BUILDING SlL0S
Are Marion Farmers So AS To
Get Best Results From
Feeding.

Marion farmers are building
silos this fall, approaching from
the experience of neighbors that
best results are obtained from
this manner of handling rough
feed. Several are building in
the section of the county known
as the Forks, and several more
are planned, some of them being
on the Turner farm near here,
although Mr.. Turner has several
now. Labor is very scarce,
however, and carpenters have
left jobs building houses on which
they were engaged, in order to
rush up silos to save feed.

in the Senate of the United
States, Aug. 20, to which
reference is made for more
American good Judgement:
Great powers, political and
financial, are eager to frighten
and coerce, to drive Senators
to subordinate judgement to
expediency. During the long
months which followed the
ar,nistice, was anything done
to reduce the costs of living
for the people of this land3
They were heavy in January
and February, as we'll as in
July and August. No pro-
cess was invoked and no ap-
peal was made to tighten the
burden then, but now WE
must haste.
In our haste let us not tor

conquered empires yonder,
there are twice as many mil
lions as there were in all the
countries of Western Europe
which were engaged in the
war. If we shrink from our
duty, if (under the present
terms of the league covenant)
we consent to be the guaran-
ty of territories, if we consent
that America shall be an in
strument to repress revolu-
ton, we shall not only eonse-
crate the wrongs Of the past,
but by our act we shall pledge
America against conscience
and judgement to take part in
the great war this treaty prom

GRANDJURY REPORTS
AND GETS TO WORK
FOR MARCH Term
Mason County Grand Jury Begins Its
Work-March Term of the Mason
Circuit Court Is Formally
Opened BY Judge Newell.

The March term of the Mason Cir
cult Court was opened at the Court
Hoose at $3.50 o'clock this morning by
Circuit Judge G. d. Newell. The first
thing done was to entertain the usual
ly large number of motions by the
members Of the bar and then followed
the calling Of the docket for the max
ing up OF the court calendar. Although
the docket is very large one, the
great majority Of the cases were pass
ed and from the number of Jury cases
set by the lawyers. it appears that this
is going to be a rather slow term of
court
The Grand Jury as made up is COM
posed of the following citizens: l.. H..
Young, foreman; r. G. Osborne, Phil
lip Bauer, Enoch Berry, John o. Will
son, Thomas Cummins, w. H. Collins,
A. P. Bramel, w. e. Lane, Mike wal
ton, Fl. S. Ellis and w. T. Martin. The
jury was sworn and instructed by the
court and then the members went to
their room to begin their delibera-
tions. Judge Newell gave the jury no
special instructions calling their spe-
cial attention only to the breaking of
the County Option laws and the gam
ing laws.
Little business was transacted dur
ing the day. The petit jury will re-
port Tuesday morning and then court
viii begin in earnest. 1t does not ap-
pear, however, that the petit jury will
be kept for any great length of time.
The calendar for this term follows:
