Fee, Attorney De-
clares to House Impeach-
ment Investigators.

How he withdrew a claim for $500
fee against the National Bureau of
Literature and Art after Justice Wright
conferred with him was told the sub
committee investigating the impeach-
ment charges against Justice Daniel
Thew Wright by Attorney A. E. l.
Leckie, who was the only witness ex-
amined at the morning session.
THE fee was standing unpaid for
some time" explained Mr.. Lsckie,
when Justice Wright came to my Of
flee, and said he had been selected by
the board of directors Of the bureau to
take up the matter with me. He said
the board was OF the opinion that, as
I had received a fee of $500 as at
torney for the receiver of the company,
the amount was ample for all services
rendered. / stated to Justice Wright
that L was not so much concerned with
the fee as the manner in which the
company had acted. / asked him what
to do. and he said that 1t was not for
him to advise me, but that it was his
opinion that the friendship of the
members of the board was worth more
than the $500. One of the arrange
lieu Of the fee, but 1 got neither the
bonds or the fee
Asked by Congressman Nelson to ex-
plain the full meaning of the value Of
friendship, Mr.. Leckie said that he
understood that the directors felt that
he was paid as attorney for the re-
ceiver, and" he said, "if I persisted
In pressing my claim for $500, bf
course, would lose their friendship
That included Justice Wight's
friendship" asked Mr.. Nelson.
Yes. He was on the board" replied
the witness
did you discuss with Justice Wright
the reasonableness of your claim?"
Yes. / told Justice Wright that my
services for the company were worth
900. and that / accepted only $2,J00"
On cross-examination by Attorney
Darlington, Mr.. Leckie said the confer
ence with Justice Wright was friendly.
and that he did not consider that Jus
uce Wright was intimidating him into
abandoning the fee.
The hearing then adjourned until 2
O'Clock.

PICK APPLES TO SAVE THEM
Has Attained Full Growth-Don't
Shake Trees.
CBy A. CHAPIN.)

-
Apples that are expected to go In.
to storage should be picked Just be-
fore they get mellow or fall from the
trees.
They must not be picked too soon,
however, but should be left until they
have attained their full growth and
color. No orchardist of any account
now shakes apples from the tree, but
picks them one by one and places
them In a basket or bag suspended
from the pieker's shoulders.
Apples should not be packed until
four or FIVE days after they have been
picked. They should then be kept in
a shed until freezing weather comes
on. If the apples are picked when dry,
and in season. they will stand a great
deal of cold, but Of course the frost
should not be allowed to touch them.
The boxes or barrels in the shed
should be so placed that the air can
circulate freely between them.
When the freezing weather comes
on, the apples should be removed to

WATER REQUIRED FOR FARM
Consumption VIII Vary From Day to
Day and With the seasons--Pro-
vide for Fire Protection.

According to the department OF agFi-
culture, each member of a farmers
family requires for all purposes from
rs to 40 gallons of water per day;
each cow IL gallons, each horse 10
gallons, each hog 2h gallons, and each
sheep 2 gallons per day. The water
consumption will vary from day to
day and with the seasons. Fire pro-
lection should also be considered, and
in determining the size of tank the
maximum amount likely to be required
should be provided.
For family of six persons a ZOO
gallon supply should be sufficient IL
the water is used in the house only.
On a farm where water is supplied
to family of 6 persons, 10 horses,
IL COWS, 25 hogs and Is sheep, the
daily storage supply should be at least
500 gallons, with whatever additional
amount the farmer deems necessary
for fire protection.
