MAIN STREET RICHMOND KY,
Interest in tbe Climax popular voting
contest is now at fever heat, and the
contestants and their friends are hust
ling for new subscribers and renewals in
a manner that is very interesting. They
realize that the one who wins tbe beau
tiful piano will get a prize worthy of
their efforts and they are doing all they
can to see that their favorite candidate
comes home ahead.
That capital prize is certainly worth
a lot of hustling goes without saying.
You will have to hurry to get your
votes in as the second count in this great
contest comes off Sa'urday.February 15,
the bonus votes hold good only until
then.
Don't wait. Keep right on hustling,
because, while you are laying off, some
one else may be working and getting the
new subscribers that you might have
had if you bad kept going. Ten dollars
in gold to the contestant making the
greatest gain since the first count; $5.00
in gold to the contestant making second
greatest gain. Th ballot box closes at
4 o'clock and the count will be made at
4:30.
At the same time don't forget the
merchants' coupons. Every time you
get forty of them you get an extra bonus
of 500. It does not make any difference
whether the coupons all come from one
merchant or not as long as you bring
them in, in bunches of forty.
It never pays to stop even to get your
breath. Just keep on going. Your
friends will see that you are doing your
best to win and will all turn in and help
you. Nothing comes to him who waits
and the ones who do the hustling are re
warded in the end.
The second count will be made on
Saturday afternoon, February 15, by the
judges.
Do not forget the prizes the mer

and have your votes all in by that time
so that you will have a fair chance to
show what your standing is.

The Popular Vote.-
The common belief that the presiden
I tial vote in 1312 was less than the presi
dential vole in 1908 is incorrect. Ac
cording to the ollioial figures compiled
for the World almanac the total vote
this year was 15.033,600, as against
14,883,412 four years ago, an increase
of 145,227.
But only the socialists profited from
this larger vote. They alone made
gains, and very significant gains. Debs
vote in 1908 was 420,793; id 1912 it was
900,672, an increase of more than 100
per cent.
As fu the Democrats, Wilson polled
a total of 6,293,454, as against Bryan's
total of, 6, 499, 101 in 1908, a decrease of
115,650. Straner still, the total vote
cast for Taft and Roosevelt was less
than the total Republican vote in 1903.
Taft's 1912 vo'e was 3,434,930 and
Roosevelt's was 4,119.533. Together
they polled 7,504,518, which falls 71,390
under Taft's total of 7,678,903 four
years ago.
Even the Prohibitionists suffered from
apathy. Their vote in November was
only 200,275 compared with 253,800.
This loss of 47,505 is nearly one-fifth of
the total
It is a curious fact that with the ex
ception of New Hampshire all the New
England states cast more votes in 1912
than in 1903. The middle states of
New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl
vania cast fewer votes in 1912 than in
1903. Ohio, Indiana Illinois, Wiscon
sin, Nebraska and Iowa also took less
interest in the 1912 campaign than in
the 1903 campaign. The same is true
of the border slates, Kentucky, Tennes
see and Missouri.
There's no uniform rule applying to
the south. Alabama, for example, cast
more votes tban in 1903 and Georgia
cast fewer votes. Texas showed a large
increase, while South Carolina a large
decrease, while Virginia's slump was
exactly 70 voles and Oklahoma's vas
839.
The mountain sta'es showed an in
crease. Colorado, (J tali. Wyoming.
Montana and Idaho cast more votes
than they did in 1908. By reason of
woman's suffrage, California's vote
should have doubled, but her 1912 vote
was only 673,527, as against 336,597 in
1903. Apparently nearly 100,000 quali
fied citizens of California remained
away from the polls.
The most significaLt fact in all these
returns is the increase and distribution
of tbe socialist vote. It is not a sec
tional voles, for tbe banner socialist
states in this election were Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Illinois, California, New York,
Oklahoma, Washington, Indiana, Wis
consin and Missouri in the order named.
bile in Idaho more than 10 per cent, of
the total vote was socialist. This is
something for Democrats and Republi
cans alike to think about serionsly.

Best Cough Medicine For
Children.
"I am very glad to say a few words in
praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remeny"
writes Mrs. Lida Dewey, Milwaukee,
Wis. "I have used it for years both for
my children and myself and it never
fails to relieve and cure a cough or cold.
No family with children should be with
out it as it gives almost immediate re
lief in cases of croup." Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is pleasant and safe to
lake, whicn is of great importance when
a medicine must be given to young chil
dren. For sale by all dealers. ad lm

which is shorthorn stock, is a fine spe

breeding good stock. Estill Tribune.
' No more cases of "forage fever" huve
been reported in this county since tbe
death from this trouble of 27 head of
horses and mules belonging to Charles
Thomas, of near Midway, whose loss was
abeut $5,000. Every animal affected
died. The trouble was identically the
same as ptomaine poisoning in a human
being. It was caused, velernarians say,
by mouldy ensilage from re-filled silos.
Woodford Sun.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. W.
Newman believes Kentucky butter can
be made as famous and distinctive as
Kentucky whiskey. He intends sending
a lecturer to county institutes urging
farmers to create a market in New York,
Chicago and other cities for Kentucky
butter and send it direct to the consum
er by parcel post. "This can be done by
proper advertising," he said. "The
country between Mt. Sterling and Louis
ville is tbe finest dairy land in the
United Slates on account of the pasture
and the climate. Tbe pasture gives the
butter a natural flavor and oolorthat can
not be equaled anywhere else. The cli
mate permits of pasturing for an unusually-
long period. I am convinced
that a reputation can be established for
'Kentucky butler' that will increase im
mensely the revenue of the farmers and
the wealth of the Slate."

The best thing you can do for your hair is tokeep it free from Jan-

be traced directly to the formation of JandruJ and to nesrVct of f
tho scalp. The powerful, yet harmless, antiseptic properties of J
HAIR TONIC
make it supreme in this respect. Its effect can be noticed af:er
' the first two or thre applications, and. if care is taken to avoid
re-infection of the scalp by unclean comb or brush, the occiunal
use of this tonic will keep the scalp in the prime of hf.il hy con
