SECOND ACCUSED
 SOLDIER M0BBER
 ID TRIAL MONDAY
Sergeant Stephens, Alleged Leader of GuardSmen Sus- peCted of the Murder of
 Baird, to Face Jurors
By FRED H. GORMLEY Montgomery, Bureau. The Age-Herald 221-2 First National Bank Building

Montgomery, February 19.-(Special) Sergt Glenn R. Stephens of Company M Alabama national guard, will be placed on trial at Hamilton Monday afternoon on an indictment charging complicfty in the lynchipg of William Baird in Walker county. Stephens will be the second of the nine national guardsmen to be tried and the eyes of the people are again turned on the courthouse in the little inland town of Marion county where Sergt. Robert J. Lancaster heard a jury tell the Ma rion circuit court two weeks ago that it had been unable to decide from the evidence whether he was innocent or guilty of being a member of the mob which removed Baird from the Walk CT county jail and shot him to death early in the morning of January B.
 There is some speculation as to whether Judge Horace C. Wilkinson, special attorney general will use a number of new witnesses. Judge Wilk- inson, following the Lancaster trial went to Townley. Walker county, made a thorough investigation and immediately reconvened the special jury. Some of the scores of witnesses examined before the grand jury this week may appear as witnesses for the state in the trial of Stephens.
 WEST A WITNESS
 Leslie West, taxicab driver of Town ley, who has been held in jaail under no charge, is expected again to be the states most important witness, but there is much speculation as to how the state will support his testimony In the trial of Lancaster West testified that a party of national .guardsmen rented his car the night of the lynch ing and that he drove it toward Jasper without knowing the purpose of the soldiers, but that he did not partici- pate further than in the driving of the car to the jail
 Two witnesses, Guy Cannon and Clyde Springer, guardsmen, testified that Lancaster pointed to himself when one asked who fired the first shot and again pointed to himself when another soldier read about one member of the mob warning a prisoner in the jail that an outcry would be the last for him.
 All the testimony in the Lancaster case cannot apply to the Stephens case and many persons are wondering what additional evidence the state will furnish in its effort to prove the guilt of Stephens. Judge Horace c. Wilkin- son, special counsel for the state, has asserted that the testimony ins the Stephens case will be as strong as tha. in the Lancaster case
 The defense in the Stephens trial is expected to plead an alibi as it did in the Lancaster case and to furnish testimony to show that stephens was in bed in the barracks at Townley when Baird was taken from the jail and executed beside the road leading from Jasper to Carbon Hill.

 SHOULD ASK FOR INFORMAL TION ON MARKET BEFORE
 SHIPPING T

Shippers should secure information on the markets and the inspection of products which they ship before they consign their shipments, says Turner Wright, farm agent in marketing of the Agricultural Extension Divison, University of Arkansas.
 An Arkansas sweet potato grower shipped car of sweet potatoes to a western market few weeks ago, says Mir. Wright" and was expecting a check in payment when the dealer wired him that the car of potatoes had arrived in bad order, having been wrecked in transit and that about 200 baskets in the car were entirely emp ty.
 "The shipper finally released the car to the railroad company for dis position, but in the meantime sent a man to investigate the condition >of the car. He found that the car had arrived in good condition. The mar ket had declined however, and the shipper lost heavily on the car. Ship pers may secure government report on markets and government inspec- tion of products upon arrival at the destination upon application for the service desired"

LIVING COST REDUCED
 BY HOME CURED MEAT

Many Arkansas farmers will find it profitable this winter to sell some of their market hogs to themselves in the form of home cured meat, declares Turner Wright, farm agent in market ing of the Agricultural Extension Di- vision
 Meat made on the farm from home grown hogs which otherwise would have to be sold at current market price will be far cheaper than meat pur- chased at prevailing retail prices with money received from the sale of other crops grown on the farm," says MT. Wright. 'If meat needed for fam fly use is cured on the farm, it will go a long way in making money received from the sale of other crops available for the purchase of other necessities, and at the same time do much to re- duce the credit account at the grocery store during the next growing season.
 "There was a time when the art of home curing meat was known and practiced on every farm where weath-- CT donditions duing the fall and win ter months are favorable, but many farmers in late yeas seem to have lost the art or got out of practice.
 Perhaps some of the most import ant reasons why more farmers do not cure their meat for home use today are the work and trouble connected with the old-time 'hog-killing day on the average farm, the risk of loss from spoilage while curing and un- satisfactory experiences with strong or rancid meat due to a lack of ex- perience or knowledge of good cur ing methods. There is no need of making 'hog-killing day one of drud- .gery or worry. Good equipment and cooperation among the farmers of community will eliminate most of the difficulties.
 "The agricultural extension division has some good receipts for curing meat and will be glad to give informa- tion concerning good curing methods to any one who will write to the ex- tension division office in Little Rock fer them. A good supply of home cur ed meat, particularly of home cured hams, will be source of satisfaction and profit during the next few months
 Much work is being done in Arkan- sas by the county home demonstra- tion agents in meat canning and cur ing this year. They are always ready and anxious to aid anyone in canning and curing their own meat and have a list of available receips for home curing.
