vicinity of First Baptist church has

by the painting of strips upon the

der to comply with an ordinance
adopted at the request of First Rap

permitted within this area during the

low valuation. Morgan Stevens, Jr.,

been made on this land, which is very
desirable for farming purposes.

HAYS CARVED WIFE,
SURRENDERED TODAY
Negro Living On j. W. Howard
1l Place Slashed Wife In Dispute
Fg2 la Over Small Sum

John Henry Hays, a negro living on
the J. w. Howard place, few miles
south of Americus, came in today and
surrendered to Sheriff Harvey, who
had sought him three days on a
charge of assault with intent to muir
der. Hays made bond Immediately
following his surrender.
According to information at the
courthouse, Hays, who had been living
apart from his wife Belle, met the
woman upon the streets of Americus
Saturday night and the two engag-
ed in quarrel over small sum OF
money which the woman says she
had and intended to use in the pur-
chase of a pair of shoes.
Hays, it seems, attempted to get
the money from his wife, and she
refused to give it. Then he proclaim
ed she didn't love him any more and
forthwith began to sever "the tie that
Ainds." He used an ordinary pocket
knife and inflicted a number of Sc
we're stab wounds, which are consid-
cred dangerous, though the woman
is expected to recover.
Belle Hays is a respectable negro
woman employed as cook by College
street family. She left her husband,
it is said, because of a family dis
agreement some time ago, since
which time she had earned her own
living as a domestic servant. R. c.
Lane has been employed as a special
prosecuting attorney in the case.

SEED DISTRIBUTION
RESTRICTED

Distribution of new and rare field
seeds" by the Department of Agri-
culture this year., in lieu of the more
general distribution of the common
garden variety, and in marked con-
trast thereto, is to be rigidly re-
stricted in more than one way, SO
that 1t behooves Wyoming farmers
desiring samples to send their names
early to Congressman Mondell. The
Department, in notifying Mr.. Mon
dell OF the innovation, says in part:
I'm arranging for this distribution
the most promising new and rare
forage crops have been given first
consideration. Since these newer
crops are not usually we'll adapted
to all sections of the country there
is necessarily some difference in the
number OF packages of seed avail
able for the various districts. We
expect to have available for testing
by you farmer-constituents the
following:
"25 two-pound packages of Grimm
alfalfa seed.
"75 t%hree-pound packages of
Great Northern field beans.
rs four-pound packages of field
peas.
100 three pound packages of
millet seed.
80 two-pound packages of white
clover seed"
The department requests Mr.. Mon
dell to SEN at his earliest con-
v%enience a list of names of farmers
who in his opinion would be inter-
ested in testing one or more of the
foregoing crops. Full instructions
regarding each crop is supplied by
the department. AS the supply of
seeds is SO limited, those interested
should communicate with Mr.. Mon
dell at once.
