when they brought them up, began to
boost the prices.
The potatoes now on hand cost the

price last fall, and they are entitled to a
fair profit. Any man in Logan will grant
the Justice of this But when it comes to
charging such prices for potatoes as
prevail at this time it is nothing short of
outrageous. It cannot be justified by say
ing there are few potatoes, nor by stat
ing that man who takes risks is entitled
to remuneration. The men who bought
the potatoes last fall are simply taking
advantage Of an opportunity ito gouge
the public. And it is certainly about time
the public is given some kind of protec-
ton from such outrages.

GEORGE WASHINGTON LIVES TO-
DAY: A PRAYER FULFILLED

One hundred and thirty one years ago
George Washington was inaugurated as
President of the United States for his
first term. The ceremonial investment
of the new nations first citizen with the
honors and obligations Of its highest Of
flee occurred in the Senate chamber in
the city of New York. The oath of office
was administered by Robert r. Livings-
ton, the chancellor of the State of New
York. That gentleman. when, his solemn
part in the inauguration was completed
called out to the people in full, strong
voice:
'Long live George Washington, Presi-
dent of the United States"
The Father of his country survived in
the flesh, this historical occasion by half
a score of wears, but for century and
third his wisdom, his provision, his cour
age, his caution have endured to inspire
and to guide his fellow countrymen in
the direction of public affairs.
Through the mutations and chances of
unprecedented growth, through years in
which progress in the application to hu-
man purposes of natural laws produced
social and economic revolutions with be-
wildering frequency, the nation to whose
call Geo. Washington responded in 1889
as he had responded in ITS, has held
close to the chart of craftsmanship he
drafted for it.
Thus the hope and prayer of Chancel-
lor Livingston that George Washington,
President of the United States, should
live long has been granted, for he lives
today in his works, whose supreme value
and unimpaired strength have once more
been demonstrated in this the one hun
dred and forty-fourth year of American
independence
The republic continues the free and in
dependent nation George Washington
would have it, and his simple, wise. and
true teachings, animating people de-
voted to freedom, have stripped interna-
tionalism of its cloak of false pretense.-.

Noted Singer at
Baptist Church Sunday

Carson Taylor, baritone singer,
will give musical program at the
Baptist church Sunday morning at
10:45 to which the entire commun-
ity is invited. He is passing through
Mt. Sterling on his way to the .Soush-
ern Baptist Convention in Washing
ton. The morning hour Of the SER
vice will be given to him. His rep
ertoir consists of more than three
hundred songs which he sings from
memory. He asks the Mt. Sterling
people to come and call for their
favorite old hymns. DR.. Paul Bag
lev writes: ssBrother Carson Tay-
lor, the evangelist singer, was with
us at the Highland Baptist church
some Sunday evenings ago and de-
lighted and helped us with his sing
ing. He is most remarkable I'm his
familiarity with old hymns. There
was hardly one called out for him
to sing that he was not able to take
up at once. Tears came into the
peoples eyes as the hymns of their
childhood were sung for them again.
l think it was an uplift for my peo-
pie. 1t will prove so to any church
which can secure Bro. Taylor for
an evening of song. May God bless
him in this work of his" Come and
enjoy this hour of song. No even

rage said Mrs, Stewart. eve want
to select a bullet that will fly
straight to the mark. In this Bullitt
we have one that will fly straight
through the heart Of the Republican
party"
Harmony was the watchword OF
the convention and the much talked
of split failed to materialize. The
only differences occurred in the va
rious district meetings which were
quickly and satisfactorily adjusted.
The delegates at-large and the va
rious district delegates named rep
resent the pick of Kentucky man
hood and womanhood. Kentucky
Democrats are more closely united
than in years and will present a
solid front to the enemy at the polls
in November.
This was the first convention in
which women played an important
part and, although little timid at
the start, were quite prominent in
the proceedings and bid fair to play
an important role in National at
fairs in the future.

DR.. McVey Will Address
Farmers Union

Inc Farmers Union OF M0ntgom-
cry county will hold a public meet
ing at the Court House Saturday,
May Sth at 2 o'clock p. m. The pub
lie is cordially and urgently invited
to attend, both men and women. DIR.
Frank L. Mcvey, President Of the
University Of Kentucky, win speak
at 2 o'clock p. m. on the Farmers
Union. Don't fail to hear him. DIR.
McVey is one of the greatest orators
in the United States and will thrill
you with his eloquence. Not only is
DR.. McVey a great orator but a pro-
found philosopher as well. The far
mer or any one else who fails to hear
him will certainly miss a graf occa-
sion. The farmers surely have be-
fore them serious problems to solve.
Look at this one. Fat steers are
losing the farmer from twenty to
thirty dollars per head. At Wilson,
N. c., last week a tobacco confer
ence was held. Representatives
from all sections of the United
States were present. The word was
sent out that unless there was a con-
siderable reduction made in the ac-
reage of tobacco that the crop
would not bring the cost of produc-
ton. Now the facts are, that to-
bacco was never more scarce than
how The heavy rains last year in
North Carolina, Virginia and South
Carolina reduced the usual amount
of tobacco about twenty-five Z per
cent. Kentucky owing to the ex-
IRENE drought, produced a short
crop. Europe has produced no to-
bacco for five years. Therefore how
can there be a surplus of tobacco?
This cry for the curtaiIing of the
tobacco acreage is but the maturing
of plans for the tobacco trust to
get this crop of tobacco far below
the cost of production. Now while
cattle and tobacco are declining
rapidly in price, shoes, sugar, clothes
and farm implements are mounting
to almost prohibitive prices.
The Farmers Union of Virginia,
North Carolina and South Carolina
are renewing their strength and pre-
pairing to fight for a fair profit on
their tobacco. The Farmers Union
of the cotton belt has fired the price
of the present crop of cotton at six
ty cents per pound. The farmers of
Illinois have fixed a price on their
wool at from eighty cents to a dol
lar per pound. Now, we are Won
dering if the farmers of Montgomery
county and the Blue Grass belt will
submit to the tobacco trust and the
profteers, like a lamb before her
shearers, dumb?

Cost Of Good Roads n Clark
No Reason Why We Should Wait
By T. w. ADAMS

Sentiment in favor of taking the
sense Of the voters on the Coed
Roads issue grows daily.
Some folks have felt that the re-
cent Clark County contract figures
would make 1t seem advisable to
wait.
The fact is, that the Clark county
contracts involve $4,000 for extra
ordinary concrete, culvert work, a
long fill, a deep cut through solid
rock-making difference Of 5000
