1T COST HIM 1918

Atlanta, Ga.-Because he bit his
wife, Rev. c. =. Dickson, pastor of
the Fairhaven Christian negro church
was arraigned in the police court yes
terday morning.
Police officers and citizens testified
that they found the preacher on the

whistling as il making a signal. They
thought the preacher was a burglar
and locked him up.
With a regular hallelujah ring In his
voice, Rev. Dickson said to the court:
ME and that wife of mine Is al
ways argufying and we have been
Quarreling for the past week. l got
home late Saturday night from a re-
vival, and because l woke her up she
got mad and blessed me out. l left
the house because 1 was powerful
tempted to hit her. and l went out or
policeman, thinking he might go II
and quiet my wife down"
Then the wife of the Rev. Dickson
took the witness stand and she stated
that her husband went home Satur
day night, got mad because she wa
asleep and bit her on the arm. Sht
rolled up her sleeve and showed tn
recorder the bite"
"Oh, that was just some of my lit
tie playfulness,." exclaimed the Rev
Dickson.
The recorder thought such n bi
was worth 1915. and the Rev. Dick
son made the contribution.

case of Pape's Diapepsin, and take
a little just as soon as you can. There

of undigested food mixed with acid,
no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness

THE CASE is CLOSED.

With the acceptance of the reslgna'
ton If Richard A. Ballinger by Presi-
dent Taft and the appointment u
Walter L. Fisher of Chicago as secre-
tary of the interior, there is closed
one of the most sensational incidents
which has arisen in national affairs
for the mast few years. Ballinger has
heen accused by his enemies with all
sorts of crimes against the nation in
his handling of the forests OF the
country and his friends have been as
loyal to him as his enemies have been
against him. The chances are that
Ballinger has been moved by the high
est motives, and that the seat OF all
the trouble has been in difference
as to methods to be pursued. The
president always had faith in Balm
ger and in accepting his resignation
reiterated that faith, and that he was
unwilling to lose the services OF a
man whom he considered valuable to
his cabinet is Witnessed by the fact
that the resignation has been In his
hands for the past couple of months.
Ballinger retires from public office,
according to his own statement,
poor man, stating that it has cost him
$4,000 to keep his name clear. and
the question arises in the minds OF
many people whether, after all, the
striving for office and glory are worth
what some seem to think. No matter
how straight one in public life may
walk, there are always those who
will. attempt to tesmirch his char
acter for the sake of political gain.

In response to an inquiry from Cali.

Or branches Of dry farming to the
depth Of blowing.
For spring wheat We plow in tho
fall eight to ten inches deep. for win
tor wheat we plow in the spring the
same depth, when the weeds are up
about four inches high. During the
Interval the ground settles and packs
Itself, therefore we use no packer. We
barrow both spring or winter wheat

crust. but l find that even II we have
to neglect a cultivation through stress
Of work, the deep blowing brings the
crop through.
In California conditions are alto
gether different from what they are
on this side (east) Of the mountains,
the rains come in the winter months,
and at maturing time in May and
June the weather is usually dry and
the crop Is made by what moisture
remains in the ground and the sap
that is carried In the stalk. This Is
tho critical period in California and l
have seen many crop fail at the
last minute, when one more cultiva-
ton just before heading would have
saved It. The average farmer is
afraid to harrow his wheat for fear
Of damaging 1t, but the fact Is. the
more It Is narrowed and tramped the
better 1t seems to grow.
In order to break the crust at the
last moment when the rains have
ceased and the wheat Is almost head

that the usual method of raising

The little city of Wilton on the 500

for the past few months. The city
has many natural advantages, the
most important bang the location
there of practically unlimited coal
supply, but these natural advantages
are being supplemented by the efforts
of the citizens and the usual results
are following. The last step taken
toward getting the town in the front
rank was the organization of COM

active commercial club, the new Pres

newspaper under the management of
Gilbert w. Stewart, Wilton is bound

The ambassador who would protect
his country's rights must exercise tact

some happening entirely beyond his
control. In a biography of Sir Robert
Hart, Juliet Bredon instances treaty

luck.
During one of those terrible storms
which periodically sweep the shores
Of Formosa an American vessel was
wrecked and the crew eaten by the
aborigines. The nearest American
consul thereupon journeyed inland to
the savage territory in order to make
terms with the cannibals for future
emergencies.
Unfortunately the chiefs refused to
listen and would have nothing to do
with the agreement prepared for their
signature.
The consul was irritated by their OBJ
stinacy. He had a bad temper and q

RETAINING MOISTURE IS
MOST IMPORTANT POINT
Should Old onland
Should BE DIsced Narrowed

in accommodating this moisture in the
subsoil.
In Canada It is not so imperatively
necessary to plow deeply as it Is
here. for the frost stays in the sub
soil late in the season; while the
ground is frozen there Is no loss by
evaporation and. as the frost goes
out in May and June. It leaves the sub.
soil moist and pliable, In the best
possible condition for the roots to go
down, and they 80 down sometimes
three or four feet. This is one reason
for the yields they get up there.
George L. Farrell, one Of the most
successful wheat raisers OF Utah,
plows eight to ten inches and SUBJ
soils every few years to total depth
of fifteen inches. He often averages
45 bushels to the acre on 200 or more
acres by his dry farm methods. Fall
lowing can be used, and, l am inform.
ed, is now being successfully applied
to wheat raising in the San Joaquin
Valley. BY maintaining a good
mulch, moisture can be carried over
from one rainy season to another and
IN the coast districts with a saturated
atmosphere the loss by evaporation
should be slight, but in those parts
where the precipitation runs to 20
inches fine crops should be raised ev-
cry year by careful attention to the
accumulation and conservation OF
moisture.
