WHAT WEATHER

How Farmer Could Profit by Watching Predictions
 By the Government.

Washington, Nov. 2S.---Few city people reading the weather fore casts in their morning papers real ize the importance warning of rain, snow, frost, or high winds may have for the farmer, fruit grower, or stock raiser in the country. The message which causes the city man merely to debate whether he shall carry an umbrella or take his over coat, when telegraphed to country points may be telephoned instant ly from farmer to farmer as news of the greatest agricultural impor- tance. Such message over the phone may cause the entire coun- tryside to become a scene of inten-

WATSON HIS OWN
 LAWYER AT TRIAL
Georgia Editor Is Charged With Violating Postal
 Regulations.

Augusta, Ga, Nov. S.---Thomas E. Watson, the Georgia editor, who twice was populist nominee for president, was placed on trial for q third time in federal court here yes terday, charged with sending ob- scene matter through the mail in articles attacking the Roman Cath ollie church and appearing several years ago in one of his periodicals. At his first trial the indictment was dismissed on technicality, and at the second the jury disagreed,
 Acting as his own attorney. Wat son yesterday indicated that he would place upon the government the burden of proof that he was re- sponsible for mailing the alleged ob- jectionable matter. He stated that he was merely president of the corporation which published the magazines.
 During the second trial he had admitted connection with the mail ing, but when District Attorney Donaldson asked him yesterday il he cared to make the same admis- sion he replied: Make out your case, MT. District Attorney"
 After jury had been obtained the government put on the stand J. Q. West. postmaster, at Thomson, Ga, home of the defendant, and A. IJ Knight, a post office inspector, who testified that the issues of the magazines in question went through the mails.
 Watson sought to have Knight identify several publications which the government claimed had been circulated through the mails, and thus "had set an example for citi- zens." Watson claimed they con tained words similar to those in the articles on which he was indicted All were ruled out, however, on ob- jection of the prosecution that they were privileged matter"
 Watson was also overruled in at tempts to show the motive which in spired the articles and that "an outsider was behind the prosecu- tion."

MRS. O'CONNER
 GAINS 8 POUNDS
Suffered From Stomach Trouble and Catarrh for
 Five or Six Years.

Mrs. Jno. O'Conner. who lives, at 339 East Oldham street, Knoxville, Tenn, called up the Kuhlman- Chambliss Drug Co. recently and said she wanted to speak to the "Tanlac' man. When Mr. Willis answered the telephone, Mrs. O'Con- ner made the following remarkable statement:
 q just wanted you to know, and everybody else to know, what that Tanlac medicine has done for me. | Why, l have gained eight pounds already, and have only been taking | it for ten days. l have just finished taking the first bottle and have sent MT. O'Conner back to the store this morning for another bottle. This Tanlac certainly does just what you say it will do. l began to eat better, sleep better and feel better from the very first dose, and 1 the change in my condition has just been wonderful. I had a good doc tor before I began using Tanlac, but he didn't seem to understand my case, and his medicine did not seem to do me any good, so l just set it aside and quit using it.
 "For the past five or six years have been in a rundown condition nervous, weak and at times very dizzy. 1 had nervous headache and indigestion perfectly awful. My stomach was so weak I couldn't di- gest the lightest kind of food. was nervous and depressed and slept very little. l had become sc Respondent over my condition thought nothing could help me. Il certainly was lucky for me when heard of Tanlac It is not like any other medicine 1 have triedt- it seems to soOthe my stomach, and is a fine tonic, too, because my appetite is good now, and I digest what I eat. If any one had told me there was a medicine on earth that would make me gain eight pounds in ten days, I would have thought them crazy.
 q don't believe there Is another medicine on earth like Tanlac. My catarrh is also a great deal better in fact, I hardly notice it any more"
 Tanlac, the wonderful medicine that accomplished such remarkable results in Mrs. O'Conner's case, is sold by Hardesty x Lackey in Para gould, and Marmaduke Pharmacy Marmaduke, Ark. (advt.)

When the candidates for railroad commissioner observed that their vote ran 10000 behind the rest of the democratic ticket, on the publi- cation of the complete returns, they began an investigation to see why. It was discovered that the blank spaces for railroad commissioners had in some manner been omitted from the blank form upon which the returns are certified to the sec retary of state. Most of the coun- lty commissioners, however, wrote in the names and certified them but there were nineteen counties that failed to make any return up on this office at all.
 The counties that did not report the vote on railroad commissioner are Boone, Carroll, Chicot, Gle burne, Dallas, Desha, Franklin, Gar land, Hot Spring, Jackson, Little River, Madison, Miller, Montgom- cry, Saline, St. Francis, Van Buren Woodruff and Yell. When the at tention of Secretary Hodges was called to the oversight, he at once took up the matter with the com missioners to, secure their certified returns.

STOCK PROTECTING SERVICE. Special rain and temperaure fore casts for the sheepmen in Oregon
 Washington, and Idaho were made by the district forecaster at Port; land, Ore, during the shearing and lambing season of 1916. It is esti mated that there are more than G. 100000 sheep in these states. Al
 winter feeding is expensive, sheeI are usually shorn and put on the ranges as early as possible. Early lambing is encouraged also. Be
 fore being shorn, if stormy and colo
 weather prevails, the sheep may succumb to fatigue and starvation and after they are shorn it is nee

EASY TO HAVE YOUR OWN ICE
An Available Water Supply and q
Little Ingenuity All the Require
ments Necessary.

Put up your own ice. An easily
available water supply and little in
genulty are the requirements for pro-
ducing ice on Kansas farms at small
COST according to DIR. ]. d. Walters,
professor Of architecture in the agri-
cultural college.
The ice making apparatus is simple
and may be procured for small
sum, said Doctor Walters. Tanks
Tor freezing ice are usually made Of
galvanized iron, and should be large
enough to hold at least 121a cubic feet
of water.
An ice cake weighing about 100
pounds measures approximately 10
by IL by 20 inches. This is a we'll
proportioned cake, and one that is cas-
lily handled and packed.
Two tanks are arranged, one in
side the other, in such manner as
TO leave a free space of about one
half inch between the two. Both
tanks should be slightly larger at the
TOP than at the bottom, so that in the
freezing of the water there will be
no danger of their bursting. In order
10 make a division in the cakes, the
inner tank is divided into six com.
partments by galvanized iron strips.
This double tank is placed near
the well or spring, where the COM
partments can be easily filled with
water. In cold weather the water
VIII freeze in few hours, since the
tanks are exposed on all sides. The
ice should be dumped Immediately af-
ter it is frozen solid, to remove the
ice cakes, scalding water is poured
into the narrow space between the
two tanks. Within minute the sides
will be sufficiently loosened so that
upon the upsetting of the receptacle,
the cakes will slide out"
