RUNNING TO COVER.

So long as man is right, is hon
est in his intentions and fights open
" and fearlessly he has nothing to
hide. When he is, to use familiar
bit of vernacular of the streets,
taking" and is being exposed ne
runs to cover.
1t is said of the ostrich that when
pursued be hides his head in the
sand and thinks that he is safe.
The men who a short while ago
were so open in their denunciation
of the selected draft law are now
heard only on rare occasions, and
then, their voices are subdued and
hushed.
They are seeking cover before it
is too late.
II will be cheerfully admitted that
many Of the administration oppon-
ents were conscientious in their
views. They had no Interior motives
in their attacks on the President and
his war policies. They were for
peace, they felt that the United
States had best remain out of war,
they thought that the time for such
a conflict was inopportune. Foa
these reasons they openly opposed
the action of the President in de-
claring war. 1t is well to add that
most of these people, finding that
they had been mistaken, changed
their views-or have at least subsidized.
But the other pacifists, who were
actuated by reasons best known to
themselves, and men identified with
the German propaganda, have found
that public sentiment has become so
fixed that the best thing for them to
do is to seek safety in retreat.
This is the best possible sign that
the American people are beginning to
be thoroughly aroused to the serious
ness of the nations struggle.
There is always spirit Of for
giveness for the man or the woman
who makes mistakes and is willing to
admit the error. and to such people
the right hand Of fellowship is ex-
tended. They are gladly welcomed
back into the fold. but the individual
who refuses to admit his mistake, yet
fears to face the public and runs to
cover, is the recipient of American
contempt.
! 1t is an old sign that when men
run TO cover II is to save themselves
from fatal fire. The fact that the
American field is being cleared. that
the sentiment of the American peo-
Aple is becoming solicited, 10 very en-
couraging.
II means much. II means that we
are at last almost united in our pur-
pose to make the best of war and to
win. regardless Of cost OF, the vicis-
situdes eoafronting us.-hemphis

Bread. Milk and Meat Are Our
Chief Foods.


Chief Foods.
Wheat is the best bread material
for us and our allies.
The Government insures approx
mately $500 per bushel for the 1915
wheat crop.
By all means sow larger acre
age than last year.
Directions for Growing Wheat;
Seed and Varieties.
The varieties of wheat generally
grown in Kentucky are the best fol-
this State. These are Fultz, q
smooth white chaff variety; Currell's
Prolific, having smooth head with
red chaff; Fulcaster, bearded va
riety, and Mediterranean or Four
rowed Fultz.
II necessary to buy seed one OF
these varieties should be chosen, and
if possible the seed should be
bought in the immediate locality
" Home grown seed is just as good as
Northern seed if reasonably clean
and pure. No farmer can afford to
buy enough high priced seed from a
distance to plant his entire crop, and
pay freight charges in addition, just
to have absolutely pure seed. A
moderate admixture of other varie-
ties will not decrease the Weld. The
important thing is to have seed free
from rye, cheat and especially cookie
and onions.
Seed wheat should be cleaned in
order to remove lightt shrunken
grains, dirt and other impurities
There is no advantage in screening
out small grains if they are plump.
Smut Treatment.
Sinking smut sometimes causes
considerable loss in Kentucky. 1t

 If Cuticura did no more than soothe and heal eczemas, rashes, itchings and burnings, bringing speedy ,comfort to. tortured, dis6gured men, women and children it would be entitled to the highest praise.

 Underground Railroad was the name applied to the system which was maintained before the Civil war by the northern sympathizers to aid in the escape of fugitive slaves, and this they accomplished by plotting them through the northern states into Canada and beyond the fugitive slave law. The most favored routes were through Pennsylvania and Ohio. The stations were private houses and the inmf4es were known to be pledged to the cause. The fugitives reached these stations after nightfaH, were secreted during the day and at night started again on their journey. So secretly were the means of escape guarded, and so swiftly were the fugitives passed along the route, that it was declared there must be an underground rail- road to facilitate thair' flight. The rame caught the popular fancy and was used urLN the operations ended.
