agent and Lieutenant Governor,
James D. Black, J. D. Faulkner,
John M. Logan and James Mil
ton. As stated. we all visited
the Experiment Station which is
under the auspices of the State
of Kentucky and connected with
the Kentucky University.
There were in the Company
about five hundred men, all deep
ly interested in the Science of
Agriculture and in studying
Agriculture and in fosterin &
plans and ways for the better
ment of the Farmers and farm
ing interests in Kentucky.
After the visit to the Expert
ment Station, the crowd. in a
body, visited the State Farm at
Lexington and the different de-
partments of the State Univer-
sity, and about the noon hour we
were given dinner there by the
State Department.
After dinner, the party were
taken in automobiles through
portions of Woodford, Fayette,
and Franklin Counties, visiting
several Bluegrass Farms. in
Guiding that of E. H. Taylor,
Junior, devoted to the raising of
the noted Hereford Cattle, ard
the Mckee farm devoted to the
raising of fine hogs, and several
other farms.
This is a very attractive sec
ton of the Commonwealth, in
fertility of soil, in beauty of
landscape and in general marks
of prosperity anywhere | have
ever known or seen.
The following night, the train
carried the crowd through Harri-
son County to Falmouth, the
county seat of Pendleton Coun-
ty, arriving in that City in the
early morning of the Sth.
There, the Farmers and entire
crowd were taken charge of by
Committees appointed by the
people of Pendleton County and
City of Falmouth and given
breakfast.
After breakfast, seventy-fve
or more automobiles and other
means of conveyance were plac-
ed at the disposal of the visitors,
and made the trip to Butler
which is the next largest town
in Pendleton County.
At Butler, we were met by a
large concourse of people of that
town and vicinity. A welcome
address was made by a gentle
men of that CITY, responded to,
very happily, by Lieutenant Gov
ernor, James d. Black.
After leaving Butler, we were
carried back to Falmouth where
a splendid dinner awaited us,
and you may rest assured we all
enjoyed it very much.
There were at least, one thous-
and people who partook of and en-
joyed that repast After dinner,
we were carried through another
section of Pendleton County and
stopped at Morgan where we
were met by an enthusiastic
crowd of people from that Sec

Just to site g case in point.
Some four or five years ago in the
town of Walhalla, S. c., a place with
about two-ffths Of Jul population, a
hosiery mill was started. For various
reasons it did not pay. The principal
stakeholder got On the train and went
to Philadelphia. There he got i'll
touch with a small but well know
firm of hosiery manufacturers. a. He
stated the situation. The firm investl-
gated. The result was that within a
few weeks the company moved lock,
stock and barrel to Walhalla, and
when last heard of was doing a much
larger business at a far less cost
Their testimony was hat the cheaper

working conditions, to be found

Mud Creek distinguished itself, over
flowing its banks and tieing up traffice
of all sorts in several directions. At
the foot of Main street water from this
stream was banked up until there was
no semblance of a road to be seen any

official observer rel1e ID 3.25 inches

The greatest material damage Will
undoubtedly fall on the roads of the
county. From overflow and wash the
loads in many places are in a badly
cut up condition. Only a few bridges
are reported lost. which is a bit re-
markable when one considers that
many Of them were entirely submerg-
ed under rushing waters for a day or
more. At sunset on Thursday We

THE LOCAL PAPER is YOUR PAPER.

It is almost a weekly occurrence for a newspaper to receive ono
or more "jolts" from citizens of its town. These range from sin
cere criticisms kindly meant to pure vciousness. We welcome the
former; the latter we.ignore.
dunn, yes; but it is also a private enterprise. Some seem ignorant
or forgetful of this latter fact when expressing themselves. Sup
pose, for instance, someone who had no particular right to do So
should say to you, Say, but your business is rotten" Or, that he
should say, you surely are in need of new manager in your Office"
Or, What is certainly bum stuff you are giving the publfc"; or
"Why don't you fellows enlarge and modernize your business"
Would you fancy it? Certainly not! Then why should a newspaper
take in good part" all that line of talk, and grin over it? That is
what it is expected to do, not once but scores of times each twelve
month.
We can answer the question we believe. People feel free to crit
ic.se their local paper because whether they know it o. not they in
real fact regard it as in part their paper. 1t is 'our" paper. That
it is a private enterprise, an individual investment, is lost sight OF
in the larger fact that it is a community asset, serving the pubic.
and therefore belongs to everyone in the community.
Your local paper is Everybody1s paper. 1t is your paper. The
chances are that it existed before you did, and it printed a notice
Of your birth; it said gracious things about you when you gradu-
ated at the high school; it has helped to boom your business; it per-
haps boosted your candidacy; it has given publicity to your pet
schemes; it has printed notices of your social efforts: it has de-
voted columns to your church news. It is possible that your local
paper did all these things ahead of you for your ancestors. Certain
it is that afted you are dead and gone it will print a notice of your
death, and perhaps of those of your family who will follow you. In
a very real sence your local paper is your paper is MT it?
Then why, instead of always finding fault with this, that and
the other thing don't you pitch in and lend a helping hand to your
local paper? Instead of "jolts" why not tell It where a good story
may be had for the seeking? Why not give the local editors some
news of general interest? If the paper is small why not do some
thing to help enlarge it? Knocking your local paper dent hurt the
raped. II doesn't help you. "Jolts" don't jar anyone seriously in
the newspaper Office. They don't help you. Sending your money
out Of town for a paper no better don't hurt IS much as you t.
itadoes. 1t don't heFp you. No these things don't help you any'a
all. and they really hurt the paper very little. And
Juet remember, Mr.. Reader, in this new year OF 1916 that your
local paper is your paper.

IT. seems to the Hustler that the.
hosiery industry offers Just now the.
most profitable and successful pros
iIIshed beyond question that money can
be made in hosiery mills here. The two
mills in and about the city have al
! ways paid good dividends, and were
' never in a healthier condition than to-
day. So there is no question OF ex-
p~erimenting with unknown conditions
| 1t is customary to attribute all IN
creases in manufactures just now to
the great world war. The hosiery
trade has no doubt been stimulated
by war orders, but an investigation
just completed by the department OF
commerce shows that aside from wal
orders the hosiery manufacturers have
made a splendid pro1t in the domestic
trade. and that conditions after the
war are promising beyond the average.
These things being so what should
be done?
We quote from a recently editorial in
the Charlotte Observer: "The Star
states the case truthfully when it says
that in Philadelphia, up town and
down town, and in and around town,
there are small manufacturing indus
tres. They can be found in the mos
uncomfortable places. The manutac-
ture of all kinds of knit goods in d
specially in Philadelphia. Silk and
cotton hosiery, underwear, scarfs, cur
tains, portiers, and every other con
ceivable small thing. are turned u IN
these little factories, many of which
have grown into big ones"
Does not the answer as to how Local
conditions could be remedied suggest
itself? Why, go after this small bus
mess, which works in lofts, garrets
cuddy-holes, etc., and tell them Q

: and of the success already obtained
