SAVE THE LABOR IN GROWING
POTATOES.

There are but two ways of saving
human labor in growing potatoes; one
Is to use more horses per pillow, two
row cultivators instead of One-rOw
cultivators, and the like; the other Is
to make labor produce more bushels
per hour, and in this way reduce the
labor cost per bushel.
In certain New York counties some
five years ago it was found that 1t
took about 65 hours of human labor
to grow an acre of potatoes, as fol-
lows:

N. {. CONFERENCE
HAS ADJOURNED
Appointments Made BY Bishop
Collins Denny at EIkton
Last Sunday.

Hopkinsville, Ky, Sept. a.
The annual session of the Louis
Vile conference of the Southern
Methodist Church adjourned Sun
day afternoon in Elkton, short
business session being held at the
close of the memorial session.
This was unusual, as the con-
ference almost invariably ends at
noon on Monday and the change
this time was due largely to Bishop
Collins Denny's physical condition.
He reached Elkton in the early
stages of severe cold, which has
grown worse during the week.
Sunday he was unable to preach
and DR.. Frank NJ. Thomas filed
his appointment.
The last thing Sunday afternoon
was the reading of the assignment
of pastors, always the most inter-

softer surf of blue and crimson.
The sapphire sky Of September has
faded into a rose-touched curtain
of deeper azure which unfurls its
gaudy sunset streamers, flushed to
thousand multi-colors. The Au-
tumn-time has sentiment too ex-
quisite for analysis, too sweet for
expression. The colorful mingling
of sunset, sky and landscape
shames the palette of the painter
and leads the enamoured poet into
labyrinthine paths from whence he
can scarce return. 1t is the high
tide of the year. All memories TO-
Gus here and to the shrine of this
season we bring the increase Of
our broken aspirations and shatter-
led dreams. What of the high
hopes we cherished when spring
time came laughing into the land?
When the bursting OF bud and
blossom thrilled to the melody of
whispering zephyrs and the world
was all anew. What has gone with
that pet fancy we were going to
make a reality this summertime?
Where is the farmers bumper crop,
the professional mans sweeping
triumph, the business mans super
success and all our dreams which
iared in springtime and have with
cred meath the summers sun? We
have gathered in the harvests, both
of wealth and deeds, some thirty
and some and hundred fold. and
into the tomb of the dying year we
consign our hopes unrealized. And
as we stand on the border OF the
fading summer, even as many
pause on the rim of life's passing
season, we see our thoughts and
visions, touched by the hallowings
of retrospection, grow more and
more unto the perfect day. Hopes
blossom in memory and the i'm
mortality of shattered aspirations
is undisputed. When the soft. vel
yety twilight of life comes down on
silver wings, and as the afterglow
of summer fingers ere the blasts OF
winters night shuts down, who can
blame the fancies for straying and
the thoughts of man for wandering
up and down the reaches OF the
short-lived summer that is gone?
These memories give new impetus

When FanCieS Stray
(BY WALTER Creep

1t is goldenrod time, Autumn
time, the slumbrous season of
dreams! The mists hang like n
curtain in the valleys, the wood
snake wreathes the hil.topi With Il
filmy veil the sunshine kisses the
earth with caressing softness,
and our fancies long imprisoned In
CHANNEL of prosaic thought
break the bounds and fee. To the
hills and the lowlands, the woods
and meadows, we love to go in this
dreamy Autumn-time; we love TO
wander where the trees drop their
leaves of russell and Soll, while
above our head the chatte' Of the
squirrels and the song of the birds
blend with the voice of the wind
as it means a requiem DER the dy.
ing year. This season, marking
the browning glory of full gar
nered harvest, always seems to us
flood-time of sweet sentiment.
The abundant evidences of the
years decay-the following leaf,
the carol of the departing song
bird, the whitening flowers and the
parched scared grass,-touch the
/ soul with a peculiar pathos that is
too sad for laughter yet too glad
for tears. The pensive sunshine
dwells with tender light; here a
melancholy tenderness browning
the purple hills, there a sitting
mist, deepening into a mellow haze
in the farther valleys. The atmos-
phere, laden with a sensuous balm,
casts a magical spell over the spir-
| il that chastens the soul and keeps
the heart softened, lowering on
the borderland of sorrow.
Already the forests are turning.
The leaves bare like golden ban
ners against the blue background
of the October sky. Red, brown
and FURNISHED like old gold, they
fall one by one, forming variegat-
ed carpet for the tread of happy
children. The hickory nuts are
large this year. The paw-paws are
ripe and luscious. Walnuts are
abundant and all the magic foods
of the forest hold out their stores
to be gathered. Around the crack
ing fires this winter. who will hear
the merry laughs of the little ones
as these nut-feasts are held? Glori-
Gus Autumn, season of the ingather
ing and Precipitation for the sea-
sons past!
The grass is whitening and dry,
the summer blooms have faded.
Yet all the woodland is aglow with
flowers-fall flowers with their
lsuggestive beauty. The yellow
buds of the genus aster, the deep
purple of the ironwort, and the
bright-plumed goldenrods deck the
erstwhile grassy hillsides, while
down in the messy dells the pink
OF the fall forget-me-not mingles
with the blue of the cuplike blue
bell Among the. disrobing tree
tops sounds the chatter OF the de-
parting songbirds as they. start ON
their journey for the sunny south.

MANY PADUCIANs
HEAR GOVERNOR

Paducan, N.Y., sept. Z6.-Greet-
ed by packed courtroom, Gov.
James D. Black brought Ken
tucky's message of Democracy to
the Purchase capital tonight in a
plea for Endorsement of the entire
ticket at hhe polls in November.
The Governor challenged Edwin
P. Morrow and his Supporters to
pick a single flaw in the admins.
trations record, and appealed to
his hearers sense of fairness and
justice to uphold the standard
bearers of a party that is contri-
buting it's part in the Presidents
League of Nations battle.
Mr.. Morrow has dwelt at length
upun criticism, condemnation and
abuse of the Democratic party"
the Governor said.
That is the easiest thing a flip
pant tongue can do. There is no
argument in that at all.
HE charges that the Democra-
tic party in its State administration
has robbed the people of Kentucky
of thousands of dollars. That is a
serious charge and presents q de-
plorable condition, if it is true.
"If it is not true. it stamps Nor
row as a reckless man and not
worthy of being trusted by the
people of Kentucky. I ask Mr..
Morrow to file his bill of particu-
lars. He gives no evidence except
denunciations. If he. can't produce
evidence, then | denounce him as Il
reckless man.
| am frank to say there has been
more money spent in this admins
tration than was spent during Will
sons administration.
But l cite you to the $1,e19.-
900 spent for pensions for the ex-
| Confederate soldiers in McCreary's
term, and I ask Mr.. Morrow If he
regrets that? Also the money spent
on our schools, and we can hardly
spend too much money on our
schools, and / ask him IL he would
have conditions brought back to
the point at which they stood at
the beginning of the Democratic
administration"
Answers Textbook Argument
Answering the Textbook Commits
sion arguments, Gov. Black de-
clared that Mr. Morrow is not ac-
quainted with the difficulty of Sc
lecting schoolbooks.
THAT is a real job" he said.
He declared that Morrow took
the oil tax plank from the Demo-
cratic platform and used it, giving
the party no credit for its genesis.
but the fact that he borrows
from us is encouraging" the Gov
ernor declared.
1T shows he is not yet beyond
the pale of redemption that he Dor
rows some ideas from the Demo
Gratis"
Gov. Black told Paducah people
that he had dreams of tributary
school to the Agricultural College
of Kentucky University being built
here in the future.
Concluding, the Governor chal-
lenged Mr.. Morrow to state how he
stood on the League of Nations
81 am heart and soul for it, and my
party is for it," he declared.
The Governor was introduced by
County Judge Lang. Judge w. A
Berry and Harry F. Turner. Bal,
lard county, candidate for State
Treasurer, also spoke.
The Governor was applauded con
tinually.

SEED CORN In view of the
adverse growing conditions for
corn during 1919 in Kentucky
farmers having crops of high grade
cors should make liberal allow
ance for the probable demand for
seed corn in the coming spring by
saving as much of their corn fol
seed as, possible. In order that
! this corn may be in the best con.
dition in the spring, it should be
kept we'll ventilated which may be
accomplished by suspending the
ears from a wire in the shed or in
the attic. If the corn is thorough.

satisfactory in the spring. The
