That the United Slates faces an era
of continued and increasing agricul
tural prosperity, which will be made
nip re and more permanent as practi
cal business methods particularly in
the way of cooperative marketing, are
applied, was the prediction of V. S.
Secretary of Agriculture W,. M. Jar
dine made this afternoon at a lunch

the guest of Brigadier Oenerul George
A. White and stuff of the Oregon Na
tional Guard. , w . -'.V.
Mr. Jnrdlne said 'hV lffiTl ; excellent
reports from nearly all the agricul
tural regions of the country, with the
exception of some of ; the 'Rocky
HON. V. M. JAKDINK,
V. S. Scri-etai' of Agriculture
fountain states, and that he believed
that the agricultural depression thru
which the United States, had passed
had served as a needed lesson of the
danger of over expansion and the
special need of improving the meth-

ods of merchandising agricultural
products.
f "The government can't and doesn't
X Intend to try to leglslate'proflts into
i the pockets of the farmer. Jt can't
J be done. But the government can
and does intend to give the-farmer
something he hasn't had, equal op
i portunity with other business men, so
(that he can make money for himself.
Conditions now are good, vastly Im-
proved over what they were a few
years ago and in my judgment they
will continue to improve."
Mr. Jnrdlne. pronounced by the
way with a long I, proved to be a
man of great personal charm, and his
speech was full of humor, and little
personal allusions particularly to his
brother, J. T. Jardine, who sat beside
him, all of which made a great hit
with the men assembled Including In
addition to the officers of the Nation

preparation for the court battle.
Mr. Darrow, Mr. Colby and other
attorneys for the defense of J. T.
Scopes, indicted science teacher, have
just concluded conferences in Knox-
vllle. Mr. Darrow departed for Chi
cago and the former secretary of state
for New York, while Dudley Field
Malone returned to Dayton, stopping
off In Chuttanooga long enough to give
a public statement of his views on tril
issues.
Mr. Colby, whose statement was is
sued In behalf of all members of the
defense staff, characterized the
"shocking and abnormal chartcter of
the legislation," involved, "as one of
the most serious questions which could
possibly arise to challenge the ability
of the citizenship to rational self gov

ficulty in holding with devotion to
Christianity, and so to evolution.
"I have come to Tennessee to Inter

he ald.
The country Is suffering from "good
people," who in their ignorance feel
orduined to save the rest of us who
stand In no need of their ideal of sal

that he believed "an excess of. Mr.
Bryan and the psychology of people of
that type." would help clear the air
"for straight thinking."

GERM CASE
ARGUMENTS
END TODAY
Night Session Ordered for the
State's Plea Shepherd Is
Worried Defense Counsel
Explains Discrepancies and
Statements By Accused.'
rilHWGO, June 25. (A. P.) The
Shepherd murder trial probably will
be concluded with a session tonight.
Judge Thomas J. Lynch and the law
yers for both sides tentatively agreed
to such a step at a recess conference
in chambers this morning.
The first Jury plea In behalf of
Shepherd was continued toduy, by
William Scutt Stewart, chief of de
fense counsel. lie spoke for more
than two hmirs yesterduy and said
this morning he would require all of
the forenoon and probably would con
tinue talking this afternoon.
The indicated length of his argu
ment set back the probable time of
the case going to the Jury. ' f
After Stewart concludes, V. W.
O'Brien, his nsHociute, will close for
the defense. Robert E. Crowe, state's
attorney then will close fur the prose
cution. Shepherd entered the court room
this morning with his face showing
distinct marks of worry. He seemed
more careworn than at any time since
he uccused of using typhoid germs to
murder his millionaire foster son,
William Nelson MctMlntock.
Stewart took up the manner of the
making of Billy McClintock's will and
scored that as a point in Shepherd's
favor. .
"If he had been nursing the boy
along to slay him. wouldn't he have
gotten someone else to druw the
will?" asked Stewart. "That Is one
of the points he is going, to have to .
explain 1nthe probate court in the
will flght He must face it. But If
he had been trying to preparer tor an
alibi, wouldn't he have had somebody
else draw the will so as to cast sus
picions from him." .
Stewart took up the testimony of
many witnesses In the trial and
analysed it from his viewpoint for the
jury.
The latter Shepherd wrote to Miss
Ksteele Dehling, a young nurse with
whom he once was friendly "was Just
a letter to a girl," Stewart suld, even
though Shepherd wrote that he was.
bunkrupt, bad no plans and probably,
would close bis office und drift awuy
from It all.
Shepherd's statement to the young
woman that he had asked Billy toj
give him u valuable piece of property; .
was not In keoplng with his alleged'
plun to kill the youth and get It all,'
Stewart said.
"Never mind about Willie, he will
come out of this with his,' pockets
flllod," a statement uttiibuled to
Shepherd seventeen yenrs ugo, while
he was examining Mrs. McClintock's
Texas property, was called a reference
to the money making possibilities of
a project rather than a step in a mur
der plot.
Stewart admitted that Shepherd hud
said to a newspaper reporter that he
hurried home to throw out of the
house anybody who tried to marry
Billy. He pointed to that as an Illus
tration of fatherly Interest rather than
a desperate effort to prevent a mar
rlage which would nullify the will in
which Billy had left Shepherd the
$1,000,000 estate.
Stewart laid great stress upon F&f
man's statement that he gave Shep
herd three tent tubes of bacilli, -'one
of paratyphoid A and one of para
typhoid H," and that he had not Bald
he gave him typhoid germs. '
The omission of a confession that
he had given Shepherd "typhoid"
germs was made Intentionally so that
IT the state's attorney ever brought
Palmun to trial he would have a de
fense, Stewart shouted.
At the luncheon recess Judge Lynch
announced court would adjourn at 4:30
P. M. as usual. There had been talk
of holding court In continuous session
until the jury returned a verdict.
Indications were the case would be
given the jury before noon tomorrow.
Stewart closed his address at 3:30
P. M. after having talked nearly six
hours.
His final remarks were a plea for
acquittal fur Shepherd as only a part
