WOMAN JUDGE,

Miss Florence Allen, who was re-
Gently elected member of the Su-
prcme Court of Ohio, was not a
candidate on party ticket. Her
name was placed on the ballot by pc
tition and she ran independent but
received enough votes to be elected.
1t is said that she is 4 Democrat but
that fact had nothing to do with her
election. 1t will be a happy day
when all Judicial elections are taken
out of politics and none but the best
elected to those offices.

NUMBER 23
JUDGE WOODS DECISION UPHELD.

! The Supreme Court last week I'D
hcld Circuit Judge J. VI. Woods, of
Jefferson county in his decision to
grant second change of venue for
the trial Of C.. Frak Keeney, charged
with being accessory to murder of
GeOr8c MunSey i'm Logan county
last year. In an oral review of the
reasons which actuated the court
Judge George Poilcnbargcr. it's pres
idcnt, declared the sole purpose of
the common law provisions as to
change OF venue was to assure a fair
trial. and that the West Virginia
constitution and statute on the sub
Ject were merely 4 repetition of the
common law principle. Declaring it
was hard to find much aid in the
decisions in other States which
were cited in arguing the Keeney
case, Judge Poifenbargcr, said the
courts seemed to have lost sight of
the fact that the statutes they were
interpreting were governed by the
common law in such case, and
that the statutes fell under the rule
Of liberal construction.
Arguments in the case against G..
Frank Keeney, United Mine Work
er official were resumed on Tues
day the 21st, at Charles Town. as a
consequence of the decision of the
State Supreme Court, holding that
it is proper to grant Kceney's plea
for change of venue.
The matter OF selecting county
came UP Tuesday of this week and
the Attorneys could not agree and
Judge Woods designated his inten-
tion OF selecting a county.
Last week Kccncy was elected
President of the West Virginia
branch Of the Federation of Labor.

LET YOUR MONEY
WORK FOR CO-OPERATIOr

The following quotation from q tu
page display advertisement in the of
ficial organ of the Locomotive Engin
GERS is worthy of the most thoughtfu'
consideration by the readers Of the Col
onist, and perhaps it may suggest to
them that the depository of Llano Col
ony is for principled co-operator the
most logical place in which to- place
his money. The following facts cited
should prove it to you:
The banks are run with the workers
money?
Do you know that:
The depositors furnish $l2 for every
dollar that the bankers put into their
businessp
Even the smallest country banks are
connected with the big city banks ano
send money to them for investment and
"on call"2
The big bankers, using the workers
money, have secured control of the rail-
roads, coal mines, textile mills, and al
most every basic industry in the coun-
try?
Twelve New York banks bind togeth-
er g railroads, constituting four-fifths
of the nations transportation system
as well as y railroad equipment COM
panies.
Eleven banks are the real power be-
hind the nationwide open shop cam.
paign to beat down wages and destroy
the labor unions.
Every dollar of your money that you
deposit with the banks in your town
connected with the big banks goes tc
strengthen them in their fight against
labor.
Don't scab with your dollars.
Deposit them in your own bank.
Remember:
Banking credit controls every indus
try in the nation. !.

Labor can write it if it will mobilize
its savings in its own banks.

The Mosquito Trust is the latest

funny sketch in one Of the New York

the mosquitoes in the country, buy a
swamp somewhere. and then collect
taxes of ten cents day for each in
habitant or the mosquitoes will be
f"sicked' on them. The prospectors
feel sure that every one would pay the
ten cents. The scheme is easy for him
because he is acquainted with every
mosquito in the land, and every time
he visits town where there is swamp
all the mosquitoes come down to bit
him goodbye.

THE SHAME OF NEW YORK

New York.-Out of 1888 individual
working women employed in New York
stores. offices and factories, 81 percent
pay from one-quarter to one-halt or
their earnings for room rent. Thirty
eight percent pay over half, and only
10 percent pay what is regarded as a
reasonable amount-less than quar-
tier Of their wages. These facts have
been determined after months of invest
igation and the compilation Of nearly
10000 data cards by the bureau OF So
ciaI hygiene.
The average working girl, the bu-
reau found, is forced to spend $40 out
of weekly wage Of $l9 for room rent,
The women workers in store, office and
factory, the investigation disclosed, me-
stead Of paying % percent, the amount
called fair by the bureau Of municipal
research, pay on an average As per-
cent Of their earnings for rooms IN
which to live.
While one department store turned
over its records freely to the investiga-
tors, most establishments employing
large numbers of women refused to dis
tribute the question blanks 10 their
workers. Only l06 out Of more than
300 concerns approached would assist
in any way in. collecting the facts on
which the report is based.

AGRICULTURE MISCELLANY

A promiscuous discussion took place |
at the agricultural meeting at Llano i
Colony on Friday night, June 3d. Con-
rade George D. Coleman discoursed on
the subject of fertilizer and the grow
ing Of vetchs as winter crop as a
means Of increasing the humus COM
tent in the. soil, as well as adding
the nitrogen gathered BY this legume in |
its growth.
Water constitutes a large per cent
of all plant tissue, and this wafer as
we'll as the mineral elements needed
for plant growth are obtained from the |
soil in the shape Of SOIL SOLUTION.
The minerals Of which the soil is COM
posed and which are required in the
process Of plant growth are all more OF
less soluble in water. This is readily
shown by the fact that all water in con
tact with the soil--th water from
streams. springs and wells contains
dissolved mineral matter.Wc find
springs, the water of which is impreg-
mated with sulphur. or iron or salt.
Most wells give us hard water wa
ter in which is dissolved various aka
lime substances, which are deposited on
the interior Of pots and kettles. Even
silica (sand) is soluble. The hardest
granite, even glass. when crushed will
dissolve in water AS the solubility OF
substance depends upon the amount
of the surface exposed to the action OF
water it follows that the finer the tex
ture Of the soil, and the better the
filth, the more readily will the solvent
act, and within certain limits, the stron-
ger will the soil solution be. AS the
soil solution is the source from which
the plant gets both food and drink, its
control, therefore, means the control to
very large extent of the growth of the
plant and the yield Of the crop.
Comrade Coleman saidithat the large
deposit of humus found near the Ford
ranch must be drained for the elimin-
alton Of its excess moisture and requires
lime to fit it as rapidly as possible Tor
plant food.
The subject of Strengthening out the
course of the creek running thro our
bottom land was also threshed out. It
Twill give the water clear passage way
and prevent damage from flooding that
now happens during prolonged and
heavy downpours of rain.
Rat determination also was talked
lover. Comrade Lee L. Rhodes, who
was present. said that the exhaust of
an automobile turned thro hose into
1.-The runs Of rats would kill every one
of them. Rodents and vermin of every
description not only consume seeds and
large quantity Of foodstuffs but they
are also disease carriers. and should
be exterminated both in the interest OF
economy and health.
On Friday night, July 7, a special
ist from the Louisiana State University
will make demonstration in the man
facture of cheese, which in the course
of time may become valuable indus
