FARM CONDITIONS IN BOURBON.

Weather conditions during the
past week and part of this week
were highly favorable for all grow
ing crops. The temperature was
seasonable and the rainfall generally
ample, only a few localities reporting
any need of rain. The late corn is
maturing slowly, but nicely. To-
. bacco is doing we'll and the cutting
is being rushed. Alfalfa and pota-
toes are improved, and the late po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes, cowpeas and
truck crops generally are good. The
hemp, which is now being cut is of
excellent quality, but the predictions
are that the late yield will be poor,
so the two crops will about equal
the average.
Tomatoes and potatoes are selling
at So per bushel, and the outlook
for a future scarcity of tomatoes
makes the housewives who have not
made their catsup and chilli sauce
very anxious. There are still an
abundance of green tomatoes on the
vines. Late last week and early this
week loads of watermelons, canta-
loupes and apples were brought to
the local market. They were of good
flavor and the price were high.
Wherever garden products are not
being canned they are being dried
and for this there are plenty of'but-
terbeans and string beans, and for
every jar of jelly or preserves that
were made in former times, from
three to five are being made this fall.
Grape juice, other fruit fiavors and
grape wine are being made in large
quantities where the grapes are good
and plentiful. The recent hard rains,
windstorms and the small boys in
many neighborhoods have interfered
with the plans of the housewives in
this respect.

IT PAYS TO ADvERTISE-IN THE
NEWS.

The home of Chief of Police Link
was recently visited by an inconsid-
crate thief, who stole a lot of flow
ers, shrubbery, etc., from the porch
and yard.
Wednesday morning when Chief
Link came out on the front porch
at his home, he was greatly surpris-
ed to find there lot of flowers,
among. them big bunch Of lilies
and some potted plants, which he
recognized as having been a part of
the landscape arrangements and
porch decorations of his home. On
the lfllies lay half-sheet of note
paper, on which was written in a
rather boyish scrawl the message:
"Ah, Fred Link, stole your flow
ers just to see if you could find
them. I read piece in THE BOUR-
BON NEWS about them, so brought
them back to you so you could find
them"
So once more the value of adver-
Using is shown even in this indi-
rect manner. 1t wasn't so much the
theif's conscience that troubled him,
as the certainty that Chief Link
would not be able to find the flowers
and he wanted to show the good in
fiuence first-class family paper
could exert

CHARLES RICHARD CRANE

Like Moses, who was led upon the
mountain for a glimpse of the prom
ised land, and was then denied ems
trance, Charles Richard Crane once
almost attained the distinction Of be-
ing United Stats Minister China.
He was appointed to the pos, and
then, before he cobl ld take it, resign
ed. RAt unlike Moses, Mr.. Crane still
has the chance of entering Uncle
Sans diplomatic service, whereas the
great leader of the tribes of Israel
neer got another chance. 1t all hap
pened in 1909 when President Taft
offered Mr.. Crane the post at the
American legation in China. After
receiving much instructions as new
ly appointed diplomat always receives
at Washington, Mr.. Crane packed his
clothes and started out. When he
got as far as San francisco he is
sued some sort of statement to the
effect that the United States was pre-
pared to protest against the Chinese
Japanese agreement then prominent
ly, before the public. This was con-
strued as an undiplomatic statement
by Secretary of State Knox, who re-
called Mr.. Crane just before the
steamship cast anchor for the ORR
emit. But not even Secretary Knox
could handle, Mr.. Crane that way, so
he promptly resigned. Mr.. Crane was
once an ardent Cleveland Democrat.
but didn't agree with the policies of
William Jennings Bryan, SO he join
ed the Republican forces in 1903 when
Bryan was nominated to run against
Taft. Later he helped to finance the
La Toilette boom, gave Col. Roosevelt
financial backing, and when Wood
cow Wilson was nominated for the
presidency, threw his support to the
Democrats. That is why there still
remains chance, and perhaps a gooo
one, for Mr.. Crane to become Ambas-
sador or Minister Crane.

Chicago Aug. Z. 1858, and is there

Parisr Aug. THE Journal de De-
bats in prominent review of finance
IN the United States, says it is an I'M
perative duty to recognize obligations
towards France and that it must open
credits to allies as large as may. be
required, without which they cannot
continue the war. The article points
out that the status of the United
States is different now that she Is In
the war and says she must not ex-
|pect the same security as when her
standing was on a private basis. Ex-
isting conditions, the review says, ur-
gently require that purchases outside
of France be held to the lowest posi-
Bile limits for If the country shows a
willingness to cut down all internal
expenses II will have right to call on
the Allies for needed financial aid.

many other things to France land

Warrington, Oct. 1S-That q health

umn was one of the suggestions for
health education, offered by DR.. John
w. TraSk, assistant surgeon general
of the United States public health
service, in an, address today before q

The world wars end would be
fastened by the application Of the
principles Of industrial physiology to
plants engaged in the manufacture

ick s. Lee Of Columbia university, in
an address on The. Human Machine

ton. Speaking Of the human ma
chine in industry he said:
Like other industrial machines it
can be worked at different speeds but
1t cannot be worked for an Indefinite
period, because it is subject to the
limitation of fatigue. Fatigue delays
work, diminishes output, spoils goods,
causes accidents and sickness and in
all these ways is an obstacle to eff
cheney. How fatigue can be kept down
to its lowest reasonable limit, the hu-
obtain from 1t the most proht-con-

problems Of the day"
DR.. Lee then spoke Of the studies
being made by British and American
committees Of wal industries. one of
the important results Of which, he
said, related to the hours Of labor
can be performed. He cited instances
in which an increase in production
followed a reduction in the hours of
