FATHER wRoNGFULLY ACCUSED
Daughter Who Made Loathsome
Charge Admits She Lied.

Mason City, Sept. 25.-Because
she was mad at her father because
he would not let her go out at
night" Miss Leah Perrin is alleged
to have concocted the story told to
County Attorney Hill charging her
father, George Perrin, with one OF
the most loathsome crimes in the
penal code. Sheriff Marsh says the
girl has admitted to him that this
was the reason for making the COM
plant.
Her accusations totally failed of
substantiation before the grand jury
and County Attorney l.. A. Hill, al
ter her alleged admission the charge
was false, directed the release of
Perrin from Jail.
Another man, it is said, has adj
mitted that he is responsible for the
girls present condition. and it was
said at the sheriff's office that they
are to be married.

CANS FRUIT IN HONEY.
BroWnville Man Has Latest Stunt to
Beat Sugar Trust When 1t
Comes TO Canning.

Mr.. and Mrs George Nelson have
solved the low cost of canning"
and have beat the sugar trust to it.
No chance for the trust to get in on
this scheme at all-they can't get
a monopoly on it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson are the peo-
pie who are in honey business over
at Brownville. They do not can
their fruits in sugar-they use hon
ey for that purpose. Mr.. Nelson says
they take their low grade of honey,
for which they would get about
eight cents a pound on the market,
and that one pound of honey is equal
to two pounds of sugar. This makes
their cost for sweetness" only four
cents a pound. Cheap, isn't it? And
they say the flavor has that of SUI
gar beaten so badly that there is no
room for comparison at all. This is

NOSE MILLER KILLED;
 PARDON IN POCKET
One of Few Surviving Outlaws of Indian Territory Days Peace Officer Attempted to Arrest Bad Man.

Vian, Okla, Oct. 1.-Mose Miller. one of the few surviving outlaws of the Indian Territory days, was shot to death by Till Conley, deputy sheriff of this city, in a pistol duel on the western outskirts of Vian about 2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon Conley escaped injury. He was later acquitted by coroner's jury, that Hound he acted in self-defense. Miller, it was charged, in riding out of town drew his pistol on some men whom he met in the road. They com plained to Conley, one of the best known peace officers in Eastern Okla homa. He started in pursuit of Mil Ter. Upon nearing him he command ed Miller to halt. Miller turned around and started firing on the deputy.
 Conley's first shot brought down Milldr's horse. The second shot struck Miller in the breast, causing instant death. All of Miller's shots went wild, but several came mighty near getting their mark.
 At the time Miller was killed he was carrying a pardon showing he was recently released from the Okla homa State Penitentiary, where he served time for horse stealing. Twelve years ago he killed Chas. Madison at Braggs and was convicted and sen- fenced in the United States District Court at Fort Smith, Ark, which trib- unal had jurisdiction those days over the Indian country, to life behind the bars. He served 10 years and was pardoned.

ARGUMENTS FOR PLANTING
 WHEAT IN PART OF SOUTH
To The Commercial Appeal {:

To The Commercial Appeal:
 We have just read with great in tereSt article headed Merchants and Bankers Fighting the Boil Weevil," in your Sept 13 edition. We believe in the movement.
 When the war was declared some thing over two years ago We spent several thousand dollars advertising and advising Arkansas farmers to raise their meat and bread at home.
 Ne offered seed wheat at cost, and sold something like 30,000 bushels, and as a result of our efforts the wheat growing in Arkansas was in- creased almost loo per cent.
 We believe that cotton will always De the greatest money crop of the south' but there should be same amount of cotton grown, but we be- HeVe It can be produced on much less acreage and the surplus acreage so saved could be used for producing

VICTIM OF KNOCKOUT DROPS.

Fort Smith, Ark, Oct. IA victim of knockout drops or a victim of se- were illness, J. L. Ledgerwood of Shreveport, La, is in Sparks Memor- ial Hospital in an unconscious condi- ton. He has been in a state of coma since Friday afternoon when he was discovered in a precarious condition in a rooming house at II North Sec ond street by the proprietor of the place. Police sent Ledgerwood to the hospital. His identity was partly solved by his name appearing on the handle of his pocket knife. By means of a baggage check in his possession, Ledgerwood's trunk was located yes terday at the Kansas City Southern Station, where it arrived last Thurs day. Letters in the trunk completed the identification of the victim.
 Ledgerwood came to the rooming house early Friday. He told the pro- prietor to wake him at 3 o'clock that afternoon. When he failed to respond to raps on his door the room was en- tered. Ledgerwood was found lying on the floor. Dr. Hal Neal, county physician, says he gives symptoms of having been drugged. He also has symptoms of malaria and kidney dis ease.
The Prescott daily news., 1916-10-02

surplus amount of oats there is not a ready market for the surplus. There is always market for the wheat, either in Arkansas, St Louis, Mem phis or Kansas City.
 Wheat makes a better winter pas ture than oats, better than barley, and just as good as winter rye. The win ter pasture the first winter and the straw the second winter and the pro- tection accorded the land against washing during winter months will justify any farmer raising wheat, even if he did not market the wheat Good land this year produced from l5 to 25 and in some cases 30 bushels to the acre, and the average yield in Arkansas, including all wheat har- vested and wheat that was really not sown to be harvested, but simply for pasture, was around 12 bushels to the acre, or better than the average for
 
 duced more wheat to the acre this year, which was one of the worst years We have ever known, than Ten nessee, Missouri or Illinois, and Mis- souri and Illinois are considered the best soft wheat states in the Union. When you consider that the aver age price of wheat land in Arkansas is $25 or less, while the average price of wheat land in Missouri and Illinois is $125 or more, that the Arkansas land was only one-fifth as valuable as the land in Illinois or Missouri, you can appreciate the fact that when Ar kansas raises as much wheat per acre as those two states that the yield for money invested is five times as great as in the two states mentioned. It Is true that Missouri and Illinois did not raise anything like an average crop this year because of winter killing and Hessan fly. But the same Is true of Arkansas wheat. And it is just as reasonable to suppose that had Mis- souri and Illinois made five bushels per acre more that Arkansas would have raised considerable more.
 Oats have never been a money crop in Arkansas, and as for recommend ing winter rye and barley, we cant understand why experts can do this. There is absolutely no market in the south for winter rye or barley, and as rule the farmer never thinks of harvesting these crops, so all the bene- fit he receives is his pasture and the protection to his land. And any farm CT can get the same protection for his land and the pasture would be much better by sowing just that much win ter wheat instead of rye or barley. The automobile industry has hurt ant will continue to hurt the demand fo" oats. Oats are selling today at less than 90 cents.
 The world war means tremendous demand for American wheat. Wheat can be produced in Arkansas for from 75 to s5 cents per bushel. And we have purchased this year something over 250 cars of Arkansas wheat and paid an average to the farmer of bet ter than S120 per bushel, and the prospects for very much higher prices are in sight for this year and next. Wheat sown in Arkansas this year can be harvested and marketed next year before new wheat is on the mar ket in the other states. And if the war does not end we would not be sur
