L. B. STURKEY. Hickman Case Will Be Taken To U. S. Supreme Court SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 5.—The California Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of the law under which William Ed ward Hickman was tried and senten ced to hang fc>r the murder of 12- ycar-old Mar’an Parker of Los An geles. The decision sustained the tria' ceu:«t in Los Angeles which after £ jury trial found Hickma n sane when he committed the murder and sen tenced him to death. The opinion held that in pleading “not guilty by reason of insanity,” under a recent ly enacted provision of the state pen al code;. Hickman had not been de nied his rights as a defendant un der either the state c ; r federal con stitution as his appeal petition al leged and that hence his sentence must stand. Immediately after the supreme court’s ruling Hickman’s attorney, Jerome Walsh announced in Kansas City that the case would be appeal cd to the Sup'-cme Court of the Unit ed States. In the Mar’an Parker murder case Hickman entered only the one plea In the murder of C. Ivy Thoms, a druggist, with whicG Hickman was jointly accused with vV~elby Hunt, 17, a former pal, Hickman pleaded “not guilty” and “not guilty by reason of insanity.” He was ccmvicted, found cane and sentenced to life imprison ment in San Quent’n prison where he has bee n in condemned row since his two trials. He was sentenced to hang April 27 last, but execution was automatically postponed by his ap peal. The Supreme Count in today’s de- c’sicn sent the case back to the Lo- Angeles superior court where Hick man will be resentenced. Under the law a period of 30 days must elapse before this is done. Hickma n kidnapped and murder ed Marian Parker, 12-year-old daughter of Perry M. Parkc:». Los Angeles banker, last December. Af ter a chase up the coast to Pendle ton Ore., he was caught and brought to trial. He confessed.

Mrs. Edison Contrib utes To Bryan Mem orial University Fund DAYTON, Tenn., July 10.—A sub scription of one hundred dollars, which is the popular unit in the cam paign to build a great memorial uni versity here ’n honor of the late William Jennings Bryan, has been received from Mrs. Thomas A. Edi son, w.fe cf the great inventor, ac cording to F. E. Robinson, president of the Bryan Memorial University association. “One cf the gratifying things about the building of the university ” said Mr. Robinson. i n announcing the gift, is the large number of distinguished citizens over the nation who are con- tr buting funds and taking active part in the movement in other ways.” The total amount subscribed in the NEW ORLEANS, La., July 6.— The South’s cotton industry is to be promoted and advertised for the di rect benefit c'f the producer through a fund of approximately $750,000 which will be raised each year for the next five years by the Southside Cotton Council, an organization con ceived last year by Governor Dan Moody of Texas and made perman ent by vote of its members here to day. The council will raise the fund by an ‘assessment of 5 cents on every bale of *cotton produced in the South, including last year’s crop assessments on which the members plan to collect within the next 90 days. The coun cil took cognizance of the deplorable financial status of many of the cot ton producers by agreeing that what portion of the money could net be secured direct from the producer would be made up in contributions from bankers, merchants, cotton mill owners and allied industries, all of which are represented in the coun cil’s membership. The meeting here today was the outgrowth of conferences at JacH- son, Miss., and Memph’s Tenn., and for making the organization perman ent. Judge C. E.'Thomas, of Mont gomery, supei intendent of Alabama banks, was elected president of the council and T. W. Dav’dson of Dall as, former lieutenant governor of Texas, vice-president. Governor Moody was elected president emer itus. Each will serve three years. A secretary, manager and city in which to locate headquarters for the coun cil is to be selected by the executive committee. Incorporation papers w ll be filed in the state In which the headquarters city is located. S- Oden- heimej of New Orleans, president of the International Trade Exposition here, offered $10,000 to the council to bring the headquarters to New Orleans. No action was taken in his offer pending receipt of information from other cit es in the cotton belt. Mr. Dav’dscn, in submitting his report to the council as chairman of the committee on constitution and by-laws, set forth four objectives of the council, stabilizing of price and product’on of cctton; coordination of activities of all agencies and socie ties functioning with that objective in view and to bring in common ac cord the cotton states in the way of uniform state and national legisla tion; to conduct a study of the cot ton situation from the standpoint of supply ard demand a '.d to^ dissem inate information that will enable farmers to produce their ci'op at a prof.t, encourage economic produc tion on restricted acreage increase the food and feed supply, conserve fert lity of the soil and generally improve conditions. Vice-presidents were elected from every state : epresented at' the meet ing. They were N. H. Crenshaw. Jackson, Miss.; Dr. Bradford Knapp, of Auburn, president of Alabama Polytechnic Institute; M. L. Amor ous, Marietta, Ga.; Frank Dlrnmick Baton Rouge La; J. W. Fitzgerald, Tyler, Texas; Harvey Jordan, Green ville, S. C.; Judge Xenophon Cav- erno, New Madrid, Mo.; and T. W.

In order to re duce the temperature in the refrig erator, the ice must melt. Fish loses its fresh flavdr when kept, and spoils very easily in hot weather. Since the flavor is likely to be absorbed by other foods fish should be kept in a very tightly 1 covered dish in the refrigerator, and used as soon as possible. Here’s a good menu for summer evening party: Fruit salad’ made from lettuce, oranges, pears, peach es, cherries, and sliced pineapple, dressed with whipped cream, and garnished with nut meats, crackers spread with cottage or Roqueford cheese; iced tea or a fruittade of any kind. Watermelon can be served as a jfirst course, like fruit cup or musk- melon, for lunch or dinner. The wat ermelon should be thoroughly chill ed, then sliced, the rind removed, and the flesh cut into convenient-sized blocks which aifc piled on a plate. See that salt is at hand for those whe* like it on watermelon. Home methods of setting colors in fabrics, such as soaking them in salt water, or water with vinegar added, are of no avail. Textile specialists of the Bureau of Home Economics point out the fact that if there were any such s’mple way of securing fast colors, manufacturers would use it. Dyes, however, have greatly im proved iii recent years. If you take home a sample of the material you like, and wash it, and expose it to strong sunshire, you can tell for yourself whether the goods will be reasonably fast to water and to light. Make sun suits from your romper pattern by cutting the legs very short and trimming cut the neck and armholes as much as you can. Make the upper half of some transpaient or thin material, such as f’ne -lawn, 'ross-bar muslin, marquisette, or net. The lower part should be of print or other opaque cotton goods c5f pleas ing pattern. Make a sun hat to match, to shade the eyes. It should be light and washable. Let the chil dren play in sun suits, after they have acquired a coat of tan, on any summer day when the temperature rises above 80 degrees Farenheit. Their legs may be bare or they may wear barefoot sandals without socks. tXJ Little Talk On Thrift tive campaign COTTON WEIGHER I hereby announce myself as a cardidate for Cottdn Weigher at Plum Branch and agree to abide by the rules of the Democratic primary.

Although the earliest plant ings of soy beans can be ready for pasture about a month after seeding, it is usually desirable to allow five or six weeks between seeding and grazing. Soy beans can be ready for grazing about the middle of July or later and will furnish most of the feed until October or the first frost. The feature which soy beans have of making a new gilowth after being- grazed is a valuable one for a rota tion of feVage crops. jXt Woman and an apple are credited with having been the founder of the clothing business—but today there is danger of the business coming to al most nothing.

Carelessness Of Public Respon sible For Tremendous Des truction Of Forest Lands (By S. W. Straus. President Amcr can Society For Thrift.) Follow Recommenda tions With Sp rays In connection with the use of Bor deaux mixture as a fungicide against certain plant diseases, the question sometimes comes up, “Can i people truly thrifty will not want I • afford tc econom'ze by using a I only burn forests that have taken At this season of the year when residents of cities and towns are getting out into the country places and when ihe woods and mountains a’c being invaded by automobile tourists and picnickers, it is well to v ing to pubi c attention the fact that carelessness upon the part of these pleasure seekers is each year collecting a gigantic toll. According to the United States Forest Service there has been an average of 51,000 forest fires in the United States every year for the past decade. The average aiea swept by fires each vear is 15,000,000 acres of which 11,800.000 acres have been ’forest land. This means that during the last decade no less than 118,000,000 acres - of woodland has been destroyed by f’re. This average annual damage has cost $20,000,000 in addition to the damage done to young trees and buildings located on these lands. It is said by those in the Forest Service that about 90 per cent of these fires have been caused by care less persons. Carelessness ’is an- cthe:< name for lack of thrift.

The press, the radio, the pul pit and every other medium for the dissemination of information and opinion should be made use of in bringing the public to realize the shame and disgrace of the present situation.
