FARM BUREAU DISCUSSES MAT.
TIERS OF INTEREST

Pursuant to call the members of
the Bourbon County Farm Bureau
met in the court house Saturday af-
ternOon, for the purpose of discuss
ing matters OF interest to the farra-
ers of the county. President Wal
ter Meng presided. There was
large attendance of repre- sentative
farmers of the county,, attracted by
the tobacco situation, which wa3
considered at another meeting held
at the same place.
The farmers took UP the matter
of labor on their farms, and the
rate of payment therefor. After
some discussion it was agreed by a
Unanimous vote to pay thirty-fve
cents a shock for cutting standing
corn, and forty cents a shock for
drilled and twisted corn. The
question of price for clover seed for
January delivery was brought up by
President Meng, who stated that
Christian county farmers had made
an offer of SIS bushel +. o. b. Paris,
for first clover seed. A list of those
wanting clover seed and the amount
each was willing to take wa:
, taken subject to further inquiry
and notification to the members.
Cotton seed meal was also discussed,
but no definite action taken. The
farmers said they could not pay the
present prices asked by corn cutters.
as corn is now selling on basis of
about half the market price of a
year ago. The county now has the
largest corn crop in its history.

court house in this city Saturday at

DEMOCRATIC WOMEN SHOULD
REGISTER AND VOTE

Reports from a number of
States where women have lust secur-
ed the ballot indicate that the reg
istratiln of women will not be
nearly as large as that of men. It is
doubtful if the total registration of
wome n in the States where they have
previously voted has been equal TO
that of men.
There is large body of women
who have always been Indifferent
whether they had the suffrage or
rot. The privilege meant nothing
70 them. They would have no OBJ
lection TO passing the buck of gov
eminent over to the men, and letting
them take the bother of it.
The franchise is not to be looked
al as q mere optional privilege. The
those who take their orders fror,
special interests and private organi-
zatiCns, will all be rallied to the
polls. Don't think for minute
that the colored woman will be alb
sent from the polls.
The lower classes of politicians
will make a speciality of rallying
Paris women from the elements
which they influence. They are skill
fuI in personal appeals. They will
approach women voters cleverly, and
will appeal to class feeling preju-
dice. They will approach a newly
enfranchised women with every ap-
peance of candor and public spirit
and desire to serve all good causes,
when their real purposes may be of
the most selfish, Sorbid character.
The woman who reads and thinks
must feel it their sacred duty to ex-
press their convictions through the
political process to which they are
Eow every where admitted Their
clear thinking can expect the
vaccinations of selfish interests, if
they will give the subject attention
and put time and effort into it,.
Every intelligent and thinking wo-
man should he urged to register and
cast her ballot, and join in the cont
mon effort to improve political
methods.
