The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-10-14

"The majority Of farmers in the
past have not used as much brains
as the keeper Of the corner peanut
stand" said General f. II. Woods, Of
Pageville, KY, in an address to far
mers. And the General ought to
know. for he is a practical farmer
himself who has "made good" and as
president Of the Kentucky Farm Blu
reau Federation has abundant OPP
portunity to know what farmers are
doing, not only in his own state, but
in the nation as well.
"The man with the peanut stand
knows what he paid for what he Of
fers for sale and also knows what
he is going to get for his goods.
That's more than the farmer can
say.
"And the remedy7 1t is organi-
cation. If the farmer in Kentucky
does not organize now that he has
the opportunity, he deserves no SYM
pathy and ought to be kicked.
"The farmer is the only man in
the country who does not know what
is the cost of that which he pro-
duces and the only man who has no
voice in saying what he shall get for
the stuff he does produce.
"The newly arrived immigrant
not able to speak the English Ian
guage, does better than that. He
joins union and before he strikes
lick of work he knows what he is
going to get for that days labor.
More than that, the union to which
he belongs has a contract agree
ment with the employers and that
ignorant laborer, with nothing in
vested save the overalls in which
he stands, knows not only what he
will get for this days work, but
knows that for six months or year
in advance that there will be no re-
duction. That much he gets through
organization and the fact that with
all his ignorance he does know the
value that accrues when men stand
together.
"You have heard many farmers
say that they made ends meet and
are satisfied with the years work.
Mark that! He made ends meet! He
did not receive cent for his own
labor, or that Of his child, and per-
haps his wife and not a cent of in
terest on his investment. But he
made ends meet.

like blessing his luck or be satisfied

HARDING'S FIRST DATE
WAS A GEAT MISTAKE

Two reasons have been assigned
political observers in the state for
the booking of Senator Warren G..
Harding for speech in Louisville
on October 14th.
The first is that the Republicans
are growing very skeptical of their
ability to carry the state and are
bringing Harding here with the hope
of bolstering their cause.
The second is the realization that
the appointment at Ashland on Sep
tcmber 20 for the Republican candi-
date is something of blunder. Ash
land is one of the leading industrial
communities in Kentucky. In CEN
tiers of industry in Ohio Harding
has always run poor race because
of his lifelong opposition to labor.
Republican leaders are fearful that
his appearance in Ashland will only
emphasize this well-known condi-
dition; labor's distrust of the Re-
publican candidate. Every worker
knows by this time through the
agency of the Investigations made
by the American Federation of La
Dor that in everf important test be-
tween capital and labor Harding
stands with the former. He is never
for giving the worker a square deal.
Harding's weakness in industrial
communities is matter Of common
knowledge j" Ohio. His race for gov

"The farmer must wake up or &c

'Tn this day and time no man can

merely make ends meet.

to but himself. No one does any

f You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensvely advertised all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason IS plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless cham system the remedy IS recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it.
 A prominent druggist says Take for example Dr. kimer's Swamp Root, a preparation l have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits. as many of my customers testify No other kidney remedy has so large a sale
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulflls al- most every wish in overcominr kidney, lIver and bladder ailments corrects uri- nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid winch causes rheumatism.

POLITICS AND OIL

Agitation has been started foi
a government investigation of high
price OF gasoline. Our course, this
is for purely political purposes.
There are a few simple reasons
for increased prices of petroleum
products, which can be ascer-
tanned by any investigator without
expense to the government.
n. A. C. Smith of the Bureau
of Mines, Department of the In
terror, has just issued some in
teresting information bearing on
the subject. The simple fact
seems to be that we are using a
great deal more gasoline than we
are producing Mr. Smith says
this increased demand has been
felt in all phases Of the oil refin-
ing industry, especially in the
fuel, Illuminating and lubricat-
ing oil branches.
The production of gasoline to
meet the demand OF gasoline us
ing vehicles has increased from

nation of a controversy in which

pointed to scriptural use and GER

tion has contended that dairymen,
ranchmen, and farmers in, general
use milk" instead of ''milch" al
most universally. The advocates
of milk" also favored that word
because, they contended, it was
more strictly an English word,
while "milch" was akin to Ger

is thought that this last sally OF

tion in their favor.

LUMBER FUTURE BRIGHT

The prospective demand foI
lumber was never so bright as at
the present time and men thor
oughly familiar with the industry
state that there is little possibility
of the demand slackening for the
next five or ten years. In fact,
it appears that the demand will
exceed the supply for an indefi-
mite period.
Now that the railroads are
back in private hands they are ac-
lively in the market and will bty
tremendous quantities of lumber.
1t is estimated they will spend in
the next three years $1,000
100000 for new freight cars
alone. The railroads are far
short of their normal freight car
requirements due to war condi-
tions and delayed construction
under government operation and
much of the equipment is in bad
condition. Their rehabilitation
process will require large
amounts OF capital. Some author
tiles estimate that the railroads
will need 5O,OOO.OOO ties which
would require 1000, 900. 600
board feet of lumber and their
other lumber needs are in like
proportions.
Thus. it will be seen that CON
ditions encouraging to railroad de-
yelopment and improvement di-
rectly affect the prosperity of
hundreds OF thousands of people
employed in the lumber industry
and conditions which hurt rail-
reading automatically hurt lum-
bering in normal times.
