Mr.. Duffy lives on his farm a few
miles from Cynthiana, and farming is
his occupation. While a young man in
Tennessee he graduated in law at the
University OF Virginia and practiced
for some time in the courts of Ten
nessee, but, falling in health, retired
to the farm, and has continued as a
farmer. He has been called by the
Democrats of Harrison county TO be
their candidate for the Legislature on
five occasions, and has won his spurs
at Frankfort.
Now, says Mr.. Duffy, he has had so
many letters and inquiries from coun-
ties of the district and the pressure to
take up the standard OF old-fashioned
democrscv has become so strong, that
he feels he should accede to the wish
es of his friends and enter the lists.
He is an old-fashioned Democrat,there
can be no doubt Of that. He does not
believe in fads and 'isms," He stands
for the faith OF the fathers Of the par
ty; he is deeply grounded in the prin-
ciples of government as proclaimed by
jefferson. He does not believe in
usurpation by the general govern
ment of powers and duties delegated
to the States. He does not believe in
State governments arrogating the pow
ers and duties of county and local
governments. He does not believe in
increasing restriction of individual
rights. He is opposed to the growth Of
Federal power, and recognizes 1t as
insidious and hard TO combat.
Indications lead to the belief that
the people of the whole country are
growing anxious for the safety and
perpetuation Of our government as a
true democracy. The signs OF the times
are unmistakable that there is wide
spread desire to get back to the sim
pie principles of government under
which the country thrived and grew
strong and his friends believe Mr..
Duffy is the one man in this district
who best embodies and who can best
defend the liberty and interests of the
people.
Reports from the mountain counties
indicate that the Democrats of tha-
section will welcome a candidate from
Harrison countywhich for many years
has been the Gibraltar of the district
and which has never been honored
with a nomination. The old feeling Of
sectionalism has been abolished. The
district stands as a unit against the
aggressions Of the Republican party
on the rights of the people, and the
incident of candidates residence
will no longer be taken into consider
alton. What is wanted is the man
who represents what the people desire
in government.
Mr.. Duffy proposes to make a clean
fight for the nomination. He is not
given to abusing opponents He neVe"
did it. He will form such organiza-
tlons as are necessary for a proper
handling of his campaign; he VIII
present his views in calm, dispas-
sionate, straightforward way, and
leave the question of who shall be
Congressman to the judgment OF the
voters of the district.-Cynthiana

The new Eastern Kentucky Normal
School belongs within the district COW
cred by the association of counties
formed some time ago with Jno. Il.
Buckingham as president. The propo-
sition from the very beginning con-
templated its location in this section,
The representatives of the philan-
thropic organization that has made
such generous offer for this school
have investigated the situation fully
and reported that 1t should be located
In the eastern border territory This
report was made by unbiased men
from outside the State, men who are
free to look at the situation as 1t now
exists, and competent to see as far IN
to the future as possible. They see
the development of the boundless min
eral wealth just starting; the increase
in population going forward by leaps
and bounds; the crying need for bet
ter educational facilities at our doors.
They have studied the character of the
native population and noted the pure
strain of Anglo-Sa blood running
through this people. They have weigh
ed the Importance of educating them
so that they may take hold OF the de-
veiopment of their own country rather
than leaving this work to the advent
of foreigners; and that their fine ma
tive. ability may be turned into chan
nels that best serve their state and
nation.
Unfortunately, a situation has aris-
en- that threatens to defeat the pri-
mary objects of this most laudable en-
terprise. The full power of the strong
organization now functioning on this
matter will be used to prevent a mis-
take of that kind.

is then gathered together for a coun-

an exhibit from this county would
prove to be the very best ADVERTISE

A GOOD TOWN-WHAT is IT.
WnRTH9

What is a good town worth to a
farmer? What is farm worth IF
it. is 40 or four miles from real live
town? s;5s ISL iss=s. & &ss9
We wonder whether our farmer
folks ever think about the dollar and
cents part Of a community. We may
say a lot of unkind things about our
home town and never stop to think
book, schools and community.
If your farm is within a few miles
Of good town it is worth four times
as much as if it was 40 miles from
good market where you can buy and
sell. i.
Suppose in your home state there
were only half dozen big cities in
it and no small towns. What would
That do to the farm and farmer? Such
a condition would be the worst thing
that could possibly happen. D,
In Ohio, from 1910 to- 1920, there
were 582 towns that lost In popula-
ton. The big cities grew in size. Sup
pose this drift goes on for 40 years.
Where will the glory Of Ohio be?
What will become Of its prosperity?
When the old town shrinks and
shrivels, then is the time when coun-
try folks decide to leave the COM
munity and 60 to the city or to some
other place that has good town.
Mr.. Farmer, you may have good
farm crop every year, but Il You SO
neglect your community your farm
may shrink In value so that with all
your hard work and q little money "a
the bank you have lost more dollars

WHEN AND HOW 70
SELECT SEED CORN

Seed Corn Time in Minnesota, Sept
10 to. 20.
a Seed corn should be selected in the
field as the plants are maturing" says
A.. G. Army Of the division Of farm
crops and farm management of the
state university, in a new special bull
letin entitled, Corn Raising in Min
nesota." EN-
"The best time to pick the seed
ears, = continues Mr. Army S. is when
the leaves of the plant are still green,
the husks beginning to turn yellow,
and the ears well dented. When the
seed ears are selected from the plants
as they are maturing, the choice can
be made on q sound basis to maintain
or increase the yielding power Of the
variety, and diseased plants can be
recognized and avoided. At the same
time, the corn is gathered early enough
so it can be cured without danger Of
injury by freezing ~
The bulletin deals with all phases
Of corn growing under the general
headings Of essentials for higher yields
good seed, soil preparation, cultivation
and stand. The author stresses the
Importance of making the plant the
basis of seed corn selection. "Efec-
tive selection Of seed ears from husked
corn is impossible" he says.
