THE PASSING OF HAND LABOR

Modern business, or rather the
manufacturing business, has long
realized that volume Of business and
profit depend to q great extent upon
saving labor whenever possible, and
particularly upon replacing hand la
Dor with machine labor where a ma
chine can perfor the labor better and
more quickly.
The same change is placing farm
ing upon a better business basis. For
years, of course, field work has been
done largely by machinery. Other
wise Amerca's tremendous agricultu-
ral production would have been inn
possible. And now this same increase
in operating efficiency is spreading to
the doing c. the lesser work on the
farm. Chores have always been a
burden. They have faced the farmer
or his boy twice day, once before
and once after the regular days
work. They have meant grinding
dludgery. And their worst feature has
been that they had to be done almost
exclusively by hand.
With the coming of .eseetsicity to
the farm through the medium of the

this condition has been greatly
changed. Thousands OF farms in
America today ore entirely free from
tiresome part of chOre work. Before
dawn in the morning there is plenty
Of bright electric light in the barns
while the milking is going on. And
the milking itself is not done by hand,
slowly and labOriously as before, but
by small electric motor. One man
can easily do the work that took two
or three before. The separating and
the churning are done in the same
way. And son with the grindstone, the
corn shelter, the tanning mill and the
other light farm machinery. Where
two men worked before, one of them
always turning the crank, now one
man feeds the machine-bosses the
job-and the electric motor, does the
work. and pumping, one of the big
gest jobs on the farm, is now done by
an electric pump that entirely auto
matte.
In the house the same labor-saving
is seen, only in this case it is the
farm women who benefit. Wash day
is ROW 2 thing Of electric machines
and irons instead of the old-fashion-
ed way of bending over tub all
day. Sweeping is done better and
quicker with electricity

DEMOCRACY'S CHOICE

The democrats of the Eighth
Congressional District will, on
Saturday, August 9Th, nominate
candidate f7r Congress. They
have two important features to
consider in the man they shall Sc
lect-the best iaaE qualified tor
the Office and then a man l"lio can
win. OF all the fonr entries INTO
that race, Judge Ralph Gilbert, OF
Shelby county, IS, in our opinion,
the best qualified for the position
and should be our nominee. lie
is vigorous young man anc has
already made a success or his lite,
and those who know him best adj
mire him most. His Shelby
county friends point out the fact
that if liability is necessary IN
a candidate, he is the man, a he
comes from a part of the district
which is largely democratic. If
capability is to be considered, he
again is the man, for he IS gener-
ally conceded to be not only dn-
usually intelligent, but an honest,
clean thinking and acting gentle
man. We feel he is capable in
every way of meeting the prob
lens of reconstructive legislation
vet before us to be solved. If the
democrats would be sure to win,
Judge Gilbert should be nomin-
ated. We believe he will be
nominated. We. believe he will
be elected and when he is, the
Eighth district will have repre-
sentative who will be credit not
only to it but to the entire state.

he considered to be the last man
in that county Is this not a
STRAW that shows which way the
political wind is blowing ?"
It's not surprising that Gilbert
is leading in the race. The demo
Gratis of the Eighth district are as
alert and intelligent as any like
body of men in this entire coun-
try. Like the democrats of Shell
by county, they know Gilbert is
capable and honest They know
he can be depended upon to repre-
sent their interests faithfully and
intelligently And they have not
forgotten that the only other time
this district was misrepresented
by republican that it was Gil
bert-a stalwart Shelby countian
that redeemed the old Eighth
and brought it safely back to the
democratic fold. History is said
to repeat itself, and it need not be
surprising that another Gilbert
a worthy son of that democratic
victor of '98-is to be chosen to
lead the unterrified democracy of
the old Eighth to success in No
vernber.

GILBERT LEADS
IN GARRARD

Judge Ralph Gilbert has been
in Garrard county for several
days comforting with his friends
and getting acquainted with the
democrats Of this county III the
interest of his race for the demo-
cratic nomination for Congress.
This county was claimed by the
friends of Col. Ripy by a safe ma
jority but upon a canvass of the
democratic voters Judge Gilbert's
friends claim that the counting of
noses on August 9TH, the day of
the primary, Judge Gilbert will
be far in the lead here. Inc
strength developed here for, Judge
Gilbert will prove a great surprise
to his opponents in this race and
assures him the nomination.
The way that democrats who
have heretofore been non-com-
initial have come out strong for
Gilbert, shows the drift in the dis
trict and dscourages the other
candidates so much that his
friends claim that long before the
date of the primary Judge Gil
bert's election will be conceded
+ He has succeeded in perfecting a
good organization here who will
carry on vigorous fight in his
interest until the polls are closed
on August 9Th.

GILBERT THE MAN

The democratic voters of Shell
by county are rallying splendidly
to the support of Ralph Gilbert
the home man-for the democra-
tic nomination for Congress i'll the
coming Primary election and the
outlook is bright for one of the
largest maj orities this county has
ever accorded a candidate for
district office.
This spirit reflects credit upon
the citizenship OF Shelby county.
Loyalty to ones own friend and
neighbor has been a marked char
acteristic of the Anglo Saxon race
for centuries past, and when the
object of that loyalty is as clean
and capable as he is in this case it
is but natural that his people
should rally strongly to- his sup
port.
County loyalty, however, is not
the main factor that is causing
Ralph Gilbert to receive such
strong support The more one
examines the fitness and. availia-
bility of the candidates for the
nomination the more certain one
is to become convinced that Gil
bert is the outstanding man and
the best equipped to represent our
people in the halls of Congress.
Shelby county is not alone IN
its support of Gilbert. His friends
believe that he is sure to carry
seevn and probably eight of the
eleven counties comprising the
the district Visit any county
among the eleven and you will
find Gilbert in the lead or the con-
