electric light and power, of running
water, modern bathroom and lab
or saving devices of all kinds have
been installed on the farm ii is
found that the boys are much more
content to stay and carry on the
work for which their early training
has fitted them. A great many
farmers, heads of families in which
there are several boys, have realized
this and have given their farms
these modern conveniences. They
have been repaid by having their
boys stay with them instead of go

KEEPING THE BOY


One of the farmers most difficult
problems has been the keeping of
the boy on the farm. 1t seems to
be human nature that as soon as a
boy arrives at the young manhood
period, the city appeals very
strongly to him. All the while he
is attending the country school he
hears all Sorts of stories about the
good times folks are having in the
city. During the summer vacation
period, his city cousin comes out to
spend a few days on the farm and
tells him all about the amusements
going on back home and the con-
veniences he has in the city of
which the farm lad is deprived. All
these rumors tend to excite the curl
osity of the country lad and by the
time he reaches about twenty years
of age he has decided to desert the
farm, go to the city, enjoy life and
above all make lots of money in a
short time.
Up to this time he has spent all
his life on the farm. He has learned
the cultivation of soil, the rotation

Caillaux Faces Trial
Today on Treason Charge
(By Associated P-ess)

PARIS, Feb. 17.-Joseph Caillaux,
former premier, will today face trial
before the senate acting as the high
court, on the specific charge of hav-
ing plotted against the external Sc
curity Of the senate by maneuvers,
Vaccinations and intelligence with the
enemy tending to favor the latter's
enterprises against France and her al
lies.
Article 79 Of the penal military code
makes conviction of such an offense
punishable with death. Caillaux has
been in custody 25 months and two
days. Parliamentary immunity was
lifted in his case on Dec. %, 1917, the
prisoner himself asking that this ac-
ton be taken as he said he wished
to appear before judges and face his
accusers- He was arrested on JAN
ID, 1918 upon a VIZ ant issued by Cap
tain Bonchardon.
The senate is expected to sit as the
high court for only three days each
week, the other days being employed
ir the discharge of routine business.
The trial therefore is expected to last
between two and three months Theo-
dore Lescouve, procurator of the
French republic, will conduct the case
for the state, assisted by M. Regnault
and Captain Mornet, who prosecuted
Bolo Pasha, NJ. Lenoir and NJ Duval,
who were tried for treason.

court has overruled a demurrer filed
by the state board of tax commission
ers in an injunction suit brought by
the Fletcher Savings and Trust COM
panies, OF Indianapolis, holding that

ton in the case involved whether the

capital fund in erecting building on
ground on which it holds a 80 year
lease, with a privilege of renewal for
80 years more, acquired an ownership
in real estate within the meaning of
the law. which provides that whenever
bank or trust company shall have
acquired an ownership in real estate,
then the amount of investment in real
estate which is carried in the capital
stock account, shall be deducted from
the gross valuation of the capital
1t is expected the case will be ap-
pealed to the supreme court.

PRODUCTION TO Be
CUT BY FARMERS;
INDICT PR0F|TEER

Belief that the profiteer Is the worst
enemy Of America, and that the farmer
is hardly to be blamed if he cuts pro-
duction, is expressed in many of the
letters received Tuesday on the indus
trial situation from farmers of the
county.
Hope is expressed by the farmers
that the universal movement for Or
ganization will bring relief, will auto
matically squeeze out the allegedly
profiteering middleman.
B. F. LUCAS-Yes, am planning to
produce less in 1920. First reason, the
scarcity of farm hands and the high
prices they charge; secondly, fertilizer
is higher; thirdly, the price of all farm
ing tools are out Of consideration,
when compared to prices received for
grain and farm products. Conditions
are caused now by the profiteers. Tho
price is set on grain and the farmer
has to take that price and when he
goes to town he has to pay their prices
regardless for what he gets for his
farm products. This situation could be
relieved by the city people getting in
touch with real country life, and It's
hardships.
j. w. MENDENHALT-Ia am not 60
ing to farm as extensively as hereto
fore on account of health. Farmers in
this locality are going to farm only
what they can do themselves. Some
are making sales, selling off the
surplus and intend going it alone. At
the presnt price of farm products and
the price of the stuff we have to buy,
farmers nay the price of hired man
and break even. The farmer sells his
produce for what ne can get for it, and
pays the other fellows price for what
he has to buy.
Is it any wonder farmers are or
ganizing all over the country to re-
lieve the situation? I believe that if
about One-half of our high salaried
| men We're made to take their feet off
| of the table and started out to earn
their living by the sweat of their face
as the poor farmer does, some relief
would come on that line. Honestly, it
does seem that as soon as young man
| gets through high school. he has to
have soft snap, and, by the way. the
most of them seem to get there. They
are supplied with kid glove jobs, re-
gardless of profit. have told you
my views. Don't blame the farmer
Show him little more charity in the
| future
| JOHN MERCER-I think the farmer
will have to get along with less help,
therefore 1t will cut down production.

failure of the spruce production pro-

Minority Report Differs
The minority takes many of these
charges up, denies them and defends
those charged with carrying out the

with having sacrificed facts for sen,
