COURT COMMON
PLEAS OF KENT
Several Cases Heard at Do
yer by Judge Wiley and
Sentences Are Passed
SOME HELD FOR COURT

Perhaps the highest bail fixed in
any case in Kent County Courts in
recent years, was ordered by Judge
Earle d. Wiley in the Kent County
Court of Common Pleas last week
when he fixed the bail of defend
ant at $4,000 in each case of the
two charges against him. In de-
fault of bail the man was lodged in
jail. The defendant was William
Cosden, colored, of Milford, alleged
to have committed assault with
violence and assault with intent to
commit rape, on Mrs. Evelyn Dep
uty, 70, a white woman, residing
near Milford. He was also charg-
ed with robbery arising from his
alleged theft of sum of money
from the woman's home. The at
tack on the woman took place
some days ago and the man was
the subject of a man hunt in the
Milford area until he was finally
apprehended by poice officers in
Maryland and lodged in the Den
ton Jail. He was brought into
court by State Detective D. D.
Wharton. His case is scheduled to
be tried before the October term of
the Court of General Sessions.
Johnson Russ, colored, of Harring-
ton, was brought before the court
charged with assault and battery
on Stella M. Sterling and Anna L..
johnson. Judge Wiley imposed a
sentence of one month in Jail af-
ter the defendant had entered a
plea of guilty. The court took
into consideration the fact that the
defendant had already been in Jail
almost month awaiting trial. A
verdict of not guilty was rendered
by Judge Wiley in the case of Pal
mer Ashton, of Smyrna, charged
with driving an automobile while
under the influence of liquor. The
trial in the case was held on Thurs
day but the court reserved decision
until Monday. H. E. Quillen, of
Harrington, was arrested by Offic-
er Turner, of the State police, on
Thursday for failing to stop at an
intersection of main highway.
The arreste occurred near Hartly.
After plea of guilty was entered
Judge Wiley imposed a fine of ten
dollars and costs amounting to
forty cents.

FARM MARKET
is LOOKING UP

purchase than people without ade-
quate experience" A reasonable
cash payment is required at the
time the sale is made and very lib
eral terms are given-a long period
in which to repay the loan and low
rates of interest. I'm the sales of
farm properties we find that most
of the purchases are made by peo-
pie living in the communities in
which the farms are located. and I
believe this is a healthy sign and
that farms sold to these people are
more likely to be successful enter
prises than those sold to purchas-
ers coming from long distances.
The people of the communities In
which the farms are located have
a well established idea of the value
of the properties, what they have
produced over a period of years;
and what they are likely to do in
the future, and it is knowledge of
this kind that is used in establish
ing the loan value as well as sale
price of the properties which are
offered for sale. 1T has been many
years since there has been as good
a nopportunity as at the present to
purchase farm on liberal terms.
The purchaser must make a down
payment on the property of at
least 25 per cent of the appraised
avlue and he should also have suf-
ficient equipment with which to
work the property and farming ex-
perience, in order that he may
safely invest his funds in the farm
ing business"

6. .T.C.Q QUOTA REDUCED HERE
Registration Blanks Ex- peCted SOOn-NewtOn
 Alexander in Charge

Major Newton Alexander, county chairman of the 0. M. T. c. camps, announced today application blanks for registration are expected here within 8 few days. When they do arrive from Boston, facilities for handling them will be set up, the details connected with this work to be announced later.
 Last year there were 35 boys from this city at 0. M. T. 0. camps, but with the New England quota reduc- ed to 2,2O0, as announced by Major General Fox Conner of Boston, 1t is believed the number will be slightly lower this year. There are four camps in the New England area at Fort Devens, Mass, Fort Adams, Rhode Island, Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont and Fort Mckinley, Maine. Local youths usually are assigned to the Massachusetts camp or Rhode Island.
 With as light reduction for Wa terbury this year 1t Is believed there will be fewer boys placer for the basic course, the preference being place on those who have had ex- perience and who will be in line for advanced courses. Registration will be open, however, to all be- tween the ages of IT and p. The local chairman regrets there will be a reduction but hopes to take care of as many applicants as pos- sible.

 Following collapse of Upton Sinclair's EPIC movement, the people of California have been turning toward cooperation as Q means of direct action. The movement is already strong in Washington and Oregon.
 California just now is holding the attention of co-operators throughout the country. Whether the native sons have grasped the Fundamentals of true cooperation seems to be the question. If they have, the co-ops will spread in California. But if this fundamen- tai understanding is lacking, the movement will collapse.

Washington, March 14-Barring a reversal of present trend, Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas is the best bet to be the republican nom- inee to oppose Roosevelt.
 Reports and portents from over 8 wide area indicate strongly that the uninstructed delegations and fa- vorite son delegations which pre- sumably will decide the result at the Cleveland convention will be all set to vote for him--unless something unfortunate happens to him in the meantime.
 Evidence that the eastern repub- lican leaders and the conservative interest they represent are recep- tive to the Landon candidacy and that important members of the Hoover group are edging toward the governors bandwagon tend to com- plete the picture, in combination with the popularity of Iandon in Chicago and points west, plus straw votes which indicate he has made hit with the rank and file.
 No other candidate shows up in this picture except Senator Borah, whose chances of nomination are considered by political authorities to carry heavy handicaps, like Borah's age,

Wary of Eastern Backing

Landons western friends, mean whi.e, are a bit jittery lest their relatively liberal candidate appear to be too readily acceptable to eastern industrialists and financiers. They insist he isn't the kind of man who will make deals with reaction ary special interest and they don't want anyone to get the idea that he has.
 They're worried over reports that Borah will attack Landon as the alleged candidate of "vcsted inter- ests" and would be just as glad if ex-Senator Edge of New Jersey, who is so close to Standard oil that he doesn't dare light a match, hadn't indicated preference for the governor.
 Dominant republican figures, in- cluding Landonites, profess not to take the Borah candidacy serious ly. They admit he will have 150 to 200 delegates and can insist on some voice In the party platform but think he will be content with that - and reelection as senator from Idaho if he can get 1t. No one now expects a BOrah bolt.
 Much can happen in 90 days, as Napoleon himself once learned. Meanwhile, there's much to sup- port the theory of Landon men that "it's in the bag"
