come Can Be Assured by
Modern Dairy.
Would End Hard Times

There Is a feeling among Nebraska
farmers, who are attending the an
nual convention at Hotel Fontenelle,
that means should be taken to place
from six to eight high grade dairy
cows on every farm in the state to in
sure steady income to the farmer.
j. r. Howard, president of the Ma
tional Transportation institute, Chi
cago, in speaking to the convention
stated that by having dairy cows on
farms, the revenue received would do
away with the necessity of running
a grocery bill. 1t would also insure
a greater production of milk and
dairy products.
II do not mean." said Mr.. Howard,
"that every farm should be turned in
to dairy ranch. But, there is no
thing like a steady income. be it how
ever small, to check the natural out
cry of hard times.
Condition World Wide.
He declared that the farm situation
is not confined to this country, but
il world wide.
Lower cost prices for the farmer
will do more to bring him to prewar
stability than all the legislation pro-
posed.
"The American farmer is better off
than farmers of other nations. The
soil, consuming public, sound finan'
cial concerns and rapid transporta-
ton assure this
History constantly repeats itself, y
declared Melvin A. Traylor. president
of the First Trust and Savings bank,
Chicago.
when we read, editorials and ar
ticles of many years ago, the same
cries are raised, the same dire re
suits are prophesied, and the same
mistakes are made in predictions, he
said. "The past does not portend
disaster.
Prosperity Is Predicted.
'In this nation we have not yet
reached the cross roads unmarked by
any sign. Ahead are greater heights
to be reached. We are entering a
period of prosperity never before ex-
perienced.
THE agricultural situation is great
lv improved. The difficulties of the
farmer have been exploited by their
friends to the farmers detriment.
The credit OF the farmer has been
damaged more by this talk OF hard
times for the farmer than the times
themselves"
He quoted several articles bewail
ing the times and predicting disaster
for America. These might have ap-
peared in any periodical Of today,
and the real case was not known I'M
til the date was read. In many in
stances the date was one from 40
to 50 years ago.
President Urges Cooperation.
In opening the convention yester
day, Dan j. Riley, president OF the
association, declared that the gen
eral feeling of bankers and other
financial institutions of the country,
is that money is more ready than IL
was four years ago. lie urged great
er cooperation between the banker
and farmer; better system OF credit
for the farmer and utilization of ev-
cry possible means Of income on the
farm.
He advocated the purchasing oil

o'clock Thursday afternoon.
The cast will go to the jury Fri

Garrett too the stand today and
while admitting he shot the min
lister, swore he did not fire until Mr..
Pierce had shot him in the back
and he believed his life in danger.
He declared witnesses who had Civ
en- testimony that he shot first were
his bitter enemies and had been for
years.
1t required an hour and twenty
five minutes for Garrett to give his
direct testimony under questioning
of II. M. Smith of defense counsel.
His version of the Pierce tragedy
and the events leading up to it, was
essentially the same as that he gave
when he testified in behalf of his
brother last July. He told of com.
ing to Cumberland county as depu'
ty clerk of court in 1906, of subse-
quently becoming clerk; of his po'
litical fights and business activi-
ties; of the Chandler shooting on
the night Of May 8 and finally of
the fatal fight June at the Pierce
home.
He testified he and his brother
Larkin did not have any intention
Of going to Mr.. Pierce's home until
they read together early on the
morning of the shooting the Chand-
Ter affidavit the witness had just
brought back from Richmond.
He said they went there to ask
Mr., Pierce as to his mention of Mrs.
l.. c.. CARROTS name in the minis
ter's conversation with Chandler
and also as to any knowledge Pierce
had Of the Chandler shooting. They
had no idea of starting trouble, the
witness averred.
He swore Pierce struck the blow
that started the fist fight between
the minister and Larkin Garrett
and that Pierce also fired first in
the shooting that followed.
HE shot me in the back after L
had taken the shotgun from him
and started from the yard, the
witness said. He denied emphatic

as it lay on the ground and equally

KLENK FEATURE OF ORCHESTRA CONCERT MUSIC ASSOCIATION

Every number at the orchestra concert of the Birmingham Music association Sunday afternoon was finely executed. The violin solo of Clarence Klenk. who played Evening Star" from "Tannahauser." was flaw less. It was greeted by long ap- plause. and he played 1t a second time with the violin muted and sub dued accompaniment by the other strings.
 The spirited selection from Car men" received second honors. Be- ginning with a rush. 1t continued with fine dramatic effect through out a number of the most popular airs of the opera and ended with a cazenda in the melee after the bull fight.
 Each of the three dances from Henry vIII." by Edward German. seemed better than the other. The stately Norris dance. the airy shep- herds dance and the lively torcy dance were all splendidly done.
 Tho overture was Johann Strauss Die fledermaus," and the always popular selection from Carl Gold Rural Wedding Symphony" the movement called "In the Garden" was played beautifully,
