FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

J. A. Waldref is planting ten
acres of corn with two hand
planters.
w. Fl. Mann is raising some
expansion watermelons this year.
He says he will have them SO
large they will fill a two bushel
sack. By the way Mr.. Mann is
raising some more corn this year
and will show the Ward county
farmers what can be done with
that cereal. Last year he raised
200 bushels from three acres and
sold 100 bushels of seed to his
neighbors this year.
Heavy showers OF rain fell over
this part OF the state very gen
orally Saturday and Sunday.
Up until Sunday morning 1.6
inches OF water fell and there
were showers Sunday nearly an
inch fell Sunday night. The
rains were perfect soakers and
the thirsty ground soaked up
every drop Of the water. The
farmers have placed the price OF
their land five dollars per acre
higher. The rains came just in
the right time. Most Of the
wheat, oats, speltz, wheat and
millet is in. Thousands of acres
OF flax are in and considerable of
it is up. Where the ground is
well pulverized the grain will
grow SO fast that the ground
will soon be shaded and most OF
the moisture retained. We are
having much more rain this seas
on than last and everything;
looks a great deal more favor
able.

A Wise President.

presented to the foreign Office President
Rooseyelt's note on the subject of Vene.
zuelan arbitration. The president says
that although he is very gratifed at ths
confidence the powers have shown il
him by choosing him as arbitrator,
which position he would have accepted
il there were no other means of solving
the question, he thinks it better to sub
NIT the case TO The Hague tribunal
especially as all the powers concerned
are willing.
The president adds that as there is nc
question Of national honor or cession oil
territory involved, after thorough con.
sideration and in accord with all the
powers concerned, who have shown al
honorable spirit of mutual consideration
and moderation, he is glad to be inform,
ed that they all have agreed to submit
the question 20 The Hague tribunal.

The worst OF It.

A new horror is added to the story OF
that hideous lynching in Kansas by the
discovery that the murdered man prob
ably was innocent. The real murderer
Of the police officer, Hinkle, is now
believed to be Joe Cooley, a brother of
the man lynched. 1t has been dis
covered thai he is in hiding with a
wound and a posse is in pursuit Of him.
Lynching is bad enough at the best,
even when not attended with the fright
full t~ortures and multilation Of this case
The worst of it is that guilt never can
be considered absolutely certain, when
hasty and irregular r~etribution shuts
the door to investigation and defense.
There have been few cases of lynching
not Swallowed by the doubt Of innocence.
When doubt of innocence becomes GER
sanity, ms in this case, the horror and
disgust of this all is beyond expression.
1t is to be observed that the habit of
brutal lynching with torture is creep
ing slowly northward. These things
are not a matter Of race or locality but
of training in the virtues OF civilization.
Here il a good place for stern admins
fration Of the law to check the farther
spread Of hideous epidemic.
