PLANS OF STATE ARE
 CHANGED BY ACTION

Austin, Tex, November 2.-The ac- tion of the Dallas court of civil ap- neals in everything the motion for re- hearing in the Corwicana injunction suit materially changed the plans of the state for further action in the litigation, it was indicated by state officials tonight. Steps that had been planned have apparently been aban- doned, and the state officials as- sumed a watchful waiting policy.
 An opinion from the attorney gem eral advising county election officials and Secretary of State Staples as to the status of the Mayfield litiga- tion had been expected this afternoon but it was stated tonight probably the opinion would not be rendered. It was understood the opinion would advise that the matter of printing MT. MayfieldS name on the election ballots rested with the various elec- tion boards.
 Secretary of State Staples this aft ernoon stopped answering inquiries from county officials on what course to follow. and said he would not ad- wise further until tomorrow.
 It was indicated that further action by Mayfield or -Mayfield attor- neys is expected immediately and that it would be useless to advise the county officials at the present time.
 It was stated by members of the attorney generals department { that with the disposal of the Corsfcana litigation by the Dallas court, the situation now Is open, and that if no | further action is forthcoming, elec- ton officers will be at liberay to pro- ceed with preparation of the election ballots,

The supreme court in an opinion written by Justice Thomas Thursday affirmed the sentence of the lower court.
 Anderson and an alleged confeder- ate were jointly indieSed. Anderson sought change of venue on the contention that he could not obtain fair trial in Jefferson county at the time. He presented to the court newspaper clippings which he insist ed she wed that there was popular clamor against violations of the law and the series of crimes and that the public mind was prejudiced against all persons who came before the courts for trial.
 Pleads Insanity
 The lower court denied the peti- tion for change of venue. Ander- 'oii lIel Plcaueu H1t Suliey pN ied- son of insanity insisting that he was not responsible for any offenses he may have committed. Experts were put on the stand to testify that they did not believe he was mentally cap able of distinguishing between right and wrong when the crime was com mitted.
 The jury disregarded this evidence and rendered a verdict imposing a life sentence McEachern was struck n the head during the fight with Anderson according to the testimony but was not dangerously injured.

manded from no over vocation on earth. Instead of farming being dump-neap for the fool of the family" we are be- ginning to appreciate that its successful pursuit requires all the mental acuteness of the genius of the family-and then some!
 Is it any wonder that we are discour- aged? Especially we of the older gene ration, whose habits are fixed and whose opportunities for self-training are limit ed?
 Yet the ideal, while "almost hopeless" l" is not entirely so. It would. indeed. take superman to attain all the knowledge which President Harding lists. and which we farmers, even the plainest of us know in our hearts would be desirable. F'ortu- nately, the impossible is not required of us
 When Emerson whimsicaIIy. bade the college student mitch. his wagon to a star" he did not mean 1t literally. He
 simply meant by a striking figure of speech, to enforce the idea that, the { higher one aims, the higher the mark he's likely to hit. The man who aims at a star may never bring. down a wild
 goose for dinner-but he's measurably
 more likely to, than if he aims his blum | derbuss at a mudpuddle in the ditch. No one in this imperfect world is ever ideally successful. But that's no reason why we shouldn't all try to be more sue cessfuI in our chosen lines of effort than we heretofore have been or now are. We
 may never get to the top of any Mt. Ev- crest but, if we work up and not down, we may perhans attain the summit of some foot-hilI above the mosquito line And that's a camping-ground not to be sneered at.

said, Sounds good, but doesn't mean anything And some have read 1t and said nothing but smiled little contempt uously. And some have doubtless started to read 1t and been so bored that they've vawned in the very middle >of my most eloquent sentence, and gone off to bed. But when the president of the United States says 1t, what then? Are you go- ing to sit up and take notice?
 John Farmer, for one, was rather proud to read 1t. He. of course. had no idea that President Harding ever heard l of him Or knows anything about what he l has written. That makes John all tue prouder. For it makes his contention even stranger. when so wise a student i of national affairs as President Harding. approaching the subject from different side and with a different purpose in view unbiased by what any other stu dent has said, confirms Johns statements so fully and emphatically.
 Not being himself a practical farmer, it was not to be expected that MT. Hard- ing should cover all the fields which the working farmer must traverse if he lwould attain complete success. But he l includes a goodly number. He sees and l says that the successful farmer of today and the future must be an engineer. an aIl-round mechanic. 8 biologist, a botan- ist. chemist, a forester. an organi7nr and a manager. He might have added various other requirements. Ee might have included geology, entomology. or anthology. bacteriology and meteoroloey among the requirements in the farm cur riculum He might have added sales manshD and financial astuteness and le- gal acumen.
 He might indeed. have included in his list another capacity which we working farmers know is the most necessary of all; 1. e., the ability to see through a millstone which has no hole in 1t. Or, in other words, the ability to foresee in the spring what crons are going to be most sala'b1e the coming fall.
 But when President Harding has back ed us up as Loyalty and heartily as he has done, we won't quibble about these matters.
 There is just one thing for us all to bear in mind however President Hard ing isn't describing or trying to describe what the mass Of farmers actually are He is attempting to show what they ing to prove successful. That's some what different matter.
 Undou5tedly he knows as you and l know, that we don't, as a bunch. come anywhere near the mark he chaks up Being a polite and canny leader he re, frains from saying what John Farmer as a blunt and dirty-booted working far
 ner can and does say, 50 much the worse for themi'
 I say it, not so much in accusation ol rebuke, as in extenuation and excuse For the most of us the ideal is an aInost hopeless one. And that is the pity of it
 We are coming to see that real success in our life-work ,inrplies a breadth and cathoIicity of knowledge such as Is de-

fWritten Specially For The Buleltin.)
 It isn't every day that a simple farm CT up on the back road gets an indorse- ment from "he president of the United States. When he does he is not to be blamed for sticking it in his cap, is he?
 You will remember that last winter a national conference on agriculture was aeld at Washington, to discuss the gen. eral farming situation. President Hard ing opened it with a formal address Tn the course of that address he dwelt at rather unusual length on the manifold 1 duties and responsibilities of the farmer. He also gave a suggestion of some of the | things a successful farmer needs to know and be. Perhaps some Of you read 1t, at ! the time-and have forgotten it. Per haps some didn't read it.
 1 But it was worth reading-was worth reading then, and is worth reading now. | President Harding said:
 There mast be a new conception of l the farmers place in our social and economic scheme. The time is long past l when we may think of farming as an oc- cupation fitting for the man who is not 1 equipped for or has somehow failed at some other line Of endeavor. The sue. cessfuI farmer of today, far from being an untrained la,borer working every day and every hour that sun and weather permit is required to be the most ex- pert and particularly the most versatile Of artisans, executives and business men l He must be a good deal of an engineer to I deal with problems of drainage. road building and the like. He requires the l practical knowledge of an ali round me- ehanic to handle his machinery and get Test results from It. The problems of stock raising and breeding demand un- derstanding of biology. while those of plant raising and breeding call for a l wide, practical knowledge of botany and plant pathology.
 'In handling his soils for best results in using fertilizers. determining rotations and in selecting and using feeds fol stock, he has need for a working 6nowl- edge of chemistry. As our timber supply is reduced, his service in conserving and
 expandine the timber resources of tht farm will be Increasingly important. nee lessitatine an intimacy with forestry an6 lforestation. There is no business in whicE the executive talents of tho skilled or iEanizer and manager are more absolute ly- necessary than in successful farninT
 and this applies alike to the producing
 the buying, and the selling phases ot
 farming Along with all this the farmer must have untfring energy and 8 req
 love and enthusiasm for his splendid pro
 fession. For such I choose to call thf
 vocation of the farner-t1e most usefu
 and. it ought to be made. one of the mos tsttractive among all lines of human ef-
