soil becomes firmly packed. However,
if the land is plowed in September,
there is not so much time for this nat
ural packing to occur. If September
plowing is practiced, it should be
shallower so that there will be less
amount of soil to pack; also, more
work should be put on the land.
Frequent narrowing or disking dur
ing September is advisable as this
will have a tendency to stop the
growth of weeds and grass.
A mistake is sometimes made by
farmer selling his own wheat and de-
pending on buying from someone
else. This action is largely due to his
belief that wheat runs out" Wheat
does not "run out" for instances are
known where the same variety Of
wheat has been grown continually Oh
the same farm, with good results. The
thing to be guarded against is getting
varieties or types mixed. This, can
be avoided by not saving for seed,
the first few bushels that are threshed
when the threshing machine begins
work on field Of wheat. If this
point is watched and all seed it famed,
thereby removing all cheat and other
weed seed as well as the light, shriv-
eled grains, it is not necessary to Sc
cure wheat from another farm or vi
entity for seed purposes.
:, Wheat should not beasown this fall
until after the fiy-free date, about
the 1ztH G October, as there is a
great dsalEof fly present in the fields.
II is not enough that only few
farmers, practice this, but all should
cooperate in this work. However, If
few farmers SOW before this date,
no one else should follow in this as
there is double chance for infection
II the sowing is done in the fall.

"Nobody expects man to stop his

A To-Day Tube of Pepsodent is offered now
to anyone who asks. This to quickly show all
people what it does. For your sake and your
children's sake we urge this ten-day test
Pepsodent is based on pepsin, the digestant
of albumin. The film is albuminous matter.
The object of Pepsodent is to dissolve it, then
to day by day combat it.
But pepsin must be activated, and the usual
agent is an acid harmful to the teeth. So this
method long seemed barred. Now science has
made it possible by discovering harmless
activating method. And everyone who will,
can daily fight this film.

AT EVANSVILLE

Joseph Boggs, Commissioner of
Public Roads for the state of Ken
lucky, in attendance at the Interstate
Good Roads Congress at Evanville,
Ind, spoke Thursday on "Kentucky's
New Highway Law. This feature has
been awaited with much anxiety upon
the part of number of Indiana road
men aswell as from this state who will
also hear something about roads from
Mr.. Boggs. He will outline the work
in Kentucky as done in the past and
and tell what is contemplated for the
present and forthcoming year, since
there have been plans made for state
wide and state control road improve
ments. The work of MIR. Boggs is
being felt throughout the state and
his ability and knowledge of road mat
ters is held as most important.
Among those in attendance at the

who will also take an active part in
the discussion of road matters: Gov.

GOV. COX OPENS
KENTUCKY CAMPAIGN
Favors League of Nations In
Stirring and Forceful Address
Delivered At Paducah

Paducah KY. April 23.-Standing
out unreservedly for ratification of the
League of Nations and declaring that
the Republican leaders have united in
a conspiracy to embarrass the Presi-
dent and the Government Gov. James
M Cox, Ohio, spoke here last night on
opening day of his Kentucky cam
paign.
Governor Cox, in his address, drew
a line between the Republican chiefs
and the ranks and file of the party. He
declared he did not hold Republicans
responsible for action of their leaders
who, he said, for more than year
had convinced to create an internal
and racial unrest.
He charges that Senator Lodge pro-
cured his copy of the treaty from
German agents and that the cam
pAgn against it under cover began
long before President Wilson's return.
Governor Cox struck a sympathetic
note when he deplored the tobacco
situation. He told of hearing prices
bid at the Mayfield chute and regret
ted that hard-working farmers of this
state were so imposed on.
Crumpling of the foreign exchanges
and inability of Italy to purchase, he
attributed largely to manipulation, of
leaders.
While they set the stage for a po-
litical triumph, they do not care how
much tobacco growers of Kentucky
or the people at large suffer, he de-
clared.

United States and the redemption of
it's most solemn obligations; it's
obligations to its associates in the
great war and to mankind to whom
it gave the most explicit pledge that
it went to- war, not merely to win a
victory in arms, but also to follow
up that victory with the establish
ment of such concert of nations as
would guarantee the permanence of
a peace based on justice"
