ATTENTION, FARMERS!

Every farmer should have printed
stationery; it gives him more of
business appearance to the outside
world, and costs no more than or
dinary tablets and envelopes-the
only difference being that you have
to buy in little larger quantity.
Farmers throughout the entire I'm
tied States are rapidly acknowledge
ing the fact that they ARE real bus
mess men; in fact, they are the
most important business men in this
country, and their business is GER
tainly one that should be advertised
to the outside world, and for this
reason farmers generally are using
neatly printed stationery, the same
as other business men of les inn
portance. Realizing this fact, and
IN order to encourage the practice
of this business-like move, we will
for the next thirty days make spe-
cial prices to farmers only on print
ed stationery.-Advocate Publishing

10 Vote For School Bond Issue

The citizens of Mt. Sterling will
vote upon a $4,000 school bond is
sue Saturday and it is confidently
expected that the issue will carry
by an overwhelming vote. Our rea-
sons for thinking this are First, be-
cause of the need for additional
room to accommodate the children
of our city has been clearly estab-
lished; and, second, because the
cost to each taxpayer has been
shown to be so slight as to scarcely
be felt at all, even by the large prop
erty owners. The room at our pres
ent building is not sufficient for the
children now enrolled and by the
time the fall term opens next year
it will be practically impossible to
take care of the overflow unless an

Truck Runs Amuck

While standing on Broadway at
noon today, the brakes on the large
truck of the Oil Products Company
became loosened while the driver
was dispensing oil, and ran away,
running into the Overland touring
car of L. M. Redmond in front Of
his store on Main street, striking
it with such force as to demolish
one of the wheels, brake an axle and
otherwise seriously injure the car.
After striking the car the truck ran
on to the pavement in front of the
Mt. Sterling National Bank and
swerved, going back on Main street,
where it was stopped without in
jury.

A NEEDED ADJUNCT

Mt. Sterling can be counted on as
having live men who are seeking the
best for our citizenship and for their
own interests as well. We are now
making reference to the carpet
cleaning and renewing adjunct to
the Mt. Sterling Laundry. This
method takes from rugs and carpets
every stain, all grease spots, reno
Yates and kills and removes all
germs. Neither sticks nor boards
are used to scatter disease and de-
stroy the rugs. Montgomery county
has homes filed with the highest
quality of carpets and rugs, deli
cate in color and fine texture that
must have spring cleaning and
now since this modern cleaning
method is within the reach of all
every hOusekeeper who will can have
their homes in the springtirhe renew
ed to former beauty that carries
with it the perfume of the spring
bowers. For particulars we call at
tention of our housekeepers to the
Mt. Sterling Laundry The machir-
cry is the same as IS in the most
modern plants in Louisville and
Lexington and other large cities,
and the prices bear favorable
comparison. Call phone Is for par
ticulars and place your orders.

Beloved Woman
Sinks To Rest

Mrs. Anna Belle Mason, aged
about 6S years, widow of the late
James w. Mason, sank to rest at IL
o'clock Wednesday night, March L,
at her home on the Grassy Lick pike,
after a weeks illness of influenza.
Physicians did their utmost and
the idolizing family and devoted
friends of this lovely woman ocn-
stantly sent up prayers that she
might be saved, but to no avail. Her
death was peaceful and painless.
1t is doubtful if any death has oc-
CURED here in recent years that has
occasioned more widespread sorrow
than that of Mrs. Mason. 1t was
feared days ago that she could not
recover, but even in the face of this
knowledge, family and friends con-
tinued their prayers that the mercy
of the All-Wise be extended to this
noble woman. But Heaven was not
Heaven without her, and God called
her Home.
Mrs. Mason was one of the best
and truest women it was ever the
good fortune of this writer to know;
she was most devoted and self
sacrificing wife and mother and
left her impress upon the lives Of
her devoted children who are among
the first and most highly esteemed
citizens of Montgomery county.
Mrs. Mason's death removes
high minded, cultivated woman from
the social life of Montgomery coun-
ty, in which she was an ornament
and insiration for years.
Mrs. Mason was consecrated
member of the Methodist church and
actively interested in church work
until age and invalidism prevented.
She was an earnest Christian wo-
man, and her unselfish devotion to
her family and friends was one of
the chief characteristics of a beau
tiful life of noble impulses and kind
ly deeds.
To her stricken children, all of
whom. with thousands. of friends,
worshipped her, the sympathy of
community bowed down will go,
and all will sigh many time for
-"the touch of a vanished hand
And the sound of voice that is
STILL"
Deceased is survived by five
Misses Sallie and Mae Ma
son and Messrs. Shirley, Arch and
Crawford Mason.
The funeral services will take
place at the family residence Satur-
day afternoon at one o'clock, the
Rev. j. s. Ragan, of the Grassy
Lick Methodist church. officiating.
Burial will be in Machpelah ceme-
ferry

Mrs. Walter Bridges read a splen-
did paper on "The Fascination of
Shakespeare's Cleopatra" Mrs. ].
w. Jones gave an excellent compar-
ison of the Antony of "Julius Gaze
sar" and that of "Antony and Cleo
patra." The club heartily endorsed
the 100000 bond issue for the i'm
provement and enlargement of The
city school buildings, which is TO be
voted on Saturday.

Weed Sales Thought
Close To $4,000, 900

From statements made by Ralph
M. Barker, director Of warehouses
of the Burley Tobacco Growers Co.
operative Association, in an address
to the tobacco growers of Adams
county, Ohio, at Manchester, Ohio,
Tuesday, it is believed that the sales
of the association to date total
close to sixty million poonds.
While nothing has yet been made
phblic as to prices, it is believed
that the amount realized by the
growers who stuck to tie associa-
ton will be from 25 to so per cent
higher than that paid to growers
who remained out of the associa-
ton and marketed their crops else
where.
Mr.. Barker is said to have told
the members of the association very
frankly the amounts sold TO the va
rious manufacturers and the prices
for whicheach grade sold, with he
result that after the meeting the
few farmers in the crowd who we're
not already members of the asso-
citation came up voluntarily and
joined it.
President James c. Stone said
that the association is "selling TO-
bacco right along" The president,
however, would not go into details.
Judging from the activity in the to-
bacco district, however, and prompt
removal of the tobacco from the
hors of the houses at which it is
being delivered by the members of
the association, it is believed that
sales are almost keeping pace with
deliveries. If that is true .he esti-
mate credited to Director Barker,
cannot be far wrong.

and Brynie Kline. The bride is a
daughter Of James Leach and is ad-

THE BUSINESS WORLD
is AWAKENING

And now we find the retail
clothiers awakening to the fact
country America is the real Ameri-
ca and must be recognized. What
changes have taken place in the bus
mess world mentality when the
National Clothiers Association
gravely expresses itself as follows
to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission:
eve believe that this is not the
time for a horizontal reduction in
all freight rates. We believe in
stead that all reductions possible at
this time should be centered on farm
products, farm machinery, steel and
iron, coal and such basic commodi-
ties. We believe with substantial
reductions in basic commodity ra-
ties return to normal conditions will
be fastened"
This is flat recognition of the
fact that all industries are depen-
dent on agriculture. Tariff tinkers,
industrial political economists,
scientific theorists whose fallacies
have swayed the world so long,
coupled with the selfish butchers,
bakers and candlestick makers of
American industry have now come
to see that they have been mistaken
IN the animal they have beeen prod
ding so long, and that is their own
Ok that has been gored.

Progress Made In Preparation
Of Campaign For New Hotel

cial board Of the company who
would employ an experienced hote
manager on salary. 1t is the be.
lief of the committee that after op-
erations begin the company will b.
able to pay an annual dividend Of
approximately six per cent. This
dividend will be greater if the hote
is operated locally.
The question Of site for the new
hotel is being carefully considered
For some weeks committee of local
men, in consultation with other men
familiar with hotel projects, has
been studying the site situation. AL
though several sites are available ia
this committee, any one of which
would prove eminently satisfactory
it was thought best to let the stock
holders themselves determine the
proper location after the stock sales
campaign. This also gives oppor-
tunity for the prospective operator
or lessee, together with the hotel
architect, to assist the stockholders
in planning for a hotel that will
bring the most returns on the in
vestment.
The executive committee is of the
opinion that the additional dividends
which will accrue to this community
in the form of by-product will be
of even more value to Mt. Sterling
and Montgomery county than will
be the direct returns. The commun-
ity will profit by increased property
values, favorable city advertising,
business to merchants, better mar
kets for farmers, conventions and
tourists. The new hotel will assist
in promoting the good roads pro-
gram. 1t will be source of com
munity pride. 1t will help more than
any other one thing to develop our
city and county and will be a meet
ing place for social, fraternal, po-
litical and business groups.
The purchase of this stock should
appeal to the citizens of Mt. Ster-
ling and Montgomery county: First,
because the project is distinct
community enterprise and all agree
that new and modern hotel is a
necessity and will be very definite
benefit to the community; and, sec
ond, because fair dividend return
can reasonably be expected.

LIKE A LION

Truly if there be any truth in the
old saying that when 'March comes
in like a lion, she goes out like a
lamb" she will make very lamb
like exit this year, for she came in
with a roar. The sleet and ice, to-
gether with the cold rain which kept
up practically all day and night
makes ii exceedingly hard on the
young lambs, pigs and chickens and
farmers are very fearful that num-
bers of them will be lost.

Lexington To Have
Farm Loan Bank

Movement was launched yester-
day by Lexington and Louisville
capitalists for the organization of a
big farm loan bank, which will be
known as the First Joint Stock
Land Bank of Lexington, and which
will have a capitalization of $780,
600, with paidin surplus of $780,
600.
The capacity of the bank to make
loans will be limited to fifteen times
its capitalization, which, with the
banks capital and surplus, will
mean that the bank will be able to
make loans of $4,sOO,OOO. The cap
ital and surplus, it is said, will be
paid in Immediately, and the re-
mainder of the money for loans will
be obtained from the fotation Of
bonds, which will be disposed of on
the open market.
The bank is being organized under
section 16 of the, Federal Farm Loan
Act, and, while 1t will be independ-
ent, will be under the supervision
of the Federal Land Bank at Louis
vile. Loans win be made to farm
ers, and they will be- made for long
terms with real estate security.
1t is predicted that the new bank
will start business by April 1. As
quarters it will have a part of the
east side of the ground floor Of the
Security Trust Company's building,
which is to be remodeled for its
use.
c. N. Naming has been active in
the preliminary work for the new in
stitution and it is probable that he
will be its president. With him there
has been owrking an organization
committee Of James G. Stone and
other Lexington men. Oothers in
crested are Desha Breckenridge, L.
}. Cox, George X. Graves and John
J. Stoll. Louisville men in the or
'anization are Judge r. W. Bing-
lam, John R. Downing and f. H.
