Must Cut Weeds Along High
ways, Say Local Authorities

The law calls for the cutting of
weeds along the public highways
at this time. and while much of
the territory shows the results of
the scythe, there is much yet un-
disturbed. and the attention of the
authorities has been called to the
fact. Some of the weed cutting
took place at an early period.
while there are many men at
work now in other localities,
however. there are localities
where the weeds have not been
molested and this is the territory
to be given attention.

BURLEY DELEGATES HOLD
BIG MEETING AT LEXINGTON

The meeting of the Burley Tobacco
Growers Association delegates at
Lexington developed the completion
of the organization for the protection
of the tobacco interests, and there
were a number of interesting reports
made besides the ratification of the
former actions when the constitution
was drawn up. There was a liberal
representation from Ohio, as well as
Indiana, and the meeting was pro-
ductive of the finishing touches which
will mark the organization of a
strong force of producers who will
attempt to have a say in the govern
ing of the retail price, as well as
looking after the numerous other i'm
portant points dealing with tobacco
production.
While Madison county is not rep
resented in the organization, it may
be that such step will be taken la
ter and that this, one of the most
important counties in tie state, will
become affiliated. There are no meet
ings booked for Madison county
growers as yet

Richmond carpenters, who have
been busy since the early spring,
are still busy and bees and report
the building boom, which has
been i'll evidence throughout the
spring and summer, is not lacking
at present, and all expect to con-
Itinue to be busy until the cold
weather drives them in. Even
then, several of them state, they
will have sufficient inside work to
keep them busy during the entire
winter, and it Is known that with
the advent of spring, there will be
d rush of work
Richmond carpenters are max
ing good wages, and none are
leaving for the cities where there
are reports of unusual wages be-
ing paid. Most of the men are
receiving from S. to So and 50 per
day. while the overseers are re-
.ceiving as high as SIS per day.
One of the latter stated. when
asked regarding the wages paid.
that the men were receiving bet
ter wages accordingly than in the
city, since they were able to be
at home, and this represented a
great saving.
Many contractors. instead of
liking an amount in bidding on a
Job, arrange with the builder to
provide the workmen at certain
wages for himself, and superin-
tend the work until finished. This
Is proving very satisfactory
way in that all are working for
wages and the lump sum usually
representing a certified contract
price which is generally more or
less puzzling and chance taking,
is eliminated.
Brick masons and painters are
receiving a comparative wage.
masons getting from $40 TO S12 a

mason in Richmond who is known
as one of the best to be had, who
has not failed to place $50 per

MOBILIZATION TO
PUT STOP To GRAFT
Spurious Tales Told To Secure
Money From Parents of Sol
diers, Soon To Be Ended

Madison county has been fortunate
in the way of evading many of the
swindlers, some representing them
selves to be ex-service men who fer
ret out distracted parents, then prey
upon their sympathy for aid. The
movement is becoming nationwide
in an effort to eliminate this nefari-
Gus business, and according to reports
from various parts of the country,
several have come to grief. There
are numerous schemes whereby the
sorrowing relative is defrauded out
OF money. In Cincinnati few days
ago distracted mother gave a for
mer soldier money with which to get
to his home, he stating he knew her
son and fought by his side in France,
and, in fact, he was taken in by tire
family, who gave them the best they
had.
American Legion posts have been
w armed to keep an eyes open for
these swindlers with view to their
arrest and prosecution and a personal
"oihihS " IGldIINGS VI HlGH WHO OIeu
in service is planned for every COM
;munity where there is a post of the
legion.
One of the most glaring cases un-
covered is that of the swindler who
wrote grieving mother that her son
was in Cleveland and would return if
money for his railroad fare were pro-
vided. This hoax was exposed and
later the writer arrested in Iowa af-
ter he had sent the mother a tele-
asking for $25.
Another swindler provided false in
formation about the deaths of sold
iers, claiming in each case to have
been eye witnesses on the scene. This
man is now being sought by the po-
lice in aClifornia at the instigation of
the legion. A third confidence man
obtained from gold star mother
expenses for a trip to Washington
where, he said, he would locate the
grave of her son. He even went so
far ats to tell her later that he found
the grave and the body would soon
be brought home. !

SAYS S2,OO0,OOO is
ENOUGH FOR FUND

Chicago, Sept. 1.-George White,
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee today told the senatorial
campaign investigating committee he
thought a $2,000,000 fund for nation
al committee purposes would provide
for an adequate presidential cam
paign this year. He was careful to
say this was his personal opinion and
had not yet appointed campaign
fund committee. He said he inteded
to do it this week, but was delayed
by the necessity of having to appear
at this hearing. Neither had the bud
get been made up, he said.
White said he had no evidence to
sustain any charge made by Cox as
to the republican campaign funds and
quotas. He said he believed TIE
charges were true, because he had
confidence in Cox, but had not dis
cussed them in detail with the gov
ernor, and had brought nothing with
him to aid the committee in sitting
the charges.
He said he talked with Cox for a
few minutes last Sunday, and asked
the governor if ne was sure of his
ground. Mr. Cox said he was, "and
told him." said White, you are the
boss and you run it. "
Under question White said he knew
of no ''sinister influence" backing the
republican party except the republi-
can year book being published by
William Barnes.
