Somewhere the sun is shining.
The LescOrd Communication

Public sentiment will support Gov.
Hardness in his action in committing the
sentence of William Lescord from cleo
trOcution to life Imprisonment, the man
having been convicted of murder in the
first degree in killing George Race, an
elderly man of Gassetts. The crime was
particularly brutal but in view of the
fact that Lescord's accomplice, William
Gibson. was sentenced to life imprison-
ment rather than death, it was scarcely
equitable Justice to hang the other tel
nouncement to the crime. Therefore
Gov. Hardness did the right thing in
committing the sentence of Lescord.

Potato crops have a comparatively
new insect pest to contend with along
with their old enemy the potato beetle.
And the worst of it is, this insect, called
the potato leafhopper, isn't satisfied to
confine its attention strictly to potato
plants but has a hearty appetite for
beans, sugar beets, apples and rasp-
berries. This is adding insult to in
jury.
