Witness
(By the Associated PreSS.)

Los Angeles, Ca, June 7.-Today's
proceedings at the trial of Clarence
S. DarroW for alleged Jury bribing
consisted principally Of obstructive
tactics with defense and prosecution
alternating in the blocking Of at
temDts Of opposing counsel to elicit
new facts from Bert Franklin, who
was on the stand the entire day.
Franklin, in answer to repeated cross
examination questions as to his rea-
son for pleading guilty to the charge
Of bribery made a state
ment of how he succumbed to the
pressure. He denied repeatedly that
the prosecution promised him inmu-
nifty or anything else for giving tes-
timony against Dar4oU.
The witness told how he had been
informed by Attorney Davis that it
had been arranged for him to get a
sentence Of two years in the peniten-
tiary if he would plead guilty to brib-
ing George n. Lockwood.

said Franklin, that the time had
come to make up my mind what to
do and that | thought the proper
thing to bear the burden myself and
protect that man sitting beside YOU
At this point Franklin pointed u

breath offered an apology to the de.

Franklin testified that he had neve,

his arrest occurred, but had received
during December a total OF $3.50,
from Lecompte Davis, counse for tn,

WHAT is GOOD FARMING?

The question that is often discuss
cd in farmers meetings and in farm
erS' institutes is as to what may be
considered good farming. There are
many answers given to this question.
and one Of these is found in the fire.
0uent answer that good farming is
that which gives the greatest amount
of yield from the least investment.
This is right only in part. Not
alone the greatest yield for the least
cost Is to be considered, out also that
there Is returned to the soil at least
that which was taken from 1t in pro-
ducing the crop. The great curse to
any farm is the exhaustion Of the
soil. A crop is a dear crop. no mat

THERE IS ROOM TO GROW.

The man who has a farm, and who
will put energy and brains behind the
working Of that farm, can make it a
success. But he must work as we'll
as plan. No success can come with
out work, and that is the keynote Of
all success. The man who works
the hardest, and uses brains gets the
most out of his work There is
room to grow in every vocation. The
farmer has the chance as las the
worker in other lines.
The Farm and Fireside of Spring
field, Ohio. has an editorial along this
line which is woYth considering. 1t
carries the idea that a small farm is
big enough to give a big man a
chance to grow. 1t says:
THE unskilled man gets nol more
out of a farm than he does Out Of
any other job. He gets a mere liv-
ing. that's all. The change from the
ranks of the unskilled to the army Of
the skilled can be made on the farm,
however, without moving to a new
home or hunting a new job. That's
the advantage, if he could only be
made to see it, possessed by the
young man Of ability who is a farm
err. A small farm is big enough to
give a big man a chance to grow. He
doesn't need to leave home to make
his job bigger and more profitable.
All he needs to do, If he has a farm
is to use his brains, and his hands in
coordination Herewith.
