COOLIDGE To SEND
RADIO GREETINGS
To POLAR REGIONS

HARTFORD, Conn, Dec. %
President Coolidge is sending Christ
mas greetings to the North Pole.
Winged north by amateur radio at
a speed of thousands of miles per
second, a merry Christmas" from
the White House will greet tiny
group of explorers in their ice-bound
cabin on top of the world, only II
degrees from the pole.
A short time after he had written
Christmas greeting to the chill
dren~ of the United States, President
Coolidge wrote a Christmas message
for Captain Donald B. Macmillan,
who, of all men, is nearest the home
of Santa Claus and possibly the first
to win the confidence Of the old
saint.
Amateur radio men connected with
the American Radio Relay league,
the Radio photographers organiza-
ton that has maintained communi-
cation with the Macmillan eXpedt-
ton, will start the Coolidge message
on it's four thousand mile journey
from this city tonight.
The text of the greeting, contain
ing forty-three words of cheer from
President Coolidge to Captain Mac
MILAN and his crew in the lonely
Arctic solitude, Will be sent from
Hartford to Refuge Harbor, North
Greenland, entirely by means Of
amateur transmitting stations.
The presidential Merry Christ
mas" was filed with the Radio Cor
poration of America, reaching their
New York office this morning. The
message will be forwarded by all
amateur radio route which will
take it to the Dakotas and diagonal
ly across Canada to North Green
land.
The complete text cannot be made
public owing to the regulation which
provides that radio nessag es must
be held in strict confidence.
Captain MacMillan's schooner, the
BoWdoin, being equipped with an
amateur transmitting station, he is
able to communicate only with anna
teur stations in the United States
and Canada. 1t was for this reason
that the radio corporation appealed
to the league, asking that the anna
teur organization forward the mes
sage.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Formal
application for a review Of the inn
parchment of Former Governor Wal
ton, of Oklahoma, was made today
to the supreme court by his attor-
neys, F. E. Riddle and Henry B.
Martin.
The petition alleged prejudice by
the Oklahoma senate, which tried
the governor and removed him from
office, and by the house of represent
atives, which prepared the impeach-
ment charges. Because of member
ship in the Ku KluX Khan, it was
charged members of the legislature
were pledged in a conspiracy in adj
vance to convict the governor.
Never before has the supreme
court asked to review the impeach-
ment of a state officer. The grounds
upon which tOdays action was based
was the due process" provision of
the constitution. Governor Walton S
counsel declared he had been denied
due process of law by being tried by
prejudiced judges, a majority of
whom, it was alleged. were members
of the khan.
The petition was presented to the
full court, in chambers. Associate
Justice Van DeVanter was asked to
grant a writ in the case individually
| but he deferred action. TOday'S plea
| cannot be acted on by the court until
| the present holiday recess ends jan
uary 2.
The khan was charged in Governor
Walton's brief with having secured
control of the Oklahoma government
and, by the Impeachment of Gov
ernor Walton of having denied the
people of Oklahoma protection. Va
Tious alleged cases of mob violence.
| flOggings and imprisonment Of citi-
zens by Khan members were alleged
| The governor during the trial, the
brief declared, presented facts clear.

majority of the members of the court
and an agreement in advance to con

was declared that Governor Walton
was entitled to a judicial trial and
IAN opportunity to be tried before
| judges unprejudiced and qualified
to sit in Judgment"
The facts aVered," the brief con
tinued, must be accepted. on their
face as true. Then the petitions
had no trial. 1t was no more MOI
less than a party having his case
prejudged by conspirators under al
agreement to unlaWfully remove hin
from the high office to which he hat
been elevated by the people of the
state.''
Supreme court review of the i'm
parchment was asked on the GROUND
that Governor Walton may not bt

BEST OUTLOOK IN YEARS
Favorable Prospects Reported by the
 Department Of Agriculture.

Washington, May 1.-The agricultur Il prospect now is probably the best 1t has been in three years, the Depart ment Of Agriculture announced today in it's monthly review The outlook for next fall and winter is said to de- pend upon continuation of the present industrial boom in cities.
 '"The domestic market for farm pro ducts is reported to have improved measurably as a result of increased pros parity in urban communities, the review said, but the prospective fort- ign demand for American farm pro- ducts is not so good as it was year ago.
 When labor is fully employed and wages high, farm products find read fer sale and better prices. This IS what has helped sustain the price Of hogs this spring, likewise lambs, cat tie, dairy products, eggs and ceratin vegetables.
 Labor is being drawn from the farms to urban centers, but there is as yet little evidence of serious farm labor handicap. The pinch is expect ed to come at harvest time, should the movement continue. Spring planting generally is reported from two to three weeks behind, but the reported trend is toward increased production of cot ton, sheep and possibly corn, and de- creased production of wheat, hogs and potatoes.
 Prices of leading crops show con- tinued upward trend, but the general level of live stock prices is reported stationary or tending to move slightly downward Prices of commodities that farmers buy also show continu- ed upward trend, so that the relative purchasing power of a unit of farm products remained unchanged"

 There are now docketed a total Of 66 criminal cases, the greater portion of which are for felonies and in addi- Ji0n tEere gre a great number more than will be subject to grand jury con- sideration as the result of accused per sons being held to that body on exam ming trial in the municipal court or in various justices courts throughout the county =.
 It is generally believed that < the county will have at this next term of court a greater number of criminal cases to be, disposed Of than at any term of the court within the past four or five years.

fant daughter were shot to death as they lay in their beds.
 Pope directed the visit to the Han sell home, according to his son and Harvey. Young Pope said on the stand that he was forced to go along. He said Harvey had been promised $500 to aid in the killings.
 Young Pope said he took no part in the actual shooting. He said he waited outside the Hansell home, holding the horses which the three rode, while his father and Harvey went in and slaughtered the sleeping family. Har- vey, a youth of low mentality, testified that he held the horses, while the two Popes did the killing.
 Although Pope admitted killing his wife, he denied that he had shot any of the other members of the Hansell family.
 Intense feeling exists in McCurtain county against the three. Pope will escape the electric chair, however, if Governor Walton holds to his pledge that no person. shall be executed by the state during his term of office.

COTTON SPACING
GA. F. Scheid, County Agent

GA. F. Scheid, County Agent.)
 It has been demonstrated by results obtained in the various cooperative cotton spacing tests conducted by farmers over the state in cooperation with the College of Agriculture, as we'll as the government stations that close spacing of cotton pays under boil weevil conditions.
 By leaving ? or three stalks every six to ten inches, or the width of the average. size hoe used in chopping, earlier fruiting is secured. Instead of spreading and growing larger stalks and limbs as we find where only one stalk is left in the hill, the close spac- ing causes the stalk to spread less and begin immediately to fruit. I observed one experiment last year where the grower planted about a bushel of cot ton seed per acre. Practically all the seed came up and was never thinned or chopped but made a fair yield of cotton.
 1 am not advising that cotton be spaced that close, but this experiment shows that thick spacing pays. I think he would have made more cotton had he thinned it down to or stalks every six to eight inches. As it was he made more than he would had he cut out to one stalk in the hill. He went to the extreme on thick spacing. But it was more profitable than to have went to the extreme the other way This is especially true where we have boil weevils and it is our problem to try to grow smaller stalk and get earlier fruiting and maturity.
