While the Farm Bureau is not in the
advertising business directly. we should
feel pleased at the notice this draws
to Jerome. Many inquiries for seed
were received and more will probably
come later. AS a climax the col
onization Dept of the Union Pacific
Railroad is taking the exhibit to Om-
aha. The potatoes win there be placed
in the colonization building so that
people from all parts of the United
States may see what Jerome can do.
The county agent was especially re-
quested to secure more exhibits of
a like character to add to the one al
ready sent. We take this opportunity
to ask you to send him anything that
may be used in this way.

There is difference between al

try viii be able to tell you that, but
their evidence has been backed up
by the opinion of Federal Judge
Woodrough in the case of Henry
Woody. charged with introducing liq-
uor into the eastern district OF the
Istaet Of Oklahoma.
On technicality this Woody was
released Had the charge said mere
ly liquor, it might have been differ.
ent but the indictment read for in
Producing into the eastern district
of the state of Oklahoma, formerly
the indian Territory certain spiritu-
GUS liquor, towit: Alcohol" There
and there only is where the prosecu-
tion stumbled and fell, And upon
that point Henry Woody was acquit-
ted Of the charge.
In the Introduction of the evidence
it was shown that indeed spirituous
liquors had been introduced into the
eastern district Of tie state Of Okla
homa, hut that instead Of being alco-
hol as declared in the indictment, the
spirituous liquor in question was
whiskey.
Much argument was entered into
by the attorneys on both sides, and
numerous cases were cited for the
establishment Of a precedent, but the
ruling of the Judge was to instruct
the jury to release the defendant.
Monte Woody son Of the defendant
in the above case, and who was also
charged with introducing liquor, was
relased when the evidence appeared
to be slightly shady IL was the opin.
ion that said evidence was hardly
strong enough to convince.
Tony Ogliese, charged with intro
ducing liquor entered plea Of gull
ty and was fined $25 and given 30
days in jail at Muskogee. w F.
Cowper on like charge also enter
ed plea of guilty and was given 80
days in Jail at McAlester and assess
ed fine Of $25.
The case that was considered in
the nature Of variation from the
monotony Of liquor cases, proved to
be Of no interest to the regulars"
around court It was the case of
James S. Rhodes, charged with the
embezzlement Of money order funds.
The defendant entered a plea Of gull
ty. Sentence was deferred until a
later meeting Of the court at Musko-
gee.
Today, the same class of actions
are being heard, the charge Of intro
ducing liquor predominating. There
we're few hold overs last night but
withal the court is keeping up with
its schedule fairly we'll.
