1Ir. L. r. Highfr, of the Extension
Division OF the College of Agriculture.
CO operating with the Bureau OF AS
NAL Industry. recently compiled some
reports which show Just how much
progress has been made alons this
line during the past year. The =
hog growing counties reporting show
ed an sc increase OF 5s454 per
cent in pure bred swine during the
year 1918. Holmes. Breyard. Taylor
and Madison led in this increase.
These records further show the very
great difference between the increase
of pure bred and the increase Of
scrub hogs. Twenty three OF the above
counties reported an increase of grade
and scrub hogs averaging only l6 per
cent for the same period. The coun-
ties did not report while fernando
county reported 4 80 per cent decrease
of scrub and grade hos Mr. High

LOCAL JUDGE

TEXAS HOMICIDE CASE APP
PROVED BY u. S. COURT OF APP
PEALS.

Local attorneys view with much In
terest the findings of the u. s circuit
court of appeals, New Orleans, up
holding the verdict against Robert P
Brown of Is years imprisonment for
homicide. passed upon the defendant
by Judge w. B. Sheppard, sitting in
the L. S. district court at Corpus
Christi, Texas. last January. Browns
wife was a Milton woman.
James P. Hermis, of Beeville, Tex
was shot and killed by Brown, on
postoffice site in Bee county. Texas
Judge Sheppard was called upon 70
the most sensational legal battles in
the history of Southwest Texas. a
jury found Brown guilty. after a two
weeks battle for his life.
Attorneys for the defendant sought
a reversal OF the decision from the l.
S. circuit court OF appeals, on several
gounds, features of which were: !.
That the government had no jurisdic-
ton in the status quo; 2. That the
title to the postoffice site had never
been conveyed 10 the federal govern
nent by the state of Texas: >. That
Judge Sheppard charged the ury con-
corning justiflable homicide. as II is
described in English common law.
which the defendants attorneys
sought to have declared incompatible"
since the state OF Texas had not en-
bodied English common law in her
legal constitution.
The evidence showed that Hermis
whose safety had been openly threat
ened by Brown, was armed with two
pocket knives. which he drew upon
Browns approach. The latter shot
him three times. il was testified, and
another shot. gwen as Brown stood
over Hermis, severed the latter ;
aorta, causing immediate death.

"The recent war In Europe was un-

ing and capitalist classes of Germany
were certainly at one with their mill

tion to dominate the world, and 1t Is
conceivable that the whole German peo-
pie had become imbued with imperial
istic doctrines. But what did the feel

military autocracy? They may have
wished war, they may have wished
peace; but in either case it was not
for them to decide. Economic press
ure may or may not have brought the
people to the point Of seeking new
fields Of operation; the masses may
or may not have wanted German con-
troll to reach from Bremen to Bag

the matter. The decision lay with an
irresponsible autocracy which may or

peoples needs or wishes. The people
