, I these terms are pretty technical and (hard to explain but from a clodhoppers version, both are right and . both are wrong for a square can he ' u ring, just as easy aa a ring can I do buHinstiß on the HQuure. 111 stop here for fea r O s getting personal as I might offend some farmer. Farmer H. scratched his head alii winter while thinking up some plan in order to make enough money to pay his spring taxes. , When spring came all that remained of his hair was a narrow strip ol fringe that decorated the I lower pari ofi his cocoanut. He wanted to look spin and span | so he decided to get his fringe nimmed before going up town to . pay his tax. he dropped into a Un- , ion Harber shop and after reading a sign which stated that a hair cut ’ cost 40 cents he tried to jew the , barber down to 20 cents and offered as an argument that it wasn't worth ’ any more than that to cut his hair, because he didn’t have much left' , The quick willed Irish barber said allright John I'll cut your hair for 20 cents providing you will mow my lawn for half price as the grass is thin and scattered’’ so you can I see since the city folks have Day j light Saving, they have a lot of time to study up smart things to say, so they can beat the farmers on their own argument. | But the greatest blunder the city folks made was when they spent too much time studying up these smart things to say until they started the farmers to thinking. Well John paid his 40 cent hair cut and taxes and he found out ho had to think more and harder in order to keep up with the city folks and from investigation he also ■ learned that it didn’t take a smart | man to run a county office, he said he could run an office himself if the county would hire a deputy for him that was bright enough to take j care of the business, and he also j learned that if he made a mistake I he could charge it up to the taxi payer and the state accounting 1 board would straighten up his books ! for him once a’ year, after hanging ! around the court house he decided | as a tax relief it would be a good idea to discharge the county officers and raise the deputies salaries as he would get just as good a service and save the county a lot of money besides. John also learned that it doesn’t pay to hire a man to teach the farmers how to raise bigger crops when we already have a surplus we must sell below the cost of production. Therefore the very day that the I city folks started the country folks to thinking they killed the goose that laid the golden egg. Big high educated gazooks with starchy clothes compel the farmers Ito build large modern expensive gyms in order to make the country ! kids tough and if all reports are I 1 true alsmt the last State Basketi ball tournament their plan is surely j working fine. They demand that high school students must learn to take and administer punishment on the foot- | ball field in order to -prepare them tor life that is mighty fine but they failed to consider that the real pun- j I isJiment was being inflicted on th" I parents when they have to work ' sixteen hours daily in order to pay their taxes. 1 1 honestly believe if the farmers ' I would get together and build a log I bull pen and if they would kidnap j some of these nutty empty headed [educators and keep them in there ■ for a few years and if the farmers M I ■ H ■■■■■HU ■■■■—■■

would run their own business again this country would soon swing back to a normal position. Even cut rate prices are causing the farmers trouble when the price of Dr. Mlles Nervine dropped to 79 cents a bottle city folks started > to take so much that they developl ed nerve enough to tell the farmers that they are not making any profit and if farmers are lucky enough to land a county job they begin to associate with the city folks and start to bringing 79 cent nervine until they get so nervy that they have a gall to ask for an increase of salary. I’ll sign oft for this time | and give the city folks a chance to express themselves only ono thing 1 forgot to state that he farmers were first to adopt an eight hour system they work eight hours before dinner and eight hours after dinner.

I quit by request of our City Mayor, on what charges I do not know.

Thia left the two counts charging the girl was killed ai the result of a criminul attack or an attemptsd criminal attack, both of which the jury that convicted Kirkland in his first trial rejected. The charge that Kirkland killed Arlene by striking her a blow with his fist was Incorporated in the first jury’s verdict sentencing the youtli to life imprisonment.

Tlie defense attorney elso wanted tlie jurors to view the lunch stand to which Kirkland and some
