ALBERT BOSKETT's
BODY DISCOVERED
Had Been Dead Beyond 20
Days; Odor Attracts
Searchers.

What was left of the remains of
Albert Boskett, was discovered by
Messrs. Thomas Bishop and A. II.
Hardin, Wednesday afternoon. July
26, in the Warden woods about one
mile below Centsrtown and between
quarter and a half mile south of
the l.. & N. r. r. 1t had been pret-
ty thoroughly fixed that the last time
Boskett had been seen alive. was.
on the morning of July 4th at the
crossing and it was believed, after
dilligent enquiry had been made,
amongst his relatives and friends
that he was dead, and probably in
that immediate section Bishop and
Hardin noticed an odOr from the vi
cinity of the railroad crossing and by
tracing same were led to the remains
which were in a horrible condition.
The flesh, what little remained un-
eaten by insects, was entirely decom-
posed, leaving nothing by which
Identification could be made, other
than a gold watch and the clothing
he wore at the time of disappearance.
Ten dollars in currency and some
war savings stamps were also found
in his pockets.
Coroner T. Fl. Pickeril was called,
an inquest held, and a verdict of
death from unknown cause" was
rendered.
Mr.. Boskett was So years old and
left no children. His wife died
some IL or Is months prior to his
death, since which time he had been
in depressed spirits, at times ex-
pressing himself as not caring par
ticularly as to further life. He had
apparently made himself a bed or
resting place with some vines etc.,
removed his trousers and replaced
his overalls, as to how death came
about absolutely nothing was left
from which to Judge.
Mr. Boskett was a good citizen and
possessed means sufficient to care
for himself under ordinary conditions
during the remainder of life, or for
many years.
Burial of the remains took place
yesterday afternoon at the Center
town cemetery.

TOBACCO GROWERS
MOVE TO ORGANIZE
First Meeting Is Held In Hartford
Tuesday, Temporary Off
GERS Selected.

Messrs. George II. Rudy, w. C..
Haycraft, and C.. A. Rogers of Ow-
ensboro, members of the organiza-
tion committee, Dark Tobacco Grow
ers Cooperative Association, were in
Hartford Tuesday, July 25, for the
purpose of starting an organization
in Ohio County. Several represen-
tative growers were in the meeting
at the courthouse and a temporary
organization was prfected by the
election of S. o. Keown as chairman
and Prof. w. p. Rhoads as secretary.
Lon Smith, L. B. Tichenor and T II.
Black were appointed as committee
on arrangements
At the adjournment of the meeting
1t was planned to have a mass meet
ing of Ohio County growers, at Hart
ford Thursday, Aug. 3rd. at 1880
p. m. At this meeting a permanent
organization is to be effected. Joseph
Passo nneau. ORGANIZATION Director,
will be present and address the gath
ering.
Tobacco growers thruOut Ohio
county, for the most part, already
are familiar with the workings of the
Cooperative association plan as con-
tracts have been scattered broad
cast through this paper and
others, and by circular and other
wise SO it would seem that every
grower should have his mind made
up as to his desires and what seems
best to do.
We are now not a grower Of the
weed. but many of our friends
and relatives are, and our Only de-
size in the matter is fer .heir success,
end after having inspected the con-
tract and heard of the flattering sue
cess of the plan in this State, in the
hurley district, and by similar. or
ganizations of producers of various
other products in other states, we
are constrained to believe that the
Cooperative Association is the one
agency by which the business OF
growing and marketing tobacco can
be stabilized.

MORGANTOWN TEAM
is BATTING FOULS

Morgantown, KY, July 81, 1922.
The Hartford Republican,
Dear Strive have been reading
your statements in the Hartford Re-
publican of the Rockport and Nor
gantown game. We wish to state
that the score in that game was and
2 in favor of Rockport, it was not
and nothing. We also wish to state
that Rockport has been beaten this
year by Morgantown 4 and 2.
The original agreement with the
Rockport Club was for series OF
seven games, and after playing three
games Rockport refuses to finish the
series. We can beat Rockport any
DAY, any PLACE and get fair deal
with everybody, except THE HART
FORD REPUBLICAN.
1t is also not true that Smith
struck out 12" Morgantown players
in the Beaver Dam game Sunday. He
struck out two.
We can beat any team in Ohio
Cuonty, or all teams combined, in
Guiding the Republican.
Now to be perfectly frank and fair
Gas all Republicans should) we wish
you would at least tell the truth
about these games, we live in Butler
County, and try to be fair in ball
game. We play with Ohio County
teams, in the true spirit, and have
splendid games. and are treated fair.
Then comes your paper and falsely
reports the results of these games.
We, of course, do not know whore
these reports come from but we do
ask for the truth and believe we are,
at least entitled to that.
Yours truly,
MORG GANTOWN BASEBALL CLUB.
By Agreement of all players.
We received the foregoing article
the latter part of last week, and print
same as received. presuming that 1t
was meant for publication. There are
spots therein in which the Republi-
can is rather hard hit, and falsely ac-
cused but we will, in all probability
live over il. To start out with. we
have never by act or word wished TO
give other than true reports as to
results of games played in Ohio Coun-
ty. or elsewhere, for the matter of
that.
We have never spoken derogatory |
OF the MorgantoNn team, collectively |
or individually. One of the games
complained Of, the Rockport game,
was reported to us by the manager |

GOOD RESULTS SHOWN
IN DAVIESS COUNTY

Owensboro, KY, July 26-Good re-
ports continue to come from differ
ent districts of this county in regard
to the dark tobacco pool.
SO far seventeen districts of the
niney-eight have been worked and
20 per cent to SO per cent of the
acreage in these has been signed to
the pool. At no place has the per-
centage fallen below 20 per cent.
Some of the chairmen will hold
their contracts until the intensive
drive is made the latter part OF this
month, and make their reports in full
at that time II is thought, how
ever, that beween 700 and 500 acres
we're signed he past week for the
pool.
Chairman William Haycraft and the
local committee are much encouraged
with the fruits of their labors so far.
as large acreage has already been
pooled.

OF that team. the statement as TO re-
suits, were given exactly as he gave
them to us by mail. Believing them
to be correct we accordingly publish
ed as given. If they were other
wise we had no means of knowing
them to be so. We therefore should
not be accused of giving the Morgan
town team an unfair deal. In con-
nectiOn with the Rockport- Morgan
town contests we do however recall
publishing the result of a game
wherein Rockport was defeated by
the score as stated, 4 to 2.
AS to the statement that Smith
struck out IL Morgantown batsmen,
tdat report was also received by us
through the mail, written by one
whom we supposed knew the facts.
If he, the reporter. is connected with
the Beaver Dam team we are not
aware of the fact, although he re-
sides in Beaver Dam.
We do our bets to get reports of
all games played in our County and
have gone to quite lot of trouble
to get them correct, being forced in
most cases to rely upon reports of
others, if we err it is in the reports
gathered and wholly unintentional.
But for any one, or any organization
of others to imply that we are in
tentionally unfair is, plainly speak
ing, a falsehood. AS above stated,
we had a high opinion of the Nor
gantown team. not only as a good
playing aggregation, but as indivi-
duals as we'll. and have so stated in
these columns and in person.

TO THE MEMORY
OF A TEACHER

John c. Barnard, about eighteen
years ago, attended the Bowling
Green Business University and went
to the Philippine Islands to teach. He
returned to us ten or twelve years
ago for postgraduate work and, after
spending nearly year here, start
ed back to the Philippines to resume
his duties and died aboard ship. Re-
Gently a gentleman was travelling in
the Philippines and accidentally
found a large monument erected to
the memory of John c. Barnard,
American Educator, Who Founded
the Schools of Panay Island" He
said there were also tablets in all
the schools of that Island put there
to the memory of Mr., Barnard. This
is very pleasing to those of us who
remember pleasantly the fine quail
ties of our late friend. -(The South
ern Exponent)
Mr.. Barnard was a son Of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Barnard and
was reared in Ohio County in the Lib
erty community Many near rela-
tives and friends. residents of the
County, yet survive.

was said, might facilitate the con-
cessions. even though Eastern lines
and those of the Southwest have pub
licly declared that the status of men
employed to replace the strikers
would not allow the grant of full
seniority to those who might return.
President Harding, it was said ..
would remain in intimate contact
with any steps which the Labor Board
might take. There was no conceal
ing that grave concern had been CIV
en- Government officials by verified
reports concerning the dwindling of
coal output.
Almost no new production has
been attained in Pennsylvania union
lied coal fields since troops prOtec-
tion has been furnished and nonunion
production in West Virginia. Tennes-
see and kentucky has decreased far
below June levels.
Miners, Operators May Confer.
The possibility was said to have
been advanced in the Cabinet session
that the President might call another
conference of the miners and union
officials and coal mine operators this
time including the spokesmen Of OPP
Grating associations in West Virginia
and Pennsylvania who were not will
ing to attend the former meetings.
President Harding was said to feel
that the bituminous industry had too
many miners and too many mines,
and TO have advanced a proposal that
wage contracts should hereafter
guarantee workers ESQ working days
a year, with a penalty clause against
employers who failed to operate
mines accordingly.
The plan met with scant favor. it
was said, when put before operators
and miners some weeks ago. 1t was
also pointed out that the miners
license requirements under Illinois,
Indiana and Pennsylvania State laws,
the latter applying particularly to the
anthracite region, made it impossible
to build up any new labor forces.
Further. the. President is inclined
to believe that the bituminous in
dustry conditions have arisen which
allow nearly 100000 men to be en-
ployed on q three-day-per week work
ing basis. at wage which makes
the situation agreeable to them.
He was said to consider this con-
trary to the whole scheme of life in
o nation where the balance of the
populaee works regularly. and to be
an impossible foundation on whi h to
a basic industry. Also in
the bituminous industry, labor cost
OF producing coal has been found by
to average about sew
per cent of the average
wholesale selling price, which the
government experts believe to be too
high a proportion to go to that one

GOVERNOR DENIES
SEEKING OFFICE
Morrow Challenge Post to Prove
Assertions True.

Frankfort, KY, July 25.-Deny-
ing that he has either publicly or
privately sought any other office
since he has been the governor of
Kentucky, Governor Morrow today
addressed a communication to the
Louisville Evening Post, challeng-
ing it to prove the truthfulness of an
editorial concerning a third federal
judicial district in which he was
charged with seeking another office
while governor of Kentucky. Gov
ernor Morrow also demanded of the
Post that Il explain a recent cartoon
carried under the heading "The Ven
triloquist."
"My attention has been called to
the editorial page of the Evening
Post of Saturday, July 1922. On
that page there is an editorial con-
cerning a third federal judicial dis
'trict in Kentucky. In those editorials,

ment. made at Frankfort that the
plum, If created, will go to Governor
Morrow" you make the following
specific charges in the following Ian
guage: $50 far as Gov rnor Morrow
is concerned, we do not see why he
can not wait until some vacancy is
created before he goes after another
office. The governor is most persis-
tent, however in tracking office.
From the day he assumed office at
Frankfort, the governor has been
casting his eye about for another Of
flee"
"The above statements are absO-
lutely false and are without any foun-
dation in fact. Since l have been
governor of Kentucky l have never
either publicly or privately, or at all,
sought any other office, nor have
publicly or privately announced my
self as a candidate for any other Of
flee. nor have | cast my eyes about for
another office, nor have l sought in
any way the judgeship of the district
referred to in your editorial. You

PRESIDENT MAY ASK
FREIGHT RATE CUT
White House Conference Ar.
ranged for May 20 to Consider
Situation.

The railroad rate situation will be dis
cussed by President Harding and If
teen railroad executives invited to dine
with the President May 20, according to
q White House announcement.
The President, 1t is understood, will
ask the transportation leaders to con-
slider the possibility Of adjusting rail-
road freight rates downward as volun-
tary matter, because the Interstate Com
merce Commission is said to have con-
cluded that it cannot legally compel re-
ductionS to an extent satisfying to Sec
tions of public and business sentiment.
Two semi-judicial government bodies
have Jurisdiction in railroad regula-
ton, the Railroad Labor Board and
the Commerce Commission. In the fix
ing OF wage rates which enter into
operating expenses President Harding.
however, Is said to have concluded, as
he did last fall. that the executives
might be Of some service in dealing with
the problem. The Commerce Commits
sion has held for weeks in its chamber
discussion over the decision to be
reached by it in the general investiga-
tion OF transportation rate levels.
President Harding mas been told that
the commission in adjusting rates is
obliged to give reasonable return" by
edict Of law to capital invested in nee
essary railroads under efficient and
economic management. and that this
requirement, notwithstanding recent in
creases in railroad earnings. ties the
hands Of the commission in attempting
to lower rates.
