fall as last week, but no section of
the state is now suffering from the
drought.
Corn cutting is getting more gener-
al as the crop nears maturity. Some
reporters think the late corn shows
considerable improvement, but this is
doubtful, although weather conditions
have been more favorable

Late potatoes show a slight i'm

Meadows and pastures have i'm

The Man Who
Stabbed Horses
Is Sentenced
Sturgeon Leader.)


Circuit Judge A. w. Walker at the
Huntsville court house Monday morn
ing sentenced Floyd Barron farmer
to two years in the State penitentiary
on a charge of willfully manning
dumb animals.
Barron, who lives on the Huntsville
Higbee road, confessed to having
wounded three of his neighbours
horses with a pitchfork. In his con-
fession he stated that because he was
enraged at his neighbor, W. R. (Dink)
Brockman, and wanted to get even,
he went to Brockman's pasture on the
night of March 18th and jabbed the
two remaining inside prongs Of a A.
pronged pitchfork into three of Brock
mans horses, leaving the prongs
sticking in the third horse.
The Moberly blood hounds were
taken to the farm March 18th and
starting from the pasture where the
crime had been committed, went dir
ectly to Barron's farm and to his
person. Shortly after the dogs had
trailed him down, Barron confessed in
a written statement to having COM
mitted the crime, and was placed
under arrest. We understand he was
later paroled.

PAPER PAYS TRIBUTE
TO COUNTRY EDITOR.
(From the Omaha News.l

IOW ZIG OIIldLld INcWS.J @
If country editors could cash in on
all the pleasant things said about
them by their city fraters the high
cost Of n%ewsprint would be the least
Of their troubles. But compliments
butter no parsnips, although they
sweeten the spirit and make life ion
joyous. It requires courage to face a
15-cent rate on paper that sold for
2h cents six years ago, but nobody
can question the grit of a mar who
keeps a country paper going these
times nor the sunshine in his char
acter as he scatters rays Of good will
and good humor over his community.
Give the country editor a clean bill
OF health at the bank, and two or
three tons Of newsprint stacked back
of his press, and his services will be
all that could be desired. Usually
when the country paper falls down it
il because its community fell down
first.

ALLIES ONE
IN DEMANDS
ON GERMANY

PARIS, April 18.-The Allie are
one in their demands upon Germany
for the indemnity and the next thirty
days will see developments one way or
the other. Germany has failed to
realize her opportunities to settle and
the report that Berlin is sending new
indemnity terms TO the United States
in a move for mediation is not helping
matters.
Paris is opposed to arbitration of
the indemnity matter and does not
e how the Vatican can have any
power to act in the matter as report
ed. The French people and especially
in diplomatic circles, do not believe
the United States will be interested in
a mediation question.
The general impression is that Ger
many is determined to escape pay
ment if possible and fails to realize
her position is generally understood
by the Allies and that they have no in
tention of falling in with her plan.
