time under the name OF "Home
Sweet Home Hotel" Was the mis-
erable man haunted day and night
by memories OF the happy home
which once was his but lost to him
forever because of his crime7
Sentenced to Prison Here
A few years ago Clark was ac-
cused and convicted In the district
court OF Martin county Of re-
voting crime against q child. He
was sentenced to Saltwater, where
he served until q few weeks ago.
Though long ago eligible, to pa.
role, there was none who would ac-
cept guardianship of him and he re-
NAMED in his felon's cell long after
ne might have been released.
Finally the prison authorities
discharged. him and gave him tran
sportation to an Idaho town where
a one: time member Of his family
resided.
Here the door was shut in the
old mans face.
With no place to turn he did the
only thing he could do---returned to
Fairrnont, claimed residence here
and was given haven at the county
farm as public dependent.
His stay there was short as he
was broken and diseased OF body
and the end Of his earthly anguish
obviously near.
Night before last he died.
Who will say that though he es.
capped the gallows and the moose or
even q prison cell in punishment OF
his greatest crime, that Duran w.
Clark did not undergo thirty long
years OF punishment far more poig-
nant in its suffering and horror
than it is possible for human ''jus-
tice to infict?
Let US believe that he has made
full atonement and that the forgive
ness withheld by man has been ex-
tended by a merciful God

by the United States department Of
agriculture.
Since horses do things largely
through habit, it is essential, says
the bulletin. to establish good habits
and to prevent colts from doing
things which might develop into, bad
habits. It is of primary importance
here that the colt should never be
permitted to have his own way. II
he can not do the one thing asked
Of him, the trainer Immediately
should make him do something else
which he can do. In this way the
colt is soon impressed with the fact
that man is his master. Once this
impression is firmly fixed in the
colts mind he Is well on his way
toward becoming a good, safe work
horse.
The bulletin takes up in separate
chapters such subjects as the age to

AUTOS ON THE FARM
SURVEY DEBYFEDERAL
DEPARTMENT.
Machines Used For Business and
Pleasure; Some Very inter-
estlns Figures

Automobiles on farms are used
mainly for business purposes with
comparatively little use made Of the
machines for pleasure, the United
States department of agriculture
has learned in recent farm manage
ment surveys. In 1871 farms sur
veyed, 923 farmers reported the
ownership. Of 100 automobiles or
trucks. The owners of the cars
stated that from two thirds to nine
tenths of the use of the machines
was for farm business.
In the Atlantic coast area cover
ing Chester county, Pennsylvania,
So per cent of the 423 farmers in
|terviewed had machines. In Mid
die Western areas covering gor:
Colorado, 70 to So per cent of 3S3
farmers reported machines. in
Washington and Idaho in the Pal
ouse area SO per cent of $50 farm
ers reported ownership Of cars.
The only region where less than SO
per cent Of the farmers owned aa-
tomobiles was in the dry farming
wheat area where 315 farmers re-
ported only 152 machines.
The touring car is the most pop
ular type Of automobile with these
farmers as It can be used for all
purposes, from hauling milk or feed
to taking the children on Sunday
picnics. Two thirds or more Of all
machines reported were touring
cars. Trucks come next in popu
chimes reported being trucks. Road
sters, sedans and coupes were less

than one tenth Of all machines used.
The low priced car is also the
most popular among farmers, over

Of the touring cars was about $780,
with an estimated length Of life Of
from 7 to s years! In the different
areas the average price paid for
small machines was $500 to $500,
and for medium size machines from

eight or nine years, when prices
were relatively higher than they are
now.
Cost Of operating touring cars,
including depreciation, was between
5000 and $500 per year. Gas and
oil made up about 80 per cent Of the
cash costs, with cost of tires. re-
pairs and license fees making up
the balance. Relatively few owners
carried insurance on their cars. Gas
and oil consumption was found to
be about the same for small and
medium sized cars, the light cars
being somewhat more economical
on gas In some cases, but using
more oil on the average in all areas.

Depreciation was found to amount

of operation, estimated annual de-
probation on the larger cars being

FOUND GOLD IN CHICKENS
Bulgarian Town All Wrought Up
Over Rich Discoveries


Sliveu, bulgaria, November 3D.
Correspondence Of The Associated
Pressl-A brace of Turkish hick-
ems recently brought some gold
nuggets into Sliven in their gullets,
since which time the townspeople
have been thinking far more Of
prospecting than of their age old
industry of spinning wooden cloth.
The birds were carried to the
market place by q Turkish peasant,
since eagerly sought, and sold to
Ivan Manoloff. Preparing them for
the pot Ivan found the nuggets
which, after his excitment abatsd,
he>sold to the local goldsmith for
400 leya. Ivan has quit work and is
is devoting all his time to seeking
the village where the Turk raised
the chickens. His argument is that
thus could le trace the source Of
the find. But he is still looking, for
there are many Turkish villages in
the Silven district, and the Turkish
peasant has not reappeared in the
market place since the day of the
now historic occurrence.
