SPIES CAUGHT
(By United Press Leased Wire)

Wy OTITCSU TTCSS CCdSCU WITH
STOCKHOLM, Sept. 29.-Two
men, said to be Russian spies, are
under arrest here after being
caught proving about the new
fortress of Holden, on the Finnish
frontier. Their arrest has aroused
widespread excitement through
out Sweden and Norway.
The presence of the two men at
that particular place is interpreted
to mean that Russia is planning to
occupy a strip of seaboard on the
peninsula in order to carry out her
announced intention of keeping a
perennnially ice-free seaboard on
the north Atlantic.

After the Bucket shops.

After the Bucket Shops.
The federal department Of justice
has started a crusade against bucket
shops as a form Of gambling. 1t will
be necessary for the prosecution to
show that these ''brokers'' are not en-
gagged in a necessary and legitimate
form Of business. On the surface the
transactions are. open to the charge Of
being a conspiracy to defraud because
the patron has no chance to win. No
stocks are bought and sold.
The term bucket shop" nov stands
for places where the money Of specu-
lators is risked on margin operations.
In large cities they are patronized by
q class who look higher than the policy
shops and pool rooms. but lack capital
necessary to deal with regular brokers.
Even when the bucket shop is honest
~ conducted the transaction is little
better than a clear cut gamble, the
customer betting blindly on the rise or
fall Of specified stock. However. in
vestors with exchange brokers some
times complain of being victimized by
bucket shop methods.

The Forest Fire Fiend.

Dry spring weather is as msnacfne
to forests as the long drought Of mid.
summer. Early spring is always the
most convenient and generally the
most suitable time OF the year for
burning up accumulated rubbish. The
woods : already damp, and frequent
rains may be counted upon to cut
short q spreading blaze. When the
calendar Is right the torch is applied.
for it Is then or never with the busy
man who has brush to burn and land
to plow and seed in turn.
The early fire should lead to yigi.
lance all the rest Of the year. When
the man from the woods goes to the
city he sees everywhere the signs
Keep or the Grass" Don't Pick the
Shrubs and Flowers" Let him turn the
tables on the city chap and hold up
thoughtless overs at the very passes
of the forest with the warnings

A few simple and reasonable precau-
lions on the part Of those who travel
or camp out In woods in dry spells
would save many a fine stretch of
forest from humiliation

Graft Legislation.

Grating legislators are strong IN the
lmelight just at present. Indignation
due to exposure naturally centers upon
bride taking legislators. But three. In
dependent factors must combine or
connive in order to put a law on the
statute books. The upper and lower
houses check each other. and the ex-
ecutive checks both. So much for the
methods by which bills become laws.
Much is said Of bought OF legisla-
ton. In this a the game is largely
n of pirate against pirate. Some
times the whole people suffer through
these deals. Again only the constitu-
ents Of the grating legislators are
outraged. Their man has sold them
out and fouled the home nest, Legis-
latures have power to purge their
membership, but that is only locking
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen. The sure cure for graft
legislation is ceaseless vigilance on the
part Of the electorate, ceaseless and
by no means gfngerly.

Schoolgirls Employers.
The tragedies Of young girls in
search Of employment do not always
acquire horrifying prominence, but ev-

Parental neglect or fatuousness. which

that strangers will take her at the

BEWARE OF SORGHUM FRAUDS

Government caiIs Attention to Mis-.
representations by Seed Sellers.
The. United States department of ag-
ricniture recently issued two bulletins
relafing to sorghum-a bulletin. on
'sThe History and Distribution of
Sorghum and u circular for free dis
tribntion on ''Three Much Misrepre.
sented Sorghums." The object Of the
latter y to set the people right con-
corning some mistakes and misrepre-
sentations.
Recently an Oklahoma man has been
selling at so cents a pound seed grain
Of what he calls california wheat
which he declares will produce 200 to
400 bushels per acre. The department
shows that this is a variety Of sor-
ghum known as shallu, which. after a
thorough test a few years ago. proved
only about half as productive as Kafir
corn. 1t ia also inferior as a forage
crop.
The second Of these ''misrepresented
sorghums" is a SO called chocolate
corn,' accounts of which have appear
ed In the press at different times. The
department that 1t never
had any seed of chocolate corn" for
distribution and that the plants which
havelsometimes received that name
were simply varieties Of sorghum,
probably in most cases the Early Am
Der sorgo.
The sale of sorghum seed in the
south. under the name of Texas seed.
ed ribbon cane, by certain seedsmen
has led to much confusion and disap.
pointment. The use of the term crib.
bon cane" is the cause of the trouble,
since this is the popular name for the
sugar cane of the south, which does
not bear seed. The impression spread
by advertisers of this seed was that
they were offering a variety Of the
sugar cane which would produce seed
and there was a large demand for this
seed. which. in fact, was nothing more
than goose neck" sorghum. The de
mand eventually exhausted the supply
O fGseed, and the seedsmen began filling
orders with other sorghum seed. The
fraud was promptly exposed by the
department of agriculture. but the sale
of this seed continues. The depart
ment urges that the name seeded rib
bon cane be discontinued because Il

The Dead Ju-lst.

The people Of the nation could Ill

Of q judge like the late Supreme Court
Justice David J. Brewer. AS the Sec
ond Oldest man on the bench in point
Of service he had accumulated expe-
rience as q constitutional lawyer
which gave him something akin to au-
thority among his associates. And he
revealed himself as a great man as
well as a great Judge. 1t can be said
Of him that as judge he renewed and
fortified the traditions which make
the United States supreme court the
most respected as we'll as the most
powerful Of the worlds tribunals and
as a man typifed the best ideals Of
American citizenship.
The people knew Justice Brewer. 1t
was his habit now and then to lay
aside the ermine and the manner and
speech that go with it and talk from
the public platform upon matters that
concerned his fellows. he sympa-

age to oppose popular currents OF

ism, Justice Brewer would have been
a leader in any field which destiny
opened before him.
