Falkner, in whose home the big haul was made last week, went on the stand. He admitted that seVenty-nine cases of whiskey had been found in the cellar of his home several miles in the country. He said that he didn't-know who put it there, but that Ed Kittrell rented the cellar from him, and agreed to pay him $2 a month rent for it, and had already paid the fee for one month. This agreement, he said, was made just before the car' of hay was turn ed up in Henderson. He didn't know, he said, whether Goodrich was cnmp neoDle who think that the test of loyalty to th ecountry is the length of one's face. A man can smille and still all that the nation expects of him. Not Enough. Some of our contemporaries seem to think that hanging food specula tors to lamp-posts is all right, only there are not enough lamp-posts. One War Honor Deferred. It will take at least two years of war to force dandelion greens onto the tables of some folks in this coun try. Publicity. The one thing the Government needs above all else, is publicity. A democracy cannot fight its battles be hind a cloud. All that is done must be done in the fullest publicity. If the people are to support the admin istration and the war, then the more they know about it, and the more free they are in fairminded criticism, the better it will be for all concerned. All Work.

On good rich land cornfield heans mav be nlanted between hills MWVVH. x A of corn, this obviating tne necessity of staking them by allowing mem to climb the cornstalks. Practically no evtra. cil ltivation will be needed. 2. A few more rows of snap beans should be added. This may be kept green in earthen jars by covering them in a brine made in proportion of 1 pounds of salt to 1 gallon of water. Many should also be dried and kept for winter use. 4 Field neas mav also be planted between the hills of corn and make good yields and good nutritious food. No other cultivation will be needed than that eiven the corn. 5. Farmers who have stubble land where grain is now growing should make arrangements to plant several acres in one of more of the several desirable varities of peas and beans. A small amount of commer cial fertilizer .with not over 1 per cent of nitrogen will increase the yield very much. 6. Such stubble land also is al l for sweet Dotatoes. The stubble and grasss turned under help to keep the land mellow and will help to hold the moisture. Potatoes should be a very profitable crop un der present conditions. The seed are not high in price, and then when the slips have made vines the vines can be cut for further propagation. It usually pays to apply a goodly amount of complete fertilizer to po tatoes. 7. And last, but not least, do not fail to plant one or more acres to Velvet beans that great soil renova tor and producer of humus and ni trogen. These beans may be plant ed among the corn like peas, etc. If labor is scarce in the fall the hogs may be turned in, and may even be aiinwerl to harvest the corn. Very little attention need be given- them when in a field of soybeans or Vel vet beans planted with corn.

He denied knowing wuis- key was in the cellar at the time tne government agents came there, and declared that if he had known it, he wouldn't have opened up so readily. J. T.

He said that Mr. Poythress said that he was afraid he would be "placed in a bad light about the matter," and that he wanted something done about it. J. S. Bea man, cashier at the freight office states that Ed Kittrell came in. and made the request that the car be put on Poythress' siding and that kit trell presented the bill of lading. A number of other witnesses were placed on the stand to bring out .va rious phases of the case upon which light was sought. J. E.
