MILES

Columbus, Ohio oct. S.-Expen-
diture Of SIS for lead pipe and the
labor OF laying it has lightened the
lot OF a certain Lawrence County
farm woman, 65 years old. In the
so years she had lived on this farm,
say rural engineers of the Ohio State
University, this woman walked s.
10 miles and carried over 1000
tons OF water.
These facts are among the most
striking of convenience survey
just concluded by state extension
workers in Lawrence and in other
river counties. At the farm under
discussion they found well lao
feet from the house and six feet be-
low it. For a full half century this
woman had been making, she said
an average Of six trips day, some
times Juggling a bucket OF water
weighing 80 pounds and sometimes
two.
At each such farm the surveyors
took levels and made estimates OIL
the cost of installing running water
In this case all that was necessary
was to lay the pipe, and to move thu
old pump up from the well to with

LANDSLIDE IL SEEN FOR
DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN
NOVEMBER ELECTION

The Republicans OF Greensboro
awoke Wednesday morning. dazed
from the smashing victory of the
Democrats in the registration in
Greensboro on Tuesday The lead
of loss votes given the Democrats
in the registration has taken the last
breeze from the Republican sails.
The G. o. p. leaders had sent the
word to the rural districts that they
would sweep Greensboro. Instead of
sweeping Greensboro" the Repub-
licans were showed under by the
greatest plurality ever given the
Democrats. The Republicans showed
a loss of more than 700 vote over
last year.
Not only did the Republicans
show reversaIs in Greensboro, but
from practically every city in Ken
lucky where registration was held
on Tuesday Republican losses were
recorded. Veteran politicians say
there is no question but what there
will be a Democratic landslide all
over Kentucky in November.
Damned by Records
The record of the Harding ad-
ministration, in addition to the rec
ord made by Governor Morrow, has
turned thousands of Republicans in
/ Kentucky to the Democratic ticket
and has served to unite every faction
in the Democratic party. The un.
employment situation, the killing OF
the soldier bonus. at the demand OF
President Harding and the broker
promises by the Morrow administers
ton. have made Republican chances
of success hopeless,
/ 1t is also pointed out that the
tickets named by the Democrats il
the county and districts are onei
that appeal to the great mass of mer
and women voters. -Owensbort

He is expected to make a plea for prompt relief to the nations agricultural interests and the list of. recommendations may touch many other subjects such as the railway situation, the merchant marine, and immigration. One recommendation relative to construction measures within the government machine he is exepcted to suggest is the crea- tion of a gerenal commission to dis pose of many kinds of property ac- quired by government agencies dur ing the war Whether the message will touch on foreign relations, is a matter of speculation but of govern ment and of inductrial rehabilita- tion at home.

RAMON VERDICT WAS
 PREMEDITATED

Ardmore, Okla, March 23.-Clara Smith Hamon, acquitted last week on charge of murdering Jake L. Hamon, Republican natinal commit teeman and reputed millionaire oil man, spent today resting from the eight days i'll court, and reading a hundred letters and telegrams form sympathizers. She had two confer ences with attorneys, who later said nothing had been arrived at regard ing the possibility of a suit against the Hammon Estaet, while Clara had before her a number of high salaried offers, she was not con- sidering their acceptance.
 She said herself that she was more interested in making a new start in life and establishing herself with respect to the people of Ardmore, where she will remain for the pres ent. In few days she said she will probably go to Fl Paso, Texas, where her father is very i'll, and later go to Caifonia where married sister lives.
 At the office of the county at torney of Carter county late today it was said there was no intention to prosecute Clara on the statutory charge filed against her and Ham, on, with whom she lived for ten years at the hotel where she shot him.
 It also was said at the county at torney's office that information against Frank Ketch,- formerly Ha- mn's business manager, now admin istrator of his estate, charging him with being. an accessory after the fact of Hamon's murder, would prob ably remain in the pigeon hole, never to be served. Ketch testified that he gave Clara Hamon S500O and told her to leave Ardmore and re- main away.
 At the county building today the district clerk was busy paying the expense of the Hamon trial. He said that the cost would probably run be- tween thirty four and thirty five thousand dollars.
 Jurors who rendered the verdict for acquittal yesteday reiterated that only one ballot was taken and that it was confirmed by a rising vote. w. A. "Jolly of Ardmore, a member of the jury, said that when the jury retired he said to those around him by way of feeling out sentiment, Well men, I favor a first degree murder verdict" Then" he con- tinued, lone of the others replied: ''I favor letting her go and doing it quickly" and I added so do l.

COWBOYS TO GET
 UNIFORM WAGES

A uniform salary for cowboys will henceforth be the rule among Ariz- onaona cattle outfits, according to decision made by the Arizona Cattle growers Association, at its recent conference in Phoenix.
 Instead of wages varying from $40 month to as high as S6O, there win henceforth be a uniform rate of S45 month on all ranches. A similar agreement to pay S45 a month to sheep herders was reached by the Arizona sheepmen recently.
 The new wage scale of S45 month was adopted on account of difficul- ties which the cattle growers are facing at this time.
 Due to the fact that there is practically no market for cattle at present, the cattle grower finds him self in a poor condition to pay good wages.
 This of course, is small consolation for the cowboy, who finds that in comparlsn With the wages or oonnes- tic servants in the cities his S45 a month is a very slender stipend.
 With servants pay in Los Angeles and other coast cities ranging from $65 for average help to over S1O0 month for JJapanese help, the Ariz- ona cowboy naturally feels that the omance of his calling vii have to 1e given very high vauation in order so make up for the uniform wage of s45.
 It is reported that an immediate result of the announcement of the new wage scale for cowboys has been marked increase in the mum Der of letters received each morning by Tom Mix from buckaroos aching to break into the movie game

COUNTY CENSUS NOT AS
 EXPECTED

The following figures are taken from the government census. bulle- tin just issued for the month of March. The totals will no doubt be a little disappointing to all of the towns of the county, after an un- bridled license for several years, in making boasting claims as to their population. The principal objection to the federal census is it's aptitude to squeeze the water out of the in- enthusiastic communities.

LIVESTOCK REPORT-K.C.
Livestock Prices Higher Receipts Fairly Liberal

Moderate receipts today overcome come of the adverse conditions in the market and prices ruled higher, under a fairly active demand. Be cause of the probable strike among packing house employees, expected by the middle of the next week, there was some hesitancy among buyers early but as trade advanced demand assumed fairly large proportions, Cattle were quoted strong to 25 cents hegher, hogs up to 40 and 70 cents, and lambs 25 higher.
 TODAY'S RECEIPTS
 Receipts today were $500 cattle, 5000 hogs, and $500 sheep, compared with the 14,OOO cattle, 15,5OO hogs, and 12,OOO sheep a week ago, and 13,9OO cattle, 21,5OO hogs and 3,45O sheep year ago.

Cows were mostly 15 cents higher and heifers mostly 25 cents up. Veal calves were very steady. If striming does not mater ialize the market will rule sharply higher late in the week as commits sion men at all markets have advised against shipping fat cattle that will arrive later than Wednesday.
 StOckers and Feeders

 Shep and Lambs
 Lamb prices were 25 cents higher, and sheep were steady. The best lambe here were 85 pound grades, wet fleece that brought S9.5O to $9.70. Choice dry lambs would have brought S9.85. Ewes are quoted at $5.25 to $500. Yearlings S7.5O to S8.25, and wethers $500 to S6.5O.
