DECISION EXPECTED IN
 MURDER CASE MONDAY
Cases of Clarence Dewein and JO Strong in Supreme Court Will Probably be Decid-
 ed Next Monday.

Little Rock, Oct. 8.-The Ar kansas Supreme Court is expect ed to render a decision Monday in the appeals of Clarence De- vein and Jo Strong, convicted in Saline county of first degree murder. These boys killed an aged merchant while robbing his store. Dewein is alleged to have confessed the crime and gave the evidence which led to the convic- tion of Strong.
 Attorneys who appealed for the boys expect a reversal be- cause they were forced to accept on the jury which tried Strong and Dewein a juror who should have been excused for cause; and another juror who had not only expressed an opinion on the case before it came to trial, but sought a place in the jury as well. They further allege that Dewein did not make the confes- sion of his own free will, as the law requires, and that the court refused to give instructions on second degree murder, as asked by them. Both boys are under sentence of death.

SECRETARY OF STATE
 MAY REVOKE CHARTER
New Jersey Oil Corporation Moved Case Federal Court Without Consent; Is
 Violation of Act

Little Rock, Oct. 8.-Secretary of State Hodges announces that he will in all probability revoke the charter of the Southern Cot ton Oil Company, a New Jersey corporation, to prohibit their do- ing business in Arkansas.
 This is done upon the showing made by Stuckey & Stuckey and Campbell & Suits, Newport at torneys, to the effect that Frank Collins, who had been in the en- ploy of the company's mill at Newport for one week, had brought suit for damages for personal injuries sustained while engaged in oiling machinery; his left leg was broken and he was otherwise maimed and injured, Dec. 10,- 1913, and asked for $5,OOO damages, on Sept. 8, 1914 the corporation, without the con- sent and over the protest of the plaintiff, removed the suit to the Federal court at Batesville. For feiture of the charter is asked because the removal from state to federal court is in violation of Act SIS, approved May 13, 1907.
 In the case of the Kimberlite Diamond Mining and Washing Company under similar condi- tions, the Supreme Court sus- tained the Secretary of State in a revocatoin of the charter, hold ing that it is mandatory and not optional. The state has pend- ing against the company suits asking aggregate penalties of about $4,000,000 for alleged vio- lations of the antitrust law. There is question whether a revocation of charter will abate this action, and a test suit against another corporation Is now pending in the Arkansas Supreme Court.

EGYPT'S COTTON CROP
Same Difficulty Experienced in Marketing the Staple as Ob-
 tains in United States

Washington, Oct. Egypt, as we'll as the United States, is facing a serious crisis because of the inability to market her cot ton crop. To ease the cotton sit uation it has been decided that the national bank shall advance money to cotton growers on all cotton offered, storing the lint for securing, thus protecting the small cultivator from forced sal es at sacrifice prices. The large cultlvatOrs are expected to hold their production themselves. To prevent a surplus next year the minister of agriculture already has begun to formulate plans to reduce the area planted by about bo per cent. The cultivators VIII be instructed to grow rice, corn' beans and other grains and lOodstutfs instead of cotton.

TO MAKE CONCEN-
 TRAPPED APPLE CIDER
Department of AgricuIture's Method of Concentrating } Gallons of Raw Cider
 by Freezing.

Washington, D. c. Oct. B. The specialists of the fruit and vegetable utilization laboratory of the Department of Agricul- ture have completed arrange ments for a commercial test of the recently discovered method of concentrating apple cider by freezing and centrifugal meth |ods. As result a cider mill in |the Hood River Valley, Oregon, will this fall undertake to manu- fracture and test on the retail market 1000 gallons of concen- trated cider, which will repre- sent 5000 gallons of ordinary apple cider with only the water removed.
 The new method it is believed makes possible the concentrat- ing of cider in such a way that it will keep better than raw cid CT and also be so reduced in bulk that it can be shipped profitably long distances from the apple growing regions. The old at tempts to concentrate cider by
 boiling have been failures be- cause heat destroys the delicate flavor of cider. Under the new method nothing is taken from the cider but the water, and the resultant product is a thick li- |quid which contains all the ap- pie juice products and which can be restored to excellent sweet cider by the simple addition of four parts of water. The ship pers and consumers, therefore, avoid paying freight on the wat CT in ordinary cider. In addi- tion, the product when properly barreled, because of it's higher amount of sugar, keeps better than raw cider, which quickly turns to vinegar.
 The process as described by the Departments specialists con- sists of freezing ordinary cider isolid. The cider ice is then crushed and put into centrifugal machines such as are used in making cane sugar. When the cider ice is whirled rapidly the concentrated juice is thrown off and collected. The water re- mains in the machine as ice.
 At ordinary household refri- gerator temperatures this sirup- Hike cider will keep perfectly for month or six weeks, and if kept at low temperatures in cold stor
 age will keep for prolonged per iods. At ordinary house tenn peratures it, of course, will keep shorter time.
 To make the concentrated sir up, the cider mill must add to it's equipment an ice-making ma chine and centrifugal machinery so that the process is not prac- ticable on a small scale. The spe- cialists are hopeful, however, that the commercial test soon to be inaugurated in Oregon will show that it will be possible for apple growers to concentrate their excess cider and ship it profitably to the far South or to other nonproducing regions. The specialists also believe that it will enable apple producers to prolong the market for cider.

The Governor and The Courts.

Discussion, especially cussing, of
the Governors action in appointing
judges of the courts does not abate
in the state press. The Bennington
Banner calls attention to the fact
that it was not the legislature of
1912 that is responsible for allowing
the selection of the judges to pass
out of control of the legislature but
the legislature of 1910. That the
legislature of 1910 was the only one
that could propose constitutional
changes and that the legislature of
1912 could only approve of the
changes proposed TWO years earlier.
This seems correct and makes the
following bit of history pertinent.
Allen M. Fletcher was a member
of the special committee to propose
constitutional changes to the legis-
lature of 1910.
AS a member of that committee
according to what he once told the
writer in private conversation) he
PAOpO0OO lAdI TIC SOfCA AOA NC S4fOA
the power to appoint the judges and
that all judges be compelled to re-
tire at the age of seventy. The com
mittee voted down the proposition.
Allen M. Fletcher was a member
of the legislature of 1910, the body
that recommended the changes with
out proper provision of filling the
vacancies in the judgeships that
would occur on December 1, 1914.
At the time Allen M. Fletcher
made the proposal that the governor
should appoint the judges and when
he was a member of the legislature
that made the imperfect proposal Of
a change in the constitution he was
planning and hoping to be elected
governor of the state in 1912 and be
governor of Vermont when the va.
cancy in the judgeships occurred.
We shall not claim here that he
deliberately allowed the hiatus in
the proposed changes of the consti-
tuition to go unchallenged for the
purpose of getting at the courts of
Vermont, but give the history above
and will allow the reader to decide
for himself who let the cat get into
the meal.

Secretary of Agriculture Houston

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
in his annual report says that any
credit needs of the agricultural com
munity beyond those cared for un-
der the federal reserve law should
be cared for by a system of Co
operative credit associations f.
nanced with private funds, by means
of which the combined =, credit of
farming communities could be uti-
lized, and by system of land mort
gage banks, likewise, privately cap
itaIized. This is practically what
the Caledonian suggested a few
weeks ago instead of the state loan
ing money to people beginning farm
ing and it is pleased to see the idea
advocated by such a high authority
as the national secretary of agricuI-
ture.

Iinquent on their dues for the year
pay. the association can complete its
years work free of debt.
The matter of continuing the or
ganization for another year could not
be acted upon at that meeting but the
statements of several practical farm
ers that they would rather pay $40
year than to see it stop indicates
that majority of the members want
the work continued Doubtless it
will be necessary to increase the men,
bership fee to So for the next year,
but the testimony of several farmers
that they had saved from Sc to $40
a ton on fertilizers purchased
through the association shows they
can well afford to pay the small fee
required.
Our impression from the meeting
is that the Caledonia County Farm
ers Association will be continued
and that the fees will be kept SO
reasonable that any farmer in the
county who wants to receive its ben
efits will be able to be member and
profit by the assistance of trained
county agent If it does continue
the value of demonstration work will
be so well shown that it can be de-
finitely decided whether or not it
will be wise to increase it and make
it permanent
