TWO FEET
OF SHOWS
Have Already Fallen This
Winter---Zero Weather
Sunday.

Last weeks spell OF bad weather
eliminated in snowstorm Friday
night that continued with occasional
let-ups until stopped Saturday night
by cold wave that sent the mercury
down to 6 degrees below zero Sunday
morning. The snow was from 10 70
II inches deep on level, the heaviest
fall for several years. There was not
five hours of daylight Saturday when
snow was not falling and as a result
there was no general cleaning off of
the sidewalks. Some did it but 9TH
ers waited for it to quit showing. 1t
was bright enough Sunday, but the
snow ordinance came in conflict with
the Sunday laws and there was no
hired work done. Nevertheless many
people cleaned their own sidewalks,
while others waited until yesterday,
only to find that 2 inches more had
fallen Sunday night. The deep snow
and zero weather coming together
caused much suffering where people
were not prepared for the sudden
change. Coal wagons were running
all day Sunday and much work had
to be done by plumbers on account of
frozen pipes. The following is the
record Of SHOWS so far this winter:

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
PROMISED TOO MUCH.

In his speech to the Murray mob,
Gov. Stanley is reported to have
promised them, 81 will see that Mar
tin is brought back here and that he is
tried here by a Galloway county jury
This promise is one that we doubt
very much the wisdom Of the Gov
srnor in making it. 1t does not seem
possible under existing conditions for
Martin to get fair trial in Murray so
early as Feb. 5. Almost any jury Sc
lected would be influenced one way
or another by the mob sentiment, that
il took all Of the diplomacy Of Judge
Bush and all of the eloquence of Gov.
Stanley to control even temporarily,
with promises from both that the ne
gro would be returned. The Cover
nor stepped in and kept Judge Bush
from keeping his promise and saved
the State from the expense OF having
% protect the negro upon his return
by a posse Of nonresident citizens.
There has been more or less grand
stand playing at the expense of Judge
Bush, who's eclear. head and calm cour-
age saved the negro's life from mob
parading the streets, ropes in hand
and faces unmasked, thirsting for his
blood. In three weeks time Judge
Bush must return, handicapped by
promise of the Governor that ought
not to be kept. II is possible to try
the negro in Murray by summoning
4 jury from some other county and
letting the Governor send a military
force strong enough to protect judge
and jurors from threats and attempts
at intimidation. But if the law is to
De carried out and the negro-mur-
derer as he may be-given fair trial,
there ought to be change of venue
to some other county not subject to
periodical outbreaks of lawlessness
even worse than murder. The de-
struction of even the courts of law,
the assassination of officials and the
burning of property were mere incl
dents in the program of crimes laid
out by the leaders of the Galloway |
mob TO show their contempt for the |
law. The members of the mob are !
still there to be dealt with and il |
should be done in one of two ways. |
The court officers should be given an
armed force sufficient not only to pro-
tect the negro but to- make il possible
to prosecute the members of the mob |
themselves, who publicly attempted |
to create reign of terror. Or if this
is not to be done, then it is the duty of |
Judge Bush to handle the situation as
it should be handled, and take the
case elsewhere, regardless of the Gov !
ernors promises, and give the pris-
oner a change Of venue to some coun-
ty where tIial can be held Accord
ing to law. If there are no troops
available, the case might be tried in
EddyviIle, where there is at least an
body of prison guards cap
able Of rendering aid in emergencies.

SUFFICIENT REASON
FOR TESTING SEEDS
There Are Times When Farmer
Gets Seeds of Poor Germina-
ton Without Knowing It.
(By w. r. CELEBRITY

This is a subject which has received
a great deal Of attention from thought
full persons, but is still very little con-
sidered by the majority. It's impor-
lance cannot be Overestimated for the
quality of the seed has a great influ-
ence on the yield of the crop.
Everyone likes to get bargains; and
many think that bargains and low.
priced articles are one and the same
thing, while in the matter Of seed low
prices and bargains cannot go together.
Take for Instance turnips. When we
see one man charging twice the price
quoted by another of course the higher
priced is usually for new and improved
varieties, but we often find difference
Of price for one variety. One man may
charge for seed which terminates
only 80 per cent while another charges
half as much again for seed germinat-
ing 60 per cent, while another charges
half as much again for q seed germi-
mating 95 per cent.
From this calculation can easily be
II@due us 10 the amount OF See0 re-
quired, for II is the low termination
that makes thick sowing a necessity.
The high-priced seed is economical,
inasmuch as SO many more seed ger
inmate. When the farmer knows that
termination is poor, he tries to insure
a crop by thick sowing, but there are
times when he gets seeds of poor ger
mination without knowing it, probably
paying the full price for good seed.
This should be sufficient reason for
testing seed. Considering the number
of purchases of seeds each year, there
are ridiculously small number of
tests made. l know of one instance
where samples tested comprised all the
various crops grown on the farm. In
some crops the average of samples
was reasonably good, but there were
poor samples in practically
every crop.
This is matter we'll worth the at
tention Of the tillage farmer.

The study Of architectural history is
interesting especially In its application
to modern buildings. Aside from the
entertaining development of styles and
orders of architecture which are re-
counted and associated In the pages of
this history, 1t Of course has a prac-
teal value to the architect. The larg-
er buildings. especially memorial struc-
lures and public buildings, are nearly
always designed to follow some definite
type Of architecture which originated,
perhaps. great many years ago. Even
homes show the evidence of influence
OF the old masters In this art. Coun-
try estates are quite often arranged
according to the plan Of some of the
ancient estates referred to in the his
tories of the earlier days of civilian
ton.
The American house architecture is
probably Influenced by more different
architectural types than that of any
other structure. Not only do the old

ASPARAGUS IS EASY
VEGETABLE TO GROW
Necessary to Exercise Greatest
Care in Preparation of Seed
bed at Beginning.
(By L. M. BENNINGTON.)

(By L. NJ BENNINGTON.)
Asparagus is not hard to grow, and I
know of mo other vegetable that will
give more satisfactory results if well
cared for.
AS an asparagus bed has to be set
out only once, it is therefore very nee
essary to use the greatest care in Civ.
ing the plants start.
PlOw the ground deeplysas early as
possible in the spring and mix with it
an abundance Of well-rotted manure.
This should be done three or four
days before planting, and a strong fer
tilizer should never be put next the
plants because it often destroys them.
The rows should be about six feet
apart and elephants should be set ten
inches deep. Set out only strong, one
year-old rests.
Press. the soil about them and as the
plants begin to come up throw a little
dirt into the burrows to smother the
weeds and keep the son loose around
the plants. Gradually fll the rows
until the ground is level.
The weeds must be Kept from the
plants for two years; then not much
further care is necessary, but the bed
should be kept clear.

classic orders find partial expression,
but the American home is also influ-
enced by modern styles Of foreign
countries. Inside and out, modern
American homes show the marks of
many ages. This does not imply that
each home is loaded with mass of
decorative detail. The really beautiful
home is never overloaded with decora-
tive features of an elaborate nature.
1t Is In the simple features that the
good things In all architecture are COM
bined In the American homes.
The matter Of simplicity has a spe-
cial bearing upon the subject. AS the
strength Of Lincoln's wisdom was
founded in the force Of simple express
sion, so. with quite the same applica-
ton to human understanding, the
strength Of architecture type is quite
often based upon its simplicity. On
the other hand, the dancer who is
graceful In the simple, slow steps is,
indeed really accomplished artist. So
1t Is with the designer of hOmes-the
quality Of simple effec-
tiveness is hard to attain.
How is simplicity expressed i'm home

shape Of the house may be made irregu-

Cutting may begin the third year,
for perhaps thirty days, but not longer.
After the third year asparagus may be
cut up to the middle of June or per-
haps little later.
If your bed 'shOws large growth of
tops in the fall you may be sure of a
good crop the next spring.
When plants are old enough to cut
the tops should be cut off very early in
the spring almost down to the crowns
Of the roots and then as they start to
grow again the roots should he plOwed
under or ridged about eight or ten
inches above the level Of the ground.
The plants will push their way
through this ridge in a very few days
and will continue to grow vigorously.
A wet, heavy black soil Is not good
for asparagus as 1t does better on
sandy loan.
Asparagus requires a great deal Of
fertilizer, and this should be put on
very early In the spring or any time
during the season.
Asparagus will stand a great deal of
salt without injury, but it is mistaken
idea that salt is Of any particular bene-
fit to it.
