RA|NF ALL Of
MUCH BENEFIT
To FARMERS
FARMERS IN THIS VICINITY ARE
NOT COMPLAINING AND WORK
IN ALL DEPARTMENTS is WELL
ADVANCED.

With but a few days over three
months of the year gone, the rainfall
has equaled over one-half the normal
number of inches for this section. SO
far in April the rainfall has been
2.S5 inches. During the month Of
March 3.61 inches was recorded ut
the local observatory, There was no
rain during the month of February,
but 11.5O inches fell during the month
of January, which makes the total for
the three months 1896 inches. The
normal rainfall for this section IS 33
inches, and with nearly nine months
yet to go, it looks as if the normal
figures would be passed as they were
last year.
SO far, the rain has nOt interfered
seriously with farm work. 1t has ben
Gifted the wheat and oGt crop ma
terially and as there is good season
already in the ground the farmers
of this section have little fear CT a
protracted drought The wheat and
oat acreage in this section was de
creased to some extent over what it
was last year, but the indications are
that peanuts will be planted in their
stead. The demand for seed has
been exceptionally heavy for this sec
ton, and it is estimated that over
1000 acres will be in cultivation in
the immediate vicinity of Ardmore.

GOOD ROADS
MOVEMENT IN
NORTH TEXAS
REALIZE THAT GOOD
ROADS ARE AN ASSET AND
WILLINGLY VOTE BONDS FOR
CONSTRUCTION.

Colonel Sidney Suggs, who has been
in several north Texas counties for
the past two weeks assisting in float
ing good roads bonds, has returned to
his home and is very much pleased
with the spirit displayed in the good
roads movement throughout the sec
tion visited.
Colonel Suggs stated this morning
that the various counties which had
tried for permanent roads We're more
than satisfied with the investment,
and in these counties where a small
bond issue for this purpose was hard
ly possible few years ago, the
taxpayers are willing to vote bonds
in any amounts at present for good
roads purposes.
Hunt county, especially, is progress
ing in the good roads movement, and
is building miles and miles of the
very highest type Of concrete roads.
They claim that the cost Of mainten-
ance of this class of road is so much
, less than ordinary gravel or dirt
roads that it pays in the end to con-
s,ruct them. En- route home, Colonel
Suggs stopped at Gainesville and had
conference with B. F. Johnson, OF
the Commercial Club. ''Mr. Johnson
| is a live wire" said Colonel Suggs,
"and seems anxious TO do something
! for his town and surrounding coun-
trv. Gainesville is on the line of
the Interstate Postal Highway which
! traverses this state to Fort Worth
and the gulf, Mr. johnson and many
/ of the business MEN Of Gainesville are
deeply interested in this road. and
very anxious to see it constructed.
This Is the road formerly called the
| Meridian highway and runs from
Winnepeg to the gulf. The only rea-
son that this road was not mapped
more thoroughly was from the fact
: that there was no bridge crossing Red
river"
"The time has come, in my opin-
ion," remarked Colonel Suggs, when
we should take up this work and
push it to a successful elimination.
Gainesville is ready, Ardmore is ready
and | believe that Marietta will do
her share toward this great move
ment. While in Gainesville, | sug-
gested to several business men that
stock company be formed to build
a concrete toll bridge across the river
which met with considerable favor.
T find upon investigation that a con-
crete bridge can be constructed as
CHEAP if not cheaper than a first
class steel bridge, and would be by
far the best advertisement that this
road could possibly receive"
Col Suggs states that the people
all over Texas are alive to the ne
cessity of goods roads, and with ey-
cry mile constructed, property values
! along the routes increase"

CAPLAN To Be
TRIED IN MUIR
DER CHARGE
IN CONNECTION WITH DEATH
OF CHARLES HAGERTY, VICTIM
OF LOS ANGELES TIMES OYNA-
MITlNG CASE.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 3.-David
Caplan, to be placed on trial here
today was indicted jointly with
Mathew A. Schmidt on charge Of mur;
der, in connection with the death of
Charles Hagerty, one of twenty per
sons who lost their lives as result
of the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building, October !, 1910.
Schmidt was convicted December so,
1916. and was sentenced January j.,
1916. to imprisonment for life in
San Quentin penitentiary. His appeal
is pending in the state district court
of appeals.
Caplan obtained a severance when
the trial of Schmidt opened, He was
refused permission to be present at
, the trial.
The arrests came seemingly out OF
a clear sky. Schmidt was picked up
on Broadway, New York City, Febru-
airy IS, 1915, and five days later, Cap
Ian was arrested at Port Orchard,
Washington, on the other edge of the
continent. Donald Vose Meserve, who
lived at Home Colony, near Port Or
chard, supplied to a detective agency
the necessary information. Home
Colony is a settlement of persons of
radical views. Caplan was raising
poultry on a small ranch he owned at
Port Orchard. Before that he was
barber. For ten years he had lived
about on the Pacific coast.
A good deal of the states case
against Caplan necessarily was
I brought out at the trial Of Schmidt.
II was testified that the trial of the
men who dynamited the Times build
ing was picked up at the Ferry build
ing in San Francisco where suit
case containing telltale evidence was
found. Caplan, according to this tes-
timony, was supposed TO get this
suitcase from the Ferry building
check room, but somehow failed to
do so. The suitcase evidence led to
discovery of dynamite in vacant
house. that clue ran to powder
works and the assistant manager or
the powder company identified Caplan
and Schmidt as two of three men
who bought the explosive Caplan
also was identified as the man who
rented the house where it was found.
Two hundred witnesses were subpoe-
naed by the prosecution in the
Schmidt trial, including Ortie Z. Nc
Manigal the informer, who supplied
the state much Of its case against
John J. Mcnamara, secretary OF the
International Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, and
his brother James B. Mcnamara.
James pleaded guilty to murder in
connection with the Times dynamit-
ing. and is now serving a life sem
tence in San Quentin penitentiary
John pleaded guilty to dynamiting
the Ilewellyn Iron Works in Los An
gees, and is serving fourteen-year
sentence In general, the same wit
