is enlisted, and through him the
school houses and the names of the

for cultivation is given. Each boy
receives regularly the bulletins from

relate to corn raising.
The Agricultural Department has

work for the good OF the American
farmer than the demonstration field
work In the South, which is largely
responsible for the Boys Corn Clubs.

Influence Of Boys
Corn Clubs on South
ern Agriculture

\
,;n. has been telling the interestin
story of the Boys Corn Clubs whic
are arousing the boys of the Sout
10 a high pitch of enthusiasm re
gardipg the raising OF big crops.
In 1909 the prize offered in tn
state of Arkansas for the best acr
of corn raised by a boy OF the Corr
clubs was a free trip to Washing
,on The winner of the prize want

Of the 500 allowed to cover th'
expenses of the trip.
The boy travelled from Arkansas

cents above the cost Of his ticket
He sat up at night to save the cost
Of sleeping car berth. and dined
on a hamburger sandwich, which
he purchased in the station at Char.
lo,tesyille. Va. for Is cents.
When he returned to his home
he ,arried with him $55, which he
had saved out of the 500, and he
was firm in the determination to
become the owner of horse. 1t Is
| hard to quench such enthusiasm as
| this. 1t is hard to convince the boys

pericnces as this that the field in
s,uciion work of the Agricultural
Department and the Boys Corn
Clubs are not about the greatest
Institutions in the country.

CHIEF THAT AMOUNT
(By United Press Leased Wire.)
SEATTLE, June 3.-Follow-
ing the introduction of evidence
by the state for more than two
days, showing by circumstantial
facts that ex-Chief of Police Wap-
penstein planned a gigantic
scheme to declare himself in" on
all operations in the restricted dis
trict under former Mayor Gill,
the state yesterday showed direct
ly that Wappenstein received bribe
money. Gideon Tupper, who with
Clarence Gerald, ran two of the
biggest houses in the district,
made the positive statement that
on August 5, 1910, he paid Wap-
penstein $1,000 in currency. This
tallies with previous testimony by
bank officials that Wappenstein
deposited $1,000 on August 5 in
currency. Tupper testified that
he had difficulty in securing the
lease for one of the houses, and
that Wappenstein made 1T all
right.
Tupper also told of Wappen-
STEMS sending other owners OF
bawdy houses to him ito fix
things up"
Tupper spoke directly and un-
hesitatingly. He was subjected
to gruelling cross-examination
but the defense could not break
down any material testimony he

Fire which broke out at 10
O'Clock this morning in a Greek
bakery and lodging house at 3S
st Paul street, next to the St.
Paul & Tacoma Mill Co.'s store,
threatened for a while to sweep
over the lumber yards that are
spread all around it on the tide

Quick work by the fire depart
ment however, confined the blaze
to the one building.
The fire started by the over
turning Of lamp which set fire
to papers. Instantly the flames,
formed by draft, swept UP the
stairway to the second floor. For
tunately no one was asleep up
stairs, and the men on the first
floor escaped.

Were Juggled

Friends of e. r. Roberts and
A. Christofferson, candidates for
the park board, say the present
park officials juggled their petit
tions.
Roberts declares he filed for
the three year and Christofferson
for the two year term.
But the park board put Roberts
and Christofferson both down as
candidates for the two year term
against Vaeth, the present men,
ber.
This, 1t is charged, was done
to try to split up the Roberts and
Christofferson vote and give
Vaeth a chance to win.

C1rubiich
Dying In
Jail
MAN WHO WAS FEARFULLY
BEATEN BY POLECD MAY
BE INSANE AND CANNOT
GET WE'LL,

Nick Grubich is crazy now and
dying, admittedly a victim Of po-
lice brutality.
At his cell in the county jail
he RACES back and forth, groan-
Ing and raving and praying for
death.
For three days and three nights
without let-up his shrieks and
cries for mercy have resounded
Itill the place is like an Inferno
and prisoners and clerks alike
within range OF his voice are
NEARLY hysterical.
For three days he has not
tasted food.
He may die today. says DR..
McCreary.
Whose fault?
The police call Grubich a bad
man. They tell how he cut up
three prisoners In tho city jail,
how he fought like a mad man
to resist arrest. how he threw
water over a jailor and woman
prisoner and then toppIed over a
small army of police when they
came In to punish him.
But these things all happened
AFTER a terrific beating Grubich
got when the police arrested him
In a Pacific avenue saloon two
months ago.
The police never heard of Nick
Grubich before then.
In Iand OF Free.
And Nick Grubich came to
America short while ago to be
free from the expressions that
grind down the peasants of Aus
tria-Hungary. He had heard Of
this land as one where all men
were equal, where there was no
one to drive men into the fields
with whips and thongs.
And he was beaten insane by
Tacoma police.
This morning a group Of we'll
dressed Americans seated COM
fortably in their big easy chairs
discussed among other routine
matters the question of what
Pierce county should do with
Nick Grubich, whose heart-rend-
ing roars could be heard almost
In their chamber.
The county commissioners
wanted and the Deputy County
Attorney Nolte wants to send
Grubich to Steilacoom to be
operated on. They have discussed
the matter before. But legal
points came UP and Grubich is
left raving till they are settled.
"There is no doubt but that the,
police drove the man insane by
the beating. but there Ia . ques-
ton as to whether they are 10
blame. A policeman has . right
to club man when he is resist
ing arrest"
Attorney r. H. Lee, for
IGrubich's brother is willing to
send Grubich to SteiIacoom. but
mot as an insane man. The COM
lmissioners and Nolte do not think
| he will be admitted otherwise.
/ And so the debate goes on.
Probably It's too late anyhow
lnow.
Grubich may die today. If
he does, then the commissioners
and county officials won't be
bothered any more with the case.

Girls, Don't Go on the Stage; It's Lonely Life,
Says Blanche Ring, and She Dug to Know, Sure

"Girls, don't go on the stage,
it's lonely life," says Blanche
Ring. and she ought to know.
Not only that, but you can't
eat what YOU want to eat; you
can't sleep when you want to
sleep; you can't have a home

thing except live for your art.
She's Already Married.
So Blanche Ring Is looking for
ward to an early retirement from
the stage, when she can become
really domesticated and live what
she calls "the happier life"-the
life of a married woman. (No

Yet She's Lonely.
Yet she said like she meant It:
"It's a lonely life ON the stage"
And she didn't exclude stars, such
as herself, nor vivacious, pretty
stage girls, such as herself.
"Even," insisted Miss Ring, "if
a girl should finally reach the uni
versal goal OF being a star, it's a
lonely life. She must live In hotels
most of the time, some of them
none too good. 1t is hard for her
to get congenial company. She
must be so careful, don't you
know? She must refuse practical
ly all invitations to dine, to wine,
to Joy ride. She has time, she has
energy only for her art.
Chorus Girls Don't Revel.
81 do not except chorus girls.
Some people have the impression
that the chorus girl lives life of
revel. That is grossly erroneous
and unjust. More than likely, any
chorus girl you pick out is send
ing money home to mother and
younger sisters. The few who
may try the so-called gay life
don't last long. They can't stand
the pace. Nobody can.
Few Wed Millionaires.
"The idea that all chorus girls
wed millionaires is pure bun
eombe. But few do, and fewer
still work up from the chorus to
be stars or leading ladies. It's
almost impossible.

live entirely for her work. She
