Peg Leg and Glass
Eye Used in Fight
One puelist Hur!s His Fake Optic
and the Other Yields
Wooden Limb.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. TO-
A unique fight in which a glass eye
and wooden leg were the chief
weapons used, was fought in Charles
ton last night
Alexander James, OF Paint Creek,
and James Edwards, who came here
few days ago from Kentucky, were
the principals.
1t all happened over wooden leg.
Edwards, who is a peglegged man,
loaded up with liquor and lay down
for a nap. A practical Joker applied a
coat of paint to the wooden leg and
then sprinkled a handful of horse
hair over 1t, making it appear hair
had grown on the artificial leg.
When Edwards awoke somebody
told him James was responsible for
the trick. A few minutes later Ed
wards met James, who has glass
eye, and calmly unstrapping the
wooden prop struck James over the
head, inflicting severe cash.
James, knowing he had done moth
ing to provoke the assault, snatched
out his glass eye and hurled it at
Edwards, cutting a deep cash in his
temple.

COLUMBIA, MO, Jan. 10.-To live
in a community which has never had
Christmas tree, has no wagons and
no roads except creek bottoms, whose
old people carry their black covered
homemade collins around with them
when they go on long visit, is novel,

Miss Orpha Moore has for the last
two years worked in such a commit
nifty. She is employed by the South
ern Presbyterian Home Mission Board
to teach in one of their schools in IA
mountains of Eastern Kentucky.
The people in this community at
one time owned both their timber and
coal. They sold the coal rights yea rs
ago for 81 or SO IN acre. They have
cut the timber over. S. now they are
very poor.

Woman Must Give Up
Patent of Nobility

SALEM, MASS, Jan. 10.-Under a
Supreme Court decree Mrs. Mary E.
Mcdonald, of Rockport, must deliver
to Charles J. Wendell, of Skowhegan,
Maine, a parchment patent of nobility
bestowed in 1890 by King Carolus, of
Sweden, upon Adolph Wendell.
Mrs. Mcdonald purchased the pat
ent for $40 several years ago, and
Wendell sought the aid of the courts
to recover it on the contention that,
under Swedish law, this visible token
of nobility should remain in custody
of the eldest male descendant, which
he claims to be.
Wendell Is ordered to reimburse

MORE FARMING
To CUT DOW
COST Of LIVING
Secretary of Agriculture Houston
Urges the Cultivation of Vast
Areas of Unimproved Land.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-"With a
population of less than $4,000, 900, liv-
ing on more than 100000 square
miles, it is unreasonable to speak as
if our territory had been much more
than pioneered"
With this encouragement. David r.
Houston, Secretary of Agriculture
urges greater activity In the cultiva-
ton of untouched land as a means
for reduction in the high cost Of
living. He says that only in a few
sections reasonably full returns have
been reached. Continuing, he says:
According to the best statistics
available, 1t appears that the total
arabic land in the Union Is approx
mately 935,000.000 acres; that only
about 400,000,000 Of this is included
in farmland, improved; that 100, O00,-
900 is unimproved and not included
in farms; and the remainder is I'M
improved land included in farms.
Too Easy to Live.
We are suffering the penalty Of
too great ease of making living"
Free distribution of seeds by Con-
gressmen should be discontinued, the
Secretary recommends. He would
conduct in it's stead a constructive
work in securing and distributing new
seeds and plants.
On the good roads proposition the
Secretary says:
Good roads are prerequisite for
better marketing, for better schools
and for more comfortable rural liv-
ing. Better sanitation and hygiene in
the home, in the school and in the
community are just as vital for the
rural community as for the urban"
To gain information to enable the
department better to serve rural
women, the Secretary has addressed
letters of inquiry to the women of
$4,000 selected farms covering every
county.
