Is BURGLARIZBD
BY TWO THIBVES

A wholesale robbery of clothing,
marked for its boldness, took place
Sunday night at Martin, Tenn, when
Mathew Burke's clothing and notion
store was quietly entered and robbed.
Two negroes are believed to be the
guilty ones and a reward of 800
has been offered for their apprehen-
sion.
Chief of Police Singery received a
long distance telephone message
from Marshal ]. T. Vickens, of Mar
tin. asking the police department to
assist in locating the men. A des-
cription of the negroes was given
and it is thought they are headed in
this direction.
The negroes, according to the
facts learned here, effected entrance
to the store Sunday night and after
selecting choice suits for themselves
they made a lightning change and
were transformed into real live
sports. Then they proceeded to car
ry out their robbery intent When
the proprietor opened his store yes
terday morning he found the place
looted. Missing were five $22 suits
of clothes. five pairs of patent
leather shoes, one dozen red and
blue flannel shirts, half dozen hats.
ten dollars worth of socks and three
new suit cases. In exchange for the
property the negroes left their old
suits. The robbery was one of the
neatest ever pulled of at Martin.
One of the negroes was described as
having yellow skin and carrying a
suit case. One arm was on. No
description of the other was given
although it is said that both wore
brand new clothing from head to
feet Efforts to locate them have
proven fruitless so far.

COUNTY OPTION AND ITS
RESULTS IN RECENTELECTlON

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Nov. 1e.-
Lost: $4,000 county option votes
during the months of September and
October Liberal reward will be paid
for their recovery. (Signed) The
Prohibition Party.
The above advertisement is one
that has been in the minds Of the
Prohibition campaign managers since
the poll of votes on November 8th.
1t had been confidently expected and
predicted by the Prohibitionists that
they would poll in the general cleo
ton very large part of those votes
cast for Capt. Lewis, county option
candidate in the primary. They fell
so far short Of that figure that they
have been stunned, while their ante.
cleo on predictions have become the
joke of the year.
The party polled less votes than
in years past, which indicates that
the great furore created by Capt. Lew
lis and his si-prohibftio1 campaign
has blown itself out completely. He
did not add a single vote to the pro
hibition total in the election and il
may be possible that his vigorous
campaign tactics have hurt the cause
The prohfbitionists have been justi

option is not the real issue; that il
must be prohibition OF nothing. o.
Ecourse, Capt. Lewis was given a fine

WHY 4
FOOD PROBLEM

There should be no food problem"
in this country for many years to
come We have plenty of idle lands
upon which to produce our food, not
only for the present, but for all the
increase in population for decades in
the future. This is the declaration
of Commissioners of immigration of
Wisconsin, in which state there are
yet 0,000,00 Of acres of fertile I'M
used land. They are on record as
stating that the unused lands of Wis
consin, Minnesota and Michigan ag-
gregate fully 4O,000,000 of acres and
that its fertility is such that, if all
were planted to wheat, would duph-
cate the present United States wheat
crop, that if planted to oats, bar
ley and rye, would duplicate those
crops as now grown in the whole
would grow all the vegetables now
produced in the United States. These
statements are at least definite. Ii
correct, it is easy to see that there
has been a large amount of idle talk
upon that phase of the question of
future food supply. Undoubtedly it
woud be vastly better if more peo-
pie were upon the land and less in
the cities, but they should be In
duced to go where they can produce
the best results for themselves and
for those whose wants are to. be sup
piled by the proposed agricultural
extensioE, and on this phase Of the
subject the Commissioners decline
to enter into the scramble for de
velopment, but say: eve have in
Wisconsin 10000, 600 of acres of fer
tile land, close to the best markets
and environed by conditions promo
tive of comfort, happiness and pros
perity and it will be settled soon by
people who have learned of its merit:
and value, not because of the pre-
vailing unwarranted talk about food
disparity and the observation-disclosures,
| but because men and women will take
this land upon firm conviction thai
they can do better upon it. With me-
is not a question of selling land
but of securing the successful Dr.
velopment of our unused lands"
