OUR MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Hartford Republican comes to
it's patrons with it's first issue of
the New Year, unGer some handicap.
Early in the week we had break
down OF our linotype and had to
telegraph to Chicago for repairs.
The delay in receiving the part want
ed resulted in a lesser volume of To-
cal news. and in the absence of some
of our usual features. However, we
are oiled and running again, and If
industry and experience count for
anything we shall give our readers n
better paper this year than last. The
liberal patronage given this paper
the last year demonstrates that
our efforts to make clean and
readable publication has been appre-
ciated, and this confidence inspires
us to greater effort TO please. With
hearts warm with gratitude for the
splendid support given us In our eff
fort to make a first class newspaper
we turn to the task of the new year
with renewed energy and determine
tion to produce a newspaper that will
command the continued respect, con-
fidence and interest of our patrons.
We shall at an early date announce
an entirely new feature of local news
that will excite and hold the interest
of our readers feature that, so
far as we know, has not been under
taken by any local newspaper in
Kentucky.

OUR FARMER CRITIC.

In the fall of 1917 we advised the
farmers to hold their tobacco for bet
ter prices on "a later market. In
October 1918 we suggested to tobac-
co growers the ACCESSIBILITY of selling
on an early market, II they could do
so at prices near those of last season.
Just after the appearance of our adj
vice to sell on an early market. we
received the following Sarcastic let
ter from an Ohio county farmer, who
evidently assumed our ignorance of
tobacco market conditions. or that we
we're I'm league with the tobacco mer-
chants.
Hartford. Ky. Nov 10, 1918.
Editor Republican,
Hartford. Ky.
Dear Sir We have been advised
60 sell our tobacco as early as posi-
bit this year. on account of the war
being over We can understand
the reason for this. unless II is be-
cause the seas now being open TO
shipping. and all the European coun-
tries, especially Germany. Austria,
hungary, Bulgaria. Russia. France,
belgium. Italy, Turkey and Greece,
having raised an enormous crop for
the past four years. are now going
TO flood the markets of the world
with tobacco We suppose this is the
reason. and we wish YOU would pub
lish this to let the farmers know
why tobacco is goins to be so low
aud everything else tin be so high.
Yours Truly,
A FARMER.
We lay no claims to gifts of prophe-
sy. but out of an acquaintance with
some number of business men of the
state we are in position to get some
information not generally available to
our farmer friends who are tobacco
growers. and 1t has been our earnest
purpose to pass this information "a
Republican aspires to command the
respect and confidence of its readers
and is wise enough 10 know II can dc
so only by dealing with them honest
~. lts opinions may sometimes be
faulty, but they shall at all times he
frankly expressed. At least in ouI
advice to the tobacco growers, foI
the two seasons mentioned, events
have justified our advice. The truth
may ut times be unpalatable but the
responsible newspaper states the facts
as II finds them. When the letter
reproduced above was received we
were as sure as we are now that to
bacco would sell at lower price
than IL sold last year. and we filed II
away with the express purpose OF
publishing -ft-atter events had justifi

JUST A LAY SERMON
ON OUR HOME TOWN
Let Us Make Hartford The
Prettiest Town In
Kentucky.

3 Our town may be the clean, sp' L
less, sanitary, and a thing of beauty,
or Il may wither and decay through
neglect and indifference. 1t may be
CARRIED in the beauties Of the handi-
craft of man, or 1t may drift along
in tatters and obscurity. l. may
compel the admiration of other peo-
pie and draw them to our fold, or 1t
may be a place to be seen and
Stunned or forgotten. II is for Us
to say. for us to write the verdict oil
our future.
The birth of a wen year should
see the dawn Of new orCer OF
things in Hartford. II should see
every man and every woman striving
to make il the brightest and most
attractive place in this section Of the
State. II should see us striving
with might and determination y con
vert a pleasant country town into
garden spot of beauty, with health
happiness and prosperity as the heri-
tage of our daily life.
Business property could be inn
proved with little expense, fresh paint
would do wonders and neatly arrang-
ed window displays in commercial
business houses would add hundred
per cent to their appearance.
Broken sidewalks could well b. re
placed and new ones added where
needed, and some time could be spent
to advantage on the streets in many
sections of the town.
In some places the fences and
z yards are well-kept and present an
attractive appearance. But there
should be more of them. Every
place should be in the artistic cas-
and then other people would talk
aud the talk would all be to our
credit. Tongues were made for Use
and people will use them when we
are the subject of conversation.
We might give the town a general
overhauling in every way this spring
and shove ii right up to the head of
the class. If there are not sufficient
funds in the treasury to do these
things of public nature. we
still have hands and willing hearts,
and every man could declare a
business holiday occasionally ard
turn out and rake this old burg
from end to end. Personally "
consider few days spent thu
quite lark - something for a
holiday, and we don't for one minute
think we are more liberal or open
minded than the rest OF our citizens
And while we are in the hustlinl
mood we might find vacant buildinl
and convert il into rest and read
ing room for our friends from thu
farm when they come to town. W.
might use it for gathering place FOL
7 Y t,ownspeople, where we can NEE
Wis and while away an occasional
pieasant hour. But especially do W.
need something of the kind for thu
conEenience of the farmers and theiI
S,Sives and daughters and sons wheI
ley are with us. The town that APP
pfeciates and provides for the con
veniencs of the farmer is on the higl
road tc success and prosperity. Lett
be that own in 1919!

GOOD SCALY LEG TREATMENT
,,:p Affected Parts In Crude Oil or
Kerosene--One Submersion 10
Usually Sufficient.

Scaly leg is caused by small mite
which burrows underneath the scales
Of the legs, where it feeds and lays
it's minute eggs. The legs become so
sore at times that fowls are unable to
scratch for food or set on the roost.
The treatment consists Of dipping
the legs in crude oil. If not conven-
lent pure kerosene may be used. Dip
early enough so that the oil will dry
before the fowls go on the roost, and
be careful that the oil does not get
on the feathers. One treatment Is
usually sufficient. but If the old scales
have not peeled off after 80 days 1t
should be repeated.

ket eggs for S20.O7. making total In
come from his small flock of $54.S0.
The cost of feeding the flock during
this time was S21.40, which leaves q
net return of $3.50.
This record is by no means excep-
tional, as, with the coming of the poul-
try club and with the development Of
enthusiasm among it's members, egg
producing as well as flock income re-
turns, has greatly increased in every
section.
Properly developed and fostered,
poultry Is one of the most profitable
side-lines in which most farmers can

there is hardly any activity Of modern
farming which will pay better than the
maintenance and production of good
poultry.
