According to reports received
from Elizabeth yesterday. there
had been trouble at the Sees

This trouble is said to have re-

it is said, Sees and his wife quar-
relied about Brinker, but in the
past two weeks the trouble be-
came more acute, other neigh

the rows.
1t is said that Sees went to his
home Saturday afternoon and
commenced quarreling with his
wife, about Brinker. Later
Brinker was called to Sees home
and was asked severel questions
by Sees relatives to Mrs. Sees

Bnnker was ordered from the
house. At first he refused to go.

SCHOOL
CONVENTION.

In spite of the rain and confusion
about TIM date. the Animal Conven-
ton of the Calhoun County Sunday
School Association was a success
Several speakers from outside the
county were present, among them
being General Secretary Arnold OF
Wheeling, Miss Martha V. Graham,
State Elementory Superintendent;
Miss Georgietta Bell and Mr. Orlan-
do Bumgarner of Writ county.
This Association is a mighty agency
for good in West Virginia and those
who do not attend its coventions
make mistake, for they rob them
selves of the instruction, inspiration
and encouragement that will better
soup them for the important work
Of teaching Gods word. Last year
the Stats Association held three
hundred Sunday School conventions
and helped one hundred thousand
workman, and its officers travelled
thirty five thousand miles in the
prosecution of the work. The great
denominational leaders of all demon
nations are behind the work and
are giving it their unqualified en-
dorsement. The State Convention
will meet al Parkersburg next APP
ri.
We were requested by Mr.. Arnold
TO publish list of the newly elect
ed officers for this county, and the
resolutions adopted at this meeting
but we were unable to secure the
copy for same.

Sheriff Linke.

Sheriff Linke, of Newark,
Ohio is either a criminal or a
weakling. He should not be a
sheriff. He might at least have
died defying the mob, and a
sheriff who lacks soldiers cour-
age is an aid to lawlessness and
traitor to his trust. Fortu-
nately the Ohio law provides for
the removal of the sheriff where
he fails to discharge his duty.
Unless there is a white-wash it
seems altogether probable that
Sheriff Linke will be removed.
That might serve as a warning
to other peace officers in Ohio
that the anti-mob law is not a
dead letter. The county must
pay $4,000 as compensation to
the heirs of the murdered boy its
officers failed to defend from the
mob. That provision of the law
is excellent. Next to a law MAX
ing the county is liable for COM
pensatory damages whenever a
man is killed by a mob, regard
less of whether he is a prisoner,
it is about the best anti-mob law
that could be thought of. Touch
the purse strings of the public
and you awaken a militant desire
for law and order and the pun
ishment of those who are respon-
sible for the expense of compen-
satiating families, insofar as
money is compensation, for the
deprivation that results from the
negligence of the community.
Several Southern sheriffs re-
Gently. notable one in Florida
and one in Georgia, have proven.

examples to other peace officers
by indicating a preference to die

The great problem for the far
mer to solve during the hot days
when the crops are growing
most promisingly under a glow
ing sun The great problem is
the problem Of moisture for the
crops. A growing crop needs
hundreds of tons of water for
every acre. This water passes
from the soil to the air through
the plant being taken in by
thousand Of tiny rootlets and
carried a. to the leaves, whence
it passes away by evaporation.
The w ter that is taken up by
weeds does not benefit .he corn.
And the corn needs all the water.
The water that evaporates from
the hard surface of the field can
not help the corn. And the corn
needs a'. Gle water at this sea-
son and until the ears are hard i'm
the fall.
The water can be saved for
the corn by frequent cultivation.
Cultivate often, but no. deer.
Stir the surface soil after every
shower; Corit is from the roin-
packed surface that the water
cvaporatcs most rapidly This
frequent cultivation keeps the
weeds under control and gives
the growing crop the conditions
most suitable to promote rapid
growth.
