CAN'T DOWN DOWNEY.

A number of travelling men, all
good friends of Ben Downey, of
Paris, the genial travelling represen-
tative in this section of International
Biscuit Company, have been string
ing him for some time in regard to
the liberality of the various concerns
they represent in taking small
block of Liberty Loan stock.
A few mornings ago Ben found a
letter lying on his desk in the Lex
ington office, enclosed in which was
a circular from the National Biscuit
Company. With this, which is print
ed below, Ben turned the tables on
his good friends, who are silent on
the subject. The circular, which was
marked, Put on Downey's desk"
read as follows:
THE NATIONS NEED.
THE response that is being made
by the people to the Liberty Loan is
both inspiring and encouraging. In
dividuals and corporations alike are
subscribing generously, among the
first of the latter being the National
Boscuit Company, which took half
million dollars of these bonds.
ITO conserve what our ancestors
fought for and to make the world
safe for democracy the Liberty Loan
must be made great patriotic sue
cess, for the future peace and secur-
ity of the world are in the balance.
Here is a great opportunity to help
the Nation. Now is the time for all
good men to come to it's aid"

Potato Bearing Dahlia
Produced by Gardner

Eureka. Gala. Hickman. an aged
gardener of this city. has succeeded in
crossing the familiar Irish potato with
the dahlia, the combination producing
a species of potato which is believed
to be far superior to that found ordi-
rarily on the market. With the new
potato one may have flowers for the
decoration Of his home and, when the
plants have reached maturity, pota-
toes for his dinner.
The main value Of HiekmanS po-
tato dahlia comes from the fact that
the plant follows closely the dahlia
type and hence should be immune from
the blight, the great potato scourge of
the northwest. The new potato is said
to have a flavor far superior to that
of the ordinary potato. 1t bears

The legislature had adjourned before

no provision whatever made for tho
Sta,e ;AApenulng any money in behalf
OF war tslctivities, of which crop pro-
auction is one of the greatest, The
national government has a fund with
which seed grain may u. purchased
nut the seed is sold to farmers for
cash at cost. There is a state law
which empowers county commission
ers to issue bonds to the amount of
$4,000 for the purchase of seed grain
to be furnished to farmers but in sew
efal counties this will go but a short
way.
At meeting of the state council
the situation was discussed and the
unanimous opinion was that the need
was greatest with those farmers who
had not yet obtained title to their
lands. many of whom had total or par
tial failures last year. These men in
many instances had used up their en- :
tire credit in the effort to put in a
hg acreage last spring. In view of the
situation. the secretary was directed
