"Farmers in America receive but 42 cents of the dollar that is paid by the consumer for farm products, while in Holland and Denmark farmers receive as high as 82 cents of the consumer's dollar.

The two- were saved from the gallows last Saturday by a last minute reprieve from the governor, following the supreme court split.

He explained his refusal to allow visitors, and added: "It makes no difference what Jim Beadle says about this case. Dr.

Dreher and Mts. Ada Bonner LeBouef have confessed to the murder ind that is all that is necessary." Defense counsel were prepared tonight to appear tomorrow before the state supreme court and press their request for the appointment of a sanity commission to inquire into the present mental state of the condemned couple.
