A WORLDS RECORD FOR FLOWING

The worlds record for blowing was recently broken in a demon stration at Purdue University, Indiana, in which a gang blow having fifty blows and drawn by three traction engines turned over a stubble field at the rate of an acre every four and one- quarterminutes. This mammoth blow cuts a strip nearly sixty feet wide, and turns over seven acres for every mile it travels. Beach of the fifty blows is inde- pendent of the others, rising and falling as easily and naturally as a wooden chip on the surface of rough water, 50 that the service of the machine is not confined to ground absolutely level.-Pop- ular Mechanics Magazine.

NEWSPAPERS 4 REAL AID TO EDUCATION

No section of the state needs newspapers more than our be- loved mountains. and yet there is less encouragement to the newspaper man than in any part of the commonwealth, says the Hazel Green KY. Herald.
 The people in this respect fol- low in the footsteps of their fore fathers in far too many cases at least and when asked to subcribe to a paper will say: "Oh. I don't reckon I need a paper. My father never took a paper, and he always got along all right. But once you get these same people to take paper. es pecially if they have any children, they find it almost indispensable. The children now growing up should every one have access to newspaper. Not only do they thus acquire a knowledge ofcur- rent events. but they learn to read quicker and better and are better citizens. In the county where a newspaper is published it would be almost impossible to get out an issue without naming some one whom every child knows or know of. Hence it is every week anxious to get the paper and read it through with interest to see who is named. One of the most eminent teachers in the mountains once told the writer that he could pick out of his school of about fifty scholars those who were regular readers of the Herald and added that they were invariably better read CTS than the others. albeit the others had access to large libra ries in some instances.

THE HOPELESSNESS OF THEFT

Almost every day the news papers tell of the arrest or con- viction of some former trusted employe who has stolen funds entrusted to him. A wise police officer once said. Show me a thief and 1 will show you fool. " It is indeed strange that man in his right lnind will, with his eyes open. go into hopeless game. Morals aside, 1t would seem that man of ordinary in- telligence would be honest simply because it is the best and easiest way U get on. Tn embeZZler would not try his luck at game of chance that had never been beaten by any player and yet If he figured form" on embezzlers he would see that punishment in one shape or another is sure to come.

LIMIT CAMPAIGN EXPENSES

The imperative need of some law to limit the expenditures of Congressman and Senator's is brought out by the Stephenson investigation now in progress. Isaac Stephenson is the new Sen ator from Wisconsin. and he con- fesses that he spent S107, 973 to get his seat. So far .here is no evidence to prove that he per sonally bought votes or influence, but any man with common sense knows that there is no occasion to use such an enormous fund legitimately. Having pile of money and an ambition to go to the Senate, Stepheson simply put his wealth at the command of his campaign managers and he is no less guilty of the corrupt practi- ces which they committed than if he had personally superintend- ed them. Already in some of our Southern States the entry of wealthy men into politics has re- suited in serious debauchery of the e,ec 3rate. We should have a lar- ~.;ting the amount of money that may be spent by candidates for every office and requiring sworn and detailed statonen.5 If all campaign ex- penditures. At the same time we should not confine our blame to candidates for office. We must develop in each neighborhood a spirit that will condemn vote selling ns u7sparingly as theft or forgery. Tho man who is known to have sold his vote is no more worthy of respect than if he had stolen a ham. Progressive Far mer.

RIGHESON GIVEN
 DEATH SENTENCE
Baptist Minister Condemned to Electric Chair For The
 Murder of Avis Linnell
EXECUTION SET FOR MIDWAY

i ~ u dIl1C VI ~ iliiil " iiC ilGtt 'fA5bs doned all hope of life, the Rev. Clarence V. T. Richeson stood today at the bar of justice, de- clared his guilt of the premedi- tated murder by means of potas- sium cyanide of his former sweet heart, Avis Linnell, and without a tremor heard Judge Sanderson sentence him to death in the cleo tric chair within the week begin hing May 19.
 While displaying remarkable stoicism, the young Virginian ap- peared to those who crowded the little courtroom as if he were conducting his own funeral. Yet, as he walked out of the court room there was a trace of the old-time jauntiness; it seemed to indicate to many that his fight was not yet done.
 The half dozen questions which Judge Sanderson put to Richeson as to whether he realized the full nature and effect of his acknow- ledgment of his guilt. he answer ed without show of emotion, and always in the affirmative.
 Richeson's counsel announced after the proceedings that an ap- peal for executine clemency would be made soon, and that every effort would be put forth to obtain life imprisonment as the punishment.
 Upon what ground the petition will be based has not been de cided.
 As Richeson was called to the bar, Clerk Manning said:
 Clarence V. T. Richeson, this indictment charges you with mur- der in the first degree. On Nov ember 13 you pleaded not guilty to it. Do you desire to retract that plea?"
 "Yes sir" replied Richeson.
 What say you to that indict- ment?,' asked the clerk.
 Guilty" was the reply with out a change in tone.
 The only penalty provided by law" said Judge Sanderson. flor murder in the first degree is death. Have you pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree after due consideration and with the full knowledge and under standing of the nature and effect of such a plea?'
 ''Yes sir. D
 ''Is the plea made by you free and voluntary"
 "Yes sir"
 Did you consult counsel with reference to the nature of the Offense and the Dlea?"
 Again came the simple 'Yes sir"
 After the district attorney had read Richeson's confession, which was made a part of the record, Judge Sanderson asked;
 Clarence V. T. Richeson have you anything to say why sen tence of death should not be pass ed upon you?'
 The man apparent; ; swallowed a hard lump in his throat, but without even a shadow across his face he replied:
 No. sir; nothing further than have stated. "
 Rising in his seat Judge San derson pronounced theJ death penalty. ending with thefmpres- sive words:
 And may God in his Nfnite goodness have mercy on( your soul" -
