GIVE BOYS ENCOURAGEMENT
This Is Whae Washington County Agent Did to Build Up Run.
 Down Hopes.

The county agricultural agent of
 Washington county has arranged with
 Dean J. H. Miller of the Extension
 Division of the University of Arkan.
 sas to hold two days meeting of
 boys corn and pig club members of
 Washington county at Fayetteville,
 August 26 and P. The homes of
 all citizens of Fayetteville will
 be thrown open for the entertain. ment of the boys. As in many other sections of the state, Washington county boys corn club members have suffered serious setbacks from exces- sive rains, and according to MT. Dyer, the county agent, some of them are discouraged because their exhibit this year did not come up to the standard Of former years. To encourage the boys, MT. Dyer has written each personal letter, of which the following is an extract: Your corn may have failed or your pig may have 1ied and you feel discouraged, but We are still holding you as member of the club and want you to come to this meet ing. We are going to give you good time, Bring the best ear of corn you can find in your field. One of the .neeiings will be conducted personally by Dean Miller and his co-workevs." Where these youthful farmers have suffered from rain and bad weather, the older folks should cooperate in getting the boys to exhibit their proo. ucts, even though this is an off yeasI for them.

UNUSUAL PLAYS 0f THE DIAMOND
 TOLD BY STARS
(By Frank G. Menke.)

New York. August 2S.-Claude Der ", catcher for the Pittsburg Feds, tells this one:
 One day while l was catching for the Dallas (TeXas) team runner on first started to steal second. I begged toward the base but our pitcher-Walker-h moved out of the box after he delivered the ball. and walked right into the throw.
 'The ball hit Walker on top of the head, and as Walker dropped to the ground the ball bounded high in the air. The runner had reached second by that time, and not seeing the ball in play raced for third. But our shortstop saw the ball, caught it as it came down and whipped it to third in time to put out the runner.
 "The official scorer credited three inen with an assist He gave me an assist because had made the orir nal throw, he gave one to the pitcher because his head had deflected the ball to the shortstop. and, of course he gave one to the shortstop for mak- ing the throw to third.

teemed by all who knew him.

MAY NOT APPEAL THE CASE
Henry Hudson Given Two To Five
Years for Killing Y. w. Burton

As told in the last edition of the l..
j. Friday-copies of which did not
go out to all of its subscribers. how
ever-Henry Hudson was convicted
of manslaughter by the jury which
tried him in circuit court here last
week on a charge of numbering his
father-in-law, Y. w. Burton, at their
farm near Hustonville few months
ago. The jury did not return YER
dict into court until A AS o'clock de-
liberating to that hour from 2:4O
when the case was given to it by the
court, at the conclusion of the argu-
mentS.
The jury gave Hudson a sentence
of from two to five, years in the
state penitentiary. This sentence, un-
der the indeterminate sentence law
will make him eligible to parole and
release from prison after he has SER
we'd two years, if his conduct is good.
1t is reported that he will accept the
judgment of the jury and not appeal
the case, though this is only rumor.
1t is understood that on the first
ballot which was taken by the jury
upon the question of conviction or
acquittal of the accused, three men,
bers of the jury voted for acquittal.
The report is that these three were
A. C. Sine and Spears Fisher, of STAN
ford, and j. H. Wheeler, of Waynes-
burg. Some of the jury are said to
have stood out for while for 81
year sentence, the maximum under
the manslaughter law. The verdict ar
rived at, therefore, is regarded as a
compromise.
Immediately upon the rendering of
the verdict, Hudson was taken to Jail
where he is now incarcerated and will
remain until he is taken to Frankfort.
His wife, daughter of the dead man,
who stuck to him Loyalty throughout
all of the trouble, remained in town
and visited him in the jail Saturday.
