is the corn crop, growing right up t.
the mark, the bluegrass harvest al
most over, the tobacco practically all
in the ground with good prospects,
the wheat harvest on, and the fruit
season at hand, together with the hay
ing season, and the price of the pro-
duct. say again, the farmer is sure
ly a busy and happy man. Mr..
Stone soliloquized, 81 see they are
paying more attention to clover hay,
and this is a capital idea"

JOY RIDES ARE PAST;

''Put about five gallons in the tank,

stead of buying all for the auto. There

gasoline is being used, and the guam
tity being utilized in driving machin-
cry on the farm is remarkable to one
who gives it more than casual atten-

are taking the place of workmen and
are said to be in great demand, ow-
ing to the fact that farm labor, as
well as other kinds, was never scarcer
than at present. Dealers are aware
of the fact that the famer is cutting
down his JOY riding and turning his
attention to "farm riding" as he

that he found it vastly more profit

ADEQUATE WATER
SUPPLY FOR BEREA
Immense Lake and Water Tower
10 Be Constructed By the
College There

Berea College, already in the water
supply business, as we'll as other
branches of industry, is preparing to
60 into the matter Of dealing with va
ter on more extensive scale, and
when the contemplated improvements
have been finished, they will repre-
sent an outlay of approximately
100000, according to an estimate
given out.
1t is with the intention of me It
ing the demand for additional water
upon part of the increasing popula-
tion and the growth of the city that
the college expects to establish
great lake taking the place Of the one
constructed some years ago for the
purpose Of furnishing water for the
city. The progress of Berea makes
the movement imperative it is said,
and the college, ever on the alert to
promote interests Of the city, is not
backward in furnishing the neces-
sary aid along this and other lines.
The capacity of the lake is not given
out, a local contractor stating that
he would not hazard a guess as to its
approximate capacity. However, he
declared it would be one of the most
attractive and extensive improve
ments in the way of an artificial wa
ter supply reservoir to be found in
the country. The details of the work
have not been completed, but it is
known that the proposition will soon
reach a stage where bids for contract
work will be due.
This is but one of the factors fig
uring in the water Improvement ser
vice at Berea, since preparations
have been almost completed for the
erection of an immense water tower
for fire protection in the city and Vi
cinity. The material for portion of
this is now awaited, and this improve
ment will doubtless be realized with
il a short time. The present service
| is said to be sadly inadequate and
the city continues to grow.

COAL FIELDS SCENES
OF Great ACTIVITY
General Belief Is That More Fuel
Than For Years, Is To BE
Mined Soon

There are many who are in a posi-
ton who verify believe there will be
a general resumption in many Of the
coal mines in Eastern Kentucky, and
this fuel will be produced in greater
quantities than for number of years.
This will be good news to the deal
er, as well as the consumer, since the
former state they would prefer the
old business with the old prices, and
it is known that the consumer would
be glad to have any reduction what
ever. There are scenes of activity
in fields which have been practically
abandoned since before the war, it is
reported from various sources, and
there has been a great deal accom-
plished when the work of eliminating
the wage trouble is considered.
The Beaver creek field is given as
one of the new locations where work
has been greatly stimulated within the
past two weeks. Operators believe the
state of affairs is being settled since
the war, and the conditions are i'm
proving steadily. The Diamond an6
Blkholn fields are said to be very &c
Give, while there are a number of IN
vestors who are preparing to oper
new mines in some localities and en-
large on the operations of the ol6
ones. There are number of change;
being made, some Of the oldest ant
best properties being taken over bl
new companies whose intention, it is
known, is to operate the mines ful
capacity Many of the older conlpanie:
are increasing their capital stock ans
adding every available man to The
working force, getting the mines il
condition for a general resumption
of operations.
