If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. 1t is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his cows yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless Of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
30 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at expira
ton. Send for sample copy.

According to arrangements made
by the Trustees and Faculty of Hart

Western Kentucky Normal. will ad-
dress the school and patrons at the
court house at 1880 p. m. to-day.
Patrons are invited to visit the

At the close of Prof. Green's adj
dress a Parent-Teacher Association
will be organized In which the teach
ers hope to secure the cooperation
of all patrons of the school. Plans
have been made to have Miss Ida
r. Gardner present the first regular
meeting after organization. Miss
Gardner is supervisor of the State
Community League work and special
ly employed by State Department of
education to look after this work.
Dinner will be served for the out
of-town patrons of the school in the
basement of the Methodist church
by the Methodist ladies. The pat
ans will be the guests of the Hart
ford business men.
Il is expected that much benefit
viii be derived from this meeting
and organization of the Association.
A closer relation between teachers
and patrons has always been courted
by the faculty of Hartford College
and to-day's program will go far to-
ward establishing a permanent CO.
operation.
Prof. Green is a good speaker and
consistent educational worker. He
is well known in the county, having
visited here upon several occasions.
He made friends all over the State
last year during his magnificent race
for Superintendent of Kentucky

Shuts he recently made an educa-
tional campaign in Ohio county and
was greeted by large crowds at ev-
cry school house in which he spoke.
Beaver Dam business houses were
closed when he spoke In that city and
hundreds heard his address. The
same steps should be taken in Hart
ford to-day in support of the cause
which the speaker represents.

Washington, Nov. 13. - Karl
Armgaard Graves, a self-styled in
ternational spy and magazine writ

agents of the Department of Justice
and charged with attempting to ex-
tort $4,000 from Countess Won Bern

dor. by threatening to publish letters
alleged to contain matter showing
her infrmities and failings."
Officials of the Embassy also al
lege that Graves had in hts posses

the German government to Count

use of the word, blackmail, and that
the papers he had in his possession
were purely diplomatic" in charac-

AGREEMENT NOW
LOOKS PROBABLE
PLAN FOR WITHDRAWAL OF U
s. TROOPS APPEARS TO BE
MATURING.
DETAILS NOT SETTLED
Submission to Governments May BE
Made ut an Early Date is
Belief.

Atlantic City, N. j.. Nov. l5.--Un-
less new and unexpected opposition
develops, members of the Mexican
American Joint Commission believed
tonight an agreement covering the
withdrawal of the American punitive
expedition and a method of border
control will be ready by the end OF
the week for submission to the two
Governments. Announcement that
an agreement was in sight was made
by Ignacio Bonillas, one of the Mex
lean representatives, at the close of
session that had lasted until night.
Altered Attitude.
The altered attitude of the Mexi-
cans indicated by the announcement,
developed at the second session to-
day, although it was not attended by
Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexi-
can Commission, who did not return
from Philadelphia until late tonight.
He was accompanied here by Ambas-
sador-Designate Arredondo and Mrs.
Arredondo.
No significance seemed to be at
tached to the coming of the Ambas-
sador, since 1t has been known for
some time that he had planned to
spend a brief holiday here shortly
before the adjournment OF the COM
mission.
Although Mr.. Cabrera hasnot been
here since he manifested his opposi-
ton to the plan that was sanctioned
Monday by his colleagues, II is
known the other Mexicans were in
telephone communication with him
to-day. 1t is not believed, however,
that the unexpected development late
to-day was due to his counsel.
Cabrera Opposed TO Plan.
Mr.. Cabrera. IL now is known, has
been opposed, apparently unalterably,
to the plan as 1t has been discuss
ed. There appeared reason to be-
lieve that he has suggested counter
plan. but that his associates chose TO
continue consideration OF the one
which had virtually been agreed upon
Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Bonillass denied tonight that
Mr.. Cabrera had interferred with the
adoption of any plan and sought to
convey the impression that the ut
most harmony prevailed among the
Mexican delegates.
Minor points are yet to be consid-
cred. but such progress was made in
the session to-day that the Ameri-
cans as well as the Mexicans appear

GOVERNMENT TO
DEFEND new Law
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO
HAVE CHARGE OF UPHOLD
ING ADAMSON LAW.
APPEAL TO PRERIDENT
BrotherhOOds Will Ask Chief Exec
utive to Give Them Promised
S-Hour Day Jan. 4.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Attorney
General Gregory has decided that
suits by railroads against enforce
ment of the Adamson eight-hour law
will be defended by the Department
of Justice.
The defense to be presented In each
case will be worked out between So
licitor General Davis and other de-
partment officials with United States
Attorneys in various jurisdictions.
The department today was unable
to determine whether it would be
content to make a test case of one
suit. No word has reached the AZ
torney General from the railroads
suggesting such course, and If such
a proposal is not made each suit will
be defended.
Reports that railroads and broth
erhood officials had considered sug-
gestion that Mr.. Gregory be asked
to suspend operation of the Adamscn
law for thirty days were met with
the statement that the Attorney Cen
eral has no such authority, and that
his only course is to defend the
gsuits or let them go by default.
Two developments stood out prom
inently to-day in the situation aris-
ing from the forthcoming application
of the law:
First-The announcement that the
managers of the roads would prob
ably apply for injunctions against the
law in every Federal Court district
in the United States, with a separate
suit in behalf of every one of the
200 railroads in every district which
they enter, making approximately
about 5000 suits. Should this step
be taken and the litigation involved
run the ordinary course of legal pro-
cedure, the eight-hour law will be
from six months to two years be-
hind time in going into effect, even
if found constitutional, it was de-
clared.
Second = The brotherhoods OF
trainmen announced that they will
make an appeal to President Wilson
to give them on January 1 next the
eight-hour day, which they say was
promised them at Washington last
summer when the strike order was
recalled.
The brotherhoods, 1t was announc-
ed, will not contest the suits to be
instituted by the roads and will not
appear by counsel in court to argue
for the constitutionality of the eight
hour law. They contend that that
duty logically devolves upon the At
torney General, and will look to the
judicial branch OF the government TO
fight their battle.
Prior to his departure for his home
in Cleveland, Warren S. Stone, chief
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, declared that should the
law be stricken from the books ON
the ground of unconstitutionaIity
the brotherhoods would depend on
President Wilson to have framed an
other act which will withstand the
attacks of hostile counsel.

Matthews was stricken with severe
heart attack just after he had taken
his seat at his desk to begin his morn
ip2's work. Physicians were hasti-
lyNummoned and he was slightly re-

walk he returned to his room and
remained there until death bid him

MIR. Matthews rallied Tuesday
night, sat up in the bed and chatted
cheerfully with relatives he had not
seen for several years. Breathing
seemed easier and he apparel so
much better that optimism prevailed
among his friends and relatives. He
left the impression from the begin
ming OF his Illness, however, that he
had little hopes for his own recovery.
but at no time did he express fear
of the hand of death that he believ-
