WILL ALL HEAR 1T.
Supreme Court Will Pass Upon
Plumbers Trust Cases.

The Supreme court will hear the
plumbers trust cases in banc. They in
Volve the state antitrust law, and for
that reason the entire court will pass
upon them.
There are two of these cases, both be-
ing the outgrowth of the suit brought
against Christian States and other
plumbers by Durkin & Leahy for dam
ages, on the ground that the plumbers
had formed a trust in the shape of a
state association, and that it prohibited
Durlxin & Leahy from getting materials
with which to conduct their plumbing
business for the reason that the deal
ers in plumbers supplies were afraid to
sell to those not members of the orga-
nization for fear of a boycott.
Durlxin & Ieaby won in the Shawnee
county district court, and the plumbers
association was declared to be trust.
The case was appealed to the court OF
appeals and became the heritage of the
Supreme court when the court of ap
peals went out of existence.
The case came up for argument before
the Supreme court a few days ago. but
Judge a. l. Redden, who represented
Durllin & Leahy, had just got well in
was interrupted by the court.
Does this case involve any anti
trust law?' one of the justices inquired.
TT does" replied Judge Redden.
"Then the court desires to hear it in
banc,' said the Justice, land it will be
set for hearing at some future date

been discovered near the town and the
business men are quietly organizing "a
company for the purpose of prospect
ing.
Oil has been struck about nine miles
northeast of Kinsley at depth Of
feet by parties sinking a deep well TOR
water. The value of the find is yet
unknown, but considerable interest is
being manifested and the find will be
thoroughly investigated.
Report comes from Kansas that F..
Burleigh Johnson OF Topeka is at the

Remember, the nerves traverse the
entire body, and when they are out of
order, convey their trouble to some one
or more parts No living being can tell
just where the nerves will deposit the
trouble, but it is certain they will place
it somewhere in one or more organs.
In some cases disease is slowly built
up, for instance in the kidneys, or in
the brain, or perhaps in the bowels, and
does not make any violent show for
weeks or months, but is being piled
in slowly and surely. so that when
enough diseased cells are built to make
a showing, the trouble is so far gone
that many times it is impossible to
recover.
The only safe pathway for anyone
who cares for health, is to throw out the
poisonous drug coffee as soon as you
find some evidence Of incipient disease.

More than one-half of the people are

expensive work is necessary. In my
callow days I have had crab grass
get such dominion over a field of
matted rows that it cost nearly as
much to subdue as it should have
cost to hoe that field all summer.
The time to kill grass is before it
comes. Crab grass, the great foe of
the Southern strawberry grower,
has the lives of a cat, once that it
punches we'll. There is a saying
among North Carolina farmers that
you can't kill crab grass in August.
This grass punches if allowed to get
it's growth, which it does in August,
till it resembles a crab, hence the
reason.
In August the sun power weakens,
heavy dews increase and showers
are heavier, or at least, more lasting
in their effects than in earlier sum-
mer Under these conditions crab
grass is almost invulnerable to any
force thatp erspiring agriculture
can bring against it.
have in my time witnessed some
exceedingly humorous battles of be-
hind-hand growers against this in
vincible foe. First would come one
or two desperate attempts TO smother
by means of turning-plow the huge
punches as they waxed and grew
among the berries. This failing, an
onslaught with hoes would follow,
in which the punches we're dug,
chopped, belabored and shaken with
out @ but without avail. Har-
rowing was essayed but simply to
pile the grass, draw earth OF it and
give it a fresh start. Then comes
another charge and belabOring with
the hoes. Thus varying his modes
of onslaught the helpless grower
kept up the battle till driven to sur
render and leave the plants to their
fate. Now and then | have known a
plucky, irate fellow to finally lug
grass bodily from the field and leave
it to grow in the road and along the
fence corners. One-tenth of the
labor done on time would have killed
the grass before it came.
And, as before intimated, all this
cultivation is worth all it costs as a
conserver of moisture. In fact,
weeds and grass, in that they force
US to give the culture, r really
blessings in disguise.
