MRS. LEILA HUMBER

ON CHARGE OF KILLING
HER HUSBAND.

COLUMBUS, Ga.-Mrs. Leila c.
Humber, charged with the murder OF
her husband Lucius F. Humber, prom
inent Columbus warehouseman, on
May Is, yesterday at a preliminary
hearing at Scale Ala, was bound over
to the Russell county circuit court
without bail.
The hearing lasted all day.
The defense claimed that the shots
which killed Mr. Humber were fired
during tussel between Mr. and Mrs.
Humber after the husband had
threatened her life and exhibited
pistol. The state contended dying
declarations were made by Humber to
the effect that his wife shot him. The
next term of Russell circuit court
opens in September.
1t is expected that effort will be
made to have Mrs. Humber trans
ferred from Scale to either the Opeli-

Mud Smothers Mine Fire
That Burned Fifteen Years
Millions of Tons of Silt Being Forced
Into Pit Near Butte, Mont.

Shiny mud is being used to smother
a fire that has been burning in a cop
per mine near Butte, Mont, for IS
years. Millions OF tons OF mud has
been forced into the mine, and the
fire will be completely eXtinguished
by 1928, it is expected.
The mud which is being forced into
the mine is from the huge piles of
material discarded as failing during
the process OF copper mining. Water
is used to carry the mud to the tunnel
mouth, whence it is forced to the low
est depths OF the workings The mud
fills shafts, tunnels and every other
available space, thus virtually smoth-
ering the fire.
The burning mines at Butte will not
be worked when the fire is out. They
are blocking access to valuable ore
deposits while they are burning. 1t is
this field that is to be saved.
The task of extinguishing the fires
in the Butte mine has been difficult
and long. The work was begun in 1917
and will probably end in 1928. A force
of $50 men. on 24-hour shifts, is en-
ploved in the work.

When the farmer learns how to in
crease the producing power of soils
by methods that will allow good mar
gins for profits from crops produced
he will be in a position to make farm
ing a profitable industry.
Therefore the first and most import
ant matter to engage the attention OF
the farmer is soil-building. His capital
is in the fields he cultivates.
Soils Need Humus.
We should bear in mind that most
of the sails of the south need humus,
that the best way to supply organic
matter is to grow legumes and pillow
them under, and that this method en-
ables the farmer to utilize for succeed
ing crops the nitrogen which is
drawn from the air by these plants.
Legumes-such as soy beans, COW
peas, clover, etc.,-shoufd have a per-
manent place in crop rotation. They
are soil improving crops and furnish
feed for live stock-and the best sys-
tenn OF farming includes live stock in
its program.
Where farming does not pay in the
south it is the fault of the farmer.
Farming can be made a profitable in
dustry through a system OF corn, le-
gumes, cows, hogs and cotton.
BY turning under green crops and
feeding forage and grain to live stock
and returning the manure to the helds
on which crops are grown steady

Follow Grain Crops With Legumes.
Soy beans or peas should follow
wheat or oats this year, and to insure
good yields, and to put the land in

some years to come, pulverized lime

bic fields at the time of planting these
crops.
Lay Foundation Now.
Now is the time to lay founda-

difficult to find the way to success, or
to follow it. Cows, sheep hogs, chick
ems, hay, wheat, corn, cotton-every
farm in the cotton sections OF the
southeast can have all these things, and
more, and along with them fertile farm
lands, good farm houses, something
to sell every month in the year-in-
acknowledgements prosperity.
With a double crop system suited
to our climate and soil, summer and
winter legume crops to protect and
enrich our lands and furnish feed for
live stock, and COWS and hogs to con-
sumo this feed, and increase the size

OF income-the enterprising farmer
may find a solution for most OF his
problems.

Anxious to Vote on
Beer and Cider Bill
Fifty Congressman Join in Request for
Prompt Report on Per Cent Act

Fifty Congressman JOIN IN Request Tor
Prompt Report on Per Cent Act.
WASHINGTON, D. Gritty con-
gressmen today joined in request to
the house ways and means committee
for a prompt report and opportunity
to vote on the Hill local option IT'S
per cent beer and cider bill.
The bill provides that each congress
sional district shall constitute a federal
local option district and that in the
next November election the voters
decide whether they wish beer or cider
as defined in the bill. Beer is defined
as meaning any beverage obtained by
the alcoholic fermentation of an infu
sion or decoction of barley, malt and
hops, in drinkable water, containing
not more than us per cent of alco-
hol by volume; cider means any bev-
erage obtained by the natural fermen-
tation of apple or other fruits, vegeta-
bles or herb juices containing not
more than 2.75 per cent of alcohol.
The bill also provides that there be
levied on all beer or cider so manufact-
ured tax of 20 cents a gallon. On the
basis of 100000 gallons of beer le-
gally produced in 1914 Representative
Hill claims that this bill would pro-
duce from $400,000000 to $500,000,000
year of needed revenue for the treas
ury.
