No Mercy For kGht.riden
Says Judge Gordon

AT the opening of Circuit
Court in MariOa a few days ago,
Judge Elem Gordon, the presid-
ing Ssdge of Madisonville, says
that no consideration should be
shown plant bed scrapers and
declared that IA man would not
be indicted or tried in his court
for shooting another that he
caught in the act of scraping his
plant bed, if there was no other
way out. He further says that
from early time that the form
ing of pools and com bining for
restraint of trade was always
followed by trouble and strife.
His remarks we're received with
much interest and seemed to
meet the hearty approval OF all
those present.

Location of GARDEN Of Eden,

Many Biblical scholars place the
Garden of Eden between the Euphrates
and the 1igris. This is now to be re-
claimed and ono again made fertile.
English engineers have already in
saded the region, and are building a
great dam across the Euphrates, not
far from Bagdad, by which water will
be carried over the land as is done in
Egypt and India. That the soil is ex-
ceedingly rich there IS no denying.
