10 UP TO THE FARMER.
A Reduction Of Acreage and Fertilizer
an Ahsolute Necessity.

- EAVG0SkA0H W fN%s~N%HN N"'~
an Absolute Necessity.
TgAs agricultural department of Ala
bam& and other states show in recent
reports that the sale Of fertilizer
tags in Alabama during the season oil
10QA-1905 shows an increase of 1000
tons over the season of 190S-19O4.
The commissioner Of agriculture OF
Georgia has issued a similar report,
In which he shows that the sales OF
fertilizer tags in Georgia this season
exceed those of last year by more
than 500 tons.
"These reports" says M. L. John
son, president of the Georgia division
Of the Southern Cotton Association,
put the cotton situation right up to
the farmer, in order for the purposes
of the association to be carried out,
it is absolutely necessary for the farm
er to reduce his cotton acreage and
the amount Of fertilizer used.
"I say the situation is up to the
farmer, because it is the farmer who
will suffer if the crop is not reduced,
without a reduction, the price of cot
ton will be lower than the cost of
production, and the farmer will find
himself in debt. With low price this
year, the interests of the entire south
will suffer
"The farmers of Georgia must re-
duce their acreage. Let it not be
said of Georgia that she did not join
heart and soul in the movement which
means the salvation of the southern
cotton grower"

Buffer Block"

New York, May 16.-Trade has
succeeded in invading what residents
of upper Fifth avenue have called the
Buffer block between Forty-seventh
and Forty-eighth streets on the west
side of the avenue. and there is a feel
ing of dismay over the discovery that
the barrier has again been broken in
the march of business houses north
ward along that thoroughfare.
An upholsterer is reported to have
secured a lease on property in the
block mentioned and will build six
story Office building. A tailoring
establishment is to occupy an erst-
while fine residence on the plot beside
the office structure.

SAYS WOMAN LIED.
Justice Who Tried Nan Patterson
Comments on the Case.

New York, May 16.-Somewhat to
the establishment of those present at
the monthly dinner of the Pf Delta Phi
club, an organization of lawyers, JUS
tice Vernon NJ. Davis of the supreme
court of the state of New York who
was the guest of honor, gave his opin-
ion as to the guilt of Nan Patterson,
while making an argument in defense
of Assistant District Attorney Rand
who had prosecuted the young woman
at her three trials for the murder of
Caesar Young. Justice Davis, who
presided at the first two trials of the
former chorus girl, said that she had
lied from beginning to end, and it was
his opinion the majority of the COM
munity now believed Miss Patterson
shot; that ]. Morgan Smith bought
the weapon and gave it to her, charg-
ing her at the same time with the duty
of soaring Young.
In the middle of the Justices re-
marks the reporters were asked to
leave the room, but before they had
reached the door they were called
back by the speaker who said that he
left it to their discretion as to just
what parts of his speech were to be
used.
I'VE have heard great deal in the
public press of late of severe criticism
OF Mr.. Rand and his conduct of the
trial." said the justice. you can't
prosecute a criminal without telling
what you believe to be the truth. In
the second trial before me the de-
PENDANT went on the stand and it was
quite obvious that she was telling
ifalsehoods from beginning to end.
The very air seemed charged with the
fact that she was lying yet she was a
woman She was young. It was
natural that the public should sym
pathize with her. People seemed to
know she was not telling the truth
and the great public of New York
said:
why shouldn't she lieq Let her
lie. Let her get the benefit of her
lies
But today in the light of the last
disagreement feel sure most people
are nvinced=that a majority of the
people believed she held the pistol
that killed Caesar Young; was dis
charged by her. was bought by J.
Morgan Smith, in an attempt to get
money from Caesar Young for the
support of the combined family.
IT don't mean to say she took the
pistol from the reticule and shot him
in the side, but do believe that she
had the pistol and showed it to Caesar
Young. An argument followed and he
versation and consequent struggle the
pistol went off and the man was
killed

told the story on the witness stand as
it happened-in other words, had she
told the truth that second jury would
have acquitted -

SAID SHE WAS LADY ELLIOTT.
Chicago Woman Claims to Have
Known 'sVeiled'' Nurderess.

Chicago, May 16.-The veil of mystery
which for more than half a century hid
the identity of the yelled nurderess, "
who died in prison at Mattewan, N. Y,
/ has been lifted by the hand of Mrs.
Charlotte P. Norris 1926 Newport ave
nue., Chicago. The so-called yelled
murderess" was a classmate of Mrs.
! Norris at the famous Willard school at
Troy, N. Y, sixty years ago.
| The maiden name of the woman, who
has been a puzzle to the authorities
ever since her arrest for murder in 1853,
was Charlotte Ward. She married an
| Englishman of rank, Sir Walter F.
! Elliott but she ran away from his
home in England two years after the
marriage She came back to America
to find the house of her father, a wealthy
Canadian merchant, shut against her.
Mrs. Norris, though under no obliga-
ton to do so, has kept her knowledge
of the identity of the "veiled murderess"
a secret through all the years since her
arrest and conviction on the charge Of
killing Timothy Lanigan and Catherine
Lubee in Troy, n. Y, ffty-two years
ago.
The Chicago woman went to Sing Sing
prison more than thirty years ago to see
Lady Elliott, then a prisoner at that in
] stitution. She was with her for an
/ hour When Mrs. Norris came from her
talk with the woman convict. the prison
authorities begged her to tell them who
! their charge was. She declined, know
/ ing that her old schoolmate did not
then wish her identity known.
Lady Elliott was convicted under the
name of Mrs. Henrietta Robinson. Dur
| ing the trial she wore a heavy veil,
and said she would be willing to take
| any verdict rather than to remove it.
| At the close of the trial she lifted the
veil. smiled at the jury and again hid
her face She was sentenced to be
hanged, but this was afterwards COM
muted. and she was sent to the Au-
/ burn state hospital for the insane and
| later to Mattewan. Even to the ply
sfcfans who attended her during her
last illness she refused to reveal her
identity. Only once had she ever said
anything about herself and that was
when she told a physician she came
from the British royal family.

GREAT CHANGE
From Change In Food.

The brain depends much more on
the stomach than we are apt to sup
pose until we take thought in the
matter. Feed the stomach on proper
food easy to digest and containing the
proper amount of phosphates and the
healthy brain will respond to all de-
mands. A notable housewife in Buff
falo writes:
1.-THE doctor diagnosed my trouble
as a nervous affection of the stomach
j was actually so nervous that I could
not sit still for five minutes to read
the newspaper and to attend to my
household duties was simply impos-
slble. / dOctOred all the time with
remedies, but medicine did no good.
MY physician put me on all sorts
OF diet, and / tried many kinds of
cereal foods but none of them agreed
with me. I was almost DISCOURAGED

that it would succeed where every
thing else had failed
But it did succeed, and you don't
know how glad I am that I tried it.

Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason.
Now why was this great change
made in this woman?
The stomach and the brain had not
been supplied with the right kind of
food to rebuild and strengthen the
nerve centers in these organs. It is
absolute folly to try to do this with
medicine. There is but one sure way
and that is to cult the old food that
has failed and take on Grape-Nuts
food which is more than half digested
in the process of manufacture and is
rich in the phosphate of potash con
tanned i'm the natural grain, which
mites with albumen and water-the
only three substances that viii make
up the soft gray filing in the thous-
ands Of delicate nerve centers in the
brain and body. Grape-Nuts food is
sure road back to health in all such
cases.

BATTLE is STARTED.
Chicago Job Printers Open the Contest
for Hour Day.

Chicago, May 16.-The first skirmish
in a fight for an eight hour day is on
between the job printers and their en-
ployers. Conferences during several
days will eliminate this afternoon in a
meeting between a committee from Ty-
geographical Union No. 16 and the Chi
cago Typothate.
There are 2, 400 job printers in Chicago
and they compose the advance guard of
all union printers in this country who
are seeking to establish the eight-hour
work day by January 1 of next year.
They have a plan of gradual reduction
of hours which provides for the short
ening of the time by 20 minutes every
three months until next January.
The employers will be asked today to
agree to this proposition but the re-
quest will be denied.

BAKERS STRIKE.
They Are Now Demanding an Eight
Hour Day.

New York, May 16.-Delegates of the
Hebrew Bakers union have begun to
order strikes in the Hebrew bakeries to
force an 8-hour work day. Since the
United States supreme court rendered
its decision declaring the ten hour law
unconstitutional, the employing bakers
are said to have been working their
men eleven and twelve hours a day.
Strikes Of 400 or 500 bakers already
have been ordered in ten shops and
about 1 1000 more men will quit today.
Some of the masters have conceded the
demands.
