his wife, Zelia, daughter of Wat

Attorneys say the case will be a
struggle between contradictory hand
writing experts who have examined
the suicide" note which Grondin
alleged his wife wrote to him Just
before she inhaled gas and died last
October The note, telling of alleged
breaches of fidelity, caused the Ia

to institute an investigation. Two
handwriting experts have had the
note under examination and today
one of them announced positively
that the note had been written by
Grondin, while the second was equal

by Mrs. Grondin. One OF the eX
perts represented the prosecution,

room with a box over her head and
a gas tube inserted under it. Gron-
din has been under surveillance since
and was arrested when the district
attorney announced that poison had
been found in Mrs. Grondn's body,
which was found several days ago.
Detectives employed by Grondin's
counsel spent the day in a fruitless
search for the ghost which Gron
din says was made to appear Sat

said to be giving him the third

BACK To BLUE
BACK SPELLER
PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS WILL
WRESTLE WITH JAW-sREAK-
ERS IN CONTEST.

Prof. C. w. Richards stated this
morning that there has been some
criticism of the public schools be-
cause there was not so much at
tention paid to spelling at the pres
ent time as there were in years gone
by, and that really good spoilers are
hard to find. Prof Richards stated
that in manner this was true, that
oral spoilers were not up to the
standard set by their grandfathers,
when such works as Triphyllous and
Cheiranthus rolled trippingly from
the tongue of three-year- old
voungster without the flicker of an
eyelash, but that in writing the SPELL
ing was much better. However, he
has inaugurated a revival of the
oldfashioned spelling school and
every week at the high school au-
iltorium crack spoilers from the
various wand schools will compete
for honors. The first contest will
be held at the High school auditor
ium this afternoon when five pupils
under Prof. Adams of the Third ward
school selected from the seventh
and eighth grades, will meet a like
number selected from the same
grades of the First ward school, led
by Prof. Hurley and battle for su-
premacy.
Prof Richards stated this morning
that he desired the general public
70 take an interest in these contests
and attend every week. He also add
ed that he expected to develop a
nupil that would be able to uphold
the supremacy of the city schools
in a state contest this season.

Dallas News of what Col. Suggs,
state highway commissioner, said at
the convention held in Fort Worth,
the 26th:
Texas First Good Road.
Col. Sidney Suggs, highway COM.
missioner of the state of Oklahoma,
addressed the convention on business
methods in road construction. Col.
Suggs is former Texan, having
removed to Arimore twenty years
ago from Mount Pleasant. He told
that the first good road in Texas
was between Mount Pleasant and
Jefferson 1t was built forty years
ago. The work was done by an Of
tcer of the army who was in Texas
engaged in reconstruction work. He
employed a civil engineer and the
people of that country were not at
all enthusiastic over the prospecl of
for a good road But the road was
in every way a success.
Col Suggs told the history Of the
good roads movement in Oklahoma
He enlightened the convention by
the statement that Oklahoma is the
fIst state in the nation TO have a
provision in its constitution making
it mandatory upon the legislature
to provide a state department of
highways He told how the cOnstruc-
tion of good roads alone will save
the people. The young men are
hurrying to the cities, he said, and
have been for fifty years, deserting
the farms, with the end in sight of
a nation of farm tenants and people
who will mot enjoy the freedom tnat
ought TO be theirs. With good roads
would come other inducements for
the boys and girls to stay on the
farms and accomplish things in
behalf of society.
Mr.. Suggs is an advocate of gov
aid to highways ana WOulu
have congress make very Large ap-
for road building. Hell
argued that the national roads would
induce construction of state roads
and that state roads would foster
county and community roads, and
that by taking the initiative the
government would be accomplishing
great things for the people.
" A good roads congress and a
meeting of the Ozarks Trail asso-
citation is to be held in Tulsa in
May, and Mr. Suggs read an invi-
tation to this congress to attend
the Tulsa meeting.

Better Poultry for 1915

Gull your stock and Gull 1t closely.
Small undergrown specimens, birds
with pinehed tails, fowls out of all
proportion to the standard require
ments Of the breed. and any other
birds which would not be a good,
healthy, vigorous breeding, stock
should be discarded and sent to the
market. The best of your female
breeders this past year should be
retained and mated to large, vigor-
Gus cockerels from heavy egg laying
strains. II does not matter what
breed you are raising, there Is some
reliable breeder on the coast who Is
developing the egg qualities Of this
particular breed. II you do not
want exhibition specimens, you can
secure large, vigorous breeders for
five dollars each, that will be worth
many times this amount to you in
building up a profit-bearing flock.
The main point is do not be too

you Gull the better results you will
get. You will have a fine founda-
ton stock for the next year, and
more care exercised as to what birds
are kept for breeders is going to
put the flocks where there will be
vigor enough in them to hatch
enough Of the eggs set, and to raise
enough Of the hatched chicks to
yield a reasonable profit. The sub
ject is too large to more than touch
on it in a general way, but / want
every reader to do better with his

Make your poultry raising worth
while.
