that county for thu recovery OF

that there is no merit in these
litigations is shown by my failure
to bring the cases to trial at the
May term of chancery court. |

Dear Sir:
"As you will recall the above
suit is pending i'll the Chancery
Court of Neshoba County. We
had your side OF the case prepar-
ed and ready for trial at the last
term of court, which convened III
Neshoba County on May 18th. A
few days before court was to
convene We telegraphed to Judge
A, Y. Woodward who is Chancel-
lor of that court and stated to
him that we were ready to try
the case and we're anxious to get
it disposed of at that term OF
court and asked him to fix y date
for the trial. Judge Woodward
told us that his health was bad
right at that time and that he
was in constant attendance on
hospital in Memphis and that he
only left the hospital on occas-
ions to open his various courts
aud transact merely formal mat
ters and that he was not able to
undertake the trial of any serio-
usly contested case and for that
reason the trial & f this case would
have to be postponed. We were
greatly grieved of course to learn
that the Judge was not well and
of coure could not think OF insis
ting on a trial under these cir
cumstances. We hope for Judge
Woodwar1's early recovery and
hope to get this case disposed of
at the next term of court.
"Yours very truly,
| "Mayes & Mayes.'
AS soon as Mr.. Mayes had this
phone conversation with the
Chancellor he phoned me and |
Immediately phoned Judge w. IL
Cook and Hon. d. Il Sullivan OF
Hattiesburg, the attorneys who
are representing me in the two
cases against the ex'chancery
clerk and the ex-slleritf and his
bondsmen. Thereupon, Judge
Cook wrote to Judge Woodward
asking il it was his purpose not
to try any litigated cases and re-
ceived the following reply under
date OF May 8, 1919, written by
Judge Woodward ON the bottom
of Judge Cooks letter:
"My Dear Judge:
ssThe above just to hand and |
hasten to reply by return mail.

ligated cases at Philadelphia next

FARM BUREAU REORGANIZED

The farmers of Shiawassee County
are taking an active interest in the re-
organization of the Farm Bureau.
From present indications the county
bids fair to have one of the larges.
farm bureau memberships in the state.
Membership cards are coming in daily
from all parts of the county indicat-
ing that the more progressive farm
ers appreciate the work of the county
agent and are getting in line with the
great movement of organization that
is taking hold of farmers throughout
the country. In the near future meet
ings will be held in different parts Of
the county to systematically organize
the different localities in such a way
that they will be better able to cope
with the problems of their community
as they come up.
Problems such as marketing, live
stock Improvement, crop improve
ment, and others that are demanding
the attention of the average farmer
more today than ever before, can only
be handled successfully through the
organized efforts of the people in the
separate communities of the county.
The farm bureau is the machinery
that brings together all the interests
of the county under one directing head,
and judging by the way farmers are
responding to the requests to become
members they appreciate this fact
moro than evar hafora
Shiawassee County is especially for
tunate at this particular time in hav-
ing the services of a man especially
well fitted to take up the Farm Blu
reau work. Mr.. H. Z. Dennison for
Aye years Assistant Professor of
Dairy Husbandrysat the Mirhjgan Ass
ricultural College, and for the past
two years engaged in practical agri-
culture, began work April 1st as
county agent. Mr.. Dennison was
raised on farm, is graduate of the
Michigan Agricultural College and
has had extensive experience in con-
Quoting farmers meetings while en-
gagged in extension work throughout
Michigan.
The Farm Bureau Office has been
established in the Miner Building,
Owosso, and farmers are urged to
make use of it in every way possible
to further their interests. Mr.. Denni-
son plans to be in the Office every Sat-
urday ana will appreciate personal
visits at that time.
Talk Farm Bureau in your commu-
nifty and write to Mr.. Dennison con-
corning it. E. p. Sherman.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-Ad-
vancement of naval armament from
Spanish American war days to the
present is shown in the weight of a
broadside fired from the old battle
ship Oregon. the largest at the time
of the Spanish American war and
from vessels of the Pennsylvania
type of the new Pacific fleet.
The Oregon could fire a broadside
of steel ~projectiles weighing $500
pounds. A broadside from the
Pennsylvania type with it's 14-inch
guns would weight 1850 pounds.
Future American dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers are to mount 16-
inch guns. Each %projectile will
weigh 21OO pounds compared with
the 14-inch shells of the Pennsyl-
yania. The broadside from the flu
.ture ~battleships will weigh a total
of 25,2O0 pounds more than four
times the size of an Oregon broad
side.
The new ships will be the heaviest
armed ships in the world. The 10
inch guns were developed during
1918 and proved satisfactory in
every respect.

CHAMPS WALtOP TO
make RING HISTORY
JEFFRIES SAYS FEW COULD HIT
AS HARD AS JACK
DEMPSEY

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 20
Despite all the men who have gone
before him, Jack Dempsey is in line
to make pugilistic hosiery that will
live forever"
This was the comment of James j.
Jeffries, formerly worlds heavy
weight champion, on the victory OF
Jack Dempsey over Jess Willard at
Toledo, O., when Dempsey annexed
the highest honors of the squared
circle.
1.-THE record he has made in the
last four years." said the ex-cham-
pion, with his sleep-producing
punches, is one of the marvels of
the prize ring and stamps him as a
pugilist with hitting powers such as
few champions have possessed since
glove contests succeeded the days OF
bare knuckle fights"
After comparing Dempsey's ring
record with other pugilists who
wore the coveted belt. Jeffries said:
Some of the old-timers declare
that Bob FitZsimmons was the
hardest puncher in ring history. But
great as was old FItZ's record. the
list of knockouts he hung up was
not as long as that which Dempsey
compiled in four short years.
.'Fitzsimmons,' continued Jeffries,
was credited with "a knockouts,
while Dempsey has ended As bouts
with the count of ten"

OLD OREGON TOY BATTLESHIP
BESIDE MODERN DREADNAUGHI

The largest guns on the Atlantic
fleet in it's cruise of 1sO1-l9oS
around the world was 12-inch. the
greatest number of these on n
single ships was four, against the
batteries of IL 14-inch guns on the
more powerful dreadnaughts OF Ad-
moral Hugh Rodman's new Pacitlc
fleet. The 12-inch gun had a maxi
mum effective range of 10000 YARDS
against the $4,000 yard Rodman
guns. The fleet of 10 years ago
naval officers say, would be helpless
against even a small part of the Pa
cific fleet. The Atlantic fleet when
it made it's famous trip was consld-
cred the greatest fleet ever brought
together.
Admiral Robley D.. Evans COM
manded the Atlantic fleet until IL
reached San Francisco. All his YES
sells burned coal, as did the ore
gon of Spanish American war days.
Admiral Rodman's flagship, the New
Mexico, is electrically propelled ana
most of his vessels are oil burners,
thus materially increasing their
cruising radius over all previous
| American fleets.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, July 20
The cost Of living is likely to stay
high for a long time to come in the
opinion of the Philadelphia board OF
trade. This view is a result OF a
compilation of statistics from many
lines of trade and industry.
According t these figures the adj
vance in price in this country since
1914 has been about 1O7 per cent,
in Canada, 115 per cent; Great Brit
ain 1873 per cent, and France $50
pei cent. 1t is pointed out that, in
spite of material reductions in the
price of steel, the advance in other
commodities since the armistice has
been so great that the average price
schedules have been reduced but 81
e cent below prices prevailing
October 1, 1918.
The following are given as rea~
sons why wages will not be much
less for a considerable period OF
time:
