HAD GOOD POINTS
Hot Tempered Woman Evidently
Not Altogether Bad.
Surely No Hlgh.Prlced Lawyer Could
Have Surpassed Pathetic Plea
OF Husband Which Won
Her Her Liberty.

There was negro family living in
Bowling Green, KY. The wife had
notoriously ungovernable temper,
usually taking it out on her husband,
who was meek and lowly. On this oc-
casion she struck him with a skillet,
tnfllcting wound so painful and dan.
gerous as to hecessitate his having to
be taken to the hospital for treat
ment. The neighbors, knowing the
violent temper Of the wife. and the
cruel treatment she had inflicted upon
her husband for such long time,
were SO outraged they could endure It
no longer, and procured warrant for
her arrest on the charge of assault
with a deadly weapon.
The husband sat through the trial,
giving rapt attention to Its every de-
tail. The case was handed over to
the jury and after very brief delibera-
tion 1t brought in verdict Of guilty.
The old darkey husband rose and
said:
"Marse Jedge, I don't reckon moth.
Ing ole niger could say would make
much diffunce, but would lax to say
word before you send the old oman
to the penltenshy. She's always been
good mother to the chillun, all the

Jedge, jest want to ak you II you
won't let her go by the house and see

right now, cryin' they po little hearts
out and 1t would do 'em good, and the
ole oman, too, If she could just 60
and kiss 'em good-by befo' she was
put in the penitenshy"
BY this time the Judge and the spec
tators were in tears and the Judge
said: Gentlemen of the jury.

benefits of the usual period of neavy

be pIowed and narrowed to a smooth

situation before us, the railroads
should be increasing their facilities to
handle the extra volume of freight,
but just the opposite is the case. Be-
cause the railroads are obliged to re-
duce their big deficits, they are lay

means lowered efficiency instead of in

to cope with the situation. One of the

which will be even worse so far as
volume of traffic is concerned, motor
transportation is the only relief to
which the country can look.
business men who want to be sure
that their freight will be handled must
equip now with sufficient motor trans

business men will have to place their
orders promptly if they want to be

DALLIS GRASS

There is a need In Florida for a good
perennial pasture grass that viii grow

want for a grass that will supply a con-
siderable quantity OF green feed during
the winter period when the need for
pasturage is most pressing. Dallas grass
combines these two desirable qualities
better than any other perennial grass
that is known to thrive under Florida
conditions. This grass is often called by
it's botanical name, Paspafum dilatatum,
and is also known as Large Water grass.
While Il viii make satisfactorily growth

in this state, it is most valuable for
