A FOrcible Reminder.

$50 The impossible condition of
many roads in various sections of
the country for weeks and months
of the winter now drawing to Il
close has been a forcible remind
er of the necessity of having i'm
proved roads before another win
ter season shall arrive. Let not
the matter rest this summer
through any hort-sighted policy
like that made famous by citi-
zen of Arkansas with respect to
the roof of his dwelling.-InlanU

Broom Corn.

Good broom corn sells for 5000
a ton, but there is not much
broom corn, good or otherwise,
being grown in Kentucky. In
fact there is a scarcity of the
first-class product everywhere
which has been reflected in re-
cent years in the high prices of
broOms.
Federal census figures show
that in 1909 broom corn was
grown on 1,041 farms in Ken
lucky, but the entire harvest "a
rea amounted to only 342 acres
and the entire product aggregat-
ed only 157, 1856 pounds of the
value of about $4,000. A pound
of broom corn seed will plant a.
bout an acre of ground and the
cost of cultivation is not heavy.
Broom corn does not exhaust the
soil, as the stalks are plowed I'M
der and thus enrich the land.
The stalks also are in some de-
mand for the making of paper
pulp.-Courier-Jurnal.

Farmers are being offered in
the Bluegrass 6 aud ~ cents for
their lambs and 20 and 25 cents
a pound for their wool. These
prices are good and satisfactory
the only trouble being there are
not enough sheep aud lambs in

this section. Except on the riv-

ORDERS ACCUSED

TRIAL IN INDIANA
Efforts to Resist Extradition
NAY Be Fooled BY This
Decision of Judge
Ganborn.

Milwaukee, Wis, March 5.-Wm. +
Redding and Herman u. HeiitCTt, Of
ficials OF the milwaukee, Iron Workers
union, will be removed to Indiana for
trial in the alleged d~ynamiting con-
spiracy. Federal Judge A. l.. Sanborn,
of Madison, today having overruled
their contention that If they had COM
mitted an offense 1t was committed in
Wisconsin. not In Indiana.
Judge Sanborn held that every ship
ment of nitroglycerin by Ortie McMan-
igal or the McNamaras was ~cbargeable
also to all the other persons in the
alleged conspiracy.
S the offense, If any" he said. twas
committed in Indiana, although it may
also have been in other states. The
most convenient place for trial from
the standpoint Of all the defendants, is
in the district of Indiana. Therefore
these defendants should stand trial
there with the others. unless they have
the right under the constitution to be
discharged from arrest there"
Redding and Seiffert challenged the
sufficiency of the indictment in that
it vas not explicit enough in present
ing proofs of guilt. The court held.
however. that in a case where secrecy
is of prime Importance a grand jury
is justified in not Incorporating tbo spe-
cifc statements in the indictment.
Judge Sanborn's ruling will probably
affect the efforts of other defendants,
two of them in New York. to prevent
