many housekeepers are trying to
set up establishments in keeping
with what those mythical things
"the neighbors" think they should
have. And having acquired an
establishment In keeping with
what they think the neighbors
think they ought to have, they

Many households in our land
are entirely too elaborate TO be

The other evening called on
a wife who was bemoaning her
fate. She told me that in order
to keep her four-room home and
three children properly. II was
necessary for her to arise at 6

spoke to her. she was performing
the feat of a French laundress
upon her children's clothes.

new modern hotel for our city. The
question naturally arises, "Why
does Mt. Sterling need a new no
tel?" How / wish that l might be
able to write clearly and brilliantly
upon this subject so important to
our people! But / can't, so / want
to tell you what l believe to be the
main reasons why Mt. Sterling
should have this civic Improvement.
In the first place, every interest
ed citizen who will make little in
vestigation will be convinced that
the present hotel accommodations
are deplorably inadequate, neither
are they sufficiently modern for the
hotel patronage we now have. We,
therefore, need new and modern
hotel if we intend to care effectually
for our present patronage.
Secondly, by virtue of its location,
Mt. Sterling is an ideal hotel cen
ter, and, situated as it is, link be-
tween the highlands and the great
blue grass region, opening its heart
to the Midland Trail and the federal
highway, it invites important traffic
and an almost constant stream of
motorists. The increased patronage,
sure to come, is an additional strong
reason for new hotel.
Thirdly, new and modern hotel
is necessary for strictly business
and economic reasons. Our mer-
chants draw trade not only from the
city and county population, but also
from many mountain towns and
counties. As one of the largest
cattle and tobacco markets of the
state, the city is visited by a great
number of buyers who, instead of
having their headquarters in Win
chester and Lexington, would stay
here, could we provide adequate ac-
commodations. Then there is no
inconsiderable amount Of CONNER
cial travel to and through our city,
and even for ibis we haven't suffici-
emit hotel facilities.
We cannot open our gates, excel
lent as is our city in other respects,
to convention, because with our lin
tied hotel space, and no modern
conveniences, we are not able TO fur
nish rooms, diversion, or to care in
a satisfactory way for them. More
over, this new enterprise is neces-
sary TO maintain Mt. Sterling's good
name as a progressive town. Few
cities Of the sizes of ours have such
Anticipated hotel facilities.
Lastly, we need IT and want IL, be-
cause it win provide central place
for business, political and social

HARNEssING the
FARMER EXPLORERS

Senator McNary, of Oregon, and
Representative John w. Summers,
of Washington, have laid bare one
of the fundamental iniquities from
which the farmer has suffered for
years, and they plan to correct the
evil through legislation now pending.
In brief, they propose to establish
the licensing system in vogue gen.
orally during the war and under
which the secretary Of agriculture
would be able to govern to a large
extent the practices and functions
of those who handle farm products.
The bills-there are two Of them
would not only give to the secre-
tary of agriculture the authority to
investigate the operations of dealers
but upon complaint of any person
the secretary would make a report
Of the transaction record or bust
ness of any dealer or handler.
The secretary might also provide
for board Of arbitration for adj
justments and disputes in which any
approved handler or dealer has a
financial interest involving the
grade, quality, condition, value, de-
terioration, handling or distribution
of farm products. The important
point in the arbitration plan is a
provision that the finding of such a
board would be pr;ma facie evidence
in the courts.
Senator McNary is a practical
man. Perhaps 40 senator has a
more fundamental knowledge Of the
difficulties of the farmer or a deep
err appreciation of the injustice I'M
der which he has suffered at the
hands of the middleman, and it is
hoped the Legislation he has prepar-
ed will not be emasculated ia COM
mittee by theorists and politi al eco
nomists who left unchecked are
likely to sink the ship before it gets
under way. The outrageous exploit
tation of the farmer at the hands of
the middlemau must come to an end
and McNary will bring a good deal
of it to an end if tlven a free hand
