The land which Martin farms was
SO rough and undesirable that IL was

cash premiums at fairs.
Last year Martin won 1925 at the
Nebraska State fair and at Electric

county exhibits. He also won many
individual prizes In agricultural
classes at both fairs. At Electric
Park his products were given eighty
two first and second awards.
Hard work and a little thought.

to make farming pay. Martin sells

Can You Tell THE Difference

Do you know how to tell one kind
OF aeroplane from another?
Most anybody ought to be able to
distinguish between monoplane and
q biplane. The person who can't dis.
tinguish the difference between a ma.
chine with one plane and one with
two is hopeless. But it's something
of trick to distinguish between two

tween q Wright and Curtiss. or be.
tween two different monoplanes. as
between q B1eriot and an Antoinette.

DIR. Clarence Pickens Kills Two
Brothers Near AshevilIe.

Asheville, Aug. 13.-As the result
or a dispute over Office rental, DIR.
Clarence Pickens a dentist of Weav-
ervllle ten miles from here, tonight
shot and instantly killed two broth
ers,- Rome and Furman Capps. DIR.
P1ckens claims that he had to shoot
IN self defense. He is now in the
custody Of officers. AS best the facts
can be obtained at this time, it seems
that some days ago Dr. Pickens, who
rents an Office from the father of the
Capps boys, had a dispute as to the
rent. Tonight this dispute was re-
newed, Pickens claiming that he
had paid the rent in advance. Then
he claims that the Caps boys jump
ed upon him, cutting his coat in sew
era1 places and making several flesh
wounds, when he was compelled to
shoot in self defense. Weaverville is
all wrought up about the affair.
This makes three of the Capps bows
that have been shot to death. 1t was
last fall that the first was killed by
young Ben Morris, Jr, near the Nor
ris home on the road to Weaverville.
After being cleared, by the coroner's
jury on the grounds of self defense.
young Morris was re-arrested and
tried, and is now serving a year in
the penitentiary at Raleigh.
