Farmers Grain Slides in
Market Through Pipe Line
Great Saving From House Halt a
Mile Upon Plateau.

James Keane, living near ROCK IS
land, Mo-, slides his grain into market
through galvanized iron pipe. The
pipe IS $500 feet long and runs from
Keane's farm, on a plateau, to the
town, half mile below, Wheat IS
poured into a hopper at the top and
fows out at the bottom at the rate OF
a sack a minute, as fast as it can be
handled.
His former method OF hauling wheat
18 miles over poor roads lost the
rancher from IS to 20 cents a bushel
to market, but the present system
makes it possible at less than two cents
a bushel. His 5000 acres of wheat
land Welded him $4,000 bushels OF
rain last summer.
The iron pipe has other uses, also.
Mrs. Keane recently received a tele-
phone message from her daughter N \
town that she needed 81. She poured
10 quarters into the hopper a hall
mile up on the plateau and they, soon
rolled into her daughters hands.

KILLED BY GRIEF
SHOCKED WHEN SHE DISCOV-
Erred HUSBAND WAS BANK
ROBBER. VERY ROMANTIC.

Mrs. Gladys Beebe recently died in
San Francisco, Cal, from nervous
shock after learning that her husband
of few days was the leader of a band
of robbers. Her father, John Antrim,

their daughter to the range rider and
moved north again, taking her with
them.
Moser went to San Francisco, then
sent his sweetheart money to pay her
transportation to that city SO they
could be married She started on the
journey but, while en- route for San
Francisco, met man on the train Of
whom she became enamored. The
rapid-fre love-making resulted i'll the
jilting of her cowboy lover and her
marriage to the man whom she met
on the train, who married her under
the name of Beebe.
Within a few days it developed that
her husband was leader of band Of
bank robbers, and he was arrested,
sentenced, and sent to serve a peniten~
tiary term. The girls mother hasten
ed to San Francisco and found her
daughter dying, her death being at
tributed to grief over her shattered
romance.

BERRIEN SHERIFF
Between TWO FIRES
TWO JUDGES PASS CONFLICT
ING ORDERS; DOESN'T KNOW
WHICH ONE TO OBEY.

That there is a defect in the Georgia
cattle dipping law because it fails to
specify the manner in which an owner
shall be served with notice to have his
cattle dipped was alleged in the hear
ing of case from Berrien county be-
fore Judge Eve, of the Triton circuit,
yesterday. Also, it came out that Sher-
iff J. B. Nix, of Berrien county, was
between two fires, so to speak, because
of conflicting orders from the judges
of the Southern and. Triton circuits.
The case was the more or less Cele-
brated one of the state VS., S. F. Guth-
RE, charged by the dipping Inspector
of Berrien county with refusal to have
his cattle dipped Sheriff Nix had seiz-
ed several hundred head of Guthrie's
cattle under a quarantine distress war
rant sworn out by the Inspector, al
leging that Guthrie had refused to dip
same. Judge Dickerson, of the Alapa
ha circuit, being disqualified, referred
the matter to Judge Eve.
At the hearing Guthrie contended
that he had received no notice, as re-
CURED by law, of the days on which
the dipping must be done and denied
any refusal to dip his cattle, but con-
tended that he should not be made to
pay the cost of feeding and caring for
them after the seizure.
Judge Eve held that Guthrie was
entitled to a hearing before jury on
the question of whether he had actual
ly received notice to dip, and direct
ed the sheriff to turn the cattle over
to him upon his making bond for ST.
900.
Previous to coming before Judge
Eve attorneys in the case had argued
the matter before Judge Thomas in
Valdosta, and Judge Thomas directed
the sheriff to sell the cattle to pay the
costs.
Judge Eve did not know that the
matter had been argued before Judge
Thomas, and Judge Thomas did not
know that the case had been referred
to Judge Eve.
The contrary orders had the sheriff
where he was liable to go to Jail for
contempt of court if he sold the cattle
with the same situation confronting
him if he did not sell them. The final
order by Judge Eve should release
him from his predicament, it was stat
ed-Pearson Tribune.

LIBEL IN REPORT OF
NOBLEMAN'S DEATH
EVERYTHING PRINTED Elk
CEPT REPORT OF DEATH WAS
TRUE, PAPER CONTENDS.

LONDON.-Lord Alfred Douglas,
friend of the late Oscar Wilde and son
OF the eighth marquis of Queensber.-
nv. who has brought libel SUIT
against the Evening News on the basis
of an obituary connected with false
report of his death, sat in court at tho;
onening of the case and participated
in the discussion of whether or not he
was moral degenerate. .
Women have been excluded from
the jury because of the character 81
the case. =, H.
exception OF the report OF the lord S
death all statements made by the
News were true. The obituary lament
ed Douglas, saying that he was from
the best society and showed brilllan.ce3
las a poet, but lacked certain essential
attributes. 1t declared:
CHARITY, which is most hitting when
speaking of the newly dead, urges that
much should be forgiven this poor
man, who perhaps will be remembered
only because of the quarrels and scan
da1S in which he was involved. 1t was
GREAT to be born a Douglas, but the
family inheritance had gifts from the
evil fairies as we'll as from the good
ones" o;d .ho+
The obituary, continuing, SAID that
marked signs of degeneracy had been
noted in the house OF Douglas, ana
reca1Ied Lord Alfred's alleged relation
with the noted writer, Wilde. -,
Counsel for the plaintiff admitted
that Lord Alfred chad been misguided
enough to become the constant com
oanion of Wilde" but maintained that
lin England a man is allowed i to re re-
nrnt the follies of his youth: The
lawyers pointed out that Douglas was wa
Ioniy "a years old at Wilde: death ana
had since changed his notions.

PEACE ACCORD GROWING
AMONG WORLD POWERS
BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR EAR
LY ACTION ON NAVAL RE-
DUCTION AND CHINA.
ARE REACHING AGREEMENTS
Delegates to Washington Conference
Accept General Line on Which to
Work Out Problems of Disarma-
ment and the Far East.

Work Out Problems or DlSarma-
ment and the Far East.
Progress, slower perhaps than its
well wshers had hoped for but much
more rapid than the diplomats expect
! ed, continues to mark the sessions OF
the international conference for the
limitation of ornaments and the prob
lens of the Far East, sitting at Wash
ington at the invitation of President
Harding. The conference, on which
the eyes of the entire world are fas~
tened, has been in session but two
weeks, but the results to be attained
are already becoming apparent In the
first place, huge navies are almost GER
tain to be thing of the past. Then,
too there is going to be a cut in stand
ing armies, but it may be a matter OF
"a few years yet before this becomes
effective Last and perhaps most troub-
'lesome, the puzzling questions of the
Pacific and the Far East promise a
solution which, if not exactly ideal,
will have the sanction of all nations
concerned something which has not
obtained for a generation.
Agree on General Principles.
On the general principles Of the two
big problems of the conference, reduc-
ton of naval ornaments and a new
deal in the Far East the representa-
tives of the nine nations gathered at
the conference arr agreed. The manner
in applying these principles and the
innumerable details accompanying
such application remain to be worked
out, but the big world peace meet is
developing in the utmost harmony,
Differences of opinion exist on minor
matters between representatives of the
powers, but nothing has developed
which would tend to warrant the be-
lief that the conference will not &C
complish by far the greater part of the
work it set out to do.

CORN FUEL ORDERED
BY AN IOWA BOARD
AUDITOR IS INSTRUCTED TO
BUY CORN FOR HEATING.
ATTACK PROPAGANDISTS.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa-Ear corn
will be burned this winter in the Po-
cahontas county, Ia, court house, the
county home and the infirmary for
the insane as a result of the adop-
ton of mandatory resolutions by the
Pocahontas county board of supervis-
ors to that effect.
The county auditor has been in
structed to purchase a sufficient
amount of the grain to heat the three
institutions.
The preamble to the mandatory res
olution reviews in a satirical vein the
various factors assumed to be respon-
sible for the necessity of employing
food for fuel. Propaganda writer's OF
commercial bodies and of agricultural
papers and colleges are accused OF hav-
ing taught the public to believe that
"all the farmer has to do is to press
the button and plenty of hogs and cat
tie will be forthcoming to consume
the surplus corn" the resolution says.
PropagandiSts also are accused III
the preamble of causing the people to
believe that some of the live stock will
starve if any of the surplus grain crop
should be burned as fuel. 1t is asserted
the only thing the farmer is trying to
do is to reduce the extraordinary sur
plus of farm products where it will
bring at least one-half of the cost OF
production.
Federal reserve banks are made the
subject of Whereas" They are ac-
cused of having half of the country's
currency locked in their vaults and Of
doubling the value Of the remaining
currency and of more than trebling
the debts of the farmer as measured by
the price of his farm products.
