QUEEN MOTHER DEFlES TIME
Alexandra of Britain Active in Spite
of Her II Years-Puts
In Busy Day.

London, England-Queen Alex
andra, the queen mother, now In her
seventy-eighth year, is far more &C
tive than most women Of her age. She
might take life far more easily than
she does, but she evidently Is opposed
to the idea Of being laid on the shelf.
She likes to show herself among the
people. and she is gratified by the
applause with which her appearance
always Is greeted. Undoubtedly It
acts as a sort of psychological tonic
upon her, and helps her to feel as
young as she looks.
She crowds many activities into

A BILLION DOLLAR GARDEN
(Farm Life.)

We count wheat and cotton as
principal crops, and yet, in 1921,
they both together were barely
equal in value to the vegetables
grown on farms in the United
States. If we add the truck grown
on city and suburban lots to the
garden sass" grown on farms, we
find a total value just about equal
to that of the entire national corn
crop. Not all of these vegetables
were sold, of course. but perhaps as
great a proportion of them as of the
corn produced found its way to di-
rect cash market. So far as that is
concerned, the poultry products for
last census year (1919) were more
than billion dollars in value and
the dairy products nearly billion
and a half. These figures are inter
esting because they show how ex'
tremely important the garden and
the poultry yard are to the farmers
of the country; but because their
yield and consumption are spread
over a longer period of time they
are too often regarded as negllble

The recent death of w. H. (Roar-
ing BilD Sweeney recalls an inter-
esting chapter of Kentucky political
history in which he was a central
Figure in one of the most sensational
land spectacular struggles ever stag
ed in the State.
1t was in the famous Music Hall
Democratic State convention held
in Louisville, in June, 1899, that
Mr.. Sweeney was put up as the Har-
din candidate for temporary chair
man against Judge David Redwine,
the choice of the Goebel-Stone coali-
ton. The situation was tense and
excitement ran high, the final out
come depending upon the decision of
Major P. P. johnson, the State chair
man, in a number of contests from
counties with rival delegations
claiming the right to vote in the
temporary organization. The final
decision of Chairman Johnson gave
1.-The coveted honor to Judge Redwine
and started the riotous proceeding
that lasted for over a week, during
which several tragedies narrowly
were averted. Mr.. Sweeney never
accepted his defeat for the chair
manship and the loss of the honor
ranked in his bosom and changed
the whole course of his life.
At the time he was the Common
wealth's Attorney of the Eleventh
district but having changed his par
ty affiliation after the Music Hall
episode, he lost prestige in the DEM
ocratic district that had honored
him with preferment, coming to
Louisville where he had since lived
to within a short time of his death.
Had he won the temporary chair
manship of the memorable 1899 con-
vention, the probabilities are that
he would have been elected to Con-
gress from the Fourth district, as he
was regarded as one of the ablest
men in his party with every quality
to make a national lawmaker His

some to rise above bitter personal
and political disappointment.

JUNK AND JuHk1He

For some years press agentry has
made heavy inroads upon our dimin-
ishing wood pulp supply while del
uging the press with inutile masses
Of copy" = IS
To paraphrase once popular
song, the pulp mills never grind
timber that has passed. Reforesta-
ton never has been undertaken up
on an adequate scale, and there is
no general support for the sentiment
of a majority of newspaper men
that majority of press agents
should be lynched. ;sl
In these circumstances the dispo-
sition of a Federal Government
press bureau to junk a service
which proved an exception to the
rule that what is poked at the press
must be pushed into the waste bas
ket raises a question. n
The DAILY Digest" Of the press
bureau of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, quoting briefly
what was being said about what was
ton with agriculture, by Congress
especially, was edited by somebody
who knew hawk from handsaw
when the wind was in the right di-
rection.
No sooner had the Daily Digest
become recognized medium for the
distribution of information valuable
to daily newspapers desiring to
keep tab upon the agrarian move
ment than its publication was dis
continued.
The bureau which discontinued it
will continue to raid the wood pulp
supply, along with innumerable 9TH
ers, burdening the mails with tons
of copy" that will be baled with
other waste paper by thousands of
newspapers daily. 4Eea4f G

A su0 Is A GREAT BIG BANK.

Every farmer in Kentucky who
owns a silo can consider himself
the President and Board of Directors
of a first-class bank.
A bank is an institution for the
secure storage of valuables; silage
is valuable. A bank is a source OF
help in financial stress-so is a silo
when feed is scarce. A bank not
only keeps it's patrons funds safely
but returns them with interest; so
does a silo return interest, but at
rate far above that of the banks. AS
an investment the bank returns
profits on the money put into it; as
a sole stakeholder in the silo the
farmer will find it one Of the best
investments he ever made.
Kentucky is gaining steadily in
dairying. The most reliable au-
thorities state that there are a.
600 silos in the State, each with an
average capacity of 100 tons. AS
suming SIS per ton as the feed value
of silage, the deposits in these ru-
raj banks of the State amount to
about 100000. There is room
for at least four times as many more
silos as the State possesses now. Ii
Kentucky had $4,000 silos the re-
sources of it's farmers as represent
ed by deposits in silo banks would
be increased to S25,0OO,0O0. Here
is one of the rocks on which must
be built Kentucky's future success
in dairying.
A silo is an indication OF good
farming ability. The best farmers
in every locality are likely to have
the best land, the best cows and the
best farm plan. An Illinois survey
showed that the labor income on
farms with silos was 1878 more
than on farms without silos. Per-
haps the silos were not responsible
for it all, but figures talk.
Kentucky farmers are among the
most progressive in the country and
when both their pride nd their pock-
et-book are concerned no one can
get ahead of them. Adding $780,
100000 to the deposits in the
farmers banks" is not too much OF
a Job. A good start can be made on
it this year.
Put money into the bank by bank
ing your corn crop in silos.

BOUQUETS FOR THE DOCTOR

In reading the accounts in the
State press it is rare to find any
movement in rural community
without the active aid and co-opera-
ton of the country doctor. Usually
he is the prime mover and the first
to enlist in any enterprise that may
be designed to promote the interests
of the community he serves. No
other yields as much influence or
commands a larger following in the
community.
Familiarly dubbed "Doc," the
country doctor frequently is called
upon to arbitrate differences be-
tween neighbors and discuss with
his people social and business prob
lens. Often he goes in for politics
and it is in this field that his power
in the community is wellnigh in
are sought in political matters and
when the votes are counted most of
the community is likely to be with
him. Sometimes he runs for office,
but in most cases he lets the other
fellows do the running while he
lines up the community for his
choice of candidates.
For the most part he has given
up his horseback riding and his
saddlebags filled with medicines for
an automobile, but the change ap-
creased rather than diminished his
sphere of influence among the peo-
pie in the rural sections of the
State.
