Mrs. Mamie Bracket,
wife of the defendant, is re-

Byers had been quite a prob

he was employed.
Mrs. Edith Byers, wife of
the victim, repeatedly told
officers that her husband
had beat and choked her the
night before he was killed.
1t is alleged that the first
blast from the double-bar-

as he was seated at a table
in the kitchen in Brackets
home. The next two hit him
as he staggered from the
kitchen onto the porch, from
where he fell dead at the

Helpful Garden
Hints for March

The Kiss of the sun for
pardon
The song of the birds for
mirth
Ones nearer Gods heart
in a garden,
Than anywhere else on
earth.
One thing the successful
gardener must learn is to
know when to be in a hurry
and when to restrain her
self. The first warm days
of Spring are temptations
to gardeners to remove the
winter Mulches. This is the
time for restraint. Remove
only half the mound of soil
around your rose bushes
now. Remember, it's better
to leave the soil on too long
as a protection from freeze
than remove it too early.
Around the 18th, remove
the other half, prune, spray
and feed your roses now.
Apply two tablespoons of
5-10-5 fertilizer or any other
purpose rose food per plant.
Be sure to water this in
the soil. Make a saucer
around each rose bush, and
put the plant food in this.
Do this three times per sea-
son (first) when the new
growth starts; (second)
following the first bloom
ing; (third) six weeks be-
fore fall frost. Always Gull
tlvate and water after each
application. Prune roses
lightly if you want a lot of
blooms for the garden, and
prune hard if long stems
and specimen show blooms
are wanted. If you live
where you can do so, invite
birds to live with you. They
come North early in March
and will be nesting before
the end of the month. Feed
ing stations and baths are
two special inducements.
Make a home made bird
bath by planting a locust
post or similar post where
your bath is to be. Take a

and turn it upside down,
and nail or screw firmly
on this post so the children
wont trip it. Paint the col
or you prefer, and put low
growing plants around the
bottom. Remember, it's no
limit to progress when gar

gether.

Poor Communication.
Little gets into the bowls be-
cause this Is a part Of China
where communications come
close to falling apart altogether

crops in other areas. nobody has
found ways Of shifting the extra
food in any quantity into this
substandard country where hills
and mountains collide in ripples

Of glistening water and from the
air it seems a giant cast his net
across the folded and pinched
land. If you come down near
the river, your road is one of
red mud which slithers around
and over hills where the trees for
some reason all grow perpen-
dicular to the slope of land just
like those unbelievable Chinese

who was served boiled mallard

f1attened it with his broadsword
which had been resting beside a
blazing fire. The blade was red
hot and the parboiled poultry
simply went "sssphutt" and
Szechuan duck was born.
Be this as it may, Chungking

Szechuan hills and if the wartime
capital has not yet tumbled into

Later. he went out to one Of the
fashionable casinos at Saratoga Lake
for dinner. This. remember, was in
the sinful but cheerful 1920's. After
dinner he strolled into room where
some wheels were clicking. had
fling at a roulette table, and dropped
a packet Of money. It was not an
auspiciops beginning for week end
Of fun and frolic.
The following afternoon he spent
at the race track, but the jinx was
still on and he dropped another tidy
sum. On top OF that. while he was
driving back to the hotel the driver
behind him rammed the rear Of his
car and Dashed it effectively.

Build Up Community

A factory employing $50
people generates enough bust
ness in a community to support
between 1000 and l,200 persons,
economists say.
Residents earning their living
as a result of the factory will
need 300 homes, and ordinarily
will want about 800 automobiles.
Families gaining a livelihood be-
cause of the factory will have
children enough for an 18-room
school.
Such a community will support
33 stores, it is estimated, and
will allow % professional people
to live and serve in the COM
munity. 1t will pay $4,000 to the
local transportation facilities to
transport the goods produced by
the factory. 1t win buy the pro-

Xerxes and the Decadence

During XerXes' reign from
(484-465 B. c. the Persia En-
pire began to crumble. Although
the Empire was growing weak
XerXes managed to put down an
Egyptian rebellion and build an
immense force for an expedition
against the Aegean (Greek) En-
pire. The expedition against
the Aegean Empire was a COM
plete failure and Asiatic Greece
which was under Persian con-
troll was lost to the Aegeans,
Xerxes was finally assassinated
and the Persian Empire declined
at more rapid pace. The Greek
war continued for thirty more
years which cost the Perslans
heavily in men and money.
There were rebellions, conspira-
cies and court intrigues which
was caused by a weakening OF
the central government. In 4O0
B. c. Egypt revolted and it was
So years before it was reduced
to subjection. The mountain dis
tricts, some in the center Of
Persia, revolted and held out
against the government.
