BOB GREEN
FATALLY WOUNDED
BY S. F. Johnson at ParOquet
Who Is Reported To Have
Been Justified.

Bob Green was shot and
probably fatally wounded by
S. f. johnson Wednesday af-
ternoon at Paroquet, says the
Newark Journal.
Green had done some work for
johnson, and they had some
slight trouble over a settlement
for the work. This was several
days ago, and Green is said to
have chased Johnson into the
store with a brick. Later. how
ever, they succeeded in making
an amicable settlement, and
johnson says he expected no
further trouble.
Green went to Newport We'd
nesday morning and returned
on the local pretty we'll tanked
up. He lives near Johnson, and
a short time after returning
home he went over into john
sons horse lot and renewed the
trouble, and it is said, fired two
shots at Johnson, although this
is denied by some.
Johnson secured his shotgun
and shot Green, the load enter
ing the left side of his head and
face. Green was still alive at
noon Thursday, but it is said
that there is no chance for his
recovery.
Johnson surrendered to the of
ficers and came to Newark and
appeared before Squire A. H.
Saylors and asked to be permit
ted to give bond. Bond was fix
ed at 1000, which he gave for
his appearance before Squire
Saylors for preliminary trial on
Saturday.
Both men are married and
have families.
Johnson is well known in New
port and enjoys an excellent rep
utation as being an intelligent
and thrifty farmer of amiable
disposition and good character,
whose friends here are 10th to
believe that he was at fault in
this trouble, but think that it
was forced upon him in defend
ing his life.

And may | say here that that

SO far as we live up to the prin-

Our nation shall fail or succeed

The founders 81 our nation

words of the great Washington

nation, and we will soon be num-

God in His love and wisdom has
chosen our nation to be the home

directing our forefathers who
were prosecuted at home, to this

God had by special ProVldences

the blight of Islam and from the

YOM KIPPUR WILL
BEGIN AT SUNSET
Day of Atonement Is Hottest in
the Calendar of the Jew
ish Church.

Atonement, the hottest day in
the Jewish calendar, will be inau-
gurated at sunset today. Yom
Kippur will end at sunset tomor-
row for the Reformed Jews,
while the Orthodox Jews observe
two days.
The origin and purpose of
Yom Kippur is thus explained in
paper prepared by the Central
Conference of American Rabbis ::
The Day of Atonement is the
hottest in the Jewish calendar.
This year it falls on Saturday,
the 18th of October, It's biblical
designation is Yom ha-Kippurim,
later shortened to Yom Kippur.
According to Biblical tradition
it is one Of the cycle Of holidays
instituted by Moses; for we
find it mentioned in Leviticus
% 1862, in the list of holidays.
It's ceremonial is described in
Lev. 16, it's sacrifices in Num-
bers 29;7-11.
However, the Day of Atone
ment is not dependent on the
sacrificial service prescribed in
the Bible. Thus, after the de-
struction Of the temple in the
year 70, when sacrifices were
abolished, the Day of Atonement
was able to survive, and of all
holidays of the Jewish calendar
it has most completely held it's
own in the hearts and observ-
ance of the Jewish people. En-
phasis was laid upon confession,
penitence, prayer and good
deeds. 1t became the day Of "af-
ficting ones soul' Isaiah 1913,
81 which was interpreted as
meaning fasting from the eve of
Atonement until the following
evening. AS in the Biblical cere-
monial, confession continues to
be an important feature of the
service; yet, while confession
brings forgiveness Of sins be-
tween man and his Maker, sins
between man and man are not
forgiven until redress is made
for the injury. The eve OF
Atonement Day, therefore, be-
comes the occasion for the cessa-
ton of feuds and i'll will. And
the Day Of Atonement is known
as the Sabbath OF OaDDaCnS-
when we are at peace with all the
world.
The service of the Day OF
Atonement beginning with Xii
Nidre service on the eve OF
Atonement is a continuous one
throughout the entire day. The
prayers in the synagogues are
intoned in plaintive, penitential
tones. The spirit of the master
lly sermon of Isaiah isaiah 81:
4-9), which is the prophetical
portion of the morning reading
is manifested throughout.

THE Frisco Railroad Is arranging
to do considerable scientific farm.
ing, and viii at once open t~hirty-six
farms in Oklahoma and twenty-five
in Missouri for demonstration pur-
poses. The work is being carried on
under the personal direction of
Frank Anderson, director Of develop
ment Of the Frisco, who returned yes.
terday from an inspection Of sites for
the Oklahoma farms. The railroad
will work in cooperation with the
Federal and State agricultural de,
partments. 1t is expected under the
present plan to accomplish two
things: First, to show the farmer
how to raise the products best adapt
ed TO his particular locality, and to
give him a start Of pure seeds for
future crops; and, second, to aid
the farmer in establishing a sys
tenn Of marketing which will bring
him the best possible price for his
crops. It is proposed to select from
five to ten acres on some farm near
a railway station and place an expert
in charge Of each farm who will re
main until the crop is harvested and
marketed. The proceeds from these
demonstration farms win be turned
over to the owners Of the tracts Of
land on which the farms are located.
All this goes to show that Audrain
made the proper move when it Sc
cured a farm advisor.
