 About three weeks ago, six state policemen and an equal number of deputy sheriffs made sensational raids upon about fifteen different Ital- ian boarding houses. After their arr rests it developed that two state po- licemen had been working with the Italians for two months previous and had secured considerable evidence of The accused all pleaded guilty and were fined about s2OO each. A short time aafterward State Attorney Warner and Prosecuting Agent F. M. Will Hams started board of inquiry be- fore three grand jurors and sub poenaed before the board about forty witnesses, who in turn were asked for their knowledge in the town dur ing the past year.

REV. DIR. SWAN 10 CONTINUE DISCUSSION
 OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Topic For Vesper Institute Sunday
 Afternoon at South Church.

On last Sunday afternoon before the South Church Vesper Institute pr. R. L. Swain gave a plain state meH of Christian Science from the viewpoint of a Christian Scientist. He made clear the fundamentals of this belief. The address closed when he reached the question "How Does a Christian Scientist Interpret the Bi- b1e?" The subject will be resumed at this point on this Sunday at 5 o'clock. In addition Dr. Swain will explain the significance of Christian Science as religious experience. The matter will be presented without eith- CT laudation or condemnation. The aim will be to answer these questions fairly and squarely in the interest of truth and in the spirit of Christianity. It is hoped that all who come will ap- proach the discussion in this spirit.
 The music is to be furnished by a new string quartette known as the Damozell Quartette. The personnel and selections will be printed later.

(Spoclal 10 The HaTmeF.)
 Fairfield, Nov. 10-Court was held in Westport, Wednesday morning, when Wallace M. Bulkley of this town was against him for trespassing with a dog and gun on posted property in that town on last Saturday.
 The hunting party consisted of Wal lace M BuIhley, Joseph Thorpe and Fred Sturges. IT,, all well known peo- pie of Fairfield. They started out early Saturday morning, as the story goes, and went to the town of West port, where they thought they knew were the birds were. They came to the property of John s. Wakeman, where 1t is alleged that Thorpe shot and killed two wooGcock. One of the farm hands saw the shooting and told MT. Wakeman of the affair.
 Last evening Deputy Sheriff Eli Mead of Westport refused to furnish any information on the matter, saying that he knew nothing at all of the case and never heard of it. It was later found out that warrants were isued for the arrest of the three and that they were given to Sheriff Mead to serve.
 Sturges had gone to New Jersey and would not be back for some time, while Thorpe was in Boston where he has his business, so they could not be reached. A telephOne call was sent to Bulkley in this town and he was told to appear in the court on We'd nesday morning.
 The hearing was held before Justice Samuel A. Purdy, when Bulkley ex- plained he meant no harm intentional fy. Wakeman said he didn't feel much like pressing the charge and he only wanted the hunters to keep from his property The charges were drop ped. Attorney Harry R. Sherwood prosecuted the case.

TO IMPROVE SUBSOlL

The very latest development in Mis-.
souri, is the use of dynamite in the
ground to do deep subsoiling. This
work was started. and encouraged by
one of the large powder companies.
and now seems to be an important
possibility for the improvement OF
some Missouri land.
The fiat prairie lands in central,
northeast and southwest Missouri
have q heavy subsoil which holds wa
ter like a Jug" They are poorly
drained. and therefore do not become
As productive as they otherwise would
II something could be done to break
up the solid subsoil. underground
drainage would be increased, and the
ground would become more workable
and a better place for plants to grow.
The dynamite Is placed in holes
about three feet deep and set Of. The
result is a breaking up and cracking
of the solid clay all around the blast
These are set close enough together
80 that the whole subsoil Is partly
broken up.
1t is claimed by the promoters OF
this plan that the drainage thus es-
tablished will last for about eight
years, when 1t will have to be done
over
The first report Of success with dy-
nam!ting was from farmer in the
southwest part Of the state. He had
no records, but stated that there was
a considerable increase in the crops.

Missouri College of Agriculture has

Silos Solve the Feed Problem.

1t does not pay to devote high-pric-
ed land for long periods to pasturage
and the production of hay. The land
can be put to more profitable use.
Such is the testimony of George P.
Circuit, the dairy expert of Minnesota,
says the Farmer and Stockman, a
state in which the business of dairy
ing is making remarkable strides. In
the past dairymen have largely de-
pended upon pastures for the chief
food supply of their herds; now many
of the most successful milk men are
solving the feed problem by means of
silos.
AS a natural result during the last
few years more silos have been built
than have previously been construct
ed altogether. The prosperous farm
ers in fact are often supplied not
merely with one but with two good
siloS.
The silo Professor circuit asserts,
practically increases the producing
capacity of the farm at least 10 per
cent, and often more. A l60-acre
farm with a silo will produce as much
revenue as one of 1870 acres without.
The first cost of sil0, like that of a
dwelling house, a barn or a team,
should be considered part of the mi
tial investment; and, if ones capital
is limited, it is better to buy farm
smaller by 10 per cent, rather than
dispense with a silo. The producing
value Of silo on $50 land would be
equal to that of twenty acres added to
the l6O-acre farm, or $1,000; on 500
land, it would be $1,000. This is

Save Moisture and Increase Corn Crop
This Is the kind of a season when
the one-horse drag is going to pay
It's way in the corn field. When the
other cultivators have done as much
as possible and the corn Is almost
laid BY" the sun keeps pumping wa.
ter out of the soil. And the corn
needs this water.
Actual results in this part of the
country have shown that especially
in a dry season the drag increases the
yield of corn. That last bit of moisture
which will make the ears little bet
ter filled out and the kernels plumper.
will add good many bushels to the
whole field. And the expense Of op-
Grating it is not great.

Director Thorne of the Ohio Expert.

of wheat in England has increased in
direct proportion to the increase of
the number Of animals per cultivated

large use of domestic animals, this is

cost and increased crops. This de.
partment has many such experiment
fields all over the state, determining
various problems in crop production.
1t is estimated that the average cost
of dynamiting is about $40 an acre,
