Ed Ware Connected
On Murder Churge

Helena, Nov. 17.-Ed Ware,
charged with the murder of w. A.
Adkins, special agent of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad at Hoop Spur
on the night of September 30, this
afternoon was found guilty of MUIR
der in the first degree after the
jury had been out four minutes.
Ware declined to accept the lawyers
appointed by the court to defend
him and retained l.. A. Semmes to
conduct his defense The trial
lasted two hours and five minutes.
Ware took the stand in his own
behalf and denied that he fired any
shots at Hoop Spur on September
80 or on the following day. He adj
mitted he was secretary of the Hoop
Spur lodge of the Progressive Far
mers' and Household Union of
America and that he was armed
with rife at the meeting of the
union September 30 and on the fol-
lowing day.
Witnesses for the state testified
that Ware took part in the shooting
of Adkins, and one witness said he
saw Ware lying beside log with
his rifle pointing toward the auto
mobile beside which Adkins was
killed He said Ware afterward told
him he had fired three shots at the
automobile.
Another witness, Suggs Bondman,
testified he was a member of the
Elaine lodge of the Union and that
Ware attended a meeting of the
lodge shortly before the shooting at
Hoop Spur and instructed the Elaine
members how to conduct their lodge
meetings. Bondman also said Ware
discussed the list of white men who
were to have been killed on October
6. the date set for the insurrectlon.
Mayor S. S. Steaks and Postmaster
j. N. Moore of Elaine were among
those listed for slaughter.
Ware is the twelfth negro to W
convicted of first degree murder in
connection with the Elaine insur-
rection. Eleven others were con-
victed earlier in the month and have
been sentenced to die in the electric
chair at Little Rock, five on Decem-
Der 81 and six on January /, 1920.
Ware was captured at Algiers,
La, about 10 days ago by New Or
leans officers and was brought to
Helena a week ago. At New Or
leans Ware requested that he be

taken to Little Rock because he
feared mob violence if brought to
Helena. There was no demonstra-
ton when he was brought here, ac-
companied by the Rev Richard Nc
Farland, negro minister, who was
arrested in New Orleans in connec-
ton with the Instruction. Nc
Farland is charged with a minor of
Tense.
Jim Miller, another alleged leader
of the October instruction, who
was arrested at Tamo, south of
Pine Bluff, Saturday night, is ex-
pected to reach Helena tomorrow.
Sheriff Kitchens sent a deputy to
Pine Bluff today to bring the negro
back to Helena. The specific
charge against Miller has not been
made known, but it is believed to
be murder.
Sheriff Kitchens and other au-
thorities are still actively engaged
in the hunt for Robert l.. Hill,
president of the Progressive Far
mers' and Household Union of
America, who frequently signed
himself Omitted States and Foreign
Detective, and is charged with or
ganizing the negroes for the out
break.

BETTER FARMING {
L. c. MOSER, Editor. {
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
HOME CURED MEATS ARE
BETTER AND COST LESS

Methods of curing pork which
will make the quality and flavor of
the meat far superior to any pack
ing house product may be practiced
on Arkansas farms is the advice Of
j. w. Read, chemist for the expert
ment station, University of Arkan-
sas. The most excellent cured pork
at much less than cost can be pre-
pared if only the proper care in
butchering and curing are observed
Only hogs that ar healthy, fat
and gaining in weight should be Sc
lected for slaughter. Meat from
such animals is not only more pal
atable but will keep longer whether
fresh or cured. The animal should
not have received any feed for "a
hours before it is killed. The car
cass should be thoroughly cooled but
not allowed to freeze before it is
cut up. The average 200-pound
hog should dress out 100 pounds.
! After the carcass has been cut
and trimmed the following recipes
will give excellent results if care
fully carried out in every detail.
| For brine curing about 100 pounds
of meat, place thin layer of salt
in the bottom of the barrel, rub
each piece with fine salt and pack
tightly. Sprinkle over each layer
of meat thin layer of salt, weight
down and let stand over night.
Drain off the liquid the next day
and cover the meat with two gallons
of brine which has been prepared
by dissolving eight pounds of clean
salt in two gallons of boiling water.
Do not cover with the brine until
it is cold. Let stand six or seven
days, pour off brine, unpack, treat
with salt as before and use the
same brine for covering. Repeat
this treatment a third time at the
end of another week and then leave
until cured.
The time required for curing va.
ries with the different weights Of
meat. While average thin pieces
| of bacon will cure in two weeks, 10
days longer must be allowed for a
10-pound ham. A 20-pound ham
should be allowed to stay in the
brine about so days, while a 15-
pound ham requires about 35 days.
When cured, remove and soak for
about one hour in slightly warm
water.
After washing the cured meat it
is hung up for smoking. Hang
pieces in smoke house so that they
do not touch, and about five feet
above the fire. Protect any pieces
from excessive heat, allowing suffi-
cient ventilation for heat to pass
out. Hard woods like hickory or
maple are considered superior to
soft woods. Resinous woods should
not be used. The fire should be
kept continuous, but not too hot.
After smoking, wrap meat in cloth

HIGH COST OF CLOTHING
DUE TO CARELESSNESs

High cost of clothing may be
reduced to a great extent if more
attention is given to reducing the
high cost of carelessness in taking
care of garments. Miss Connie j.
Bonslagel, state leader of girls and
women's work with the cooperative
extension division work in home
economics, University of Arkansas,
says that the care that one takes
of a suit or dress more than the
money put into it determines the
service the garment will give and
the appearance it will make in pub
lie.
Many improvised conveniences
may be provided in the clothes
closet which save time in putting
clothing away and avoids unneces-
sary pressing, explains Miss Bon
slagel. First of all, an old curtain
pole or piece of gas pipe from one
end Of the closet to the other and
high enough to permit the longest
frocks to hang free of the floor by
liz inches should be provided
Clothes hangers padded with crum-
pied tissue paper and covered with
scrap cloth prevents the marks of
hangers or really damaging the
finer frocks.
"Small hooks on the back wall
Of the closet are handy for coat
hangers for blouses and for chill.
dren's clothing which are not as
long. If the ceiling of the closet is
too low for shoe shelf, 12-inch
plank on the floor nailed against
the back wall at an angle of 80 de-
grees with a piece of 2x1 " Inch
molding two inches from the top is
very handy for hanging shoes by
the heels. The best shoes should be
provided with shoe trees or stuffed
full of crumpled paper.
Clothing should not be thrown
across chair or hung up in the
wrong manner by neckband OF
shoulder seams. Damp or dusty
clothing should not be put in the
closet with other clothing.
"In clothing is taken care of
properly it will require less press
ing and less brushing, both of which
shorten the length of time it will
appear as new.
thine spent in equipping con-
venient, orderly closet is time that
is soon saved. If anyone is the
possessor of a clothes closet that
looks like a rummage sale in action,
they should try the orderly way
once, if for no other reason that it
improves ones disposition"

CANNED GOODS SHOULD
BE STORED IN CELLAR

A cellar is the ideal place for
storing canned fruits, vegetables
and meats because more constant
temperature is maintained through
out the year, says Miss Stella
Palmer, director of home economics
in the University of Arkansas.
While the most important factor
in keeping canned foods is the
method employed in canning, it is
necessary to take proper precau-
tions to guard against freezing or
uneven changes in temperature.
Also some foods change color
through exposure to light, so that
a dark place is necessary for stor-
ing.
The cellar should be ceiled so
that it can be kept clean and dry,
Shelves may be suspended from the
ceiling on the dark side. Some peo-
ple have storm cellars. These are
also excellent for storing canned
foods.
