Ohio "BOOt-I4eggers" at Work

Lebanon, Ohio, May 31.-Desire to
secure revenge OF his relentless pros
ecution Of "boot-leggers" by the
Warren County Law and Order
League, Is said to have been the
motive of two criminal acts last
night.
The large barn of Alfred Shook,
chief detective for the league, was
burned to the ground, with a loss of
$4,000. Shook was prosecuting wit
ness in all boot-legging cases.
An attempt was made to wreck a
car Of the Lebanon and Franklin
t"HctiOn line loaded with passengers,
,mong whom were ministers and
anti-saloOn workers. The car struck
huge boulder near the corporation
line, jarring the passengers and
throwing them from their seats. The
authorities expect to make arrests.

TEACHERS SUMMER SCHOOL.
Plan Suggested by Which School
May lie Provided.

After correspondence with the
State Superintendent of Education, |
lind that there are no funds avail
able for the county summer schools,
that Is, from the State. On account
OF the fact that a great many of our
teachers want summer school and
are unable to go to the expense of
going to Wofford College, l have con-
suited several of the teachers, and as
a result of that the following plan
has been suggested, namely: That
we have summer school any way if
we can get as many as fifty of the
teachers In the county to pay a small
fee Of not less than two dollars, and
not over three dollars, to defray the
actual expenses of paying the in
structors. One person has volun-
teered to donate his time to the work
for two weeks, and there are others
who will help us out for reasonable
sum. Board can be had at about
seven dollars for two weeks.
Now, then, If our teachers are
really in earnest they have an excel
lent opportunity of helping them
selves at reasonable cost instead Of
the forty or fifty dollars it will cost
to go to Wofford. Then, In addition,
the usual renewal Of certificates will
be allowed for doing the prescribed
work. This Of itself ought to be suf-
ficient to decide in favor of the coun-
ty summer school.
If 1T can be done at all, it is desir-
ed to open on the 21st of June and
close on the Sd of July.
In order to get at the matter in the
shortest and quickest way, beg to
request all that are willing to have
a school under the conditions named
to please write me a note or a postal
card Immediately, so that the proper
arrangements can be made. Trust
ing that the teachers win feel the
need as much as l see it, am
Yours very truly, w. G.. Hughs,
County Superintendent of Education.

How to Raise
More Cotton
and Corn
per Acre. .

This can easily and profitably
be done by using Fertilizers as
a side application.
For corn Use 800 pounds Of
Piedmont Guano per acre when
the corn is knee high, and when
you wish to Use nitrate Of soda,
make an application Of 100
pounds per acre at laying by
time.
For cotton use a side appfi-
cation of 300 pounds Of Pied
mont Guano per acre, just about
the time it starts to blooming,
and when nitrate of soda is
wanted use as in the corn.
If you decide to try this be
sure to try Our Piedmont Guano.
1t will do the work.
We will continue to bay cot
ton seed through this month at
the highest market price. Be
sure to bring them in by the
first Of June.

CLERGYMAN FOR PROPOSITION
Rev. Robert Schlotter, Pastor
OF Grace Lutheran Church,
Gives His Views.

Rev Robert L. Schlotter, pastor
OF Grace English Lutheran church,
who during his sermon Sunday night
in series on "The Church and the
City," said that there we're too few
parks in this city, today gave fur
ther views on the question Mr.
Sehlotter says that the old Smith
street water works is the most adapt
able place for public recreation
place as 1t could be used for amuse-
ment both winter and summer.
Our school children have such
very poor facilities for recreation"
said Mr.. Schlotter, "that the city
should provide a suitable place for
them to play. A public park would
remedy the need and could be en-
joyed by the old as well as the
young. For the lack OF Fairgrounds
the children now play in the streets,
which are Uttered with automobiles
and wagons, and are in constant
danger OF injury and perhaps death
The homes are also often so cramp-
ed that parents don't really have
any place to give their children fresh
air or relaxation. In my mind the
old water works property at Eagles
NOOd WOhAd bG GIL iQCdl HAatO III u
public park as In the winter the ice
would afford sport, while in summer
bathing could be enjoyed without
fear OF the dangerous tides.
Parents are afraid to let their
children bathe at the shore, and at
the old water works there are no
facilities now for that purpose, but,
IL converted into city park, could
easily be made So While 1t might
cost something to purchase addition
al land and properly lay out the
water works property as a city park.
It could be made self-supporting in a
way. At Bronx Park. New York,
recently learned that the stands
and other attractions where fees
were charged were run by the city
and that the proceeds we're used for
the improvement of the park. Perth
Amboy certainly needs a park and
hope one will be established here
soon. Being supported by the city,
the poor could enjoy its privileges
and obtain the recreation and
amusement which they are now
without"
