PRESIDENT WILSON ACCLAIMED

The American people, regardless of partisanshlp, cannot help
but feel proud of the enthusiastic welcome given their President up
ON his arrival in Paris. 1t was not SO much the formal greetings OF
the French government officials, from the President of France down,
blest up. that interests us. Everywhere President Wilson is looked
upon as the great leader of the people struggling for the hght-hb.
erty and freedom. What Abraham Lincoln was to the oppressed
negro whorl he lifted out of slavery, Woodrow Wilson has come to
be TO the down trodden and oppressed masses of Europe who have
been ground down under the iron heel of militarism fostered by
kings and emperors for centuries.
The coIdialty of the French government heads was to be ex-
peted. Not that there is any pretense to the hearty welcome ac-
corded the President Of the United States by the President of France
presions Of goodwill come from the heart, but the Formally Of
greeting the head of a foreign nation Is always something that is
to be expected. The code of ethics among nations would entltle the
visitor a welcome, whether the nations were actually friendly or not.
But when the masses acclaim the visitor as no other man has
been acclaimed, ever among their own leaders; when the visitor is
hailed on all sides as the great spokesman of democracy, the cham
pion of the oppressed, there is something more than mere Formally
in the greeting.
America has reason to feel proud and glad that from her shores
leader of the people. Millions look to him to see that they obtain
Justice. The Poles, the CzechoSlovaks, the Jugoaavs, even the far
off Armenians, not to mention the millions of other races, look to
Woodrow Wilson as their spokesman, guide and friend.
1t is a wonderful thing, indeed, to win such a place in the hearts
of the peoples of the earth. The President has kept his own coun-
cs, but we have learned from experience that he will not fail. those
who thus put their faith in him. Already we read that the Presi-
dents ideals are winning France. Correspondents cabling from the
French capital state that in the two brief days that the President
Such is the wonderful effect of his marvellous personality and con-
yncing arguments.
1t is a grand thing to play a leading part in this greatest Of all
historic events. Proud, indeed, should we be as a nation to have pro-
duced the man, in the person of Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States, who fills this most exalted position.

Boston "Tea Party" is Attacked by
IcOnOclastS


Boston's celebrated tea party"
which was held 145 years ago today,
December 16, 1878, a within recent
years been the subject of attack by
i~conoclasts. Not content with brand
ing as a myth the story of George
Washington and the cherry tree, and
casting reflections on Paul Revere,
the famous equestrian hero. the idol
smashers have sought to prove that
the tea party was in fact a beer party.
1t was not the spirit of patriotism,
but the spirits imbibed in John Dug
CANS tavern which animated h i'm
mortal sixty-two, disguised as In
dams, according to the assertion
made by a member of the United
States congress a few a ago This
assertion naturally aroused much in
dignation. and a great mass of evil
dence in rebuttal has been offered.
According to the defenders of the
tea party, John Duggan, the saloon
keeper who is sale to have supplied
the beer which fred the patriotism of
the drinkers thereof, was only seven
years old 1t the time of the Boston
occurrence, and, moreover, was still
in Ireland. Mr.. Duggan, who later
sold LIQUID refreshments to the thirsty
of Boston-town, was born in 1865,
and did not come to America until
many years after the tea incident.

BUMPER CROPS PREDICTED FOR
STATE AND NATION

Bumper crops of wheat, oats, rye,
barley, hay and less important
crops are now in sight for both Ken
lucky and the United States as the
farmers part in helping win the war.
This has been accomplished by the
farmers in spite of shortage of labor,
increased cost of raising the crops,
and other hindrances.
Reports on the acreage and condi-
ton of the corn, potato and tobacco
crops are not yet ready for publica-
ton, but are being prepared and will
be announced as quickly as reliable
estimates can be secured.
Apples, peaches, pears and berries
are the only crops on which full in
formation is now available that do
not show an increase in the crop
prospects for this year compared to
last year and the average.
Prospects for the United States
crop of spring and winter wheat are
now 931, 100000 bushels as compar-
ed to 650,828,OOO bushels produced
in 1917, while the 1918 crop in Ken
lucky promises to be 13,80O,0O0
bushels, compared to 100000
bushels in 1917, and an average of
9,434,O00 bushels.
The United States oats crop now
promises to be $4,000, 100000 bushels
compared to 1,5S7,2S6,OO0 bushels
in 1917, while Kentucky oats crop
now promises total yield of $780,
900 bushels, compared to 5000, 200
bushels in 1917.
Hay promises a good yield from an
increased acreage.
Fruit in Kentucky suffered from
the severe winter. Many peach
trees were partially or entirely killed
by cold and raspberries and black
berries suffered similarly, though
not so seriously. Apples promise a
fair crop, pears from one third to one
half crop.
