people fall upon the pictured features
of Louisville boy. In newspapers,

play, there his picture is printed or

Wallace H. Dow, who, prior to his
removal to New York, lived on Twen-

father was widely known in Masonic
circles. Young Dow is one of several
selected as the models used in the

strange part of it all is that while
Dow is pictured in thousand atti-

We hear a great deal about the
burden of taxation and the popular
| idea seems to be that the measure
pending at Washington make no sub
Stantial reductions. But that is Il
mistake. The raising of the income
year exemption figures from $4,000
to $4,000, and for dependents from
5000 to $400 is a very sensible relief.
1t may not go as far as it should, but
it makes an excellent start.

Now this is merely piece of
neighborhood gossip we heard from
one of the he-gossips, and we give it
for what it is worth: 1.-THE other
night one of my neighbors wanted
his wife to stay at home with him,
but she wanted to go to the Paris
Grand. They were discussing the
matter on the front porch. Hubby
asked: May I ask if you have made
up your mind to stay in?' Like shot
out of a rifle and equally as sharp,
came the reply from friend wife:
mo, 1 have made up my face to go
OUT And she went, as a matter Of
course"

higher rates are necessary for better
service but we believe that better SER
vice should make its appearance ahead
F., of increased rates.
| In years past it was the practice
of the Lead Belt Telephone Company
to issue new directories twice yearly,
but that practice evidently has been
abandoned. Upon inquiry and invest
igation we find that no directories are
obtainable and many business concerns
have been without for quite a while.
AS we understand the directory propo-
sition is one of no cost to the tele-
phone company. They are issued, when
issued, from the advertising proceeds,
the patronage of which is from the
business houses of the county. A
reasonable amount of attractive adj
vertising in the directories might not
prove Objectionable but we are quite
sure that the present arrangement is
not satisfactory. The business houses
pay for telephone service and the tel
ephone company should pay for the
directories, at least a sufficient por-
ton to be interested to the extent of
publishers on schedule time
We are for an increase in rates if
that increase is necessary for better
service but we are opposed to an in
crease service is better. Where the
trouble is we do not know. the 'hello
girls" in most cases, do the best they
can, but they cannot print directories
and repair lines and cables. Let's
"ep" up little and give the patrons
their just dues for rentals collected.

FOR THE BENEFIT
OF THE FARMER =

The emergency tariff on wheat
which is slow congress passed '"for
+, the benefit of the farmer" has now
shown where the benefit went. Simp-
ly and exactly, it went to the grain
Spectator in Chicago.
When the great slump came in
wheat last year, thousands of farmers
decided to hold their wheat for high
er price. On Jan. wheat was 81 40
bushel. On March 1, the price was
$1.47, on April l, $1.33, and on May 1,
$1.10.
Around May /, the farmer found it
absolutely necessary to get rid of his
wheat stocks in order to prepare for
the bumper crop forecasted for this
year and in order to clear his bins.
Millions of bushels went to the market
at that time at around $1.10, the bot
tom price.
When this had happened, in the
fourth week of May, the tariff, "for
the benefit of the farmer" was passed,
that is, after most of the wheat had
gone to market.
Then what happened, my brothers?
Why, towards the end of May the
price of wheat scared to $1.65 and the
55 cents per bushel difference went
mostly into the hands of the grain
spectators. A very handsome profit
indeed, counting for more stone man.

And the farmer who was to be "ben-

crop.

H0GS.--The early market was quite
aggressive and fully 15c to 25c higher
than the previous weeks close on
practically the entire supply of hogs
ranging from 200 to 225 pounds and
on down to pig weights, top 1925 be-
ing realized for light butcher hogs and
$3.50 for pigs. This advance in the
market developed through the activity
Of order buyers and city butchers, and
the bulk of the weights mentioned
closed in line with the advance, the
bulk of the 100 to 215 pound hogs
bringing So to $500, while pigs rang
ed in price from $3.50 to $3.50. The
later market, however, was in the
hands of the packers who forced the
early advance off, late top being about
$50, but while most of the light stuff
sold as indicated above, packers Sc

Historic Race Is Repeated.

History repeated itself at Natchez,
Miss, recently, when the Robert f.
Lee, a giant seaplane, defeated the
Mississippi-Warrior tugbOat Natchez.
Hundreds of people thrOnged the river
front to witness the race, which easily
went to the namesake of the historic
river packet, the Robert E. Lee, the
winner of the original race.
The Natchez is the first of six power
full tugs that are being constructed to
tow barges on the Mississippi and
Warrior rivers, and was proceeding
down stream to New Orleans at the
time of the race. On the departure
of the NatcheZ the Robert e. Lee took
to the air and once again the race
between the namesakes of the two
famous river craft was enacted.
