KENTUCKY-WHERE
(EliZabethtown News.)

(EliZabethtown News.)
Let's put Kentucky where she be-
| longs. There has been too much of
this cline horses, pretty women, good
| whisky talk for the good of the
state. Even a great majority of we
Kentuckians don't know how high our
Commonwealth ranks with other
states. Here are few facts that pos
sible YOU don't know:
Kentucky has the largest white
reputation of any state south of the
Ohoi river.
Seventy-fivc per cent of it's popu-
lation is rural.
Kentucky leads all states in the
Union in thoroughbred horses, in to-
bacco. hemp and sorghum cane. Our
tobacco crop in 1915 was $50, 00O.-
600 pounds, more than one-third of
the total crop of America.
Kentucky ranks fifth in the produc-
tion of coal
Kentucky is the tenth state in the
production of corn, showing last
wear a yield of over 115,O00,OOO
bushels.
There are more registered Jersey
cattle in Shelby county, Ky, than in
any county in any state in America.
The value of farm property in Ken
lucky is over $500, 900, 900, being
larger than that of any other state
in the South
Among the states south of the Ohio
river Kentucky leads in the produc-
tion of dairy and beef cattle, horses,
poultry, sheep and wool 1t leads also
in corn, wheat and tobacco. and
comes second in hay and potatoes.
There are more silos in Kentucky
than in all the other states of the
Central South put together
In 1914 there were registered in |
Kentucky only $3.50 automobiles. To- /
day the registration is over 10000. |
There were twenty-five states in !
the Union last year that produced |
farm products valued at over $780, |
100000, Kentucky was one Of these. |
Kentucky leads all states of the |
South in its total poultry products, !
that is eggs and fowls.
Kentucky also leads the South in |
the purchase and use of farm imple-
ments and machinery.

Rural Credits People
Affected BY Ruling OF Referee Worth
ington At Lexington

approximately eight thousand
stockholders Of the Kentucky Rural
/ Credit Association scattered all over
Kentucky including several hundred
right here in Lincoln are affected by
ruling made late Saturday in Lex

United States referee in bankruptcy
for this district, i'm this suit Of John
Morris Bourne. of Owenton, and nine
other plaintiffs against the associa-
ton
The case was several months ago
referred by Federal Judge Cochran
to Referee Worthngton for an inves-
tigdtion and opinion, and many hum
drcd Of typcwritten pages Of deposit
tious and briefs constitute the record
i'm this important action.
Referee Worthington's ruling which
was that the claims of the plaintiffs
are provable, is sustained by Federal
Judge Cochran, means that the affairs
of the defunCt association will be
thrown into bankruptcy in the Feder-
al Court, and that the stockholders,
instead Of beng compelled to pay up
the remaining stock for which they
subscribed. and which was unpaid ut
the time the association went into
the hands of Receiver r. j. Colbert,
the amount being estimated at about
500. 900, will be declared creditors.
and share in the pro rata distribution
of the funds now in the receivers
hands, amounting to something like
100000 it Is estimated.
The decision of Referee Worthing-
tor was prepared Saturday and was
in the hands of Federal Judge Coch-
ran Monday.
The history Of the Kentucky Rural
Credit Association which was launch
ed about two years ago with Cover
nor James b. McCreary as president
ard a board of directors comprising
some of the hest known men in Ken
lucky, for the ostensible purpose of
supplying the farmers of the state
with financial backing in the shape
of loans. is interesting.
q. l.. Van Laningham, of Kansas
City, was the promoter of the plan,
and thrugh his field agents he secur-
ed subscriptions to the stock from
farmers all over Kentucky. Ii is said
that he collected about $4,000 in
commissions on the promise that sub
Scribres who paid up their stock
would be entitled to loan Of 900
for each $50 paid in. applications for
loans being honorcd in the order
they were filed. After the promoter
and his agents were paid their com |
missions, however, very little, as the |
sequel shows, was left in the way of !
funds 10 pay the running expenses Of |
the association and meet its Obliga- |
tons to the stockholders.
Elegant offices were fitted up in |
the Fayettc National Bank building |
in Lexington. and things went merri-
ly until the stockholders began to
,lamor for their loans, and when they
were ,<no5Sxorthcoming and assess

crash came.
The upshOt of the business was that |
