ing. gentlemen. it is a time when
the economic laws of the past,
which have been operative, be-
come imperative almost within
a day. New conditions which
have arisen demand a moditica.
ton o. some of our economic
laws. Today ! am going to do
something which | have never
done before, urge a maximum
crop pr, duction; the biggest pro-
duction that can be obtained.
Heretofore. | have bsen urging

Last year the southern states
paid $50 millions of dollars for

The food production of this
country has been below normal
for the last three years, and
again We are confronted with a

Need Instruction For CITY
Gardeners.

You are not going to pr1.uce
your Ct, p, for the same cost now
as before. but then you will not
sell at the same price. Bat what
patriotic farmer is interested in
the market now?
Every man in the city should
cultivate a garden in the back

Urges Gardens on all Farms.

not only now, but always. Study
and practice on this. Produce
enough for home use, for winter
storage and for canning Beside
this the garden should produce a
surplus for someone else. Make
your farm self-supporting and
then support a few other people.
Do some work in your garden
every day. Wen find a way to
store everything that Is pro-
| duced. Wen lay off if necessary,
during the winter months, and
let our salaries 80 to the pay
ment of demonstrators who can
SHOW the people how to can and
store these garden foods and
fruits.
Stress On Poulry's Importance.
Fourth Pay special attention
to the farm poulry yard Ken
lucky is far behind in the pro-
dlctlon Of eggs and poultry pro
duets. Let's have better hous-
! ing conditions next winter so
that 90 per cent of the hed's food
won't have to go to keep her
warm. Tear down that old hen
house and build a wind proof
one. Sixty hens ought to lay 40
eggs every day. Add a few
more pullets this fall. They will
pay their own way. Produce in.

sly Beans Good As Meat.
Sixth Soy beans are the best
substitutes for mea'. One pound
OF them equals a pound and a

grow twenty bushels to the acre.
A pound of soy beans contains
more nutriment than two dozen
eggs They are 20 per cent fat.

We may trade off some seed corn
for SOY been seeds. Buckwheat
should ba sown on the wheat
field if the wheat is no gooi.
Crimson clover should b. planted
with the buckwheat. And you
should grow a few acres Of SOY
beans for seed next year They
can be threshed with an ordinary
thresher, or even with a stick.
Grow beans, not tobacco. And
save some seed for next year.
Sell Only 200 Pound Hogs.
Seventh Livestock, cattle,

Money To Buy Purebred Stock

County Agent Howard Harrison
has made arrangements with the
Clay City National Bank and the
Powell County Deposit Bank to
supply those persons of the County
with money to buy purebred pigs
and chickns. This plan has been
successfully carried on for some
time in other counties and in every
instance has proved a success. This
plan should serve only as a step
ing stone to much greater things in
the way of introducing fine blooded
animals in cattle and sheep as well
as hogs and chickens.

The election of County officers
Tuesday was a very quiet oifair.
ID. r. Daniel led the Democratic
ticket and was elected Judge
over T. 9. Hall by $50 majority.
Close on his heels is :. Boone
for County Clerk. Two Repub
licans were elected, Dudley eau.
dill was elected for Superintend.
ent Of Schools over f. L. Tracy
by majority of sixty, and Will.
lie Garrett won out for Sheriff
over f. G Powell by six votes.
1t is impossible as usual in this
county to get the full vote of all
candidates in all the precincts,
but is safe to say the Democrats
for County officers are all safely
IN with the exception of Tracy
and Powell. Many women par
ticipated in the race for Superin'
tendent of-Schools. but it is claim
ed that their vote was about
equally divided. The day was an
ideal one for November.
The Times would like very
much to give the Tuil vote of all
candidates but this is impossible.
j. A. Sewell, Democrat, was
elected MAGISTRATE in the Clay
CITY district without opposition,
and 5. G.. Baker, Republican,
was elected Magistrate in the
Hardwick's Creek precinct.

4 "a Piece CT Read.

At the Powel's Valley railroad
crossing on the north side there is
considerable mud holes caused by
the iill of the railroad preventing
proper drainage. There is consld-
erable mud there now and as the
rains and snow falls there will be
more unless the railroad sinks a
culvert under the tracks so as to let
the water off the road. This piece
of road can be drained no other
way and the railroad should put in
the proper drainage at once so as to
let the water get away without so
much damage to the county road.

The Importance Of Roads.

Road rule the world, says an un-
known author, not kings nor con-
querors, not courts nor constables,
not ships nor soldiers. The road
is the only royal line in a democra-
cy, the only Legislature that never
changes, the only court that never
sleeps, the only army that never
quits, the first aid to the redemp-
tion Of any nation, the exodus from
stagnhtion in any society, the call
from savagery in any tribe, the
high priest of prosperity after the
order of malchisedec without be-
ginning Of days or end of life. The
road is umpire in every war, and
when the new map is made it simp-
ly pushes on its great campaign of
hep, hope, brotherhood. efficiency
and peace. Author Unknown.

AN AUTOMATIC
BOOKKEEPER
Powell County Deposit Bank
lnstalls New Burroughs Ad-
ding-Subtyacting Machine
To Keep Books.

A real mechanical marvel is the
new bookkeeping machine that has
just been installed at the Powell
County Deposit Bank. The ma
chine is the Burroughs Adding Sub
tracing Model and will greatly sim
plify the work of keeping the banks
books.
One should see this Burroughs in
operation to fully appreciate what
a wonderful thing it is. 1t auto
matically prints dates, subtracts
checks, adds deposits and computes
balances, all in one movement of
the carriage across the page, and
with a speed that seems incredible.
That is to say, the machine not on
ly posts figures to the larger page,
bat computes baiances auConla,iu-
ally as the posting is done.
Error-proof "Steel Brains"
And this automatic bookkeeper
can't make a mistake. His "steel
brains" are mathematically error
proof. Depressing the keys puts
figures Unto" the Burroughs.
Touching bar adds or subtracts the
figures and prints them in even rows.
And no matter how fast or how long
you feed figures into it, the machine
never gets tired, never lets errors
creep in through brain fag." 1t
has just as lively an appetite for
large numbers as for small. AS a
depositor you might deposit Sl0,-
100000 tomorrow, but the machine
would not have to exert itself to
enter the amount, add your old bal
ance, subtract your checks and au-
tomatically compute the correct
new balance of your account. The
only time it balks is when you
have an overdraft. Then it warns
the operator, by the simple eApeii-
ent of refusing to figure any more
without the subtract" lever is held
down, that your account is over
drawn, and thereupon proceeds to
print red "OD" signal opposite
the amount you need to get square
with the bank.
Heretofore, in posting to the led
ger it was necessary for list of
checks and deposits to be entered |
by hand in order for the bank to
properly debit and credit each GUS
TONER'S account. 4 he bookkeeper
had to add each list of checks men
tally, also had to add all deposits
and combine their total with the
customers old balance. When that /
was done, the total of all the checks
had to be deducted from the sum
of old balance and deposits to det-
ermine the new balance. With the
machine all this is accomplished
automatically and without any
mental calculation whatever. The
operator has only to depress the
proper keys and touch the operat-
ing bar.
Burroughs-posted ledgers have
many advantages that even a per-
son who is not familiar with book
keeping will recognize. As explain
ed, all figuring is handled mechani-
cally, the operator being obliged
only to watch the amounts he is
entering.
Then, in addition to the speed
and economy such "A method af-
fords, there is the infallible accura-
