MISS JESSIE BURIAL
PLEASES AUDIENCE
Noted Worker Illustrates Manner
In Which Work of Humanity
Is Being Done

The churches of Richmond Joined
in union prayer service at the First
Baptist church last evening which
proved to be one of unusual power
and spiritual uplift
After q brief devotional service the
pastor introduced Miss Jessie L. Bur
rail-, fthe National Geographical
Society, Washington, who is here de
livering a series of lectures at the
Eastern Normal School
Miss Burrall's subject was: "Chris-
tianity in Action" and as a practical
illustration of her theme She gave an
account of the way in which her Sun
day school class of 500 girls had been
built up in the Calvary Baptist
church, Washington. She told of some
Of the opposition she net from some
of the most prominent members of
the church when it was proposed that
a class be organized to take care of
the young ladies in Washington, es-
pecially those who had come to the
city to do war work. But with a wo-
mans pluck, patience and persistence
the class was organized with six
young ladies, and although only two
and half years old the class has
grown to 1,500. The story of the
growth of this class was thrilling
from beginning to end. She said th2t
the girls came, to use her own words
because we liked them"
Miss Burial told many interest
ing stories of the religious experience
of the members of her class, many Of
whom have been baptized and received
into the churches of the city. Seven
teen denominations belong to the
class and while Miss Burial is q
Baptist she always encourages the
young ladies to join the church Of
their choice, preferably the one to
which their parents Belong.
The history of the class organiza-
ton was most interesting. The city
is divided into twelve sections o.:
groups and a captain is appointed over
each group. Strangers, absentees and
the sick are looked after with sympa-
thetic care and loving devotion. Miss
Burial gave testimony to the re-
markabie statement that there never
was a time in the history of our
country when there was such hun
gering for real spiritual values and
when people responded more readily
to religious effort of the right sort.
Miss Burial is a speaker of unus-
ual force and all her utterances are
characterized by sincerely and a
spiritual fervor which brings the mes
sages to the heart of her hearers.
She assured her audience that the
same methods would produce marvel
Gus results in the churches of Rich
mond.

COLORED REPUBLICAN
MAY RUN FOR JAILER
Brutus Chenault Reported To Be
Urged By Friends To Demand
Recognition From Party

Considerable interest was injected
into local politics this week, when the
statement was made by friends of
Brutus Chenault, well known colored
Republican leader, that they intend to
run him for the Republican nomina-
ton for jailer of Madison county at
the county election next year.
Chenault has been leading work
er among his race for his party for
many years, and has never received
any honors at its hands, and it is un-
derstood that his friends are saying
that it is time that his and their work
be recognized with something sub
stantal. Chenault is understood to
have the matter under serious consid-
GRAFTON, but prominent white Repub-
Iicans are authority for the announce
ment that he may make the race for
the Office If he does, it will be the
first time in all probability that a col
ored man ever offered for public Of
flee in Madison county.
Brutus Chenault is not only hard
worker for his party at election time,
but is a good speaker. There are said
to be mighty few better stump ora
tors that he has been for the Repub
lican party around election times. He
and his friends are said to feel that
his years of work for his party are
due to the recognition that he may
ask from it, and which it said to be
the first he has ever sought.

MADISON WHEAT
PRICE ESTABLISHED
Farmers Receiving $2.65 a Bushel
-Threshers Getting Quarter
Bushei This Year

Madison county farmers are receiv-
ing S2.65 per bushel for their wheat
and the threshers are charging 25
cents per bushel for threshing. This
is the first time in many, many years
that wheat has retailed at that price,
farmers say, and perhaps the first
time threshers have received quarter
bushel for threshing, all of which
tends towards illustrating the high
prices prevailing at present.
Wheat is coming in fast now, and
The yield is good. Mr.. Earrings price
is 80 cents more per bushel than was
paid last year Many Madison wheat
growers haven't sent their wheat to
market as yet, but it is making about
p bushels per acre on the average,
and the quality is good
Mr.. Earring says that the whole
question of wheat price is that of
railroad transportation. If mills in
certain isolated sections can get wheat
when they need it, the market will re
main about where it is now, he thinks
But if some millers, who are not in
wheat growing sections, have to go
out and bid for it, the market is go
ing up. He hardly thinks that the
Kansas prediction Of $4 wheat is at
all probable.
Threshing. which has been held W
Ct, account pf tho ,.,ipc -, q,
very extensively this week, and thou
sands Of bushels are being delivered
at the mills. The work, which threat
ened to be hampered by scarcity OF
men for some time, resulting in tho
pooling Of labor" as some /of the
farmers term it, and work has beer
progressing steadily. This gives eacl
an opportunity to have his threshinP
done according to contract, the eX-
change of hands from one farm to
another being more extensively in ev-
dence this year than ever before. II
is believed that with favorable wea-
ther, the early threshing will bS fin
ished next week.
Most Il the product from Madison
county is graded and registered a.
No. 2, while there is some No. l
wheat to be found. The acreage, which |
is below normal, as well us the pro
duction, shows a fine quality gener-
ally. The Earring mills dire recipient
o. q great quantity of wheat from
the local fields these days. The haul |
ing. which began heavy last week
was checked on account of the rain,
but has been renewed. Those dispOs
ing of a part of their wheat, which
has been classed as No 2, are as
folicws: w II. Parks, Long & Mil
lion, James Neale, Taylor Bogle, c.
F. Cheuault and Willis Thompson.
The condition of oats and prospects
for a favorable crop are said to be
better than wheat, since the grain is
ripeling TO such an extent that the
oats will be ready to harvest as soon
as the wheat can be disposed of. Oats
is reported as being of very good
quality, and the quantity is said to
be- greater than usual this year.

DENY FARMERS ARE
HOLDING WHEAT
Jeff Morgan and Others Answer
Charge Made By Ballard
Mill Manager

Louisville, KY, July 15.-Emphat-
ic denial by State and County Farm
Bureau officials and by farmers of
statements made at the Ballard and
Ballard Mills that farmers are holding
wheat for So bushel, forcing up the
price of flour, were answered yester-
day by S. Thurston Ballad, president
of the mill, who mildly reiterated the
charge.
Mr.. Ballard decalred the general
impression among mills is that the
present price of flour will be main
tanned until the middle of August OF
September, but that the price should
be lower then.
The controversy began on Tuesday
when the Ballard officials announced
an increase of 60 cents barrel in
the retail price of flour, raising the
price from $14 to $1460.
Speaking for the Ballard mills, John
K. Mcdowell, sales manager, de-
clared that the farmers have com
bined to keep wheat prices up, and
seek to force price of So a bushel.
Mr.. McDowalPs statement brought
denial yesterday from Godfrey Nor
gan, secretary of the Kentucky Farm
Bureau Fedeation; F. E. Merriman,
Jefferson county federal farm agent,
and Edward S. Monohan, Jr., of St
Matthews, farmer
Each declared that charges, or in
sinuation, that farmers of jefferson
county have combined to maintain
prices, or have pooled their grain in
any form, are untrue.
Last night, Mr.. Ballard, prefacing
his statement by saying that Mr. Nc
Dowall's charge was misleading"
insisted that farmers throughout the
country "seem disposed to hold bacl
their wheat, and are striving to get as
high price as possible"
Mr.. Ballard said the real reason for
the unexpectedly high price of new
cash wheat is that spectators for ex-
port, caught short with orders, otter
paid as much as $31O a bushel to fill
the contracts.
Mr.. Ballard said the Ballard mill is
paying $2.65 a bushel and that some
farmers have refused that price. 9th
ers, also refusing that price, have
stored their wheat at the Ballard mill,
paying a storage fee of cents
bushel month, he said
Mr.. Monohan, who tills 400 acres.
denied that farmers in
Jefferson county have combined, OF
entered into pool to hold wheat, and
that neither he nor other farmers are
getting So a bushel
He declared he sold wheat Tuesday
to the Ballard mill at $265, and that
other farmers in the county have
been paid only $2.65 for their grain.
"At that, we are doing better than
some farmers in Indiana, who are
getting only $3.50 bushe1,' Mono
han said.
Secretary Morgan, of the Farm Bu-
reau, declared farm bureaus have been
in A counties in the state,
and that nowhere in Kentucky has
any combination or pool of farmers
to hold wheat been formed.
'There is no combine OF pool of any
sort in this state on wheat and farm
ers are not trying to fix prices. They
ask only fair price, determined by
the market at the time they offer
their grain for SALE" he said.
