SCIENCE AND COTTON.

The efforts of the national De- partment of Agriculture to in- crease cotton culture yields through improved soil prepara- ton, cultivation and fertilization are meeting with gratifying re- suits. D. k. Swaty, a special ag- ent Of the department whose station ia at Cove, gives the fol- lowing instances of increased yields through improved seeding, cultivation and fertilization.
 k. N. Swis Of Hamburg pro- duced 1O.777 pounds of seed cot ton this season on five acres, which ginned out seven and a half 3OO-poundS bales. He kept 30 bushels for his own use and sold the remainder at S1 bus hel

Hip pockets in mems trousers were first devised by some Sou thern tailor shortly before the Cival War. The first hip pocket was made about the proper size to carry a half pint flask of F. quOr, and that was the purpose for which it was intended by it's inventor. Later they were made in pint and quart sizes, and were worn on both the nigh and off sides and the pockets thus locat- ed sprang into instant favor. You may not have found much use for the hip pockets in your trousers. That is an indication that you are a respectable man, for the reputation of the hip pocket is c,ouded Besides being a recep- tac,e for various brands of li- quor, it has also been noted as the abiding place of concealed pistols, knucks, slung- g-shots, and other deadly weapons. It is where the gambler carries his cards, and the bad boy hides the "makings." If you have found no other use for hip pockets than a convenient place for handker- chiefs, yours are more innocent than most hip pockets

CHOCTAW STRIP QUESTION.

An important ease that will probably go to the Supreme Court within the next three months will be decided today by Judge Daniel Hon of the Twelth judicial circuit at Fort Smith. The case is one that involves the jurisdiction of the Arkansas courts over crimes committed in the Choctaw strip, the small ac- reage, contiguous to Fort Smith.
 The question at issue arose over an indictment recently re- turned by the Sebastian County Grand Jury against William Bowman charging him with an assault Bow mans attorney claims that the strip is a part of Oklahoma, and that therefore the indictment is invalid, and he cannot be tried by a court in Ar kansas. The case was argued Thursday, and at the conc,u- sion Of the argument Judge Hon announced that he would render his decision today. The argu- ment was exclusively on the question of jurisdiction.
 Should the case be decided in favor of the state it is believed an appeal will be taken to the Arkansas Supreme Court and that eventually the question of the ownership of the strip will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

DAVIS PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
Attempt Made to Secure His Release
Under Bonds.

Des Moines.-M. E. Davis, who shot
his young wife and City Physician J..
E. Miller, was arraigned in criminal
court and pleaded not guilty to an in
dictment for murder in the first de-
gree. His attorney, John B. Sullivan,
will seek to have him released from
the county Jail under bonds. The
law provides that persons indicted for
"a capital offense may give bail when
the presumption Of innocence is
strong. Attorney Sullivan will con-
tend that the evidence before the
grand jury did not warrant an indict-
ment for murder in the first degree,
as it showed Davis was drunk and his
crime was not premeditated
Judge McHenry fixed the bonds in
the case for assault to murder DR..
Miller at $4,000. 1t is said that if
the court allows bonds in the murder
charge, Davis will have no difficulty
in raising the necessary amount.

Practical Farmers Wanted

Special to Audubon County Journal:
Uncle Sam has 4l2 choice 4O-acre
farms in Montana which he offers to-
day, on very easy teIms, to practical
farmers who are citizens of the Uni
ted States.
These farms are in eastern Monta-
ma, in the beautiful valley of the Yell
lowstone River, one of the richest a
gricultural sections of the Northwest.
Zach is located within 3 miles of a
railroad, and each is irrigated by one
of the best irrigation systems in the
world.
The lands lie at an elevation of 5000
feet above sea level. The climate is
delightful, the soil of exceptional fer
tility, producing abundant crops when
watered. Wheat, oats, rye, barley
and alfalfa are the principal crops
grown. Alfalfa yields tons per acre
and is selling today at SIS per ton in
the stack. Apples, small fruits and
vegetables do we'll here. An espe-
cially profitable crop is sugar beets,
which last year in the valley yielded
nearly $50 per acre net when properly
cultivated.
Detailed information concerning
the available lands and terms may be-
obtained by addressing the Statisti-
clan, U. S. Reclamation Service,

WILLIAM LEWIS DEAD
An Old Settler Indeed. First Settled
Near Temp1eton in 1874, then
Moved Near Gray in 1890

During the gold excitement of
1949 thousands of men from
all over the world started in every
imaginable vehicle from the ship
that rounded "The Horn" or
meandered thru the Straits of Ma
gellan, to the schooner under close
reef the motive power of which was
the yoke of oxen or perhaps yoke
or two of cows with the alert driver
beside them with the rifle in one
hand and gourd in the other,-all
headed for the newly discovered
gold fields of California and seek
ing enough OF that valuable metal
to get start in life. Somewhere
mixed in that great throng conld
be found the subject of our sketch,
William Lewis.
He braved the dangers of the
trip across the desert with the
bullet of the Indian and the prairie
fire always in anticipation. The
land of promise reached and way
to live provided, we find Mr.. Lewis
faithfully delving into the earth
for that richness 80 craved by man.
kind. His mission ended we find
him again in "the states" and
settled in Wisconsin but soon Iowa
was offering come great induce
ments to actual settlers. Mr.. Lewis
came with his family to Carroll
county and settled near Templeton
where for many years he lived and
enjoyed the privilege of the pio-
neer but when the Chicago & st.
Paul Railway came thru his section
and the land values reached such
heights, Mr.. Lewis sold the old
farm and soon thereafter bought
the A. D. Lilly place near Gray
where for about eighteen years he
has lived easily and happily en-
joying his declining years.
MIR. Lewis leaves to mourn his
demise, his beloved wife, three
daughters,-Mrs. Tucker of Ded-
ham and the Misses Libbie and
Bertha at home; and four sons
William at home, John of Manning,
Tom and George of Wyoming, and
Dee, a grandson, was raised from
infancy by Mr.. Lewis and family.
Another daughter, Mrs. Sherm
Hudson, the mother OF Dee passed
over the river few years ago. Mr..
Lewis and family are personal
friends of the Journal family and
lived near each other for many
years. His life was one of happi-
ness and contentment and was
always pleased to do neighborly
act to his fellowman While pass
ing thru his declining years he
has left us bright trail of splen-
dor that equals the setting sun.
Goodbye old friend, we know you
are safe within the fold.
