ALABAMA INDICTMENT IS
SHORTEST EVER SEEN HERE

For several days a negro was held
in the Audrain County Jail IS a MUIR
DIRE suspect wanted in Alabama. When
the indictment against the murderer
was received at Jefferson City, for use
in the extradition proceedings, it was
discovered to be the shortest Of its
kind ever seen In the capitol. The
negro scrt here to identify the sus-
pect said he was not the man wanted
and he was released.
The indictment was returned by the
grand jury of Lawrence county. Ala.
against a negro named Lafayette
Snider for murder. He escaped from
the state and was thought to be held
here. It was necessary in the extra
dition papers to set out the indictment.
1t contained but 38 words and is the
shortest ever seen in the secretary Of
states Office where the papers are
filed.
Here is the indictment which created
much comment about the capitol.
State of Alabama. Lawrence coun-
ty; the grand jury Of said county
charge that before finding Of this in
dictment Lafayette Snider, alias Lathe
Snider, unlawfully and with malice
aforethought, killed Lige Alexander
by shooting him with a gun"
That was all. There was nothing
to the effect that the gun was loaded
with 'leaden pellets" and that Alex
ander did anguish and languishing
did die" or anything of that sort.
Snider is simply charged with killing
Alexander with a gun which would
seem sufficient to advise him Of the
charge against him.
An attempt has been made to short
en- and simplify the form Of Missouri
indictments but without avail. To
charge a man with murder in Missouri
requires the skill Of a Philadelphia
lawyer, and the use Of more than 500
words.

this year, but I have ground on which
to have my opinions this year and not
simply giving anticipated results as a
good many fellows do about this sea-
son Of the year regardless Of how dis
c6naging conditions might be-" Mr..
regard to the welfare Of u section
johnson, is one of those men who
take pride in finishing his stock He
is-a lover Of good cattle and generally
always feeds those kind. He believes
in getting good breed Of stock to begin
with which he claims is the secret Of
making money in feeding, as his opin-
ion is that like any other animal class
win tell no matter where you place
them.
B. F. Blanton spent a few days with
DR.. Smither and family at Lathrop
last week and in a motor drive ever
the surrounding country he saw the
great barns used by the British gov
eminent in handling tens Of thous-
ands Of horses and mules gathered in
Missouri, Iowa and Kansas. At pres
ent there are only ten thousand hors-
es and mules on hand, which, we were
told, is the smallest number that has
been there for many months. The
British officials at Lathrop have moth
ing to do but pay the bills. The horses
are bought, fed and cared for by a
firm of stock dealers who own all the
barns and provide feed for thse large
droves of horses and mules, for which
they receive fifty cents per head per
day. The firm has made a vast for
tune since the European war began
fifteen months ago. For miles around
Lathrop farms have been rented on
which to turn the horses. AS high as
$4,000 has been paid for rental for
some farms, not very large ones, eth
er. Hundreds of horses have died and
a few die or get killed almost every
day. Wagons are on the move from
early dawn to dark hauling out fed,
and about rs men are employed in
taking care of the stock. There is q
very large barn near the depot at La
throp, in which 500 car loads Of baled
hay was stored at one time. At times
during the summer there has been as
high as $4,000 horses and mules on
hand. The horse headquarters has
made business pretty good in Lathrop
as most of the money paid the en-
ployes is spent right az home.
Lathrop is in Lincoln county, and
the county is very rich, land selling
at $3.50 to 5000 per acre, but farmers
do not appear to be mor prosperous
than are the farmers in Monroe county
or northeast Missouri. The land is
fertile, but it is fiat and this year
there is hardly a field of corn near La
throp that will yield ten bushels Of
corn per acre and much Of it viii make
much less. While on cur few days
outing we visited Moberly, Macon,
Lathrop, Laplata and Excelsior
Springs and made the discovery that
Ia very small crop Of wheat is being
sown anywhere, and there is very lit
tie corn along the railroad from Mon
roe City to Lathrop, a distance of
about 100 miles. Too much rain. =
Paris, mo- Appeal.
WHAT has become Of the movement
to establish regular stock sales days
in Mexico? We believe this matter
is worth taking care of.
WE are glad to know 4 movement
is being made in the direction Of or
ganizing the dairy interests Of Aud
rain County. The dairy interests and
the poultry interests should be more
carefully looked after. This is i'm
portant.

Between now and the next crop sea-
son many farmers will choose new
farms. Each step must be more are
fully taken than ever before on the
ladder whose rungs are the positions
of hired man, tenant, mortgage owner,
and improving owner. Without such
help as that Of a wealthy father, il is
no longer so easy to reach the top Of
this ladder without climbing the lower
rungs as it was when land Of virgin
fertility could be bought for as little
as SIPS an acre.
In fixing the cash values of land the
renter or purchaser should be careful
not to confuse economic with social or
aesthetic factors. Unusually desir-
able houses, barns and fences may add
to the cost Of land out Of proportion
to the addition to their earning power
and the buyer must consider whether
he can afford certain things which
bring pleasure and satisfaction but no
money return. Nearness to town and
market similarly raise the price,
partly for social reasons, partly be-
cause they make it possible to market
more cheaply and to market certain
products which could not be grown
proftably farther from town.
Fertile land is the great essential in
farming but a question often raised is
whether it is better to buy only the
best land or buy poorer land and build
it up by applying the discoveries of
the experiment stations and of the
most successful farmers.
The personal preference and ability
Of the buyer must be considered in de-
termining whether to buy a small
farm at a higher price per acre and
whether to buy only very fertile land
with a view to producing only crops or
to buying a mixed farm with some
rough, well-drained, portions for per-
manent pastures for live stock. Num-
erous factors must also be considered,
including the supply and price Of
labor, kind Of neighbors and nearness
to schools, grange and church.
