but in upper Wisconsin as we'll.
Writing upon the subject of
profitable pork production in a recent
issue of leading agricultural
journal. Mr.. Martin pointed out that
corn can be grown in practically any
county in the state and gave it as mis-
opinion that peas, a crop so easily
grown Ia many sections of Wisconsin.

Express Company's HoId-Up Games
Exposed.

Before you pay charges on an ex-
press package again, it might be a
good idea to make sure the charges
have not been paid at the other end
| The extent to which the express
companies have been robbing the
people by collecting charges at both
ends of a shipment, as revealed before
the Intertate Commerce commission,
is amazing.
In the case of one company alone it
was shown that it made 3 900 over
charges in one day and collected in
one year $68, 600 as overcharges.
The officer Of the company admitted
that the system employed to identify
prepaid packages was faulty, but had
70 particular apology to make.
Demand for transportation charges
ON prepaid shipments must cease, -
declared Commission Lane, who was
plainly provoked 1.-The complaint
of this practice by express companies
is universal.
In addition to the cases of over
charging which come to the attention
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, it is believed that thousands of
shipments are paid for at both ends
of which the commission never hears,
owing to the fact that the victims dc
not know they are being feeced. :

TRIAL OF ALIENS
SET FOR TUESDAY
Captured Members of Vir-
ginia Gang Are Facing
Charges of Murder.
fNational News Association

RICHMOND, Va, April 22-Belief
is general that Judge Staples will. to-
morrow, when he calls the cases
against the Aliens and others, indicted
for the murder of the court officers at
Hlllsville, Carroll county, March 10,
hear further statements from counsel
In the case in regard TO a change of
venue. The State will, it is stated by
Colonel Joseph c. WISER, urge that
the cases be not tried at Hillsville for
the reason that there are many per-
sons who are afraid of the relations
of the Aliens. Judge Staples will go
to Hillsville on Monday next, and the
first thing to be done will be to take
up the indictments charging murder
Colonel WISER will insist that the in
terests of the public will demand that
the men be taken to some other court.
Wytheville, some forty miles away
from Hillsville, is the most favored
place at this time. That the trial
will be held there is the belief of the
men who are best informed. To take
the case to Pulaski, which is nearer
to Hillsville, would be to take it to
the home of the leading counsel for
the state. This will not be asked by
the State, and the defence would op-
pose such step. Judge Staples is
absolutely fearless, and he will sit in
the cases, regardless of where they
are held.
The men to be tried are Floyd AL
len, Victor Allen, Claude Swanson
Allen, Freel Allen, Sidney Edwards
and Byrd Marion. Sidney Allen and
Wesley Edwards are still at large,
with rewards of $1,000 each standing
for their apprehension and delivery of
their bodies, dead or alive. The be-
lief now is that the men have made
their escape and have gone to the Pa
cific coast

are disappearing and lands are becom-
ing valuable, communities are awak-
ening to the necessity of immediate
action if the future generations are
to be provided for along these lines.
