1t further shows that 2S2 farmers
raised $500 acres of alfalfa under
the direction of the county agents and
made an average yield of two and one
half tons per acre; that during the
fall of 1914, 533 additional farmers
planted 3,026 more acres; that the
highest yield of alfalfa reported was
1900 pounds made on one acre of
land from four cuttings; that several
farmers reported four to five tons to
the acre; that 12,4S0 acres of wheat
were grown under demonstration work
in 1914, with an average yield of 206

The report says:
Space will not permit us to give
detailed information regarding tobac-
co and other crops in Virginia. Re
garding live stock, it is sufficient TO
say that our climate is such as to per-
NIT us to uasture our cattle practical
ly without cost for nine months of
the year. Our climatefurther enables
us TO reduce the cost of labor because
outdoor work can be carried on to its
full extent for about nine months of
the year, and less time is spent in
feeding and looking after the stock
and providing fuel.

The Case Of Leo Frank

Il am not asking for mercy said
Leo NJ. Frank in his Atlanta prison
when informed that his attorneys
would ask the Prison Commission not
for pardon, but for a communication OF
the death sentence to Imprisonment
for life. 81 am innocent and have
been unjustly convicted. What
want is justice and vindication."
Frank is the victim of monstrous
injustice. The case calls for a rem
edy, Communication would be but a pal
lative. Hardly that, for in the judg-
ment of most men life Imprisonment
is scarcely less terrible than death
upon the scaffold. To be shut up in
prison for life is punishment, pun
ishment implies guilt, and this man S
guilt has not been proved, A full
pardon is the only way when the law
is impotent to right the wrong it has
done.
The prevailing public belief outside
the state of Georgia is that Frank
has not had fair trial. that his
guilt has not yet been proved. The
public cannot know that he is inno-
cent, it does not know that there is
an immense preponderance of proba-
ability in favor of innocence, it does
know that the conditions under
which he was ,ried and found guilty
were such tina; an absolutely inno-
cent man would shrink frciG item
with horror r'Ae most innocent man
on earth would turn pale with fear
had he to make his defense before
jury standing - sucn terror OF mon
violence that It dared not return
verdict of acquittal. The highest
court has said that Frank has enjoy
ed his constitutional right to due
process of. law. the procedure was
in proper form. lue respect was paid
10 the sacred technicalities. But the
eternal truth is that the trial was not
a fair one that justice was, not done.
The trial Judgs himself was not con
WINGED of the prisoners guilt And

Holmes statement OF undisputed and
fact leave in the public
mind the positive conviction that JUS
tice has not been done to Frank.
The case is RENTED to the state |
of Georgia, not to its courts, but to
it's Governor, it's people. There are |
today countless men in Georgia who !
believe Frank innocent. Or at least |
that his guilt has not been proved, |
yet they dare not say so, so powerful
even yet is the mindless mob pas

sion that RACES for the death of this
victim. Yet we find it impossible to
believe that the State of Georgia
would send Frank to the scaffold
1t would not have the reckless hardi-
hood to defy the overwhelming pub
lie opinion OF the country, the Com
monwealth would never consent to
blacken its own reputation by such
crime against justice. The remedy
which the courts, enslaved to their
own forms of procedure, have denied,
the State for its own sake would be
compelled to grant.
We cannot but feel that it was a
mistake for Franks counsel to file
their petition for a communication OF
the sentence to life imprisonment.
The course they have taken is illogi-
cal and inconsistent with their belief
in his innocence II carried with 1t
the suggestion that they doubt his in
nocence, which is not true. They
have been misled, evidently, by the
compromising spirit-thy ask for
Communication which they will I'M
doubtedly get, in the hope that,
Franks life being spared, the time
will come when justice and vindica-
ton will come Demanding pardon.
they would have shown firm and
consistent adherence to their belief
that he is not guilty and then, had
the Prison Commission modified the
sentence to life Imprisonment, they
would have had the same opportunity
they now enjoy for continuing their
efforts in his behalf and their posi-
ton would have been stronger and
better. 1t was mistake to ask the
State for mercy, for mercy is not
justice, and justice is the only rem

AnviIs Date Back of History.

The anvil was known In the earliest
times, being spoken of in the Bible, tho
prophet Isaiah saying Chapter Al,
verse y, $50 the carpenter encouraged
the goldsmith, and he that smootheth
with the hammer, him that smiteth
the anvil" 1t is not known who first
used it, but of course the anvil Of an.
tiquity was unlike that of today as
perfected by modern workmanship
The anvil still used in the orient, how.
ever, is a boot shaped piece of metal
inserted in section of oak or walnut
log. Larger or smaller it is used by
tinsmiths, shoemakers, silversmiths
and blacksmiths The anvils used in
this country are commonly made OF
cast iron faced with steel and are of
parallelopiped form, with steel cone
or beak at one end and "handy hole"
for inserting chisel or other tools at
the other erd.-Boston Globe

Keep the Children
Bright and Happy

Happy youngsters must be healthy.
The digestive organs of children get
| out of order as readily as do those of
their elders, and the result is equally
distressing. When the bowels are
clogged with an accumulation of
refuse from the stomach the child ma
turally becomes cross and fretful
from the discomfort, and is often pun
ished for temper when medical atten-
ton is really what is needed.
The next time your child is cross
and unhappy. without apparent rea.
son, try giving it mild laxative. DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a mild,
pleasant tasting combination of
simple laxative herbs with pepsin,
and is especially recommended for
children because of its freedom from
all opiate or narcotic drugs and its
gentle action. 1t is sold in drug
stores everywhere. A free trial bot
