DIARIES READ
Private Papers Of Late Mr~- Edward
Wells Produced in Court

with the completion Of the testimony
OF Judge Edmund G. Mower Friday
morning most Of the afternoon session
was spent In reading extracts from the
diaries of Mrs. Wells, covering the sum-
mer OF 1917. up to the 4th OF October the
date on which the last will Of Mrs. Wells
was executed. Following this reading, At
torney Sargent introduced number Of
letters written by Mrs. Wells to various
people. and other papers.
Among the papers introduced were the
deeds Of the property on Summit street
showing how 1t came into the possession
OF Mrs Wells. The land came into her
possession In 1886 through deed from
Lucinda F. Barnes. In 1891, Anna Wells
acquired half-interest in the property.
A quit-claim deed showed that the half
interest which Mrs. Sykes had was decided
back to Mrs. Wells from James Green
leaf Sykes and Anna Wells Sykes.
In the cross-examination Of Mr.. Mower
Friday morning. he was closely ques-
toned regarding his knowledge Of the re-
lations between Mrs. Wells and Mr.. and
Mrs. Sykes, and the reasons why she dis
inherited Mrs Sykes Mr.. Mower said
that Mrs. Wells had never gone into this
question with him in detail, but that the
main reason she had mentioned was be-
cause of the attitude which Mrs. Sykes
had taken toward Mr.. Ward in her at
tempt to force him to resign as a trus-
tee Of her fathers estate.
Mr.. Brown asked Mr. Mower II the
trouble was that Mrs. Wells took the at
titude Of Mrs. Skyes toward Mr.. Ward
as a personal matter. Mr.. Mower re-
piled that that seemed to be so to GER
tain extent, Mrs. Wells, the witness said,
seemed to fee that Anna had personally
~ntagonized her in taking the attitude
that she did toward Mr.. Ward and seemed
TO feel that Anna should yield to her
wishes In the matter.
Frank r. Wells was on the stand for
few minutes Friday afternoon and
testified regarding certain members of
the Wells family who had been men,
toned In letters read to the Jury. but
whose full names were not included
Mr.. Wells was questioned also. as to
when was the first time that he ever
saw the will which Is now being con.
tested. He said that the first time he saw
II was when he took it to the probate
court in company with Mr.. Ward, just
after Mrs. Wells died. Mr.. Sargent then
inquired at whose request he had gotten
1t and taken it 20 the probate court Mr.
Wells said It was by nobody's request In
particular. But. upon further examine
ton. he remembered that it was upon
the request Of Anna Sykes, who had ask
ed him to get the will from the Burlng-
ton Trust company and bring It to her
at the house to read. He said that he
went to the Trust company and asked 70,
tho will. but was tod that it could not
be taken away except by the executors
He then asked that 1t be taken to the
probate court and filed. This was done
and Mr.. Wells saw that Mrs. Sykes had
a copy Of 1t. This happened on the day
of the funeral. before Mrs. Wells wat
buried

WHEN HAY SHOULD BE CUT

CUE timothy just as the bloom is
falling. If the crop is not too heavy
and rank, cut as soon as the dew is
off, let it cure few hours, rake into
windows, and haul to the barn the
same day. If the crop is rank, cut it
in tn eafternoon; it will wilt some
during the night and the dew will not
hurt it. Next days sun will dry it in
a few hours, when it can be raked into
windows; haul it to the barn in the
early afternoon.
Cut clover hay when about half the
blossoms are brown. Cut it as soon
as the dew is off in the morning At

ELECTRICITY DOES CHORES on FiR}lS

Electricity Used today to perform
l25 di,rereu, kinds Of chore. on the
farm A few years ago electricity Wa,
only used in the country for lighting,
but every day finds some new app.i-
cation, There are. for instance, more
than thirty different kinds of farm
machinery being operated electrically.
Grain is threshed by electric machin-
cry, feed is ground, food for the live
stock is cut and mixed, hay is hoisted
into the barns and even clover is hull
ed in this way. The up-to-date churn
is run by electricity, even the incula
tor is heated and the chickens Matched
out by the same mysterious power
The farmer of the future may find all
the drudgery of farm work done away
with and instead of laboring for long
hours can do the wrok quickly and
well by merely turning on a switch.
We hear great deal nowaday about
boys leaving the farm to go to the
city The Government is trying to
teach farmers to use electricity and
keep the boys at home.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG SPEECH

H. a recent issue, The Nation, COM
mcnting cditoriaily on the New York

guesscs at how the Times would pro-
badly announce such matter, say,
as LincoIn's Gettysburg Address.
"Morc than likely that editorial con-
cluded, cts heav yheadline on the
Gettysburg occasion would have been
Everett Delivers Mastery Grafton;
and subhsad would have announced
that president Lincoln also Spoke. "
A hardy contributor has dived into
the files of the Times and has brought
up pearls. We We're truer than we
knew. The actual headlines for No

Solemn and Imposing Event. Dedi-
cation of the National Cemetery at
