BY DUKE WELLINGTON.

The most discussed proposition
around the Court House this week
was the action of George II. Drum,
convicted of manslaughter in connec-
ton with the shooting to death of Po-
liceman John T. Mcdonald, in making
an appeal in open court to Judge
Harry V. Osborne last Monday for a
new trial, after Judge Osborne had
sentenced him to serve not less than
five nor more than ten years in State
prison.
The general opinion of those who
know the facts in the case is that
Drum escaped luckily in getting away
with q manslaughter verdict at the
hands of the jury, and that he is very
foolish to even think of applying for
q new trial and again taking chance
of having to face death in the electric
chair for his crime.
Frank NJ. McDermit, Drums coun-
sci. it is understood, will not take any
part in any steps toward looking for
a new trial for his client, and has
strongly advised him against any such
course. Drum, however, insists he
was unjustly convicted and intimates
that if his counsel refuses to apply
Tor q new JTldl LOT MIN lie VIII lhdhS
the application himself. He has the
right to do this, as a man unable to
hire counsel, or for any other reason
unrepresented by one can appear
in court and make application for a
new trial.
In connection with Drum a lawyer,
who shall be nameless, sprung this
one on Mr.. McDermit the other day.
Meeting the latter in the Court House
corridor. the lawyer remarked; Il
understand a charge of attempted sui
eide is to be made against George
Drum" :,
what for?" inquired McDermit, all
excited.
why. for applying for new trial
in his case. That comes about as near
to attempting. suicide as anything
know Of" was the reply.
And there is a lot of truth in that
rather grim joke, as it is the oelief
of almost everyone except Drum
himself that a new trial for MIN
would result in a verdict of murder
in the first degree, with the resultant
penalty of death.
Judge Allen r. Shay, who has been
holding Quarter Sessions Court in
this county during the past week. is
a resident of Sussex county, of which
county Andrew Van Blarcom, as

BRADLEY GIRL IS
ON HER WAY HOME
Leaves Foster and Starts With
Father from Alabama for
Jersey.

MOBILE, Ala, Jan. 17.-Henry c..
Bradley left today for his nome IN
Pemberton, N. j., with his sixteen
year-old daughter, Delilah, whose
elopement with Joel M. Foster
brought about Fosters arrest on
charge of violating the Mann White
Slave law.
In order to hold the girl the author
tiles, after Fosters arrest and release
on bail, charged her and Foster with
violation of a statute of the State
This case was to have come up yes
terday but was postponed until Mon
day. 1t is believed Miss Bradley's de-
parture will result in the dismissal OF
the charge against her.
After the arrest of Foster, who is
the wealthy head of q poultry farm
at Browns Mills, N j.. and the son
of the president of the international
Correspondence Schools, the girl was
defiant. She said she would stick TO
him and that he intended to get
divorce and marry her. She had been
his stenographer.
Even after her father, who is bag
gagemaster for the Pennsylvania
railroad at Pemberton, arrived, she
insisted she would not return home.
Then the scandal began to tell on her.
Under the pleadings OF her parent
and repeated questioning by govern
ment agents she broke down and was
taken to a hospital suffering from
nervous prostration.
Yesterday it was decided she was
able to go to court, but she had to
be taken in an ambulance. After the
postponement of the case the chief
of police ordered her taken to the
City Hospital in charge of her father.
When Fosters friends learned that
she was in the custody OF her father
they withdrew from her bond and her
father was substituted. He was then
free to take her back to New Jersey,
and it is believed there was an under
standing between him and the au-
thorities that if she was taken away
the charge against her would be dis
missed without FORGETTING the bond.
The government can get her as
witness against Foster any time it
wants her.

ing value Of farm when buildings
are properly kept up and regularly
paintedi A careful inquiry of num-
Der of leading bankers in the Mississippi
valley, including such states as Iowa,
Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and
Missouri, reveals the fact that in nearly
every case the bankers did not hesitate
to say that they would loan all the way
from 5 to so per cent more on land
where farm buildings were well painted
and kept in good condition. They main
tain that well keptup and well painted
buildings and fences are an indication
of thrift, and that the thrifty farmer is
good client, and to him money can be
safely loaned. An average of the re-
turns from these bankers shows that
the increased loan value because of
painted buildings is around % per cent.
Some Of these bankers make inter
esting comment. A Michigan concern
says that while not especially prepared
to advise definitely in response to this
inquiry, the officers would loan more
money on farms where buildings were
painted than where they were not so
treated. This bank also finds that
where houses, barns and fences are
well taken care of, the farm is a pro-
fitable proposition, and bankers in gen
eral consider the farmer a good client.
Another Michigan bank says "farm
buildings out of repair and needing
paint indicate that the owner is slow

HOMESTEAD SEEKERS LOCATED

has been locating people on Canadian
lands for great many years and has
always given the best Of satisfaction.
They are the only people on the Coast

pay" Such farms ara rated at about
one-third of the assessed value for loans.
Where the farm buildings are in good
shape the rating is one-half. The
president of middle western bank says
that when real estate loans are consid
cred, painted buildings are always taken
into consideration in making an csti-
mate. The general appearance of the
property surrounding the house and
barn and also the fields and fences
would be carefully observed. He fur
ther says that he has no hesitancy in
saying that he would absolutely refuse
loan on farms where the buildings
were not kept up and well painted. In
his judgment, unpainted farm buildings
would reduce the loan value at least 25
per cent.
A Minnesota banker says that he is
much more willing to loan money where
the buildings are well painted. In his
particular case he believes that he
would loan 20 per cent more than if
the buildings were not properly taken
care of. A farmer who will keep his
buildings painted takes much deeper
interest in his work than one who does
not. Another Minnesota bank says that
we'll painted buildings have resulted in
securing from his bank sometimes as
high as % per cent more money than
where the buildings are not painted. An
Ohio concern says that it will loan %
per cent more money on well kept farm
where buildings are painted at least
once every five years.

The first silo that I ever built | put

in less than week, not working hard
1t did not cost me over $25-a very

one so small, but that was my first ex-
pertinent.
1t was made Of 2x4 and undressed
stuff. The slaves were simply set up
edge to edge without matching or bevel-
ing. But it was success. The damp
ness and the heat of the silage closed
the cracks so that they were air tight,
and as l had but pne door, there was
only small quantity of spoiled feed
around it and the necessary loss on top.
The remainder Of it was as good as |

Silo Saves Feed.

most favorable conditions in any other
way results in a great loss, which is al

Practical Silo Results
BY ROY COLEMAN,

have never seen dairy man who has
tried the feeding of silage who would
think of keeping milk cows without
it. l was talking with dairy man
just few days ago. He said that he
built silo last fall and did not see how
he got along without it, He said that
he had seen several silos-that there had
been silos in his community, but to him
it seemed something Of an experiment.
The cost of building loomed up before
him, and he had been too busy to give
much attention to the success of his
neighbors, who had been using silos for
several years. Then, the prospect of
losing his feed kept him in dread. But
one season IS experience showed him
that a sllo is great necessity.
The same may be said of the farmer
who raises beef cattle and raises his own
feed, and if he does not raise his own
feed he can not very well afford to
feed them except in very unusual sea
sons
Expense Is Small.
In the first place, you can get much
more stuff from given amount of land
in corn silage than in any other way. On
good land in favorable season you can
get at very little expense from eight to
20 tons of the very best feed per acre
planted in corn and peas, or corn alone
The silo is the means of saving every
pound of this vast amount of feed in the
best possible manner.

yet succulent, and even the harder parts
of the stalks become soft by the heat
and juices of the other parts, and con
sequently all become palatable food. The
cows will clean up the last vestige of
every feed. The succulence of the feed
keeps the cows in good condition. The
palatability of it gives them good ap-
petite, and the richness Of it does away
with buying much concentrated feed
stuffs.

GO TO THE POLLS AND VOTE.

With this, our last issue before
the election, we want to urge every
Democrat in Bates county to 60 tr
the polls on next Tuesday and cast
his vote for the ticket straight.
Never in the history of the county
have the Democrats had better state,
district and county ticket for which
to vote and there has never been a
ticket nominated that we could sup
port any more conscientiously or with
any more enthusiasm. There is not
a nominee on the ticket from top to
bottom who needs apology or expla-
nation, and there can be no shadow
of an excuse for any Democrat to fail
to 90 to the polls or to scratch his
ticket.
We believe that the only danger
that threatens any candidate on the
ticket is over confidence, and a fail
ure of the voters to 60 to the polls,
and we hope that every Democrat
with the success of the principles Of
the party at heart willvote and castan
unscratched ballot.

the machinery arrives it will be rent
ed to property owners who desire a
good road in front Of their farms. The

Attest OFBULL MOOSE SINCERITY

The election next Tuesday will be
an acid test of the sincerity of the
Progressive party in Bates county and
it will be most interesting to note
the result.
The vote cast next Tuesday will in
dictate whether the Progressives are
the sincere, earnest followers OF a
principle or whether, as the Republi-
cans charge, they are simply disap-
pointed applicants of the pie counter,
and will vote to get the plums. =
Republican leaders boast that the
Progressives will come back into the
fold and again submit to the standpat
yoke, and they are making great ef-
forts to entice them back into the G.
O. P. this year.
OF course the standpatters do not
expect them to vote the straight Re-
publican ticket, but if they can get a
good Progressive vote on even part
of their ticket they will have broken
the Bull Moose organization and have
forced them to take the first step
back to G. %. P. domination.
This they hope to accomplish by
inducing Progressives to vote for Re-
-publieans where vacancies appear on
their own ticket, and they have oblig-
ingly left certain other places blank
whereby trades can be made, and
Bull Moosers induced to break their
organization.
While we do not believe in the
principles advocated by the Progress
sives, we have always had faith in
their sincerity and will watch the vote
with grest interest.
The Progressive vote CASTOR stand
pat candidates in. Bates county this
year will be an index to the life of the
party. -
