""RETIRED FARMERS" FIND TIME
HANGS HEAVY

Retired farmers who move to town
seldom find city life what it is
cracked up to be- according to w.
d. Nichols, head of the farm eco
Monies department of the College of
Agriculture.
Farm management studies which
have been made in Kentucky point
out this fact as one of the most
detrimental to country life, he said.
"Such movement often fails to
bring contentment and pleasure an
ticipated and the retired farmer in
most cases is not satisfied with the
change. Time hangs heavily on his
hands and living expenses are higher
than he anticipated. He then feels
it necessary to exact the last penny
that can be expected from the ten
ant on his farm thereby making the
incentive of the renter to keep up
the land and take care of the i'm
provements
These facts are significant in
working out satisfactory leasing con-
tracts betweent landlords and ten
ants in Kentucky where more than
| one-third of the farms are rented,
according to Mr.. Nichols.
| "It has been found that it often
is better for the landlord to retire
on his own farm, renting the land
out on a share basis to a younger,
more active man." he continued.
''In this way, the owner continues
to take an interest in the manage
ment problems and can give the
benefit of his long farming expert
ence and trained judgment in buy
ing and selling"

ANOTHER SUIT ATTACKS TRAD
ING STAMPS LAW

A suit was filed in KentOn County
Circuit Court by the Sperry-Hutch
inson Company, New York City,
against Orie S. Ware, commonwealth
Attorney, and Edward j. Tracy,
County Attorney of Kenton county,
in which the complainant company
seeks to enjoin enforcement of law
enacted by the last legislature
which prohibits merchants, firms
and corporations from giving trad
ing stamps under a discount system
to purchasers of merchandise, and
makes 1t an offense for persons to
receive the stamps in Kentucky. The
company also seeks to attack the
constitutionality of the law, and, on
the execution of $1,000 bond by
the compliments, Judge Tracy issu-
ed temporary restraining order to
prevent Ware and Tracy from en-
forcing the provision of the law
against the defendants, pending a
hearing of the suit.

THE PROPER COURSE
Information of Priceless Value to
Every Paris Citizen

How to act in an emergency Is
knowledge of inestimable worth, and
this is particularly true of the dis
eases and ills of the human body. II
you suffer with kidney backache,
urinary disorders, or and form OF
kidney trouble, the advice contain
ed in the following statement should
add a valuable asset to your store
of knowledge. What could be more
convincing proof of the efficiency OF
Doan's Kidney Pills than the state
ment of a Paris citizen who used
them and who publicly tells OF the
benefit derived?
Mrs. A. l.. Burley, 329 Eighth
street, Paris, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills few times and
from the benefit obtained Il can say
they are a good reliable remedy.
When my kidneys have acted irreg-
ularly or my back has been weak and
lame 1 have always found that box
or so of Doan's Kidney Pills which
got at Ardery's Drug Store relieves
the complaint quickly"
The above statement was given
November 10, 1916, land on Novem-
Der r., 1920, Mrs. Burnley said: i
| haven't changed my opinion OF
Doan's Kidney Pills and recommend
them just as highly to-day as when
gave my former statement"

simply ask for a kidney remedy

DISCUSS BUILDING PROBLEMS
Standardization of Specifications and
Tests for Road Materials Are
Being Made.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The committee on tests of the Ameri-
can Society of State Highway Officials
met with the officials of the bureau of
public roads of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, in Washing
ton, to consider Standardization of
specifications and tests for road mate
rails. The purpose of this meeting
of representatives from all sections
of the country was not so much to lay
down rigid rules as to harmonic the
general practice. Standardization TAX
ing into account local conditions is
being brought about by series of
meetings between officials from groups
of states and engineers of the bureau.
The present activity of highway Off
Gals along this line is most encour-
aging for road building. A few years
ago the general tendency was toward
individuality in each state, without
much opportunity for exchange of
ideas and knowledge. Today the ten
dency Is in the other direction, and
a better solution should be reached
when the problems are discussed at
meetings of the best highway engi-
neering talent of the country.
