WIFE CHARGES HER
 HUSBAND SLACAER

Asking his wife, whom he failed to provide with the common necessaries of life for three years 70 swear to an affidavit that he was the sole support of herself and their child in order that he might escape the draft, was the statement made relative of her bus band, Fred Bray, by Mrs. Laura E. Bray in the divorce court Thursday
 Mrs. Bray told Judge Stanford that for years she was compelled to support herself and that she worked while they were still living together. After he went to New Mexico he wrote her under an assumed name.
 Mrs. Bray said her husband was 26 and she did not know whether or not he had been called into service. She believed that he was somewhere in New Mexico. Judge Stanford granted the divorce.

Delahunty told District Attorney Swann today after pleading not guilty to an indictment charging him with forgery and grand larceny in connec- tion with the raising of funds to aid soldiers dependents. The defendant announced he would help in the war charities inquiry here and went before he grand jury.
 Tt was the easiest graft ever en- gagged in.' Delehunty said to the prose- cutor Every person you met fell and fell hard. It was easier than picking up rocks along the Palisades. l was not the only one doing it. Dead sure men came from all over the country to New York, where, it had gone forth, the graft was easy, and the town was soon filled with con men.

ent states. The great agricultu-
raj state of Iowa stands first, with
a car for every II persons, and
then follow California with IL
persons to every car, Nebraska
and South Dakota with 10, Kan,
sas with 16, Montana and No tn
Dakota with IS, Michigan with
10 and Indiana and Ohio with 20.
These are all agricultural states,
and it is certain, not only from
these statistics but so from COM
mon knowledge, that the auto
mobile has become a, valuable
part of the farmers equipment.
1t is not the great manufacture
ing states, like New York, with
a car to every 80 inhabitants, or
Pennsylvania with a car to every
81, that show the highest popu-
lar use of the motor vehicle.
The fact is, the farmer. like the
rancher in Arizona, where there
is a car for every 81 persons,
finds the automobile invaluable
in removing the isolation of
country life, and he is now will
ing to concede that good roads,
, which will enable him to use his
car at any time in the year are
a necessity. Instead of COM
planning that good roads are only
desired by the automobilist he
wishes them built so that he can
get the most benefit from his
ownership of an automobile.

Farm Manure Americas Most
Valuable Crop.

Farm manure is the most valu-
able crop produced on the farms
of America. 1t is reliably esti-
mated that the manure produced
each year by farm live stock in
the U. S. has a fertilizing value
of nenrly 21s billions of dollars,
an almost incredible sum and
equal to the value of the entire
corn crop of the U. S, figured at
the high price of $1.05 per bush
lei.
A dairy cow on full feed pro-
duces 6S lbs of manure per day,
worth at the present market
value of plant food in commercial
fertilizers $2.43 per ton, or a
value of $32. 25 per year for each
cow.
The fact is evident that if the
fertility of our farms is to be
maintained, Kentucky farmers
must return to grass and stock
farming. If wisely used our hill
sides and gentle slopes will fur
nish food for our posterity fol-
thousands of years to come; bu
if plowed too often, and exposed
to the destructive action of tor
) rental rains, they will become
as desolate as the desert hills o.

The Easy Way.

Judas Iscariot didn't intend
To sell out his friend;
Twas an easier role to betray
Than defend.
When the scoffers were soothing
he hadn't the pluck
To stand by his Master or ne
would have stuck.
He sneered when the scornful de-
risively sneered,
And jeered when with them that
unitedly jeered.
He was flabby at heart and afraid
to deny,
When he stood alone what ne
knew was a lie.
He tried to be all things to all
men and failed,
And so on the cross was man.
kinds Savior nailed.
Judas Iscariot didn't intend
To sell out his friend;
Twas an easier role to betray
Than defend
1t wasn't the silver that led him
astray
So much as the fear of wha:
many would say.
He coveted praise and he trem'
bled at sneers
And he sold out his friend fol-
the multitude's cheers,
And no doubt he feared that he,
too, might be hurt,
So safety and ease tempted hin
to desert.
The cause seemed a losing ont
back in his day, -.
And Judas selected the easies
way.
Judas Iscariot didn't intend
To sell out his friend;
Twas an easier role to betray
Than defend.
And down through the ages tn
custom has grown,
And some men build never
thought of their own.
They've swayed by the many
they tremble at jeers,
And sell out the truth for fey
paltry cheers.
They haven't the courage t
stand up and fight,
They'd rather be praised by tn
mob than be right.
Themselves and their friends an
their cause they betray
Because at the time it's ii
easiest way. - Edgar 1
