PRODUCE RINGERS COLLARS
Property Found I'm Rufe Kings Home
Said to Belong to PeddIer.

Lyndon, Kan, Oct. 2s.-Property
found in Rufe Kings home at Maple
Hill and alleged to have belonged to
william Ringer. the peddler who
rnysteriously disappeared in 1906 or
1907, was introduced as evidence by
the state and examined by the jury
in the trial of King here today.
Among other things were number
of collars which it is claimed Ringer
wore 1t is alleged that King scratch
ed the peddIer's initials from these
collars and placed his own on them.
There were also several articles OF
jewelry introduced as evidence. Fred
Baker, sheriff of Wabaunsee county,
was recalled to the witness stand and
testified concerning finding OF the
property in Kings home.
r. A Wilmington, who lives north
west of Maple Hill, told on the witness
stand that one day while he was maui
ing manure from the King livery barn
that King told him to quit. He had
gotten down to the earth, he quoted
King as saying. and that was suffi-
cient. 1t was at this place that the
bodies were found.
It Is probable that such of the jurors
as live in Lyndon will be permitted
to vote at the general election next
Tuesday, it was said today. 1t is not
intended to delay the trial any longer
than absolutely necessary on this ac-
count. however. Witnesses whose
testimony is not needed at once will
probably be permitted to go home to
vote.
It was not definitely decided this
morning whether the trial will be re-
sumed tomorrow morning. II is
Thought probable that court will ad-
>iourn tonight until Monday morning.
The state is now introducing as much
evidence concerning the killing of
Ringer and Gutshal as OF John
Woody.
The major part of the evidence the
state intends to introduce still re"
mains to be brought before the jury.
It is not thought probable that the de-
Tense will put on any testimony before
next Wednesday.
Attorneys for King are said to have
in their possession a photograph OF
Ringer, which they will attempt to
prove was taken after his alleged dis
appearance from Maple Hill in 1905
or 1907. If this can be done 1t will
ruin the states case so far as the
peddIer is concerned, and will I'M
doubleday have the effect of shaking
the confidence of the jury in the web
of evidence woven around the killing
of John Woody.
The state Thursday presented the
evidence of Mayor ]. M. Beach. Lee
Jones, Dave Stewart, George Hughes,
Dick Jones and Dick Clark, all of
Maple Hill, and DR.. p. E. Wagner, of

CHURCHES AWAKENING
TO SOCIAL PROBL MS

One Of the most significant develop
ments Of the times is the awakening
Of the churches to social problems and
their gradual swing from the support
Of the favored classes to their support
OF Industrial democracy. In its recent
convention the Presbyterian Church of
the United States adopted the follow
ing principles:
For an acknowledgment of the obli-
cations of wealth.
For the application of Christian
principles to the conduct of industrial
organizations.
For more equitable distribution of
wealth.
For the abatement of poverty.
For the abolition Of child labor.
For the regulation Of the conditions
of the industrial occupation Of women.
For the release Of every worker
from work one day in seven.
For the employment of methods of
Cancellation and arbitration in indus
trial pursuits.
For the development of a Christian
spirit iii the attitude of society toward
offenders against the law.

Poultry Hints
for January, 1920
Selection Of Breeders

The following signs indicate high
vitality and should be kept in mind
when selecting breeders. The actions
and movements Of fowls probably
best indicate their physical conditions.
The physically weak are inactive and
dull and more likely to sit than to
stand. They do not range to any
extent in search or forage nor do
they scratch in search Of feed. They
are longest on the roosts, being the
last to leave in the morning and the
first on at night and oftentimes
spending part of the day there
The loudness and frequency of the
crow of the male and the cackle Of
the female, are indications of physi-
cal strength and superiority. The
weak fowls seldom crow or sing.
A long thin neck, thin beak, mar
row head, long slender body, long
legs and thighs or a stilted appear
ance indicate lack of vigor. The
strong bird at any age should have
bright prominent eye, we'll devel-
oped, block body, bright plunage and
erect carriage, bright comb and wat
ties and should be active and spright-
ley in movements.
Advantages of Early Matching
By early Matching is meant some
time before May LIST, after that date
may be considered medium or late
hatch. Probably April is the best
month to hatch in the state of Mon
tana. Chicks Matched in April should
be matured and laying by November.
If they are not laying or ready to lay
by this time it is doubtful if they lay
until spring, for cold weather gem
orally comes about this time and will
stop them from laying until warm
weather comes. But if they have al
ready started to lay the cold weather
will not stop them entirely.
Marketing
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture estimates that of all eggs pro-
duced Is per cent are unfit for food
before they reach the consumer. This
loss is divided as follows y
nfCy per cent

TREATING INCREASES
YIELD OF POTATOES

Treating the seed increased the
yield OF potatoes 22h bushels per
acre. This was the result secured by
five Cass county farmers. These
demonstrations were made by the fol-
lowing farmers in cooperation with
e. A. Wilson, county agent for the
Cass County Farm Bureau.
In harvesting their crop Peter Nc
Laughlin of Hunter, secured a yield Of
40 bushels from the treated potatoes
while the untreated went 100 bushels
r. r. johnson Of Casselton, secured
IS bushels from his treated seed and
60 from the untreated. J. B. Akisson
Of Grandin, had a yield of IS bushels
from the treated potatoes and 60 from
the untreated. III. Capener of Erie,
secured 100 bushels from both tn,
treated and untreated potatoes while
Harry Critchfield from Hunter, had
yield of 122 bushels from the treated
seed and SO from the untreated. This
makes an average increase of 221a
bushels due to treating the seed or an
