FARMERS RUSH
FIELD WORK NOW
Favorable Weather Brings About
Unusual Activity To Catch Up
With Spring Work

With the advent of favorable wealth
er, farmers of Madison county, who
have been delayed in their work, rep
resent an army of busy men. Frank
Kausch, residing south of the city
was an early Visitor in Richmond
today and he summed up the situation
as follows: every man, boy and
horse available, are now in the field
and the ground is being turned over
as rapidly as possible. The recent
weather, in some sections of this as
well as other counties, has held the
work back, and it is now high time
the farmers were getting ready to
place the crops. With week of nice
weather, there will be an abundance
of work done in the country and there
will be a great showing made. "Mr
Rousch stated that there was an un-
usually large acreage to represent to-
bacco this year, despite the intima-
ton that this produce would not bring
such fancy prices next fall. "There is
no excuse for farmer to be in towr
today, said Mr. Rousch, "unless the
trip is necessary as mine was, for
had to get supplies for both the house
and field, but I am hurrying home
now in order not to leave any more
time than possible"

Indictments Expected
''5!t! In Willie Trimble Case

It is expected that the grand
jury investigation of the Willie
Trimble case will terminate in
indictments being returned not
later than tomorrow.
Willie Trimble has SO far re-
covered that he was moved from
the Danville hospital to his home.
He tells a confused story of his
abduction and, at different times
said that the negro hit him, that
the white boy, Horace Clifford
Phillips, hit him, and that fbuth
hit him. The child lis ] only ssfS
years old, and his youth, together
with the effects of the blow make
his stories unreliable, according
to authorities. He will be taken
before the grand jury tomorrow

TRUCKS GIVE GOOD
HAULING test

After 1unching in town about 2
o'clock Wednesday afternoon the
Lexington truck tourists gave a
very successful demonstration OF
the uses to which pneumatic tired
trucks can be put on the farm
They went out to the home Of Mr.
Charles Jett on the Big Hill pike,
and took two tons Of logs to
Bearwallow, and were back in
three hours, with a load of luil-
Der. The time consumed repre-
sents time in loading and unload
ing. In the test some very bad
dirt roads were traversed, as the
heavy rains of the past few days
had made the roads almost inn
passible.
Mr.. Jett was greatly pleased
with the result of the test. He
said that the men in charge of the
trucks demonstrated what car
really be done with them.
The trucks then went on the
Berea, where some of them were
kept over night, returning thrr
Richmond Thursday morning.

RICHMOND LURES
MANY FROM CITIES
Nine Out Of Ten Decide To STAY
and They Give Their Rea-
sens For 1t

While it may not be characteristic
OF other towns in Kentucky about
seven out of every eight newcomers,
are from cities, and, once here, they
seem to become "anchored". There
is a steady influx of representatives
OF all trades coming to Richmond, and
out Of five who have come here and
to work and were interviewed, none
has signifed his intention of leav
ing, although some Of them are ex-
pert mechanics and Ding more
arduous work out side of their trade.
Their own opinions of why they
selected Richmond, leaving the bright
lights of the cities, can best be told
by themselves, when they explain their
own personal reasons, for readers of
the Daily Register.
Frank Houscr, decorator-"I came
here few days ago, just to look
around. l came from Detroit.
am going on a farm and help raise
tobacco. l have had more fresh air
since | came here than | had in De-
troit buildings where l was shut up,
in years time. Think of it-me
working on farm! But I believe I
will like it, and I have saved money
and may be little landowner here
some day myself. 1 also have place
for my brother and / know that he
will not lose any time coming when
he gets that letter of mine. Young
Houser, who received about $3.50 per
day at work in Detroit, said that he
would have more money at the end of
a season here at half that amount of
wages, than he could have saved in
the city, and be "out in the OPEN.
He will go to the farm of Richard
Bentley, in the eastern part of Madi-
son county. "And, say, he asked
confidingly-"Do you suppose 1 will
be lucky enough to hit close to one of
those famous fishing streams 1 have
heard SO much about?"
Charles Shaftner, mechanic-"I
came to Richmond several weeks ago
and thought that one week would let
me out. l am still here and expect to
move my family here. am getting
more wages than the mechanics in
Cincinnati, and can breathe fresh
ozone all day long. Me for Rich
mond."
i John I. Blackwell, painter-'I have
peen busy ever since hit the place,
and one. who .,sas plenty of work here,
Fl think would rather be here than in
Z any Of the = cities and I have been in

Wellston Richey, laborer- Say,

me, but will stick until this work is
! 1 finished, when I will go to work at
. another job which has been promised
me. | wish these folks, who are SO
kind every other way, would build me
a nice house, and l would lose no time
in getting my family here"
James Harrington, machinist-
, "Say, can get much more money in
, the city at my trade than here doing
what 1 am now, but you live in a
place like this, and that counts for
much. The town just suits me and
the only way they can make me get
out is to cut off my work, which,
, think is very improbable"
