O. W.iRighter, an Indian farmer, reports that he placed well-matured ,corn in a concrete silo 14 years ago and emptied the bottom of the silo last July. Mr. Righter says the only difference he was able to detect’ be- tween the 14 and the 1-year-old silage was that the former was slightly more acid than the latter. The cattle ate old and new silage alike. A very im- portant fact in connection with the silage keeping so well is that the corn was ripe when it was placed in the silo. Incidentally the silo was a home- made one, the base of which was 5 feet below the surface of the ground _ Mis Clark to Wed June 30, Washington, D.

Get out! I don’t want no thanks!” There never was the scratch of a ven to prove the gift. “Missouri John” enver liked the formality of pa- pers, When he gave a man anything, or agreed to do anything, that ended it. His word was out, and it was bet- ter than all the “paper writing” in the world, But as the years rolled on ill health came, he thought about his gift to his Poor friend. So the day before he went to St. Louis for treatment “Mis- souri John’. stepped in to see his law- yer. “Fix up a deed for that bottom fifty to Haney,” he directed; “I'll sign when I get back.” < “Missouri John” came back, but it was in a casket. The deed to his friend had never been made. _ The matter was called in. court Tuesday. The executor might. have demanded that he be shown Haney’s title, and he could have put up a stiff hight, but he dign’t do anything of the sort. He simply took the stand, stat- ed that “Missouri John” had promised to give Haney the land, and requested ‘the court to vest title as requested, FAMOUS WILL CASE ON TRIAL Suit Against Heirs of the Late James Campbell Proceeding Slowly at St. Louis.

Reed, private secretary of Mr. Campbell, intended to show the devotion of Mr, Campbell for Lois, now Mrs. Elzey Burkham, whose par- entage is the vital issue in the trial. In a will which alluded to Lois as his daughter, Campbell gave her and his widow, Mrs. Florence Campbell, his en- tire estate valued at $16,000,000. Con- testants of the will claim that Mrs. Burkham is only the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell and therefore not entitled to a life interest in half the estate.
