TO MAKE CONCRETE cULvERT

The proper drainage with good cul-

Concrete stands at the head of the

abutments.

width OF feet, and the full width of
the road. Set up and stake in place
two planks or slabs 10 inches wide,
as shown at BIB In the picture AS
these pieces are to remain in place,
they may be of any ordinary stuff just
good enough to hold the concrete in
place until 1T sets. These pieces are
set feet at the end where the water
starts in and 51a at the lower end.
they should have fall of 1 inch to
each foot in length. Now, put a layer
OF concrete 6 inches deep, and hollow
out and smooth down. Raise the side
toward BIB, keeping them in position
as shown in the picture.
Set up 10-inch boards &C IS inches
from BIB. This will make the walls

opening 2 feet wide at the upper end,
ana feet and + inches at the lower.
AS the forms are being filed with
concrete, sand or gravel should be
filled in at "a for a core, which after
ward may be shoveled out and earth
filled in behind the outside pieces to
hold it in position.
When the form is filled to the top
of the planks the center, or core.
should be rounded up with sand to
form the arch of opening in the cul-
vert. This sand should be packed
solid and smoothed off nicely so the
surface of the arch will be smooth
A plank should be set up at each
end of the culvert before any concrete
is put In, so the ends will be smooth

Cow peas, flax and millet are good

Clean the seed wheat Clean seed

Farm machinery is expensive and
TO allow it to stand exposed to the

Good blowing is economical in every

Applying fertilizer rich in phos-

Proportions for concrete: Two parts
sand; four parts coarse gravel or
crushed stone; one part Portland ce-
ment.
The sand and cement should be
mixed dry. The gravel, if not damp,
should be dampened, then mix with
the sand and cement. Turn the mix
ture three times, dry, and add enough
water to make thick mortar; turn
tta"fo mere times and shovel into the
forms; puddle or pack into the forms
with stamping stick or piece of 2x4-
inch scantling.
When finished let stand one day,
then put on the earth which will help
to dry out the concrete all alike.
Any time after one week the same

Now you have culvert of one
solid piece; one that will not rot cut,
wash away, nor can it be torn down
by the boys while hunting rabbits.

ROBIN COOPER FREED IN
CARMACK MURDER CASE
The Tennessee Attorney General
Moves for Discharge, Ending
Famous Political Tragedy

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 15.-Robin
J. Cooper, charged with the murder Of
former United States Senator Edward
w. Carmack, November 8, 1908, was
given a verdict of not guilty in the
criminal court today on the recommen-
dation of Attorney General A. B. An
derson. Thus was brought to close
the final chapter in one of the most
celebrated cases in the annals of the
courts of Tennessee.
In striking contrast to the scenes
marking the first trial of this case,
when the court room was packed al
most to suffocation by those eager to
hear every word of the evidence, there
were only few persons present to-
day. Attorney General Anderson said:
"This defendant and Col. Duncan B.
Cooper and John Sharp were indicted
jointly for the murder of Senator Car
mack. The case resulted in the acquit-
tai of Sharp. Col Cooper and this de-
fendant were found guilty of murder
in the first degree. The supreme court
affirmed the case of Col, Cooper, but as
to this defendant there was a reversal" !"
Judge Neil then stated to the jury
that in view of the statement of the
attorney general, and in view of the
fact that no further effort had been
made to prosecute the case, the jury
would return a. verdict of not guilty.
This was DONE

Maude Younger of San Francisco be-
fore the American Federation of La
Dor late today.
The statement was greeted with en-
thusiastic applause by the delegates.
Miss Younger is connected with the

portant features Of the day, the other
being the address of Governor Hadley,
in which he urged that one-third of the
judges and one-half of the lawyers of
the country were unnecessary.
Miss Younger was presented to the
Convention by President Gompers, after
he had completed the reading of his an
nual report, and her appearance on the
platform was the signal for enthusiasm.

yesterday The other business was the
filing of reports by committees.
Before the convention ends the dele
gates, according to leaders, will have
to decide for or against Socialism.
President Gompers in his report said
that politically an invariable problem
which confronted the trades union
movement was how to take action
without binding itself to a hard and
fast ism, ology or platform.
Victor L. Berger of Milwaukee, So

Hayes of Cleveland are leading in the
struggle to have the convention declare
for Socialism. Hayes friends would like

Goldman pondered long before he hit
