WOULD PAY DEFICIT

Over % million tons represent
ed the coal output Of Kentucky
last year. A tax of FIVE cents per
ton, of the output. would not be
burdensome on anybody, and the
revenue to the State would be
81, 100000 per year. This would
be sufficient to provide for Ken
tucky's present deficit and for what
is needed for future expenses, when
added to what is already being
paid in. A ton of coal is about
twenty-five bushels, and five cents
on a load, or twenty cents on a
hundred bushels, isn't much when
we come to think of 1.-THE Shelby
Record.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-01-23
FARM PRODUCTS IN 1916

American farm products attained
d gre IS value of $13,449, 900, 900 in
1916, making that year the greatest
in point of value of any in the
nations existence.
That estimate Of the years
growth value of farm crops and
animal products, announced last
week by the Department of Agricul-
ture, exceeds $2,674,OOO,OOO the
total of 1915, the previous record,
and by more than three and half
billion dollars the value in 1914.
Crop production for the year was
comparatively low and did not reach

condition would so retard the march
Of progress as return, either by
choice or necessity, to this degrad-
ing practice.
The twentieth century mind re-
volts at the idea of polygamy. Not
only is this true Of Americans, but
of Europeans as well. This being
true, what effect would il have upon
the people should such a practice
be revived7
To a race familiar with and ac-
customed to the practice it may APP
pear justifable and right But to
people who for centuries have
been taught to regard it as contrary
to the laws of nature the effect is
certain to be demoralizing to char
acter. Even those who would be
constrained to practice polygamy
would by force of their previous
training be compelled to regard
themselves as living in adultery.
How truly should every American
thank his God that our land has
been spared the horrors thas face
our cousins across the water, and
how firmly each should determine
that, come what may, we will never
be dragged into that conflict and
participate in that slaughter except
in actual defense of our own shores.
America today Is The white hope
of civilization. The destiny of the
race lies in the American hand to
shape as it WILL That we may be
true to our highest ideals is the
earnest prayer of every intelligent
soul within our borders.
Polygamy should never even be
considered in this country.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-01-23
WILL EUROPE
LEGALIZE P0LYGAMY?

The enormous slaughter of men
has started the sociologists to de-
batting the question of whether OF
not, at the close of hostilities, Eur
ope will be forced to legalize poly
gamy, or resort to some other such
expedient to provide mates for its
millions of unmarried women.
Although perhaps not generally
known, precisely such a condition
was faced in Europe at the end of
the Thirty Years war, and it was
met by legalizing polygamy until
relative balance of the sexes was

again established, when the laws

again established, when the laws
were repealed.
1t is estimated that should the
war continue for two years longer
there will be in the countries involv-
ed not less than twelve million fe-
males in excess of males. Hence it
can be plainly seen that the problem
confronting those countries is SER
ious indeed.
Europe, aside from the purely
material losses which she is sus-
tanning, and which are almost be-
yond conception or computation, is
facing a certain and serious check
to civilization. Possibly no other

record figures except in few
minor instances, bnt high prices
sent total values up.
Crops were valued at $0,1i1,Ooo,
900 and animal products at 49,
1888, 100000 The crop value ex-
ceeded that Of 1916 by $2,2O4, OOo,.
600 and Of 1914 by $2,299,OO0,00O.
Crops alone in 1916 we're worth
more than crops and animal pro-
duets in any year prior to 1912.
Four crops in 1916 each exceed
