STRAYER WILL ASK PARDON FOR BOYS

Attorney to Seek Freedom for Curtiss Brothers of Kentucky Governor.

BELIEVES TODD GUILTY

Plans to free the two Curtiss boys serving life sentences in the Kentucky state penitentiary, for a murder alleged to have been committed by Budd Todd of College Corner, Ind., will begin Wednesday when Attorney Frank Strayer will leave for Winchester, Ky., to secure a brief of the trial , which resulted in the sentencing of the two boys, who claim they are innocent. When Attorney Strayer has secured the required information at Winchester, he will go to Frankfort, the state capital where he will present evidence showing that Todd committed the murder to James Garnett, attorney general of Kentucky. Strayer is confident of success in bringing about the release of the Curtiss boys. They have served five years having been convicted on circumstantial evidence of the murder of Mrs. Mollie Abbott, an aged woman who was found dead after all traces of the murderer had disappeared. Todd's own admission to his sisters will be used as a basis to secure the freedom of the Curtiss boys. Strayer expects to return here Saturday although he will stay in Kentucky until he secures a pardon from the governor of the state for the young men who were sentenced wrongly, he says. He believes that the facts in the case will warrant a grand jury investigation at Winchester, Ky. Todd's sisters admitted to Strayer the latter says, when he was seeking evidence to disprove Todd's testimony In the case against Owen Terry, charged with being an accessory before the fact in the murder of Constable Richardson of College Corner, that Todd had often spoken of murdering Mrs. Abbott and that he knew the Curtiss boys were tried and convicted of the charge.

was Milton's custom to take the mon-. ey from the drawer and show it to his grandchildren as an example to them, hoping it might bet an incentive to j save their own earnings. Nellie had j often seen him get the money out and ; put it away. Friday evening the Milton girl told i

Delia Slater, another colored girl, she wanted her to go with her to William Milton's home for some clothes, which she was afraid he would not let her take away. She instructed the Slater girl to ask for a drink of water. While she and Milton were out of the room, Nellie said she would get the clothes and run. Steals Money.

STATE AGRICULTURE STILL OH ADVANCE

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct. 27. "Indiana's agriculture, is still advancing and we have good reason to be proud of the success being attained every day in every phase of the educational work connected with this advancement. The county agent work and the club work provided for by the last legislature clearly show the trend of the times the spreading of the gospel of better agriculture to old and young alike, so that its benefits may be lasting and personal," said Prof. G. I. Christie. "Agricultural Education is not a new movement in Indiana," he showed. "It started at least as long ago as 1879, when the College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts was instituted. However, a time came when the people demanded that agricultural education be extended so that larger numbers might be reached. "This need was emphasized by the gradual waning of soil fertility and an attendant decrease in crop yields. The high cost of living, due to increasing population, played no small part in the movement for better agriculture. Then, too the price of land, demanding profitable returns from every acre in order to return a fair profit, had to be considered. The migration of country boys and girls to the city showed a material decrease in rural population, and there was just basis for worrying concerning the outcome of the existing conditions." Farmers have appreciated the value of the experiments carried out yearly by the Purdue Experiment Station, and as a result of their application have been able to increase their yields

wonderfully. In a recent corn contest

in Randolph county, in which 38 far

mers participated, each growing 5 acres of corn, a yield of 110 bushels per acre was reached. The six farmers in Randolph county who received premiums each grew more than 100 bushels per acre and this in a state where the average yield is less than 40 bushels per acre. "A study of the methods used by the farmers in this contest will show that they did not employ any practice which could not be used in every other county of Hoosierdom. The teaching of Purdue's agricultural principles in the rural and town schools, provided for by recent legislative action, will enable farmers in all parts of Indiana to get in direct touch with the aggressive movement, and place Indiana where she rightfully belongs at the head of the corn growing states."
