JUDGE REMOVED FROM OFFICE
Acquittal Of Herr Harden Brings
Punishment to Jurist Presiding.
Incident 10 One that Happened a
Few Years Ago When Judge
Schmidt Was Transferred.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-ORe Of the most aston
ishing features of the Harden libel trial
is the removal of Judge Kern, who pre-
sided at tie first trial. which ended in the
acQuittaI Of the editor of the Zukunft.
The removal took place just before the
judges at the second trial found Herr
Harden guilty. and sentenced him to four
months Imprisonment and the payment
Of the heavy law costs
It is stated that Judge Kern was trans
ferred 10 another department Of the
ministry OF justice "at his own request,
but there is a general impression that
other reasons contributed 10 his down
fall, TO which his removal amounts. The
incident is all the more striking as
similar thing happened few years ago.
when Judge Schmidt who presided at
trial at which Herr Harden was acquitted
of the charge OF lese majestic was like
wise removed from the judicial bench and
transferred to another department of the
ministry Of justice.
Commenting in the Tageblatt on the
removal of Judge Kern, Judge Gaulke
says: Il refrain from expressing any
opinion 10 what extent the removal In
fiUenced the judges Of the Criminal Court
at the second triai-of course, uncon-
sci0usly. Judge Gaglke further states
that he believes that the Criminal Court
was unconsciously influenced by the
knowledge that the public prosecutor in
teTVened to bring about Herr HaTdeus
conviction I'm response 10 orders received
from above Judge Gauike thinks that
the Supreme Court OF the empire will be
obliged to grant Herr Harden's appeal
against the sentence OF the Criminal
Court.
Die Welt am Montag protests strongly
against Judge Kerns removal. declaring
that the German public is alarmed by
such incidents. which appear to indicate
that the judges are not independent. but

Misfit Education

The educators and parents who are
now renewing the old struggle for a
thorough revision of the high school
curriculum have taken as their guild
ing maxim "a place for everything.
and everything in it's place" An ex-
cellent principle it is, especially de-
serving of application to the task of
high school education in these days,
when impulsive apostles of liberal
education" are trying to find a place
for everything in high school cata-
logue without concerning themselves
very seriously over the vexatious
problem of putting courses in proper
places. The appeal must be needed.

ply for the sake of the young people
who are seeking an education, but

Tattooing Very Popular in the Navy

Farenholt's opinion, the custom is
more common In camps and in places
where men are collected in large num-
bers than is imagined.
The report contains statistics re-
garding the location of tattoo marks
and the frequency of various designs.
Letters, notices, initials and allied de-
vices lead the list and constitute about
26 per cent of all ink marks. Coats Of
with about Is per cent, then flags,
anchors, etc. Female figures are
shown in Is per cent. of all tattooing.
The usual types were found among
them, such as "Holdfast" "a letter on
the back of each finger); apprentice
knot; pig on dorsum of foot, which,
among the older men, was supposed to
shield its possessor from death by
drowning; crucifix, which in case of
death would insure burial ia Chris
tian country, and Jerusalem cross"
which would answer the same purpose
on Moslem shores. OF the latter DIR.
Farenholt found IA, all in re-enlisted
men. One man was adorned with
sock covering each foot and extending
above the ankle; another with fox
hunting scene. In one case the entire
back was covered by large Masonic
column and globe. Little Egypt" fig-
ured in two cases and copy of beer
trademark in one. Designs showing
the Goddess of Liberty, ships, eagles,
pigs and apprentice knots were found
to be more popular on re-enlistment
than among those who came directly
from civil life.

Taking Care of Tools.

The care Of farm machinery is a
vital point with many farmers. You
will scarcely see one in twenty who
seems to think it worth his while
to take proper care of his farm tools.
No one can expect to make a success
Of farming unless he has the proper
tools and keeps them in proper shape
There is twice as much money paid
out for farm machinery as would be
necessary if the proper care was TAX
en- with implements. Every farmer
should have all the tools he needs,
and not have to be running over to
Mr.. Jones' to get Mr.. Smiths corn
stalk cutter. Nine times out of ten,
Mr.. Smith has let Mr.. Somebody Else
have it, SO there it goes. Time lost,
and time is money these days.
You don't see doctor or dentist
running over to his neighbours office
to borrow some instrument, nor do
you ever see anything out of it's place.
Doctors have a place for everything,
and as soon as they are through using
an instrument it is rubbed up and put
in it's place. This is the first step to
success.
Now don't see why farming is not
and should not be just as successful
as any other calling. But it will never
be until the farmers take more pains
in keeping the proper machinery and
that in the best of shape.
Everyone who has ever farmed at
all knows what job it is to rig UP
cultiVator when you get ready to
pillow corn in the spring. First, where
is the cultivator? It's away over at
the back of the field where we quit
blowing corn last year; SO here we
go with old Beck or Kate after it, hitch
to it and come poking back to the
house. We find that it has sweeps
on It; we want shovel p1ows. Now
where are they? We hunt around
for an hour or two and find them in
fence corner where the hired man
had thrown them down. They have
no bolts in them, and there is more
hunting to do, and maybe a trip to
the shop. So, after ali is ready for
work, we have lost about half a day
that means something.
This condition should not exist, and
as long as it does farming will not
be as successful as it should.-Farn

Demand for Iona STAPLE.

1t is not generally known to South
ern farmers that a new demand for
cotton requiring several hundred thou.
sand bales annually has sprung up in
the last year or two. We refer to
the heavy and ever increasing demand
for good grades for the manufacture
of automobile tires.
It is estimated that the present de.
mand from that source alone is be
tween 100000 and 100000 bales. Au.
tomobile tires are very expensive, the
ordinary life being from four to six
months. There are hundreds of thou
sands Of these tires now in use, and
the demand is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The high or low cost of a
pound of cotton is hardly felt by the
manufacturers. The demand is here
for all the cotton we can grow this
season at very high prices, and If
the farmers who grow both the short
and long staples will only market their
crops slowly and stand firmly together
in demand for the true values, they
can whip the fight and secure a just
tribute for the products Of their Ia

There are thousands of Landlords In

able assistance to the tenants in put

ing and cultivating reason which will
meet the necessary requirements for
the needed supplies on each farm. A
general observance and adoption OF
this rule by the average land owner
in the South who has his land culti-
waited by troopers and tenants will
serve two good purposes, VIZ: It
would put each individual on the farm
on spot cash basis and break up the
crop lein system and put the dispo-
sition of the crop each fall in the
hands of the landlord. There would
be no mortgages to foreclose if the
cotton was not promptly sold and store
accounts liquidated. The crop from
each farm could be stored and the
warehouse receipts turned over to the
landlord, or enough to Offset the debt
between the landlord and the tenant.
This cotton could either be held in
case of depression in the cotton mar
ket or sold slowly IL the prices were
satisfactory. In addition to this it
would serve to give the land owners
better control of the management Of
their farms and also encourage each
tenant or cropper to diversity and
raise more food supplies. The land.
owners should encourage this policy
because it would mean better farm
methods, an improvement of the land

ture and more prosperous and better
satisfied and eontented tenants.
A charge of ten per cent on the
money advanced by the land owner
to his tenants would give satisfactory
returns, and would be far better for
the tenant than paying forty to fifty
per cent on credit prices often charged
by the supply merchants. A land own
er furnishing money to his tenants
would naturally preach the doctrine of
diversification and economy, while the
average merchant will insist upon an
extensive acreage in cotton and en-
courage as large accounts as the risk
will admit. We know of a good many
land owners who in recent years have
adopted this policy with'their troopers
and tenants, and in every instance
such farms are on a self-sustaining
basis, and the business is strictly sat
