The average man will need all his

things that can be found out. We do
not mean things that are already

Learn first the limitations of the

WASTING ENERGY

CINCE the beginning of time men
~ have wasted millions of years OF
energy in trying to soIve the unknow-
able.
The, mysteries of life and death. the
puzzle of space, these things are be-
yond the grasp of the human mind.
Let them alone. There Is abundant
knowledge that can be learned, useful
knowledge that will help you with
your career.
Study that kind Of knowledge. Take
mental food that your mind can digest.
Take 1t in abundance. Work hard to
get it.
But do not torture your mind with
problems that are beyond your reach.
A scientist, searching for truth, de-
termines as soon as he can in what
directions he can make progress. And
his researches follow in these direc-
lions.
Where he sees a stone wall set up
against him, he turns aside.
There Is no use trying to travel any
further in that way. There Is plenty
of work TO do that can be lone. And
that is the work that occupies the
Investigators mind.

Walter Higginbotham, Charg

Lake City, Fla, June 4,-Thomas
Walter Higginbotham, convict whip
ping boss. went on trial today on a
charge of first degree murder in con-
nectiOn with tn. death of Martin Ia
bert of North Dakota.
Shortly after converting, the court
recessed until late this afternoon
because Of the absence of l.. f. Wade,
leading counsel for the defense. II
was expected the hearing Of testi-
moHy from approximately 80 witness
as summoned by the state and de-
Tense would be reached tomorrow.
Judge NJ. A. Mcmillan of Clearwa-
ter, Fla. is presiding at the trial
having been assigned by Governor
Hardee. Judge Mcmillan is the
third to have connection with the
case. one judge having been dis quail
flied by move by the defense and
the second eliminated by the change
of venue obtained by the state when
the trial opened at Cross City.
The state contended fair and i'm
partial trial could not be had at
Cross City, contending that the Put
nam Lumber Company, which en-
ployed Higginbotham, owned about
- percent of the land in the county
and paid IS percent of the cOunty's
taxes. At Cross City court was held
in little church in the woods and
the judge occupied the pulpit but
here the trial is being held in a mo-
dern courthouse with a leather cush-
ion bench for the Judge.

alone has exceeded that Of all other
meats combined.
A study of the hog production in
dustry included in the 1922 yearbook
OF the Department of Agriculture
shows that among the farm animals
hogs are exceeded in numbers only
by cattle and in value only by cattle
and horses. They are produced on
three-fourths of the farms of the
country and represent over ten per-
cent Of the value of the nations
agricultural production.
Nearly two-thirds of the CONNER

belt. The amount of corn marketed
in the form Of hogs varies annually
from to 40 percent of the entire
crop. Pork exports represent about
