Wilkenson, an Ogden newspaper man, identified the farewell letter signed Gladys" which he had secured from Mrs. Alexander. The part that Lois played am which she related frankly and unfalteringly upon the witness stand was the part of an undaunted little girl who braved the slayer and his smoking revolver in the presence of two step-fathe- of his victims. She him not to shoot had admonishe again, although he turned the gun might easily have upon her. The first act of the tragedy was written in the youthful marriage of Delbert Green and Gladys Swindle when both were under 17. Since that time their married life had been blurred by jealousy.

It is good to know that at la3t you have obtained for them some degree of that tender care which they have so rightly earned. The efforts of your great and patriotic , national commanders, particularly those we know best, James A. Drain, Edward E. Spafford, 'aul McNutt, and O. L. Bodenhamer, to accomplish that end have been long and arduous and are worthy of praise. 1You who returned, strong and able, accepted no discharge, and your serves is far from finished. In you "ought to perpetuate a government nobly devised to preserve good will and peace and tolerance among its citizens and the safety of their property and their lives and freedom, and now in peace the fight goes on. Tolerance has given way to bigotry and rlgotry boldly says, 'The will of the people shall no longer rule.' Thus law has become a hateful thing, disrespected in its purpos es and despised in its enforcement. Tyranny has bred corruption, and corruption has fostered crime until there is no peace nor freedom r.or safety through out the land. You have enlisted in the conflict against the rule of blind and headlong prejudices. Unselfishly, heroically you have dedicated yourselves to the cause of right and freedom, and I, for one, feel confident you will win that fight as you won the other. 'There is so much to do; so little done.' 'In peace as in war you still serve on. For all you have suffered and ac complishcd, and for all you propose to do, your countrymen, and I among them, owe you a debt of everlasting gratitude. It is customary, in military bodies, to award decorations for bravery or courageous and heroic conduct in action. I have no such qualification, am keenly conscious that 1 have done little to deserve, the kindly consideration you have given me. Those small things I have done for you have repaid me many times in the doing, have but tried to shew you in some measure my sympathetic understanding of what you did. I know no greater gratification than to be greeted as a friend by thoBe respect and esteem. The honor you have bestowed on me tonight, I prize most dearly because I feel that in conferring it you have made me, in a measure, one of you your comrade.

There was about the same decrease reported for the total number on feed in the western states. A decrease of 14 per cent is reported in the number of feed in the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. The movement of Stocker and feeder cattle, inspected through markets, into the corn belt states for the six months, July 1 to December 31, 1929, was about 2 per cent larger than in 1928, 14 per cent larger than in 1927 and about the same as the five-yeaverage movement. The movement this year was unusually late; this year 63 per cent of the six months total moved in the last three months, compared with only 54 per cent last av year and 59 per cent the ten-yecrage. The average weight of stocker and feeder steers shipped from four lead ing markets was a little heavier this proportion of year than last, hut the heavy feeders (over 900 pounds), was smaller, and there was a large increase in feeder calves. The number on feed January 1, 1930, in the different states of the com belt, as per cent of the number January 1, 1929, is given below: Ohio 104, Indiana 95, Illinois 98, ng and Night is easy to find and convenient, too, at n Garage because it is in Poverty and the firing are the weapons that are forcingsquad 125,000,-00- 0 peasants to bow obediently before the racketeer rule of Soviet Russia.

In plain American, bossiaki, " explains Mr. Hammond, means village bums. In old Russia a bossiak was s barefooted hobo a tramp without shoes. From this usage the plural, bossiaki, came to be employed as general term of opprobrium denoting yeggs, and other vagrant riffraff of the worst description. Now the Soviet state has placed Russias agricultural population entirely under the thumb of these 'bossiaki.' Grandfather Pappin outlined the life of the bossiaki- - the official bums. 'In our villages, he said, they ran everything. They were the town con' stables, the postmasters, school committeemen, insurance agents, news paper editors and so on Grandfather Pappin offered me a picture of gang ster rule developed to heights of audacity such as our American racketeers never have dreamed of attain ing," says Mr. Hammond. THE OGDEN POST HAS MOVED ITS OFFICE TO A Great Storm; Great Benefits The storm which has been holding the rocky mountain region in its grip for the past four days has extended as far south as Los Angeles and west into the northern valleys of California. Most all the roads in the state of Nevada are snow bound, and the snow is reported 'from a few inches to six feet in depth. The only road open out of Reno on Wednesday morning was the one which leads into California by the way of Susanville, and that was blanketed with from four to six inches of snow. Colorado reports additional snow and extremely cold weather. Montana appears to be maintaining her record as the coldest place in the west, although Wyoming is not far behind. Temperatures are reported in Montana four degrees above to 32 below. In Utah the storm has been raging for almost a week in intermittent spurts, but all the trunk line highways are reported open. Cedar City reports temperatures as low as 12 degrees below zero. In Salt Lake valley the storm has been general, with from six to twelve inches of snow fall, and in the mountains the fall is considerably heavier. The prospect for ample water supply during the irrigation season has been vastly improved although the snow in the mountains is yet below Michigan 90, Wisconsin 115, Minne- normaL sota 115, Iowa 104, Missouri 85, South California, Nevada and southern Dakota 100, Nebraska 98, Kansas 96, Utah have been experiencing drought conditions for the past four or five corn belt (weighted) 99.1.

Mr. Hammond, in an article in the current issue of Liberty magazine quotes Tappin thus: The communists have thrown our land and our homes away to a pack of village loafers who used to be known by such names ns Pete the Beggar and Ivan the Drunk. They wont work. They wont let others work. No one who does not cheat and lie and waste can hope to get on with the communists. They have made all profitable work a crime. They have spoiled the schools. They punish holy worship. They are driving the peasants to desperation. After the war we went to southern Russia. The soil was rich there. The wheat grew tail. Crops were good. At the end of the fourth harvest we owned three horses and three pairs of oxen. Then our troubles began. Because we were able to keep three horses and three pairs of oxen the village communists denounced us as a family of capitalists. They callec us kulaks." A kulak in old Russia was a wealthy fanner of the land mortgage-foreclosin- g snatching, type. But in Moscow's new language of the proletariat this word applies to any peasant who dares work for his own interests. There are many independent farmers like ourselves. It was not long before this spirit of independence began to frighten the communists They shot many. The name "kulak was signal enough for a red army NOW PLAYING Adults Arthur Moore Gwilliam, IS, son of Harry C. and I a ah Moore Gwilliam, died at his home in West Point Monday evening of pneumonia.

T. Sweet, of the United States department of egriculture. This situation arises from the fac that apple trees do not grow well, produce abundantly, or live as long as they should on soil that has a tight subsoil. Wherp there is an open sub-so- il the trees send their roots deep down into it for moisture and plant' food. In order to make use of the level areas, growers have often selected orchard sites which have a tight subsoil when there was plenty of the more desirable land near by. In a study of the relation between subsoil conditions and growth of apple tiees in the Ozarks, Mr. Sweet old tree often found that a commands the moisture and plant food of at least 5,000 cubic feet of soil if the subsoil is open and porous. He also found that root diseases are in many places an accompaniment of bad subsoil conditions. Good cultivation, fertilization, and disease control may seem to overcome the handicap of a tight subsoil when the orchard is young, but cannot overcome it as the trees become older and their demands for food and water increase, Mr. Sweet concludes. than on January their jungle in "Tarzan the Ex-IIobo- es Open Subsoil Best For Apple Trees 1, 1930, re- Universal's sensational new play, with sound, the first episode of which, "The Call of the Jungle, now playing at the Ogden theatre.
