States in the Union, and more than
one-third of all the tobacco raised in
the United States. The crop now
being marketed amounts in round
numbers to 435,600,000 pounds
which is eS.2Vo.000 pounds more
than the 1915 crop, and the farmers
of Kentucky have received and will
receive in round numbers, the hand
some sum Of $55.321, 900, nearly
twice as much as they realized for
the crop grown in the year 1915.
The average farm price of this
crop is $12.7O per hundred, while in
1915 it was $3.50. This material in
crease serves not only as a stimulant
to the farmers in their efforts to i'm
prove the quality of tobacco, but is
an incentive for more skillful hand
ling in preparing it for the market.
Not great many years ago, the
farmers, under then existing prices.
would. as rule, realize about
enough to pay their taxes and buy
winter shoes for their families; but
now they may deliver, pay notes,
improve their farms, purchase stock
and in many cases put neat sums in
bank or buy automobiles.
Those who have never engaged In
the production of tobacco can not APP
preciate the endless toll and sacrifice
with it. From the burn
ing of the plant beds to placing the
finished product on the scales means
almost continuous efforts and labor
ious eXertions, and those who bend
their backs stripping suckers and
lighting worms earn and deserve the
prices being received and more. 1t
Is to be hoped that the growers in
will hold the advantageous
position which they have attained so
hat in the future they may receive
1T least reasonable compensation for
heir labor.

HOMICIDAL TRAFFIC..

The recent wreck in Louisville
with its appalling results furnishes
another solemn and striking example
of disregard for human life by suffer-
ing those death-traps, known as
grade-crossings, to be maintained on
public thoroughfares where street
and motor cars contribute to the per-
ilous conditions. When will this city
that boasts of progress in other chan
nels take steps to protect in some
measure the lives of those who fol-
low or traverse her streets? If the
street railway lines continue to in
teTsect the steam railroads on the
same grade, then the Safety First"
shingles should be hung on the OUT
SIDE instead of INSIDE the cars
that the ould-be-passenge may be
thus silently warned that while 1t
will take him LONGER to walk, he
may be permitted to WALK longer;
and that if he can dodge the auto
trucks. jitney buses and crazy motor
cycles, he may be able to reach his
destination without the assistance of
the doctor or undertaken. AS it is,
when he enters a car and drops his
nickle in the slot the chances are he
not only pays for his ride in the car
but also in the ambulance or hearse,
and that without request he may re-
ceive a transfer to the hospital or
morgue.
Either these inexcusable, indefen-
sible and intolerable conditions
should be eliminated or there should
be some elimination along other
lines. Louisville has some, and may
have many things to be proud of,
but her facilities for handling pas
senger traffic with a reasonable de-
gree OF safety can not be considered
in that class.

NEWT. BAIZE FOR JAILER.

In this issue of The Herald we an
nounce the candidacy of Mr.. Newton
r. Baize, of the Fordsville Magiste-
rial District, for the nomination for
the office of Jailer of Ohio county,
Kentucky, subject to the action of
i-the MISUNDERSTANDING election,
August 4, 1917.
We take pleasure in saying to our
readers that Mr. Baize is one of the
substantial farmers and citizens in
his precinct; that his announcement
has been brought out at the earnest
instance of the citizens of his own
precinct, and many others through
out the county. He has a large ac-
quaintance through the county, and
a large relationship, which have been
faithful party and patriotic workers
for at least three generations.
He is the grandson of Abednago
Baize, a pioneer citizen and Demo-
crat, and the son of Benjamin T.
Baize, who in his life time was al
was prominent as a citizen and DEM
ocrat.
Mr.. Baize has never before asked
for a county office, although he has
served with distinction on various
commissions of the County Court,
and has been twice elected Consta-
BILE in the Fordsville Magisterial dis
trict. Upon the occasion of one of
the elections, We believe it was in
1905, he was the only Democrat
elected in Ohio county.
Mr.. Baize has always been faithful
to his friends and his party. He will
make a strong race in the primary
and II nominated will do as much
for the ticket as any man on it. Sure
ly no candidate can stand better in
his own community, than does Mr..
Baize.

dear husband, B. Frank Fulk, who died
two years ago, August Is, 1915.
Come quickly. Our Master said these
words,
And gazed with plying look;
While al high noon on that bright day,
Our loved our then he took.
Close 10 my heart that day held,
My tears were falling fast,
An empty caSket; the gem loved
Is gone, but safe at last.
Master, keep my gem for me,
For il is truly thine;
Safe in the home, not made with hands,
For it is thine and mine.
