Willie Deffendoll, 17, held with his brother Dolly, 22, for the murder of their 70-year-old mother, Mrs. Martha Deffendoll, confessed to officials at Boonville that he shot and killed her, it was announced at noon today. According to the story, which Willie told Coroner Kriekhaus, he and his mother, were walking through the woods in search of squirrels when the hammer of his gun struck against a tree and discharged a shot through his mother's back. Mrs. Deffendoll, wounded, fell on her side. Then she turned over on her face, according to the story drawn from Willie. "I didn't want her to suffer," Wil lie said, "so I up and shot her again. That didn't kill her so I shot her again in the neck." Quarreled Over Job. Willie hurried to his home and then took refuge in Boonville. He set the date of the shooting as Friday, July 22,and said it occurred at 8 o'clock in the morning. According to Willie's confession he had had an argument with his mother on the day preceding the shooting because he had returned from Boonville without a job. "She fussed at me," he said simply. Willie's confession clears up the mystery as to who shot Mrs. Deffendoll but his accidental version of the shooting is not given much credence by officials of Boonville. "An affidavit will be against him this afternoon," Coroner Kreikhaus said. "It will not be an accident charge. I do not believe he has told all that he knows."

That our membership be cautioned to refrain from communicating to one another any statements or rumors that tend to cast reflection upon the work and christian status of any meeting or any group or any individual member. 3. That our members be admonished to look for and dwell upon the best
in our meetings and in one anothers recognizing the limitations that are common to, us all and realizing that only in this way can we maintain a genuine church unity and a real loyality to our Christ. 4. That all ministers and teachers be encouraged to study to show themselves approved of God and of the church for whom they speak to deliver thier message in language that will not be misunderstood and thus save themselves and the church from embarrassment and disrepute. Winchester Urge. Winchester quarterly meeting urged
the meeting to "re-declare its acceptance of the Richmond Declaration of Faith and George Fox's letter to the governor of Barbadoes as printed in the uniform discipline."

The Farm and The Farmer. By William R. Sanborn
Should, you happen to trek over the Hagerstown and Cambridge City pike right now at the opening of the season for home grown water melons, you may discover a seven-acre patch of them. There is also quite a patch of breakfast melons adjoining, which will soon be ripe. A. L. Gentry, owner of these patches, said that a whole lot of autoists stopped for watermelons on Saturday. This is the largest melon acreage in this section, 'so far as we know. Home grown melons, should take the edge off of present high prices of the shipped-in-article, on which freight charges are so heavy. Little has been said anent the county agent fracas in this department, not because we are not interested, but because it is a matter of such general interest, that our reports have been forming separate and interesting stories, from day to day. Not only our farmers, but the people in general want to know all about this, contention. ' Duroc Men to Picnic The duroc hog men and farmers of Shelby county are to picnic on the fair grounds on Thursday, August 18. Robert J. Evans, secretary of the American Duroc association, will be one of the speakers. , This is the farm picnic season. The farmers of Union township, Rush county, held a picnic on the Harry Mc1 Millin farm on Friday, at which John !G- BFown' of Monon' was the PrinciPal speaker. Reduction in Grain Rates. Freight rates on grain, flour and feedstuffs, for export from the central freight association territory, of which Chicago is the" heart are to be reduced 1 cents per hundred pounds, effective inside of ten days. Eastern rail roads made a voluntary cut of 25 per jcent or export and gra5n pn ducts last week. This new rate is effective only from lake ports east, such as Buffalo to the seaboard, and only affects cargoes for export. It is now expected that rates will shortly be reduced on all grain flour, whether sold for export or for domestic use. What Railroads Say. Railroad- offic als aver that "the cost of transportation service at the present time does not justify the heavy reductions which the carriers will make in export grain rates," the roads' announcement read. "Nevertheless, these reductions have either been decided upon or are under discussion as a result of the plea of the farmers and others for a readjustment of existing rates." Armour's Arbitration Plan. An arbitration plan affecting 30,000 Armour employes in all parts of the country, was adopted at Chicago last week. This is their first trial of industrial democracy and it is expected that this new plan of settling controI versies a3 they arise will be extended iu uiuer piauis m me inausiry. ine Armour meeting was attended by employes from 10 plants, who came as delegates. The new arbitration plan agreed to at the conference provides that should

any dispute between the packers and their employes reach the stage where it cannot be adjusted by the general conference board, an arbitrator shall be appointed who will investigate the matters in dispute and whose findings shall become final and binding. Corn Root Rot. Some serious cases of corn root rat has been discovered in the Bloomington, 111. district. One field shows 10 to 12 acres almost ruined by thi3 disease. The roots are almost entirely rotted off and the stalks are mostly down, and many of them are earless. Complaint is made that infested fields were planted with rough, starchy seed, and nonresistant to the rot. The farm bureau of Ford county have a smooth, oily seed which is represented as resistant to rot and are
testing that variety out this year. No complaint of root rot in this section has been made so far this season. Threshers in central Illinois complain that rains have interferred with threshing more this year than in several seasons. It is said, too, that some of the damp grain has moulded in the bins. Grain and Hogs Higher Grain and live stock markets were active and higher on Monday. Wheat at Chicago advanced 2 cents over the close on Saturday, and corn of a cent within the first hour. Indianapolis hogs were 50 cents higher than Saturday's top by 10:00 o'clock, at which time best lights scored $11.85. At the same time Chicago hogs were selling at $11.50 against a top of $11.15 on Saturday. Chicago reported 31,000 and Indiana polis 5,000 hogs received on Monday morning. The rains which fell on Saturday night and Sunday forenoon, did a world of good. Farmers with earl corn now well along feel that with favorable ripening weather that part of their crop is made, regardless of future rainfall. Late corn will need more rain, but has made wonderful recovery and city lawns and gardens have been greatly benefitted. Milton Farmers Meet at Grange Hall Taesiay MILTON, Ind Aug. 8.

TELESCOPE EVIDENCE CONVICTS INCENDIARY
WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. In July 1921, Alonzo E. Dole, a professional land locator operating in the Siusla country for years, was convicted In the United States District Court at Portland, Oreg., on the charge of wilfully setting forest fires on the Siuslaw National Forest. He was sentenced to four months in the Multnomah county jail, and his application for a new trial was denied. Dole had long been suspected by officers of the forest service of the United States department of agriculture, of wilfully setting fires on tin? Siuslaw National Forest, but owing to the sparse settlement of the great forest area and conseauent lack of witnesses, and the further fact that by long practice he had mastered the trick of flipping a burning match in the brush along a road or trail, even on horseback, efforts to obtain evidence against him were long unsuccessful. The curcumstance liT connection with Dole's arrest and conviction were somewhat unusual. As shown by the evidence, one of the witnesses was trying out a new telescope by watching occasional, passers-by on a road a few hundred yards away. While so doing, he saw Dole, who was riding by. on horseback, strike matches and flip them, while burning, into the dry ferns and brush along the roadside, thus starting fires. . OAT CROP IN OHIO IS ALMOST FAILURE COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 8 Wile oats have been a disappointing crop thi year at each stage of growth of the crop, so that the outlook just before threshing was for little better than one-half a crop, yet it remained for threshing returns to make the cro; appear to be almost a failure. Reports only confirm what was said in the weekly notes and the grain is extremely light. Those sections of the state in which there were many fields of corn which were planted late or which for any deason had not progressed too far towards maturity, will be greatly benefitted by the rains. All corn will tv ImnrovpH hut fields that wprp far jrivanced in growth cannot show great improvement. It is as yet too early to estimate the extent of the benefit from the rains. Pastures are generally showing a renewed growth. A Paint for Every Surface ACME QUALITY PAINT Dennis Implement Co. 15-17 S. 7th St.
