GRAF TING" IN
THE BREAD LINE
TO Be STOPPED

Mayor Jacob Haussling, Rabbi Hy-
man Brodsky and others have informed
the committee of Bakers Local No. 1s7
that they are ready to do all in their
power to assist them in the movement
which they started last week, in the
distribution of bread to the poor of the
city.
When the doors were thrown open at
l3f Prince street yesterday afternoon
long line of men, women and children
were waiting 10 receive the free bread
In less than two hours the total of $3.50
loaves were given out. and some per-
sons were compelled to go home disap-
pointed.
The committee. at its headquarters
in Rosenbaum's Hall. 112 Prince street,
last night made reports which were
received with much enthusiasm. The
general opinion was that the good work
would continue so long as flour ner-
chants and others would contribute.
1t was stated that Mayor Haussling
would request assistance in this way.
In the future, as a result of graft
ing" proclivties. the committee will
not give any bread to children. Bread
tickets win be distributed only to the
needy. The committee discovered that
people Of means and boarding house
keepers received bread in the past. In
other cases people with three and four
children sent all 10 get bread
Pinkus kampf said today that he
was at loss to understand why peoplc
with means We're imposing on the
bakers, and perhaps causing depriva-
tion to those really in need Of tho food.

DENVER, Feb. 25.-The body Of
Father Leo Heinrichs. of st. Eliza

anarchist, was removed this morning
from the monastery to the church,
where it viii lie in state upon the
sanctuary until after the public flu

priests at a private service this morn
ing. Later the doors of the church
were thrown open to the public, and
during the day a constant procession
looked upon the face of the martyred
priest
That Father Leo lived a life of severe
austerity is evidenced by a discovery
made in preparing the body for burial.
Next to the skin Father Leo had
wrapped about his waist and upper
arms heavy bands of linked steel
chains, and TO each link was a hook,
sharpened TO a needles point. attached
in such. fashion that each movement
of the priest caused the hooks to pierce
his flesh and TO remind him of the life
and death of Him IN whose steps he
struggled TO follow
Father Leo never spoke to his fellow
clergy of his mode of penance, and
no one in the monastery surmised it.
His body and upper arms were call
loused entirely. showing that when the
pain became deadened because of the
toughened skin he had taken the net
work Of claws and adjusted them so
that the pain might como again with
renewed force.

Taking Care of Tools.

The care of farm machinery is q
vital point with many farmers. You
will scarcely see one in twenty who
seems to think 1t worth his while
to take proper care of his farm tools.
No one can expect to make success
of farming unless he has the proper
tools and keeps them in proper shape
There is twice as much money paid
out for farm machinery as would be
necessary If the proper care was TAX
en- with implements. Every farmer
should have all the tools he needs,
and not have to be running over to
Mr.. Jones to get Mr. Smiths corn
stalk cutter. Nine times out of ten,
Mr.. Smith has let Mr.. Somebody Else
have it, so there 1t goes Time lost,
and time is money these days.
You don't see doctor or dentist
running over to his neighbors office
TO borrow some instrument, nor do
you ever see anything out of its place.
Doctors have place for everything,
and as soon as they are through using
an instrument It is rubbed up and put
in its place. This is the first step to
success.
Now don't see why farming is not
and should not be just as successful
as any other calling But it will never
be until the farmers take more pains
in keeping the proper machinery and
that in the best of shape.
Everyone who has ever farmed at
all knows what job it is to rig up
a cultivator when you get ready to
pillow corn in-the spring. First, where
is the cultivator? It's away over at
the back of the field where we quit
blowing corn last year; SO here we
go with old Beck or Kate after it, hitch
to it and come poking back to the
house. We find that it has sweeps
on it; we want shovel plows. Now
where are they? We hunt around
for an hour or two and find them in
"a fence corner where the hired man
had thrown them down. They have
40 bots in them, and there is more
hunting to do, and maybe trip to
The shop. So, after all is ready for
work, we have lost about half day
that means something.
This condition should not exist and
as long as it does farming will not
be as successful as it should-Farm
and Ranch.
