A visit to the home OF Mr. and
Mrs. H.. L.. Brandt, who live mst OUT
side the corporate limits of Wal
halla, and a talk with these
good people, constitutes a lib
eral education" along the lines of
farming and gardening. The garden,
over which Mrs. Brandt presides. is
a picture when in full gro wing rim.
and ever now, as 1t is in curse OF
preparation, it is not only Interesting,
but attractive to the eye The EAR
den spot is laid off in beds, ana in
the center is a beautifully ARRANGED
flower garden spot, the beds at each
side being utilized in the production
of the many vegetables, to the ger

never seen a more attractive arden
spot. Even the soil itself Is attract

there is nothing more attractive thal

bilities of nature when the matte o

patches Of alfalfa and clover tAnt Mr.I
Brandt is c~ultivating just by the side
Of his wife's garden. The alfalfa is
now twelve inches high where
it has not been disturbed by early
cutting. and the big red clover pre-
sents a veritable picture with It's new
and gaudy heads just forming. This
clover and alfalfa have been furnish
ing green feed for the Brandt cows
for a good period already, and the
alfalfa will continue to do so until
late in the fall. Mr.. Brandt gets
regularly five cuttings from this Great
feed producing plant, and his son,
Henry w. Brandt, told us that he
had been growing alfalfa for several
years, n year in which the condi-
lions were peculiarly favorable, get

There are lots Of people who still
claim that they could make as good
crops and have rs good garden as
Mr.. and Mrs. Brandt "if they had as
good land but we have been i'm
pressed with the fact that anybody
can have as good land If they will
but make it so. Mr.. Brandt has Of
ten told us that 40 years ago he was
warned that he and his family
would starve to death trying to work
that old blackjack ridge" But in
stead Of starving, he and his have
.waXed fat. Intensive farming has
transformed the old, poor ridge into
a garden spot. The pity Is that so
few of us realize that we could do
the same thing with our lands that
are poor mainly from neglect.

William Malone Pastes VIII
Love Over the Head With
an Axe Handle

Although William Love and
William Malone both have the
same Christian name and are
brothers in the same church,
there is no brotherly love between
them. In fact. Malone and Love
are anything but friendly. and
the warfare between them, which
originated over church matters,
eliminated last Monday, when
Malone hit Love over the head
with an axe handle, the blow
having fractured his skull.
The row occurred on the Lollar
place, four miles northwest of
Columbus, and was investigated
by Constable John Morehead.
Love was taken to the Mckinley
Sanatorium and Malone was
lodged in Jail to await the out
come of his injuries.

Howry Not Appointed.

The statement made in the
Commercial Sunday to the effect
that Hon.. Charles B. Howry of
Oxford had been appointed chief
justice of the United States court
of claims was erroneous. The
statement was made on the
strength of a special sent out
out from Washington which as.
serted that President Wilson had
announced Judge Howry's ap-
pointment.
1t seems that Judge Howry was
a victim of the 0sler theory,
President Wilson agreeing with
the English savant that public
officials should retire at the age
of 70. Judge Howry is in his
6Sth year. and President Wilson
is said to have offered him the
appointment with the stipulation
that he would retire at the expi-
ration Of two years. Judge How
ry refused to accept the appoint
ment under this condition, and
Edward ]. Campbell of Birming-
ham was appointed.
Mr.. Campbell is a warm per-
sonal friend of Congressman Un-
derwood, the Democratic floor
leader, and has for a number of
years been his political adviser.
