HAVE HARD

It Is generally considered that the
communication the government of
China served on the governor of
Shantung Is not worth the paper It
Is written on. It la Inconvelvable,
In the mind of foreign observers,
that Shatunc could. In any manner
or means, raise the- hug* ransom,

Boxer rebellloa, realise that It ac

Miss Miane MtcFaqdsn, tile trav

The terms in which the foreign

the Chinese government apparently
signifies that the powere, unless
China acta at once, will take mat

The ultimatum stated:
'Tree all foreigners. Immediate

was sentenced to 15 years In jail
and to pay a fine ' of 100,050,000
marks Tuesday as a result of the
trial by coyrtmartial here growing
out .of the shooting at the Krupj

imprisonment each. Director Bruhn
to 10 years and Baur and Schaef

also sentenced to pay fines of 100,-

In‘his final plea the French.pros
ecutor, Captain JXivert, referred tc
the/ devastation of northern France
by the Germans during the war.
Just ns the Krupp directors, he
said, stood Inactively at their of

watched the workmen being shol
down, so had Germany’s war lordt
stood by and watched the burn
ing of villages In northern Frapce
without raising a hand.
The prosecutor based fa
against Baron Krupp von Bohlen
and the directors on two main
points: first, that prior
shootings they had arranged that
demonstrations should be hetd li
case the works were occupied ant
had propaganda material ready for
hircutatlon among the demonstrav
tioons; second, that during the
demonstrations they made no at

for tho butcher to buy . meat,

Beforo the establishment .of the
Abattoir the. demand for native

DR. KELLY

For Instance, Dr. KsUy, the, noted
physician from Baltimore, Md„ con
ducted a clinic at tbs hospital last
year and refused to take any pa
tient except a free bed pdiienL He
operated on four patient* without
any charge' whatever. All'of them
were serlbus cases and one of tht
patlenta remained In the hospital
for nine weeks before she WXa able
to go home, t>r. Kelly, tddjc a per
sonnl Interest In three patients ev
en after he returned t, Baltimore
and wrote back asking "bow are
the i deer patlenta operated up<k
getting on."
Although but four beds are pro
vided tor the free patlenta ei
many as alx have been accepted

of this kind are needed at the tum

8ALE HERE
Mr. Price urged a co-operative
■ale in Athens. “I-wish we could
get enough hogs from this section
to hold a co-operative sale. I
would bo willing to pay 1-4 cent
per pound above the market to
Mimulate production in this sec
tion/ I guarante they will be
bought by local market hen.”
Grading of hogs and cattle is
ono of tho biggest steps toward
production of pure bred stock
thinks Mr. Price. The producer ot
high grade stock Is enabled there
by to get a better price than if the
grading system was not in use and
the grower of scrub stock Is shown
that it pays to raise the best.
Mr. Price has bought three car
loads of hogs in the last six weeks.
He .praised the county agents for
their, eagerness, to help the farmer
find market for their produce
but urged that the fiirmern in this
section begin to raise more live
stoak and hogs to meet the tie -
mands of this section.
