The prosecution in the Cliftonville mine riot cases today presented affidavits intended to show "paid propagandists' throughout Brooke county are working in the interests of the 200 union miners being tried on charges of first degree murder and inciting a riot. Replying to arguments of the defense that a change of venue is made necessary by strong non-union sentiment in Brooke county Prdsecutor W. S. Wilkin told Judge J. B. Sommerville several miners arrested' at the time of the armed march on Cliftonville are being paid by the union men to "work up sentiment In favor of the indicted men." Wilkins declared hundreds of persons would testify to the truth of his charge but for the fear it would injure their social and business standing. Clippings Presented The plea for a change of venue to Ohio county was presented' by John D. Gardner, attorney for the defense. The plea, a lengthy document, included hundreds of clippings from newspapers circulating in. Brooke county. Arguments for and against the change of venue probably will be concluded late today. SPRAY METHOD USED TO PURIFY SEWAGE (By Associated Press) LAFAYETTE, Ind.. Oct. 12. One of the most important problems confronting Indiana cities is the purification of its sewage prior to disposal Sev eral methods are available for accom plishing this purpose, one of which in frequent use, sprays the liquid sewage through nozzles over beds of stone. Experiments were conducted in the hydraulic laboratory of Purdue uni versity in 1917 to determine the rela tion between actual and theoretical quantities of water passing through eight different nozzles. During the past summer extensive apparatus was designed by Prof. R. B. Wiley, acting head of the school of civil engineer ing, and built in the laboratory for study. Thirteen nozzles have been se cured. The plant consists of a pump for supplying the flor and suitable piping to a nozzle set at the center of a curvature of a quadrant of a circle of 12 feet radius and two troughs to catch the discharge passing outside, the range of the quadrant. This quadrant is in turn divided into 26 compartments, the flor from each compartment being measured separately. The pressure or head is ascertained on glass gauges. The air and water temperatures and the humidity also are recorded. For different pressure, within a range of from one to nine feet, measurements are being taken of the height, width, radial range and amount of the spray. The nozzles are rotated and raised to various elevations to determine the effort of these changes upon the measurements. East Main Friends Adopt Rales For Church Work Unanimously adopting the following set of rules and the slogan, "Do Cheerfully Everything You Are Asked To Do," the members of the East Main Street Friends church set for themselves a goal for the coming year. The rules are: Every member of the church to be visited; every member a church attender; every member of the church acquainted with every other member; double our attendance at Sunday school and church; one hundred new members before Easter; more money for foreign missions; keep the church out of debt; loyalty to the church with time and talents; loyalty to the Yearly meeting and Fire year meeting program; co-operation with other churches in the city; to put Christ and the church first all through all the year; dependence upon the Holy Spirit to reach these ideals.

RAIL TRANSPORTATION SHORTAGE IS LIMITING PRODUCTION, TRADE (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Oct. 12 Shortage of railroad transportation is so great and serious that it is not only limiting, but will for a long time continue to limit production and commerce of all kinds, Samuel D. Dunn, editor of the Railway Age, asserted at the annual convention of Associated Business Papers here today. Almost every other condition is fav orable to an increase of production and commerce, and a revival of prosperity, he declared. The present 'transportation situation was aggravated, but not created, by the coal and railway shopmen's strikes, Mr. Dunn said. The condition is due mainly, he added, to a' great industrial revival and commercial activity and to a long decline in the expansion of railroads. "Production and commerce are trying to increase as much as they did after the panics of 1893 and 1907. and after the depression of 1914 and 1915," he said. "But the capacity of the railroads has not increased within recent years as it formerly did. This is the principal reason why at the very beginning of this period of business revival, the country is confronted with a shortage of transportation that is preventing the speeding up of production in the mines, the mills and factories.

The Farm and the Farmer By William R. Sanborn

AND THEN IT RAINED , Farmers who attended a farm sale on Tuesday can tell you all about the brand of weather we enjoyed. It was just the occasion for hip rubber boots and longtailed slickers, as you waded around in the barn lots, or selected implements out in the pouring rain. One of the men who picked out Oct. 10 as the best day of the esason on which to hold a sale, was out betimes, which means mighty early, that fateful morning. Cold rain couldn't dampen his ardor and he decided that the sale should be held, rain or no rain, and so it proceeded to a finish. This particular sale was held at Reidston by Arthur Curme, and in spite of the weather a good crowd turned out and made a cleanup. One farmer, however, thought the rain a bit belated and told Arthur that "it was a wonder he hadn't held his sale three weeks earlier, "when we needed rain so badly." Among the 126 head of hogs oa offer were 25 pure-bred Poland China spring gilts which were in competitive demand and brought more money than have some of the same age at recent breed sales. In fact, all the hogs sold well; this also being true of the cattle three of which were Red Polled cows. A small bunch of sheep sold for $7 per head, and a promising cold was so greatly admired by Nate Colvin that he bid it up to $108. looked at from all angles the sale may be considerel satisfactory, as Mr. Curme stated. The net was between $2,600 and $2,700. Weddle and Hindman were the auctioneers and Frank Taylor, of the First National bank, made the settlements. The Ladies' Aid of th Phristian church at Centerville, served a satisfying rainy-day lunch to a larger crowd than they had expected as they watched the downpour. The Curme sale was not a cleanup, simply a "Reduction" sale to dispose of some surplus stock and imple ments. Various Farm Sales. The Creek Bros, offering of Big Type Polands consisted of. 50 head of spring pigs, 33 of which were gilts. The top of the sale was paid for a fine boar, which the buyer, Gilbert Orbaugh paid $49. Five of the choice gilts were purchased by Adam Eby at a cost of $36 each. Peoria, 111., wa3 rep resented at the sale and a few of the best on show have now been shipped to farmers in that vicinity. Cunningham and Stevens, living west of Lynn, held their first Duroc sale, on Tuesday. No exceptional prices were paid but a pretty nice bunch of hogs were distributed among the farmers of the neighborhood, li M. Perry paid $48 for a choice fall yearling sow, which topped the sale, Mr. Perry hails from Falmouth. Bentonville is putting on a big combination sale. A lot of good hogs of various breeds, a number of horses, quite a bunch of cattle and all sorts of things seen at a community sale will go under the hammer. The sale is set for Saturday, Oct. 14. Have Coal at Eldorado E. V. McClure, of Eldorado, says that they have all the coal they need with three cars of Kentucky coal and one car of anthracite chestnut about due to arrive. Mr. McClure reports getting three cars of anthracite last summer, including April shipments, which were divided around. He expects to sell the anthracite now to ar rive at around $15. He explains that while they have no great surplus they are dividing it so that people depend ing on him for coal will be sure to be kept from freezing. His price on est day. He said that they had boosted their price on wheat to $1.07 on this advance, and that a few farmers still have wheat in their bins. The elevator at Lynn reported both hard and soft coal in their bins, on Thursday; not a large supply, but some of two or three grades, with more supposedly in transit. Five Cars Due at Crete H- L. Welsh, manager of the ele vator at Crete, says the demand for coal is becoming urgent. He has or dered five cars of Indiana and Ken tucky coal, all of which should have arrived days ago, in fact, two cars of Indiana coal, for which he has tha bills, were expected in before Oct. 1. He al?o has bills for the Kentucky coal and has hopes of being able to quiet the. clamor for coal light soon. They have been paying $1.02 for wheat for a week or more and he reports a little grain still on some of the neighboring faims. W. B. Woodward, of Dublin, eaid: "After a five months shutdown of the mines, I can't see how we can look for cheap coal this fall, as the demand must be large right along for some time. We have a little coal here but the demand isn't heavy, nor has If been, so far. We have not done any requisition business, which is a whole lot of trouble, as we have been able to get rlong without appeals to the coal board. We now have both Kentucky and West Virginia coal in stock, not a great lot of it but a little for those who need it. We are pricing both kinds at $10.50 just now." New Paris is in shape to keep comfortably warm, according to George Richards. He has managed to get a car or so of coal from time to time and has a car of Yellow Jacket Kentucky coal in at this writing, which FOR GOOD COAL Just Call J. H.

Grain Blockade on Lakes. The Cloeeine: of fransnnrtaHnn rn the lakes is an PYnpnnfvo for farmers lustare claiming that the vessel blockade is costing farmers from seven cents to iu cents a bushel this week, and that this is the best possible argument for the constrnrtinn nt tha fit Lawrence seaway, of which the entire west is now in favor.

Craig of Duluth. executive director of the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Tidewater association, "not less than 5 cents a bushel has been deoucted from the farmer's price because of the blockade between the foot of Lake Erie and the seaboard. Today there is that same deduction and another 3 to 5 cents Is taken by the necessary raise in freight rates. NEAR EAST QUESTION IN BRITISH POLITICS (By Associated Press) LONDON, Oct. 12. The near eastern question has passed for the moment from the realms of local British politics, with the handling of the situation by the British cabinet being used by the opponents of Prime Minister Lloyd George to force him to explanations as to why he maintained an army of occupation for three years in Turkish territory. However, the foreign office is continuing arrangements for the approaching peace conference, which it appears will be held some place in Europe, with Venice again suggested. Experiments are being made to substitute clay roofing tiles for the corrugated iron so largely used for roofing in the tropics. Good
