Cleaning Your PloW.

Many plows, even those that have
been well covered with oil or axle
grease, fail 10 scour readily when first
taken into the field. The following
method is being used by many farmers
to overcome the inconvenience attend
ing the use of a plow that fails to clean
off quickly: The plow is taken to the
nearby branch or creek and drawn
few times through the sand or gravel
beds that invariably are found along
water courses. II usually takes but a
few turns 10 cut of the rust or hard
ened grease. Under no circumstances
does the sand stick TO the plow, no
matter low rusty It may be and II the
gravel does not contain large stones
the plow will not be dulled.

DROP THE TERM "W00DL0T"
Government Authorities Favor the
Word Woodland" When Used In
Reference TO Farm Forestry.

The increased interest In private
forestry, particularly with reference
TO farm forestry, has brought about
the general acceptance of the term
woodland" or woods" instead Of the
original one Of ''woodlot," according
to the forest service.
A large proportion Of the woodland
In the eastern United States is In ir-
regularly shaped tracts, spreading out
over ridges, rsvines, slopes, swamps,
and poor lands, whereas "woodlot"
carries the idea of n small-sized, reg
ularIy shaped, and, III large section
of the country, fenced tract. When
applied to the large or irregularly
shaped tracts. i !. obvious that the

satisfactory, more expressive, and
avoid the possibility Of creating con-

most sections Of the country where the
word "woodlots" has never been In To-

Monday morning Judge Stewart be-
gan 10 hear the case Of the State VS.
Rozell and Smith charged with the
murder OF Abner Holcomb on the fifth
Of last August.
The prosecution was conducted by
Prosecuting Attorney Adams, D. F
McConkey, and G. Purd Hays, while
the defense was represented by Judge
John T. Moore, Tom Moore, L. +.
Bearden, and Clarence Hill. The iu-
vors were: c. A, Clark, Gus Bispling

| E. H. Crum, w. A.. Boyles, E, F.
Fronaberger, G. NJ. Watt, J. c. Eli
SOP, C. S. Clayton, Henry Davis, and
]. f. Gibson.
The defense showed BY its questions
to the prospective jurors that it was
very anxious to find out the attitude Of
each man as to the weight he would
give to a dying declaration.
The prosecution based its case on
the dying statement Of Abner Holcomb
as retold by Rebecca Holcomb his
vile and Sis Bray his daughter The
defence contendsd admission was i'm
proper, denying Holcomb knew he was
dying, also contending that deceased
was an unbeliever and therefore his state
ment was not competent. Alter dis
missing the jury and hearing the mat
ter Judge Stewart decided the dying
declaration should be admitted so lar
as il referred to the actual assault but
ruling out other details.
Rozell claimed he, had nothing to do
With the killing Of Abner Holcomb--
merely looked on and held Smiths horse
while the latter shot and threw stones.
They both claimed that Holcomb be-
gan the attack by throwing stones.
The defense attempted to prove the
good regulations Of the defendants and
the evil reputation Of Abner Holcomb,
The prosecution then attempted to
show the good reputation OF AbneI
Holcomb both in Kentucky and in
Taney county.
Smith claimed self defense in that
Holcomb had made threats against the
lives Of both, and both said they saw
something that looked like a CUR
standing at some distance away against
the fence.

man when the neighbors came 10 helT

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-.
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity,
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of rairoadS--the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do.
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion. which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost,
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
