fresh and dried fruits and vege-
tables, totalling ten carloads, for
Montana institutions alone. Almost
all of this huge order could have

the exceptions being such items as
olives, canned fish, figs, and raisins,

California and Washington.
The state would welcome bids
for supplying this produce from
Montana growers" he said.

commissioner, has purchased and
distributed $4,000 worth of food
stuffs to the needy of Montana.
Much of this has come in from other

Tennessee Farmer Charged
With Murder as Trial
! Gets Under Way.

ey the Associated Press.
WOODBURY., Tenn, June IL
John w. Davis was called to trial
today in the death of his wife, Jodie,
who died soon after she had pulled a
pillow on their little farm in the nearby
barren country"
An indictment charges Davis with
seoond-degree murder, but does not
set out specific allegations as to how
the 34-year-old woman met death.
However. the State, at the defendants
preliminary hearing, blamed an abor-
ton and charged it was performed
either by the 65-year-old husband
"or by his aid or consent" with
pair Of scissors or similar instrument.
Although testimony at the examin-
Ing trial was to the effect Mrs Davis
had helped to pull bull tongue"
plow on the day she was stricken
fatally, State Senator James H. Cum
mings, member of defense counsel,
said no contention had been made
That this work contributed to her
death.
Davis is expected to plead innocence
and deny knowledge of any operation.
Mrs. Davis died May Is, after
four-day illness. An autopsy dis
closed blood poisoning.
Mrs. Davis, 14-yeer-old son by
previous marriage, Charlie Hensley,
salh at the preliminary hearing he
and his mother and sister had pulled
the plow while Davis guided it. This
plan had been used since their horse
died last year, he said. They tugged
al a hickory stick that was attached
byua chain to the plow tongue.
Davis testified at his preliminary
hearing that he wanted another child,
but that his wife did not. Another
witness, Octa Mears. said that shortly
before the woman died she said she
didn't have anybody to blame but
herself"

Much Ado About Nothing

CRITICISM directed at Warden A. j. Barnes be-
cause he was humanitarian enough to want to re-
ward group of TRUSTEES for good conduct and harvest

pictures Of the Braddock fight at the Florence
theater is, in opinion, not justified.
The group Of TRUSTEES permitted to attend the pic
ture was comprised of men whose records over long
period have been so meritorious to warrant added
favors. Many of them had never seen moving pic
ture. Several had never heard talking picture.
Unquestionably the "theater party" was probably
the first of it's kind in the United States Yet the
prison in Florence is probably the only prison in the
United States which does not have modern moving
picture facilities.
Newspaper dispatches carried in daily papers of
the state stressed the fact that many women and
children of Florence in the theaer with the pris
oners ntmating that such condition created an un-
favorable influence Yet can remember When
whole families in Florence anxious Tor an IN
vtation to attend presentation of films within the
walls of the state prison surrounded by hndreds OF
prisoners instead of sixty.
If there is any just criticism of the affair." it seems
to us that it should have been directed at the theater
manaeement-not the warden of the state prison
The theater manager chose the night Which ordinarily
is lightly attended and picture that Would, usualy
