LETTERS INTRODUCED IN STANFORD DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS MONDAY Mrs. Maude Stanford was asked to produce certain letters in court Monday afternoon, written to her by he husband, Roscoe Stanford, and Mr. L. H. Stanford during the spring of 1913 when her husband was in a private sanitarium in Cincinnati, by Attorney Pigman in the resumption of the hearing in the Stanford divorce case before Judge Bond in Wayne circuit court Monday morning. The demand by Attorney Pigman came shortly before the noon recess and was preceded by a strenuous cross examination during the whole morning. Mrs. Stanford was first asked whether she had these letters in her possession. She stated that she was not sure but thought it very possible that she did have. She was also asked about a letter written by L. H. Stanford, father of the defendant, on May 8, or the day immediately following the taking of Roscoe Stanford from the sanitarjum in Cincinnati by his father. Letters Exhibited Numerous letters were exhibited to the court Monday morning by the defense in cross examination and Mrs. Stanford was asked to identify them. There were addressed to her husband at Cincinnati. All were dated in 1913. i Each one expressed solicitation as to j his welfare. Most of these were addressed "My dear husband" and concluded with some form as "Yours affectionately, Maude," or "Lovingly yours, Maude." Attorney Pigman asked Mrs. Stanford whether these forms of greetings were sincere. In answering this the witness took occasion to equivo. cate her remarks. "He was the father of my children," Mrs. Stanford stated. He was my husband. He was in a hospital, a nervous and sick man, and I did not want to discourage him. No matter what my attitude might have been, I would not discourage a sick man. To a certain extent, the terms of endearment were true." Gives Same Answer After the reading of every letter, Mrs. Stanford was asked: "To what extent were you sincere or insincere to your husband in these letters?" The same answer was returned by the witness. A letter from the head of the Cincinnati sanitarium to Mrs. Stanford was exhibited, in which it was stated that on April 19, 1913, Mr. Stanford had concealed a table knife in his clothing at dinner, and in the afternoon, while the nurse was absent from his room, had tried to cut his throat. The letter stated that the attempt was unsuccessful. Tho HefpnRP then took UD the auestion of Mrs. Stanford's opposition to the taking of Roscoe Stanford from the sanitarium at Cincinnati. She stated that the first she knew that her husband had been taken from the sanitarium was by word received from Mrs. George Hart. She then testified that she had called L. H. Stanford over the phone, and that an altercation had arisen over the bringing of Roscoe to Liberty. Asks About Statement Question. "I'll ask you if it is not a fact that you told Father Stanford over the phone, that if he brought Roscoe to your home at Boston you would have both Roscoe and Father Stanfor arrested?" A. I did not. Q. Didn't you go to the bank In Boston and draw a check for $300 on your husband's account and instead of going to see your sick husband whom you knew to be at Liberty, leave for Ft. Wayne? A. No. Q. Where did you go? A. To Richmond. Q. Did you make any inquiry as to your husband's physical condition? A. No. Q. Where did you go after you left Richmond? A. To Ft. Wayne. Q. I'll ask you if it is not a fact that you kept yourself hifl until June 29, 1913? A. I did. Q. Do you have the letter written you by Mr. L. H. Stanford on May 8, the day after Roscoe was brought from the sanitarium to Liberty? A. I am not sure, I may have. Q. Will you produce it in court this afternoon if you have it? A. I will. Court then adjourned until 2 p. m. L. H. Stanford, father of the defendant, was again in court Monday morning. He was overcome with the heat last Tuesday and unable to attend the hearing the rest of last week. With the introduction of testimony at the present rate it is predicted that the hearing of the remainder of the case will require all this week. The plaintiff has several other witnesses to introduce, and the defense has not started its case. STILL USE GRAIN CRADLES. (By Associated Press.) MORGANTOWN, TV. Va., July. 11.

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

Fertility is a by-product of good farming. Good farming is a combination of science and art, with well directed effort. All stock farms and dairy farms should have one or more silos." Moreover, any farm that can afford a silo can afford a bath room," says our old friend John Cloverseed. Thirty-seven county agents attended the culling school of the Ohio university, to gather the latest information on how to eliminate the unprofitable egg producers. Poultrymen were present from all parts of the state. All butter markets are now very firm and the price tendency is upward. The hot weather has produced a scarcity of fancy x;ades and the consumption has been holding up in all cities. The prices on 92 score butter are 37 cents at Chicago and 3Sc in New York. Bbston is wholesaling this grade at 39 cents, today. These figures are much higher than ruled a few weeks ago. Supplies are light, so far as daily receipts are .concerned. Receipts of Georgia peaches are increasing and prices have been on a declining scale at consuming markets during the past week. Very Dry at Brookville. Reports are that Brookville, Ind., and the near-by farm territory, is suffering for lack of rain. Mr. W. D. Arnold, of Richmond, drove down that way last week and states that vegetation is all stunted, and that the hillsides in that hilly section are as brown and bare as in October. Corn shows but little growth and most of the tobacco noticed is yellow. Not only so but it frequently shows that there has been no material growth since the transplanting. On returning by the way of Bath in the valley district very different conditions were noted, said Mr. Arnold. They seemed to have had plenty of rain around Bath and the crops and gardens are flourishing. "Brookville was the driest spot in our circuit," said he. Wheat Threshed for 62 Cents. Some Preble county farmers are getting wheat threshed at six and onehalf cents. We understand that prices vary in different parts of the coitity according to agreement. The liberal crop estimate issued by the gVernment after the close of the market on Friday caused the decline in grain prices on Saturday. But regardless of estimates made July 1 we are to have a weather market on wheat from now on until spring wheat is harvested, and should we have a dry August in the corn belt, we will have also a weather market on corn. Average Live Stock Prices. The estimated average weight of hogs received at Chicago last week was 27 pounds. This is just one pound lighter than the ten year average. The average prices for the week were: Hogs, $9.20; cattle, 7.65; sheep, $4.90; lambs, $10.55. Average price on hogs for the same week in 1920 was $14.80, and on catte $15.40. With 43,000 hogs at Chicago on Monday morning the top advanced 20 cents to $10.10. Where River Shannon Flows. The river Shannon is the largest stream in the British Isles, but owing to long continued drought is in danger of drying up. It is now so low that it is possible to walk across it. Both Irish and Engish crops are being damaged from the heat and lack of rain. France, too, has had a pretty dry season, and the yield of wheat ner acre. is falling below the estimates. The eyes of the buying world are now turned to the United States and Canada. Should anything serious hap pen to tne great spring wheat crops there is no telling what might happen to prices during this crop year. But regardless of that, the world has use for all the wheat grown in 1921. The surprising thing as the present writer sees it, is that wheat prices are not higher right now. It isn't that we have too much wheat in the word, but LIVESTOCK PRODUCER ATTACKS TARIFF BILL CHICAGO. July 11. Everett C. Brown, president of the National Live Stock Exchange, has issued the following statement: "A direct blow is delivered at the American ive stock producer by the permanent tariff bill now before congress, which places duties on articles required by the stockman, but puts on the free list cattle, hides and certain other live stock products. "I can not believ e that congress will be partial to the shoe manufacturer at the expense of the live stock producer. Hides are selling below the prices prevailing before the war. Shoes are not so selling, as the consumer well knows. Live stock values, like wholesale meat prices, have been deflated to such an extent that the producer has been battling with actual ruin. Live stock prices are back to a prewar basis. "Under such circumstances, is it not incredibe that congress will pass without amendment a bill which proposes a tax on the metal shoes the farmer has to buy for his horses, mules and oxen and then puts hides and certain other live stock products on the frea list. Lower Than in 1914. "If any commodity needs tariff protection hides need it. Heavy native steer hides, Coloiado native steer hides and branded cow hides were all selling in 1914 for about 50 per cent more than the price they are bringing this week."
