court when called.
Hughes trouble was that he sign
ed too many papers, Prosecutor
d. H. Wolford said.
The charge is that Hughes pur-
chased a tractor from John Cau-
then, giving Cauthen a promissory
note. Then he sold the tractor to
James Brock for cash. Meanwhile
Cauthen said, Hughes had made
no payments on the promissory
note. Up to that time, however,
Hughes evidently was dear of
any legal etnanglements other
than a possible civil suit over the
note.
Cauthen, who did not know that
the tractor had been re-sold, be-
came worried and induced Hughes
to sign a sales contract covering
the tractor. He asked to see the
tractor when Hughes agreed to
sign the contract. Hughes borrow
ed the tractor from Brock, saying
he wanted to use it for a couple
of days, and showed it to Cauthen,
who was thereby satisfied of his
security. Hughes then returned the
machine to Brock.
When Hughes signed the sales
contract, Wolford charged, he in
effect morgaged property which
no longer belonged to him.
The net result was that Hughes
was ordered Tuesday to trial in
superior court-and Brock and
Cauthen proceeded in an effort
to find out to whom the tractor
actually belongs.

Succeeds Maj. Julia Stimson
Around June |, Says War

= Capt. Julia o. Flikke, assistant SUI
perintendent of the Army Nurse Corps,
now on duty in the Office OF the sur
geon general, will succeed Maj. Julia
G. Stimson as chief of the corps
about June l, the War Department
announced yesterday.
Miss Stimson, after 18 years Of
Army nursing service, will be relieved
Of duty about May Is and placed on
the retired list May 81. She was
director Of the nursing service of the
American Expeditionary Forces in
= France during the World War and has
been superintendent of the Army
Nurse Corps since 1919, holding the
rank OF major since 1920 Miss Stim-
son is recognized throughout the
world as an expert on nursing ad-
ministration and education, the War
Department said.
Mrs. Flikke, who will be promoted
10 the rank Of major, also began her
Army nursing career during the World
War. She was born In Wisconsin
March 16, 1878, and was graduated
from the Nurses School at Augustana

you. yourself, lead the suit, the proper
card would be the queen. The reason
for being careful to play the 8. or

do not hold the card Immediately be-
low the one that you play, viz, the 8.
An exception to the "third-hand

guarded king or queen, and your part
ner has opened low card Of the suit.
Here you should fnesse your part
ner's lead. that is, fail to play your
highest. The reason for this play is
that if your partner has led away from
the queen or king, respectively, you
stand to gain an extra trick oy playing
the jack instead Of the ace. OF course
degree Of caution must be exercised
because Of the possibility that the de-
clarer holds the missing face card, and
that it is either solo or that he can dis

Another echo that IS used fre-
queptly is the "high-higher" discard,
which means that you wish your
partner to lead two rounds Of the suit

ness in its history.
Mr.. Quitman Steed, Manager of
the Southern United Ice Company
of Durant, Mississippi, says: 81
have every reason to believe that
the New Modrn Aforementioned
Ice Refrigerators will, in a few
years, replace all other types of
domestic and commercial refrig-
Grafton. My reasons are found
ed on facts about the natural
way ice preserves foods as much
as the new improvements found
in the modern aforementioned ice
refrigerator.
Every fish store in the Unit
ed States uses Ice to preserve the
freshness and flavor of its stock.
Because fish is most perishable
and ice provides the essential
moisture that retains the flavor
of fish and keeps it from drying
out.
"Another fact that convinces
me that Ice will soon replace all
other forms of refrigeration is
that the Department of Agricul-
ture of the State of Texas chose
Ice refrigeration in preference to
all others, to protect fruits and
vegetables at the Dallas Centen-
NAL Exposition-and every year
more than a million carloads
of perishable foods shipped from
source to market, every refriger-
ated shipment is given the com
plete protection that ice alone
provides.
"There's little doubt in my
mind that when people know the
facts about the natural food pro-
lection ice gives. and once they
see the modern unconditional
ice refrigerators, that the Tee In
dustry will be the nations big
gest."
