Library Notes.

Once more we are asked to 60
through our book shelves and select for
the soldiers who are still overseas
those books which we have read and
know to be entertaining and clean.
Books of fiction are the chief want at
present, although there are other read
able books that will be welcomed. Old
magazines are not wanted, but you are
asked to continue putting a one-cent
stamp on the Burleson notice on your
magazines before they are old. ~.
This call for books is urgent Take
them to the public library before May
1st and they will be at once forwarded
to the Iowa library commission at Des-
Moines for final disposition.
The Public Library has a good Sc
lection Of books on vegetable garden
ing and they should prove helpful to
many at this season. Also books on
poultry raising, bee keeping. and many.
other practical subjects. One of them,
called 1.-The little pruning book" shows
how to trim trees, as we'll as how to.
prune for better results with small
fruit and flowers.

stop and think of Sergeant Ritcher;
It's the men Ike him who are paying.
He lost an arm; did you ever stop to

the Victory loan?
Sergeant Ritcher will pay as long

MURDERER OF LON HALTER Is
GRANTED APPEAL AND RE-
LEASED ON BOND

Oliver Kinder, charged with murder
in the first degree for the killing of
Lon Halter, near Cord, on the 3rd OF
March, was found guilty of murder
in the second degree by jury in the
circuit court at Batesville, last Satur-
day, and was given q years in
the penitentiary.
The murder, which was one the most
brutal in the history of Independent
ce county, took place near Cord when
Halter went to Riders field for the
purpose of settling trivial dispute
over a meadow.
After passing few words, Rider
drew a gun and shot Halter four
times, the last shot being deliberately
fired into Hatler's forehead after he
had fallen. The body was later
weighted down with heavy wheel
from an old moving machine and
thrown into Black River.
The case attracted considerable at
tention and feeling against Rider ran
high in the community.
T. ]. Carter, attorney for Rider,
with Claude Perkins and F. T. Will
liams, were arrested on March 29,
charged with attempting bribery by
endeavoring to persuade Farr, the
eyewitness to disappear. Their eases
have not been heard.
Rider took an appeal to the Su-
preme court and was released on
bond, his bond being fixed at $500
He was released and returned to the
home of his father, near Strawberry.

had seen actual service overseas was
an attraction that brought many peo-
pie to Newark last Friday.
The train is one of many that are
