'This practically bas been ac-- somplished in the noted Colson and Ball factional warfdre in Bell county. The Colsons have had the worst of it y the surface. The latest flare in this long story of feudal troubles came the othE night, when George Colson went to the drug store in Middlesboro and found Floyd Ball therein.. Four gltm tell substantially the same story, The two men, both known for their de-- termination, began to quarrel. Then Ball is reported to have told Colson to "get out," that he did not want any trouble. & Witnesses say that then Colson reached for his pistol, but Ball, in the nomenclature of the gun user, "Beat him to it," and opened fire. Colson was taken to the local hospital, where he died a few hours later. Ball made no attempt to escape and was arrested immediately. He claimed self--defense. Feud Marked by Fairness. 'The Colson--Ball trouble is not: the average -- factional warfare in -- the mowhtains in that the Colsons and Balls are people 'of culture and pos-- sessed of wealth. It is not the case of assassinations in their fight--it 'has been generally proved to be the case that the battlers met each other abd with guns in hand fought it out, give and take fashion, with luck to the best marksman. -- _ The feud had been quiegcent, for a time, until about three years ago, when in a sudden outbreak Ira Ball shot Doyle Colson to death. The enemies champed their bits over that for a lit-- tle while and then George Colson and Ira Ball met. (There was no doubt in the mind of either man that the other meant to kill, so Jnch drew his pistol promptly, but Colson killed Ball. Then the two clans met one summer day in the Bell county courthouse at Pine ville. $ The trial in which both sides were interested was to be heard, and mem-- bers of both factions appeared early. Leaders kept the most hot--headed of the gunmen apart, but finally some one made a sharp remark. There was Riley Ball was slain. Clay Colson, college man and a clean--cut young fellow, was shot, ag were Frank Ball and John Hurst of the Ball clan. After a long court trial, during which each side. tried to place the blame on the other, Floyd Ball was given a penitentiary sentence for shooting John Hurst in the courthouse battle but Gov. E. P. Morrow pardoned him. a clash, and in a moment guns seemed to be flashing in every direction. < George Colson was sentenced to the state penitentiary for killing Ira Ball, but his sentence had been reversed and hbe was awaiting a new trial when he was killed by Floyd Ball. o Colsons' Picturesque Career. The Colsons have been,. more pic turesque than the Balls. The first of the noted Colsons was Col. David Col-- son, who 25 years ago was one of the state's leading political figures and prominent in official affairs, He was an officer in the Spanish--American war, having resigned his seat in con greas at Washington to go to war. While in his pos*flof duty Colonel Col-- son offended Ethelbert Scott, another young officer, and Scott, while the two were at Anniston, Ala., in camp, shot Colson. The latter refused to ask that Scott be disciplined, and for a time it was thougnt the i!1 feeling had blown over. Scott was a nephew of Governor, later Senator, W. 0. Bradley, Then came the political campaighn of 1809, when Senator Willliam Goebel was Democratic aspirant for the gov-- ernorship. One night Colson and Seott met in the bagsement of a hotel. Scott was shot to death, as were two or three other men.

Ac-- cording to information received by Farm Bureau of Lake county, the Illinois Agricultural Association has adopted a neutral 'attitude on the merger and has urged that al! farm organizations remain open ~minded on the proposition until a definite and concrete proposal is presented by the Board of Directors of the re-- cently incorporated company which is 'ofl\e{.lly considering the proposal. Officials point out that the American Farm Bureau Federation special committee could not do more than to scrutinize carefully the general idea and that the present Board of Directors can act officially in con-- sidering a proposal from the grain Thirty--six grain companies in the northwest also offered their holdings to the Board of Directors of the Grain Sales Company, the name un-- der which the company is incorpor-- ated. -- These 36 grain companies have 1,062 local elevators and 34 or 35 terminal elevators. Both the or-- iginal and the latter offer will be considered when the Board of Direct. ors gets the by--laws formulated and adopted.

These studies re--| 1 vealed the following facts: In some |« localities in the United States tuber--| t culosis exists among swine to a con.| : '#iderable extent due to the avian ; type of tubercle bacillus.. In othcrlc localities it appears notwithstanding , " the fact that poultry are maintained | f on the same farms, that by--far the | ; higher percentage of tubertulosis in | swine is due to the bovine type of 'organism, and gains entrance into | ( the swine through the medium of milk from tuberculous cattle or by the ingestion of food picked up in ! following the cattle in the feed lots. both of these conditions demand se-- rious consideration, but fortunately they a're conditions that can and will| be overcome.

Sta-- tistics have not supported this fear., _ As a step toward living down the charge that we are "a nation of sixth | graders" many states have passed laws requiring children to remain inl 'scohol until they have finished the |eighth grade, or until they have réeached the age of 16. Kansas and Wyoming have recently added this | requirement to their laws, In both of these states the child labor law was amended to provide that a child | not be employed until he has reached the age of 14 and has completed the eighth grade at school. Between the ages of 14 and 16 a child may work at certain occupations if he has been | granited a work permit.

During this sime period the per capita consump-- tion of milk has incrsased from 172 auarts in 1918 to 212 qua:ts in 1923. It is noteworfvy also that despite the slzughter 'of this large number of dairy animals this class of cows in the United States has increased by over a total of 1,250.000 head. It'is not belisved that the dairy in-- dustry will in any way be unfavor-- ably affected by the testing and proper : disposition-- of tuberculous cattle. On the contrary it is entire-- ly possible that the information given both the producers and consumers of milk will become a favorable factor in an improved dairy industry.

MANY INSTRUMENTS County Recorder Reports Total of 93 Deeds, Mortgages; R Much Business. A record for the number of pa-- pers filed in the county recorder's office was set one last week, when Miss Anna Botsford reported that 93 papers, including deeds, mort-- gages and other papers had been filed. The work continues at a great rate since that time and as each paper filed generally denotes the change of ownership of some pro-- perty, the removal of a mortgage, or the signing of a deed, it indi-- cates that despite the reported slackness of business there is brisk movement in real estate circles in Lake county. : A number of judgment notes however, point to the scearcity of ready money, and apparently the Lake county people are doing busi-- ness largely on credit. The number of judgement notes filed recently has grown considerably which also shows that money is searce but busi-- ness is being 'continued on a sure credit foundation. Brisk movements in the exchange of property very seldom indica'tes slack-- business and even though the filing of judgment notes denotes a scarcity of ready money, the business outlook remains very good for this community. oHaving nominated a miner for president, the Farmer--Labor Pro-- gressive outfit may be expecting a campaign of boring from withiq.---- Boston Transcript. ° Herriot also smokes a pipe.
