"LET US GET TOGETHER"

LET US GET TOGE HER.
In the last few years there has
been much Improvement in Rock
castle. But we were so far be-
hind that we must put in extra
time in order to catch up and be
abreast of other towns and coun-
ties. Rockcastle ought to have
right now the best roads in the
state because the best material
out of which roads are built is
found In abundance right here.
Instead of having fields of briar
patches we should have show
farms, because Ill the western and
northern parts of our county lays
well and can be made most fertile
and productive. Too much of our
land has been idle and the other
has been poorly cultivated. But,
with the coming Of coed roads
and the advent of better prices
for farm products, the cultivation
of our land has increased with
splendid financial results. The
farmers are just beginning 10
wake up and see the wonderful
possibilities in the farm. They
are improving their homes and
putting in" many conveniences
to save labor and drudgery.
They are getting the most i'm.
proved machinery and installing
the best grade of stock. In other
counties the farmers uni,e in an
association and through that or
ganization buy the best thorough
bred sires obtainable. This plan
has proven most helpful and sue
cessful. Why could it not lie
done IN Rockcastle? 1t can be
and should be done. 1t is appar-
emit that the farmers of this coun-
ty do not yet fully realize the
necessity and benefi is of co ,oper-
alton and organization. We are
sadly in need of more men who
are willing to serve in a broader
capacity. Who not only can till
their own farms in a modern
way, but who for the benefit of
themselves as we'll as others, can
start the ban of cooperation roll
ing. We have just had a teach
er's institute, which was school
TOR farmers, but our people did
not fully comprehend the great
benefits to be derived from regu-
lar attendance upon its sessions.
Too few were present and entirely
too many of our farmers were
absent. Let those who know
preach the benefits of such an In.
stitute, for 1t is to be greatly
hoped that next year we will
have another. In the meantime.
let US all cease so much Sleep
ing. Arouse ourselves to the
needs OF opportunities of the day.
May We determine to urge and
fight for better roads; more in
tensive and intelligent farming;
larger attendance at schools and
more efficient teachers. The
time has arrived when we must
be up and doing-help ourselves
and advance others. Stop right
now and ask yourself the ques-
tion-what am l doing to help
make my community better and
more prosperous? If your ans
wer is NOTHING, then bestir
yourselves and do something.
Let your daily admonition to self
be: Do something's do something,
do something. and repeat it every
day.

MINEOLA, L. l., March 1.-THE full
quota of B. R. 7. attorneys leaped to
their feet in protest at to days ses-
sion of the wreck trial here when Dis
trict Attorney Harry E. Lewis sought
TO show that at the outbreak Of the
motormen's strike last November a
contingent OF unskiled men was rushed
into service by tha company.
General conditions, the b. r. T.
lawyers argued, had nothing to do with
the specific guilt or innocence of Divi-
sion Superintendent Thomas f. Blewitt,
the defendant now under trial on man
slaughter charges. Blewitt, they de-
clared, is accused of criminal ncgli-
gence as a result of the Malbone Street
tunnel smash-up, wherein ninety-t two
lives were lost. For the prosecution
to show that Blewitt hired an incom-
petent man to drive the particular train
that came to grief was, therefore, they
conceded permissible. But to 90 be-
yond that into any consideration of
