bWYERS DEFEND
 GOVERNOR SMALL
Judge To Render Decision Upon Whether Official
 Must Face Trial
Bv Associated Press

Waukegan, H., December 7.-Gov- ernor small and Vernon Curtis, Grant Park. H.. banker. will not know until tae week after Christmas whether they must face trial on charges of arnbezz!ement of state funds, con spiracy and operating a confidence game
 Judge Claire c. Edwards told law vers Tor the state and defense today that f they would complete their arguments before Christmas he would render his decision in the week pre- ceding New Years.
 In the event their indictments, or any part of them, should be upheld, the court has indicated that he will oe ready to proceed with the trial January 3, when a regular jury panel " h report.
 Attorneys for the governor will complete their arguments on the mo- lions 70 quash the indictments tomor- row night. The state. which has ask for four or five days to answer, viii begin Tuesday of next week The defense will then take probably two days for rebuttal. This will bring the arguments up to few days be- fore Christmas.
 c. C. Leeforge of Decatur, and Alexander F. Beaubein of Wauke gan, attacked the conspiracy and embez clement indictments, today as insuf ficient, vague and uncertain and cited long list of court decisions in sup port of their contention.
 The attack today centered on the claim that the indictments place the state of Illinois in the position of par tieipating in an alleged illegal trans action and that there is no claim in them that Governor Small, as state treasurer, violated any law or with drew money from the state treasury In violation of the statues regulating such withdrawals
 MT Leeforge declared the charge that the state had been defrauded and money obtained from the treasury by false pretenses would not stand be- cause the treasurer could not make false representations to himself to obtain money illegally from himself.

Lexington, Va, Feb. 23.-In the splendid success scored by the orig inal musical comedy, Let's Dance" :" presented in Virginia and West Vir- ginia cities by the Troubadours of Washington and Lee University, a combined musical and dramatic or ganization, no little credit is due O. w.

 The Troubadours are everywhere receiving favorable criticism for the charm and originality of their com edy and the professional manner in which they presented the play on the stage They have hopes of talk ing a longer road trip, tentative route extending through Lexington, Louisville, Memphis and Knoxville.

Good Returns From
 Poultry Shipment

That the farmers of Lee county are taking an interest in other crops than cotton is shown by the fact that the county agents have made three shipments of live poul- try from the county within the past two weeks. The chickens shipped were hens that had been culled as non-layers and could not be sold on the local market at all, but by shipping to Memphis they netted their owners from $1.00 to S1.43 per head
 Parties who have chickens to sell should communicate with MT. Whit aker or Miss Hudson and they will be glad to explain when, why and how to ship. Now that the laying season is here any hen that does not do her part should be gotten out of the flock. This is no time for loafers in the poultry yard or any where else.
 The cooperative shipment of les pedeza seed bought by the county agent at a saving of $1.75 per bush el over present market prices is ex- pected in every day now. Twenty farmers bought in this order, an av craze of ten bushels each. The county agent is now booking orders for cooperative purchase of cow peas both Whips and Clays. Any one interested in buying peas should see him at once. They can be bought now for about $2.00 and frieght, and are sure to go higher of the general rule is adhered to this year.
 Now is an excellent time to prune and spray all fruit trees. All old dead limbs should be pruned out and the remaining part sprayed with Lime Sulphur solution. This solu- tion can be obtained here in town, ready made, or the county agent will be glad to give instructions for making it at home. The bought material is so cheap that there is no excuse in not using it. If you have fruit trees call on the county agent and he will be glad to give you all information available. In few days the trees will begin to bud out and then it will be too late to give the dormant spray.
