Washington Special to Raleigh Post: The De
partment of Agriculture has given great boom
to North Carolina cottohseed, and before spring
the most fancy price ever known in this country.
It has been decided by the experts at the Agricul
tural Department that there is no hope of eradi-
eating the boil weevil at this time, ana-it is
their opinion that the only practical way to meet
the very critical situation@in the pest-stricken
territory is to plant early maturing cottonseed.
Accordingly, the farmers of Texas and the other
States where the pest exists have been advised to
secure all their seed for planting from North
Carolina
Great quantities of North Carolina seed have
been shipped to Texas, according to the agricul-
tural experts of the Government. The Texas
delegation in Congress is havip" many complaints
because of the scarcity and high price of the seed.
and in some instances Federal aid has been in

HUSBANDS SHOULD

"Don't Seek Divorce for Cruel

"Show You're Master.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Judge Murray
bench, who has been a judge for al
most forty years, has all the intellec-
tual feminine hammer throwers in
Chicago bombarding him. If the
judges ears Jingle tonight, or his nose
itches he will know the reason tomor-
row. 1t is all because a meek and
humble husband, one Frederick A.
Jahnke, petitioned for a divorce from
his wife, Annie, citing extreme and
repeated cruelty
Jahnke's attorney said the husband
was hereditary victim of woman's re-
preston, as his father before him was
outrageously "henpecked." When Judge
Tuley grasped the details he voiced
this judgment from the bench:
Men coming here pleading for relief
from cruel wives are surely retrograd-
ing in manliness. 1t is the duty of the
husband to make the wife obey. He
should exercise a corrective sternness
when necessary, and show that he is
master of the house.
1T is not necessary to beat her to
accomplish this. Take hold of her
sharply, make plain the fact that she
is exceeding her wifely obligations and
impress upon her the fact that the
man is the ruler of the home to ali
extent that preeludes any right of Vio-
lence from her. Men permit their wives
to overrule and dictate to them and
then come begging the courts to grant
release from irksOme marital bonds"
Jahnke was married in 1880 and be-
fore leaving his wife in 1903 he declares
that he went through many trying ex-
perienceS. He was frequently beaten
q oh Ia
with two pounds of sirlein steak At
the breakfast table he was forced to
keep one eye on his wife to be able to
dodge dishes and other missiles. Once
he was hit in the eye with cup At
another time his wife, he says, threw
a lighted lamp at him and he only
saved himself by quickly closing a
door.
Judge Tuley refused to grant a de-
cree until he should be convinced by
later evidence that the man was not
physically capable of assuming the
management of Mrs Jahnke
Representative women of Chicago
are indignant at Judge Tuley's dictum.
Mrs. Frederick K. Bowers, of the
Woman's Sculpture club, said: ~ can't
believe any man is SO un-American
as that. If We had votes Judge Tuley
would never be elected"
Il can't believe Judge Tuley would
say such things exclaimed Mrs. Helen
Starrett Il always considered him a
gentleman"

1t is encouraging brutality in man."

1t now weighs thirty-six and a half
pounds after having soaked several
years in alcohol. A human heart.
which weighs a little more than a

length of time, weighs ten ounces. The
human heart is less than six inches

When Jumbo met his heroic death
at St Thomas, Ont, trying to save
the baby elephant and being himself
killed by locomotive, his carcass was
sent to the Ward natural science es
adjustment in Rochester. The skele-
ton was preserved and put on exhi
bition and the hide was mounted. DR.
Wilder purchased the heart of the an

ton. The brains Of Jumbo, most de-
sired by DR.. Wilder, were shattered in

dismal "frowsy," who had linked it,
from Batesville, Ind, that day, and

and needle and two towels were found
on him. He had but recently pur-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 6.-Credi-
tors of R. c. Penfield, formerly of Will
loughby, who disappeared last fall prior
to his $S,00O,000 failure, have received
information that he is living in Italy
with his family, and apparently has no
intention of returning to this country.
The creditors fear they will have to
take the property he left and try to
work out of the companies the amounts
due.
If this plan is followed it will wipe
out the immense Penne1d fortune.
Rated as a millionaire up to the date
of his disappearance, all his immense
investments will be swallowed up in
an effort to liquidate his debts.
His Mexican Clay company will
shortly be sold under foreclosure pro-
ceedings, instituted by the bondhold-
ers, and will be bought by them for
the amount of their claims.
The New York Blower company. at
Bucyrus, has been sold by the receiv-
ers and paid for. There are now left

piece of work for the experts who went
