A little winter should just pep us up ami whatever conies now ' we will remember the first part of this season as about as mild as any in history, that is as far back as we can go. Only a little over a thousand acres of beets are needed to meet the 12,000 acre requirement and i they should come in this week. If; you are not pledged, please do so I and it you have see if you can’t get Your neighbor to do so. ..The business office of the Arkan-[ sas Gazette, Little Rock, was robbed of $5,000 Saturday by a lone I bandit who shot the business man- > tiger. Now what we would like to | know is how in the world a news * paper ever got that much money together and who it belonged to? The merchant who lays out a I Campaign of advertising for the ■fear and follows it consistently | will i>e tile one who will pull the greatest volumn of businses during Hie year. Keep your name before the public and tell the folks what Xou have to sell. They are looking (pr your announcements daily and Will tzade where they are invited mid attracted. _ The” democrats will hold their I national convention in Chicago ! next June and that city will be well fed up, oil politics since the repub -I HcansOikewise convene there. The j vity if centrally located and well 1 prepaid *» every way to take care ul such events. Hoosiers will be ! glad that the convention is to be , so close, thus allowing them the [ privilege of attending. ~ The" democrats in congress are 1 going to pass a tariff hill. Wo don’t | Eave any idea it will ever become ft law-as the senate will probably kill iUoff and even if they don’t Mr. Hoover would likely veto it. That the tariff bill needs revision and aConce is admitted but we will probaffly not get that until a demoi;ratlc“administration is in power and in the meantime the rest of Die world will keep on making faces at us. — Now is the time to renew your suliSirtption to the Daily Democrat. The year is just starting and you wHI want the paper during this I year when many big news stories I h ill lie breaking. We are going to | furnish the items of greatest in- I t< rest to you and the one paper you I jpan not do without is the home pap- j er. If you feel you can’t take as I Tuany as you are now, remember : that yh<n yon stick to the home! japer you are being loyal and that* I always a good thing. German Remedy Stops 30-Year Constipation ’ For 30 yours 1 had a bad stompch and constipation. Souring ■food from stomach choked me Since taking Adlerika I am a new woman. Constipation is thing of the past.’ Alice Hurns. Most remedies reach only lower bowel. That Is why you must take them often. But this simple German remedy Adlerika washes out BOTH upper and lower bowel. It brings out all gas and rids you of poison you would never ‘believe was in your system. Even the FIRST dose will surprise you. D. J. Smith Drug Co.

Charles Gates Dawes has quit his job as ambassador to Great Britain and is coming home. Some predict he is io he the candidate against Mr. Hoover for the republican nomination for President. Now "hell and Maria’’ there’s an idea. Wasn't it Mr. Dawes as vice-presi-dent who went to sleep and permitted the boys to slip one over on him one day? Well, come on Charley with your underslung pipe and your breezey language and put some real pep in what looks like a rather dull campaign. Harvey Morley, newspaper man and one of the best old scouts we know, who has been fighting the battles of democracy up in Steuben , county for a score of years or more, and you know that has taken coin- [ age, lias announced that he will be a candidate for the democratic nomination for congress. He is the | third to enter the race, the others j being Mr. Farley of Auburn and i Mr. Adams of Columbia City, both) of whom are likewise'-splendid linen, fighting democrats and all-[ [around good fellows. It looks like I | an interesting contest. j Get busy boys on the road proposition. This is the time of year 1 when the state highway commission 1 ! makes their program. With prop- j er effort we could get the Willshire road improved, a new surface on [twenty-seven north from here and [ perhaps the concreting of No. 16 west. Its all important and remember that this does not increase 'taxes for the money now raised [ from gasoline taxes and license fees will be spent, if not here, then somewhere else. Its the hustlers who will get through what is allowed. ' Fred Chip of Middletown. Indiana, trying to build an organization [ for Ritchie for President in this I state, stopped here a short time Saturday evening on his way to Fort Wayne where he held a meeting. He is quite enthusiastic about the outloook and expects to line up at least a part of the Hoosier delegation. Activities at this time , how that much interest will he I manifested in the convention which will be held in Chicago in June, while the feeling in this state has [not erystalized it is believed at this time to favor Roosevelt with Baker second and Ritchie third but what ■ will happen between now and June [ is entirely a guess.

A J Household Scrapbook —by— ROBERTA LEE ♦ ♦ Dustless Duster A dustless duster can be made by dipping a clean cloth into a mixture of 2 tablespoonsful of linseed Oil and 1 pint of gasoline or benzine. Hang the cloth outside in the shade to dry befo.e using. Always keep cloth in a tin receptacle with tight fitting lid. Do not handle gasoline or benzine-near a fire. Linoleum Substitute A substitute for linoleum is to stretch a worn brussels carpet wrong side up and apply two coats of floor paint. 24 hours apart. AtIter thjp, use one or two coats of i waterproof varnish. Pie Crust To make a good pie crust, take 1 cup of shortening, butter or lard. ’2 cup of boiling water and beat until creamy. Sift in a flour mixture composed of 3 cups of flour. % teaspoonful baking powder and salt. Stir together and roll out. This makes two pie crusts. L. < AUCTION SCHOOL NEWS Col. Fred Reppe'rt returned Sun- ’ day from Nebraska and lowa where j he conducted a number of auction 1 sales the past week. He w-as in the class early in the morning full of pep and vim that is always characteristic of the Colonel. A majority of the students spent a quiet Sunday in Decatur, a few of course just had to go places. Diversion of some kind was not so hard to find and all seemed to enjoy the day. This morning the class was car-[ ried out to the Swiss Dairy farm 1 and shown a fine stock of dairy cattle at the dairy barn. Col. Roy) Johnson reviewed the judging of j dairy cattle. All the students were ealied on to sell a cow at auction! after which Col. Pettit and Bart- 1 lett, who assisted Col. Johnson. ■ demonstrated how to sell cattle at, auction. When the instructors had finished there work, Pete Lehman, owner of the Swiss Dairy Farm carried all the boys into the! milk house and there served to all ] a delicious glass of wholesome and ■ invigorating milk, a product of hl3l Guernsey stock. Mr. Lehman [ has around 65 or 70 head of cattle [ and the visit there afforded the [ boys a real opportunity to study, j The auction sale will be held to-1 night at the school as usual. o SECOND TRIAL IS DENIED BY JUDGE ERWIN ■ CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) verdict. The court is bound to ac- j cept it and will not disturb the I verdict on the weight of the evi- ( , dence." Several pages followed concern- [ ing objections to evidence as ofI sered and concludes with an opinI ion as to the artzell act of 1929 regarding the failure of the court to instruct the jury on returning a verdict for a lesser crime than murder in the first degree and finds "that to do this the court would have to have held the act unconstitutional which I do not care to do." The next four pages refer to "the error of court on instructions" as offered in the motion for a, new .trial and the court explained these I fully and gave his reasons tor his I decisions. The standing of the defendant land of Doras Werling in the comI munity was tajten up in a page of , the decision, which was held adj missible.

Dawes in Chicago PyBJHI I?! ■ 101HHE -

Besieged by reporters as he arrived in Chicago. Gen. Charles Gates ’ Dawes, retiring ambassador to Great Britain, putted at his famous ' underslung pipe as he said he wouldn’t be here long this time, but would soon he back in America again "where every American should I be!"

j [ror of the court on verdict": Error on Verdict i We now come to the only re- | maining assignment ot e ror, namely No. 88. which is in relation to, the verdict. Three jjrois have submitted af- [ fidavits to the effect that they did I not understand the verdict, or that they had the impression that the | defendant would be immediately I paroled and set free. There was I j nothing in the evidence nor in the i law read by the attorneys, nor in I the instructions of the Court that j even hinted at this kind of proceedling. 1 These jurors, including the three! j who submitted the affidavits, are: ,men of splendid character and intelligence; the Court knows them "l all and how they could have gotten this erroneous impression I do not | know. They returned into a court a perfectly legal verdict. | The recommendations attached [thereto are not to he considered as j part of the verdict and the affi[davits submitted in this motion for a new’ trial cannot be considered, except as recommendations. Jurors cannot impeach their own verdict. It has been decided by the Supreme Court that the affidavits and i evidence of jurors are not admissi ible to impeach their verdict, nor are their affidavits that they misunderstood the legal effects of their verdict admissible for that purpose, and the affidavits of jurors that I they proceeded upon corrupt or imi [ proper ground furnishes no ground [for a new trial; nor in any manner i can their affidavits or evidence i impeach or invalidate their verdict. The recommendations of the jury and the prayer attached thereto 1 ask that the defendant be not giv- :[ en the supreme penalty which I [presume means the death penalty. : tile t ourt will at least consider it ■as such. The jury further ask that

the defendant he shown the lien-1 I ject to parole. The Court is in-) (lined to follow those recommenidatious just as far as he can. but I ; I have no power to parole the de- [ Cendant; that belongs to the Gov |ernor of the State: hut I have the) (authority to refrain from imposing |the death penalty and the Court [will exercise that authority. Judgment The judgment of the Court will [be that the motion for new trial will be overruled, with the proper i exceptions by the defendant, and the Court Will find the defendant guilty as charged and as found by [the jury, and will impost* the penalty of life imprisonment, which J penalty is the same as provided by [statute for murder in the second ■ degree. .1 Mr. Everett please stand. It now becomes the painful duty II of the Court to impose the penalty prescribed by law. . | You have been ably defended. 1 Ju not / now of myone who could j have defended you better than vour . attorneys in this case. You have . [ been found guilty by a jury of your . peers and it becomes the duty of I the Court to impose sentence as . proscribed by law. j lhlv anything to say why
