OF the Government.
In support of this several defendants

gambling rooms or selling white mule
in Linton at prices ranging from 90
cents a drink TO S12 a quart. Mr..

Why tn. Belief in eroundhoo.

The annual interest in that non existent animal, the groundhog, and his purely mythical appearance on Feb. in search of his shadow is a tribute to- the cheerful tirelesshess of American humor in the perpetration of the same old joke. The probability is that in ancient Egypt there was some sort of marmot or campestral rodent which may in the Egyptian tongue have been called the groundhog, and which was impelled to an annual apN pearance at about this date by the rapid increase of warmth from the semi-tropical sun. We may imagine that the condition of the sky at the opening of the month of February suggested more rain or less rain to the Egyptian weather wiser; and as the prosperity of the year was bound up with the annual freshet 1t Is quite possible that the behavior of the Mi lotic marmot became by association weather Boston Transcript.

IS NOW A GREAT INDUSTRY
hsss the Growth and Canning es Pine applss Has Been Developed h
 Hawaiian Islands.

The growth of the Hawaiian pine apple industry Is one of the wonders of modern industry. It was started in 1906 in the form of one small can nery managed by son of Sanford B.. Dole, who was President of the Ha- waiian republic before the islands were annexed to the United States. A few hundred cases of fruit were all it could turn out, but the flavor of the Hawaiian "pine" quickly brought de- mand for greater production. Then the Hawaiian plaeers found that cer- tain land, which was located on hills 100 high to be used for the growing of sugar at a profit, was just right for pineapples. The industry commenced to grow by leaps and bounds and with in five years had reached a stage which attracted the attention of Swift, Ar mour, and the other big packing con cerns of the mainland. They entered the field, and now practically control It, and nearly all the canned pine apples used in the United States are new packed in Hawaii, where they are placed in cans within few hours after they are picked in the fields.

Why Coffee May Be Considered Both as . Blessing and Curse
 to Guatemala.

Guatemala, which has been econom- icaily and In military sense one of the most powerful of the five Central American states ever since 1t was the seat of the old Spanish viceroyal gov ernment for the entire region, is a country both blessed and cursed by coffee.
 Coffee is blessing to Guatemala in that t has brought much money into the country and has made the planta- tion-owning class exceedingly pros porous.
 Coffee, too, may be considered in a sense a curse to Guatemala because It's production dominates every other activity in the republic. and Is the in- direct reason therefore for failure to develop most of the country's other resources.
 Though the plateau country of the southwest apparently could be made to produce wheat, flour Is imported A number of other food products that could be produced are also brought In from outside.
 Cotton could be grown on large areas but only comparatively small amount is produced. The greater part of the cotton cloth and yarn needed is imported. The raising of cattle and sheep, the growing of almost all trop- lcal, semi-tropical, and temperate zone fruits, and mining, are all industries that could be developed most profit ably

WHY .
Stars Twinkle More lntsnsely
 on Clear Nights

Why the stars twinkle more intense ly on clear. cold, windy nights than at other times Is we'll explained by Dr. Norris Russell, professor of astronomy at Princeton university, In describing for the Scientific American Monthly the method of measuring the diameter of stars.
 "The astronomer peering through the telescope has to look through fifty turbulent miles of the earth's atmos- phere. Even under the best conditions the rays of light which enter his tele- scope have been more or less deviated in their courses by refraction in pass ing from one layer of air to another, and in consequence the diffraction pattern of disk and rings, which can be so clearly and beautifully shown in the laboratory, Osclllates, trembles and is more or less confused and dis tOrted. Under more ordinary and worse conditions of seeing the image Is moro disturbed and dances about, coming only occasionally to rest, and 1t is during these favorable intervals alone that close pairs of stars can be seen double.
 'On many nights, indeed, when the sky Is cloudless. but the air windy. and full of streaks of varying density and temperature (the airman's 'bumps) the stars twinkle furiously, and their teiescopic images are so blurred that accurate observation of any sort is impossible"

Local Paper Does Great Work.

"The Missouri home town paper
may really become the most impor-
tant single agency in the dissemina-
tion of new and improved methods
of agriculture" says F. B. Mumford,
Dean of the Missouri College of Agri-
culture. "More than one million
copies of the home town papers are
printed weekly in Missouri. Each is
sue is closely read by farmers and
those engaged in occupations closely
related to farming. The new dis
coveries made by the College of Agri-
culture are thus given immediate cir
culation aud carried directly to the
persons for whom the discoveries
have the graatest significance.
"The public spirited editors and
managers OF the local papers of Mis-
souri, are entitled to the highest COM
mendation for the service they have
rendered the state and nation in their
promotion of agricultural develop
ment"

Peoples Bank to Pay Dividend.

Bank, informs the Gazette that his
reports which he filed with the State
Banking Department we're approved
without question, and upon his
presentation of same to Hon. Peter
I'll. Huck, Judge Of the st. Francois
Circuit Court, the Court approved the
same and ordered the payment of a
dividend to all the depositors, whose
claims we're filed according ito law.
The dividend amounts to S3 per cent.
This 50 per cent to be paid repre-
sents the greater part Of the assets
that have been converted into cash,
and other payment will be made as
fast as the money is collected in.
Mr.. Longgrear is Of the opinion that
eventually all depositors will be paid
in full, as the assets are sufficient to
warrant this, and it is only question
of time until they can be converted
into cash.

had been heard. 1T required some
time for the preparation of instruc-
tions, and it was nearly 2 o'clock Fri
dap afternoon when Prosecuting At
torney Raney opened the argument
for the state. At 1920 Saturday
morning the jury announced ready to
report.
The court room was filled with peo-
pie during the trial, and the room
was literally jammed with interested
spectators while the argument of at
torneys was in progress. The at
torneys for the state asked for the
extreme penalty, while counsel for
the defense plead for acquittal on the
grounds of self defense. There wac
nothing new of startling nature
brought out at the trial. The state
proved that Turner was serving as q
legally appointed deputy constable OF
Benton township at the time he was
shot. Witnesses for the defense
testified that Turner made move
ment with his right hand as if to draw
pistol from his shirt bosom when
the shooting began. Witnesses for
the state told substantially the same
story of the shooting that they testi-
fed to before the coroner's jury at
Piedmont the day following the
tragedy.

Not Too Late For Lime.

Limestone applied as top dressing
on wheat during late fall or early
winter can usually be expected to
give satisfactory results If clover is
seeded in the wheat the following
spring. This timely assurance comes
from P. F. Schowengerdt of the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. The
limestone in this case would not be
of much benefit to the wheat crop
but might mean the difference be-
tween a good stand Of clover and
none at all. Farmers who were un-
able to secure limestone in time to
apply prior to seeding their wheat
this fall should not give up the idea of
lining this year but should therefore
apply the lime whenever it can be
procured.
Where limestone is to be applied as
top dressing on growing wheat it is,
of course, impossible to work it into
the soil. Consequently it is very i'm
portant that only a high grade, finely
ground material be used and that an
amount slightly in excess of the usual
requirement be applied.
Some farmers in Missouri who
spread limestone on their wheat last
winter obtained splendid results in
the clover crop that grew in the
wheat stubble this summer. Where
there is difficulty in getting a stand
of clover and lime could not be ap-
piled before seeding wheat this fall, il
will be very much worth while to try
top dressing the wheat with good
application of high grade limestone.

Russia and North Dakota.

tSt. Louis PoSt-DlSpatch.)
The speech of Premier Lenine ao-
mitting the failure of communism is
reported by the Rosta agency, a
bolshevik Institution. 1t, therefore,
may be accepted as official. The
Soviet Government can hardly have
joined in 'propaganda" against itself.
The explanation, moreover, omits
the usual reasons with which the
Lenine communicates used to account
for unfulfilled promises and defeated
hopes, such as the "blockade'' and
the military invasions of Russia "fin-
anced by the capitalistic Govern
ments." Lenine now confesses that
tour economic policies did not create
that raising of productive powers
which was recognized in the party
program as fundamental and urgent" "
/. Meanwhile the failure of another
more or less communicate undertak-
ing is recorded The formulae of
North Dakota's Nom Partisan Leagu-
ers seem to have been as Intellectual
as the direct action of boshevism.
North Dakota, to be sure, never suf-
fered from blockade and never had
to fight off the mercenary troops OF
the capitalistic system, but the Town
ley dream is still below the horizon.
The latest expression of public dis
illusionment in that State is an injunc-
ton procured by taxpayers prevent
ing the State e-controlled Bank of
North Dakota from receiving any
more deposits. 1t is alleged that the
bank is insolvent. With the various
other State owned and operated en-
terprises in actual or prospective
collapse, North Dakota citizens, evil
IDENTIFY, are trying to get from under
as soon as they can.
The Lenines and Townleys appear
periodically with their panaceas, but
every such adventure confirms the
verify that there is only one way to
business success-the prosic way blaz-
ed out by hard work and thrift.
