Morgan Men Patent All
Metal Sanitary Hens Nest
FLOWERS TO PLANT IN
THE BACKYARD GARDEN

H. B. Dorner, chief in Horticulture,
University of Illinois, advised the
short course class in horticulture at
University Farm to acquire some
thing of the spirit of the times in
which grandmother worked in the
garden. His subject was the "Old-
Fashioned Flower Garden" in which
he said, grandmother used everything
she could get by exchange and pro-
duced riot of color.
Professor Dorner said that flow
ers and vegetables could be combined
to advantage. The ANNALS had an
established place in the old garden
and should never be neglected. The
zinnia should be a staple, for it will
stand dry weather and hard knocks
generally, and is unsurpassed as a
cut flower. He recommended among
other varieties the Colossal and the
dahlia flower Zinnia, and advised
the class to grow them in separate
colors-"the colors you want"
Other plants recommended for the
new old-fashioned garden were the
marigolds-big and little, the stock
lowered form of delphinium the
double variety of bachelor buttons Or
corn flowers sown in the fall, the
lupin, salpiglossis, scabiosa, and a
few coxcombs and amaranths. There
should be places also for four
o'clock, petunias, and verbenas, which
are not so good for cut flowers but
which add color and beauty.
Still other plants worthy of use
We're the Japanese morning glory, the
sweet pea, the climbing nasturtium,
baby breath, candytuft, and annual
phlox. Of California poppies, the tulip
poppy was to be preferred for its
beautiful lemon yellow color and the
fact that it would keep in water four
or five days.
New varieties of cosmos should
supplant the old type, he said. The
yellow cosmos can be grown to adj
vantage only under glass.

SAM v. WARNER
TO LEAVE OLIVIA

The Olivia friends of Sam Warner
and family will regret to learn that
the Warner family intend to leave
Olivia in the near future. They have
decided to move to Litchfield where
Mr.. Warner will find it more conven-
lent in his work as deputy game war
den, and because of added response
bilities which he is about to assume
as an employee of the Game & Fish
department.
Mr.. and Mrs. Warner have resided
in Olivia for about twenty years and
have been active during all those
years in all civic and social move
ments that had for their object the
betterment of the community. They
will be missed from the social and
business circles of Olivia and from
community activities, but we can COM
mend them to the citizens of Litch-
field as people who will measure up
to the highest standard of citizenship.
Mr.. Warner has not sold his home
there and the hope is expressed that
they may return to Olivia before very
long.-Olivia Times.

WORLD EVENTS BY TELEPHONE

Most of us do not appreciate the
great work of the telephone in handl-
ing important events, and its share in
news dissemination.
The Southwestern Bell Telephone
Company, which covers the Republi-
can and Democratic convention cities,
already has skilled workers busy con-
structing and rearranging long dis
lance lines to handle the increased de-
mands for service that will result
from the two national political con-
ventions to be held at Houston and
Kansas City in June.
The Kansas City convention will re-
quire about 80 new circuits to ade-
quately handle the calls. Work is
being done on the same scale for the
Houston convention.
We are obliged to the telephone for
much of the news we receive, imme-
diately on its happening, whether it
be sporting events or presidential
nominations. 1t has become so inte-
grail part of modern business and
private life that we cannot imagine
the difficulties which would ensue
were we to be suddenly without it,

All Metal Continuance Has Been
Invented by X. Nj. Jensen
and G.. B. HuSchke

Two Morgan men, X. M. Jensen
and c. B. Huschke, have contrived a
sanitary hens nest and roost, which
they have patented, and are about to
put on the market.
Already representatives of the Sam
itary Chicken Roost and Nest Co.,
which the new firm styles itself,
have called on a number of dealers
and secured their orders for nests.
No trouble has been experienced in
interesting dealers in the new inven-
tion and if they find favor equally
as we'll among the farmers and
other chicken raisers thriving in
dustry will be built up.
At first the nest will be sold and
when the market for that has been
well established the patented roost
will be put on the market.
The nest is made almost entirely
of metal, and is practically indestruc-
table. 1t is made largely of sheet
iron, although the front and back of
the nest is supplied with wire instead
of sheet iron if preferred. There is
a rubber bottom which is replaceable.
Forming a part of the nest, under
meath and to the front, is a wire bas-
ket to hold the eggs. The eggs roll
into the basket as they are laid by
the hens. They cannot become brok-
en-, or damaged nor dirty. The cover
to the basket when lifted up serves as
a door to the nest so that a child can
gather the eggs without danger of
being picked by the hen in the nest.
1t is said that mites cannot live on
the rubber bottom, hence these nests
will promote more healthy conditions
for the hens and should tend to in
crease egg production.
The metal and wire roosts which
will be placed in the chicken house
away from the walls will also make
for better sanitary conditions among
the flock.
The contrivance is made in combin-
ations of four or six Morgan

OWNER OF VALHAILA
SUES FOR INSURANCE

A friendly suit to settle the ques-
ton of whether or not the Slayton
Township Mutual Fire Insurance
Company of Slayton is liable in the
sum of $4,000 for insurance on the
Valhalla pavilion at Lake Shetek
which was destroyed by fire, was fill
ed last week by o. H. Beal, who own
ed the resort.
Setting forth his reasons why the
company should be required to pay
the $4,000, Mr.. Beal enumerates
among other things, that the policy
was assigned to one James Staples
some two years ago, when the lat
ter made a loan on the resort, that
said assignment was accepted by the
Insurance company through its prop
er officials and that while notice of
an assessment of $1,000 was made to
Mr.. Beal, the assignee and holder Of
the policy, Mr.. Staples, never receiv-
ed such notice.

BY s. S. HAHN
Noted Criminal Attorney

Written For United Press
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 1.-The de-
positions of school mates and inti-
mate friends Of William Edward
Hickman which were read at his
trial, in my Judgment did more harm
to his insanity defense than II they
had never been read.
Contrary to proving that he was
insane, they tend TO show that he
was mentally alert to the disadvan-
tage of losing prestige and stand
ing in his school, by his defeat in
an oratorical contest.
'.MeNtal depression, as attestel
by his schoolmates, is the reaction
Of normal rcrsons under similar
circumstances.
If there were Gnv value in the
depositions given bv relatives con-
ce'ning ancestral "mental quirks, .
" imaginary grievances, : "kind Of
nuttv,' mot JUS right, - queer
actions. "'suicidal tendencies. >
and similar conclusions and state
ments, classmates dispositions con-
clusively prove that William Edward
Hickman did not inherit any Of
those insane symptoms.
Those depositions prove beyond
all question that Hickman had I
brilliant intellect, and was possess
sed of normal ambitions, which are
contrary to any emotions of an in
sane person.
1t was especially distinguishing
between right and wrong when
the witness deposed that at the
time the contest was decided against
lin, Hickman wrote u rcsrntful
note to his former pals and aSsoci-
ateS.
Somc Of these derositi0rs read Ly
defense counsel Walsh may prove
that Hickman Is cmotioraily insane,
but such insanity is not recognized

MIA.
If the evidence of insanity offer

test prescribed by the law of Calf

mind SO unbalanced that he could
not distinguish between right and
wrong. and understand the quality
OF his criminal act, then Hickman :
