Now if this We're change to "The

be strictly correct for you we'll
remember that the straw stack
was the first place the boy was
put. but with all it's dust and
sweat, the work was usually we'll
done and the stack was left in
such shape that it shed water
and green straw stack was less
common than it is at the present
time.
AS good a stack can be built by
one careful man with the modern
stacker as could be made with
ten times the eXertion of the
five boys behind the old sIat
stacker.
Most any good man, and no
other should be intrusted with
the job, can build the stack and
have time to look after the grain
wagons in ordinary work.
He should first extend the
stacker chute to it's full length
and elevate it sufficiently that
the force of the blast will be
downwards and build the back or
far side Of the stack first, then
the center and front can be made
always blowing the straw into
and against the back which has
been built. When about to
finish the stack the chute chould
be elevated and blow a few
loads up and over making solid
cap that will shed water and
make as pretty a stack as could
be desired. Of course, if it be-

Land is increasing in value
every year and farming Is ac=

The farmer is looking after the
waste on the farm and using
every method OF converting it IN

Prominent among the many
minor wastes Of the average farm
stands the straw stack, which too
frequently deserves the usual
name Of strawpile.

i'm MYRTLE Hawkins Case

After being out all night, the jury
in the Myrtle Hawkins murder case at
Hendersonyille, n. O., at II O'Clock
Wednesday returned verdict of not
guilty for all seven Of the defendants.
The verdict was greeted with wild
demonstration by a crowded court
room, when the prisoners and some of
their friends shouted for JOY and
leaped to the twelve farmer jurors,
whom they kissed and embraced. The
seven defendants, Dan w. Mccall and
daughter, Mrs. Beatrice Mccall; her
husband. Abner Mccall, George Brad
ley and brother, Boney Bradley and
Mrs. Lizzie Shaft and Mrs. Nora Britt.
the last two of Asheville, were ad"
judged not guilty under the.four counts
in the bill of indictment, thus leaving
the ofr-repeated question "Who killed
Myrtle Hawkins?" still unanswered
and the whole mystery intensified.

The Home Girl.
The golden age for women, they in
form us, is at hand,
Though just exactly what it is, is hard
to understand.
We've given ample warning that the
time is coming when
They're going to dominate the fields
now occupied by men.
They're getting into politics, and glo'
ry in the strife
They're cutting quite figure in the
realms of business life.
Now this may be the stylish thing, but
it must be confessed
That after all is said and done, We
like the home girl best.
Her biscuits may not be the best e'er
made right on the start,
Her pie crusts may together stick and
may refuse to part,
Her corn beef hash may taste just like
fluff rag IN distress
Her coup may be enough to make a
criminal confess.
But still it makes fellow glad. wher-
ever he may roam,
To think that this old fashioned girl
waits his arrival home.
Of course, you know, there's not a
doubt that we like all the rest, +
But getting squarely down to facts,
we like the home girl best.
