Mantz was taken to Oskaloosa;
where Sheriff Jackson secured him last
evening and returned with him to
Ottumwa. This morning Mantz told
his story as follows: He said that he
left Ottumwa yesterday morning going
to Kirkyille! There he says he met
Whitney and Morris, who had the
horse. He traded his watch for the
horse and then started overland to
farm, which he claims to own near
Perry.
The other two men left with him,
and after they had gone short ways,
Mantz says they took from him a; $40
bill and some change, all the money
that he had When arrested Mantz
was searched and no money was found.
When they reached a bridge a short
distance east OF Rose Fill, Mantz says
the two men left him and he started
on toward Perry alone. When he
reached the farm of Bert Tanner three
miles north east of Rose Hill he was
captured.
Sheriff Jackson, while inclined to be-
lieye Mantz's story in its entirety, be-
lieyes that possibly others may have
been concerned in the robbery If
Mantz took part III it. Steps are being
taken to thoroughly investigate the diff

is found that two other men were with
him Yesterday, these men will be ar

BEST OF PROOF
That Hyomei will Cure All Forms of Ca
tarrhaI Diseases.

Testimonials should be printed by
the thousands, many of them from
Goldsboro and nearby towns. that
Hyomei is an absolute cure for all
catarrhal troubles, and the best PROOF
of its unusual curative powers is the
guarantee that J. III. Hill & Son give
with every outfit they sell. "Money
back if Hyomei does not do all hat is
claimed for it,"
Hyomei is not a secret remedy. Its
formula is given freely to physicians
who want to know what they use when
they prescribe Hyomei. It is guaran-
teed under the Pure Food and Drug
Law by serial No. 1418.
By breathing Hyomei, the healing
medication goes directly to every nook
the catarrhal germs may Turk, and dis
infects and heals. To be convinced of
this you have only to give it a trial, re-
membering that if it does not cure, J.
H. Hill & Son will refund your money.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
out $1.OO and in most cases is sufficient
to cure the diseases, making it not
only a scientific treatment but one that
is highly economical. Get an outfit to-
day from J. III. Hill & Son if you have
any catarrh.

A LONG JUMP.

1t is a long Jump from Texas admis-
it is necessary to bridge this gap in or
der to go from the admission of one
cotton-growing State to that ofanother.
West Virginia became a State in 1868.
but no cotton is grown there, and it is
not in spirit or in fact aSouthern State.
The bald fact is only one Southern
State has been admitted since 1915,
while these Northern States hav come
into the union-Iowa, Wisconsin, Cali
fornia, Minnesota, Oregon, Kansas,
Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and
Utah, 16, besides West Virginia, which
was cut of Virginia as a war measure
in the second year of the great civil
strife. Sixteen to one! That tells the
electoral votes and Northern strength
in general.
The expansion of the South was stay
ed in the year 1845, and the battle
which handed Kansas over to the North
was really a turning point in the
great sectional struggle which became
acute in 1920. and which had been felt
from the very organization of the gov
m Kansas was admitted in 1861,
just before the outbreak of the civil
war, and the steps taken in the hen
territory of Kansas, eliminating as
they did in the election of Abraham
Lincoln, determined the nature of this
government. Seward once said this
country could not endure half slave
and half free, to use his phrase, and
Kansas was the real turning point.
Oklahoma comes in as Southern and
as full of cotton INC Democrats as Ala
bama or Georgia, and she breaks the
long silence of the South, and possibly
New Mexico and Arizona will soon fol-
low in her footsteps. But neither New
Mexico nor Arizona are cotton grow
ing States. Oklahoma is the last of
those States. Florida and Texas were
admitted in 1S45, Arkansas in 1886, and
Alabama in 1919. This is the story Of
expansion in the land of cotton. The
land of other staples outstripped US, af-
ter the sword had decided the issue.

Cor. progressive Farmer.
Messrs. Editors: The article by Mr..
II. c.. Coleman on 'How the Lien Law
Affects Labor" in the issue of October
"a, of you excellent paper, strikes at
the root of the evil, and no CUB meets
the approval of the majority of your
readers, especially in those sections
where tenants are numerous.
SOME NOTES FROM EXPERIENCE.
We had some bitter experiences
along that line. having had good farm
laborers when paid wages who woul
make full time and do anything we
wanted done, to become worthless and
idle away half their time when given a
crop and allowed to give a crop lien to
some merchant for supplies. But we
have cut our eye-teeth now. and never
intend to allow another tenant to be-
come thus ruined as a good day labor
er. Our experience, and observation
has been that n~inetenths of the tenants
tina the landlord allows to run an ac-
count on a lien will not work for him
(the landlord,) nor any one else, more
than half his time, and many of them
will work for any one else, when they
do work, in preference to the landlord.
Another thing, if they start in the
spring to trade one hundred dollars
worth, they seem to think the sooner
they trade it out the better, and often
by the time their crop is half made, the
limit is reached land you are compelled
to extend it, as they can't live with
out supplies, and so they seem to have
an air of 1--WE got you." and often
they have, or get you before the &C
count is settled.
LABOR LOAFING AMID SNOWY lotion
FIELDS.
Only a short time we wanted
one hundred cords of wood cut, and
could not get it done. In one crowd
we saw thirteen darkies, with guns
and lean dogs, rabbit hunting. In
another eight, riding aroun in bug
store accounts themselves, or belonged
to families who run them, for which
their landlord had Flowed a crop lien,
for which he was partly responsible.
Only last week, we met seven stout,
able-bodied darkies in the Dad with
as many dogs and guns going to the
river, hunting, while all around them,
on both sides of the road, there were
acres upon acres of cotton, some of
which had not been picked this year.
PosT LANDS AND ENFORCE THE LAW.
But there is one other thing to do,
concerning which Mr.. Coleman made
no suggestion, besides taxing the dogs
and shortening the hunting season
(Which needs no other legislation than
it already has) and that is, let every
landowner keep conspicuously before
these hunters, land posters, and then
enforce the law, where there is not per-
mission given. It is not SO much that
la Dor is SO scarce, out the fact that
such conditions render it hard to con-
troll, and if these measures were carried
into effect it would no doubt control
the sales Of breech-loaders (for nearly
every darkey in the country buys one

but it would go a long ways in help
