GOOD YIELD IN JOHNSON
One Careful Farmer Will Get Unusual
Returns.
SMALL GRAIN GOES 81 BUSHELS
one Yield Of oats WIN Average sew
enty-Eight Bushels 90 Acre
Result of Careful study
of Conditions.

TECUMsEH, Neb., July SO.-(Special.)-
That good farming invariably pays over poor
farming has been very clearly demonstrated
this year in the case of Herman Ernst jr.,
proprietor of the Wolf Creek stock farm
of this county This Is the farm which be-
came famous when II was managed by VIII
liam Ernst Of this city, when alfalfa and
other grasses we're given experimental work
on II and at a time when alfalfa was a
comparatively new grass.
This is a year OF uncertain results from
an agricultural standpoint in Johnson
county, and yet more remarkable results
are reported from the Wolf Creek farm.
Seventy acres of small grain made 1896
bushels, or an average of slxty-one and a
third bushels to the acre. Ten acres of
wheat yielded 267 bushels, or an average of
twenty-slx and seven-tenths bushels per
acre. Twenty-elght acres Of wheat partly
winter killed and drilled to oats, made 1,5oS
bushels, or an average Of fifty-three and
seven-eighths bushels per acre (wheat and
oats mixed, Thirty-two acres of oats made
2,450 bushels, machine weight, and this does
not include seventy bushels, or thirty-five
shocks which were accidentally burned be-
fore threshing In the field. The average
yield of oats In this field was seventy
eight and three-quarters bushels per acre
which is easily equal TO eighty bushels
actual weight This thirty-two-acre field
two years ago made over seventy-five
bushels of corn to the acre-a year wher
the average corn crop in this section was
less than one-half of a normal crop. These
excellent yields are explained, in part a.
least, by the superior farming that IL
carried on at Wolf Creek and of the
thorough understanding Of the work.

France Worried
About Liberian
Plan Of America
United States Has Not Communicated
Details of Project to that
Country or England.

PARIS, July 9.-While satisfied that
neither a protectorate over nor the annex
alton of Liberia is contemplated in the pro-
posed plan of the government of the United
states toward raising a loan OF sl,bOOOOO
to be used TO consolidate Liberals debt on
sound business basis, some lnduletude
Is manifested in government circles over
exactly what Secretary Knox contemplates
in the premises.
The United States has not communicated
the details Of the project to either France
or Great Britain. France, like other powers,
has approved the financing of loans in the
United States, England, France and Ger
many to aid Liberia, but IL the guarantees
Involve the administration of Liberals Gus
toms, etc. there is reason to believe that
France Will consent only provided the other
three powers shall participate on an equal
footing with the United states. It is pointed
out here, that the situation in Santo Do
mingo, where the United States is ad-
ministering the customs and paying off
that republics debt, is not a parallel case
with Liberia, because Santo Domingo is
within the sphere covered by the Monroe
doctrine.
The Temps in an article dealing with the
question, Says
with SOO knometers OF common frontier
In Guinea and the Ivory coast colonies
France could not allow the United States
which, on the other side Of the Atlantic
is so careful to defend the principles OF
non-intervention, to assume a position ir
Africa where it might have to treat with
European powers. For the present 1t Il
only the question of placing a loan, but
the guarantees exacted might easily LEAD
to disguised political Intervention"
| Some Of the other newspapers severely
critcise Secretary Knox, calling hin
Americas romantic secretary of state.
The Franco-Liberian delimltation commits
sion has reached complete agreement
which now requires only the ratification
of the two governments.

Population of
Oklahoma State
is Sixth Larger
Gains at Least One New Congressman
Substantial Increase in Num-
Der of Negroes.

WASHINGTON, July SO.-The director Of
the census announced tonight that the total
population of the state of Oklahoma, lack
ing three enumeration districts, is 1,65l,s5l,
as compared with 1,4l4,177 according to the
special census of 1907 showing an increase
since 1907 of 1873 per cent.
In presenting the figures, the director Of
the census made the following preliminary
statement:
TN view Of the fact that an election is to
be held on August in the state OF Okla
homa, with reference to a constitutional
amendment bearing on the suffrage, which
is expected to affect principally the negro
race, the director Of the census has deemed
1t desirable to make a preliminary an
nouncement of the population of the state
OF Oklahoma and of the negro population
of the state The figures are subject to re-
vision"
The figures show the total negro popu-
laton of the state to be 1886, as com
pared with 112, l60 in 1907 In 1907 the negro
population constituted 10 per cent of the
total and the percentage for 1910 is ga per
cent.
Under this compilation Oklahoma win be
entitled certainly to one more congressman,
and probably to two more representatives
IN congress, the exact NUMBER depending
entirely upon the basis of apportlonment.
At present there are five members Of the
house from Oklahoma, but this number
was arbitrarily fixed when Oklahoma en-
tered the union and, if the basis Of the APP
portionment for the country at large under
the census of 1900 had been observed, the
new state would have been entitled to seven
members in the lower branch of congress
when 1t entered the union.
With an increase of about one-slxth in
population 1t is scarcely to be supposed
there will be any reduction by congress OF
the number of congressman to which the
state was rightfully entitled under the spe-
cial census of Oklahoma of 1907. The dis
| tricts now are unusually large, varying in
population from 225.0O in the First to $3.50
in the Second.

Says "Darn Fool"
and Regrets 1t
Judge Leslie Decides Expression is
Not a Gravely Sinful One,
but Indelicate.

Hans c. Glissman was on the witness
stand in county court as complainant in
the prosecution of Edwin Kirsehbraun for
violation Of the automobile laws. He ac-
cused Kirschbraun Of having failed to stop
when signalled to do so, forcing him. with
his team and wagon, over an embankment
at the side OF the road.
Mr.. Glissmann was being questioned by
his attorney, Charles A. Goss, as to his re-
marks at the time he was forced out of
the road. What, II anything, did you
say" asked the attorney, when the driver
failed to heed your signal? Did you
swear7"
Yes. sir; did," was the answer 1T
you wish TO know what I said l will re-
peat It, although would rather not" To
this the attorney Immediately replied that
this was unnecessary
But Deputy County Attorney Magney
conducting the prosecution, sought to gain
point and insisted that the witness re-
peat what he had said in the way OF pro
family,
We'll" hestatingly, 81 called him darn
fool"
Judge Leslie ruled that the expression
was neither blEsphemous nor profane. but
that II was merely indicate He fined
Kirschbraun SIS and costs. Miss Blanche
Rohn. who was driving a machine directly
behind that OF Kirsohbraun, had agreed TO
accept the same penalty given Kirseh-
braun in order TO escape another trial.

Marks Meeting
of Police Board
Request of Commissioner Charles
Karbach Ignored at First Gath
ering Since Charges.

The request OF Charles Karbach, member
of the Board of Fire and Police Commits
sioners, to have himself declared absent
at the last meeting of the board was denied
by his fellow members at the meeting FRI
day afternoon and that one disagreement
was all that marred the cold Formally Of
the first meeting that has been held since
Karbach swore to his sensational charges
against his colleagues and the chief OF
police.
Mr.. Karbach declared that he was absent

pointment of Ed Morris as fire warden and
asked to have the records which declared
him present rectifled. No che would move
to change the records and on Mr.. Wappich' s
motion they were approved as they stood.
1t is believed that Karbach wanted himself
on record as absent at the appointment of
Morris because he disapproved OF that
action. His unsuccessful efforts to get
someone else in as fire warden are said to

Status of Drays
as Carriers
Arrest Of Man at Mason City for
Hauling Beer Consigned to John
Doe Raises Legal Point,

MASON CITY, Ia, July SO.-(special)-
From the justice to the district court and
then from the district to the supreme
court. and then possibly to the United
States supreme court, is the possible course
of the trial that was heard here today.
Peter Mabie, a drayman is charged with
hauling beer contrary to the laws Of the
state of Iowa. Attorneys could not agree
upon statement of facts but in the evil
dence introduced the state endeavored to
establish the fact that Mabie was not a
unit in the delivery of the beer; that under
the state law he had no right to handle 1t
and under the interstate commerce law
he had no right. Ten cases of beer came
consigned to two individuals of this city.
1t came without any street address and
the defendant did not try to establish the
owners of the beer. MabIe loaded the beer
on his dray and was about to haul it away
when the sheriff seized 1t. Mabie could not
show that he had authority to haul the
beer, either from consignee or consignor,
and 1t was seized. The defendant claimed
that he was as much of factor in the
delivery of the beer as the railroad, and
the beer came under the interstate COM
merce law from the time 1t left the brewery
until 1t was delivered to the one buying
the beer. This beer CHANGED to be ad-
dressed to John Doe, Mason City, and the
state holds that when the railroad COM
pany delivers 1t to the Mason City station
the interstate law ceased and the state law
applies. The state admitted In argument
that If 1t came addressed to John Doe 221
East State street. Mason City, then Mabie
would have right to deliver 1t and become
a part of the original contract. The case
is creating great deal of interest. The
brewing company at Austin is really de-
PENDANT in the case, it is alleged. Two of
the leading legal firms of the city are de-
| Tending Mabie. The justice court bound
him over to the district court.
