LIVE STOCK BODY TO
help CATTLE men
New Association Plans Cooper.
ative Measures of Benefit To
Kentucky Farmers
((By Associated Press)

Bowling Green, KY, May 12-
The recently organized Kentucky
Live Stock Association plans &c
bring about col operation in the
many varied interest of the far
mers of the state, James Speed
i editor of the Southern Agricul-
turist, told a group of farmers
gathered at the farm of S. K.
Warrener, near here, today for a
breeders Field1Day." The as
so>iation plans I'd take into mem
bership interests other than those
of breeders of pure bred livestock
he said.
"This new association is widely
different from the old Pure Bred
Livestock Association of the
state" said Mr., Speed.
Instead of being made up ell
tirely of breeders of pure bred
stock, it will have a membership
which will covert the state aid
bring into cooper 4ation many var
led interests. ln fact, there will
be a larger membership among
the other interests than among
the live stock people themselves.
"Ihe bankers Of the state have
become thoroughly interested
are taking memberships in the
organization just as if they were
breeders. This has been made
possible through a resolution
passed at the last meeting of the
executive committee OF the State
Bankers Association. The State
Bankers Association will have
member on the Board of Direc-
tors to represent them.
THE same thing will be true
of the live stock marketing inter
ests of the state. The commits
sion merchants, the live stock ex-
change and the stock yards will
have memberships and a member
on the Board of Directors. The
dairy interests, which manufac-
ture butter to sell cream and milk
to the consumer, have come into
the organization and will also
have member n..the Board OF
Directors. Of course, the Far
mers' Union and the Farm Bu~
reau will both be members of the
association and have a place on
the directorate.
The railroads are also intense
ly interested in the whole project
and though they cannot take
in the organization,
they will help materially with the
field work, which will be great
er value than an ordinary mem
bership in the association.
"The College of Agriculture
and its extension division, the
Commissioner of Agriculture and
all of the other state agencies
will actively cooperate in push
ing campaigns developed by thtis
new organization, which should
come into being this summer and
and be ready to do definite work
by early autumn. Tentative plans
have already been made looking
toward stock sales at eight to
twelve points in the state. These
stock sales will, naturally, be de-
veloped both by the breeders in
the districts surrounding these
counties and by the bankers who
will prove of tremendous value in
selling the proposition of better

KENTUCKY MIGHT
HAVE TURNED tide
In Favor of South, If She Had
Seeded. DR.. Shortridge Tells
Historical Society
(By Associated Pressl

Iowa City, Ia, May 11-Had
Kentucky joined the seeding
states there would probably
have been a dissolution of the
Union," DR.. Wilson Porter Short
ridge, professor of history at the
University of Louisville, Louis
vile, KY, told the Mississippi
Valley Historical Association at
its meeting here today. ga false
move on the part of the Presi-
dent or the Union leaders in the
state would have meant that
Kentucky would have gone with
the lower South" said DR.. Short
rideg, who compared the position
of Kentucky at the outbreak Of
hostilities to the attempt of the
United States to maintain armed
neutrality during the world war,
and traced the transition of the
state to armed neutrality and!
finally to participation in The
war for the union. He spoke IN
part as follows
"The impulse to follow the
cotton states into secession was
very strong in 1860-61, and it
was only by very skillful politi-
cal maneuvering that this action
was delayed until after March 4,
1861. Even then it required the
exercise of great tact on the part
of President Lincoln to keep
Kentucky in the Union.
"The fact that Kentuckians
were related by blood to the
people of both slave and free
states and that Kentucky was
intimately bound to both Sec
tions by economic ties had great
influence in determining the at
titude of the state in 1901. The
method used was an attempt az
neutrality between the sections
similar in some respects to the
attempt of the United States 70
maintain neutrality between 1914
and 1917. Kentucky declared
neutrality partly because public
opinion i'll the state was not
crystalized Immediately one way
or the other and partly because
of the hope that by preserving
neutrality between the sections
Kentucky might act as media
tor in bringing hostilities to an
end. AS the difficulties of main
tanning neutrality increased she
passed into a position of armed
neutrality. This position was one
step in the crystalization of pub
lie opinion in Kentucky and tie
eventual outcome of the war
was in large measure dependent
upon the outcome of the situo-
ton III Kentucky. This fact WAS
recognized and fully appreciated
by President Lincoln.
'The question OF the preserva-
ton of the union was suspended
at different times by very slcn-
der threads, but perhaps none
was more slender than tnat re-
garding the position that Ken
lucky should ultimately occupy.
For that reason the story Of ,he
struggle first to maintain neu-
trality in Kentucky and then to
bring public opinion safely from
neutrality to participation in the
struggle between the sections,
has great Importance in Ameri-
can history"

(By Associated Press


WASHINGTON, March 20.-Charges
of an unwritten agreement between
the United States and Great Britain,
to act together in any case arising IN
der the four-power Pacific treaty,
brought on another storm of debate to-
day in the senate.
Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho

saying he had been told by every
member of the American delegation
that an understanding for future CO.
operation between the two govern
ments in any emergency in the Pacific
had been reached at the arms confer
ence.
The assertion promptly was denied
by both Senators Lodge, Republican,
Massachusetts, and Underwood, Demo
crat, Alabama, both of whom were
members of the delegation.

with Mr. Cravath about it at ALL" said
Senator Lodge, land l know of nc

ment," Senator Underwood said, "and

FLAT OPPOSITION TO
PROPOSED ARMY SIZE
EXPRESSED BY WEEKS

WASHINGTON, March 20.-Flat OBJ
position to house appropriation pro-
posals to cut the army strength to
$4,000 enlisted men, was expressed
today by Secretary Weeks on his re-
turn to the war department from a
three weeks visit to Florida for rest
and recuperation.
The department had recommended
to congress, Mr.. Weeks said, an army
of 100000 men. including 1000 Philip
pine scouts, and was convinced that
it would be unwise and unsafe to ge
below that authorized strength, al.
though frequently, as at present, the
army was enabled to keep with the
colors the full number of men it had
authority to enlist.
There are now in the army about
100000 men all told, according to
Mr.. Weeks, who added that it was not
unusual for the arm yto be five or 10
per cent below its authorized strength,
due to the difficulty of recruiting.
