Ench8ntment Of Distance.
Again the planet Mars draws near.
Well all investigate.
We need relief from problems here
Which for attention wait.
Our fellow beings on this earth
AS yet we scarcely know
Their possibilities Of worth
Their gladness or their woe.
HAS Mars a people," we demand,
Like us in fears and hopes?"
We disregard the folks at hand
And grab our telescopes.

.IRISH WILL OPEN
 OWN RADIO STATION
Dublin To Relay Programs From
 England

DUBLIN, Sept. 6.-Ireland's first radio broadcasting station will be opened next month by the Duke of AbercrOn, governor general of north ern Ireland. There are many radio enthusiasts in Ireland, but so far they have had to depend on British and con tinental stations. This necessitates pos session of the more expensive receiving sets which cost from 15 to 40 pounds sterling and are beyond the means of the poorer classes The Belfast sta tion will enable thousands to make use of inexpensive crystal doctors.
 The station will not only broadcast its own programs, but relay those from London and other points. A special cable to facilitate this has been laid be- tween the Antrim coast and Scotland, connected to British land line.

MURDER CHARGE
 LAID TO CLARK
Brothers Held Without Bond Following Farm
 CTS Death

Clarence Clark and his brother, w.. W. Fuss" Clark, residents of the Cald- we'll mill road settlement, were being held in the county jail without bond Saturday night following the death of W. L. Vest, age 69, a neighbor, who died at Il o'clock Saturday morning at the Hillman hospital from blow on the head with a shortgun, said to have been inflicted by Clarence Clark. Clark was arrested early Friday nikgt when he brought the wounded man to the county jail and attempted to secure warrant for his arrest on a charge of stealing hogs. Deputies discovered the injured man in his auto mobile and placed him under arrest on charge Assault with intent to murder. The charge was changed to murder Saturday following the death of Vest.
 W. W. Clark was arrested later in the afternoon by United States Dep uties A. II. Fowler and E. W. Buck ner and State Law Enforcement Off cer J. T. Clements, near a still said to have been owned and operated by the Clark brothers. His clothes were bloody at the time, the officers stated.
 Still Is Blamed
 An investigation revealed that the attack grew out of information furn- ished them by Vest, officers stated. Vest, they said, told them where the Clark brothers had their still located. The still was found, officers stated, and later W. w. Clark was captured in this vicinity. An additional charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law was placed against the brothers.
 The body of the aged farmer was turned over to Lige Loy by Coroner J. D. Russum to be prepared for burial. Funeral services will be announced later. Coroner Russum held a prelim- mary inquest into the death Saturday. A formal hearing will be held next week.
 Mir. Vest is survived by his widow i; three sons, Henry Vest, Charles Vest, and Clayton Vest; four daughters, Mrs. Mary Isbell, of Irondale; Mrs. Dora Brock, of Leeds; Mrs. Leila Sims and Mrs. Jetty Sims of the Caldwell mill road settlement; two brothers, J.
