= Hessian Fly Started II.
The Hessian fly may be said to have
started it all. It's depredations were
such that it was necessary to SOW
wheat so late that the Hessian fly
would not ruin 1t and yet early enough
that It would get a start before very
cold weather. The department OF
agriculture undertook to establish a
system of planting dates for every Sec
tion of the United States in which
wheat is grown. 1t was not possible
to make Investigations in every field
to determine the right time for plant
ing. What had to be done was to es-
tablish one correct time and work out
the others from It. The rule was laid
down that the season, in general, va
ries four days for each degree Of lat
itude, degrees of longitude, and 4OC
feet Of altitude. That is perfect
ly good, workable rule. A disk calen-
dar and other mechanical devices have
been got out to aid the farmer In ap-
plying it. BY 1t any farmer can deter
mine about what time he should SOW
his wheat. But he cannot determine
the exact time. And 1t would work
out the same way for planting an!
other crop. No two seasons are JUS,
the same. The date that is right this
year may not be right next year.
But II, on the day that was right for
planting cotton this year. the locust
trees were just coming into bloom. the
probability In that the right day next

The sensation of the year in the
drug trade is Aspironal, the two

thoritatively guaranteed by the labora-
tories; tested, approved and most
enthusiastically endorsed by the high
est authorities, and proclaimed by
the common people as ten times as
quick and effective as whiskey, rock
and rye, or any other cold and cough
remedy they have ever tried.
All drug stores are now supplied
with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do to get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for bottle
of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream

PALMER URGES
Tells People Public Must
Stand Firm And Win
Fight

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-Attot-
ney General Palmer has called upon
the American peopleto "refuse to
be stampeded by threats of lack of
coal into concessions which will in
sure unreasOnably high prices in all
commodities for at least three years
to come"
A statemept of the government S
attitude was made by the Attorney
General in a telegram to the Cham
Der of Commerce at Moberly Mo,
from which had come a request that
another conference of operators and
miners be called
Mr.. Palmer opposed further con-
ferences, saying wage increases pro
posed by DR.. Garfield equalized the
average miners wages with the pres
ent high cost of living without III
creasing the price Of coal. This, he
said, was fair to the miners and pro-
tected the public.
The cost of living is now at the
high point" Mr.. Palmer said. ITO
grant the demands of the miners
would make the cost of living still
higher The new wage conference
would run three winters and, there
fore, would maintain a higher cost of
living for substantially three years.
Such situation cannot be tolerated.
''Tn addition to this, DR.. Garfield
suggested consultative body to in.
vestigate more completely the whole
situation, to be composed of repre-
sentatives in equal number of the
miners and operators, and to be pre-
sided over by the Secretary of the
Interior. Such body would investl-
gate, among other things, the profits
of the operators. If these should be
found to be unreasonably high, the
public should receive the benefit in a
decreased price of coal, after the min
ers have had their wages finally ad-
iusted on a fair basis. ] understand
this plan is acceptable to the oper-
ators If the miners return to work
and agree to this plan way would
be Immediately open for permanent
settlement.
"In the meantime, however, the
operators have posted the advance
in wages proposed by Dr. Garfield, so
that working miners will Immediately
receive the benefit of this increase.
The production of coal now closely
approximates SO per cent of normal
and have confidence that sufficient
number of miners will comply with
the wishes of their government and
respond to the needs of the people to
increase this production in the near
future to a point which will supply
the demand if economy and conser-
vation in industry are employed.
"Any other plan to reopen nego-
tiations for a new wage scale be-
tween the miners and operators
would be futile and would delay rath-
er than advance production. AS long
as the leaders of the miners organi-
cations believe that their unlawful

Consideration of the contemplated
extensions and improvements in our
service, which we have in mind has
resulted in slight delay in getting
out our July bills.
In order that we may be enabled
to carry through these plans with all
possible dispatch it is necessary that
our customers for their part give
propmt attention to the payment of
their accounts, which will be rem
dered within few days.
We wish particularly to call at
tention to delinquent accounts,
which we hardly feel justified in
carrying further.
1t is our firm belief that with the
cooperation of the public we can de-
velop a service which will be a de-
cided improvement even over that
which we have heretofore been able
to furnish.

FATHER DEMANDS INVESTIGA.
TON INTO DEATH OF SON.

A thorough investigation into the
circumstances surrounding the death
of his son, Jos. w. Murray, overseas
soldier, found drowned in the bath
ing pool in the Covington Y. M. C..
A, has been demanded by his father,
Mr.. Thos. ]. Murray, formerly of
Paris. Mr.. Murray is not entirely
satisfied with the supposition that
his son struck his head against the
side or the bottom of the pool when
he dived into the water.
Mr.. Murray makes no charges, but
explained that he merely wanted a
judicial inquiry made, as he thought
there might have been foul play in
some manner. Coroner Stephens, of
Covington, stated that none of the
Y. M. c. A. officials could throw any
light on the affair, as they could not
inform him definitely when young
Murray went into the pool, there be-
ing no one present at the time. How
long his body was in the water, the
Coroner stated no one could say
Young Murray, was well-known here
having been frequent visitor at the
home of his relatives, Mr.. and Mrs
Barney Brannon, and others.

not account for the bruises found or
