Law Above Government.

Supreme Justice Wright of the Su,
preme Court of the District Of Column.
bia has held that the law Is above the
government, and that Senators like 9TH
er everyday folk, are subject to the
laws Of the land.
This will be something of shock to
that superior body of gentlemen consti-
tuting the Senate Of the United States.
The Senators have always looked upon
their body with exalted eyes, and when
the summons of the court was served,
disregarded it, under the assumption that
United States Senators were superior to
the ordinary mandates OF the law.
The decision of James Wright is re-
mindful. 1t required a radical action on
the part OF the people Of England to con-
vince the House OF Peers that the
rights Of the people come first in Eng
land. The lordly gentlemen sitting in
the upper house of the British Paria-
ment felt the rebuke and have been
chastened by it.
The decision Of Justice Wright, com
ing at this particular time, will have the
same beneficial result in this country.
No man is superior to the consutu-
tional law Of the country in the United
States. Be he rich or poor, in high Of

1,265, 900 Cords of Wood.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 27.-There
was consumed in the United States
during the calender year 1909 in the
industry of wood distillation, 1855.
600 cords of wood, as against 97S, 600
cords in 1908 and l,2S2,O cords in
1908. The average cost per cord re-
ported for the 1909 consumption was
1921, which was an increase of %
cents, or s per cent, over that report
ed for 1908, and for 6 cents or 2 per
cent over that for 1909, and for G
cents or 2 per cent over that for 1907.
While substantial increase is noted
in that branch of the industry using
yellow pine, fir, and other soft wood
as material, the revival of activity
was more marked in hard wood distil.

terial advance in the average value

Water for the Dairy Cow.

1t is very important that the water
drunk by the cows giving three or
more gallons of milk daily be warmed
to about 60 degrees, F. Otherwise
the cows will not drink as much as
they need to keep up a good milk
flow. 1t does not take much ice
water to chill thin-fleshed dairy cow
through and through on a cold winter
day, especially when she is compelled
to walk some distance through the
snow or cutting wind to get to the
tank OF pond.
Experiments made at the Missouri
Station show that drinking water is
needed in proportion to the milk
yield. That is, cow giving six gal
Ions of milk day, needs about twice
as much water as cow giving three
gallons a day. If the water is too
cold to be comfortable if drunk in
large quantities, the cow will not
drink enough as a result, will drop
considerably in her milk yield.
When Missouri Chief Josephine
was giving about 100 pounds of milk
each day last winter she drunk daily
about 81 gallons of water. Imagine
how she would have suffered if that
had been ice water. II was warmed,
however, and Josephine did not chill
after drinking. A good tank heater,
or some other device should be used
this winter to warm the water for the
cows. 1t will pay.-H. E. McNatt,

Gentlemen
In order to fulfill promise to you
gentlemen and also to give my Bates
county friends some idea of this coun-
try, will ask for few lines in your
valuable paper.
In December, 1903, | made a trip
to this country, known as the Flower
plains" or shallow water country"
of the Texas Panhandle. This country
with its level land, deep soil, fine
water, good grass, fine feed crops,
lots of registered cattle and good
horses and mules, reminded me of
the Promised Land. On this trip
purchased two sections in Castro
county and one year later, when l
came to look over our holdings (which
looked better than ever | purchased
another section adjoining us, which
gives us nearly two thousand acres
of land in a strip one mile wide and
three miles long, all fenced and cross
fenced.
On September 18th of this year,
! left Butler with my plans for i'm
proving this little ranch and, arriving
here on the 10th inst, | proceeded to
letcontracts. We first drilled a well,
also erecting a tower and windmill,
a fine flow of water and easy to get.
Next we put up good barn, 4Ox4O #.

doors and windows red; then came our
dwelling, 28xS6 feet, one story, two
porches. solid concrete foundation,
concrete cellar walls and floor 7 l-2
feet in clear.
The house,is built on the bungalow
style, six rooms and basement. We
installed a water system from the
well to milk-house, from there to
large drinking tanks in horse lots and
pastures and then to an extra large
earthen tank, 25xl00 feet deep, which
makes an excellent way Of watering
the different lots and pastures and
from one well only. II necessary, we
can also irrigate our garden from our
pipe line.

TROUBLE FOR RIFLEMAN
Midshipman Hawkins Sent Back To
Academy From Trip To Wakefield
Range With Teammates

Because of misconduct in the trip
from Annapolis to the Wakefield rifle
range, member of the Naval Acad-
emy rifle team has been sent back to
the Academy under the ban of dis
cipline, and his case is now pending
action before the authorities here.
He is Rhodes II. Hawkins, of Mis-
souri,. member of the present second
class and one of the good shots of the
team.
Young Hawkins, with the other
members of the team, left Annapolis
Immediately after the funeral of
Grisbey E. Thomas, the member of
the team who lost his life in the
drowning accident here a week ago.
At one of the cities en- route to Wake
field, where the final practice before
the big national match at Camp
Perry, Hawkins got into trouble,
which is said to have been caused by
over-joyousness.
His conduct was such as to lead
Lieutenant Hillerv Williams, who
was in charge of the MILDLY team, to
order him to report back to the au-
thorities here. He is now restricted
to the academic limits pending a dis
position of his case.

FOUR ARE RESTRICTED
fiOld-0yer Members OF 1910 Class Get
laiO Trouble Through Joy Riding
On The Fourth

-Four young future admirals who
had they not hit the rocks of low
marks. would have graduated from
the Naval Academy in June with the
class Of 1910. are now confined to the
academic limits as a result of 10y
ride, which they determined upon as
a fitting manner in which to celebrate
the nation S natal day.
IN view of the fact that their of.
Tense is not really a serious one, and
that its most trying phase is their
loss Of liberty and other privileges,
their names are withheld Officially
the records of the case at the Acad-
cmy show no reference to Joy ride,
although it was a trip outside Of An
napolis on the Glorious Fourth and
the unexpected breaking down of the
machine that caused their present
predicament.
They were late for supper forma-
tion and did not get back to the Acad-
emy until after their liberty hours,
and it is for this that they are now
restricted All four are hold-overs
who failed to get through on the final
examination, and they are now being
kept at the Academy pending re-
examination, when it will be deter
mined whether they shall be gradual
ed and get their diplomas or not.

A QUID OF GUM
Denying tie Chewed Gum Leads To
Dismissal OF West Point Cadet

A guild of gum and a falsehood
cost Everett Crear, of Albany, N. Y,
dismissal as a cadet from West Point.
Cadet Crear was a member of the
fifth class or the punishment squad"
and had been detailed for guard duty.
He had done trip" and slept his
four hours when the corporal Of the
guard awakened him for his next
"trip" or tour Being somewhat
sleepy Cadet Everett, it is charged,
commenced chewing gum, possibly as
an aid in arousing himself.
Cadet James Gillespie Blaine Lam
pert, of the senior class and the off
Ger of the guard noticed, when the
guard was lined up for roll call prior
to going on relief. that Crear's
jaws were working vigorously. He
stepped up to the 'plebe" and asked
him if he was chewing gum.
No, sir" replied Crear.
You're under arrest, said his
superior office.
Then and there began the climax
of Cadet Crear's troubles. He was
tried by court-martial for making a
false statement, was found guilty
and sentenced to be dismissed. Pres
ident Taft has approved the findings.
