CHORUS

Weep no more my lady; oh weep no
more to-day;
Well sing one song for the old Ken
lucky home,
For our old Kentucky home far away
The darkies had laid down their
hoe and rake; the little tots had plac
ed themselves behind the large shell
tering trees, while the old black wo-
men were peeping around the corner
of the house. The faithful old house
dog never took his eyes off the young
singers. Everything was still, not
even the stirring of the leaves broke
the wonderful silence.
Again the brother and sister took
hold of the remaining notes and sang
in sweet accents.
They hunt no more for the 'possum
and the coon,
On the meadow, the hill and the
shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer cf
the moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door
The day goes by like a shadow DER
the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight:
The time has come when the darkies
have to part,
Then My old Kentucky home, good
night
REPEAT CHORUS.
The head must bow and the back will
have to bend,
Wherever the darkies may go.
A few more days and the trouble all
will end,
In the fields where the sugar canes
grow.
A few more days to tote the weary
load
No matter, it will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the
road,
Then my old Kentucky home, good
night.
AS the song was finished, tears
flowed down the old darkies' cheeks
The children crept from their hiding
places behind the trees, their faces
wreathed in smiles. The hooking bird
and the thrush sought their homes In
the thicket, while the old dog still lay
basking in the sun.

ments and fields of beautiful France,
and, at last, in memory of countless
numbers of Edith Cavells.
Therefore, The people of the city
of Paris, and the County of Bourbon
in mass convention assembled, this.
April IA, 1917,
Resolved, First: That we unreserv-
edly commend and endorse the his
toric and enduring words and actions
of the President of the United States
in guidance of our country through
out these years of trial and almost
unbearable responsibility, and, mind
full of all the burdens and sacrifices
entailed, we commend and approve
the resolution of Congress declaring
a state of war existing between our
country and the so-called Imperial
Government Of Germany. We are
happy il the consciousness that both
Senators and all members of the
House Of Representatives from Ken
lucky responded to the call of Amer
lea, and splendidly supported this res
olution i'm defense of our country and
our homes.
BE e Resolved, Secondly: That we
tender hereby, in support of these
actions by the President and the
Congress, TO our country the moral
and material support of all the cit
izenship of Bourbon county, pledging
unreservedly every resource to the
limit of our capacity for the mainten-
ance and preservation of the ideals
that have made America, and the fu-
ture of which, God helping us, we are
resolved, even to the last man and
the last dollar, shall be secured as a
heritage for our children. as il was
guaranteed to us by those who have
gone before. To these ends we dedi-
cate our answering loyalty, all requi-
site sacrifice and suffering, and, while
not seeking the combat, since it has
been forced upon us, we expect and ask
peace of victory.
Resolved, Further: That as citi-
zens of this great country, anxiously
awaiting from hour to hour informa-
ton as to action being taken by those
in authority of government, we urge q
speedy preparedness for any end, no
matter how distant in space or time ;
that at the earliest possible moment
the Star Spangled Banner shall be
placed on the battle front side by side
with the Cross of st. George and the
Tricolor of glorious France; that no
separate peace be ever negotiated with
this vicious, brutal and monstrous en-
envy of humanity an. its civilized in
situations.
Resolved, Finally: That copies OF
these resolutions be forwarded to the
President, to the Senators from Ken
lucky, and to ]. Campbell Cantrill,
member of Congress for the district
IN which we reside"
After the adoption of the resolutions
which was done amid the greatest en-
thusiasm, the meeting was closed with
a benediction pronounced by Ed. j.
TAYLOR Sharrard.

who lack the adaptability to hold
Office, store or factory positions.
Servants are Injuries to-day. Where
they once jumped at SO per week, they
often now ask double that sum. Hence
many young married women, whose
mothers kept hired girls" are TO-DAY
donning the apron, and are indepenI-
ent mistresses of the kitchen.
For young people Of moderate in
come and good health, it is a sensi.
BILE thing to do. There are many ap
planes that make homework easier
The husband should not feel it be
reath his dignity to help clean house
or wipe dishes. The saving is sub
stantial, and may be the foundation OF
a fortune.

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.

Oh, say can you see, by the dawns
early light,
What We SO proudly hailed at the twi
lights last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
thro' the perilous fight,
Ger the rampartS we watched, were SO
CALAMITY streaming,
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave?
On the shore dimly seen thro' the mist
of the deep,
Where the foes host in dread silence
reposes,
AS it fitfully blows, half conceals, half
discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines or
IT'S the star-spangled banner, o, long
may it wave,
Ger the land of the free and the homI
of the brave.
90
Oh, thus be it ever when freeman
shall stand.
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation,
Blest with victory and peace may the
Heaven rescued land
Praise the power that hath made ant
preserved us nation;
Then conquer we must when our caus,
it be just,
And this be our motto, "In God is on
trust"
And the star-spangled banner in tn
p, umph shall wave.
Ger the land of the free and the hom
of the brave.

Property owners prehaps say to them
selves that the strangers that pass b.
won't know who it is that keeps such

know the name of the town.
Many towns. realizing the impor'
lance of the effect produced on tray'
e1ers. take pains to make little park
spots near railroad stations and alon2
main streets. Ii is astonishing what
a change can be- made in a dingy
square by planting a few trees and
shrubs.
Every town should have committee
20 look specially after the appearance
Of these arteries of travel. The own
ers OF property abutting on them
should be urged to cooperate in gen

rubbish out OF its right Of way, the
towns-people could better afford to dc
u themselves than to let it remain. II
q screen of trees could be planted
z,ong the back yards adjoining rail-
road tracks, the traveller in a few
years would get a wholly different i'm
preston of the place.

Farm Notes

Farmers and stockmen of Car
roll county are taking an interest
in the agricultural fair in Hunt
ingdon Friday and Saturday. The
boys and girls clubs are at the
front Friday, while Saturday is
live stock day. The Shorthorn
breeders of the county will hold
their first show Saturday. Two
pleasant and profitable days are
expected.
A few people 10 the county
thought that the county fair was
held in Huntingdon last week.
That was nothing more than a
street fair and was in no way con-
nected with the agricultural inter-
ests of the county. The exhibit
of corn and canning club products
and poultry and live stock this
week is to be agricultural and ed
ucational in nature and is entirely
separate from any tented attrac.
tions and carnivals.
Cotton picking continues over
the county, being featured by low
yield and high prices.

FARMER TO HELP MAINTAIN
FREEDOM NE HELPED WIN

In the first Liberty Loan Cam
paign, many Of the farmers OF thu
country were not reached, and sub
seriptions from the rural committees
were few.
There were several reasons for this
the foremost OF which was that the
loan was put out in the spring, when
they were busy with their crops and
it was difficult for the canyassers to
interview them.
Then, too, they had to borrow mon
ely for their planting Now their crops
in, and at the present high price Of
food stuffs they should have large
sum Of money in their hands.
For loan OF portion OF that
money, the Liberty Bond campaigners
are now appealing all over the coun'
try. The various farm bureaus and
societies are cooperating and good re-
suits are expected.
When liberty came TO America the
farmer helped to bring il He carried
the gun; he contributed unsparinsly
of his substance; he fed the armies,
In the present struggle for universal
liberty 1t Is certain he will do no less,
He has already made splendid re,
Spouse TO the demand for greater food
production. The first loan largely

The second campaign should give
every opportunity for farmers as in
dividuals and their organizations TO
support the government In its financial
program 1t is the highest expression
OF Americanism that all the people
should help carry the common load
in this critical hour.

do this is to fasten a box to the
rear end of the wagon and pitch
into Is all ears whicltare desirable
for seed. In this way q box full
of seed corn can be secured with
every load of corn gathered, and
when through harvesting there is
a good pile eff corn from which to
select all seed.
Ears selected for seed should be
those of good size and weight,
which are found at a medium
heighth from the ground on Wig
orous stalks, which had plenty of
room for proper growth and de-
velopment. Ears for seed should
hang with the tip pointing down,
ward rather than standing upright.
Ears which grow too high up on
the stalk should not be used for
seed. On good land a stalk should
produce two ears. To produce
two-ear corn every ear for seed |
should come from stalks producing
two we'll developed ears. One
farmer by hand picking his seed |
in the field this way has developed
his corn to the extent that by ac-
tual count three out Of four stalks
in the field produced two good
ears. Any farmer can do as well
BY giving some time and attention
to proper seed selection in the
field. 1t takes no more land, la
Dor or seed to materially increase
the yield in this way. With the
present price Of corn and the need
for more foodstutfs we should in
crease our yield as a war measure.
Will you select YOUR seed in the
field this fall?

According to press dispatches, the
German railway authorities warn trav-
elers to wear warm clothing, not only
on long journeys. but also when using
the Berlin local railways, as they can
not guarantee the trains being heated.
The reasons assigned are the heavy de-
manis on the railway administration
for the delivery Of locomotives in the
enemy territories occupied and the ne
cessity for the installation Of heating
apparatus or hospital trains.
