These figures I believe to be

In the consideration of my

what provisions will be made for

something in the neighborhood Of
$5,0OO.0O will more than suffice

form such other repairs as become
eminently necessary. A sugges-
ton contained in a little pamph-
let "The Highway" proposes
method which is deserving Of re-
! production. 1t says Zone man
can keep up two or three miles
of macadam road where he would
unquestionably be unable to keep
in good condition like amount
of unsurfaced road. With the
use however, of a team and drag,
he would be able to keep in coed
condition, twenty miles of ordi-
nary graded earth road. Some
very jealous advocates of the
drag clam everything for it,
from the removal of stumps and
rocks to the ditching Of the roads

but from experience, | know that
distractions must be removed

difficult with the road men of the
South to convince County author
tiles that this little machine is Of
value. The writer when in
charge of road work in a Ten
nessee County inagurated a sys~
TEN of dragging which proved
very successful. Ten roads were
graded a distance of three miles
each. The dragging was complet.
ed in November. With surface Of /

BETTER THAN A GLOD MINE

There is golden opportunity
that awaits only the taking on
the part Of the Southern farmer
and this opportunity exists III
stock-raising. No where III the
world can finer cattle be raised
at less expense than III the South.
Not only can all the necessary
feed stuff she grown here, but
there is considerable portion Of
the year when the cattle can al
most make their own living by
grazing. The finest bull that
ever went to the Chicago market
was a Durham bull shipped From
Mississippi town. The immense
bovine occupied an entire ear to
himself and when he reached the
Chicago stock yards commission
merchants in large numbers
tiocked to see him and were as
founded that such an animal
could be raised anywhere outside
of the West. During the past
year the best beef cattle received
at East st. Louis came from the
South.
There is no question about it
if is not an cXperlment-much
money can be made in raising
cattle for the market. 1t is Il
safe and sure undertaking.
As to raising hogs, that has
been done ak over the South for
many years, but not in sufficient
Qrantities 1t is no trouble to
raise hogs in this country, and
why the people do not take add
vantage Of the opportunity now
afforded in that line is an unex-
planned and unexpIainable mys-
terry.
Talk about gold mines-what
better gold mine could people de
sire than to raise plenty of eat
tie and hogs for the market. The
price of meat is soaring higher
than any aeroplane can go, and
it will remain high for a number
of years. 1t is conceded that
the price will not soon come down,
but even if it does it will not
drop below a profit-making price.
The opportunity is here. Peo-
pie can raise not only all the
meat that they can consume at
home, but they can raise meat
for the market-they can always
sell cattle and hogs for ready
money, and in addition to this
they can raise other things-al-
most anything that is needed for
home consumption. OF course,
it is easy to preach these things.
Put they are not impossible Of
accomplishment. They are easy
to do, if people would only make
up their minds to do them. There
is a great opportunity for South
ern farmers and some of them
are beginning to realize it. They
are the ones who will prosper,
despite the ravages of the boil
weevil. The secret of successful
farming is diversification and in
tensive methods.-News-Star. =

beyond the federal power to with
stand. The rebels followed as they
ran for Torreon and Villa did his ut
most to get between them and the

i BOSTON, Mar. 24.-Wm. A. Dorr O
Stockton, Calf, early today paid the
death penalty in the electric chail
at Charlestown state prison, for the
murder of George e. Marsh, wealthy
| Lynn, Mass, soap manufacturer. On
the afternoon of April H., 1912, Lynn
! police were requested to search for
George E. Marsh. The wealthy soap
maker had last been seen when he left
| his home the morning preceding.
About $3.50 ou the evening his disap-
pearance was brought to the atten-
ton of the police, Marsh's body was
found in the scrub growth of the Lynn
marshes at the edge of a sharp curve
on the boulevard between Lynn and
Salem.
The police at first reported that
Marsh had been struck by an auto
mobile speeder and killed An inves-
tigation at the morgue, however, show
ed bullet hole in Marshs temple. For
a week the police of Lynn and Boston
were completely mystified. Then were
developed clues of an unknown man
who had been seen hanging about the
der an abandoned automobile runa-
bout, rented from a Boston garage,
and which Marsh was seen to have en-
tered on the morning of his disap-
pearance, was found buried to the
hubs in the marshes. A description of
the man who rented it tailed with the
description of the man who had been
hanging around about the Marsh home.
This description also fitted that of a
distant relative, about 25 years old,
who lived in Stockton, Cal. With moth
ing to connect this man with the crime
but these meagre descriptions Massa-
chusetts police visited the home of I
Dorr in California, where they found |
he was engaged to woman older |
.han himself who also was distantly |
-elated to Marsh. Dorr expected to |
snare in an estate thought to be ap-
one million dollars. Dorr
vas learned to have started for Massa-
husetts about two weeks before Marsh
vas murdered. Arrested and taken
o Massachusetts, Dorr was identified
s being the man who watched
farshs home.
Dorr feigned insanity so we'll for
ime it was thought he never would

signing was futile and confessed on

WOlM Form Association.
One of the chief benefits to be i'm
mediately derived from the increase
of the law library from 100 to 1900
volumes will be the eligibility of the
college of law to membership in the
Association of American Law Schools,
to which all good law schools be-
long. Among the important qualifica-
tions necessary for admission are the
high standard of work done and the
possession of 5000 volumes on law.
Dean Ayers has already been assur-
ed by the executive committee of this
his close personal friends, that Ida
ho has met every demand except the
library requirement, and that, as soon
as Idaho can report the ownership of
5000 books, it's application will re-
ceive favorable action.
The Importance of equipping the
law school with adequate library
facilities will, Dean Ayers is confident,
appeal not only to the lawyers of the
state but also to the many clients who
have enormous capital invested in
Idaho and to whose interest it is that
he laws of the state should have be-
'ore the courts that wise and fair in
and presentation which
only a well-trained lawyer can give.
