ALLEGE DID NOT USE
WORD INCORPORATED

The Greensboro Inquirer says:
For an alleged failure to use the
word incorporated" in advertise
ments, commemorative Attorney
Smith has filed petitions in Circuit
Court against ten corporations do
ing business in Owensboro and Da-
viess county. seeking to recover
fiat judgment of $500, or an aggre-
gate sum of $1,000. These suits are
filed under special statute which
requires all corporations advertis-
ing in a newspaper of general
circulation to use the term "incor-
porated." after the style of the cor
poration is named.
Attorneys for number of the
firms sued by Mr.. Smith expressed
themselves as being satisfied that
the offenses named by Mr.. Smith
were not sufficient for him to secure
the judgments asked. In case the
fines were assessed, the Common
wealth's Attorney would get half of
the amounts.

HEMP INDUSTRY WILL
RIVAL TOBACCO CROP

Lancaster, Ky, May Gear
rard farmers have been doing some
prOdigious work in setting tobacco
plants, Mr.. Norman Grow breaking
the record by putting in nine acres
in one day, his 1916 allotment to the
hurley product to be about twenty
acres. Agriculturalists of this dis
trict will not allot so large an acre
age to the nicotine plant this year,
preferring to have smaller fields, but
to give them higher aid, more
scientific cultivation, and to bring
their hurley leaf up to a higher
grade Of excellence.
Hemp will outrival tobacco this
year in Garrard and adjoining coun-
ties. quite an impetus being given
the hemp growing industry by both
local and city buyers having already
engaged the entire output of hemp
seed this fall at s2.5O per bushel.

JAMES J. HILL, GENIUS
Of RAILROAD WORLD
Passes Away-He Realized the
Dream OF Americas North.
west Empire.

st. Paul, Mimi, May 29.-Jame:
J. Hill, railroad builder, capitalist
and most widely known figure of the
Northwest, died at his Summit-ave.
niue residence at $50 o'clock thi:
morning as the result of an infection
due to bowel trouble.
Mr.. Hill was unconscious for near
ly twelve hours before he died. DR..
Herman NJ. Biggs and DR.. Stanley
Seager, together with members OF
the immediate Hill family, were at
the bedside when the end came.
James ]. Hill discovered "the
bread-basket of the world" in the
Great Northwest. He led in its de-
velopment from a wilderness into
what now comprises six wealthy
States dotted with 100000 farms;
and he blazed a trail for transporta-
tion which reached eventually from
Buffalo to Asia, with q total mile
age of rail and steamship facilities
that would girdle the earth.
That but roughly spans the story
of his achievements.
Near Guelph, in Ontario, where
James Jerome Hill was born in
1888, the son of an Irish-Canadian
farmer, who died when the boy was
fifteen, there stands a tree stump
labeled: THE last tree chopped by
James J. Hill"
1t marked the lads resolution to
go to the United States. He had
been prompted by an odd incident.
According to the story that is told,
a strange traveller had stopped at
the Hill farm to take dinner. and
left his horse at the gate. Young
Hill saw the animal was tired, and
he carried it a pail of water. The
stranger was pleased with the lads
thoughtfulness, and as he drove off
he tossed him a newspaper from the
United States, and called out grave
ly:
$50 there, young man. That
country needs youngsters of your
spirit!''
Hill read the paper carefully. 1t
contained glowing accounts of op-
portunities in the States. He re-
solved to investigate for himself. It
was the next morning that he chop
ped his last tree.

TRACE BALANCE UNDER
A DEMOCRATIC TARIFF
Greatest In History OF the
United States-ACcurate
Figures Are Given.

During the so months ending
March 81, 1916, in which the Under
wood-Simmons tariff law had been
in operation, exports exceeded i'm
ports by $2,9S6.991,9 72.
During the last 80 months of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff, ending Septem-
bee 80, 1913, exports exceeded i'm
ports by s1,4O3,673.563.
That is to say, the favorable trade
balance of the United States during
two and one-half years of the Demo-
cratic tariff act exceeded that of the
last two and one-half years of the
Republican tariff by $1,53S,31S,409.
The percentage of increase under
Democratic administration and laws
equals 100 per cent.
This is the greatest percentage of
increase and the greatest volume
both in gain and in total in the his
tory of the worlds commerce.
Our international trade balance Is
still piling up at the rate OF over
$150.000,000 monthly, or $l,S00,-
100000 per annum.
Do the business men-farmers.
workingmen. bankers, miners, man
ufactarers and merchandise this
country want this good work to so
on undisturbed?
Or. do they want to see 1t halted
by that great destroyer of CONNER
cial peace and prosperity cam
paign of tariff agitation. such as Re-
publican managers now threaten?
II you prefer an undisturbed era
of this business prosperity. you will
vote to continue the present Demo-
cratic laws and administration.

OF PROFIT
TO MEN OF THE FIELDS

Both Houses of Congress have
passed a sound, comprehensive, pro-
gressive rural credits bill. In con-
ference. legislation is certain to re-
suit.
Upon it's passage in both House
and Senate, the Republicans and
Progressives Joined almost unani-
mously with the Democrats in vot-
ing for the measure. Why? Sim
ply because this addition to the Sc
ries of constructive laws put through
by Woodrow Wilson will make
available for the development of ag-
riculture a huge reservoir of capital
at fair and reasonable interest rates.
For the sake of their individual po-
litical fortunes, the opponents of
Wilson and Democracy dared not
vote against the bill. 1t would have
been political suicide. Z
The farmers OF this country are
under a great debt of obligation for
this service. To whom? To those
who fell in line and voted AYE" at
the last minute. because they had
to? Or to the leadership which in
itiated the fight and the party which
stood with and behind its leader and
put II over?"
Men of the fields, progressive
Democracy under Woodrow Wilson
stands for the just needs and rights
of the whole people of these United
States and its political opponents
in Congress have formally admitted

cry great reform measure that has
