AN HOUR FOR LOYALTY.

This is not a time for criticism OF

A TRIBUTE" TO MUD.


Mud is earth which has been put
in soak by nature.
Mud is the most valuable thing IN
the world. After earth has been mud
for awhile It produces crops, without
which mankind would curl up and die
like a baby sparrow on a hot door.
step.
However, since man does not raise
crops on the country roads. he has
no particular use for mud in that par.
ticular spot Mn.
All over the central part of this
Nation the country roads are paved
with mud. Mud makes the worst
pavement In the world. A hve.mile
mud pavement in March is as effect.
i've as a two-inch oak Jail door for
keeping a farmer at home. There are
hundreds Of millions of bushels Of
grain on the farms Of America in the
early spring, but they do not have
much effect upon the cost of living,
because they are separated from the
market by several miles OF roads
which clasps the farm wagons to their
bosoms with glad gurgle and refuse
to release them until three teams are
hitched on.
Wherever mud is used for making
roads the farmer sells his grain when
the roads are flrmest instead of when
the market is Exchange.

FRANK CASE CONCLUDED.
Arguments Before Supreme Court

Washington. Feb %. - Arguments
on the Georgia Federal Courts de.
cision refusing a writ of habeas cor

sentence for the murder of Mary Pha-

concluded Friday before the United
States Supreme Court A decision
probably will not be given for several

Should the Supreme Court affirm
the decision of the Georgia Federal
court nothing would stand in the way
Of the State carrying out the death

according to counsel for both sides,
the case must go back to the district

which the allegations in the petition
for the writ were based.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Last bulletin

First part Of these will bring high
temperatures, tending downward UNI

date cold wave moving eastward
will reach meridian 80. Storms of the
ten days will be more severe than
usual and may be classed with the
worst of the winter. More than usual
precipitation Is expected within the
ten days. particularly in Southern and
Eastern sections. Much cold weather
will prevail following this warm wave,
till about March %, following which
the conditions call for another great
warm wave to cross the continent.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific

This period will average colder

heaviest in Northeastern sections.
and increasing rains in Southern sec
tions. Storms will be more severe
than usual. These early March storms
are expected to remind the reader
that excessive rains were predicted
for the Southern States for March,
and if the forecast proves good for
March It will tend to impress the
probability that the Southern States
are in for excessive rains till about
August 90.

shares have heretofore run and the
only way to get 1t into growing crops
is to get a better breaking pillow and
dig deeper than heretofore. Those
who persist in planting cotton this
year will need to resort to the old
fashioned hoe Of slavery times, as
grass will grow better than cotton
this year.
Those sections Of the middle North
west, particularly northern parts of
division No. on Fosters weather
map, that were well wet before the
freeze last fall, will be fortunate. We
are expecting a moderate drouth up

ground is frozen six feet deep in many
places and will not completely thaw
out before July. Where we'll wet be-
fore the winter freezing came on, suf-
