of 1921. A total of two hundred cars
Of wheat has been shipped up to the
present time while a small quantity
Is IN storage. Conservative estimates
Of the Crosby wheat, that IS the sec

of Crosbyton, has been placed at
three hundred cars. The estimated
loaded average of the three hundred
cars IS placed at fifteen hundred

receive from wheat this year approx
mately $4,000.
More than twice the amount OF
acreage has been sown to wheat this
year in Crosby county than in 1871.
Early last fall, farmers having large
acreages of cotton, prepared their
ground by blowing under the cotton
and began preparations for their
present wheat crop. Some crops have
made as high as twenty-seven bushels
per acre this year. Practically the
entire crop of Crosby county will av-
erage from twelve TO fifteen bushels
per acre. One man in the Crosbyton
section averaged twenty-five bushels
per acre off Of farm Of six hundred
acres.
Five combines have been added to
three already in use in that county
costing approximately $1,000 each.
People are realizing a profit from
their crops this year in Crosby coun-
ty, we are informed by those in
position TO know. The use Of the
combines have greatly lowered the
cost of harvesting and labor prices
have been held down throughout the
season. Many farmers, who owned
farms. but rented them out during
the past few years have taken over
their farms and are cultivating them.
Crosby county is going strong on
hogs and at the present time we are
positive that Crosby County has as

FORGOT TO HANG
NEGRO ON THE DAY
FIXED BY JUDGE
Now the Sheriff of Baton Rouge, La,
Wants to Know If He Has Au-
thority to Hang Lonnie
Eaton on Any 9th
er Day.

Baton Rouge, Ia. Feb 9.Lonnie
Eaton, the man the sheriff forgot to
hang, may be dead legally. Attorney
General Coco frankly admitted to-day
he didn't know, but reports from Ou-
chita parish prison, where 1onnie has
been taking in, legally or illegally, his
regular three squares day ever since
his execution was mislaid by Sheriff
Frant Feb. 4, do not indicate that his
appetite has suffered because of his
possible demise.
Sheriff Grant wrote the governor
yesterday that in the press of civil and
criminal matters Feb he utterly for
got the mandate to put the negro, con
victed of the murder of a white man, to
death on that day. The sheriff didn't
know what to do about it. He had no
warrant to execute his prisoner on any
other day and asked for instructions.
The governor turned the matter over
to Attorney General Coco who is rak-
ing the law books for precedents. 1t
was said the once in jeopardy prinei-
pie of law might prevent any execu-
tion. In the meantime the negro is ply
sically alive and the board of pardons
still has before it an application for
clemency.

Sick and Wounded Kept in
Hospitals 'Indescribably
Filthy
UNDER CONDITIONS
CALLED TERRIBLE
Abel Davis Testified Before
Legion Executive
Committee

Washington, ID. c.. Feb. 9,-FormeI
service men are being kept in private
hospitals that are ''indescribably filthy
and in which conditions are terrible
Abel Davis of Chicago, chairman of
the disqualification committee of the
American Legion, declared to-day be-
fore the Legions executive committee
He charged that after the men were
placed in such hospitals they were left
without visits or inspections by repre-
sentatiyes of the public health service,
He read a report of survey of hos
pital in Illinois made by representa-.
tiyes of the Legion. This said that
white and negro patients slept in the
same rooms; that the pharmacy CON
tanning narcotics and drugs of all sorts
was left unlocked and that when asked
if female patients used the same bath
room as the males, the doctor in charge
stated that 'the women only remained
take any baths"
Service men are now removed from
this hospital, Mr.. Davis said, as a re-
suit OF pressure brought to bear on
public health service officials
Speaking on the proposed consolida
tion OF the bureaus of vocational edu-
cation, war risk insurance and part
of the public health service he declared
Heads OF the bureaus do not get
along together nor do they cooperate
for the best interests of the service
men. Statements by them, which they
have made To us repeatedly, have no
truth in them. They spend the greater
part Of their time getting up records.
In other words, preparing their alibis
beforehand"
Davis declared that government bu-
reaus having TO do with soldier relief
were packing the committees of the
Legion with bureau employees who are
of the Legion.
As a result the work Of the Legion
in soldier relief matters is being great
" handicapped" he said. "At the
leveland convention the bureaus
licked MS 20 frazzle in all matters re
ating TO veterans relief and the lie
zion wondered how il was done"
After hearing Mr. Davis the execu.
i've committee recommended TO the
'tate divisions of the Legion that they
'efrain from appointing government
bureau employees on their committees. |

MOVIE CENSORSHIP
Bill Was Considered at Public Hearing
at State House.

That the moving picture censorship
bin is stirring up much interest about
the state was shown when large mum.
Der of people appeared at the public
hearing before the general committee
of the Legislature last evening
Those WHO spoke in favor of the
measure included Rev Joseph Reynolds
of Winooski, Mr.. and Mrs. Dallas r.
Pollard of Burlington Rev. II. b. Ran
kin of Newport, Senator Ira LaaeuF of
Middlebury, NJ. II. Smith of Landgrove,
Rev F. J. Knapp OF Christ's church,
Montpelier. and Others.
Those who spoke against the meas
ure were George II. Almon, one of the
proprietors Of the Playhouse at Mont
pelier, Mr. Bradley, representative from
Swanton and Judge Warner Graham of
Bellows Falls.
1t was stated that there had been
some misunderstanding about the time
of this public hearing and that some Of
the representatives of moving pictures
interest had asked to be heard at a
later date The chairman therefore an
nounced that a further hearing would
be given on the measure next Monday
evening at 1880 O'Clock
Those who spoke in favor Of the bill
advanced two classes of arguments
why it should pass First. that il was
for the interest of public morals; sec.
ond. that it was for the benefit of the
moving picture houses themselves. The
against the bin We're chiefly
that state censorship would not prove
practicable and that the public as
whole should censor the picture rather
than any two or three people in the
state.
