MUCH MONEY IN
GATHERING SUMAC
Department of Agriculture TO Assist
in Developing Industry With Plant
Which Is Valuable Source
OF Tannin.

TENDER by gathering and curing SUI
mac as side line, the United States
Department of Agriculture says. To
assist in firmly establishing the in
dustry of gathering this wild plant
a source of tannin used in tanning
and dyeing-the department is soon
to publish in bulletin helpful sug-
gestions to gatherers and dealers. 1t
is believed that the possibilities of the
sumac industry has not been realized
and that wars interruption of Sicilian
importations makes the present an
opportune time to place the industry
on firmer footing. The sumac plant
is chiefly abundant east of the Mis-
sissippi River from Maine to Central
Georgia and Mississippi.
Domestic sumac as now prepared
for market contains less tannin and is
much inferior in color to the imported
Sicilian sumac. When properly gath
cred and cured, domestic sumac leaf
contains from 25 to 80 per cent. of
tannin, practically as much as the
Sicilian variety. Gatherers in this
country in recent years have received
a low price for sumac-from so cents
to $1.10 per hundred pounds. Care
fully gathered and properly cured ST.
Gillian sumac leaf sells in this coun-
try at from $3.50 to ID a hundred
pounds.
Proper methods of gathering, cur
ing and handling sumac are explained
in the bulletin. The common domes-
tic varieties of sumac are described,
30 that they may be readily recog-
nized and data on the comparative
tannin content are given, together
with other practical information on
the subject

VALUABLE ADVICE
Maysvjlle Citizens Should Profit By
The Following Statement.

Doan's Kidney Pills were used by
this Maysyille resident.
Their merit was shown-the story
told.
Now comes further evidence.
The testimony is confirmed.
The remedy was tested-the results

Could Maysville residents demand
stronger proof?
It's Maysville testimony. 1t can be
investigated.
A Sorries, lock and gun-smith, W.
Second and Wall Sts., gave the fol-
lowing statement in January 1912:
THE action of my kidneys was ire

breaking all records. Nearest APP
proach to this total was in May, when
$4,000 tons We're loaded Prior to
this draft this field has lost LOO men,
OF whom 925 were miners. Increased
loading, due TO greater efficiency and

CLOSE TAB IS
KEPT ON SUGAR
DURING AUGUST
Sugar RatiOns For This Month VIII BE
Two Pounds and Close Account
VIII BE Kept Of Sup
ply on Hand.

The sugar ration. for August will be
two pounds, and Federal Food Admin
istrator Fred M. Sackett, has issued
instructions to the County Admins
traitors to see that the limit is strict
ly enforced. Under the new system
devised by Mr.. Sackett, it will be an
easy mater to punish the selfish
householder or the carless and unpa-
triotic merchant.
Mr.. Sacketts instructions to the
retailers provide as follows: "A book
or card system must be kept in which
is registered the name of the house
hold buying sugar, the number of
persons in the family, the allotment
for the month at two pounds per
head, the dates during the month on
which the purchases were made, and
the total at the end of the month sup
piled to the family must not exceed
the allotment The book must be kept
alphabetically arranged and the pur-
chases of each family kept on the
page or the card reserved for the fam
lily, so that the inspector can see at
any time without hunting through the
book to find the purchases. The bet
ter plan is a small card system which
can be kept in a box, and each pur-
chase entered on the purchasers card
and the cards kept in alphabetical or
der"
In view of the reduced ration. the
allotment to retailers for August has
been cut. Every retailer has filed
with Mr.. Sackett a report of the
amount of sugar sold during the last
month. Only two-thirds of this
amount will be supplied him during
August.
Merchants supply sugar out of thei!
regular stock to householders with
canning certificates. If the certifi-
Gates are found to have been properly
issued, the Administration will re-
place the sugar sold for this purpose
In this way, if a merchant become
careless in selling for canning pur
poses, his stock will become depleted
| and his business will suffer. For this
reason, it is believed that the few
merchants who may be unpatriotic
will be forced to conduct their bust
ness just as if they were.

STATE TROOPS
OF KENTUCKY
To HAVE VOTE
Kentucky Soldiers and Sailors to Play
Part In November Election But
Excluded From Primary.

Frankfort, Ky. - Party campaign
committees in Kentucky will have a
new and important work to perform
and one that will require real system
and activity; which, in fact, may be
determining factor in the November
election - rounding up the soldier
vote. For the first time Kentucky SOL
diers in the field, and all other alb
sentees, whose regular occupations
call them away from home, will have
an opportunity to vote for Senator
Congressman and Judges this fall.
There are some $4,000 Kentuckians
in the army and navy. Probably over
10000 of these are voters How many
will be in France by election time is
problematical. Many of them will.
These cannot vote, because applica-
ton for the ballot can be made not
more than sixty days before the cleo
ton, and they could not get their bal
lots in time and get them back. A
special committee in charge of the
bill at the last session of the General
Assembly found that to extend the
time would throw the whole primary
and general election laws into con-
fusion.
There will be, however, thousands
of soldiers in camps in the United
States, many thousands more than
there are now. Ten thousand will go
next month, all over 81 years old.
Many sailors will be on shore duty or
within reach. The combined vote pre-
sents pretty possibilities for the skill
ed election manager.
No soldier votes will be cast in the
primary next Saturday. Candidates
for United States Senator for Con-
gressmen in each of the eleven dis
tricts and for Judge of the Court of
Appeals in the Second Appellate Dis
trict and for Circuit Judge in the
Fifth District will be nominated.
Democrats will nominate in the pri-
mary only a candidate for United
States Senator, Judge of the Court of
Appeals in the Second District and
Circuit Court in the Fifth District.

LINING INCREASES WHEAT
YIELDS

Lining gives nearly everywhere in
creased yields of wheat. Two tons of
ground limestone per acre will last
for six or eight years and, as a rule
in the experimental work, an increase
of 20 per cent in the wheat croD has
been the result. The writer knows of
no material outside of acid phosphate
so sure as lime to increase the wheat
crop appreciably. However, he would
not recommend it for land which pro-
duces good crops of clover without
lining.
Both our climate and the physical
makeup of our soils are favorable to
wheat production, but the soil fertil-
ity is too low. There is need of ma
nure as we'll as of lime and phos-
phate. Early soil preparation, the
right variety and the proper time of
seeding are important, as well as each
of many details that might be mem
toned and he who neglects to consid-
er them will suffer loss for, put to-
gether these details make the differ
ence between success and failure. At
the same time the crying need is in
creased soil fertility. Study over the
matter. Can not more farm manure
be saved and used for wheat than in
the past? Why not lime the land for
the sake of both the wheat and the
clover and grass which follows?

FARMERS ACTIVE
IN BOND DRIVE
Reports Indicate Considerably
Increased Subscriptions in
Fourth Liberty Loan.

Early preparations for the Liberty
Loan campaign In the Second Federal
Reserve District show that the activity
of farmers in the work of bond selling
will be considerably greater than in
the previous campaigns. The district
consists of the entire State of New
York, the twelve northern counties of
New Jersey and Fairfield County, Con-
necticut,
In the Third Liberty Loan campaign
considerable success in selling bonds
to farmers was achieved by means of
organized drives carried out by the
farmers themselves. Full preparations
were made for house to house can
vases and farmers On the local COM
mittees visited their neighbors and
thus procured very large subscriptions.
The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign,
which starts on September %, will con-
tinue for three weeks and will call for
larger number of subscriptions than
in either of the preceding campaigns.
For this reason it is recognized that a
more intensive canvass scheme will be
needed, and throughout farming Sec
lions committees are being organized
to carry on the work.
The patriotism of the farming pop
ulatlon has been adequately proved by
the earlier loan sales. Representatives
of the Liberty Loan Committee In New
York who have Travelled through the
State have reported their surprise that
practically every farmhouse which
they passed showed either service
flag or else certificates showing that
the farmers had contributed to the
previous Liberty Loans or War Stamp
drives as well as to the Red Cross and
other activities. Men in close touch
with the farming population say that
their patriotism has been considerably
stirred by the victories of the Amerl-
can and allied forces in France and
that particularly large percentage of
the subscriptions in the coming cam
paign may be expected from the farm
erS.
One of the favorable factors which
they continually emphasize is the fact
that the coming campaign will be held
at the end of the harvest season and
that consequently the farmers will
have much more mony available for
bond purchases than last spring, when
the Third Liberty Loan was on.

TO TEACH TOWN PLANNING
Already Provisions Are Being Made for
Reconstruction Period In Franco
and Belgium.

The reconstruction problem in
France is one that is likely to prove
overpowering if immediate steps are
not taken to approach it with ade-
quate preparation of study. When
the war ends, be it sooner or later,
the task of peaceful occupation of
this disrupted country will be as lit
tie for amateurs as the task Of
waging the war has been. 1t is
therefore extremely encouraging to
learn that a school of civic design
has been established in Paris with a
staff of all the acknowledged masters
of the subject available in that city.
The official title of the school is the
"Ecole Superieure Dart Publique"
and the director administrator is
M. Charles PATHS, well-known
architect of Brussels Many of the
Belgians now waiting in France to
return to their country will, it is ex-
pected, avail themselves of the teach
ing provided in the school.

COACH is WORTH PRESERVING
Vehicle in Which General Lafayette Is
Known to Have Ridden, Brought
to Light.

"What will they do with the La
fayette coach?" was the casual ques-
ton asked recently when it was
talked of tearing down the old sheds
In the rear of Trinity church at &C.
neva. 1t was thus learned that such
an historic relic had been hidden I'M
der cobwebs for many years.
This carriage was built by Henry
Brewster of New York over 100
years ago and brought to Geneva by
Henry De Zeng when he came there
to settle. So far as is known, this
was the only carriage in western
New York, outside of Rochester.
1t was in the summer of 1925 that
General Lafayette visited Geneva.
He had been the guest of the cele-
brated lawyer, Mr.. Gregg, in Can
andaigua and it was from there that
he was taken by this carriage to &C.
neva, from there to Auburn, SYRIA
cuse, Utica, etc. 1t was drawn by
six white horses and was accompa-
MED by outriders. Occupying the
coach besides General Lafayette
were his son and secretary. The
coach was afterward returned to its
owner in Geneva and its last public
appearance was at the centennial of
the city, about ten years ago, when
it carried Mr.. Keppler, a pioneer
over one hundred years old.-Buf-
