Only Way Nebraska Town Can den- tify Them Is by Giving Each
 Man a Number.

Newman Grove, Neb.-Instead of 1t this little town and the community round about is afflicted with "too much Johnson" Erie Johnson, cashier of the Newman Grove State bank, is the man here who Is authority for de- claring that there is "too much John son."
 T believe there are more Johnsons to the square inch in and around this town than anywhere else in the world, figuring on the same area. 1 have counted them up, and find that, taking this town as center, there are 95S Johnsons within a radius of 12 miles, and of these 629 have the Christian name of John.
 "A check drawn on the local bank will not be paid if it is simply signed John Johnson,' no matter what the standing of the Johnson may be. Neither will the indorsement John Johnson,' be accepted at the bank or any of the stores. There are so many of them that we have to adopt another method"
 Here is the method as explained by Cashier Johnson, though not one of the Johns:
 The bank and the stores have decided that while the Johnsons

NEW YORK HAS BIG GRANGE
Ninety Thousand Members Now En- rolled, Eight Thousand of Whom
 Joined Last Year.

City folks who think that "the solete expressions ought to have at tended the thirty-seventh annual con vention of the New York State Grange recently held at Watertown.
 Organized in 1873 with twenty-one subordinate granges and a small membership, the State Grange has in this brief period increased to 723 granges with nearly 90,000 members. The granges are now established in fifty-four of the siXty-one counties of the state, including practically every agricultural county
 During the last year over 5000 new names were added to the roll. At the Watertown convention nearly 1,500 out-of-town delegates were present for at least some sessions. l.
 -"The grange is uniquely democratic in it's organization" says the Survey. Practically any farmer or farmers wife, whether owning farm or work ing on farm, is eligible to member ship. About one-third of the delegates at the state meeting were women, and not infrequently they brought their husbands as associate delegates, the women voting and the husbands merely participating in the discus sions. Sometimes this was reversed.
 Among other activities, the grange is pre-eminently interested in the i'm provement of agricultural education and urges the enlargement of the state agricultural college and lib- eral appropriation therefor as we'll as for the maintenance of the agricul tural schools already established"

Many Advantages Combined In Plans Proposed for Modern Structure
 in Chicago.

Chicago.-With the idea of elim- mating all the disadvantages of both the fiat and the detached house and at the same time having the structures so arranged as to comprise all the advantages of each, w. K. Gore Is to erect in Ingleside avenue. between Fifty-fourth and Fifty,fifth streets ten individual houses surrounding court and park, his plan being to invest ap- proximately $100000 in the venture.
 The homes are to be ready within a year and work will start on the first of the group the latter part of the month. The idea is entirely new in Chicago building, but MT. Gore pre- diets that it will be successful and asserts that the first move in all probability will be followed by others of the kind.

Chief Forester Graves Discusses
 Problem and Proposes Plan.
Not Legislation That Is Needed, But Immediate Beginning of Practical Operation of Forestry-Lum-
 bermen Can Meet Issue.

New Orleans, La.-In addressing the National Lumber Manufacturers association the other day Henry S. Graves, chief of the forest service Of the United States department of agriculture, discussed the problem of private forestry and proposed a plan for general test by southern lum- bermen of the practicability of for estry on their own holdings.
 "The more I study into this subject of private forestry" said MT. Graves, the more l am convinced that what Is needed is not immediate legisla- tion, but an immediate beginning of the practical operation of forestry, and l am convinced that the results of such beginning will be conclusive evidence that American lumbermen are fully capable of meeting the con- servation problem both from the standpoint of the permanent require ments of the lumber trade and from that of the continued prosperity of the public at large"
 Forester Graves held that for most large owners to introduce for estry immediately over their entire holdings would not be practical from business standpoint, because this would involve making a considerable investment in the dark. It could not be told either what forestry would cost them or what it would bring them. Further, preliminary work ing out of the exact methods of cut ting and fire protection needed should be obtained. Therefore MT. Graves proposed: CD That those lumbermen who are interested in this matter make an immediate test of the prac- tise of forestry on their holdings; CD that this be regarded as a begin ming with a view of ascertaining the possibility of forestry, rather than an attempt to establish an organized sys- tenn of forestry over his entire hold ings; (3) that to accomplish this ob- ject they associate themselves to- gether either through their trade as- sociations, or by new association, in order that through cooperation and partnership the expenses of forestry may be reduced to a minimum; (4 that each owner set aside from 1000 to 10000 acres as a practical demon stration ground; (5) that there be en- ployed by the association a forester to direct the technical work, his sal ary and expenses to be properly pro- rated among all the members; (6) that each owner employ such To- cal guards or rangers as are neces- sary to carry out the fire regulations, restrictions of cutting, etc.
 MT. Graves warned the lumbermen

 of which I knew nothing. That was the one great act of injustice done me in all my career, and even the grave won't bring forgetfulness of that nasty piece of work.
 After l did that five years in Sing Sing for another mans crime l want ed to get square with Byrnes. I and another set out to blow open the safe in police headquarters. It was then in a little office off the big hall. We were at work on it when we heard footsteps, and if we hadn't been frightened off then we would have blown that cheesebox to bits"
 In 1885 he went to Gloversvi1le and robbed a safe there. He was arrest ed outside of the bank while feigning intoXication, and actually had the loot on him. The policemen did not search him, but took him before a justice of the peace.
 He was drunk outside the bank just robbed, your honor,' said the po- liceman," continued Murphy

 But, inspector" continued Murphy, "the laugh was on me. Peggy Dono- van was arrested for this crime I had committed, and railroaded to prison. When I learned of it I gave myself up and confessed to the crime. I had a hard time proving l had done the job. I had to subpoena the justice of the peace and the policeman from Gloy- ersville. They bore out my story as far as they could. I was convicted Peggy was freed and the three years and three months I did for that crime were some of the happiest years of my life"
 How he got the name of Liverpool Jack" was developed as follows:
 You remember, inspector, what you said to me year ago, when I was nabbed with the gun and tools? You said: Murphy, you are old. Do you want to spend the remainder of your life in Sing Sing or in the convicts' home kept by the salvation army out on Long island?' I told you I wasn't hypocrite, and 1t was either freedom to go and do as I please or Sing Sing. I'm James Murphy, alias Connors, alias Liverpool Jack, and a few other fanciful names; professional criminal -safe-blower.'

A house will be erected at the side of each of these structures, leav- ing courtway space 65 feet wide. The eight other houses will be ar ranged around a park, which will be circular.

IEGG'S LIFE STORY
Liverpool JaCk," SafebIoWer,
 Relates Experiences.
Once Tried to Blow Police Headquar' ters Safe to Get Revenge-ProVes Self Guilty to Save
 Friend.

New York.-How he had once tried to blow open the safe at Mulberry street police headquarters in the sos, as revenge for an unjust conviction got by one of Inspector Byrnes men; how he had cleverly fooled a country justice of the peace after being caught on a safe-breaking job, by feigning to be drunk; and how he had later proved his own guilt, to save another man from the crime, was told recent ly at the new Center street headquar- ters by James Murphy, safe-breaker, arrested for carrying burglars tools.
 It was Murphy, known as Liver pool Jack" who, with Red Leary and Johnny and Jimmy Hope, blew open the saft of the Manhattan bank, at Broadway and Bleecker street, in the early '70s. Murphy, now well past 70 years, has been implicated in many of the big safe-blowings of two generations. Released from the pen itentiary on Blackwelfs island only the other morning he was seized again on a bench warrant issued by Judge Rosalsky, charging him with carrying burglars tools, at the time of his former arrest for carrying a re- volver.
 The old safe-blower told Inspector McCafferty of the robbery of the Man haitian bank, and said after his re- lease from Sing Sing he went to Kan sas City for five years.
 While l was away from the city" he went on, "a safe was blown. When I got back to New York in 1880 one of Byrnes' men nabbed me and rail roaded me to prison for this crime,

them on large scale as an invest ment, should advise against it. In my Judgment the question of financial returns from private forestry should not be looked at from a theoretical standpoint of purchasing land and planting trees; but rather from the standpoint of the management of for ests already under timber. I believe that the average American lumberman is not much more interested in natu- ral reproduction than he is in planta- tions. Nevertheless, I believe that the question of reproduction Is we'll worth your attention on practical grounds, even though you have not the interest of the owners who are planning heritage for their chil- dren and grandchildren, or of the cor poration organized on such a perma- nent basis as to look far into the fu- ture. Already in the best settled DOT tions of our country land well stocked with young growth brings higher price than denuded land. Even the land speculator who has no interest in permanent forestry may well take this into account. Reproduction can be secured naturally in most cases where a second cut Is contemplated. believe that it is emphatically worth while, in the first place, for the sake of the increased sale value of natural forest land after the present stand has been removed, if it is then well stocked with young growth. In the second place, I believe that the perma- nent interests of the lumber business not only justify but demand such handling of your forest property"

Let Not the Care Be Lacking.

Those who feed pigs and grow brood sows estimate that little pig at birth is worth from three to five dollars. It is evident from this that it will pay anyone to give as much at tention to the pig business this year as ever before. Every pig saved means from two to five dollars, an amount not to be found everywhere. Most people can afford to almost stay up nights with the pigs until the new crop is born and well started on the journey through life. To leave a brood SOW and go away or neglect her as many have done in the past is one of the most foolish moves to make. It is not alone the matter of saving pigs but frequently the SOW as well. A 25O-pound SOW is worth from $22 to $25, neat little sum.

buildings and the homes will be such that they may be rented at figures in proportion to the amounts now paid for high-grade flats. The plan of hay ing the structures heated from a cen trai heating station eliminates all bother of that kind, the greatest ob- Jection to the detached home, for the tenant. The houses also will have sufficient grounds for garden pur- poses and play spots for the children. We expect the venture to be success full, and before long there no doubt will be such groups of homes scat tered in almost every section of Chi cago."

Thoroughbred Poultry Best.

Thoroughbred poultry eat no more than scrubs. They require no more attention. You should stand to sell the eggs at good prices for matching pur- poses. Some breeds will weigh more if sold for meat and realize greater returns. With little trouble and ad- vertising you can get fancy price. They give farm the look that stamps the owner progressive.

Cow With First Calf.

The COW with her first calf may not come to her fullest and best flow of milk until the fifth or sixth week, owing to the fact that bringing forth young for the first time is a more severe physical strain than later in life, hence longer time for recovery from the weakness caused by gesta- tion will be required. For this reason the young COW coming fresh should be fed and cared for more carefully than older COWS at the same period.
