PURE FOOD LAW IS UPHELD
Associated Press1

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 6.-"We.
the jury, find that the flour seized was
adulterated.
1--WE. the jury, find that the flour
seized was misbranded."
These two verdicts were returned in
the federal court here today by the
jury that. for more than five weeks has
listened to testimony for and against
the charge of the government that the
625 sacks of flour bleached and sold by
the Lexington Mill and Elevator COM
pany of Lexington, Neb., and seized by
the government while in possession of
the purchaser, a grocer at Castle, Mo-,
were adulterated and misbranded.
The verdict, returned after seven
hours of deliberation, was a complete
victory for the government, which
prosecuted the suit under the national
pure food and drugs act.
The government charged that the
flour was adulterated in that it was
bleached by the Alsop process, which
makes use of nitrogen peroxide in
bleaching flour. Misbranding was
charged in that the flour seized was
labeled fancy patent, which the govern
ment contended it was not, because it
was not made from a first grade hard
winter wheat.
Bruse Elliott, chief counsel for the
millers, made the following statement
after the jury had reported:
This case was not one that should
have been tried by a jury. I called
personally upon President Taft and as
sured him all the millers desired was
a fair test case.
MILLERS WILL APPEAL
"The president assured me the millers
would not be harried and that fair
test should be had. Immediately there
after under orders of the attorney gem
eral, these seizures began in different
parts of the country. We started out to
defend the cases on the assumption
that the government would permit
them to be tried before referee.
president Roosevelt appointed a
board of scientific men for just such a
purpose, and the board has settled
many cases that came up under the
pure food law, such, for instance, as
the benzoate of soda case. But when
this case came to trial the attorney
general refused to let this board act
and insisted on jury trial.
Attorneys for the millers will file a
motion for a new trial within twenty
days. Arguments on it will be heard
by Judge Mcpherson about September
1. Millers say that the bleached flour
decision will handicap the farmers OF
the southwest to the extent of $15,000,-
900 to $1S,0OO,0OO a year. They say the
old differential of cents a bushel in
vogue in Chicago and st. Louis mar
kets will soon reappear. They further
say that farmers of Missouri, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Nebraska will lose
cents bushel on their present crop
and that hard winter wheat soon will
be selling at % cents bushel less than
at present. Already millers are consid-
ering the establishment Of bleaching
stations in states where the use of
bleached flour is not prohibited. Thus,
they say, they may avoid the interstate
commerce law.

J new MODEL HIGHWAY.

Hummelstown Pike, In Pennsylvania,
an Example For Road Builders.
A modern road is the Hummelstown
pike, near Harrisburg. Pa. 1t is made
of mixture Of water gas tar, CO.
ment, liquid asphalthum, road oil, car
bolic disinfecting powder, suiphate Of
copper and oil of wintergreen. The
sulphate Of copper is used to prevent
the oils from becoming ignited, and
the wintergreen counteracts the odor
OF the others. There is nothing dis
agreeable about the smell. A curious
effect of the mixture is its disinfect-
ing power During the past year
there was not single contagious dis
ease in that section. The cost Of ap-
plying the mixture is 51a cents a
square yard. The cement holds the
dirt together like stone, and the oils
make it waterproof. so that it readily
sheds water. The road is never mud
dy and. unlike tar road. does not be-
come slippery in winter time. Frost
has no effect on it at all. as the mix
ture will not freeze. The cost of ap-
plying is very small. as it is sprinkled
on like water. That the method and
the mixture are perfect successes has
been shown the past summer. Despite
fic, the road is perfectly smooth and
very hard, and it has met the test in
every way.

Enqlish Highway Policy.

Two points in the recently proposed
British bill to provide for the economic
development of the United Kingdom
and the improvement of the roads
therein are worthy Of notice in the
United States. The program of the
bill provides for special motor roads to
be exclusively or chiefly for the use of
motorcars, the road board having au.
thority to improve existing roads or to
construct new roads for that purpose.
The board may acquire land for this
purpose by right Of eminent domain
and may also acquire land adjacent
thereto for width 800 yards distant
from the middle of the road. which
land they may SELL lease or control. the
Increment therefrom being used fol
the maintenance or construction of this
class of highways.

ment was given against the defendants
for $4,000. An appeal was taken

grounds, but the second award wa
even higher than the first -S13.75
Now third trial has been granted.
1t was shown in court that Sears,

OUR HIGHWAYS THE WORST.

Englishman Declares That He Found
No Such Poor Ones Elsewhere,
While on a visit to this country re-
Gently Robert H. Jackson of Walburn
Lodge. London, had during an inter-
view occasion to criticise the condition
OF our highways. Mr.. jackson said:
mo country l have visited has such
poor roads as the United States. This
Is surprising to me. for II there is any
improvement nation can make that
pays for itself it is the building of
first class highways. l spent several
weeks in lndiana-at Terre Haute-
and as l am interested largely in farm
ing l made frequent trips through the
surrounding country. Some of the
roads were six inches deep in dust,
and In the winter. l doubt not, this
dust becomes sludge. How the farm
ers can get to market with their crops
Is beyond me. Your roads wherever
have been are generally very bad. In
England we have excellent roads. as in
other countries Of Europe.
Road building and road improve
ment are done through the township
unit system. Nearly every township
has one or more steam rollers. and the
cost of improving the roads or building
new ones is borne by the property
owners in proportion to the valuation
OF their holdings. Most of the modern
roads Of England have a foundation of
brick-not Of ordinary brick, but brick
OF large size. Upon this foundation are
placed several inches of soil and on
top Of this soil bluestone. which is
ground into the soil by means of the
steam rollers. This makes first class,
durable road that will keep in good
condition during all seasons of the
year. Over here most of the roads are
made by simply turning the turf and
grading. At least that is how they i'm
pressed me-"

Some Good Roads Pointers.

Good roads mean as much as good
crops to the farmers.
If macadam roads are to be main
tanned at their best, the Sprinkling cart
is a daily necessity.
The longer the delay in building good
roads the greater the cost.
Until produce is hauled to market it
isn't really produced.
If the road is poor. good horses and
rood vehicles count for little.

Illegal to Hire Primary Workers.

Attorney General Hal Norwood has rendered an opinion to the eff feet that it is in violation of the law for candidate to hire any per- son to work for him at a primary election. and that while it IS not a violation of the law for a Republi- can or Socialist to vote in a Demo- cratic primary, the law gives the right to the Democratic party to say who shall vote in it's primay.
 In his opinion Attorney General Norwood says the act has never been passed upon by the courts, and he could not undertake to con- strue with any degree of certainty, it's several provisions. He is posi- tive, however, in his opinion that it is a violation of the law for a can didate to use money directly or in directly to influence his nomina- tion.

Story of an Arkansan Farm.

The traffic department of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain railway system after reading "A Story of an Arkansas Farm" n the Saturday Evening Post, saw in it another big stroke for the New Ar kansas, or, perhaps. we should say the old Arkansas and her possibili- ties better understood.
 Acting on this impulse, they at once set to work to spread b, oad- cast throughout the Northern and Eastern states and. with the per mission of the editor. Mir George Horace Lorimer, have put the sto- " into booklet form. A large edition has been printed for distri- button as above stated, but it has just occurred them that people al ready in Arkansas would appre- ciate knowing how much joy one new conner has found in building a home in this state.
 To anyone interested they will take pleasure in sending A Story of an Arkansas Farm" because the simple and practical methods therein set down point the way for others who lcng to have farm of their own.

The following from an ElavIlle. Ga. paper will interest our read CTS. as the deceased was married here last summer to Miss Grace Terrell. daughter of our townsman, w. T. Terrell:.
 Our county and town was thrown into deepest sorrow on last Saturday morning by the announce ment of the death of Franklin Giles which occurred Saturday morning at the home of his father, L. A. Giles.
 The cause of MT. Giles death was gun shot wound inflicted on last Thursday. MT. Giles in com pany with Ed Willis were shooting fish in Usry's mlll pond when. in some unknown manner, the gun in the hands of MT. Willis was acci- dently discharged and the whole load lodged in Mir. Giles hip. He was taken immediately to the home of his father and medical assistance called, but the wound proved fatal, his death resulting Saturday.
 Mir, Giles was just entering into manhood when his tragic death oe- cured and leaves young wife to mourn his loss.
 He was young man of excel lent character and had many warm friends.
 The deplorable accident cast a gloom of sadness over the county. Mir. Willis was nearly prostrated with grief.

4 Card from D. D. Cutler.

To the Voters of Union County:
 Owing to my position with the Sewer Improvement District in Fl Dorado 1 have been unable to make the rounds over the county with the other candidates.
 l would have liked very much to have had this chance of getting acquainted with the people over the county. as am practically a stranger outside of Fl Dorado. Nevertheless, should 1 have had an opponent it would have been al most impossible for me to have neglected my duties here and gone on the canvass.
 I believe will make as good a surveyor as Union county ever had and will always be found ready and willing to answer all calls regard less of where wanted.
 You vote will be appreciated. D. D. CUTLER.
